This is a unique hair pin, that adds just a little sparkle!
I'm not a fan of big accessories, and thought this was perfect to add some sparkle, but not too much bling to my hair.

The color popped, easy to move in, great length!
I rented a size 6 & 8, but found the 6 to be roomy, which was great for the event I was going to filled with good wine & food. The color stood out from the crowd, it was a classy dress, fit my tall, athletic body well!

If you're 5'10" + this isn't the dress for you
Besides being too short and looking very awkward in the sleeves because I have more of an athletic build, I was charged for this dress without being able to wear it. I went out of town for my birthday, & couldn't return it to exchange in time. I think if your tall, trying on dresses or getting a second style is a must-this is a frustrating experience if not.

Derek Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 149lbs
Bust: 34B
Cool design, slight religious combined with graffiti look that was unique!
Loved the fit of this dress, I fall between a 6 and an 8 and the M was perfect. For my height I also liked the length, which wasn't too short. And like all of the Leger dresses, the fit was snug, but because of how hot it's been in NYC lately, I was just way too warm in the dress. The material is very thick. I also noticed that when I walked for a while, the dress did ride up slightly, but not too big of a deal. The style of the dress is great though, very cool and unique, both the pattern and cut. I'd rent it again when it's cooler out!

VIP Access Dress

Gold, asymmetrical bracelet.
This was a mystery bling accessory, that I did not choose. It went ok with my Leger dress, I probably wouldn't have chosen it myself. It felt a little cheap to me, and didn't like the gold color. Felt a little too much like costume jewelry.

I absolutely loved the sequin pattern and detail of this dress. The colors are great too!
Way, way too short for my long legs. The slip just covered my butt, so I wouldn't be able to sit down without a scene, so I had to return the dress.

Sparkle bangle bracelets
This was a mystery accessory that was chosen for my dress. They're chunky, big sparkle bangle bracelets that match well with the Nicole Miller dress I wore. I'm tall with long limbs, so I thought the bracelets worked for me. I think if you're petite, they may be too much. I loved them with the dress for my bridal shower party, but when I wore the dress for a more formal dinner the next night, I didn't think the bracelets gave me the more sophisticated look I was going for.

Eyecatching
This necklace was perfect with the Leger dress I rented, because the dress was plain & low cut. I think this necklace may be too much bling if your wearing a colorful outfit, & if you're petite. I'm tall, so I felt like I carried it well. I ended up wearing only diamond studs so it wouldn't look like I was too decked out. I loved the funky style of this necklace, not at all boring or plain!

The comments I received from every woman I encountered telling me they loved my dress...
I loved the snug fit, the length is great to look mildly conservative, but still sexy. It's also thick fabric, which was nice to wear in February! I think this would be a tough dress to wear in the heat of the summer.

One time rental
I'm a tall woman-5'11", & I was happy the dress went to mid thigh, since most dresses are mini's on me. I ordered both a 6 & 8, but felt the 6 was even too roomy. I'm not sure if it's the cut, or that Micole Miller dresses run bigger. A 4 would've been ideal for me. I didn't like how the back bunched up, I prefer it more fitted. It was a sexy dress, but I don't think I'd rent it again.
