Ornate and Chic!
This dress is intricately detailed with lace and the color is very stunning and chic in person. I ordered the size 6 and 8 as a backup. The size 8 is what I wore to my holiday party and it fit great. The only thing was that the top zipper would somehow find a way to unzip itself a bit - I had to keep adjusting it and pulling it back up. I think this is due to the broadness or athletic-ness of my shoulders; I also didn't wear a bra because of this issue. Not a big deal but just keep it in mind. Also, the dress is a bit short. Even on me, at 5'1", the dress hit mid thigh so I opted to wear black, sheer tights underneath. Otherwise, this is a great dress that I received a few compliments on. I'm glad I picked it!

Cute and Sophisticated
Really nice earrings that made my outfit look put together - it added a nice sophisticated touch! They are nicely sized and not too heavy as well. Very easy to put on and take off too. One thing that bothered me, which is a personal preference, was that the earring I placed onto my left earlobe felt uncomfortable to wear...but that's just me. Otherwise, a great choice!

Minimal Necklace
I liked the minimal design of this choker. It was easily adjustable and didn't get in the way. I ended up not wearing it as it didn't go with the dress I ordered, but I could see this piece fitting in with an outfit that is simple and minimalistic.

Interesting Design
The ring fit my finger perfectly but I did not wear it as it was a bit much for my personal tastes. I liked the design, though. The ring also felt a little flimsy and could be easily bent but other than that the ring is a nice statement to have on your hand.

Flattering dress
This dress was the right mix of elegance and fun. I liked the ruching detail on the front and especially liked the plunging back of the dress. I got a few compliments from it. One thing to note about the dress is that it's fitted from the waist down but could potentially be looser in the shoulder area. I found myself adjusting the straps of the dress so they would not slip off me - nothing too major, but something to keep in mind. Also, the dress did ride up a little bit while walking or dancing. Overall, this was a great fit and anyone should consider it if for not the back alone.

Dress was too small
I ordered this dress in size SM and Med. Both did not fit as the dress was too tight/small. I can see this dress fitting more slim, less athletic, and less busty women (which I am not). So, while I was able to put the dress on it would not zip up past my mid-back section. It did, however, hug all the right parts! The material was thick, though, and I liked the bandage pattern of the dress. Unfortunately, the dress did not work for my body type.

Too Small
This dress was a replacement dress for an order I placed that ended up falling through. While it was not my first choice, I was still going to try it on and go with it. I ordered a size 4 and 6 as my backup. The size 4 fit my from the waist down but did not fit at all in the upper body area. The same went for the size 6. And in the size 6, there was too much fabric on the lower half for my 5' 1" frame. I even tried the dress on without a bra and it still wouldn't zip up all the way. As far as the dress itself, it was a nice dark, navy blue and the fabric was medium-weight. It also had a slip underneath the dress to keep the fabric in place. The bow detail on the back was a nice touch as well. It's too bad this dress, and the one I originally ordered, did not work out. I feel like this dress is meant for women who are smaller busted and not as athletic in the upper body area.

Great Necklace
Really liked this necklace. The design is not too out there but edgy enough to make an outfit interesting. The hardware doesn't feel cheap either and doesn't leave any marks on the skin. Very lightweight too.

Dress did not fit
This dress has a very nice pattern to it and is very eye catching. The only caveat is that this dress is not meant for busty women or those who are very athletic in nature (broad/wide shoulders or back). The dress fit me everywhere except for my upper body in both size 4 (usual size) or 6. I don't know if I'm the minority because I weightlift but the zipper just would not budge from my lower/middle back area and up; oh well. Other than that, the material is nice and the dress was made very well. The dress is meant for petite, smaller busted women in mind. I ended up returning both sizes.

The color of the dress and open back made the dress fabulous!
The dress fit perfectly, as others said, at the bottom. The only draw back was that the upper portion of the dress was a bit loose especially near the shoulders. I had to keep adjusting and pulling them up so they wouldn't slip off my shoulders. I ordered both size 4 (my usual) and size 6. Size 4 was a bit tight, so I opted for the 6. Overall, the dress was great and I got many compliments that evening.
