Romantic and timeless
Like others, I had to "tape" up the neckline for the nature of the event. It was also more flattering for me taken up a couple inches and worn with a bra. I love the art nouveau pattern, good on an hourglass figure, and was modest without being boring for a multi-generational event, once the neckline was addressed.

Playfully glamorous
They are large and they didn't feel very secure. I was worried the backing were come off and I would lose them, but it never happened. Went great with the Nicole Miller white floral lace riffle dress.

Easy to wear and special without stealing the show.
Not something I would normally wear, but I got a ton of compliments. It was a tad tight in the waist (I do not do sit ups), but I just added an elastic hair tie to the elastic loop to give me an extra inch of give on the button you wrap and attach to. The material is nice enough but doesn't standout as being super high quality, so it's nicer to rent than to buy. Perfect for a casual birthday party with dancing. I love the back.

Matron chic
Accessorizing is important on this one. On the hanger it kind of looks like an apron. But in an interesting way. I added a wide, tasseled, black leather wrap belt, green alligator skin peep toe pumps, and a moto jacket and had a lot of fun wearing it.

Embroidered Ruffle Dress
RED Valentino

Beautiful colors and embroidery makes for a subtle standout.
Nice quality. I wore it with black skinny jeans for an all ladies birthday party, but great on it's own for date night. I was totally unable to zip or unzip without help, although it wasn't too tight around my rib cage. It just doesn't glide easily for having such a small zipper pull. It was a little tight in the armholes, but not noticeable. Lots of compliments.

Casual chic.
As others have said, this dress has a lot of fabric which is tightly gathered at the neck and makes for a full dress. That's kind of the look and it's balanced by the belt and open back. I sized down and got the medium, but I'm not sure the large would have been bad. I think all the gathered fabric is what makes it a little interesting. Super easy to wear. I didn't find the belt at first as it was in a little black that at the bottom of a big pocket in the garment bag.
