Best dressed in the room! The bow is a statement! Do it, rent it!it’s been my favorite rental for a formal affair. 

Stretchy velvet material made the dress very comfortable but the design looks so timeless. I wore it out for my birthday in Paris. Highly recommend for a party, wedding, or special date night.

I ordered the 10 and 12 and felt a tad more comfortable in the 12, but the 10 fit more securely in the top.  If I was bigger busted, I definitely would have gone with the 12.  The dress fit beautifully and I got so many compliments!

I was a little nervous about renting this dress however it was perfect for the event. The dress is beautiful and has such a simple but stunning design. I received a lot of compliments and would love to add this permanently to my wardrobe. I would recommend that you get double-sided tape or cups to keep the bust in place the bow weighs it down just a little. The velvet skirt is light. I was nervous that it would be too heavy and not fit the occasion considering that it's summer here in Texas. 

Loved this so so much! Rented for a black tie restaurant on a cruise and it was perfect! Loved this and wanted to keep it will probably end up buying it at some point! I sized down due to the bow being heavy and it fit perfect I didn’t feel like I was pulling it up at all. 

Fits right. Hugs curves. Wore for New Year’s Eve party and made a statement. Dressy.

Such a perfect fall/winter wedding guest dress. So many compliments all night 🤩classy and so fun to wear!! 4 fit perfectly, didn’t even need to try on the 2, though happy I had it as a back up! There’s support built in so bra wasn’t necessary. It is strapless, so picking it up every so often is to be expected! 10/10

I got sooo many compliments on this dress. I wore it to a formal event and it was super comfortable, moveable, and looks great in picture! I normally wear a 12/14 but the 16 fit perfectly 

I wore this for my birthday dinner and felt like a queen. I paired it with black long gloves and a blinged out choker for a sassy and sexy look. 

Super cute! I looked like the perfect present lol. I got a 6 but I could’ve gotten a 4 for a tighter look. It was fine though. 

My daughter wore this one for her senior winter formal. The top runs large but the body of it is stretchy. She is pear-shaped and athletically built. We used fashion tape to hold the top but the bow is really heavy (but cute!). Body is velvet. The bow is a shiny crepe. She is 5’7”, 135 for reference. 

I normally wear a size 4 or 6. The 6 fit well (didn’t even try on the 4) Just a tad tight in the bust area which I prefer given it is a sleeveless dress. I felt secure without being restricted. Also not much stretch in the body of the dress which I didn’t need as I’m smaller on the bottom. Overall would definitively recommend given its’ classic & elegant look, fit, and feel. 

So chic and fit great! Very flattering - love the velvet

This dress was a so cute and so comfortable! It’s made of stretchy velvet. Usually I do not like sheath dresses since I have full hips, but the stretch did it’s job here- I walked and danced comfortably all night. 
I read people had issues with it slipping down, I wore a strapless push-up bra and did not have many issues.

The bow is big so my husband and I had some laughs trying to dance together- we couldn’t get close, but it’s worth it for this dress. Can’t wait to rent it again 

Absolutely gorgeous dress & fit - however, for a wedding in New Orleans in July, I should have read the material description. Just a heads up, this gorgeous dress is velvet lol. But highly recommend!!

This was a beautiful dress. Has boning and lining to help hold things together and shapewear made it perfect. If you have a larger bust, consider sizing up. I was TUCKED into this thing, but at least I never worried about it falling down since it was tight. Loved wearing it, love it in photographs, loved the compliments. 

I wore this dress to the SF symphony and wanted something different. I absolutely loved the dress and the bow detail was perfect.  I do wish it was a little shorter length wise but I am also only 5'2".  Would definitely recommend this dress and fit like a glove! 

I got so many compliments! The dress is stretchy so you can get away with a bit of a smaller size if you prefer. I'm a 32C and I had to wear a push-up because it was just a wee surprise bit large in the bust for me. I recommend this completely.

Such a gorgeous dress but get normal size or size down especially if you don't have big boobs. I will have to get tape so the top doesn't ride down bc the bow pulls it down a bit 

The dress is definitely true to size. You'll receive so many compliments with this dress. It's the perfect statement dress that isn't over the top. 

Head turner...statement dress. Received a lot of compliments. The dress itself is stretchy and has boning on the top so it doesn't slide down. Felt very secure. 

The bow was floppy on one side and had to be pinned but no problem 

I was originally going to wear the size 8 because 6 felt more tight. But on the day of, I was afraid the 8 was going to slip down because of the weight of the bow and it was a bit loose on top. I went with the 6 and it was perfect!! (See picture) The velvet fabric is very flattering so it hides a lot of perfections and is stretchy for that food baby. ;) 


It was a beautiful dress and fit perfectly I cried when I had to ship it back love this dress highly recommended 

When I went to rent this dress, my usual size 10 wasn't available. I took the risk, ordered the 8, and pulled out my tightest spanks. Even though it was definitely too small, the velvet has a good bit of stretch in the skirt. There is boning in the top that was quite uncomfortable, but ultimately the discomfort was worth wearing this very cute dress. 

This dress is everything I never knew I needed! I had a black and gold cocktail event, at first I was iffy about it, but when I got it in the mail - I was floored. Yes, the bow is big - but I think that's what makes the dress. I received compliments all night long and I felt like a million bucks! I ordered a 12 and 14, but opted for the bigger size because I'm a little chesty and felt more comfortable in it. There are spines in the chest area to keep the girls in place. 

Absolutely stunning gown. Very comfortable and stylish. Fit me like a glove. 

I am obsessed with this dress, and hated to send it back. The fit was perfect, the bow was flattering and held up (I was scared it might be droopy because of travel). One of the best rentals I've ever had! Do it, do it now! 

