Overall, I liked the dress though I had hoped for something with some more pop of color, this dress seemed to be the best for the time of year and what we were doing based on availability. I jazzed it up with some colored leggings and jacket. I finished it off for a cold evening out with some black boots and black infinity scarf. The one thing I did not like about this dress is that the piece of material that sits on the top of your shoulder before it transitions to the arm seemed small. I was sort of worried about it falling off my shoulder. I think it ended up being fine with the back clasp and tension from the zipper but not sure how it would do for a night of dancing. I also rented the Emerald Nouveau Drops which were recommended for finishing off the dress but chose some other jewelry I already had instead to complete the look. The earrings were pretty but just didn't work with my final outfit and other jewelry picks. Pros: Thick material, helps give you a nice shape and kept me warmer on a colder evening Cons: Slightly longer than I would like being shorter in stature but not terrible and this wouldn't limit me from getting another Herve

Overall, I was surprised by the fit. I wore a 0 Mischka Badgley dress previously which was great and based on the reviews relative to my stats, I thought the XS would be great. There was only one size left and so I had no back up to compare to but wondered if the S would fit better. As I was out of town when I got the dress, I improvised and wore a black strapless bra/slip combo that I brought for another dress which made me feel better about the fit. I also wore black leggings and black boots as I was in NYC and wore it out at night as it was very cold. This worked out well to look good, keep me warm, and when the dress rode up, it just showed the slip. If you can get an XS and S, it is probably worthwhile just to make sure you are comfortable with the fit. It worked out well but really glad I had these other items on-hand. I wore this to a broadway show and then afterward to a speakeasy and it was perfect for both environments. Pros: Very delicate features and material, very pretty Cons: Bottom tight, rides up, dress had some wear to it (threads popping out)
