I am normally a size 4 (I am 5’6” and 130lbs), but the size 6 fit me perfectly!

I loved this dress so much. It was beyond perfect for the event I went to and fit like a GLOVE. The length just skimmed the floor and I'm 5'2 and 115 pounds. I also wore like 3 inch heels and it was beyond perfect. I rented the size 4!

This dress was dreamy! Took professional photos and it was amazing. Was a little difficult to zip, but we got it. Only thing that would have made it better would have been pockets! Usually a 6 but wore an 8 in this dress. 

This dress is well made! I’m normally a size 4-6 but smaller on top and I wore this in an 8 and the zipper closed just right. Got many compliments. Recommend!

I usually wear an 8 or 10, but went with the 12, so it does run one size too small. The dress was much longer than I expected, but I loved it! I’m 5’4 and it nearly hit the floor. No pockets. I’ve never been more complimented in my life!

This dress was so amazing to wear! I got so many compliments. There is so much internal structure in this dress, I didn’t require a bra.  I usually wear a size 8. I wore a 12 in this dress. It looks tea length on the model in the pic, but it was full length on me. 


 I ordered my size and then one  size up. I'm not sure if it was just me, but my normal size  was so tight in the rib cage that I could not zip it, thank God I had the back up in the next size. This beautiful dress was impeccably made. I felt wonderful in it and I got complemented all night long. It  just screamed couture.

At least six complete strangers pulled me aside at this black-tie event to tell me I had the most beautiful dress there. Despite its volume (the crinoline is voluminous!), the dress is very comfortable to wear. It is incredibly well made, with internal boning and support such that I didn’t need a bra, but still felt completely secure, even while dancing. I ordered the 10 and 12 and wore the 12. It was a bit loose, but I have a very broad back and the 10 would not zip. Note that it is not floor length.

I don't think that I have ever had more compliments on something that I've worn in my life. Weight of dress is notable as there are 3 layers, the slip-like layer, the middle layer which is a crinoline-like layer that gives it shape. When you receive, I recommend hanging right away as this layer was bunched a bit funny when I unpacked it; the 3rd/top layer is the fabric of the dress. Despite its weight, it breathes and hangs just perfectly. Initially, I struggled to determine which size to order as there were no garment measurements available. I did use a strapless, backless 'cutlet' bra that did well to keep the top flush with my skin. There is a layer of support with a hook built into the bodice so for others it may not be necessary to go with a bra. The only sad part of the dress was that there were no pockets or they were sewn shut. Definitely not a deal breaker.
