Cute but not great for petites
I loved the fit and it was flattering, but it was kind of big- it didn't matter too much because it was cold the few weeks I had it at home and I was wearing sweaters, etc. It's too long for sure, so I kind of felt weird in it when it was closed/buttoned. It came down below my knees, and I think it's supposed to hit at mid thigh.

First anniversary dinner at a gorgeous formal restaurant in Bermuda :)
This dress is beyond comfortable, packable, breathable, flattering, and looked amazing right out of my suitcase- I wondered for a while what the big deal is with Missoni, but now I know. The quality is unbelievable, and the color, fit, construction, and fabric knit are all worth their price tag once you see this dress in person. My only cautions: 1) I ordered the 40 (US size 2, I think) and it was too big in the shoulders/arms/chest, so I had to keep pulling it up in front and checking to cover my bra on the sides and under my arms. It wasn't very fitted on the bottom, either. I don't know if the 38 (US 0) would've fit better, but I thought Missoni would run small so I didn't get a backup size. I'd order a size down if you're short and/or small chested. 2) I couldn't tell the front from the back of the dress, so I had to look at pictures on RTR to see it on the model. Maybe I'm just a novice, or maybe I was having a moment of idiocy, but the lining inside the knit overlay is cut the same way front vs. back and the tag is sewn into a side seam. Anyway, crisis averted. This was one of my favorites so far- I LOVED this dress and I'd definitely rent Missoni again!

Light, sparkly, pretty for dressing up simple outfits
They are very light and comfortable to wear. But, they are a little bigger than I expected... so they weren't super versatile. I almost always wear studs because my ears are small, so dangling/heavy earrings don't work very well for me- but it was hard to wear these with casual outfits because of their size on my ears. Maybe they are a little less imposing on people who have normal ears :) Other than that, they are so pretty and worked great to dress up simple pieces for nights out on my vacation!

Made simple outfits look super special on vacation
I wore this with 2 different dresses on vacation, and it was easy to dress up and down. It's really light too, so it was comfortable and easy to carry on in my luggage. I loved it, and for $5 you can't beat it! I'd love to buy this necklace :)

Not what I expected
I don't know why I thought the fur would be finer, like feathers, but it was very puffy and had a lot of white mixed into the black. The bag is beautiful and great quality, just not my taste. I didn't end up using it.

It was my mystery bling-very pretty and in great shape! Only mystery bling I've ever liked!
Only drawback was how hard it was to get it untangled after taking it out of the shipping bag/box. Huge plus was how easy it is to wear ivory and gold- flattering and versatile :) very cute dressed up or down- and this can have a jeweled vibe, funky vibe, or natural vibe depending on how you're dressed. Very cute, I'd rent/buy.

Really pretty and fabulous quality silk. Arrived with tags!
This top is a great color and it was super flattering on my short torso; it defined my waist and it was comfortable, and I got compliments all day. I wore it with ankle length jeans and it was dressy but still worked at a semi-casual holiday party.

Too big :(
Rented for my rehearsal dinner in the winter, but couldn't wear it. I'm petite and expected this to be long/tea length, but it was huge! I am pretty well proportioned even though I'm short, so I can get away with normal length dresses since my arms/legs make up for my height and torso being the worst culprit for my height. If I were taller this dress would have been my JAM. It is beautiful. Bummer.

Not for petite peeps :(
I rented this for my winter rehearsal dinner, and it was beautiful and really well made. I loved it, but it was way too long and just too large overall. I'm only 5'1 and kind of petite, but I'm proportioned so I took a chance on it with really high heels- some dresses work out ok if they're fitted enough and I don't always need petite sizes with tall shoes because it's mostly my torso that's the issue. From the back, the hemline made me look like a little kid and the overall fit was really baggy. Sad face. But this dress would have worked in a zero maybe? Or a petite size? Or on a tall friend!

Compliments all night at my rehearsal dinner !
Was a little bit big, should have ordered the next size down. Very comfortable though. Even though I'm short, it hit right at my knees and length was great with heels. Fabric was stretchy but forgiving and flattering, and my wedding/rehearsal was in the winter and this kept me pretty warm. I got tons and tons of compliments, and one of my bridesmaids ended up renting this dress for her mom's wedding later in the year she loved it so much!
