This "mystery" piece of jewelry added onto my order. It was something I'd never select myself.
This is a striking but simple ring. I loved it so much, I found it online and bought it to own! It's a universal size, so don't worry about fit.

A dress that matched the venue and the husband's tux
This dress is a work of art, fitting for a wedding we attended at an art museum. My mom was old-school and always told me that it is inappropriate to wear black to a wedding (suggesting mourning) though times have changed, the navy blue color of this dress fit the bill. I am 5'5" and the back of the dress definitely requires heels. The waist nips in nicely to accentuate curves in an appealing way. One other guest told me it looked like the dress had been made for me! This dress is relatively conservative but it doesn't feel frumpy or old. The embroidery and color is just exquisite. You barely need jewelry. I had rented drop earrings but ended up skipping them and wearing a necklace that followed the neckline of the dress.

Exquisite brocade, but a little unfortunate in its placement
This dress is a work of art; absolutely gorgeous. The only drawback is that the brocade pattern cuts along the bottom of any belly you have, accentuating it. (Despite loving the dress overall, no full body photos since the first one I saw horrified me!!) I recommend sizing up. It may be better for long and lean types, less so ladies with curves. It's also a little itchy with the gold thread.

Dress it up or down
I rented this for a cocktail party that got cancelled last minute, but with a great dress on hand I wore it to work anyway. Its thick fabric and fit makes it "forgiving" so it's not too tight. It's modest enough for the office, but the silver sheen and pattern make it a good dress up option. I also liked the non-traditional style that made it feel young, cute and fun, without having to be tight and plunging at the neckline.

Feeling glowing and elegant in a gorgeous dress.
This dress was beautiful, glamourous but not ostentatious. It was very comfortable. Though I am not all that tall (5'5") I felt the vertical pleats made me look longer. The waistline offers helpful definition. I loved the grecian draping of this dress, but in a warm gold/brown color that didn't make me look like I should be holding up a pillar somewhere on a temple in Greece. I fit into both the Size 6 and Size 8, but wore the larger size just because it was a little more comfortable. The length worked with a low heel, so the hemline was just above the ground.

Lots of compliments on this glowing dress!
This dress is amazing and full of sparkle. I wore it to an evening wedding and had worried a little about the "never wear white to a wedding" rule, but this dress is more cream and gold. It was absolutely beautiful and an easy fit. The length wasn't too short (the model seems pretty tall, but I am pretty average height.)
