This dress hits in that perfect spot of being able to be for a more formal event and a more casual date out. I absolutely loved this dress and the lace detailing on the shoulders. It was so pretty and comfortable. The lace is so nicely made and the whole dress feels very luxe. Almost kept it, but didn't think I needed another semi-formal dress. 

Loved this dress! Wore it for a black tie optional wedding and received tons of compliments. I ended up wearing the smaller size as it ran a bit large in the torso. 

Wore for work holiday party
Easy to style and flattering 
Beautiful quality piece 

A little tight on top and sleeves but I’m pretty big and it still fit. Can wear a bra and it’s barely noticeable. Pic is at end of night because I always forget to take it before! 

I wore this to officiate a friend’s wedding and it was the perfect combination of classy and fun. The wedding was outside in fall and it was breezy so the lace kept me cool under the stress of officiating my first wedding! My preferred size couldn’t ship so I had to wear the back up size and even though it was larger than it needed to be, it worked out! 

I took this to Paris because I thought the lace just screamed France.  Wore it out to a swanky dinner and it was just gorgeous...compliments aplenty and I felt fabulous in it. Will rent again for a special occasion.

This dress didn’t require a fancy bra, shape wear, or tape- a win for sure! I did wear a T-back bra so the straps didn’t show through the lace sleeves. The arms were a bit snug as others have mentioned but otherwise it was roomy. Nice quality - loved wearing it. 

Sleeves were a little tight in the arm but my arms are bigger. I wore a black tank underneath as not to see my skin at the waist 
It is a heavy dress and great quality. I wear a size 10 short jean and this was a 12. It fit perfect 

Really loved this dress. Very unique. Felt fully covered despite the skin. I did find this dress tight in the ribs and think I would have been more comfortable in a larger size. Still looked great. 

I loved this dress, and have been looking for an occasion to wear it. The dress worked well for a Spring wedding. If you get hot easily I wouldn’t recommend this mid weight fabric dress in the summer. However, I found it comfortable to wear and overall flattering for my pear shaped body. The size 6 fit my 42” hips which is always a concern for me. I did not have any issue dancing because of the shoulders/sleeves being sung as others have mentioned. 

Wore this to a formal family party. Got lots of compliments! I’m usually a 12 — I got a 10 as my back up size after reading reviews and I wish I would have gotten a 14 instead. She was very tight in the arms and in the waist. She zipped, but she was tight! 

Fit like a dream, elegant, and the detail is wonderful. I did not have the problems with tight sleeves that other renters have reported, but the dress is fitted (flatteringly), so I can see how that might happen. 

I love this dress and would’ve bought it if I had any reasons to wear it 😂 It has zero stretch but felt pretty true to size. I’m 5’3” and it came to my ankles, perfect to show off cute shoes. 

Loved this dress. Got so many compliments. Fits just right and is very flattering. Will be renting again for other formal events in the future. 

I loved this dress! The black lace is classic but the cut outs make it so unique and different. I am 5’7 and I felt like it was a little long and it had sewn in hanging loops that showed through the cutouts that I had to tuck into my bra to hide, which wasn’t easy with a high neck, back zip dress. But I would still absolutely wear this again. 

This was a stand out dress even at an event where everyone was dressed to stand out. I was very pleased with this rental. I rented both the 12 and 14. I could have worn the 12 but went with the 14 for comfort. The arms and neck were small on the 12 but it fit beautifully everywhere else. 

I wore this for a semi formal event with my husband’s company. I usually wear a 4 but the 2 was absolutely perfect. I didn’t feel like it was constricting my neck or arms at all. It is proper tea length so if you like a little more calf and shin exposed it might not be for a petite person. I loved it though. If I could walk in higher heels, I think a dramatic high pump would look amazing with it too. It felt proper and sexy at the same time. I got plenty of compliments and felt like the best dressed person there. Wish I could buy this to keep forever! Will definitely be trying more dresses by this designer. 

Perfect midi length, the lace cutouts were a perfect distraction from my walking boot, and the high neck/cap sleeves are an elegant/modest touch if the event calls for it. Agree with others—this is not a dancing dress as you can’t lift your arms up. Full skirt and high waist comfortably hide the stomach/hips of those are areas of concern while defining a waist. Would 100% recommend!

