A little too homeless lady for me.
I think I'm just too short for this sort of thing. I liked the idea of it, but it overpowered me and looked like I was either a homeless lady or a South American shepherd. Nice wool blend., though.

More hip and modern than it looks.
The sheer lace is so pretty and the exposed zipper is really fun. The model in the picture must be tall because it wasn't quite so short on me. However, I didn't wear it because the waist hit me too high and made the seams on the bum lay funny. Don't get this one if you have a long torso.

Sophisticated and Sexy.
This dress is really pretty on and not your basic black dress. Very tasteful and appropriate for a work event but very flattering and sexy. Almost couldn't zip it up. Tight right around the ribs so you may want to size up if you have a big rib cage like me.

Unexpectedly sparkly!
I loved this dress. Really well made. Beautiful color and pattern. I was worried it would be too old lady but it wasn't. Just a tiny tight in the rib cage because it's really fitted with not stretch. Great for a holiday party.

Loved this! Fuller skirt than the picture shows and a more purple/magenta stand out color. Lots of fun!

Sexy fun party dress that was flattering and comfortable.
As the other reviews have mentioned, this dress is SHORT! It's not super noticeable while standing, but if you sit down, you have to be on top of it or else your undies will show. It has a bit of stretch so hugs your waist and is comfy. I couldn't get the hemline to do right. The material is not such that in can be ironed crisply so it was a little odd at the hem, but probably only noticeable to me. I wore one of those stick on nubras and it worked well. Lots of compliments all night. Fun to dance in. Hip and happening dress but I didn't feel like I looked like I was trying too hard to be young. A great alternative to something sparkly.

Fun, bold, and super comfy.
These earrings are hollow so actually really light and comfy. Perfect size. A bit of gold flash without overpowering anything. I loved the angular bold shape with a flowy dress.

Beautiful print and unusual cut.
I didn't end up choosing this dress because it didn't quite fit right up top. The straps would have needed to be shortened I think. It just made me look real flat-chested (but I didn't try it on with a good strapless bra and I'm sure that would have helped). I love the look and feel of the dress. I think it would look better on a bustier gal.

Fun, comfortable, and sexy dress without being too revealing.
I loved this dress! It fit like a glove. It hit quite a bit longer on me than in the picture (being that I'm not a model and all) but it was really flattering. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture but it is completely sequined. Like the black part of the pattern is sequins too. And I'd say that the pattern isn't as contrast-y as it looks in the photo. The overall effect is a gold sequined dress but I still loved it.
