I'm 5'8, 165 lbs. normal size 10. Could have gotten away with a size 10 but 12 wasn't to big.

Perfect Dress for black tie optional wedding

Fit was true to size, as I am usually a 6 and this was a little loose in the hips/bottom half. It fit TTS in the bust/waist. Great for a cocktail or black tie optional wedding!

Comfortable and elegant

This dress has a lot of stretch, so it is quite comfortable. I did have trouble getting the zipper past the waist, but I could not tell if it was just a flaw of this particular item, and not the design of the dress. Very pretty for a party.

The sleeves were really feminine with stunning design

The fit of this dress was snug and had strong structure while at the same time a soft feminine flow. On camera the navy blue looked black, which is no big deal. I just prefer a pop of brightness due to my dark walls. Would be great for a wedding or night out. Conservative in its structure with the lace as beautiful touch of detail this dress could be good for multiple events.

Classy & fun at the same time.

The waist is small on this dress & I am 5'9 & it was still tea length on me. I got a lot of compliments from all. It was conservative but still fun & great for a work awards dinner.

I forgot to take a formal photo, but I uploaded this one so that length is visible. This picture does not do this dress justice. It's a beautiful cut and color. The black and deep blue are a perfect combination.

Loved the lace edges!

The dark colors and lace made this dress perfect for a winter wedding. The waist is slim and doesn't have much give. I wanted tights for the weather, but given the length I thought sheet black looked better than opaque black. I'll definitely look for this brand for future weddings!

Beautiful dress

Very nice fabric, great fit! Looks and feels very high quality. Beware. It does wrinkle very easily. It's a little bit on the bigger end but this is nice because then your arms don't feel like they're strapped down.

The perfect semi conservative cocktail dress!

I love this dress by Jonathan Simkhai! Running true to size with no stretch but a bit of room for movement, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and has little movement at the hips at the hips. It works for cup sizes A-D. You are not able to wear a standard bra with this dress due to the sheer lace on the shoulders, so you should wear a strapless bra. At 5’4”, the length hit tea length on me. The lace pattern and color of the dress is amazing in person. Pair with black heels and fun earrings to complete your outfit!

Great work dress! Longer than expected!

The lace on this hit below the knee (I'm 5'10"). Also the neckline lace is sheer so wear black bra straps to avoid it showing through. Otherwise very cute dress.

Christmas Eve

Loved this dress! Many compliments at Christmas party. Rented with RTR Unlimited. The Fit was great everywhere except the bust. You should size up if larger than a DD. I'm an H cup and I wish I had ordered a 6 because I couldn't even wear a bra with this dress. Fit like a glove everywhere else.

Very long, made for someone who is taller.

This dress is made of thick material. It hit me in a weird place on my body. It is made for a taller person. I would also say that zipping it up was an issue. Once the zipper gets to the black band it is near impossible without help and persistence. Overall, it wasn’t my style and I’m not tall enough to pull it off. I wore it to a wedding rehearsal dinner.

Love the detailing

I loved this dress, but if you have a larger ribcage like me, it will be super uncomfortable! I may try it in the next size, but it will likely be too large in the chest.

I really enjoyed this dress. Beautiful, clastic, well made and easy to wear.

It fit well...true to size for my narrower upper body and waist and pear hips and thighs. No cons with this one for me.

perfect wedding guest dress

I am 6ft tall and it went right below my knees. I usually wear a 6. but the waste was a bit small and there is no stretch so I am glad I opted for the other size to come. it fit perfectly. You don't feel over dressed wearing it, but you feel sophisticated and gorgeous. fits like a glove.

Ended up being too tight for me to wear

Beautiful dress. Unclear if it runs small or I'm maybe not really size a 8 anymore. Size 10 wasn't available. Maybe I will try renting this again if I lose some weight or if 10 is a available.

Very small waist

If you do not have a narrow waist, or have a larger bust, maybe pass on this one. It has some seaming at the waist with a zipper tight spot over it, and pulled awkwardly…but fit very well everywhere else. Pretty lace. Nice material.

Back up dress...

This was a back up dress. Pretty, but not for me. Sadly, the first choice dress was a fail, too. This dress is navy with black lace. Not 100% black. The dress fit everywhere except for the chest. I am busty and this squashed the girls into one big mass. Nice material, great length. Size up if you are well endowed!

The bust fit me well. I felt like I had a figure in this dress

Given my height, it fell below my knees. The navy material will not stretch so average or large-busted ladies may need to consider sizing up. It fit me well and I received loads of compliments!

Elegant

Very fitted at the waist. I'm a 27-28 inch waist and size 4 was Probably a 27.5 inch waist. I decided to stick with the 4 instead of trying a 6 because the rest fit so well. It is perfect for an hour glass figure. I loved the unexpected see-through neckline and bottom lace. Still elegant and appropriate for a work party or formal affair.

I wore this dress to work and was able to transition to a date night at a musical. The dress fit perfectly and I loved the lace at the bottom because it made the dress appropriate for a conservative environment, but added interest for an evening out.
