Twist on a classic
I like the look of mock/turtlenecks, but acknowledge they don’t look the best on me (proportionally) so I chose to fold the neck down to the inside which worked for me. I really liked the bell sleeve with a cuff detail - both practical and something a little different.

Classic bombshell style
I wore this dress for a black tie work holiday party. I love the classic styling and felt beautiful and festive. I received multiple complements. The material is thick and hung beautifully. The green is a well-balanced dark green without too much blue. The back is low enough that I couldn’t wear a typical bra. I chose to use boob tape, which worked well. I was a little concerned that the top might shirt during the party and dancing - so depending on how the bodice fits you may want to be prepared with some fashion tape. The dress has some rubber strips at the shoulder to prevent slipping. The slit was to the lower ¼-⅓ thigh (on me), so not too high but will definitely show leg when you sit down. Proportionally, I have short legs and wore about 3.5” heels. There was no risk of me stepping on the hem. I styled with sparkly gold heels, gold jewelry (earrings and a ring), a bold lip, black sparkly clutch, and wore my hair down with one side swept to the back and held with a few bobby pins.

LOVED this very wearable dress
I loved this dress and styled it with various scarves, black tights, and gray wool sneakers. My only complaint was that it’s doesn’t have pockets, although the skirt feels full enough to allow pockets without ruining the line. The fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch, so be sure to get the right size. There’s a zipper and hook closure in the back. It was sized such that I could pull it over my head without undoing either of those, I don’t think a smaller size would have fit me.

Bright
Some of the reviews said that these earrings could be worn 2 ways. The ones that I received could not. I liked them, but not loved.

Shiny!
I did not wear because it was shiny (plastic-looking fiber woven into the fabric) which isn’t evident in the photos. I hoped it would be a classic look.

Beautiful gown!
Wore to a work event (dress code: black tie optional) and I received so many compliments from people I know and others. I felt great all evening and loved the modest style Fabric: The fabric is a little itchy where it rubbed on my arms, but I soon forgot about that and it didn’t bother me nor left an irritation. Fit: I went to the brands website to confirm my size based on their measurements. Felt true to size. I also loved that based on the style I didn’t feel the need to wear shape wear to keep things smooth or need to wear a special bra (however there is a slight boat neck). Length: Dress was longer on me than the model, I needed to wear ~3.5” heels. With the high/low hem my shoes were always peaking out. I lifted the dress a few inches when climbing stairs for safety.
