I wore this to a concert on Halloween.  It’s sooo comfortable and hides every flaw especially if you have a mommy belly like me. I didn’t have to wear any restrictive  support garments underneath and when I tell you I comfortably danced for entire concert!! The dress is little short so I found myself pulling it down in the back a lot but I wore shorts underneath in case I flashed anyone. I’m smaller in the chest than I am on the bottom so
too was a little loose but nothing crazy at all.  I didn’t wear a bra with this dress which was wonderful!! 

Fits true to size but also loose enough (shift style) 

So cute, needs the right accessories and it’s beautiful.

I got a small but could have comfortably done an XS. I’m a 2/4

It was a bit big (I should have gone with medium) but still worked for the night out. It was a super fun dress to wear for a night out on the town. I got it as a backup for another dress and glad I did as I ended up wearing it instead of the other one. Super comfy but still felt awesome wearing it! 

I got this to wear for a Prohibition fundraiser. It was comfy and cute and fit perfect!

I rented this last year as my second choice dress but did not wear it because it was too large.  When I was invited to another Roaring 20s party, I knew the dress I wanted.  I sized down and it was perfect!  It doesn't photograph well because it is all one color but it looked beautiful and I received compliments all night.

I rented a M and it was perfect. I'm 5'8 and it didn't feel too long or too short. Wore to a sorority event and got compliments all night. 

Wore to a concert and it looked stunning! I was about 24 weeks and you couldn’t tell I was pregnant at all! It’s not like form hugging but it’s super beautiful 

 Wore this for a flapper themed 1920s event and it was great

Usually you can't use comfortable and dressy in the same sentence but this dress was amazing. It felt and looked great all night. No need for spanx either! I wore it twice, for parties in NYC and Palm Springs.

I rented this dress for a 1920s murder mystery party. I ordered an L and an XL. Both fit which was great. I chose the XL because it was a little longer. It was loose fitting and the straps were adjustable. No complaints! I'm 5'8" and the XL landed mid thigh.

Rented this for a 20s themed holiday party.  It was a little short, but perfect for the occasion.

I loved this dress for a Great Gatsby-themed party. It is a little on the shorter side, but the bodice fit great, no gaping. Very fun to wear!

I put a belt around this to bring it in at the waist a little and it fit great. A little short but not too much. Got a lot of compliments at my Christmas party with my red heels! 

I wore this piece to a great Gatsby themed fundraiser. It fit perfectly, moved well on the dance floor and was a subtle enough piece that I could glam it up with fun accessories! Highly recommend.

This was the perfect dress for a Roaring Twenties theme party. I received so many compliments all night long -- and I'm sure it was mostly because my long legs were on full display.  With my 36" inseam, I knew the dress would be short but I love to show o my gams. The straps are adjustable so I made them as long as possible to give me as much length as possible so I wouldn't look like a tramp.

I'm a size 10 and ordered the M and L. The previous reviews were right in that this dress runs large because the M was perfect and the L, which I normally wear, too large under the armpits and sides.

Although I'm thin and straight, I do have a serious belly that I'm very self-conscious about. This dress hides all the flaws so I loved it. Plus, it's very comfortable.


So many compliments 
I wore the large for the extra length
Very comfortable and fun to dance in 


I rented this for a friend's Gatsby-themed 50th birthday party and it was perfect! The dress is true to size - I'm a size 6-8 and the Medium fit perfectly. It was super comfortable and fun to wear. I would definitely rent this again!

Loved the playful and comfortable day to evening dress! 

Super comfortable and easy to wear dress. Rented for a 20's themed fundraiser and received a ton of compliments! Can't wait to rent again!

Perfect for a Gatsby party!  The length was great/not too short especially for a 5'9" gal!  Loved this dress and received a lot of compliments on it.  Sorry I didn't have a full length picture.  

Wore this for a work event themed Roaring 20s and it was perfect. Lots of compliments! Nicely made dress. Runs TTS - I wore a large but a M would have been a better fit. The shape of the dress is forgiving so it didn't matter. 

The dress has no bling but with proper accesories, turns out fabulous & classy! Just know tho that it is indeed very boxy. Please SIZE DOWN! Overall, I enjoyed the dress! 

Felt dressy enough for a wedding with the tiered feather detail. A great dress for dancing and hiding your tummy if that is what you're looking for. I wouldn't recommend for bigger chested people because it made me look bigger/boxier than I actally am. I am 5'4 so I did not have to worry about length, but taller people may want to look at sizing up for length.

This dress runs big but has adjustable straps. I rented it for a costume.

To start off the stress with the last minute pack after my first choice did not go over well. I have to think RTR for their 48 hour turnover miracle for my event. There is nothing wrong with a little black dress. This is a flapper inspired dress, it has adjustable straps and a straight fit. I'm a little fuller in the hip area which made the large a teensy bit snug but manageable. 

We attended a 1920s wedding and this was the perfect dress. It truly has no shape which means no bra or spanx! The differences between the small and medium were around the hips and the length. It's a shorter cocktail dress, but still classy enough for a wedding. 4 stars since it didn't do much for my shape, but I got compliments all night! 

I liked this dress and received  many compliments, but I felt wide in it. The liner was very tight. I have an hourglass figure and this dress didn't show off my waist the way I wanted. 

Rented this for a 1920s themed event. Straps looked a bit cheap and it was definitely a loose fit but the dress moved well and was incredibly comfortable. 

This was a perfect dress for a Roaring 20s party. Many compliments during the evening. Very comfortable dress and no need to wear a bra. Dress definitely runs large. I am am a size 6/8 and the M was too big. 

I turned into flapper dress I don’t think I would rent for party it’s very cute but it’s not form fitting.

Runs very large and boxy. Rented an XS, normally a standard medium.  And it fit well but still wide without shape. Worked so well for a 1920s party, but definitely would not wear otherwise. 

This dress is a great backdrop for standout accessories. I wore this dress to a 30th bday party with an "End of the Roaring 20s" theme and got compliments on my look all night. Ordered a medium but could've definitely gotten away with a small--super roomy and comfortable, adjustable straps very necessary. 

I absolutely loved the dress. It fits a little large and it was almost too short for my taste, but it worked perfectly for this party! It is a good quality material and the straps are adjustable. The detailing makes the dress stand out as more than just a traditional black dress. 

The large fit well, but I went with the xl for length. It's pretty short for a leggy 5'9"

I am 21 weeks pregnant so deciding what to wear can be challenging. Had a 1920 themed wedding party to attend. Came across this dress which seemed perfect. With the non form fitting design I felt more confident. Rented the L and XL as a backup. The L fit just right!! I was comfortable in it all night and got lots of compliments. Would def recommend for a party & especially if you have a #Gatsbyparty. 

For reference I am 5'3" -- at this point of pregnancy I'm currently 166 pounds and 38D

Super comfortable. Pictures don't quite do it justice, but it was a really elegant 1920s-esque look! Adjustable straps, which is helpful! 

Very easy to wear, super comfortable since it’s not tight fitting. Wore for a NYE wedding. Only con is you can’t see the feather texture in pictures because of the color

Perfect for a flapper dress. Definitely runs large. I felt very comfortable in the xs and a usually wear a small.