Such a cute dress! I loved it, the bow is a little big but I just pinned them back and it was perfect :)

I wore this dress for my 30th 80s theme birthday party. It was a hit! I received so many compliments. It was super comfortable and stretchy. The bow detail was such a cute touch. It fit true to size.

I ordered this as a back up for a New Year's Eve dress and wow I am so glad that I did! I am 5'8" and weigh 135 pounds. So the giant bow was more in proportion to my body. I got so many compliments, I can't even tell you! The bodice was tight but that meant I wasn't pulling it up all night. The length was weird. It needed to be either longer or shorter. But the top was so cute I just had to go with it! If you rent it, wear it with confidence! 

I loved this dress so much! I wore an 8, I'm about 5'6, a 34C, and 140 pounds. It was beautiful on and the big bow was the best part. It felt a little snug through the ribs but overall was a great fit!! I loved it and so did everyone else!

I wore it for a performance and I got so many compliments!! Definitely renting this one again.

This Dress was Unforgettable!!! The fit was true to size, the velvet touch was smooth and very body shaping flattering. Bow was perfect, not too overwhelming! Show up in the dress and show Out!!! 

This dress was a head turner! I wore it to a holiday party and received numerous compliments. I sized up one and it fit perfectly. It has boning around the midsection and is very comfortable. The material is nice and the bow sets it off. Highly recommend!

This dress was everything and more!  Classic with a bit of fun. I loved the big bow. It fit wonderfully. I would def tell everyone to rent this dress. 

Got so many compliments on this dress and it was so comfortable! I usually wear a 6 but a 4 probably would have been better in this. 

This dress was so stunning and a subtle showstopper, perfect for a nice wedding! I loved this dress, but as others commented it is too heavy so you will have to pull it up throughout the night (maybe use some tape too).

Loved. Stretched but did have to work myself into and frequently pull up to make sure I stayed in it but I am busty (34dd)

This dress was so flattering and comfortable for dancing the night away at a wedding. I received so many compliments on this dress. 

Loved this dress, worn to a formal summer wedding. I probably could’ve gotten away with a size down but this still worked. The bow held up surprisingly well. 

Wore this dress to a wedding and received so many compliments. The bow is bold and gorgeous! Overall an amazing purchase in terms of look/style. Absolutely loved it! 

This giant bow made my whole month! I got to sing at an 80s prom and this dress was my first choice. It took my husband and my best friend to get me zipped up but we did it. 

Fabulous dress and I received tons of compliments. Provides good support and did not need to wear a bra. 

I wore this to a party at the French Embassy and got so many compliments! It was comfortable and easy to wear!! The 6 fit but was too tight on my chest so I wore the 8

Best NYE dress for my 6 month bump. Sized up 2 sizes for a comfy fit. 

Wore this for Christmas Eve. I’m usually a 4/6. After reading reviews I saw it ran big so I got both size 4 and 2. I actually ended up wearing the 2! So it runs big. Felt like I was in a Kardashian Christmas Eve party, I LOVED it. 

Rented for the holiday season and would have bought this dress if I led a more interesting life with fancy events that could justify it lol. Only downside was the bow is quite heavy and can pull down the front of the dress so be careful!

This dress stole the show. I felt so confident and received compliments all night long. Would 1000% recommend. I have a smaller chest so it was just a bit big in that area, but nothing some double sided tape couldn’t fix…otherwise fit great!

This dress was so gorgeous and classy! I wore it to a girls night Christmas Dinner and it did not disappoint. I’m normally an 8 but got a size 10 for backup and went with that one. It fit perfect but was tight in the chest area because of the boning. I’m around 155lbs, 5’4 and a 34DDD. It was tight in the top at first but stretched out enough to be more comfortable the rest of the night. So many compliments! I seriously didn’t want to send it back. I also rented the purse pictures and wore red heels. ♥️

Great holiday dress! Wore it to a Christmas theme party.. got was on point and true to size.. 

It was so cute I wanted to wear it but the top area kept falling down even with a size 4 since my chest didn’t fill it out. I’d only rent if you have boobs! 

Super fun dress! Received lots of compliments all night. It fit well on the body but I was pulling the bust up all night. Other than that I really liked it!

This is such a fun dress! Fit true to size. I didn’t have any problems with the bow, it stayed in place. 

I wore this dress to a spring wedding. I was hesitant to get it because it was black. However I got lots of compliments at 32 weeks pregnant. 

The bow is a such a statement! It was snug but the dress is stretchy and it wasn’t uncomfortable. I feel like the 8 would’ve been falling down all night so I appreciated the snugness. 

I wore this to a “billionaire’s ball” murder mystery party and received SO MANY compliments! The only issue is that the boning stuck out and poked me right in the ribs. I ended up trying to cover them up with fashion tape, but it was still pretty uncomfortable.

Love the fit, but I need body tape to keep the bow from pulling down the dress.

Super cute and funky! Only think was the bow is really heavy and I don’t have the cleavage to hold it up so I added some ribbon as a halter top of sorts to keep it up. Got soooo many compliments!

The bow is somewhat obnoxious but I didn’t mind as it was for my bday dinner. Really surprised that the size 2 fit. Im hippy but the material stretches nicely. A 4 would have been fine but the 6 was wayyyyy too big. Would suggest you size down for smaller bust, that seems to be the main difference as far as size. 

Wore this to an 80s prom. Everyone loved the bow. The fabric on the dress is stretchy and the dress fits c-d cups well. 

This was easily my most favorite dress to ever wear besides my own wedding dress. It hurt my heart to send it back so I ended up buying it. I did buy a size down as the 14 wasn’t available. However, the top was a little loose when I wore the 14 and I’ve been losing weight. So I’m thinking the 12 will still work. ☺️
