Beautiful Cut and Color
I wore this to a daytime wedding and got a lot of compliments. Wonderful spring color and a flattering cut. Not the most unusual dress out there, but great!

Beautiful and Unique - Very Flowy
I ordered this for a wedding and ended up going with another dress, but this was a great option. It was very flowy and fit a little large, but not in a bad way. It was a unique and beautiful dress, but I went with something a little more traditional for my uncle's daytime church wedding.

Hippier then I expected
I ordered this for a Vegas night out but decided not to wear it because I felt hippier than expected. Even in the XL there was a lot of pull and it just wasn't flattering. Not a great fit for pear or hourglass ladies.

Beautiful, fun dress
I wore this to a friend's birthday dinner (he wanted fancy!) last weekend. It was a replacement after my first option didn't work. The dress is great and I loved the neckline. The 12 was better in the bust and waist, but pulled at my hips, so I went with the 14. It was a little loose, but I guess that just means more room for steak. The dress is definitely short, and while the skirt is not a straight cut, it has no give and is not an a-line either. So if you have extra hips, you'll need to size up. For reference, I'm 5/7", 180 lbs, and 40/33/45. If I find a picture I'll post it!

Beautiful dress, like a walking (classy) disco ball!
I'd been looking for a reason to rent this dress for a while and grabbed my chance for a wedding. The color and cut were good. The 10 would have fit, but I decided that the skirt hung a little better in the bigger size. And since I decided to go with a bra, the girls were at full attention and the 12 seemed to be a better bet. At some point (right after I walked into the wedding) I got very self-conscious that I was showing so much cleavage, which isn't like me. I was worried that I looked trashy. I chalk all that up to a conversation with my mother about another dress that I wore recently and her judgement because I got nothing but compliments all night. I stopped counting after the 6th or 7th person stopped me at cocktail hour. :)

Earrings were a beautiful statement to match the dress.
These were a beautiful pair of earrings that matched the rose gold of my dress well. They are definitely big, but not overwhelmingly heavy. My biggest peeve was that I felt like they were twisting all night, so half the time you saw the back.

Great, fun, bright dress
Wore this to future SIL's tea party themed bridal shower and received many compliments! It fit true to size, but be warned that there is no give in the bodice. Also, the snaps keep your bra straps in line, but you'll still want a thin strapped bra in nudish color because it seemed that the edge peeked out sometimes (snaps a little loose and could travel a hair). (Sorry about the bad photo - it was the only full length photo in the bunch!)
