I am 5’3” 114 pounds with an a cup size I thought the extra small would work but I couldn’t zip it up. The small was perfect.

Beautiful gown, wore to an Oscars after party. Loved every moment! 

I read the reviews and ordered a size up, generally I’m a small,- medium was perfect! I’m 5’4,” 123 pounds, 34B, athletic figure, my normal dress size is a 4. Just a little double sided dress tape so I wouldn’t have to keep pulling it up all night,  and it was phenomenal for our gala. Got so many compliments!

Normally, my measurements would suggest I get a medium, which I ordered. The large size was my fall back since I’d seen some reviews saying that the top fit snugly and I have a very ample chest for my waist size. The medium fit PERFECTLY around the small of my waist but there was absolutely no way I could have closed the top as it left absolutely no give for my chest. I ended up wearing the large for the event because I could at least zip it all the way up, but the waist was not fitted on me anymore so I was yanking it up a lot. I wore a strapless bra underneath and because of the way the neckline turns down towards the sides, every time I moved or so much as breathed the bra showed from the dip in the armpit area. I thought this could be a great first try into strapless but whoever designed this dress did not have busty women in mind for it. The material was thick and hung nicely but without a waist that fitted correctly it only served to pull the dress down over and over throughout the night. Gotta love the pockets though. 

Rent this dress if you want to feel like a princess or a 1950s movie star! Extremely comfortable, and the dress has a nice weight and structure to it.

I sized up to large based on the reviews and found the bust to be a bit loose on me with no bra. I wore a strapless bra for my event, and the dress fit perfectly with the extra padding. However after wearing for 4+ hours, the fabric stretched out and i had to continuously pull the dress up. Other than that the dress was a dream! Beautiful and fun to dance in and I loved the deep red color 

I didn't end up wearing the dress because at 5'2", it just wasn't right for me. It hit at ankle height, which ended up looking a bit weird. 

Also very tight in the chest with no stretch! I usually wear a size 6 and 34C chest, but even a medium could barely zip up. 

Overall, nice dress for winter (pockets! heavy material!) if you're a taller person with a flatter chest. Sad I couldn't wear!

Wore it for a wedding and received so many compliments. It is longer in the center, shorter on the sides so heals were a must as I'm 5'5". The material is really heavy and it runs small, I guess it has to so it stays up! All in all very happy with this rental!

This was my backup dress and only available in a Med. I’m petite 5’-2” & 115 lbs and previous rented this in an XS that I couldn’t breathe in. I wore this to my event because while a heavier dress it was comfortable. 

Perfect dress for a fall wedding. Ran a little bit small (usually wear XS, went with a S). 

I am a 32A and was so surprised at how tight the bust was. This was a beautiful dress, but I may have even needed to size up to a medium. Ended up wearing something different.

This is a thick, structured dress that looks great on. The top is very tight so it doesn't slide down - however, I have a small chest so I can't imagine someone with a larger chest fitting. My only other note is that I thought the shade of red would be more bright and vibrant, but it's actually a deeper burgundy

Beautiful dress that has a nice heavy weight to it. It was tight in the chest for me (34F) but fit well in the waist and plenty of room in the hips. I would definitely rent again. It's a good dress for any tune if the year unless you're going to be outside for awhile when it's super hot, as the fabric is on the thicker and heavier side. 

Overall, this dress was a win! I received so many compliments and LOVED that it has pockets! I hover between wearing a small and medium, and went with the medium for this one. The body fits snug and doesn't have any stretch, but the rest of the dress is comfy and roomy. This dress is heavy and because the rib cage of the medium was a touch too big (again, I'm between sizes) I found myself pulling it up frequently. I'm a 34C, 5'6" and roughly 140 lbs. 

I rented this dress to take my graduation photos and to chaperone a prom dance. I got the large and a medium just in case the medium ran a bit small because some reviews said the top was really tight. The top was a little tight but it actually was really nice because it made it not fall at all throughout the evening. It was gorgeous. I loved it, got lots of compliments, and it was easy to jazz up with accessories. 

Super beautiful dress! I felt like a woman on the red carpet all night! Only issue was it was right in the chest but if you're larger up there it worked out because I knew it wouldn't slip down! 

Heavy but great quality. Forgot about the pockets! They don’t stick out at all. Wore this for my Valentine’s Day rehearsal dinner :)

Super cute dress, received lots of compliments! 

Beautiful fabric, very heavy, not shiny or stretchy, almost like a brocade but with no pattern. Photographs beautifully and is a deep, true red, not orangey and not purple-y. Warning for my curvy sisters though - it is very small in the bust! I am a 34B and was a little squished in a size 2. But for those with small busts who want a strapless gown that doesn't feel like it's going to slide down at any moment, this dress is great! It is perfect for photos, hangs great and doesn't flap around or catch light weirdly. I was very happy with it and my owl approves as well!

