Classic signature Ivy dress, very beautiful, cute and elegant. Runs small on waist area. Took it to Napa Valley and received plenty of compliments.
Crystal E.
So pretty! But I did find that it ran a little bit small

Everything has been said about this beautiful signature dress, I do concur with everyone else: it is gorgeous, special, great that you can choose different colors and patterns, we're all obsessed with it, etc, etc, BUT we also agree that is WAY to tight on the waist area and some times on the chest (regardless everyone's size). Will be ideal and lovely for Ivy to pay attention to these comments and proceed accordingly, make some small changes it to it. Yes I do recommend it, just wish would have a little bit more room. I'm 5'2", 36C and 116 pounds for reference.

Very flattering dress. Runs true to size - 5'4" 120 lbs size xs

OBSESSED! I got this dress for one of my outfits for engagement photos and it is STUNNING. I normally am a Large but due to the zipper and not stretch I had to size up to a 1X because I have a 42 bust and 36 waist (ugh the big bone curse). But it is so flattering. Only minor complaint is the zipper gets hesitant where the ribbon is and takes a little muscle but this dress is a dream
Brittany C.
Obsessed with this dress!! It’s absolutely perfect! Picked my size based on the size chart. True to Size. I need this dress in EVERY COLOR!
Elaine H.
I got the wrong size. Stay with your normal size.
Elaine
Love this dress. I already have this dress in my size up, but the sleeves were a little loose so I wanted to try my tts. My tts didn’t zip up. The sizing is a bit off but still very cute.
Julee B.
I absolutely love this dress! It's a little bit flirty but also modest. I needed a black dress to wear for my grandmother's funeral and this one worked perfectly. My grandma wanted the granddaughters to wear modest black dresses, so the length had to go down to at least our knees. I'm glad I was able to find such a special dress to wear to send my grandma away to heaven.
Haneen
Such a wonderful dress! The fit was spot on! I got a medium, 5’6”, 155lbs. The zipper can be difficult to pull up but it was manageable.
Cleopatra R.
Ahhh okayyy I love love love this one!!
I am obsessed with this dress
Runs true to size
For reference I am 5 foot tall and wearing my true size Small, fits like a glove and actually I have a Lil wiggle room in the waistline, my new obsession is dress, hey am 40 years old and never too old for a dress like this one!!
Delaney W.
this is the most elegant, classy dress I own!! Ivy City did such a great job w this one. I’m obsessed w the sleeves and layering of tulle. I ended up sizing down because I have a smaller bust, but if you have anything bigger than an A cup, I’d definitely stick to your normal size!
Bianca O.
I had to size up and it fit perfectly!! I can’t not wait to wear it !!
Elaine
I would give this dress 5 stars, but the sizing is a little off in my opinion. I ordered my tts and my size up. My tts fit, but it felt like I could barely breathe in it. I also ordered my size up. The size up was a little loose, but it covered more of my skin, so I stayed with my size up despite it being loose.
Trinity Y.
The Ballerina in black is beyond stunning! I am wearing my TTS in Medium. For reference I am 5’4”, 140lbs, and bra size is 34D. The length hits mid calf. I just have to say I am in absolute love with this style of dress. It is very flattering! If you don’t already have a Ballerina dress in your closet you should totally get one. Thank you Ivy City Co!
Jamie S.
The most perfect dress! So happy I snagged one before they sold out!
Ruth C.
The most beautiful black dress I owe! I’m in love! The only thing is that the sizing is kinda off I’m in between a small/medium and I got a medium in this dress and the waist was good but the bust/shoulders was too loose I wasn’t going to be able to size up/down but I still love it!
Amelia H.
Sooo pretty!! I love the lower neckline, I’d been hoping Ivy would make a few more slightly lower necklines and this is perfect! This is a size xxl, and it fits just right, still room to breath but not loose at all, my measurements are bust 41in, waist 35 in for reference.
Sarah R.
This dress fits true to size(xs) but i wouldn’t follow the size chart… get the size your normally wear. It’s such a pretty dress and I can’t wait to wear it out♥️
Samantha L.
My FAVORITE Ivy silhouette! So flattering and feminine! Fits me TTS, I’m a XS and 5’4”
Kallee N.
I love the white even more but this is a nice black option that will stay in style! Very pretty
Ama D.
This dress is stunning, a lot of compliments very classy. I normally wear medium but since I’m breastfeeding I had to go a size up because it was tight around my bust. It’s a beautiful dress and want it in all the other colors.
Crystal B.
Runs true to size! I’m 5’1” and 150 lbs, the large fits well. I felt like the top part was loose, it might show too much at the top for those wanting to be modest. The dress is beautiful and the tulle is soft.
Crystal B.
Runs true to size. I’m 5’1” and 150 lbs and the large was perfect. The dress is absolutely beautiful, I just don’t like that the top is lower than I would have liked. It shows my bra and straps. I wore a black bra but they poked out. It’s a beautiful dress and the tulle is soft. Very high-quality.
Maria S.
The prettiest. I have the white too and floral should be coming any day now. I think it runs maybe a little small but the zipper also gets a little stuck so hard to put on myself. Need someone to help.
Lani T.
Prettiest little black dress EVER!! Ordered my tts and it fits really tight. Sizing up would be too big in the bust. Sleeves would have slipped off. It’s sooooo pretty. Wearing a L in the photo
Elaine
I sized up, but it’s a little loose in the waist. I also ordered my tts but it was too tight in the bust so I decided to stick with the size up. The tulle is so fun and pretty. I love the polka dot details.
Nina
I wanted to like this Ballerina dress so badly! Especially with the white just launching and the new floral coming soon! However, I do not like the cups on the chest of this dress. It does not suit me well. Since I am nursing it also doesn't fit over my entire bust making it look awkward on. The cups look even more noticeable on the white Ballerina dress so I probably won't order it. I was also expecting softer tulle on the skirt, but it was so stiff and reminded me more of a costume skirt. Such a beautiful idea for a dress and if it didn't have the cups on the chest I probably would get the white and floral versions too.
Elaine
I sized up because of my bust, but as a result it’s a little loose in the waist. It’s so cute and I’m obsessed with the tulle. I got my tts and it was too tight. I then sized up but then it was too big in the waist. I just decided to stay with my size up since I liked the dress so much.
Amy G.
I went up one size and it fit like a glove. This style is meant to be fitted. It is such a beautiful and feminine silhouette. It’s an instant classic! I can’t wait for the purple lace version!
Sara C.
Exactly what I’d hoped for
Jessica
Waist is too high
The waist on this dress is cut significantly higher than the rest (I’ve noticed this is becoming a trend with newer styles). Because of this, the “waist” hit me about an inch below my bra strap, and I couldn’t get it zipped up past the bottom of my bra (I ordered a large since I’m a 32F bra size and need the extra room there, but for a large not to zip up past a 32” rib cage is pretty odd), even though I bought my usual size. I hope this trend stops, or that they adjust the waist length with each size rather than just expanding the material horizontally.
Taylor
Gorgeous dress and has amazing detail. I didn’t follow the size guide so it didn’t fit me. It was a little too snug to zip up. But it was a beautiful dress and has amazing tulle.
Crystal
Elegant
I wore this for my birthday dinner. It is a beautiful and comfortable dress. Very good quality. The neckline is a bit low for us with petite stature, so take that into account. I wore a black bra so you couldn’t really tell, but the shoulders shifted a bit so my bra straps kept showing. If you dress very modestly, this dress is not for you. It’s very well made, though.

