Sophisticated dress for church
I wore this to church and got lots of compliments. Perfect fit, good quality, comfortable.

Channeling myself circa 1994
This is a cute, low-key goth sort of dress that I would have loved in high school. It was a tiny bit snug and the snap at the bust gaped quite a bit, so rather than trying to fix that, I added a black cami underneath. I wore it with fishnets and high heeled oxfords for a great night out!

Just what I needed
I was afraid this dress would be a little matronly, but the low cut front and gathers on the sleeves gave the dress just enough of a fashion forward look. (It was good and low cut--I was wishing I'd worn a cami when I was sitting with my in-laws.) The fabric was soft and the construction was quality. Would rent again.

Great dress, not for the self-conscious.
I normally go for a 14, but I sized down on this one and I'm glad I did. I still had plenty of room in a 12. The fabric looks nice and the construction was good. The dress isn't lined, and even though I expect that in a designer piece I'm not going to knock it because that keeps the piece wearable in hot weather. Crucial note on fit: The combination of the pattern and the ruching create a curved line below the belly. I thought it made me look pleasantly curvy, but you might not like this dress if you're self-conscious about a round belly.

A little sheer, but so much fun.
I'm going to have a hard time returning this one! The voluminous skirt is so much fun to wear, but the understated pattern and the bow tie keep the look sophisticated. An excellent choice for sipping Palomas in the garden. It gets four stars instead of five because the fabric is a bit sheer--be mindful of the color of your undies.

Fun and sophisticated
Perfect fit, quality construction. The lining is a real sewn-in lining, not an underdress, which I appreciate. The dress looks both fun and sophisticated, which is a hard combo to find.

Tall girls and jumpsuits...what are you gonna do?
The fabric is SO SOFT! Beautifully well made and it fit like a glove except for the length. I'm 5'10", so clothes are just like that sometimes. There's a little extra strap tacked in, so I was able to wear it after I freed it.

I wore this dress for my backyard wedding.
The fabric on this dress was fantastic. The lace was rich and heavy and it showed real quality construction. The fabric was thick enough that it didn't show the lumps and bumps underneath. There is a strap on the lining, so I was also able to wear a real bra, which was nice. The color is champagne gold with a subtle sheen. It looked great with rose gold accessories and nude patent shoes.
