Looks great but definitely "shrunken"...
Looks really good nice. I wore this with a black dress to tour a facility and meet and greet new staff. Nice fabric, nice fit, but don't think about zipping it up unless you size-up! It looked great just open over my dress, so it was no problem, but it definitely had a "shrunken" appearance as though perhaps I need a larger size. The sleeves were great and the back wasn't tight at all, so my guess is that is simply the cut and style intended. Great and versatile piece as long as you aren't bothered by the "shrunken" look!

Perfect office dress
Absolutely love, love, love this dress so much I bought it. I threw on a black and white tweed blazer with it and it looked perfect for work that day, and dressy enough for cocktails with staff afterwards. The neckline (zero cleavage showing) and hemline (just below the knee) are both absolutely perfect, and the slit in the back (mid-thigh) keeps it just a little sexy. The perfect little black dress for office-to-cocktails.

Cute...
I wore this with a long-sleeved, high neck LBD and rented it because it was one of the only gold statement necklaces available on my rental date. I am not a big fan of costume jewelry, and in person, this appeared a little on the brassy side for me. But I wore it nonetheless and received compliments on it. IF I am going to wear costume jewelry, I want it to look EXPENSIVE... And this was sort of on the fence for that... It didn't take my breath away, but it did the statement neckless job I needed it to and added a bit of an edge to my LBD that definitely made me stand out among the other LBD's matched with pearls.

New Years Eve-worthy!
Wore these with a Nicole Miller black-tie gown for a New Years Eve party and they were perfect. Really comfortable all night long. These earrings were perfect statement pieces to glam up my look.

New Years Eve
I wore this to the New Years Eve party at a yacht club and it was perfect. There is actually a slit up the back that I didn't realize was there, but with the cold New England weather that night, I actually wore stiletto black suede boots to keep my legs warm and it looked good. I'm 5'4, wore 3-inch heels, and the 2R was about an inch too long, which I taped at the last minute. But the dress looked great. As a D, the neckline showed just enough but not too much and required no adjusting all night long. The fit was flattering, the sequins had just the right amount of sparkle, and the capped sleeves were perfect for a winter black-tie event!

Loved this dress... I wore it for a country club's anniversary party and it was perfect. Country club conservative at dinner yet fun on the dance floor later that night. Perfect size and length. I would definitely rent this again!

Valentine's Day Dinner
This was really cute but the embroidery and material makes it appear more casual in person than in the photo. I wore this to Valentine's Day dinner with my husband with black hose and black suede knee-high boots. The ensemble was cute and not too dressy for a semi-casual dinner at a restaurant. It is EXTREMELY fitted. I usually wear an XS, and it fit fine, but was very tight. The material is thick enough to smooth out problem areas, and fit the occasion well.

Gorgeous but painful!
I am not sure I have ever worn clip earrings but got these to wear with a LBD to make it a little more interesting. Really, really gorgeous! I wore them two nights in a row to different events because I loved them so much. But by the second morning? My earlobes were swollen, purple, and itching to the point that I could not wear post earrings for several weeks! If you are used to wearing clip earrings and can do so without a reaction, I would highly recommend these. But, if you aren't...be prepared to spend awhile letting your lobes recuperate from these tight, heavy earrings!

Cute!
Wore this to a birthday party/concert. I needed something more casual than a dress but more fun than pants and this was perfect. I WISH it had looked on me like it does on the model, but it didn't. As a D, the top gave me A LOT more cleavage than is shown in the picture and made it seem much more low-cut. It wasn't unwearable but the different fit made it not look as nice as I had imagined.

Nice statement piece!
I'm not a huge fan of costume jewelry and don't really wear rings like this, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Got this as an accessory with a pair of statement earrings and it looked great. It turned out, I could not get the post of the earrings in my ears so this was my only piece of jewelry, and it looked great! Not sure it's a style I'll try again personally, but if you like statement costume-type jewelry, it's a nice piece!

Gorgeous!
I LOVED this dress, but it gave me more cleavage than I expected. The nude lining is not nearly as stretchy as the dress itself and was pushing my girls together to the point I had cleavage to my collarbones! At the last minute, I made a make-shift adjustment and took off the top part of the lining and instead of wearing it, tucked it into my nude bra. The slip was tight enough elsewhere to stay up all night light that without sliding and with my own bra, the dress fit great on top. The XS was the right size for me, and I will definitely keep this in mind for another occasion- but will wear my own nude slip underneath.

Gorgeous!
Great dress! Wore this to dinner with friends. Has stretchy panels in the top so it had a great fit. The neckline was nice even on my 34D bust. Bottom, however, is not stretchy and does ride up a bit when sitting down...minor detail, though, for an overall great dress! Elegant, fun, classy.