Such a staple to have in your closet! Elegant and so form fitting! It is a bit snug but I don’t mind it!! Also the tulle is so soft!

Love normalizing tutus for grown woman! Such a beautiful silhouette. Love more black options are being made. I sized up, it was still tight but I think that’s how this dress is meant to be styled. (Never received email to give a proper picture review)

Gorgeous!
This dress is gorgeous! I love the sweetheart neckline and tulle. I forgot to take a picture while trying it on. I ordered a medium and large because I was worried about the bust but my usual medium size fit perfectly! I only returned them because I had to sadly admit to myself that I have nowhere to wear them!
Kallee N.
So cute!
Classy and fancy! It’s such a fun dress
Caroline
Perfect black dress
This dress is everything! I was so excited when it was released and I was able to get one, I recently purchased the white version I can’t wait to wear it!
Julia
Dream Dress!
This dress is 100% my favorite IvyCityCo dress to date! It fits snug in the right places to give a gorgeous silhouette. For reference, I am a 36C, 5'7", and 145lbs and ordered a medium. Fits PERFECTLY!
Ruth
Cutest black dress
Loved everything about this dress. Especially because it’s black, but the only downside is that the bust is loose and the waist fist perfect, so I wouldn’t be able to size down, other than that it’s perfect.
Samantha
LOVE!
This is my favorite ivy dress so far! Just ordered the white one because I loved this one so much! It is very flattering, well made, and comfortable. I am between an XS and a S and got the XS. Fit perfectly!
Rebecca S.
Way too big
I have a small chest but I am a true medium. This dress was massive on the chest. Went to exchange for a small and they were sold out. Others have had very good luck with this dress. Size chart didn't match my size
Jessica B.
Little black dress approved!
Ive always loved tulle dresses, with modesty and sophistication! This combines all of those without sacrificing a pretty dress. A must have for your closet!
Holly
Obsessed.
I ordered my true size and I’m glad I did. I found that this fit true to size and it has quickly become one of my fashion staples. The perfect dress for any occasion.
Allison
Beautiful in every way!
Got this dress in the woman’s and mini me sizes. Just beautiful and classic. Will become my fav LBD. Only one small issue is the bust does fit a little loosely and the rest of the dress is tight. I’m a medium in other Ivy dresses and still a medium in this but it’s a weird fit. Still, I would buy it again!

