Sparkle!
Got this as a backup for NYE and regrettably it didn’t fit properly. The dress is gorgeous and just that bit of fun that would have been perfect. Unfortunately it didn’t fit this long torso properly, was a smidgen too tight, and the skirt looked just a bit too poofy for me to feel comfortable. I would recommend sizing up in this dress. I hope that you enjoy the sparkle!

Just a tad short….
Loved the color of this dress and wanted it for New Years Eve. Regrettably was unable to wear as it was just a tad short and would have flashed everything with the front. Also I’ve a long torso so the silhouette was just a smudge off. I hope that you enjoy this, as I’m sad that I wasn’t able to.

Wear the dress!
Wore this for my birthday and loved the sparkle! Typically wear a small but definitely size up as this does run small. Wore the medium and it was perfect. Dress length made my legs look amazing and endless. The hem stayed in place and did not crawl. Loved the deep back that added just a touch of sass to a classic silhouette.

Loved but just too small!
Excited to ware for a masquerade but the dress was extremely small and I sized up to a 4 based on reviews. I’m 5’6” - 118lbs and the overall fit was just too tight- returning and will hope to rent at a larger size in the future…

Perfection.
This dress is a must for everyone one time or another. Wore this to opening of this season symphony and it couldn't have started off on a better note. This dress is stylish classical and chic. The illusion lace on sleeves, neck and back add a bit of modern edge to what could potentially be another classic black dress. This dress was warm and extremely comfortable. I wore 3 1/2" heels and the dress floated elegantly to the floor. Wish I could buy this one!

Get ready to sparkle!
First if you don't want attention do not wear this dress. Wore this as a birthday dress this year and the beautiful copper color of the dress is without par. Usually I am a size small but have found with all of the sequin dresses to definitely size up. This dress is extremely comfortable and surprisingly warm in spite of the V back and hemline. Just remember to bend at the knees not of the hips with this dress. Minimal jewelry needed for this ensemble.Can't wait for another sparkly evening!

Showstopper!
Wore of this dress for a Madrid Agra's masked fundraiser. Couldn't have picked a better dress. (The photographer literally chased me down to take my picture.) It is an absolutely amazing beautiful teal color with a sassy one leg structure without being to avant-garde. I chose to wear at the 2L as I loved the idea of a swishy train and The bodice fit more comfortably than a zero. Certainly comfortable enough to dance tonight away. Rent and enjoy!

Prepare for endless compliments...
Wore this dress for a symphony fundraiser in the month of February. Perfect dress for the occasion! Classic and elegant with a bit of pop in the red color and sass with the one shoulder - extremely warm in 30° weather which was perfect for this indoor/outdoor event. Highly recommend this dress for anyone especially in light that it has pockets! A serious show stopper that you will not regret renting.

Sophisticated yet sassy...
This was a back up dress but am so happy to receive it- the sheer panel front/illusion is elegant and tastefully done. Wore to Orchestra/ Renee Fleming concert and it was definitely one of a kind. Challenge in zipping it by yourself, Note- I wore with Nu-Bra - so watch the center clasp so it doesn’t peek through... this is especially important if you are solo zipping. Other challenge- be cognizant of leaning over to shake hands- I spent the evening bending my knees rather than hips just as a preventive measure so that I didn’t unintentionally show too much. Overall thrilled with this, it was comfortable and had many compliments.

Classic yet modern....
Great dress- this was my back up dress when the original didn’t ship- was a bit bummed as I didn’t realize that it was sent until after it shipped- regardless loved the dress. The dress fit like a dream and I received a ton of compliments; wore this for a New Year’s Eve masquerade, so I added elbow length gloves to finish the ensemble with the mask. If you’re like me and doing the solo dressing routine be sure that you try it on BEFORE your event. Difficulty with this dress was the zipper- trying to get it zipped through the beading detail will definitely try your patience- therefore I’m glad I tried it a day before to know what to work though. The beading on the 0L was missing a bit and loose on the front edge but nothing noticeable on the missing beading and nothing a good tack job wouldn’t overcome. Looked amazing and bonus it has pockets! Only sad note was I saw someone else in this same exact dress... thank goodness she was on the other side of the hall but seriously what are the chances?!?

Amazing dress!
Loved this dress.. definitely ran small. I usually wear a 0 and wore the 2 but should have tried a 4. I have 17" shoulders that usually call for one size above what my bust calls for...My bad for not believing the reviews...lesson learned! The 2 was extremely snug but the compliments... amazing; one of the more unique dresses present and the color is gorgeous! No necklace necessary and simple earrings- let the dress (and you) speak for itself! Wore this to a Cattle Barons Ball and it hit all the right notes... a few things.. do not plan on raising your arms on this dress, it will not happen. Had to have my date shut the car door because I couldn't reach it. There is a serious shadow caused by the lace on the skirt that appears as if you can see your unmentionables. Rest assured that you cannot and it's all about the lighting and again shadows. Also make sure that you bend at the knees and not at the waist... Overall loved this dress and wish I had a full length picture to share...

First impression- yes!
Okay first let me say that this is an amazing dress and I was VERY happy with it. It is a classically stunning dress and as I received numerous compliments and I could not be happier. That being said a few things: this runs VERY small. I'm usually a 0 and wore the 2 instead. In actuality I should have gotten the 2 and 4 as the 2 fit well but was VERY snug. Also- you need help zippping this up. I wiggled this up but it would have been more comfortable to have someone zip me in. Lastly, do NOT plan to drive in this dress. This is a passenger only dress and I still don't know how I managed to get in and out of the car three times and drive. (I am woman! 😉) Overall a great dress and when you hear someone say that you stopped their thoughts... well it's all worth it isn't it?

Compliments all night!
Fantastic dress- first time ever using this system. Wore this the President's Box at a sporting event and had nothing but compliments all evening. (Sorry I don't have a full length photo!) Ordered both a 0 & 2. Size 0 was perfect- I'm 5' 6" and the hem line was exactly where it needed to be. Not to short as to look questionable but just short enough to make my legs look amazing. Paired with black pumps and simple jewelry- a classic look with a hint of pizzazz. My only regret is that I can't wear it for the same function! Totally recommended.

Fantastic dress!
Really enjoyed this dress- ordered both a 0 and 2 for Easter. The 0 was a perfect fit for cocktails however with a 3 yo niece running about the 2 was the better option (esp. with my shoulder width.). Such a fun dress with the full skirt. I would recommend remembering bending at the knees not the waist with this dress...
