Gorgeous, classy, and form fitting
I wore this as a bridesmaid. The bride requested that we wear any floor length black gown. I felt beyond gorgeous in this dress and received many compliments. I did have to wear Spanx, safety pin the straps, and use fashion tape on the bust line to keep it from rolling down. After those fixes though, I felt very confident.

Perfect colors and print
I adored this dress. As a warm blonde, the colors were perfect. I wore it to a beach wedding in the Dominican Republic. Only con is the long length.

Fun flair
I fit well in the size 0 but the zipper on that one was so stubborn that I did not want to risk it getting stuck. Plus the size 2 gave me more shape in the hips. This dress wouldn't be my style for any old night out, but for a Great Gatsby event, it was a fun modern hint at the 20s, and I got a lot of compliments.

Fits everything
I was very pleased with this clutch. It fits a lot and still closes even if you have stuff pushing out of the top of the clutch. I got a couple of compliments on it, but it's also simple enough to easily match a variety of outfits.

Clunky and chunky but does the trick
I needed some last minute pearls for a Great Gatsby Gala and ordered these. Not sure I like the way they fall, and I would not wear them for a non-costumed affair, but they definitely did the trick for the 1920s gala. People commented on them all night so they are eye catching.

Adorable Great Gatsby Accessory
I am useless when it comes to doing my own hair. Seriously handicapped. So I needed something that would give me some flair for a Great Gatsby Gala without requiring me to style my own hair. I just pulled my hair into a pony tail and threw this headband on, and voila. Didn't feel like I phoned it in at all!

Tight fit, and odd shoulders, but good color
I was a little self conscious about the fit around the stomach and my hips, as well as the unusual cut of the shoulders. Once I got over that, I thought it was a cute dress. I loved the color. And the shoulders really look flattering from behind, so take some over the shoulder photos!

Adore adore adore - bought them after renting
I find accessorizing very challenging and am picky about what I wear. I thought these earrings were a wonderful size for a party outfit. Not too big, but still a glamorous touch. They go well with so many outfits! I bought them after renting them because I loved them so much.

Flattering fit, very bright color
I personally prefer the teal Herve dress I've worn a couple of times because this color was a little too garish for me, but it's still a fun, flattering dress!

Went well with the dress
With a dress that needs some love at the neckline, this piece can help do the trick.

Cute print
The dress was a little bunchy rather than fitted at the bust, but overall it was cute and I felt good wearing it. The print is subtle enough to not draw stares at a formal event, but interesting when people look closely.

Didn't find the fit flattering
I thought the fit was a little strange around the arms, and it wasn't incredibly comfortable. The fabric is very stiff. I wore it, but I didn't feel gorgeous in it.

Love it so much I bought it after renting
I love this bracelet so much that after renting I actually looked it up and purchased it. I struggle to accessorize and often am super picky about what I think looks good on me. This bracelet is so easy to wear when getting glammed up. It doesn't slide around on my wrist, which is a huge pro for me since I have thin wrist bones. It's gorgeous, elegant, and lots of fun. Goes with many different outfits, and people compliment it every time.

Didn't feel like a stunner
I thought the pattern on the skirt was really beautiful, but I was disappointed by the dress. I thought the fit was a little awkward on top. I didn't feel very special in this dress.

No dress has made me feel sexier
I've rented this dress twice now. The first occasion made me feel so good about myself that I had to rent it again when I had a bachelorette party coming up. The dress is the perfect color for a blonde since it is a warm, vibrant teal. Truth be told, I wore TWO layers of Spanx under there to feel slim enough to wear the XS, but once you're in it, it gives you all the right curves in all the right places and sucks in everything else. I am not very busty and boy did this dress give me enviable cleavage. Also, I LOVE that I can wear a normal bra with this dress!!!

Lovely but wear your Spanx if you're eating Christmas dinner!
Wore this to my family's formal Christmas Eve dinner. It was so cute, the color was perfect for the holiday, and it was a respectable cut of dress that is appropriate to wear in front of your grandmother. The dress was very flattering at the beginning night, but after a huge Christmas Eve dinner, I definitely feared my food baby was making an appearance. The sizes were not actually labeled on the dresses, but I think I wore a medium (I usually wear a small).

Large but lightweight
I'm usually not one for large earrings, so I was a little nervous when I saw how big these were, but they were very lightweight and with my hair down they didn't draw too much attention.

My new nickname is Twirls
Wore this to Vegas and had a fun time! It was longer than I expected, and that was my only complaint since I wanted a shorter dress for clubbing. Obviously I'm a lot shorter than the model in the photo, so it is what it is. Unintentional modesty aside, the dress was very fun and I got a lot of compliments on it! I loved the fit on the bust and waist, I loved the sparkles, and boy does that skirt twirl (see second photo)! I wore a paste-on front-only low cut bra from Victoria's secret to allow for the dress's neckline. I normally wear a size 4, so I ordered the 4 and a size 2 as a backup, and I ended up wearing the backup size 2. The size 2 was not snug at all and even made me wonder if I could have fit in a 0. I was positively swimming in the size 4.

Great Vegas Clutch!
This clutch went perfectly with Opening Ceremony's Copper Chemical Element dress. I don't have a great collection of purses, so it was convenient to be able to add this to my dress order. Comes with a shoulder strap, but I never used it. Fit my iPhone 4S in its case, my ID and credit card, lipstick, lipgloss, and key. Did not fit my small Canon Powershot camera in addition to the phone.

Didn't end up wearing the necklace
The necklace was a lot larger than I expected. It might suit somebody, but I have dainty bones and typically wear more subtle jewelry. It was too gaudy for me and I couldn't wear it. I also didn't think it matched well with the Opening Ceremony Copper Chemical Element dress, even though it was a stylist suggestion for the dress when I was checking out.
