Wonderful dress with flattering fit, perfect for mimosa brunch!
The fit is true to size, at least for my curvy form. Just beware - it's short, especially when you sit! Sit cautiously!

Nothing like Oscar to make an impact on that special occasion!
The earrings were definitely statement pieces, and I wanted something that really made an impression for my anniversary. I rented these along with an Elie Tahari gown and they went wonderfully together. I was surprised at how heavy the earrings were, but the clips were actually really comfortable. I can see where wearing them for a long time could be unpleasant, but I didn't find them too tight, and I also didn't feel like they were going to fly away at any moment.

Beautiful and form flattering, just a little warm for a Hawaii summer evening!
I was pleasantly surprised that the dress fit as well as it did. I never know after seeing them on the models, because I am certainly nowhere near as skinny as they are, but I was very pleased with the fit. The only complaint I have is that the dress is a little heavy - you'd figure a sleeveless dress would be comfortable, but it was just a little bit warm for the Hawaii humidity. All things considered, though, it was the perfect dress for a wonderful evening.

I was honestly disappointed with this piece and did not wear it with my dress.
I originally wanted to pair this piece with a bright pink dress for a spring brunch - I like the combination of hot pink and turquoise right now and it seemed like it would be a great pairing. However, the piece looks very different in person from the picture. I expected something a little more solid and polished, not cheap plastic that looks like I fished it out of my niece's dress up kit.

A gorgeous bright spring dress perfect for any occasion formal or informal, even a beach brunch!
Absolutely loved this dress. It took me a little while to get over how bright it actually is {the colors in the photo aren't saturated or enhanced!} but once I convinced myself to get out of my comfort zone a little, I'm really glad I wore this dress. It fits a little on the loose side, which I'm actually really glad for - I could wear the smaller size sent to me, but I went with the larger size since I was going to an Easter brunch, and didn't have anything to worry about. I would rent this one again, but it's so bright and memorable, I'll have to get something new for next time! :)

A pretty simple dress with enough lace detail to still make it a head turner
This dress fit a lot more snugly than I was expecting. Even with the larger size, I still had a hard time fitting into it. There really isn't a lot of give, and the cut is for a woman who is, ahem, much less curvy than I am. Still, the dress was beautiful and was a wonderful accent to my date night.

I was expecting the cuff to be more solid than it actually was - I was afraid I'd break it.
It was pretty enough, but it looked a lot cheaper in person than it did in the picture, and I was afraid I was going to break it. I ended up not wearing it with my outfit.

The perfect dress for a surprise date - dressy enough and fun enough for any occasion!
The dress is designed to have a loose fit, so even though I marked "true to size" it actually fits a bit large - but it's supposed to. The fit isn't immediately flattering to the hourglass shape (it over accentuates), so you have to play a bit with the gathered waist to make it look like it fits properly. It's also really short, hence the black tights in my picture!

In one of NYC's prime dining spots, the maitre d' stopped me to tell me how beautiful my dress was!
I was worried the dress would be small so I got two sizes, but I found this dress true to size. Just because of my shape, it was a little tight in the bust and loose in the waist (it didn't nip in the way it does on the model, but since I don't have her figure either, I won't complain!) but I was very pleased with it, and so was my husband!
