Black Graduation Dresses

I've hired this dress multiple times. It's a flattering fit and is comfortable as well. Loads of compliments whenever I've worn it. True to size but has a tiny bit of give if you need the room, particularly around the hips.
Hired Celeste Tie Midi Dress by Rebecca Vallance

The pictures do not do this dress justice. The fit for me was like a glove, the boning in the bodice meant no need for tape or bra, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. The dress has little give though, no stretch or anything. I’m 5’3” and this dress was excellent with 4” heels, but was still long at the back. I got a lot of compliments and felt fantastic in this one.
Hired Elyse Gown by Jadore

When I first pulled this out of the bag I was very excited as I think the fabric looks nicer than the pictures. However the fabric was quite heavy and hot and it was a very sunny weekend. The skirt doesn’t suit a short hourglass figure it kind of flares substantially across the hips. Would be gorgeous in cooler weather for a straighter figure and taller person.

Beautiful formal dress. It does have a little bit of give so size 8 was ok for me despite 96cm hips. My only small complaint is the plastic inserts that sit inside the dress vertically across the bust. If you have a small bust they dig into your skin below the bust which I did find uncomfortable and I was adjusting throughout the night. If you have a normal to large bust you’d probably be ok.
Hired Aviary Gown by Grace & Hart

Based on previous reviews I took a size smaller, and it was a perfect fit. Comfortable and very flattering. A nice weight to it and a double lining which made me feel covered appropriately.
Hired Irreplaceable Gown by Pasduchas

This was such a winter staple, I wore it to death for the month I had it. Such a great basic and it looks good layered over anything – pants, skirt, dress. It's super warm and a nice length. Would definitely consider purchasing this.
