I wore this for a fall wedding, and it felt chic and unique. I'd say if you're in between sizes to size up! I went for the larger of my two rental sizes, and it was still a bit snug in some areas.

I wore this for my engagement party. The vibe was dressed up but not formal. I loved the dress and it was a hit! I went with the smaller size, which is my usual size, but I thought I might need to size up since I am busty. It was not necessary! I felt more secure in the smaller size with the bow tied tight. It is such a beautiful and comfortable dress.

So many compliments, a bit loose on my shoulders, but absolutely loved it

Great fit for curvy girls. Got tons of compliments all night long. Tight enough on top that everything stayed in place.

I wore this to a pretty fancy wedding and I fit right in with all the gowns but added some personality to all the stuffiness. I didn’t feel like fussing with a bra or fashion tape - it was mostly fine but it did creep down my shoulders from time to time. Everyone’s right about the compliments, they kept on coming!

This was so flattering and comfortable for a fall wedding. Got so many compliments all night! 

The fabric was really pretty and I liked the concept, but the top was too big and the hips were too tight for my body type. Initially thought I’d wear this to a rehearsal dinner, but went with another option. 

I loved so much about this dress, but the flaws made it difficult to enjoy wearing it for the evening. As other reviewers said, it’s VERY low cut. I have a small chest and though that I’d be able to keep the dress comfortably close to my skin with dress tape. This did not work. There is no stretch at all. The waist was a little tight and the top was not clingy enough. After the one hour ceremony the top had loosened so much that the shoulders were falling down which led to more exposure. I ended up stopping at target for a bralette to go underneath for the ceremony. Ultimately I wish I had worn a  bralette underneath from the beginning. It was stunning as long as I didn’t move to much and at 5’3” the length with the size 2 was perfect. 

Easy to dress up or down and hell comfy. The plunge is just enough to be fun but not too much that you need fashion tape. The back is mostly open so not sure how it would work for those who don’t like going braless

I loved this dress. My size wasn’t available so I had to size up. That worked out but the shoulders were a little large. I tied the back as tight as I could but I did worry about my chest being over exposed. I loved the look and it was perfect for a holiday party. I got tons of compliments and only wish I could have found better breast tape to accommodate the look. Would recommend! 

So flattering & such a beautiful material. Got a lot of compliments. Fits true to size. 

Everyone loved the dress, it was so comfortable. A very cute fit but I got a size two and I just didn’t fill it out enough in the bust. I ended up putting a zip up leather jacket over it and it was still very cute. I would have gone down a size for a perfect fit. Loved this dress!

This is such a cozy dress for a winter formal event. The ties on the sleeves are a great derail. I didn’t end up wearing it this time but I’ll rent again 

This dress is just perfect! It’s romantic and sweet, and the velvet is lovely for a winter wedding. It is just fitted enough to be super flattering and also comfortable. I got so many compliments and was sad to send this one back!

SO pretty and different for a fall/winter wedding! Cut is VERY low but stays tight, so felt very secure. True to size

I got so many compliments wearing this dress. The puff sleeves and velvet are super dramatic and fun. Perfect for winter wedding/black tie party

I loved this dress so much I almost bought it. It is so so flattering, you should def rent it. Runs true to size but if I rent again I would get the 6- the fabric is very flowy through the hips and the busy is adjustable because of the tie in the back. My bust was a bit too small for the 8 and the fabric didn't stay tied tight. Overall, the perfect dress for a formal fall event. 

The waist was too tight in the 4 but the size 6 the sleeves were slipping off my shoulders and the back was saggy :( . I’m a 34B and used boob tape to hold my boobs in place (u can’t wear a bra with straps) and they looked lovely. Wish the sizing was better but the length was good and material is very cozy— it worked for the winter wedding. 

LOVED this dress. It was perfect for a fall wedding. If you’re as small chested as I am you will need all of the sticky boobs - adjusting throughout the night kind of got annoying but I was still super happy with the dress.

I love this dress! I’m normally a 4 and for. 6 in the dress. I’m glad I did! It fit perfectly and was super comfortable!
