Holiday Perfection

This dress is so stunning and perfect for the holidays! A little small in the arms -- no zipper -- so it's a little tight to get over the head, but once on, plenty of room.

Puffy Skirt Magic

This is an amazing dress, warm and festive. I successfully made it casual enough to wear to dinner with the addition of boots and a hat and received compliments all night. I'd buy it if it wasn't crazy expensive but will definitely rent again.

OBSESSED

I felt so gorgeous and comfy from head to toe. The bodice is so sexy and warm and the sleeves are PERFECT and so feminine. The skirt is so beautiful. I want this in a million other colors. I think w the green-taffeta looking fabric I have to reserve it for holiday events only, but if it came in other colors I would be purchases!

Wear with simple jewelry. The emerald green is elegant enough without too much other.

Unique!!

Fits perfectly, top is a sweater, bottom is beautiful ball of puff. Such a dramatic look, I got so many compliments on the streets. Definitely a mature look but I made it more playful with sneakers.

It's a dream

This dress is elegant and edgy, the dark green color was perfect for holiday and winter events, and the bubble hem taffeta skirt gives ball gown vibes without the length. The sleeve slit, fitted top, everything about it is a dream. I wore it 4 times and I usually only wear my rentals once or twice.

Great pick for a wedding

Loved it. Wore it to a cousins outdoor wedding in Ireland in May so the top was great in the cold weather. It looks very glam on and I don't regret my choice at all.

Favorite holiday dress

My favorite holiday dress ever! So many compliments - people thought I was in a play or something. Comfortable and perfect. I wore it twice - the second time I figured out that the pointy things on the side might be pockets so I pushed them in (not deep enough to hold anything though). Love this dress - favorite holiday dress of all time. Sorry about the awkward restroom photo but all others were in groups and you couldn’t really see the dress.

I actually couldn’t believe my luck when I scored one of the most coveted holiday dresses for 2024. SO comfortable. SO chic. Just the right amount of unique. Wore it for family holiday card pics, and plan to wear it two more times this season!

Perfect fit

The dress has a slender fit through the waist and flares gracefully from the hips past the knee, which is so flattering and exceedingly ladylike. I had three compliments on it in one evening. Size Xsmall

My husband said it reminded him of a dress from the hunger games. I just liked it because it was so beautiful but comfy and even when I wasn’t feeling great, it made me look great. :)

High style but comfortable

I wore this dress multiple times over the holidays. First off, I am tall and can carry off the volume. This is not the dress for shorter gals. The top is like a stretchy sweater and is super comfortable, especially for hosting. I was a little surprised by the high slit on the sleeves and found I had to tuck them in when I was hostessing, but they were perfect when I was a guest. The bottom is a voluminous silky material with a crinoline and super fun to wear. It pokes out on the sides, which makes it look like it comes from a high end Japanese designer. I got loads of compliments, and it was really fun to wear. The color is also a beautiful emerald. I wish I could buy it!

It was a nice dress

I wore on a field trip to a theater and then I work it to the school sneaker ball. It was a tiny weird fit in the waist but I loved it. Lots of compliments. My students looooved the dress. I loved the weight of the dress and the poof at the bottom…and it’s definitely for winter weather.

You will look like a sack of potatoes

I could not wear this dress! I really wanted to wear it to a formal dinner party and it looked so elegant on the model online but in person it’s awful. The bottom is soooo fluffy and unmanageable. My husband laughed when I tried it on. The color is pretty but that’s about all that is going for it.

I am normally between a M and L. The M fit me well because the hips are really floofy on this dress. I loved it and got a bunch of compliments when I wore this to the symphony.

WOW definitely a dress to impress

My only wish is for this to come in petite sizing. I went to an awards show with this dress and nearly every person I encountered complimented it. This is a fantastic dress that is so surprisingly flattering. It hugs in all the right places and poofs in all the right places. Plus the POCKETS. Absolute heaven. You can see sometimes the fabric bunches a little because I'm more suited to petites, like around my elbow / inner shoulders / lower back / & top of the hips, but it was a minor issue that I could solve with a little tug here or there as the night progressed. It was worth the little bit of work!

Genuinely an extremely flattering dress. Just the right formal (yet comfortable) dress. The silky taffeta gives it a great bounce and poof…the top portion of dress is almost a sweater like knit. Received so many compliments.

What a dress! It looks very feminine and a perfect combination of dressy (skirt) and casual (top).

I'm 5'6" and 113 lbs and size xs fits perfectly. I usually wear a size 2.
