Statement dress
Really snug through the body, but very comfortable and flattering. The material is a bit thicker without much give, better to order a size up if you can. Sleeves are so great - wore it to a fashion show and got lots of compliments on this dress!

Conservative but sexy
This dress was wonderful. Definitely a fancier cut that works better for dinner or a party. The vertical lines are elongating and slimming. Really flattering if you don't mind a form fitting dress.

Baggy Top, and Short
I had high hopes for this dress! Thought it'd be a great option for work with a blazer but it was far too short. The seam fell in an odd place too, so if you have a small waist and bigger hips the top will probably be oddly baggy. If you're shorter than 5'-6" I'd say order a size smaller. If you're taller, it'll be pretty short.

Simple and Chic
This dress was very easy to wear from day to night. Simple lines with a slightly flared skirt and a thicker fabric.

Too short for me
Didn't wear this dress because it was super short even without shoes on. Definitely get a long if you're over 5'-6"

The back detail on this dress was GORGEOUS!
I originally ordered this as my backup, and I am SO thankful. I'm 5'7" and wore 4" heels - highly recommend you go with the "Long" if you're my height or taller.

very pretty, but large scale and HEAVY
I love the look of these earrings, but I will say they were MUCH larger than I had imagined. They're clip on - which was weird to me at first but honestly I think they would have tore my ears had they not been. I definitely found myself tossing them in my purse as soon as I got in the cab! If you're going to wear them under your hair, and for a short time - go for it! But if you're planning on an up-do or a longer event, I'd say try something else.

Form fitting, but marvelous!
I wore this dress for an Interior Design Hall of Fame dinner and the compliments were ENDLESS! I love that it's off the shoulder, so you can show off that collar bone, without feeling like you're showing too much (like maybe with a strapless). I always hesitate to wear strapless dresses, because I feel people just stare at "the girls," but this dress was absolutely perfect. It's tailored well, and the material doesn't bunch at all. Love love love!
