Classes and elegant .. super comfy dress.. i didn’t even try the size two on.. the zipper was alittle slicky so brought both just in case one zipper failed. 
Low cut if that is a problem don’t rent. 

I was able to make this dress work and look relatively nice, but it wasn't without a lot of effort/help from others. 
1. The straps are extremely long, which means they were falling down and causing the bust part to fall off completely. After a few near-slips, I had to ask a worker at the wedding venue for help sewing the straps shorter. Even then, I had to hold my hands over my chest while dancing so I wouldn't be exposed.
2. I tried 2 sizes and the zipper was defective on both of them. The first time I tried it on, it zipped up just fine but the zipper went slightly off track when I tried to unzip. I was stuck in the dress for an hour. I thought I'd have to either cut it off of my body or sleep in it/go to work in it the next day. Thankfully it eventually came off and I figured out that you just have to zip it back up and down a bunch if it gets stuck.
I wore a 14 which is unusual for me, I'm usually a 10-12 but this runs small. Even the 14 was a little snug. Overall, this dress ended up being pretty and somewhat appropriate for a very traditional/religious black tie wedding. 

Oofff, this was definitely a miss. On the first two I ordered, the zipper got stuck at a seam in the back. Both on and off, the zipper just kept getting stuck. They sent a replacement promptly, but that zipper was only slightly better. 
The top of the dress was way too big. I swear my boobs came out probably 3 times during the night. Luckily someone had a temporary stitch gun with them and helped me out. 
Unless you’re blessed with a heavy chest, I do not recommend this dress. 

I’ll usually wear a 6, ended up returning the 6 and getting an 8 and it was still extremely tight and I felt like I would break it. I’m usually a Medium/6 for bottoms. The top part fit beautifully with the 6 and was too loose with the 8. Not curvy girl friendly.

This was my backup dress and I loved it more than my first choice once I put it on. It was so comfortable and fit like a glove! The picture doesn’t show this, but there is a pretty high slit just past the knee. My bust is a 36DD and I had no issues with gaping or everything “falling out.” I could’ve danced all night in this dress, it was so comfortable and flattering.

I ordered this dress as a replacement for an original order and I really love the fit and how it looks.  For me being a bit more curvy in the hips and chest I felt like the coverage was lacking so I would suggest size up if you have a similar body type.  When I sit I had to make sure there was a napkin covering my lap or everyone would of seen way too high up lol

The lining was a tiny bit tight through the hips, and when I sat the slit got close to turning into a peep show - but otherwise the dress was perfect. 

Fit well and got lots of compliments! The only struggle I had was the thigh high slit and that was only sometimes and probably because I rarely ever wear things like this and didn’t know how to function! Overall it was a great dress for the occasion!

Fit is high around the armpits and bust was a little big. I’m an A cup and it felt more like a B/C cup. Overall lovely dress.

I normally wear a 16 but size up in dresses so I ordered the 18 & 20 in this dress. I'm about 5'9" and about 205 pounds with a pretty large chest. I was swimming in the 20 so I went with the 18. The straps were super loose so I had to use fashion tape to make it through dinner. I also didn't love the wiring on the side of my ribs, it made the dress feel a bit boxy/to structured. But it looked great and there was plenty of room to tear up the dance floor! 

Comfortable top fit. Easy to get into. Flowy bottom. 

The fit was perfect, except bust was a little large. I had a shawl which made it work.
Loved the gown- simple but elegant.

This dress was more low-cut than I am typically in for. While it probably would have been OK, I would not have been comfortable all night with the cut that low. As a result I did do some tacking up of the neckline to help minimize the cut a bit and was happy with the results. (First pic is in-home with the lower cut, the 2nd and 3rd pics are after tacking)
The front slit is very high, so be wary of that if you're wearing an undergarment that goes down your thighs. The fit of the sheath under the chiffon was a bit snug for my bigger hips, but it wasn't uncomfortable. The shirred waist and flow of the chiffon was very forgiving in looks, but I will say the zipper was a little challenging in the waist area. All in all, it was a successful rental for my event. 

I loved everything about this dress and received so many compliments all night long. I did have to pull up the straps several times because they were a little loose, but other than that I had no problems. I felt pretty and was comfortable all night. 

Gorgeous dress!  Was concerned about the plunge in the busy area due to me having breast cancer surgery.  I used safety pins & it shortened the plunge and made it  perfect!  Loved the style & color!  I got loads of compliments!

Fit a little loose on the top but overall was a perfect fit 

The dress was flattering but runs a little small. The slight is quite high on the dress, too high for my liking but you can only see it when sitting down. 

Wore this to a fancy office holiday party and received many compliments. Loved the plunging back and the neckline (though I had to secure it with a safety pin because I'm small-chested). Love the surprise leg slit. The boning in the dress was flattering without feeling too constrained. I was able to dance and eat in it!

Loved this dress! I did need to use fashion tape for the chest area but other than that it was a great fit and I got tons of compliments! 

