This dress was glamorous but I could move, the perfect combination
I was terrified this wouldn't fit, but it zipped right on up. The 6L was a little bulky and the 4L bunched a bit on the back along the zipper but I went with the 4. The zipper was a little messed up but once we it it up you couldn't tell. The lining is tight, so that could be a major fit factor for some. Looking at pictures, I was worried this dress would be a little momish (hot mom, but still mom) but it was fun and perfect for my sorority formal. It's simple, but the sequins are high impact. I wore gold studs and a couple gold bangles with black heels and it was great.

These earrings are a lot
These earrings are a serious statement piece. You'd have to be wearing a very simple dress in order for these babies to not completely overwhelm your look. I ended up not wearing them because I underestimate just how big they were. I also had two "left ear" earrings so they weren't really symmetrical, a little odd. They are darker in person than in the photos, with a more evident black wash in the grooves. They are heavy (not surprising) and loud. All that metal jangles whenever you move and it creates quite the din. They're a lot of fun, but also have a lot going on. Definitely a major statement piece.

Lovely, but small
This dress was beautiful, soft and flowing on the bottom, and fit and structured on the top. However, I was a good 3 inches away from getting it zipped up around my torso. It runs small. I'm a big 4, but a pretty steady 4 and there was no way this dress would fit. The skirt is much more forgiving than the bodice. It's essentially a wrap skirt, with the gathered bit on the hip hooked on and snaps along the waist line. This dress was regal and stately but seemed to be missing a spark. Lovely dress, but not not very playful.