Lani
My fave:u1F970:
Ahhhh I love this dress! I stayed tts and it fits but it’s TIGHT! Sizing up would be too big in the bust. Sleeves would be slipping off! Such a beautiful little black dress!!:u1F970:
Maia
Gorgeous, but…
This dress is breathtakingly beautiful. Unfortunately for me it ran very small. If you are busty I would size up for sure. It has no give and is very structured. So sad because I wanted it to work.
Elaine
So cute
It’s very flattering. It runs small in the chest area so I sized up.
Rachel C.
Gorgeous dress!
I ordered a medium and large because I was worried about the bust not fitting. I’m normally a medium in Ivy dresses and it fit perfectly! The details are lovely and the dress is stunning.
Vidita C.
The dreamiest LBD!
If you’re looking for a classic, timeless LBD, this is it! It fit me perfectly and it’s super flattering. I can see myself wearing it to so many types of occasions. I’m in love!!
Sydney
Wanted to love it
I ordered a large and medium because the size chart was a little confusing. I’m usually a size medium in Ivy City and found that the medium fit TTS. The large was much too big in the bust. This is definitely a vintage style and the details and beautiful, I just didn’t love it on me.
Savannah
New Favorite Dress
This dress is stunning! I am usually between a XS and S in Ivy's zipper dresses, and the small fit perfectly. I would stay TTS
Krystal V.
Perfect Black Dress
Love the tulle and cut. Received lots of compliments when I wore it to a Christmas gathering. The dress is not TTS according to size chart though. It runs much bigger. I ordered a size up to size chart. I would go down a size. I kept this dress because it’s sold out online. I’ll have to take it in to make the bust and waist smaller.
Rosie L.
beautiful dress... But didnt work for me
I returned this dress because the fit was odd on the bust area: little loose whilst the waist was true to size (according to their size chart)
Another thing I didnt like was the simulated bra cups on the dress looked out of place and the the neckline was lower than usual...
Silvana J.
Beautiful
This dress is gorgeous. I love the design. Perfect for holidays or any party. So in love. I am a true medium but I got a large because I follow the chart size but it was wrong. Waist was right but bust was wrong. I was sad about because it did not fit. Thankfully, they make a pre-order so I got a medium.
I am waiting for it.
Fritzie M.
Beautiful dress but bust area runs big
This dress is so beautiful and light. However, I find that the size on the bust is actually about 2.5 inches bigger than what they have in the size chart so my regular size didn’t work with me. It’s a beautiful black dress to have so I bought a smaller size hopefully that fits me better.
Wendy K.
Beautiful dress!
I'm absolutely in love with this dress!! It fits me like a glove. My husband did have a hard time figuring out how to zip it up but my seamstress was able to zip it up with no problems. I'm so excited to wear this on New Years.
Kyla O.
Beautiful
I love this dress. The only thing I didn’t like was it bunched a little on the side and I don’t have a short torso. Also the sizing chart was a little off so you will want to size down from the measurements but still ran small from their past dresses.
Lende A.
Ballerina Dress
Oh, beautiful Ballerina Dress how I love thee! The sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice, tulle, perfect puff sleeves, and endless possibilities to style! I stayed with my true to size and it fits like a glove :black_heart:
Prableen G.

I felt like a snatched princess! :black_heart:
Jazmin Z.
Beautiful!!
This dress runs a little small, the small runs like a true size 4 and the medium runs like a size 8. If you have a fuller bust, then size up, if you have a small bust stay true to size, it will be tight though. I’m between a size 4-6 and the small fits better than the medium, but it’s definitely tight. I wish it were an inch bigger in the bust and the waist so they would be more true to size :blush:

Best in a while!
This dress fits me like a dream! I am 5'7 34DD and the medium fit perfect. I love the neckline it's subtly sexy without being too revealing. The skirt is nice and full but still lightweight. Makes me feel beautiful! If you're on the fence definitely get this one. It's a keeper!

Ballerina Fan
I saw this when it debuted and fell in love!! I’ve read people say it’s TTS and others say to size up. I didn’t have a choice because I needed a 3X. It’s a little snug, but it’s gorgeous! Add to cart ASAP!
Jamie P.
Beautiful dress- size chart off
I was so excited to get this dress because it’s all black and I love the neckline, but the size chart was way off in the chest. Because of the seaming and extra fabric, you need to have an ample chest to fill this out. I do not. I was really excited when the chest measurement looked smaller, but the size chart was wrong again. I’m finding it harder to order non smocked dresses based on the charts.
The skirt is a little fuller than pictured, but pretty and the sleeves are very puffy, but that would have also been because of the large size. I like the style but did not keep.