Aesthetically, the dress is divine. I wore a size 4- would’ve liked to go up a size but it was unavailable. It was stiff around the arms and neck but I got thru the night just fine. Gorgeous detailed laced dress. 

This dress couldn’t be more of a class act. Timeless, truly. I felt beautiful wearing it while officiating my cousin’s wedding! 

I loved this dress and I still do, but it was a little too tight on me and I could not lift up my arms at all. The material does not stretch so I just felt as though I would be uncomfortable trying to dance at a wedding. 

This fit perfectly and I received a ton of compliments all night! I love the look of this dress! The only one minor thing is the sleeves are a little restricting, so I couldn’t raise my arms up high but that didn’t bother me. I did have my husband help buckle my shoes because I couldn’t reach them in the dress but that is the only negative. I would definitely rent this dress again, I’m even contemplating purchasing it!

It was a little tight in the shoulders/chest (I have broad shoulders), but I did not feel uncomfortable. Being short, I ordered understanding that the length would be longer than intended; it hit perfectly at my ankles. I got a ton of compliments and would rent again or similar style; felt comfortable and confident all evening. 

The dress was so flattering and elegant. It was perfect for the gala my husband went to. I received so many compliments! My only criticism is that the neck was a little tight. I did need to size up to a size 4.Other than that I highly recommend! 

Fit like a glove! My Facebook post had over 10 compliments on the dress. Photographed beautifully too

Loved the dress but was a little tight in the neck! Great dress to twirl in!

I wore this dress to a wedding and loved it. It was so comfy and fit great in all the right places. My only compliant was it was snug on the arms but wasn’t to uncomfortable. I would definitely wear this dress again! 

The length on my 5’9” frame was spot on for mid-calf. The dress accentuated my waist and shoulders, which is exactly what I wanted. There wasn’t that much difference between the 10 and the 12, so I went with the 12 for a bit more comfort for dancing. I paired it with red suede pumps for a splash of color. 

This dress is absolutely beautiful!  I received many compliments! The fit was very comfortable. The fabric was heavier than I thought it would be, but perfect for a fall wedding.  Would rent again!

You will need a friend to help you do it up as you don’t have great arm mobility but it’s worth it.

I was able to wear my normal black bra, perfect for a large chest. A little heavier material than anticipated. Would rent again for comfort and classic-ness.

Sleeves were a little tight, but quickly forgot about them. Love this dress!!

I LOVED this dress. I'm typically a solid 18 R but went with the only size left and even then this was slightly tight in the arms and neck. Thankfully I didn't need to do any dancing. I got so many compliments on this and just loved how I felt overall. Would buy this if I could, one of those dresses that really makes you feel beautiful. Definitely runs small though!

I loved this dress. The 6r fit me a little better but the arms were too tight for an entire evening so I went with the bigger size for comfort. It was longer than I expected but still a good length. I opted for a sticky bra since I went with the bigger size. I really liked this dress. 

Great dress for an outdoor wedding. The cutouts helped keep me cool but I didn't feel exposed. No stretch in the shoulder area since it's the lace so I was glad to have the larger size for more movement while dancing. Overall heavy, high quality material. Would definitely rent this one again. 

Beautifully detailed dress, perfect for a black tie wedding. I'm 5'10" and a size 8 and this fit perfectly. The collar was a little snug around the neck, but since I wore my hair down, I unzipped it just a little at the very top to loosen it. It's classy and stylish! 

It was a little tight in the neck and chest but had room in the bust (which feels like an odd combo but it gives you not enough room in the rib cage area for the cup size, in my opinion. It feels like a bra band size of maybe ~ 32). It wasn't too uncomfortable though, and you start to forget about the snugness after a minute. Got tons of compliments! Loved this dress. Wish I owned it!

I absolutely love this dress, however I gave it 4 stars because I couldn't lift my arms past my shoulders. The dress fit perfectly everywhere else, but was snug on top. I do have broad shoulders, so that could be it.
