This was a wonderful dress! I went to a garden wedding and this dress was a hit. The voluminous skirt made it airy enough for the heat during the ceremony but not too chilly once the sun set. The pockets made it SUPER convenient so I didn't need to carry a bag with me. The dress speaks for itself so I did not add any major accessories other than sparkly shoes. The waist was quite fitted and the shoulders long for me. This was easily fixed with some pins to bring the straps up. Pinning up the straps also helped with the length of the dress. I'm about 5'1" and only needed to lift the back end of the skirt when going up stairs. The color of the dress is as it appeared on my computer. There is no give in this dress so if you think you might be between sizes I would definitely size up. I would wear this dress again and again if I could.

This was a gorgeous dress and so much fun to wear. The dress was long on me (I'm 5'1") but I didn't have a problem with it in flats. I just made sure to lift the hem while walking and swung it around while dancing. I also had a pair of 3-4" heels and the hem worked well with them. It fit comfortably but was a bit loose I think I could have sized down to a size 20 and still have been ok. I ended up using fashion tape to keep the neckline in place. I received plenty of compliments on this dress and it was perfect for the occasion.

I really wanted this dress to work. I was SWIMMING in the dress. The top is meant for someone much bustier than I (42D). I typically wear a size 22 (sometimes a 20 if I'm lucky). I believe I could have easily sized down 2 more sizes to get a better fit. The back up size 20 was also way too large. I was surprised at how off the sizing was based on comments on other dresses by the same designer. I ended up going with another back up dress. The dress is gorgeous and comes with a fun slit in the lining but the measurements are way off. It is an almost orange red.

This necklace fit perfectly and made a wonderful complement to my dress (also RTR). The only problem I had was the clasp was tricky to get by myself and there was a stone missing when the necklace arrived. However, it looked gorgeous and I got plenty of compliments. The necklace is adjustable and would work great on a variety of people.
