Military Ball
It was comfortable, the draping was lovely, and I could move in it easily.

It was a great wedding.
For me, this dress was a little short. The fit was good but I would have liked a little more length in the skirt.

I wore this with a white suit jacket for my son's baptism.
Overall, I liked the color and the neckline. The dress was a little too short for me - I generally prefer things that come to the knee. I also think I would have preferred a bit more structure - in the pictures it looked like it had some structure, but it's really just a sheath dress. It was fine and it worked, but not one of my favorites.

The color of this dress is amazing and the fit is fantastic!
I loved this dress. It was smidge loose in the waist, but for an afternoon in the upper 80s in coastal Georgia, it was perfect (no fabric sticking to me). I got several compliments on the dress. The lace gives it some femininity but isn't overpowering (I usually feel like Great Aunt Mildred in lace, but not with this dress).

Loved these for a beach wedding.
Rented these for a beach wedding and they were quite nice. They are lighter than you might expect and a nice statement piece without being too much. I will probably rent these again!

Too small and a little too chunky.
I was going to a beach wedding, so I had hoped that this would be a great piece. For me, bracelet didn't quite close (I have a larger-than normal wrist). I could have gotten away with it, except that the metal is fairly heavy and thick - so if the bracelet doesn't close completely, it just doesn't work. Overall, it would be a nice piece for someone with slim wrists and forearms.

Nice, sparkly, not enough movement.
Based on the photo, I thought these would be earrings where the different "strands" were independent. Instead, it is one solid piece of metal. They are still sparkly and pretty, but didn't quite have the movement I was hoping for.

Generally nice, but a bit loose.
The front is chic and nice. Overall it was a bit looser than I had expected. Generally this wasn't too bad, but unfortunately for me at least, I had a huge amount of extra fabric in my lower back - literally about 6 inches! - which really messed with my silhouette. Also, it has a very slight train; it's lovely, but if you're going to be dancing a lot, it may get in the way.

Very pretty, but couldn't get it over my hand.
Very pretty, but couldn't get it over my hand. I'm not petite, but my hands aren't abnormally large or anything. But the styling was nice - a little bling, but subtle. Wish it had gone on!

Rented for family photos.
The dress was very fresh - just a bit of texture and interest, but still demure. It fit beautifully and looked great in person and in the photos. A few reviews said that it was too short, but it hit right at the knee for me. Really loved it and would rent it again.

I rented these (along with a dress) for family photos.
They are just gorgeous - a lovely pop of gold and color. There is a little bit of sparkle, but it's not overwhelming. Even with my hair down, these still stood out and had a sophisticated feel without being "blingy".

This was a banquet at a professional conference.
Loved the dress - I tend to be hard to fit, but this dress showed off my curves without clinging to them and wasn't too snug in my problem areas. An all around great fit for a curvy gal. Got tons of compliments and felt sophisticated and at ease all evening. It was just enough oomph to make me feel great, but not too much for a professional event.
