Beautiful gown for black tie reception. It is definitely long- I wore 4in heels and I have long legs and the sides were still dragging. It was the look so I didn't mind. It certainly felt long once I took my shoes off for the dance floor though!

If you have a large chest or wide rib cage, size up at least 2 sizes. Absolutely gorgeous dress 

I wore this dress 32 weeks pregnant to a formal event and loved it! The skirt cut is fun, although long on the sides, so walk carefully. The fabric flows beautifully as seen in the photo. Only thing is that I wish the bust portion was roomier. I sized up one size from my usual pre-pregnancy size and barely squeezed into the zipper. Would recommend maybe 2 sizes up if you’re looking to wear this your third trimester of pregnancy!

So many compliments on this dress. Super comfortable and fit really well.0

I had seen this exact dress/brand on revolve, but not ready to pay full price for it. I’m happy I got to try it out first for a wedding, because I am obsessed. It’s stunning and fit perfectly. 

So stunning and glamorous! Wore to a black tie wedding and received compliments all night. Would highly recommend. Two things to note — 1) The dress runs a bit on the small side. I usually take a 2 or 4, and the 6 fit perfectly. 2) One little complaint I have is that the fabric pulls a bit at the back where the zipper is because it’s not detached from the lining. It’s not super noticeable but it bothered me

So comfortable and received compliments all night. Absolutely perfect for black tie 

Wore this postpartum to a black tie wedding in Napa and it was a super hit!  

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding. The top has boning, which helped it stay up the entire night! Only callout is that it is quite long

Love this dress! Has a built in corset type of thing at the top of the dress so no need for a bra

I wish I would have gotten more photos of this dress! It was perfection- I received so many compliments, felt amazing and was so sad to send the dress back.

I didn't end up wearing this one for my event but I loved it. It looks so elegant and it's very forgiving 

I loved how flowy the gown is. The hem is an interesting high-low with the sides of the dress being longer than the center. Very nice touch. The dress also has structured boning in the bodice which was so nice. I did safety pin the inner lining of the dress to my strapless bra to help keep it up. That was a very helpful solution which saved me from pulling the dress up all night. 

Wore 32 weeks pregnant and got so many compliments!!! Beautiful dress and quality!

Would size down if you have a smaller chest but otherwise fits perfectly. Very comfortable and flattering. 

Gorgeous dress. I was between sizes so had to size up, which resulted in it falling down throughout the night. Not excessively but enough to be annoying. It is also fairly long so folks stepped on it. Aside from those little things the dress is absolutely gorgeous and I felt like a million bucks.  

The fit was great but it was a tad too long on me as 5' 2" person, even with heels on/high-low effect. The bodice is flattering, but since strapless would slip from time to time. 

Fit perfectly snug and stayed up all night thanks to internal ribbing on it. Little long even with tall heels it caught a few times but gorgeous pleating, got so many compliments. 

I wore this dress two months postpartum to a black tie event at the Ritz. I felt so beautiful and comfortable because of its free flowing style, and I still felt edgy and high fashion because of the satin pleaded material.  I have been eyeing this dress for a couple of years actually and this felt like the perfect time to wear it! I felt like 1 million bucks and I got so many compliments. I can’t recommend this stress enough! It is fitted in the bust area and then flows from there, so if you are a little bit bigger in the chest, you should probably size up, even though the dress is flowing!

May be too big for small chested gals. I am a 32C and after wearing this for a few hours, it was stretching out and fall down. Nothing too annoying, but i did find myself having to pull it up frequently. HOWEVER, i got soooo many compliments, very classy.

I wore this for a wedding at 31 weeks pregnant. Gorgeous! It’s definitely long, it’s a full on gown, and I wore short heels, but I didn’t mind- I would just hold the extra fabric walking or dancing. The short bodice inside keeps it up perfectly. I loved the flowy fit for a formal event on my bump and felt so pretty and elegant. 

For sizing- my size listed is pre-pregnancy. I’ve gone up 1-2 bra & cup sizes since pregnant, and have been sizing up 1-3 dress sizes depending on the fit (currently around 160lb). I wore the UK size 12 and it was justttt slightly big, but the way it sits I knew it wouldn’t fall down - it was so comfortable to wear literally all day. The UK size 10 was a close fit but just barely too tight. 

I don't wear heels anymore. But I love a good, LONG gown. This definitely has A LOT of material at the bottom. It does flow beautifully when you walk. The gown is very low maintenance. I wore a bandeau bra underneath & regular undies. No need for shape wear. This dress lays loosely over your body. Only shows the very top of the "ladies" and U can tuck a little more if your prefer more coverage. I'm a singer for lots of weddings, so I wear lots of gowns. I sweat & dance. This dress didn't move at all once zipped. Loved it. I'd rent again!!!

