Small and short on my frame
I rented this dress for a work event, but the M was far too tight and too short on my normally-size-8 frame to wear to that event. The weight of the fabric made the A-line bottom drape strangely on my hips: it was not flattering. I wanted to love it because it's clear the dress is of a high quality and I loved the design, but it was a miss for me.

Gorgeous, versatile clutch
This clutch is surprisingly versatile - I wore it with both a navy and a blush dress, and it worked seamlessly with both. There's more of a rose gold finish on the fabric than the photos show, but it's not too rose gold. The chain allows you to wear the bag as a crossbody, which is so practical.

The neckline, though
This dress is beautiful and so well-constructed. The illusion neckline kept the top of the dress secure through an entire day at the track, and the stretch in the bottom half makes the dress practical for moving around. I will say - the top half would probably fit a little better on someone who is slightly better endowed than my 34Bs - but again, due to the illusion neck, it stayed secure. Highly, highly recommend - I got so many compliments!

stunning earrings, but still light on sensitive earlobes!
These earrings were perfect for a formal event! They make such a statement while being comfy and light relative to their size. They are long, so if you have a petite frame I could see where they could touch your shoulders. But for this taller gal, they were perfect!

Stunning, interesting, sexy black tie dress
I rented this dress for the most formal gala that I attend every year. It was a hit! Gorgeous, well-fitting, and comfortable. I got compliments all night! Previous reviewers were spot on when they noted that it ran small. With how drapey the dress is, I don't think it would drape correctly if it were tighter on me. I ordered a size up and it was a perfect fit - both secure on my body and draped perfectly.
