Wore this to a formal event and felt so confident and sexy in it, got tons of compliments! The fit is curve-hugging, so I wore shapewear underneath for a smooth look. It’s a little fitted for dancing and sitting, but worth it for how amazing it looks in photos.

I am 5’4 and 209 lbs and the 16 worked perfectly. I had to wear a strapless bra, which was interesting since the top was a bit big and I am a 40 D. This dress was stunning and I felt so amazing in it. I highly recommend it.

I loved it! It was a little bit on the top (I am size 12 usually would prefer size 10).

I had this gown saved for such a long time and finally had a reason to rent it! I wore this for a coworker’s black tie wedding, it was perfect. I would say this dress falls between true to size and running slightly small — shape wear definitely made the 6 versus my backup size 8 the perfect fit. The 8 would’ve worked too if needed, but was roomy in the top. The embroidery is positively beautiful, I loved the natural hem at the bottom, such a neat detail. The boning in the size 6 gown I wore was poking out a little bit in some places but the shapewear helped with that too. This dress is definitely warm, the lining plus embroidered layer makes it nice and thick, in addition to boning through the bodice it stayed in place (no adjusting needed) and held me in comfortably! I added a neck scarf from Amazon and paired it with gold heels to finish the look. Absolutely loved wearing this dress! I’d get it again!

Gorgeous dress, tons of compliments, was really tight through the hips but stretched out as the night went one. The boning in the bodice did start to get a little annoying by the end of the night, but so worth it.

Great gown for black tie wedding during autumn in the mountains! Fit was a little strange - too big in the bust but definitely would have been too small in hips if I sized down. I was pulling it up all night but don’t regret getting it as it was really so beautiful and unique!

I’ve never received so many compliments on a dress. I’m a size 4 and it fit tight but just right. I’d recommend renting true to size and getting one size up as a backup.

Perfect for a formal wedding

Wore to a Kentucky Derby themed party. I got so many compliments all night. It was a little hard to sip - the corset top is very fitted - but once on, it was comfortable and really slimming.

I am a solid 8 in Calvin Klein dresses. I rented a 6 and an 8 optimistically. I should have done 8 and 10. The zipper and fabric are very unforgiving, which once on, is fine. I could not have gotten the dress zipped myself. It was very snug on my booty!!! It was loose in the bust and I wish I’d worn a bra just for volume. By the end of the night the boning was uncomfortable—-but the dress is beautiful and I got so many compliments and felt amazing!

Beautiful dress. Fit theme perfect for a Kentucky derby theme auction. Thick material. Was a bit hot while dancing ( and drinking). Six was too small glad I had the back up 8. Fits a bit tight

I normally wear a 4 but the 6 on this definitely fit better. It is tight around the hips. I am not as gifted in the chest area so I did use inserts to help fill out the top as well as tape to keep it closer to my skin (as we were sitting for a formal dinner) I added a rose flower to my hair and got so many compliments!

I might have done a smaller size but no one saw the girls, and I could move comfortably— so no harm done

i’m normally solidly a size. it was a little roomy in the chest area so i needed to pad it and use some tape to hold it up because the dress is heavy. but it’s so gorgeous, hugged my hips amazingly. so comfortable, easy to walk in (need heels not to step on the dress) and i felt like a princess. i got so many compliments. loved this dress.

Received so many compliments, and the fit was amazing. With a C cup I did not wear a bra with it, and it may be too tight in the top for ladies that are more gifted. I ordered the 4 and the 6, and wore the 6.

I got so many compliments on this dress! I will say, it was a little snug but I found it needed to be in order to keep my chest lifted. I tried the 10 as well and it had significant gapping around my chest. Overall it was beautiful and kept its shape all night!

Perfect dress for a winter wedding - thick fabric so it gets a little warm, but didn't sweat on the dance floor! I was between a 10 and 12, went with the 10 because it was newer. I have a bigger chest and stomach and no butt, but it covered up any insecure spots. Wore with 3 inch heels. Got so many compliments, I highly recommend!!

