I wore this dress for our Valentines dinner and I loved it. The corset was a wonderful touch, and got my snatched. I didn’t get any pictures unfortunately but it was beautiful nonetheless. Will be buying more from Scarlet Darkness. I am a regular patron at the Renaissance Festival in my state, and I look forward to purchasing pieces for my garb. Read more

I am 5'6" and about 140lbs. I usually wear a small in a dress with a lot of stretch if I want it form-fitting and a medium in a more structured dress so I ordered the medium in this one. Unfortunately it ran really small and I wish I had gotten a large because you can use the laces on the back to tighten it to get a more fitted appearance. However, the dress is lovely and would have gotten 5 stars if the fit had been accurate. - love the color and cute print - fabric weight was nice and flowy, great summer dress - fabric was soft and comfortable - length was cute without being too short - it has boning in the bodice section so the structure gives a lot of support - there are clasps along the front and laces on the back plus so it's fairly adjustable - sizing ran small, highly suggest ordering up a size Overall this is a really nice quality dress, just check sizing before ordering Read more
I got the blue pink floral version of this dress. I usually prefer to wear darker colors, so it was hard to choose a color for this one. I could tell that both the blue pink and the apricot would be the colors that would look best on me. I do kind of wish I had done the apricot, but I still really like this one so I can't complain. The color is accurate to the product pictures, and I think my pictures came out accurately for color as well this time. Let's talk about the corset part because I love it. If you've tried a lot of corset style things you will know there are real corsets out there and fake corset-style things. This is like the perfect cross between the two somehow. So the front has all the boning and almost all the stiffness of a real corset. The fabric is thick enough to work but not as thick as you would expect from a real corset. This fades to the back, which is more "corset-style" than true corset. You can't really pull your waist in, maybe a little, but the boning on the front creates the same type of straight front you would expect from a true corset. I LOVE this. To me this is the perfect cross between comfort and corset, because if we are honest an actual corset is really not comfortable. This manages to create a very nice look without being uncomfortable. I would say the quality is very good because I would not normally expect a corset this nice from a product like this at this price (currently around $37). The dress is not stretchy at all, but I would not expect a corset style dress to be. There is a little bit of variability with the ties on the back. The size was accurate for me. I usually take a small in dresses and this small fit me very well. I have one B cup and one C cup and they did not fill out the top very well, but at the same time the top is tight enough for that not to be awkward. I'm not falling out of it at all or worried about falling out. This is a type of dress that is hard to wear a bra with. I am wearing sticky covers under it. This dress has adjustable straps that feel like they will last well, and it has decent sized pockets. If I had to find a complaint it would be that the skirt is prone to static, but that is easily fixed. I've included a picture with a fuller slip underneath, although it's not the right color for the dress. (I took the picture for another review.) I think it adds some nice shape to the bottom and might consider getting the white one for this dress. Read more
This dress is so dainty and femeni. It's exactly like the pictures and description. The corset design adds to the look and function of the dress allowing you to tighten or losses according to your comfort. The floral print againt this dusty robins egg blue is my favorite part about this dress. I will be pairing this dress with off white kitten heels but you could easily wear a pair of flats or sandles. The length is just above the knee giving it a fun and flirty feel but not too revealing. A sheer shawl or a plain cardigan could also be worn with this dress. Overall I really like the style and print. The fabric isn't stretchy so be sure to order the right size. Read more

This looks really cute and seems to be made very well. The corset part is done nicely and looks like it would add the perfect shape. HOWEVER the sizing is off. I am 5’1 and weight 115lbs. I ordered a small and couldn’t get the dress on. Maybe it was a mistake sizing on my dress and it was a smaller size than tagged because the dress didn’t even seem to be the measurements listed on the sizing guide. I’ll have to remember to size up next time I try this brand. Read more
So I would say that if you are between sizes, I would recommend sizing up instead of sizing down. I did size down on this one and was able to get it zipped and love the fit, but it did take some time so for the sake of comfort I do recommend sizing up accordingly. Overall, this dresses incredibly flattering the yellow color is gorgeous and I absolutely love the print. Stress is beautiful and is perfect for a photo shoot. The material is high-quality and I love that the straps are adjustable. Read more
