Great fit, amazing quality, the pictures don't do it justice.  It's a gorgeous dress!!!

The fabric is a bit stiff in that you look like a walking column but for the black tie wedding I went to, it was perfect. The neck can be scratchy if you think about it too much but after 3 hours of dancing at a wedding, I honestly didn’t notice it much. I used fashion tape to keep the sides in place otherwise it would have been VERY revealing.

Only critique would be the amount of side boob action i had, and my sticky boob tape was not the best. However, length and fit of the dress was perfect. Beautiful shimmer of black color in person!

This is a great simple black dress that will catch eyes. The issue I had was the Med was too tight in the hips but it at the top but the large that I wore fit perfectly in the hips but too big in the top. Also, Boob Tape and Material tape are a MUST! The sides of the dress drop low so you have to tape yourself in. I would not order this specific dress again but it was great and I had a lot of compliments 

brassybra&#39;s &amp; bring it up work much better then your silcone adhesive things. There are a lot more options out there that are not uncomfortable, I have F cups and the two items I mentioned work really really well

On balance, not a bad experience for needing something last minute for a black tie event in the middle of the holiday party season. This dress is supremely comfortable from the natural waist, down, and was the perfect length with 3" heels (I'm 5'9"). It is a heavier fabric, with some give, so it worked nicely for a winter event. The top was tricky, though: after about two hours, the collar (for lack of a better word) started to rub against my collar bone and, with the sparkles, left a bit of a mark and did not feel so great. Then, there is the true miracle of silicone and adhesive that I needed to limit the the "show" to simple side boob and not a full-on nip slip. If you (a) need to do any substantial bending or twisting and/or are averse to showing some side-boob and (b) have the need for any more support than pasties, this is not the dress for you. If you typically need some support for your chest and you love the look of this dress, go ahead and order some silicone adhesive things when you order this dress. Note that *anything* with side wings will show. While I'm here to tell you that wearing adhesive cups with wings in reverse does actually work because of how this dress is cut (turns out you *can* hide a pile of silicone and adhesive in the middle of your chest), it's just not comfortable for long periods. This is from someone who is no stranger to adhesive bras, given my set of Ds and appreciation for unconventional necklines, but I was done after three hours with that configuration. Again, this dress saved the day given the short notice of a black tie event, but it did require some engineering to make sure I got out of there with my dignity in tact. Thank heavens it was a more subdued event because there is no way said engineering would have held up on the dance floor.

Beautiful silhouette, but as other reviewers have mentioned, it’s a bit too open on the side for my comfort. 

The dress fit great and looked amazing! It just is very low cut on the sides and you will have side boob showing! But other than that, I loved the dress!

Rented for a black tie wedding. Beautiful column dress, hella side boob (and I'm a 34 A). I probably would not wear again.. obviously wore with dress tape

If you have bigger breasts they will be spilling out on either side of the dress. I had to use tape to bring my breasts in but other than that the dress is very black tie and looks classy on.

Fit true to size, put 3-4 inch heels on and had a great night! I think I ended up in the sm? But it may honestly have been the xs…
Paired it with a short fur wrap.

The side of the dress may be a bit revealing; problem easily solved with using Jomi Body Glue!!

Fit beautifully. Very comfortable dress especially for a winter event. 

Did not wear but tried it on. Looks great 

I have a scar on the side of one breast, and with the cut, enough side boob was visible to see it. You could probably use double sided tape to make it stay in place. But I didnt want to deal with worrying about that. 

The dress is very flattering and I didn't need to suck in all night, which was nice. The only thing I will say is that the halter cuts up pretty tightly on the chest, which exposes a significant amount of side boob. I'm heavier chested and no amount of boob tape could keep my puppies in. It worked just fine, but just a heads up for anyone else with a similar body style or doesn't want to show side boob for a work event.

The neck fabric was scratchy and left a mark after wearing all night. Dress looked great though 

This dress is stunning. It fit very well from the waist down. The breast area of the dress was too narrow and I am only a 34C. I was constantly tugging at it to stay covered. It was annoying. I used breast pads so only the breast pads showed sometimes, which was not elegant. I really wish it fitted better in the breast area.

This dress was really pretty but gave a lot of side boob. For someone who is small chested, the only way I could have made this work is with fabric tape to hold it in place. Otherwise, there was quite a bit of flashing with little to no movement. 

The gown fit perfectly on every area except for the top where it was very loose. Overall I’m typically a size medium, and this size fit very well. It was perfect for my formal wedding event. 

nice dress, did not wear.  The side opening does come almost all the way down to your waist.  So it has a lot of side exposure!

It fits nicely around the waist, but runs a little large in the bust. I am a 36B, and think if the girls had a little more support it might fit better.

This dress was simple, and elegant, but it ran big on me .  It would have looked better if it had fit me snuggly in the waist. If you are normally a small, order an XS.  This was a regular length size and the dress was about 5" too long. I tacked up the hem for the occasion, but it was still difficult to walk in without holding up. 

This looked very pretty online and I thought it’d be great for our PTO Gala. I was an 8 but had just started working out again after my Covid hiatus, so my body wasn’t in the best shape and I’m only 5’4”. The dress didn’t fit me right but that’s not the dress’s fault. I didn’t love it in-person either, so I might not have worn it even if it fit. I ordered quite a few dresses but none of them worked either because my sizing was off or I didn’t like the fabric.  Giving it 3-stars since it might work for someone, but I ordered this in Dec 2022 and it’s now Dec 2023. I don’t quite remember the fit on this one like a few others I ordered at the same time last year.

I am petite so the dress was WAY too long and the size itself, I was drowning in it! 

I read reviews and went up a size to fit my bust but didn’t need to because then it was way to big. 

I am 6'0" tall and it was too short for me to wear even with kitten heels. Very sexy, sophisticated design, just wish it was a little longer! 

I am 5'10" 143lb and i wore a size medium. (8) It was true to size and fit well i just didn't feel like the dress was fun enough. I ended up not wearing it.

I wanted to love this dress. The proportions were just so off. Tight around the legs and waste, but way too much fabric on the top. I couldn’t wear this dress to my event because the side boob was way too much and the fabric on top was not flattering. 

This dress was huge in the waist and hips but there was barely any fabric across the chest.  I could not wear it because it was so revealing on the side.

I ordered this dress for a black tie wedding as a backup option. I wanted to love it as this neckline style is one I typically gravitate towards, however this dress is cut so that the side boob is very noticeable. While my bust measures 40c at a size 8, after losing 100 lbs and having had a baby, the side boob that was actually showing was not as attractive as I had hoped it would be (lol) and would not have felt comfortable dancing all night in it without fear of pulling a Janet Jackson move in front of the wedding guests. I also did not expect the material to be as stuff and glittery looking as it was. 

Top is cut very strange so the arm holes come in wayyy to close to your chest. Would not feel comfortable wearing in public. Also the waist was very large as well in my usual size. 

This dress is beautiful.  It was a bit too long for me, even in heels.  I am 5’3.

Liked this dress. Only issue was it was too long for the shoes I had. Side boob is a thing but it wasn't that big of a deal.
