Just not right for occasion.
I guess I was expecting this dress to have more "oomph", but it just didn't do it for me. Beautifully made, just not right for me.

Felt great in an audience full of 18 year old cheerleaders!!
Great fit, although, I had enough room that the 6 might have fit better, but all in all, wonderful!!!! Seriously, the hotel we were at had a cheerleading convention of some sort, plus Katy Perry was playing. This dress was just cute enough to make my 35 year old self feel confident, without feeling like I was trying too hard. The draping on the skirt is beautiful. Only negative is the weight of the fabric, but I got over it.

Didn't get to wear:(
These were really pretty. A little darker/greener(????) than the pic shows. These were a last minute pic with a last minute dress that unfortunately didn't work. That aside, these were cute, and I wish I had gotten to wear them.

Just a little too big/revealing :(
I got this as a last minute backup after being sent the wrong length of my original rental. While this is a gorgeous dress, I really needed an 8 (or possibly a 6) in this one. The top gaped a little too much to be appropriate for a wedding, and since it was delivered the day of the event, I didn't have a chance to get the necessary fashion tape. I am just glad I was paranoid and bought an extra extra back up dress. I ended up needing it.

Gorgeous sparkle!!
Unfortunately, one of the clips was loose, and kept slipping off. This could have probably been easily fixed, but I didn't bother. They were heavy enough that I didn't worry about losing them though, I could feel as soon as they slipped. Great addition to my outfit overall!!