The top of the gown was a little too big but that did not take away from the stunning look. I received endless compliments about this dress. Absolutely rent it or even buy it!

Ordered size 4 and 6. Both fit but the size 4 was difficult to zip and the boning was sticking out under arm area so I wore the size 6 and it was perfect. I got so many compliments!!

So many compliments! Absolutely gorgeous, high quality fabric. Built in corset is very slimming. Had to keep pulling it up because I have a D chest but I would do it all night all over again. Highly recommend!

My only complaint is that I had to wear my back up size, 4, because the zipper of the size 2 was stuck in the middle, so the 4 was slightly big which led to me having to readjust many times. But otherwise, I received many compliments!

Probably the most beautiful dress I’ve ever worn! Comfortable, secure, flattering, well-made! I got so many compliments. From the reviews, I would’ve thought I needed a 14, but it was way too large, and the 12 fit perfectly, with a tiny bit of extra room in the chest. We went to a masquerade gala, and I found some appliqués on Amazon that perfectly matched the dress to add to my mask. I would definitely rent this dress again, and others from the same designer, because it was flawless!

It’s a mermaid fit. It’s floor length, and some of the flower pattern will hit the floor, so I’d recommend wearing heels with this dress.

Really beautiful dress but not for pear shaped or hourglass short girls, it was a struggle to get this dress over my butt/hips and it was huge in the bust. Wish it worked:(

I didn't end up wearing this because weather was too cold. The material itself is heavy and thick. But neckline leaves your chest very exposed. The boning made it (at least for me) difficult to zip. Strangely once I got it on though the dress was roomy. Still gave it 4 stars since it looked incredible on. Would be perfect for an early fall / late summer wedding.

Beautiful dress, got so many compliments. Definitely a thicker material and I will say the corset is pretty tight around the rib cage. I did have to adjust the top throughout the night due to the fit and it sliding down a little. I wore my regular size although based on reviews I thought I’d have to size up.

Love love the dress. But the bust area was too large for size 16 and the boning keeps poking me. And the zipper is tough.

I ordered this to wear to a Gala but ended up not wearing it because the fit was off. The dress is even more beautiful in person, I wish I could have worn it! However, the 4 was very snug around my stomach, butt and hips and had way too much room around my chest and back. This tightness on the lower half of the dress paired with the heavy weight of the dress made it really uncomfortable to try to walk or sit in, while the top needed constant pulling up. Sizing up would have helped with the lower half but made the top even larger.

By the end of the night the boning became pretty uncomfortable, but so cute and so many compliments.

This one fit comfortably all over however the top part was a bit big. We had to adjust it with some pins but got lots of compliments.

I have big hips and a small chest. I wore a strapless bra with chicken cutlets and it looked great. Still had to pull it up through out the night. Not sure if it was made this big up top or if it was stretched out from prior use. Either way I got so many compliments, glad i rented it !

I wish I would’ve gone 2 sizes up- the fabric is gorgeous but there is absolutely no give in this dress. Also there’s 3 layers of fabric so wouldn’t recommend in hot weather

Heavy and thick material that didn't stay up well. Did not end up wearing. Honestly can't tell if it's big or small, but did not feel good on. Got it zipped no issue but had zero support in the chest. May be a beautiful fit for a different body type.

The dress itself is gorgeous with great details but this thing was not meant for my body. I can’t even explain what it was doing on top!

Although I did not wear it, the dress is amazing. It was about two inches too long even with my 3.5-inch heels on. Therefore, I prioritized function over fashion.

Fit was great, colors popped! Used fashion tape for the sweetheart neckline.

I am usually in between a four and a six and the 6 fit just right

She was a tad loose in the waste but overall fit nicely. I have a large chest (DD) and they were definitely pouring over a tad but she is gorgeous. Lots of compliments.
