Simple and elegant
I enjoyed wearing this dress - it fit comfortably and stayed put all evening long and through hours of dancing. This dress is simple, in the best way. Traveled in my suitcase well, fit well. Received compliments (although this dress is not anything I would call flashy or attention- getting) and I felt appropriately dressed for my "black tie optional" tropical destination wedding.

I really wish I could have worn a smaller size...
This dress was just fine for my garden party dinner. It was unavailable in a small (the size I preferred), so I wore the medium, which was blousy in the waist and the skirt was very full. The larger fit made it look a little peasant-y, which was not the look I was going for. A big bonus, though, was that the back was not nearly as low as pictured on the model, so I was happily able to wear a normal bra. This dress has pockets (almost always a wonderful feature), but in this case I feel the pockets added to the fullness of the skirt. The dress is pretty and would be perfect for a picnic or other casual outdoor event, I was just hoping for a more tailored fit.

Playful way to wear fur!
I rented this coat to wear to a formal dinner, but it came early so I decided to wear it casually too. Worked beautifully both ways. This coat added modern flair (and warmth) to my dinner dress and was a funky way to play up a pair of jeans. I would like to own this coat as it is feels modern with the faux fur, swings easily between casual and dressy, and is a great neutral shade.

Not one complaint about this dress!
I love this dress. Fits well, flattering and best of all - COMFORTABLE! The first "off the shoulder" piece I have worn where I am not yanking and pulling at the thing all evening to make it stay up... This dress stays in place and was a great length for my tall frame. This is a fun take on a classic dress and I highly recommend it.

The color and style of this dress was perfect for a mid-winter bridal shower
Unfortunately, I was only sent this dress in one size – Medium. I would have definitely preferred to have worn a Small. This dress was pretty and a great style for my event, but just a little sloppy due to the fit not being ideal. I was disappointed to not have received this dress in the back up size, and would have preferred being sent my alternate dress in two size runs.

Beautiful color, flattering fit!
This dress drew so many compliments, and I have to say it is one of my favorites I have worn. I love the little ruffle detail down the front and the sweetheart neckline. It really is a pretty dress, and a gorgeous and rich shade of green. The Small fit me like a glove, the Medium would have been more comfortable but I worried about feeling the need to pull it up all night so I went with the Small. I was complimented on the body-skimming silhouette this created, but was grateful to be out of it by the end of the evening because I did feel a little constricted. Overall, I felt this was a perfect dress to wear to an elegant Christmas cocktail party.

Glittered like an ornament at my Christmas party!
This dress was so much fun to wear. I could tell from the listing photos that this was a tiny dress, so I ordered a Medium and a Large. The Large was much more boxy and therefor less flattering, but the Medium was quite short on me. I liked the fit of the Medium better, so decided to wear tights with the dress to give myself a little more coverage. There is a good amount of stretch in the material which made it very comfortable to wear through dinner and for some dancing. I don't own anything sequined so this was a fun and playful deviation from my regular wardrobe!

Compliments all night long!
EVERYONE commented on how stunning this dress was - and it is. Other reviewers mentioned this dress had a heavy weight to it so even though it is lace I figured I could wear it comfortably for New Year's Eve. No joke - there are oodles of yards of fabric in this dress and it is very heavy and warm. Thank goodness for that because I was unable to wear a coat due to the voluminous sleeves. So instead I paired this dress with tall brown boots and a fuzzy scarf and I was warm and felt chic. I ordered both the small and medium and there was no discernible difference between the two sizes, interestingly.

Extremely versatile!
I rented this dress for 8 days over the holidays because I knew I had several events back-to-back and hoped that I could take this dress in different style directions. It did not disappoint! I wore this dress with bright green flats and a statement tassel necklace, wore it more casually with tights and black boots, wore it with heels and a chunky gold necklace... It all worked! This dress was very flattering and was a perfect holiday dress to wear multiple times as a backdrop to fun jewelry and shoes, creating entirely different-looking outfits with each wear. I wish this dress was mine to keep!

Fun way to play with the fringe trend!
I wore this dress to a ladies' holiday luncheon. It fits like a classic shift dress, but I found it to be a bit on the small side. Despite being pretty form-fitting the look still felt uber classic, so I added some edge by pairing it with a black leather jacket.

Great holiday coat
I wore this coat to a pro basketball game over Thanksgiving week - it felt festive and perfectly seasonal. Was the right weight to be very comfortable on a California Fall evening, there is no lining so the felt fabric itself is the only source of warmth. I am still unsure if this coat is red/navy or red/black - it really can go either way. I rented the Medium, wish I had rented the Small as I would have preferred a more tailored fit.
