Fun and has pockets!
Wore this for my son’s high school graduation. Loved the vibrant color, and the red piping and exposed gold zipper were fun details. Could be dressed up or down. The full, swishy skirt and pockets made me very happy, too; I got several compliments on the dress.

Pretty but did not wear
I liked the style and fit of this dress but opted to wear another Roksanda Collective dress with a v-neck. The neckline on this dress is (as the pictures show) quite high.

Too small for my iPhone 6+
Very pretty, and did hold a car key, lipstick and my sunglasses, plus some tissues, but not my phone.

Great for outdoor reception
This dress is a gorgeous blue - more royal than navy in sunlight - with silvery leaves. I had planned to wear gold jewelry and beige shoes but found white shoes and silver jewelry worked better; I would have worn silver heels to a night event. (I did still carry the gold bag I rented, and it worked.) It has fun back detailswith a tie neck, bra-friendly keyhole opening and ruffle-ly thing; and the full skirt would have been great for dancing.

Friend referred to this as my Superwoman cape dress
This dress was comfortable and pretty, and conservative enough for the event while still having the fun surprise of the sleeves/back ruffle. I wore the 12; while the 10 could have worked, it was snug across the hips. I paired it with nude slingbacks and gold jewelry.

Perfect for afternoon Bar Mitzvah service
This was flowy and feminine. I paired it with an antique gold and pearl bracelet that picked up the gold shimmer in the lace, and nude slingbacks. Very comfortable, and it allowed me to wear a regular bra.