This dress was so unique and the color was gorgeous. It fit really well, the material was pretty heavy so it was perfect for a winter holiday party (I was actually warm the whole night!). Got a lot of compliments, kind of wish I bought it!

Wore this to a Nov black tie optional wedding in Mexico. I got so many compliments! It's definitely small, especially in the busy - I wish I had had a large to compare to, but the medium worked and the boning on the sides wasn't too restrictive. Loved the pockets too, deep enough to fit everything I needed for the evening so I didn't need a purse, plus the weights on the hem meant I could dance with things in them and they stayed in the pocket. Would definitely rent again!

This dress was flattering and I loved that it had pockets. The material was nice and heavy. I usually wear an 8 in pants but a small or medium in tops. I ordered the medium and large and couldn't even zip up the medium so I had to wear the large. I'm 5"10 and loved the tea length. Perfect for a formal reunion event!

Such a stunning dress! Wore this for my engagement photos and revived so many compliments, as well as just felt great while wearing. The only suggestion I have is to size up as I am normally a small (anywhere from a 0-4) and had to get a medium!

I absolutely adored this dress. It is true to size in all areas, except the chest. I am a 34B and this was SNUG. Sitting down for dinner at the wedding, I was slightly uncomfortable in the boning.  I ordered a Small & was worried a Medium would be too large overall. It worked great otherwise - perfect for a fall wedding.  The fabric is heavy and beautiful. Lots of compliments. Best part - it has pockets! 

Comfy, beautiful, fun to spin in, has pockets- what more could you want? The material was a tad heavy, but nothing I couldn't handle. 

Beautiful dress! The bust and waist were tight so I wore the SM but I preferred the length of the XS. The dress is heavy and the material is thick. Great for a winter wedding but I did have to keep pulling it up. Overall, great dress! I'd rent it again

I love the shape of this dress! And having pockets was awesome. The only watch out is the dress is heavy. Material was thick which was nice (I didn’t wear a bra) but it would have been hot if the wedding was 100% outside.

This dress is one for the books, I wore this my Harvard award ceremony. I received so many compliments and it felt amazing to wear. The top is snug, so it doesn’t slide down and has grips on it which helps, the length is nice, it didn’t go past my ankles, so it allowed for any type of shoe to be worn. The wine-red color is exquisite and went so well with my sun kissed skin tone. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!!
Sorry for the selfie photo, the site won't allow me add any of my other photos. 

The dress fit perfectly! I did go without a bra for more comfort but other than that the length and size was perfect and I'm a short girl. It was heavier material than I expected, but that didn't stop me from moving around easily. Also, POCKETS!!!! Would definitely rent again!

I was concerned about the length being awakward on me because I'm only 5'2, but it fit perfectly. The material is thick so I would deff wear this in the fall/winter because you might be too hot in the spring or summer 

Beautiful dress, heavy rich material.  The reviews said the top ran small,  especially if you are busty. Very true. I am 5' 135 lbs and the I wore the large size due to the tightness of the top. The medium fit perfect everywhere except the top. Overall very happy with the dress, received alot of compliments.

Fit perfectly! Received a ton of compliments and loved the color with my skin tone!

I got the M and the L and wore the medium. The M was a little tight in the bust. It worked, but it was a bit hard to breathe. The L wouldn't have stayed up, though. 

Loved the dress! I got the medium and large and ended up going with the large. The medium was too tight around the bustline. The large was just a tad too big, but it stayed up for the most part. My bust size is 34 D

Material is thick and nice. The color is fantastically rich. Little right on the bust so if you are more ample in that area it may be uncomfortable. I am not so it was perfect. Just all around gorgeous and a good alternative to a full gown for a black tie event.

Rented as my back-up, but really loved the dress. Runs small, chests was tight so be sure to size up. 

Did not end up wearing this for my intended event, but it was a great dress. Comfortable, well fitting, has pockets. The fabric was darker in person than expected and slightly textured, but very nice. 

After reading the reviews of the top running very small, I would have to say I agree with them. Had I not worn a silky blouse layered underneath making it slide easier, I think it would have stayed put better. The fabric was thick and heavy, which I usually look for in an event dress. The color was so gorgeous. I styled mine with a coordinating colored blouse and bright yellow accents!

I rented this dress for a formal winter event for my company and I would rent it again. I absolutely loved this dress. I got a lot of compliments for it, and it fit just right. The dress is a little heavy so you might get too hot during summer. Other than that, it is a really fun dress, simple and classy. The best part? It has pockets!!! Totally recommend it. 

Rented for a formal holiday party. I loved this dress so much that it was worth braving extremely cold & snowy weather. Shows a lot of cleavage, but I loved that you don't need to wear a bra. It is very structured, but you can still move around and dance comfortably.
