It definitely holds you in, that is for sure! So much that I had to get a friend to help me zip up (but you can easily tell what the proper size is, even if it seems too small). But when it's on, it really turns heads and flatters your shape. I was able to eat a 3 course anniversary meal and still feel comfortable (& look great). And the length was perfect-- flirty, but still appropriate for a fancy restaurant. Got it in exchange for another dress & loved it!

These are truly the perfect cocktail party earrings! They were no only gorgeous in person but had a really nice weight to them (not heavy but showed that they were not flimsy). I paired them with a cute black and white striped peplum top & jeans when they first arrived (was obsessing over them the second they touched my ears) and then the Joan of Arc mini dress for New Year's Eve the next day-- seriously considering buying them! The only thing I wasn't crazy about it the backing of the earring that do keep them in place, but also are a little uncomfortable because of how tight you have to make them. But totally worth it for these beauties!

I got this for New Year's Eve in a size 0 (unfortunately no backup size 2 was available) and it fit beautifully-- way shorter than any of the dresses I usually wear (could not bend down without seeing my undies; not sure if the 2 would have worked out better) but manageable. I paired it with black tights & pumps and really felt like a knockout all night-- very Serena van der Woodsen. It was the perfect dress to wear to bring in the New Year!

I'm an avid KSNY lover so I couldn't resist wearing this adorable dress for my college graduation. I felt fantastic in it- I wore it with a red cardigan and peep toe pumps during the ceremony and flat black sandals for the family BBQ that followed-- and it was so versatile. I just wish I would have sized down with my extra order rather than up. It was a teensy bit too loose/long (never wore KS clothing before so I can't supply the best opinion about the sizing), but overall, it worked & I was so sad to send it back!
