Beautiful but it didn't fit
I love this dress and it was perfect for the gala I was attending but I ended up not wearing it. The zipper was a little difficult to get up and down and I wish it was one size bigger for comfort.

Perfect for an evening at work.
I had first tried this dress as a back up in a 14 and the fabric didn't stretch so I didn't wear it. The color was beautiful so I ordered it again in a 16 and wore it for a work dinner event. It was the perfect mix of traditional and different and the periwinkle color was WAY more fun than regular black. I got tons of compliments. Side note: you definitely need a second person to zip and unzip you in this dress. It gets stuck in the middle and was near impossible to get on and off myself.

Beautiful color!
I wanted this dress to work. It's a beautiful color, wonderful neckline and ruching in the middle. Unfortunately this dress is made for smaller people. The length was perfect and the neckline was high and adjustable with the side tie but there is NO room in the torso/bust. I'm a busty gal and there was NO way the side zipper would close. Sad! Beautiful dress though, silky fabric and fantastic color.

This is a beautiful and comfortable dress. Love the pockets.
This dress did major double, even triple duty. I wore it for a work event during the day, then got on a flight to a wedding reception and wore it at the outdoor cocktail reception. It went seamlessly from day to night with just a switch of the shoes. The belt was stiff enough to hold things in and cinch the waist without being constrictive on the plane. I loved the pockets and the lightweight fabric (it was hot in both places). The top was a bit baggy but nothing a small safety pin didn't fix, closing a maybe too deep V for a work event. Loved the pattern and the flowers, would definitely rent again, I wish I owned it!

Perfect for garden wedding
Although this dress was a big snug around my middle I made it work because I loved the cape so much. I was careful when I sat down but the color and the cape made this a fun, playful dress to wear. I got compliments all night and I felt great (but I big snug in the dress and my spanx).

So fun and sparkly
These earrings were exactly as pictured, very peacock colored and beautifully sparkly. They were also light in your ears so they didn't weigh me down. The perfect pop of color for the pink dress I wore!

I loved wearing this dress. It was comfortable and elegant.
Not knowing what would look the best I ordered the 14 and a 12. The 12 fit but the 14 was more forgiving so I went that that. The high low was amazing I felt elegant swooping up and down stairways at our venue. The pockets were an extra awesome, I put my phone and chapstick and was good to go all night.

Got as a back up
I rented this dress as a backup. I loved the navy and black color block and was excited it had long sleeves (I'm always cold). Unfortunately I got the wrong size, the fabric wasn't very forgiving around my midsection so I went with my other rental that fit better.

Great dress!
I rented this dress for a work event. It was perfect, not too dressy but fancy enough for a gala dinner. I loved the green color panel and the black was slimming. I wore this dress with spanx, it did need re-adjustment after sitting but that's my only complaint.

I rented this dress for my niece's baptism and it was perfect for the event.
The only problem I had with this dress was that the waist was a little higher than I wanted it to be and it was a bit tight in the bust. I have a large chest so an normal waist sometimes ends up looks like an empire, which is what happened with this dress. Not a deal breaker through. It is the perfect shade of creamy white, I wore it with dove gray flats. It has great movement and was warm enough to wear in a cool church in MN in February.

I ordered this dress for a mardi gras celebration dinner (also my birthday).
I loved the color of this dress, its a really vibrant, deep indigo purple-y blue. It was just as beautiful in person as it was in the picture BUT I don't think a sheath is the right dress for my shape. This dress was REALLY short, which I didn't mind but it didn't compliment my shape. I'm a little heavier in the middle and so it sort of looked like I was wearing a really pretty, fancy bag. I was sorry it didn't work out.

These are beautiful earrings, fantastic statement piece. And not heavy, easy to wear all night.
I love these earrings, I didn't want to give them back! I wore them to my sister's wedding reception, she had jewelry we all wore at church but for the reception I wanted something bigger. These were the perfect, sparkly, light-catching accessory. I got compliments on them all night.

Perfect dress for outdoor wedding.
This dress was perfect. I ordered an 8 and 10 not sure which would work. The 10 fit perfectly and the color was so vibrant.

Loved this dress but it was a bit too tight for comfort.
Definitely a dress that Spanx were invented for. I have put on a few pounds so this dress a bit too tight for comfort but it was a gorgeous dark green and the lace was just right for a summer wedding. I ordered this as a back up dress and if I had lost 10 pounds I would have felt more confident.
