Wore this to a birthday party and loved it! The back is open with a cute bow. The mid section was a little tight but was forgiving in the middle. Would rent this again. 

Fit was tight around my ribcage (which sticks out a little), so I had to go from my typical 8/10 to a 14. The 14 was a little big in the chest area, but fit well everywhere else. I'm 5'4 and have an athletic build. I loved this dress. 

The size 4 fit be really well, it was a little tight on my ribs but nothing too uncomfortable. It was the perfect length for me.

This dress was exceptional! The fabric was soft and luxurious. It felt both classic and sophisticated, yet the open back gave it an extra touch. My chest is small enough that I was able to go braless which was nice. I received compliments all night long! 

I had to size up to the 6 because the empire waist doesn’t budge. But the then the bust was a tad large on my B-sized bust. Not so large I couldn’t wear it though. It was classy, and I got a LOT of compliments.

I absolutely loved this dress. It's very comfortable and fits true to size. Loved the bow detail on the back as well! 

I ended up wearing an entirely different dress, but since I had paid for these size 12 & 14 extra dresses too, I let my friend wear this one. She is normally a size 12-14, is about 5' 3", is 38B and 165lb. The 14R fit her perfectly. The back cut out and the bow made this simple dress so much more "fun". No bra was needed for this dress either which is a WIN. 

Wore this to a cocktail Christmas party. Got tons of compliments. The bow in the back is a cute twist on the classic LBD

This is the second time I have rented this dress! It's so cute and fits me perfectly. 

The dress was fantastic in material and design but it was a bit too large in the chest for me. I got away with wearing it to the event I needed it for but, wish it was more fitting up top!

I rented this for a wedding! I wore a different dress because of the weather but loved this dress! 

I always teeter between a 10 and 12. I'm 5'4 150 pounds, 36C and I wore the 12. The top was really baggy so I tried the 10 but I couldn't even get it zippered. The stomach area is tight and the dress flares out. I just wish the top fit better. I always had a big gap from my shoulder to the dress because of the bagginess. 

Had to size up due to side zipper. Wore a stick on strapless bra. Flattering and comfortable. 

I received so many compliments on this dress. It was super classy, fit great, and was perfect for a business party. 

Excellent quality and perfect for a cocktail affair. Loved the way this felt on. The back was lower than I anticipated so you can't really wear a bra with it - luckily there are plenty of contraptions for that now. Only reason it's 4 instead of 5 stars is that the cute "belt" in the middle that gives the dress its shape is tight and the zipper catches there. 

true fit, perfect for my height! (i'm 5"3) very comfortable and flattering.
