10/10 ⭐️

I loved this dress, fit perfectly! Very flattering. Wore to a cocktail attire wedding in Charleston. Very secure for dancing 💃🏼! The button details were too cute!

A summer favorite! 💖

A flattering not too short one for the tall ladies. One of my favorite dresses to dress up or down.

Great for a night out

I wore this to a dinner party, it fit really well, and I felt comfortable in it all night. Paired with with a demon jacket and platform sandals. The lining is thick enough that you can go forego a bra, if you want. Would rent again!

Fitted but not too fitted and it’s thick so you won’t sweat through

Wore for game day. Perfect.

Great for a clean and polished look

Loved it! I had a little trouble putting it on, but once in, it’s a beautiful fit. The subtle details of the top and front, give this dress a little edge. The site recommended XS, but I chose S and I am glad because the top would have been too tight. The Small fitted just right. Perfect length and form fitting without being too tight. Good quality fabric; it is thick enough and a little bit stretchy. I went out to dinner and nothing showed. So versatile too. It can be dressed up or down. I am planning to wear this dress with a pair of sneakers too for something more casual in the near future.

Amazing neutral dress!

I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to wear this but it fit perfectly and didn’t feel too short (although definitely pushing it.) I wore this to a comedy show and dinner date and got stopped by people all night with compliments. It’s a really stunning dress.

A little big but still so cute!

I am typically a 4/6 and got an 8 because that's all that was available. Understandably, it was a little big but I still wore without issue and loved it so much!! Wore in NYC. Went braless. Super comfortable!

Very pretty but little tricky to get on and tricky sizing

It is tough to get over the hips because the zip isn’t down so far. I would recommend sizing up. Although if I sized up, it would then be too large on top. Just keep in mind that the right size for you will probably be tricky to get on but the dress itself is gorgeous.

ooh sexy!

the halter is self-tie, the straps are adjustable. i would say the 0 was a bit tighter than i'd probably like but i don't know that i would like the fit of the 2. not a big fan of the buttons but overall really like this. dont know if i'd rent again but would want to try more from simkhai

Super cool - Skin tone specific!

This dress is very cool and the buttons are just lovely. Didn’t wear because it was a bit funky on my chest, but it fit my shape super well. Maybe one size up? Honestly the color got me in the end or I may have worn it. This shade just depends on your skin tone!

Little too big

Was scared to order a S because I expected it to be a tighter based on picture of model/reviews and I'm a 4-6. But the S was a bit lose and I could have sized down for a tighter fit. But still loved it SO much

Cute Neutral Mini

Shows a lot up top, but comfy through the bodice. Probably better for smaller chested ladies.

Classy silhouette

Wore in Vegas at my favorite venue (Delilah, do go). Perfect fit, not tight yet supported my figure fully. Very classy and subtle, since it’s all one color/material. The reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because this shade of beige isn’t the most flattering for my skin/hair color. Overall great item.

This dress had potential, but I was so disappointed by the overall

Do not order if you have a larger bust!! Could see how it might be flattering on someone with an A cup or maybe even small B though

Too short

I’m 5’2” and found this dress a bit too short for my comfort. It might come down to personal preference, but I didn’t feel comfortable wearing it as a dress, it felt more like a long top on me.
