This dress is very cheap feeling and looking. It’s baggy in some parts and tight and constricting in others. It doesn’t seem to be made for a woman’s body. Cheap material. Cheap looking. Hard pass.

Hard pass, the corset part was sewn lopsided and crooked and it’s extremely noticeable when you’re wearing it. They need better quality control, especially for these prices. I also sized up to a large based on reviews, but would recommend getting normal size. I’m 135 5’3”, small would’ve been fine. Chest area is very revealing and likely to cause an embarrassing slip-out. Very disappointed, can’t wait to get my money back!

I wore this to a wedding and got so many compliments! I'm 5'7 125lbs (measurements: 32C, 24in waist, 36in hips). I was unsure what size to buy based on the reviews saying it runs small and the brand's size chart. I ordered an XS and Small. The small fit, but didn't give the corset effect of snatching your waist. The XS was perfect--it snatched my waist, wasn't too tight throughout the bottom, and didn't require a bra or shape wear. The corset portion is very tight and makes you sit/stand perfectly straight which isn't the most comfortable, but it looks amazing!

I didn’t want to try this on because it didn’t speak to me but once I was convinced to just see it on, I fell in love. The color was stunning in my skin tone. BUT A WARNING….SIZE UP!! These dresses RUN SMALL. I got an L+ (xl) instead of my usual Medium/Large. Good fit once you do. And it cinches you in SO well. But it does obviously stain easier since it’s satin so be careful.
I did a lot of research on this dress before I bought it. I saw TikTok videos of women wearing the dress to get a better idea of what I was working with. They all said to size up bc it runs small and they were right! Absolutely loved this dress. I got many compliments on it. I loved it so much I’m buying it in a different color.
Beautifully made dress that accentuates your curves in all the right places. Top is a corset and it behaves like a corset! So expect a little pressure on your rib cage is you have a wider rib cage (like me).The bottom of the dress is also tight - so if you are planning to dance in this dress, you will have limited movement.This dress makes me feel red carpet ready and very curvy.
I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive when my daughter picked a black dress for her senior prom. I was pleasantly surprised. The dress is beautiful and she looked so classy and elegant in it. We ordered size xs. The corset top is snug and gave her the appearance of having curves lol! This dress is a winner!
Bought this dress for a bridesmaid dress. Incredibly flattering, beautiful detail. It actually fit in the bust and waist and hips which is hard for me to find as I’m very narrow on top but I do have hips. It does wonders to enhance curves! It was long on me, so I did need to hem it. Highly recommend.
Small was too small, medium was too big. I liked the detail at the bodice, but it fit funky and I'm a fairly small person. Unfortunately, I returned this. Also, the medium was more of an ivory/yellowish color compared to the small. Dingy looking. Not sure why this was.
Beautiful sexy dress, I love it but unfortunately the dress fit me small (L DD), I’ll be returning it and ordering a bigger size (XL DD). I love the dress it makes me feel so sexy and curvy, I’m not curvy at all. For reference I’m 5.6” 160lbs and 36 DD. The dress looks exactly like the picture and the length is perfect for me, but it didn’t zip all the way on my upper back.
