Sexy Chic
Great dress for a low key night on the town. Sexy yet conservative. The open lace and higher hemline give an added allure, but the long sleeves keep it modest (and warmer).

Great CLIP ON earrings
These earring are just as gorgeous in person as they are pictured. However - and I blame the fact that I probably didn't read as closely as I should have - they're CLIP ONs. Because I have very little experience with clip on earrings, and because I was attending a sure-to-be-wild 30th birthday party, I left them at home.

Disappointing
I've had this dress on my "Must Rent" list for ages. Unfortunately, I was never able to wear it. Problem No. 1: The lining of the dress ends just below the butt and the zipper runs the entire length of the lining. It. Is. TINY... with no stretch. I am a Size 2 in almost every brand. Even the Size 4 wouldn't zipper over my butt. I am the definition of straight and narrow; I have no curves. Problem No. 2: Even if I WERE able to wear it, it would have to be steamed. The dress comes packaged up with the tulle rolled into itself. Read: To get the look of the dress as pictured, it would require a professional steaming. Not a bad thing; just something to consider if you are renting.

Definition of Statement Necklace
This necklace is all that is needed to amp up any outfit. I paired it with the Nha Khanh dress for my low key winter rehearsal dinner. It pulled in the gold of the wedding colors and added a little something to the otherwise plain dress. It was a lot larger than I expected; however, it wasn't bulky or heavy. Easily wore it all night.

Classy Dress that Photographs Perfectly
This dress was perfect for my low key winter rehearsal dinner. With the long sleeves, defined waist, and ducktail, this dress was incredibly comfortable and flattering. Make sure you check the dress when you get it. The sleeves have zippers (completely unnecessary); a few of the zipper teeth were unhinged and poked/cut into my arm. I'm usually a size 2; however, due to the dress malfunction, I was forced to wear the spare size, 4. It was a little big, but worked just fine.

Best Deal EVER!
If you attend more than two events a year, you NEED this! I got my money's worth after two rentals. Now, I actively look for excuses to rent as the price I see is the price I pay - no insurance or shipping add-ons. I LOVE IT! I'm sure I'll have even more good things to say once I get my birthday dress. Cannot wait!

Statement Earrings - Absolute stunners
These earrings were amazing! I paired it with the Slate & Willow silver lace dress. Received so many compliments. They are a lot larger than they appear; however, were not too heavy. Was able to wear them all night with no irritation. Loved them and would definitely rent again!

Sexy in Silver for my Bachelorette Party!
My friends planned an amazingly memorable bachelorette party for me in Chicago. They are fabulous! With them all in white, this silver Slate & Willow stunning made me the center of attention. The dress runs true to size, and if you're like me, you can enjoy the exposed back without a bra cutting across the geometric structure. This dress is a lot darker than it appears in photos. It's more of a dark silver/gray. Still, it was absolutely stunning and surprisingly comfortable.

Love this dress. Felt comfortable and confident. Versatile and fits with any dress code.
The reviews were right; it runs small. With the fitted waist and no zipper, I would recommend sizing up. The small fit, but it was difficult to get on and off. Also, make sure you have a safety pin to tame the billowy top.
