The bag was beautiful and went nicely with my dress -- the dress was dramatic, so I wanted a bag that was pretty, but more subtle. This is the type of bag that will definitely go with almost anything. It took me a number of tries before I figured out the trick of getting it open properly - I don't normally use this type of bag, I am used to simple zippered Vera Bradleys! I don't know if I can describe it exactly, but if you hold the crystal accent and push forward the bag will pop right open, whereas if you are trying to pull the two sides open it won't cooperate! Made for some awkward moments fumbling around with it. It was also rather small IMO - I only took along an Iphone, a little cash, and my ID -- and my car keys wouldn't fit into the bag. I'd prefer something a bit larger that could at least hold my phone and my keys. I'd consider renting this bag again, but I'd have to take off ALL my other keys and ONLY put my car key in this bag with the phone, because that's all that would fit. My house keys, alarm fobs, etc. - would take up all the space.

At a 1920s-themed ball -- there were two other people there with dresses that were somewhat similar -- I actually did a double-take at one woman several times because her dress was so similar from the waist down, but the top was totally different. That was a slight bit of a bummer, but it was definitely a very beautiful, flattering, and eye-catching dress. Overall I'd say it fit true to size. I'm glad I went with the 6 -- I did also get the 8 as a backup size, but I had almost gotten an 8 and a 10 instead. I was afraid the 6 would be too small as I'm a bit "heavier" than I normally am and I'm wearing size 8 for jeans, etc. I tried on the 8 and it was a bit baggy on the top, so I went with the 6. I'm a bit bigger on the bottom, but I didn't want a baggy top when the bust is supposed to be the showpiece area of this dress. I did get a bit of chafing on the underarm area, not sure if that was from the dress rubbing me or from the shrug I was wearing with it. The length was good - showed the shoes a bit when in heels, but didn't drag on the floor when I finally took the shoes off for dancing later (couldn't stand the pain of the heels anymore after several hours!). I think if I'd have gotten the long, it may have ended up being more cumbersome. Was sad to send it back - very glam, wish I could wear something like that every day! :)

These were very beautiful earrings that definitely added "WOW" factor to the overall look. I didn't find them to be too heavy, they felt fine to me. The only reason I gave them a 4 was because one earring was very loose and the "clip on" part wasn't clipping snugly like it's supposed to. I had a moment of panic, but my husband was able to tighten it up and there weren't any more problems. I danced around with them and wore them for hours without an issue.
