Dangly, but not obnoxious. Light and easy to wear.
Paired perfectly with my BCBGMAXAZRIA Backstory Sheath dress. I don't wear earrings during a typical week, but I had no problems keeping these in all night. They are lightweight and comfortable and dangly without being obnoxious. Would definitely rent again.

LOVE.
I absolutely loved this dress (and I am definitely a pear, so don't think you need a straight body to wear this like the other reviews have mentioned). I received SO many compliments and I felt stunning. I typically wear size 10 jeans from Express (and all Express jeans have some give to them.. but size 12 at other stores if the jeans don't have any stretch to them)... so I was worried when only size 10 was available. When the dress arrived through it fit perfectly!! It was definitely tight and form-fitting, but that made it look so great. I wore some Spanx under it, but honestly, you couldn't really tell much of a difference because this dress has a thicker material so it already acts a bit like Spanx on its own. It is very slimming. The neckline is just gorgeous. You are going to want to have your hair up so people can see this dress. You will also need either a cross back bra or strapless otherwise the straps will show through the cut-out. A beautiful beautiful dress! I paired it with AV MAX triangle/diamond gold earrings and they complimented the dress perfectly. I wish I could buy this dress!

Not as blingy as I hoped
Having not read the description very well, I expected these to be bright and shiny and blingy. This is not the case. They are bronzed, so not bright gold and I thought the gems looked dirty/corroded, but it was just the design. I should have read the description better. I didn't end up wearing them because they didn't match very well with my new dress, but they were well made and certainly not cheapy looking!

Bizarre cut. LOTS of clevage, photo is misleading.
I think the dress looked nice, but it was such a bizarre fit. I had to surprisingly size down to the 6 when I ordered an 8 because the waist fit better, but the top/straps were still too large. If I wasn't careful about my posture the straps would slip down my arm or hang very loose and look sloppy. I was also very surprised at how low cut the top was. I normally don't mind cleavage, but it was wide cut in addition to being very low.. the girls (and I'm only a B) were very "in your face" so I ended up wearing a bandeau swim top that was a light pink and I thought looked like a part of the dress. The back of the straps are sheer, so a nude bra was mostly not visible, but white or any other color was really obvious. Unfortunately, I also didn't notice until the event that this wrap dress loves to blow in the wind. As I would walk (inside or out) the layer would open up and there is NOTHING underneath or to the side. You could very easily flash everything your underwear in one brief instant. Bah. So, you have to walk with basically one arm keep the dress closed. I chose this dress because on the model it looks fairly modest while sexy and the light flowery pattern made it a great choice for a family wedding, but nope. With the cleavage and the near flashing, it was skanky. It was pretty and I think the photos turned out well, but it was hassle to wear constantly having to keep it from billowing up and keeping my shoulders back to keep the straps in place.

Really loved these earrings. Not too heavy and comfortable to wear all night.

I really liked this necklace. I barely noticed I was wearing it all night.
Beautiful, but not as sparkly as I had imagined. I got the matching earrings, but they were too much at once, so I wore the earrings for the rehearsal and this necklace for the night of. A statement necklace without being too much or annoying to wear. it was heavy so it didn't flop around when dancing, but also didn't hurt my neck after wearing it for 8 hours.
