The perfect blend of sexy + classy.
I loved this dress. The material just oozes "expensive", and it is such a unique piece. It fit as expected, and I was comfortable all night long.

Who doesn't want to dress like Michelle?
Definitely a dress fit for a first lady. It's unique, yet classy. However, I was surprised at the material. I thought it would be a heavier brocade, but it was more flimsy than I expected. I'm not complaining, it was quite comfortable for an early summer wedding in Colorado. I think this dress would best suit someone taller. The skirt is lengthy and the bodice was long as well. If you have a petite frame, this dress will not be the best choice for you.

Fantastic Sparkle!
The material of this dress was a lot more flimsy than it looks in the pictures, although it is still very pretty. However, I think this dress has been rented so often that it is getting a little worn. The paint was coming off the zipper and there were some fly-away strands of thread throughout the dress. There was something about the fit in the waist that wasn't right on me. It was too tight around my actual waist, so I ended up adding a belt to hide the ill-fitted mid-section. I had to wear my back-up size and although the waist felt small, I was swimming in the top. Of course no one noticed but me, but I did find it uncomfortable. I am very "hippy" with a relatively small bust, so this problem might not be had by all...

These earrings are perfectly ostentatious!
The perfect statement piece. They're way lighter than they look, but they're so big that they were inevitably a little uncomfortable by the end of the night. I held mine in place by a little clear earring stopper and was good to go! They looked ah-mazing with the Lela Rose Galaxy Tweed. It pulled the exact same green from the dress. Love.

A magical dress, full of whimsy and detail.
This dress is elegant and unique, but what makes it extra special is it's bit of whimsy. A little hidden forest is buried within the print of this dress. If you look closely at the front print, you can see the face of a wolf. There is a little owl hidden near the hem. My favorite part is on the back, which is...a cow. It's not super noticeable, but makes the dress super fun. I loved it.

I paired this dress with a vintage FAO Schwartz purse for my graduation from The New School.
For some reason, I decided in my mind that the white part of this dress would be cotton. When it arrived, it was the same as the crepe on the bottom. This made the top pull a bit more than I would have liked...consider a size up, or taping the girls. However, I did get a ton of compliments, especially with the asymmetrical hem being the hot look for summer. Turquoise accents really make it pop.

This summer, I married my friends, who were high school sweethearts. This was my Reverend attire.
I cannot even begin to explain the neckline of the dress: intricate, luxurious, simply STUNNING. The dress is very obviously expensive and well worth it. I found it to fit tts, with no wiggle room. The material is thick and has NO stretch. I would get your back up in a size larger. However, due to the lining, you can get away without Spanx.
