LOVED this dress for a black tie wedding. As a 6’1 gal the long size was just perfect on me. The sides on the bra area were a little loose but with a push up bra was fine. 

Heavier at the bottom so if you need something to breathe a bit more at the bottom this isn't the dress. I am size 6 but my bust is larger so went with the large. 

This dress fit right in all the right places. It had a good amount of stretch when needed and hugged the right places. 

Total showstopper dress! Absolutely perfect for a black tie wedding affair. The quality is unparalleled. Even though I could barely zipper this dress up, I still loved it. 

I'm 5'1, 135 lbs- I wore the small petite and it fit well everywhere except it was a touch long even with 3 inch heels. The back lace kept getting caught, so eventually I took off my heels and held it up to dance. Other than that, I loved not having to wear a bra and feeling fully supported! Would recommend!

Hugs curves perfectly. I'm about 5' 2", wore this with comfortable heels and the length was perfect! You won't need a bra. The adjustable straps are amazing for small or busty ladies. 

I have NO complaints about this dress. Nice fabric. Easy to wear. No Spanx nor Skims needed. Hugged curves and was very flattering. Rent!

If you’re between two sizes, go with the larger size! 

This dress hugged my curves and was very flattering! I received so many compliments. 

Ordered a SP and XSP, the XSP was too tight on the bodice on my ribs. The SP was perfect. Length was perfect with heels. This dress is EXTREMELY flattering and beautiful. Perfect for a black tie event, I felt fabulous in it.

The dress was definitely very fitted, but it was relatively comfortable and I wasn’t spilling out at the bust. The straps are also adjustable, which is a plus. It was a lovely shape, and I received compliments as soon as I walked into the wedding. 

This dress is a WIN for the girls with curves and did wonders for my average bust and was almost corset like. The large was barelyyyyy a fit but I managed. Got compliments all evening. 

I loved this dress. The bottom half is very thick, so no spanx required and it was very comfortable. I wore stiletto style heels and they did get stuck in the lace a few times, but it was not a big deal. If you plan to wear block heels or a wedge, you would have zero issues with this dress. 

I was 13 weeks pregnant and I ordered both the MR and LR I ended up wearing the LR for extra room but I could have wore the MR. The only issue I had with the dress is that my heel kept getting stuck in the top layer of the dress. Wore to a military ball and it was perfect! 

Perfect wedding guest outfit or any black tie event. 

This is probably on me for trying this dress knowing my body type but I didn’t feel great in it. I ended up wearing a different dress. 

Perfect dress for a formal wedding! Gold detail is minimal but the dress is gorgeous. It fits well and was comfortable to wear all night. Form fitting but enough stretch to dance and sit comfortably. 

Wrote this to a black & white gala and it was a stunner! If you want it to really hug your curves, go with your normal size. I ordered both a large and XL and decided I wanted it just a bit looser. Comfortable with a nice amount of stretch. Note that my heels did keep catching in the lace overlay so I had to hold it up when I walked even though it wasn’t too long. 

A little lower cut than expected but adjustable straps!

I loved it! The fabric has some stretch to it and hugged my curves perfectly. 
Pros: 
- I didn’t have to wear a bra and was not worried about flashing anybody if I had to lean forward
- 3-inch heels were enough to keep the dress from dragging on the floor 
Con:
The only thing I can think of is the lace detailing may get snagged if you’re not mindful. I could not rest my clutch on my lap, or it would get caught on the lace (the clutch was bedazzled). 

The flowers are entirely black. It’s nice just not my style. The top felt a bit tight, if I had bigger boobs it probably would’ve been uncomfortable. Good dress but I won’t be wearing it anywhere.

I loved this dress—I wore it to the opera and paired it with a shawl. Boyfriend had to help me zip it up and it was a bit snug but standard for a gown like this. I wouldn’t want to have worn this to a wedding or an event where I’d be moving, because with how short my torso is and my proportions (5’2”, ~200 lbs, 36DD) my boobs were very present and I was adjusting a lot even though I had the straps tightened well. Dress was also really long so I had to hold the skirt up to walk without tripping, even in 4 inch heels. Still loved the dress and was happy with how it looked, just be aware of cleavage if you’re a short + stout lady like me!

This was a gorgeous black dress - with the right amount of detail. Just be aware that if you’re fuller in the chest, it IS pretty fitted up top (originally assumed I could wear a strapless bra, but quickly found out nothing else was going to fit up there LOL)

Beautiful dress. I sized up after reading review and the dress fit like a glove. Super comfortable. Lots of compliments. Very happy with this dress

Just under 5 foot 4 inches and had to wear shorter heels for dress not to drag 

For great, beautiful detailing, very comfortable! 

This is a gorgeous dress! I added an antique broach at the decolletage (cleavage) area - which "made" the 20's theme. The "gold" doesn't really show much - especially for an evening event. 
Since this dress is form fitting - body measurements do not track as well - so make sure to get the next size up for your "extra size" in case. While you don't need a bra in the dress, but you are smaller up top,  you may need wish to add something fill it out a bit. For the price and the style I totally would order this dress again. My big selling point was seeing real people wearing the real dresses and I can't wait until the next event I need a themed gown!


This is probably my favorite dress I have rented so far. Wore it to a gala. Ordered the small and medium. Both fit. But went with the medium so that the girls weren’t showing as much since it was a work event. Wish I owned this dress. 

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding in NYC. It was appropriately formal but the detailing on the skirt helped it stand out from the many other black gowns. The skirt was heavy so I wasn’t cold when the sun went down but the top kept me cool and comfortable during the sunny outdoor ceremony. We were running late for the event so I was relieved to see how low maintenance this dress was when I put it on. I got ready in under 30 mins, put the dress on with a low heel (the length could be too short for anyone taller that wants a heel, I’m 5’7” and wore a 1” heel), and walked out the door. No fashion tape, safety pins, or even bra, needed. For that alone I’d give it 5 stars but I’m a big wedding dancer and this dress was NOT great for an indoor dance floor. Hot would be an understatement.Bottom line: if you’ve got a fall/winter, or outdoor, black tie event and want a low maintenance dress, this is the one for you! 

I went to a Black tie themed wedding in Charlotte and this dress accomplished the goal with an edge in style! I received constant compliments about its look and fitting. I ordered the medium as a backup, but wore it to the wedding. It hugged my curves just right, but the top was pretty snug. Fortunately it gave my chest a natural lift! It was difficult bending over without squatting. The length was good for my frame. The dress was also comfortable enough for dancing!
