Best Little Black Dress
This black dress is a total staple. The fit is flattering, the fabric feels higher-end than I expected, and it’s the kind of piece you can dress up with heels or keep simple with boots. I got compliments all night — 10/10 would buy again.

Not well designed
I got this dress for my 17 year old. It looked fabulous from the waist down but the top needed alterations. The tailor said he could do it, but it would be complicated. He encouraged us to find something else and if we couldn't bring it back, but he said the design on top is flawed. We found another dress at Abercrombie that is adorable and does not need alterations. I would say if you are petite the top part of the dress might not work for you.

A “great” neckline and not too short for sitting.
I was attending a White Party at the 2025 Low Country Jazz Festival in Charleston South Carolina and I wanted something that I could dance in and show my legs.

Very flattering
In the past I have found FC to run small but maybe that has changed as this fit great and tts. I find the fit to be good through out including the top / shoulders. The a line silhouette is very flattering if you have a belly. The fabric has a bit of weight without feeling heavy or too flimsy, it’s lined.

perfect for a wedding or work event
This dress fits so well and makes you look like you have an awesome shape. You could wear this to work with a cute blazer or to a wedding. I’ve had the hardest time postpartum finding a dress that fits my body and this one truly did! I got a size 8 but think I could probably even size down to a 6.

Love love love!
I bought this dress for graduation and it’s perfect! I was looking for something more professional, but still appropriate for my age. It fits like a glove! It’s high quality as well!
