I wound up returning this and choosing a new dress. I love lace but this was stiff and itchy. The dress was cut awkwardly (or maybe it's just my body) and therefore didn't fit quite right. It was loose in the wrong places, tight in even worse places. Not flattering on me at all but might work for others.

Lovely simple cuff for those who don't like (over) accessorizing. Comfortable to wear - didn't pinch or feel too loose. Almost forgot I was wearing it.

Pockets!!! Good ones, too. That's basically all you need to know. But it's also a great cocktail dress - form fitting but easy to move. The length of the skirt is perfect and even features some swish. The detail bodice received a lot of compliments. I felt very classy.

The light color of the stone paired with the soft gold accents makes this a nice ethereal statement piece. Perfect for those who don't like to (over) accessorize but want one thing that stands out and completes an outfit.

This dress showed me what my curves are capable of. I've never felt comfortable wearing form fitting clothing because I'm a bit on the thick side. Not anymore! I've fully embraced the glory of the thick and it's all because of this dress and of course some wide-eyed stuttering from my husband. This dress is made from sturdy material and so it doesn't cling unflatteringly to softer bodies. It even does a nice job masking cellulite. The length is just right and the long sleeves keep you warm and comfortable on cooler spring or autumn nights. I once wore it dressed down with camel booties and a leather jacket. I'm constantly looking for this dress on sale because I'd love to have it as a permanent LBD in my closet.

This dress is everything. Form fitting, elegant neck detail and swishy skirts. I felt confident. The material was easy to move in - danced all night! I received a ton of compliments on the design and fit especially paired with an up-do to show off the interesting back. Ladies - don't hesitate. This is the dress you've been looking for. I'm dying for another reason to wear it again. Anyone need a date to their next formal event? ;)

This was my backup dress so I didn't actually wear it to the event. I did try it on and I felt like a queen. It's conservative but playful and feminine. I definitely would've felt confident wearing this option if my first choice had not been absolutely breathtaking. (Theia - Black Cover of Darkness Gown)
