I ordered the 6 and 8, as well as the Stylist Surprise, which turned out to be a pair of Badgley Mischka Crystal Cluster Earrings. Let's take them one at a time: The Dress: Though I normally wear a 6, I went with the 8 because it had that much more wiggleroom ... and I wanted to be able eat AND dance comfortably. The dress was amazing: classy, fun, sparkly and of great quality. No underarm scratches here! I got compliments all night. The only downsize is the neckline. It's a SERIOUS plunge and I had to do some fancy work with some double-sided tape to make sure my bra stayed covered. (It would also have been great if the dress had lingerie straps built into it, but that's feedback for Mr. Mischka and not RTR.) The Jewels While gorgeous, I didn't feel like they really matched the dress. They were crystal and silver, and the dress is a lovely, bronzey rose gold and much more suited to gold jewelry (imho). Luckily I had a bracelet and hoops that worked great and created a funky, fun, fancy disco vibe.
