Pretty, feminine dress was perfect for a family gathering.
This dress was really comfortable and I received lots of compliments when I wore it for our dressy casual, family Easter gathering. I had a baby 10 weeks ago, and none of my clothes (maternity or pre-pregnancy) look good on me right now. This fit my slightly larger, softer body and made me feel cute again. Currently 5'7", 165 lbs., 36DD and the 10R fit great. I wore this with an inch wide, camel-colored belt to give my waist a little definition.

Beautiful, vintage style earrings.
Wore these earrings as a bridesmaid in my friend's daytime, outdoor wedding. Went well with my vintage lace dress and short hair. They're not huge, but make enough of a statement that I did not need to wear a necklace with them. Wish I could buy these. Highly recommended.

Not as flattering as other Herve Leger dresses.
I've worn this brand in a variety of styles, but this fit much differently than any others I have tried. It's a very snug style and I usually love clothes that hug my curves in all the right places, but this was not flattering at all. Not sure if it's the black lines or what, but it made my hips and tummy look bigger than they actually are (and I'm not typically self-conscious). More power to the girls that have posted pictures of themselves looking beautiful in this dress - I couldn't pull it off. I couldn't even bear to take a photo of myself in it. I'm typically a size 6, and the Medium barely zipped shut.

Cute and comfy dress that is a bit tricky to wear.
I am usually a Medium (or 6), but I wore this in a Small and was very comfortable. The fabric is pretty and is on the thicker side, so it worked for a spring, outdoor party. The hem does hit at a strange length on the shin as others have mentioned, but still totally wearable for me in flats. I wore it with a camel-colored belt as I wanted to give myself a more defined waist than the dress gives on its own. I felt pretty in this dress and received several compliments. A bit more styling/accessorizing necessary than I usually do, but I will be renting this again.

Cute romper for a casual spring occasion.
Super cute and comfy romper that I wish I owned. The hem was a bit short for the family picnic I was planning to wear it to, but I wore it for a day date with my husband instead. It would be great for a girls' night out too. The matching belt shown in the photo did not come with the romper, so I wore it with a braided, leather, camel-colored belt and matching leather sandals. I say that it runs large because I am generally a Medium (size 6), but fit comfortably in a small. Highly recommended and I will probably be renting this again.

Pretty dress with awkward fit.
I usually wear a 6 and got this in a Medium which felt like the right size and was comfortable. However, I ended up not wearing the dress. I really liked the way this looked in photos, but did not care for it on myself. The fabric looked cheap to me - and I am not generally a snob about this sort of thing. The tie in the middle hit low on the waist (more like high on the hips), which made me look heavier around the middle than I actually am - not flattering at all. Sorry that I didn't take a photo to be more helpful.