Fit was great, no spanx required. I'm 5'9 and had flats on and it barely touched the ground so tall girls beware. Can't wear a bra with it so I used a few safety pins to tighten things up. It's definitely revealing between the low cut top and slit but I figured why not embrace it, especially after all the compliments I got! 

Loved how it fit my body and was great dancing in it. Very comfortable. I did have to safety pin and tape my bust because I was falling out. Definitely would size up for this designer. 

The zipper was a bit difficult to maneuver. The dress is very form fitting through the torso and large on top. I had to pin the top ad I felt it was a little to big and my breast were falling out. It was an easy fix. I did love how the dress was slim fitting. 

I ordered a 22 which is my normal. It was a little big on top which is normal for me, but it was so tight on my tummy and hips that I couldn't sit down. The dress looks like it flows nicely, but on the inside it's a straight liner that's very restrictive. For plus size, if you've got the chest I would recommend ordering a size up. I ended up not wearing this dress even though I thought it looked great. 

I received a lot of compliments on this dress. It was comfy. I wear 14/6 but the 16 for best. 
There is quite a bit of cleavage so I used one safety pin for more modesty. I am a large DDD or F, no bra was needed for the dress. Also the slit in the dress underneath the top layer is pretty high which was only a problem when I sat down. Lastly the zipper was tough to zip up (just the last 2-3 inches). 

The bust was too big and I had to use A LOT of dress tape to keep it in place. I didn't realize how high the slit in the leg went up either. Overall, beautiful dress!

I ended up wearing the larger size of the dress that I ordered.  The dress was beautiful and such an amazing quality!  I will say that looking at the dress in the picture online, it appears to be a flowy-type dress, when in actuality it's form fitting with a cascading cape-style fabric over it.  The slit in the tight fitting portion of the dress is very high, so if you're not a fan of high slits, then this dress is not for you.  The dress is also very, very low-cut.  I'm self-conscious about low-cut things and was very uncomfortable all night long.  I received many compliments on the dress, but they were all from men who couldn't stop staring at my cleavage.  

The dress is gorgeous but it was really uncomfortable and fit very weird. The bodice was snug, which was a surprise since I don't have a large chest. You can wear it without a bra  (score!). The slit in the leg was SUPER high. Combine that with a short slip underneath, you are pretty exposed if you're not careful when you're sitting down. Thankfully I was at a dinner table and had a napkin to cover it for the majority of the time. As nice as it looked, I would not wear again since it was such a chore to take care of sitting down. 

I love this lovely gown by WATTERS! Running true to size with no stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and loose at the hips. It works for cup A-C sizes. You are not able to wear a standard bra with this dress so you should wear nubra or no bra since there is an open back. At 5’4”, the length hit floor length on me. The color of the dress is beautiful in person and the hidden split make it unique. Pair with nude, metallic, or black heels and fun earrings to complete your outfit!

Understated but eye catching, this dress was perfect for a gala. Fair warning: there's a HIGH leg slit I didn't catch in the photos. It was fine for sitting at a table with a napkin in my lap, but I'd be careful sitting in this number without some cover!  Overall, great dress. Would rent again.

I purchased several dresses for this Mardi Gras Ball but decided to go with something a little more fitting . My first time ever wearing this style of dress and I will definitely wear it more often. It was flattering and forgiving. I am a 38 G -40 H and I pulled this off with NO Bra. I had to be aware of the "girls" but it was good fit. I wore  a smoothing undergarment (no waist trainer) and 3 inch heels. It dragged a little but it wasn't annoying. The split is pronounced if its windy or a  fan is blowing but just walking, your legs aren't exposed. I wouldn't wear this dress in church without a jacket because its low cut but at a reception it's a head turner. (as you can see in the second pic)  I am definitely going to buy this label in the future.

Adhesive bra is a must. Was happy to not have to wear spanx as the bottle was flowy enough 

Fit well through waist and length (I'm 5'6''), if not a little snug...but quite large in chest...needed a lot of fashion tape to make sure it didn't fall down throughout the night!

I wore the dress to my husband's work holiday party. The dress was a backup when I couldn't zip up my original order. I felt beautiful in the dress though. 

I have a shorter torso, so the straps were a little long. I typically wear somewhere between a 4 and a 6. The top of the six was to big and the 4 was a bit snug, so I went for the 4. Even though it was snug, it pulled in all the right places, I didn't even need to wear Spanx. I had to wear slightly taller shoes than I would have liked, but the dress was beautiful. 

I wore this to my law firm's holiday party ("formal attire encouraged"), and got loads of compliments.  I'm 5'5" and wore low heels (~2") and it was the perfect length.  It was also a great navy color with white earrings and nude heels.  I feel like you could dress this up or down depending on the type and color of jewelry because it's very simple and elegant.  My only complaint is that I had to keep *extremely* good posture all night to keep the straps up.  My torso may be shorter than these straps were intended for.  Without pulling my shoulder blades back, my cleavage was insane.  I'm also a DD cup size though, and it still fit on my chest, so overall it was a win!  I think a smaller-chested person may have better luck with the straps.
