    Super cute and fun dress!

    "Super cute and fun dress! I’m excited to wear it to my nieces wedding. I appreciate the cute details and modest top. Thank you Kiyonna!"

    Stacey D. (5/5)

    LOVE this lil' Black Dress

    "Provides a lot of coverage and is super comfy while remaining flirty. Highly recommend!"

    Nancy D. (5/5)

    Highly Recommend!

    "I purchased the Francesca cocktail dress as a "Plan B" outfit for a wedding that I was attending, as I also ordered another dress that I was planning to wear but had not tried on either. While both of the Kiyonna dresses that I received were gorgeous,this dress no longer was a Plan B and I immediately decided to wear it to my event. It is beautiful, comfortable/easy to wear and stunning on. I received many compliments on this dress. It fits perfectly in normal size. It is a bit flowy, has beautiful shear sleeves/neckline and looks beautiful with a nice neckline. It is a great dress to have in my closet to wear to future events too. You will not be disappointed if you order this dress!"

    Lovely Dress!

    "Even though I wore this dress to a June wedding in Houston (hot and humid!), I felt put together and festive. I love this dress (words I haven’t uttered in years). It fit without any alterations (more words I haven’t uttered in years), the sleeve length is nice, the fabric hung nicely and didn’t cling, and the overlay pattern is beautiful."

    Perfect black dress

    "I needed a versatile dress for a fundraising gala, but that would also have an extended life and this dress fit both needs perfectly. It is super cute and dressy, but not too dressy. The A-line shape with the velvet band under the bust created a lovely silhouette that accentuated the positive and disguised my less than favorite areas. I received so many compliments on the dress. I'm very happy with this purchase."

    Wedding guest

    "Wore this to a fall wedding recently, received many compliments on what a pretty dress. It covered my chubby upper arms."

    Perfect for Formal Night on Cruise

    "After being cooped up for the last two years, we are FINALLY going on a big family vacation. We're taking a cruise and there's going to be two formal nights that I need to get an outfit for. Definitely going to wear this one for dinner. After living in sweatpants for the last two years, it's nice to finally head out and get dolled up again. Now if only Kiyonna made swimsuits... (hint hint)"

    SOOOO Pretty!

    "Going to a cousin's wedding in September and while I did already buy a dress for it, as soon as I saw this one, I knew I had to wear this one instead. I'm very self-conscious about my arms so I love that the sleeves on this are so pretty and not dowdy looking. Happy with my purchase!! :)"

    Q&A

    Curious about sizing as I have never ordered from this company before. According to the size chart, I should be a 1x but was wondering if someone could give me more insight. I am a 38DD bust, slightly pear shaped. I would appreciate any help. Thanks
    Hi Kim, Thanks for reaching out. We are very true to size and fit models to our sizes in house. Most of our clothing has a nice stretch to it as well. Since you are busty, possibly a size up might work out better. We do have many new customers purchase 2 sizes to see what their perfect fit is and return the one that doesn't work. We have easy returns process. Hope this helps!
