Warm, comfortable, and still somewhat sexy.
This dress is made out of heavy scuba material. The long sleeves keep it warm for winter here in Chicago. Even the zipper feels like a scuba suit. Overall it fit true to size, and was appropriate for work with a touch of sexiness.

Pretty color and classic silhouette.
This dress is great looking overall, but the fabric, zipper, stitching, etc. are quite cheaply done. I like the look, but it is built like something from a cheap store or catalog.

Form-fitting and sexy, with an eclectic print.
This was my free birthday dress with my pro subscription. It was fun because it's not something I would ever buy as it can't be worn many times with its memorable design. I liked getting outside of the box with something a little "louder" and I would normally wear. This is made out of scuba fabric, and the design is screenprinted on. It's incredibly stretchy. The cut is a bit short as well.

Comfortable and cute work dress.
This is an A-line fitting three-quarter length sleeve dress with functional front pockets. It runs true to size, but the fit is very much unstructured so more of a "shift" if you will-not fitted in the waist at all. The fabric is a sturdy weave. I liked it overall.

Incredibly sexy, menswear-inspired tuxedo dress.
This is one of my all-time favorite pieces I have ever rented, and the best part is that the only reason I got it was because the option I originally chose ended up being sold out, and this was the replacement I got to pick. I wore it to a private dinner and concert in Miami that my company was hosting. Because of this I wanted it to be sexy and fun but still acceptable to wear in front of work colleagues. This fit the bill completely and had only been a back up option originally. The front slit is a bit high, and I did up pinning the neckline as well, not so much because it was incredibly low, but as others have said the only thing that holds this dress together is a single button so when you bend over the front of the dress comes down and if you don't have a lot going on to keep things in place underneath… Well… The back is a keyhole opening which adds to the sexiness.

Beautiful antique looking statement earrings.
These have a lovely aged brass color, and were quite the compliment to the dress I wore.

Classy and sexy.
The plunge neck on this dress is quite risqué, and would be a challenge for busty gals. Being smaller busted however, I really enjoy a deep plunge. it's also on the short end, but I feel like the cut and fabric still keep it classy. There is absolutely zero stretch to this fabric it is truly a heavier jacquard weave - think of sofa, or curtain fabric. It feels very expensive, and I received many complements that night.

A good, basic piece that can be dressed up, or down.
I wore this dress in the winter time so I added tights. It was professional and comfortable, and I'm sure in warmer weather it would work as well. The cap sleeve makes it kind of doable for any season.

Comfortable and versatile.
This is a comfortable, breezy dress that can double with sandals for a casual day dress or even a night out. That said, it's also acceptable for work attire. I'm a big fan of its versatility. It's the most figure-hugging which can be a good or a bad thing depending on what you're going for.

Beautiful statement earrings
These looked darker silver in some pics, but were true silver. I did not wear them because I went with pewter accessories, but would order again if I wanted a silver large statement drop earring.

I ended up going with pewter accessories, but this was a pretty stretch-style rhinestone cuff.
True silver in color, with filigree detail. Very pretty.

Chiara Boni Dresses Fit Amazingly!
This was my backup dress for the blue Chiara Boni blue "Maeli" gown. I adore red, but my sister, best friend, and fiance all liked this on me, but liked the Maeli gown better. As I mentioned in my review for the other Chiara Boni gown, the fabric is a dream. I am 5'6", and I tried this long length one on with 4" heels, which it was perfect. This too is a showstopper, and would really highlight an hourglass figure.

Phenomenal fit - Showstopper of a dress!
The cut of this dress was incredibly glamorous, and the scuba fabric fits like a dream. I ordered 38 and 40 in the regular length because the long was not available. I ended up in the 38, as the 40 wasn't necessary, though could have worked too, just with less "suck you in-ness". As you can see, with 4" heels it was still plenty long. I read another review that mentioned the long size giving you more train for extra drama. I wouldn't have minded that were it available, but I would have definitely been carrying the bottom all night then. I got numerous compliments on this dress at the wedding, and tons on social media thereafter. I needed to steam the bottom a bit upon arrival, as the fabric is tough to wrinkle, but once wrinkled (from being in the shipping bag) the wrinkles needed specific attention to get out.
