First, the good. The dress is beautiful and it truly stands out. People actually came up to me to compliment the dress and my boyfriend thought I looked classy and beautiful. The photos of the dress on the website are a pretty accurate depiction of the color (big silver sequins on a pale pink background). I loved wearing this dress; it was perfect for a fancy New Year's Eve party and I think it would flatter most body types. Now, the "not-so-good." It was recommended that I order my back-up size a size larger (which was a 10), but I wish I had ordered my back-up size a size smaller (which would have been a 6). I wore an 8, which fit fairly well, but I would have preferred it to be slightly snugger in the torso. Also, this dress is not for shorter girls. I'm 5'9" (and wore 3-inch heels) and the dress skimmed my legs mid-knee - it's definitely not as short as it appears on the model. I think I would have liked it more if it were about 2 to 3 inches shorter. I styled it with big sparkly studs from JCrew, basic nude pumps and a giant sparkly ring - the dress really speaks for itself and doesn't need too much accessorizing. Overall, it was win. I definitely recommend this dress!
