Perfect with a long elegant gown
Beautiful earrings that look great in photographs and were perfect with the Nicole Miller Living a Dream dress shown in the picture. They are pretty heavy, though, so I ended up taking them off towards the end of the wedding reception.

Looks like a $10K designer gown
I wore this dress to an evening wedding and received many compliments! It is elegant and flattering, and truly looks like a designer gown. Some of the younger (i.e. high school-aged) guests started a rumor that I was wearing a $10,000 dress!! As other reviewers mentioned, I had a hard time flattening out the lace detail at the top but it was not a big deal. I did not have any issues with the boning as others did. The length could have been a bit longer (I am 5'7.5" and wore 3.5" inch heels and the dress was almost too short). The dress is fitted (as are many Nicole Millers) so with a backup size I would select a size larger.

Cute
I rented this dress for a baby shower and although it was very cute, it was too short on me (I'm 5'7.5") - I should have noticed from the picture. Also it was a bit more casual than I'd hoped - would've been perfect for a night out with my husband, but I needed to dress up more for my event. Material is very thick and you can wear a regular bra, which is a plus!

Gorgeous Dress!
I rented this dress for a baby shower and it was perfect. The colors are vibrant (as pictured) and the embroidery was lovely. The fitted waist and A-line skirt are extremely flattering. Also you can wear a regular bra! Got a ton of compliments on this dress and I would definitely wear it again!!

Gorgeous dress! I wore it to a friend's wedding and got tons of compliments. For me it was very fitted through the hips/rear but I wore spanx and it looked and felt beautiful.

There is only one word to describe this dress: frumpy. I am usually between a 4 and a 6 and the size 4 looked huge on me due to the amount of fabric. I agree with another reviewer that this dress looked like a tent. I could not wear it as planned.

Pleat Perfection Dress
HALSTON
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
This dress was very pretty, however I could not wear it. The back is extremely low and I experienced some side boob creep on the side without the strap. I'd planned to wear this to a rehearsal dinner but decided that it showed too much skin to be comfortably worn in front of family. (I am usually between a 4 and a 6 and the 4 definitely did not fit in this style.)

This dress is gorgeous. However, I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it was VERY short (to the point that I had to wear black tights in order to sit down). I am 5'7 1/2".