I loved wearing this dress! It was so comfortable and flowy. It is a little long, but it's a statement piece so take your time when you walk and you'll be fine! You wanna be noticed in this dress. My shoes stole the show, but I would rent this again! I'll probably size down because it was a little too big. And be careful how you stand up!! If you're on the edge of the gown, you will pull the top down and flash the room. 

I loved this dress! Felt so chic for my friend's black tie wedding in Italy. Red carpet vibes, such a special dress.

Felt absolutely wonderful wearing this. It was slightly big, but I expected this as I normally wear a US 0 and the smallest size was a US 2. 

Runs a little large, reordered it a size down and fit perfect!

The material and silhouette of this dress is perfect. There’s a sturdy corset underneath that keeps up the bodice! The style is (and is supposed to be) floor length. I wore this to a wedding so the length made moving/dancing difficult, but I’m 5’3” so if you’re any taller than that it’d be perfect!

I wore this dress to a wedding and got so many compliments! Runs a little large, so I would size down for the best fit. I would 100% recommend this dress to anyone! 

This dress was EVERYTHING. Fit perfectly but wasn’t too tight even after a full dinner. I am a 34 B and the top stayed up through the night even while dancing. I will definitely be ordering again. 

LOVED this dress. Considered buying it. However, it was very long (dragged and I am 5 7’ and was wearing 2.5 inch heels). Does have a corset inside of it which makes it not as forgiving on sizing as you would think. 

Photos do NOT do it justice - i got 7 compliments in the bathroom prior to the wedding ceremony where I wore this. Perfect for black tie. Inside of dress up top has boning inside so keeps the top structured. I’m 5’10 and this was long on me in the back - a bit shorter in the front, so shorter gals beware. So fun to dance in highly recommended! 

Simplicity for styling.  Let the dress speak for itself...and it does!!! 

I’m 5’7” and a 32D-DD depending on the time of month and this dress toned down the girls (which I like). I went with a size 6 but probably should’ve gone with a size 4. I did find myself pulling up the gown but it wasn’t a big deal. I liked how modern and unusual it was. Paired with my husband’s tux perfectly!

the structure at the top of this dress keeps it up. with other strapless dresses that I’ve worn, I’ve had to keep pulling it up all night, but this one was a great fit! like others have said, it is very long on the sides. I thought it wouldn’t be as much for me being 5’9”, but it was. didn’t cause any issues with walking though since it is higher in the front and back! I felt comfortable walking, dancing, talking, and eating in this!

The dress was so stunning! Very long though and unfortunately doesn’t stay up it you are smaller chested, especially if you are at a wedding dancing

It was a good fit up top but way too long, if I owned I would've shortened it. 

I rented a 10 and I'm typically a 6/8 but I'm glad I did because it fit! A 6 or 8 would have been way too small. Great structure dress with the corset in it, but I felt I was pulling it up all night 

Absolutely loved this dress. I have a pretty big ribcage and a chest, and the Size 8 was still sliding down on me, especially on the dance floor. Would size down next time but this was an amazing black tie option and would rent again!

Most perfect & comfort dress but unfortunately too long for me:( 

I’m 5’8 and pretty thin and this was way too long and loose around the bust. Unfortunately I couldn’t wear it to my event. 

It’s beautiful, but it wasn’t my favorite fit—the top felt a bit restrictive and wasn’t the most flattering through the bust.

Received so many compliments on this dress! The dress is verrryyyyy long

I’m 20 weeks pregnant and ended up going with the US size 10 but was constantly pulling it up all night. Where the fabric changes at the top it was very hard to get the zipper over. Overall I was still very pleased with the dress! 

Loooooved this I felt so chic and it was super comfortable and flowy. It was so annoying tho to keep pulling up CONSTANTLY so if you’re active on the dance floor I would not recommend 

This picture is me wearing this dress with 5 inch heels and the fabric is still pooling on the ground! Loved the style but wasn’t able to wear it. 

Top has a built in corset so it fits pretty snug. Even with 4in heels, dress was way too long. Kept having to pick up when I walked and danced. Wouldn’t rent again because of the length.

Definitely order a size down and be aware of how long the dress is, it has a cute little train but it made it hard to dance 

The corset underneath wasn’t super tight so had to make shift a bra situation to hold the dress up. Overall very comfy and got lots of compliments!
