Great New Year Sparkle
Great dress, lots of complements. I'm usually a 4 and the small was fitted, the medium still looked good but more conservative. I have muscular arms and the sleeves had some space for which I was grateful.

Classy and chic
Loved this dress, great fit. I sized up due to the sleeves being a little snug (I do a lot of pushups). I received many compliments.

Beautiful dress
As a pear shaped women my typical size was a little snug on the legs, but the size up was too big on top. The straps were a little long, but over a wonderful dress. Great quality, lots of compliments.

Great dress, a bit long and the bust area was quite large. I typically wear a 6/8 and have a C cup, but there was still lots of room.

I really like this one. True to size, but being a larger thigh type I might suggest two sizes up. Lots of compliments.

This is more of a baby doll cut, so I sized up the dress waist would hit my natural waist. I received complements all night. Full skirt, roomy sleeves (I have thick arms) and gorgeous material.

Fun sparkle dress with pockets
Cute dress, not an overwhelming amount of sparkle. I wore this to a New Years party; it was great for dancing and did not get too hot. True to size--maybe a half size large. The waste is a little bulky so it added an inch or two. The plunge is not so bad, I wore with a V-neck bar with no problem.

This purse was a hit for my destination vow renewal in Mexico. It was big enough for my wallet and phone, nicely made into a cross-body bag. The little pepper dangle like fringe.

This clutch was cute, but phone did not fit in it. It also seemed the bottom was starting to come apart. On the outside it looked great.

High quality, fabulous color
This dress was amazing. Great quality, beautiful color, pockets! I wore it to a cocktail wedding and received many compliments. The back is sheer therefore go with no bra or some sort of sticky boobs (I just use duct tape). I have thicker thighs and found the cut to be a little snug so wore my backup size.

The dress was adorable. The length was good and overall fit true to size. I found the armholes to be just a wee bit tight, but I have larger shoulders and arms. Great quality fabric and beautiful color.

This we a beautiful dress for dressing up or dressing down. The very low 'V' created some challenges with my bra showing. The fit was just a bit snug, but I still managed to wear my regular size.

Disney Party Perfect
Beautiful dress, I wore this to a Disney themed adult's birthday party with Mickey ears and received many compliments. Sizing was just right. I have broad shoulders and opted to size up to eight due to the cap sleeve. Otherwise the six and eight were close to the same on me.

Mod Fab
I loved this dress, wore it to a 1960s themed party. The fit was pretty good, though the underskirt was a bit tight (I have a pear shape). Also, beware of sitting-down-wrinkles. Cute dress, though not made to flatter one's body.

Less of a shift, more of a straight
This dress was beautiful and the material sparkled in person--great for New Year's Eve. My only issue was the its description as a shift dress, it was more fitted. I have thicker thighs so I had to size up and, as I always find with straight cut dresses for my shape, it was too big up top and barely fit my booty. I still rocked it because it was a fab dress.

Lacey and elegant
I wore this as a bridesmaid's dress and I received many compliments. The length was not very flattering on me since I have shorter legs and the lace added a couple pounds in photos, not so much in person. Overall beautiful dress, well made.

Cute dress
I loved this dress, but it ran just a tad small. If you are self conscious about the dreaded "armpit fat" this dress is a hit or miss depending on your shape. My armpit fat poked out a little and I had to readjust throughout the evening.

The dress fit true to size, quality thick material. Pleats in the front added a little bulk to my mid-section, but other than that I was super pleased. Wore it to a bridal shower and received many compliments.

Beautiful, but no slip
This dress was everything I could have wanted except the slip did not arrive with it in either size. Rent the runway was super helpful and got another dress to me after attempting to locate the slips. I wanted to wear it so much I just went out a bought a nude slip and received compliments all night.

Cute dress, great for a party.
The fit was good, though I have wider hips and large thighs so I wore my backup larger size to accommodate. It was a little snug in the hips, but I expected that. Also of note, there is gold weaved into the roses--not something I noticed from the image on the website.

Amazing color, flattering fit.
This dress received many complements at the beach wedding I attended. The color popped and the fit was amazing. The neckline drops low so be careful with what kind of bra you wear; I found myself hiking it up for fear of being exposed.

Cute pattern, but heavy fabric
This dress fit when it arrived. I hung it up for a day before I packed it. When the event day came the dress had been stretched out due to the weight of the fabric. It was a little baggy and less flattering. Cute dress, just don't hang it--stretching will happen.
