This clutch was so pretty and sparkly. It doesn't fit much, I got my phone and a tube of lip balm in it. The metal strap was easy to tuck inside to use as a clutch or bring out to use as a shoulder strap.

I wish I could have kept this dress. It was so flattering, the length hit right above my ankles so you could see my shoes. I did not need to wear a bra, it fit very well and was so comfortable, I never felt like I was going to expose anything or fall out, and the arm hole was the perfect location. The copper thread detail is so lovely, it adds a little drama. I had compliments all night long on the dress (and shoes). I thought the 16 would be too big, but it fit absolutely perfectly.

Could not zip up all the way. Lovely dress, pretty details, pretty heavy fabric, but definitely size up.

I wore this for my 20th high school reunion. I rented another dress with it that ended up not being flattering on me at all. I wore the backup size, and was able to wear a regular bra, but you need a low-cut one, or you will risk the front of the bra being seen. Super comfy, length was great to hide what I feel are not so awesome knees of mine, and I felt really great in it. Lots of compliments, and the guys who hadn't seen me in years seemed to approve, haha. Ladies too ;). There were also pockets, which were deep and very hidden, I almost missed them! The fabric was definitely heavier, but I wasn't too warm. The color is a beautiful minty grass shade with white vines and leaves. I could have worn the Large, but it was very fitted and probably would have felt tight by the end of the night. Really wish I could buy this one!

Unfortunately I don't have a good photo of me in the dress, but I'll keep looking. The material is VERY thick and heavy, and I was wearing it in Florida for a wedding in May, at which it was 95 degrees. So, a bit hot for that particular event, however, it was SO FUN to wear! It was a bit swingy, the print was bright and fun, the neckline wasn't too deep. A little tight on the ribcage, and that combined with the super heavy material got it 4 stars instead of 5. But if it is in a cooler climate or time of year, you'll be fine! Didn't need to wear a bra, either, it was tight enough after zipping up.

I wish I had a good picture of me in the dress, but every one I could find just didn't show the dress well. It fit fabulously, nicely tight around the ribcage--and I have a big ribcage! I didn't wear a bra, but never felt like I was going to fall out of the v-neck. The pockets were awesome! I was able to keep my phone and some tip money on me even while dancing. Because I have bigger hips, I'm usually very conscious about wearing things that may make them appear bigger, and the slight bubble design of the skirt made me a bit nervous, but it worked beautifully. The fabric was divine, so rich and stiff (a good stiff), I had a lot of comments on it!

I was attending a black-tie gala, so needed a formal gown. I had looked at my favorites for months, and this was actually a last-minute change of heart. I was going to wear a black gown, but then felt like a brighter one would be better for me. I read that this one ran a bit big, so I asked for the 12R and the 10L. I am tall, and wear very high heels, so I was concerned about length. I hate when floor-length dresses hit above my shoes. I tried the 12R dress on, and while it went on fine (zipper did stick), I could tell that I had room to spare. I tried the 10L on, and it fit like an absolute glove. Wasn't tight, just fit well across my ribcage, and didn't have trouble zipping it up at all. There is a LOT of flowing fabric on the bottom half, so much that I felt like I was floating across the floor when I walked. The L was definitely LONG, with the fabric just hitting the floor when I wore my 5" heels (black, couldn't ever see them anyway). I kept picking the dress up a little when I walked, simply to avoid possibly stepping on it (though it would have likely been ok had I not picked it up...just felt so long! haha). I had to stand quite straight because of the length, though; had I slouched at all, the hem would have dragged. The armholes were close-fitting, but not uncomfortable, and the cummerbund-like sash really gave me an hourglass look. I wore a regular bra, but did need a little strap holder in the back to make it more racerback style so as not to see the straps. Overall, LOVED this dress! Got a TON of compliments!

These earrings were great! Lots of sparkle, the gold setting wasn't too prominent, which meant you saw the gems more than anything. Not too heavy, just the right length and size so as not to take away from the lovely blue Badgley Mischka dress I wore. The earrings were pierced, with decent size backs to hold them on.

Though these were lovely, I did not wear them with the Hello, Gorgeous Lela Rose dress as I intended. The gold setting was too prominent to wear with a gray dress and black heels. The clips may have gotten heavy by the end of the day as well

This dress was not exactly as imagined, but was still wonderful. The pattern isn't a print, but rather stitching detail all over the dress in a small 'leaf' sort of pattern. There is a lining, which made the dress a little warm, but not to the point of sweating because of it. It also fell a little longer than pictured but I was wearing a size 12 to accommodate my hips, so perhaps that just made it longer. I was very nervous about the peplum detail, because I generally cannot wear peplum due to my already sizable hips. But, it looked great, and was a clean peplum look, rather than ruffly. It was not too tight, fit just right all over, just was a couple inches past my knees instead of right at the knees, as shown. I received many compliments, and have to admit that I felt quite nice being in such a 'rich' dress! I wore black platform 5" heel open-toe pumps (even at my height). MUST wear a thong with this one, or panty lines will show through, even with heavier fabric! (Wish there was a better photo, but it works)
