Not sure if this would work for larger busts, it was a tad snug in the bustier, but otherwise it fit well and received lots of compliments!

Felt very elegant in this dress and was a perfect look for a formal gala I was attending. I am 5'7 and the regular worked for me with shorter heels. The dress has some flecks of sparkle in it. Subtle and not overwhelming. Very happy with my selection. 

I wish I had more time and could have ordered a size down to see how that felt, but the store only had a 6 (my event was the next night) and the bottom was really big on me, but the top fit well. 

The color is beautiful, and the fabric has a quality texture. 

The fabric of this dress is stunning, even prettier in person than it is in pictures -- a metallic shimmering red with beautiful textures. It was shockingly comfortable to wear (no bra + spanx) and has pockets (WIN!). I got tons of compliments.

My only recommendation/word of warning is for women who are only the less-busty side. In other user photos, I can see that women with bigger boobs fill out this dress way better than those who don't. Because of the deep V in the front and the low back, it's hard to do much in the way of padding. I'm a 34B on a good day and I sized down knowing that it might be an issue. It wasn't an issue, but I was one dramatic bend away from a nip slip and the chest area felt a little... roomy. So if, like me, you aren't gifted in the bosom department, either size down on your backup, or consider another dress.

This dress was a blast too wear yet it will show some chest if you are larger.  I wore tape so there would nit be a slip haha.  It was comfortable, gave an awesome silhouette and photographed well.  

The illusion front made the dress comfortable and completely appropriate for a formal winter wedding. I loved the thick fabric for December. I am 5’10” and wore about 2” heels, which were just barely enough to keep the dress off the ground. 

Dress does not have any stretch but is so elegant on. Very thick, textured fabric. It's simply beautiful!

The color was absolutely stunning! I loved the dress and the illusion neckline. It was comfortable and very flattering. Would highly recommend! 

This dress is a beautiful color with a bit of sheen to it. The fabric is very sturdy, to the point where I didn't need to wear any kind of bra or support with it. The fabric is also very wrinkle-resistant. I wore the dress for a work event, and it was a bit too low-cut, so I used removable fashion tape to attach a small piece of black fabric under the mesh to provide a bit more coverage. I am 5'2" and wore 4" heels and the regular was about 3.5" too long (had to use more fashion tape to do a temporary hem). Oh, and IT HAS POCKETS that were big enough to fit my phone. 

I LOVE this dress and will definitely rent it again.  I could have squeezed myself into a 4 if I absolutely had to, but the 6 was a perfect fit and was super comfy even while sitting and eating.  And, pockets!

This dress was so comfortable and very pretty color. I went without a bra because the plunging neckline was too low however the material is thick enough I didn't feel exposed.

This dress was perfect. Both the 4 and the 2 fit, but the smaller size hugged my body just perfectly. I didn't wear and bra and had no problems with coverage or worrying something might show. I'm a 32D. The length was great to wear with heels and I'm 5'4.75". The dress was also very comfortable and fairly light weight, which made it great for a south Texas event. I would definitely rent this dress again! I didn't want to send it back! 

Great black tie option that offers some color! I'm 5'10" and wore 3inch heels and the length was just an inch or so off the floor. Very comfortable and elegant dress. The color and design are beautiful in person. Pockets are always a winner! The sheer front is pretty and not too showy although beware of tan lines! I wore a v neck jumpsuit the day before and my burn/tan showed through. Highly recommended. 

It fit absolutely perfect, true to size and I chose to go braless because it fit so well. I'm a 36D so I'd purchased a bra that would work with this, and even petals - but used neither. This dress is a unicorn and you should rent it!

This dress is one way to do a plunging neckline but still keep your look classy and stunning. I ultimately did not wear it because my other choice was more of what I wanted, but I would totally rent and wear this. I have an apple shape and the dress still zipped up around my rib cage, no problem. Was comfortable and gorgeous. Definitely rent if you're considering! 

This dress made me feel incredible. I was so sad when I had to send it back. I got so many compliments on how beautiful this dress is. It was great that it was big enough in the chest to be comfortable while also tight enough that I wasn't worried about anything slipping out of where it was supposed to be. If you're taller than 5'7"-5'8" I would definitely recommend the long. I only needed like an inch or two heel and it was a perfect length

No bra necessary, but I wore some stick-ons to provide a little more oomph in that area :)  Fit beautifully.

This dress was a back up dress after the one I ordered was  unflattering. I couldn't have been more happy! This dress was gorgeous and fit amazing. I received compliments all evening and felt comfortable all night. 

This dress was stunning. Held you in place really well and was very flattering. The thicker material made it great for a snowy Michigan winter formal event! The only CON would be that it's pretty short. I'm 5'10-5'11. Most "longs" are perfect on me. But this one, without shoes on, ended right above the floor, so with shoes on it was about 1-2" above the ground. But the dress was so beautiful I could ignore that small detail

Gorgeous fabric, cut and color!! Many compliments all night.  And the big plus - it has pockets!!!

Gorgeous dress. Fit beautifully and I did not need to wear a bra (even though I have a large chest). I wear an 8/10 and the 10 was perfect.
 So comfortable! The fabric was beautiful and not scratchy at all; I have sensitive skin, but had no issues.
Sorry for the weird angle in the first photo; my daughter was playing photographer!
Would definitely rent it again!

The dress fit true to size, and I felt like a movie star the whole night. The mesh around the bust and neck line is stunning and the dress even had pockets!!
