I loved wearing this dress and received so many compliments!!

Hands down, the most comfortable dress I’ve ever worn to a wedding.  Perfect for black tie, and a golf swing!  Backless so plan for the girls support accordingly.

Fit true to size. I was worried about the open back feeling uncomfortable or too revealing but I felt comfortable. Boob tape was necessary. 

I was concerned this would be too long, but it was a great length for a petite frame. Beautiful fabric. Lots of compliments. Would love to wear this again. Need boob tape or similar. No support at all from the dress. 

This was probably one of my favorite dresses I have ever worn. I was looking for a red dress to take family photos this year because I did a color analysis earlier in the year and found out red was my color! I felt beautiful in this dress and we got so many compliments on this look. I did wear spanx underneath the dress to make it look more smooth. I'm 5'7 and I worn heels so the 10L was perfect for me. The family photos turned out amazing and I am so in love with this dress and the color! 

Absolutely stunning! I got a ton of compliments. Was short on me but I’m tall, but it still worked. Open back is super flattering. Only issue is there is no zipper so getting it on was a struggle, but worth it. 

You have to pull this over your head (no zipper!!) but the red satin moves well and the back is REALLY good. Needed sticky boobs but the ties are surprisingly effective and I could dance well in it without worrying about anything crazy happening. The dress does get a looser over the night but that didn’t bother me too much…rent it! 

I am so happy I went with this dress!! It was perfect! Fit like a GLOVE. I chose AUS6 and the back up was a AUS8. The size up actually fit me perfectly. I would recommend getting your true size and one size up just in case. Returning was a breeze, just took it into the closest UPS to the wedding venue and done! Overall very happy with this company and the back up (one size bigger) they provided because it ended up being perfect! Will be renting from them in the future! 

It fit amazing, looks great on & a lot of compliments 

Ended up wearing the 8 petite (in US size) because the 6 regular was a little narrow in the shoulders for me. The length was a little longer but fine with 3 inch heels. So many compliments and the back is stunning! Beware it does wrinkle. After our hour long ride to the event my dress had a lot of wrinkles in it. 

I love a good back moment! Reading other reviews I sized up from my normal and am glad I did. I probably could have work the 6 if it was available. 8P draped well and was a good length for me witn 2.5" heels. The weight of the fabric is lovely.

Got compliments all through the night. The dress arrived perfectly on time and fit great. The review saying there’s no zipper were helpful as I took that into account when ordering my size. I got a petite size so it wouldn’t touch the ground and that worked great for me. 

I felt like it hung slightly weirdly in the front, but from the back it was stunning. 
The 12 and 10 (AUS) both fit fine but I sized up because I liked that it was roomier on my hips. 

Dress was perfect for a semi-professional formal event. The open back was beautiful and added just the right amount of flirty. Fit was great 

Fits perfectly and the ties on the back adjust to best fit your body. They untied throughout the night, but easy to retire, so no biggie! Really loved this dress. Would buy and keep! 

The back is absolutely stunning and I felt amazing in this dress 

Everything about this dress exquisite. Be prepared for compliments all evening.

Absolutely loved this one and fit perfectly 

Wore to my company holiday party and got a LOT of compliments. Super flattering. I’m pear shaped and this was true to size while being body skimming. 

I love this dress but it does require a little attention to detail like the right under wear . I just tried it on so wasn’t wearing a shaper to make the front fit better. I wasn’t wearing shoes and it was a bit short so didn’t end up wearing it but the open back is very flattering 

This dress is so beautiful and I feel like it could fit most anybody types or chest sizes I’m rather small but have a muscular build so sometimes things don’t fit me as well but this was perfect I got so many compliments there’s also two ties in the back you need to tie the one around your neck but I just tucked the the other ties for the lower back in the dress and thought that looked better for a completely open back look !
This also says that I got a 12 but I wore an eight and it was perfect.

I was a little nervous about the size conversion but I listened to the reviews and sized up. I’m typically a size 4 and the Australian size 10R fit great! It had a little extra room around my waist but the ties in the back kept everything secure. The cut of the dress is very flattering! I am 5’-5” and wore 3.5” heels - the length was perfect. Would recommend for a black tie wedding or event!

True to size, hard to get on and off with no zipper. Great dress lots of compliments 


So perfect for a sexy look at a black tie event. Party in the back
For sure. 

Wore this dress to a wedding and can’t recommend it enough. Received so many compliments. Did have to steam it to get the wrinkles out and it still wrinkled pretty easily, but loved it and felt so pretty in it. 

I wore this dress to a wedding, and boy did I receive so many compliments. It’s a really gorgeous cut with it being both demure and a hint of sexy with the open back. Based on the reviews, I got both my size and a size up, but I found that the dress was true to size. 

This dress was amazing. I’m typically a size 6 ish but I read the reviews about sizing and ordered a 10 — which fit perfectly. If you put it on over your head, it goes in nicely. The strings in the back make it easy to adjust the fit. I got so many compliments on the backless detail and LOVED wearing this. 

Loved this dress, I probably could have gone a size up but this wasn’t uncomfortable! The only note I have is that this doesn’t have a zipper so it was a two person job getting it on and off

I ordered this dress to wear to a fall wedding. I was a little worried about having an issue with the ties on the back but they were secure and the arm holes prevent any true mishaps. The dress was super flattering. I am normally a size 8 and sized up to a 10L/AUS14. I probably could have worn the AUS 12 but the ties make it pretty forgiving on sizing. 

Only annoying thing is there is no zipper so it’s hard to get off but loved this dress - simple and pretty

Incredible wedding guest dress!!!!! Fits exactly as expected and quality is so so so good. If you’re thinking about it just do it

Perfect dress. So many compliments and so flattering!

Loved this dress. I am 5’-6”, 128 lbs. I ordered a (US) size 2 long and size 6 regular, (there wasn’t a lot of size options left last minute). Ended up wearing the 2 and it fit well! I could have worn the 6 as well, it just may have been slightly more material at the top. It also did not feel super open at the back to the point where it felt uncomfortable around coworkers. Material is thicker than you might think! You just need some sticky boobs and you’re good 👍

Like the fit of this dress, but it's more mid length than I realized and ended up not wearing to the black tie event 

This wasn't my first choice, but it worked. I will say, it's nearly impossible to take on & off without assistance. There is no zipper or give in this dress, so there's no pulling it up. I could only put it over my head. With hair & makeup, this wasnt a fun task. I got tons of compliments, but photos aren't flattering. It was comfortable, but straps came undone easily. Size 6 fit perfectly once I had it on. But if you have anything larger than a 36C, you may want to size up to get it on. 

Very comfortable but no zipper to get in. I had to put it over my head 

I read and read the reviews looking for someone to say something about what chest support was present and/or needed due to the open back. You do need something - the dress doesn't have any built in bust support. It's a VERY pretty design and had it been longer I likely would have tried to make it work for my event. 

I didn’t end up wearing this dress because I felt like it should’ve been longer. It came above my ankles. The back was open and pretty, but that wasn’t enough to make up for the length.

I ordered a very random size because it was the only one available in time for the black tie wedding I wore this too and it was a little big but it ended up fitting great once I tied the back straps much tighter. I go so many complements and it was super comfortable. The material is heavy enough you aren’t worried about every bump showing since the back was too low for shapewear
