Unique, Comfy, Show-stopper, Pockets!
I wore this to a gala and received a ridiculous amount of compliments. One woman told me I was wearing the best dress of the event. It is so comfy and soft, but the fabric is very lush. The colors and design are whimsical and traditional but also bold, and I felt really fashion forward. I'm 5'3" and this was the perfect length with 3.5" heels (maybe dragged a little--probably 4" would have been better). The best part (other than the pockets) was the boning in the bodice. I am small but have a C bust, plus I'm a nursing mom, so my girls got bigger as the night went on! But the dress fit perfectly all night long, no bra necessary. Was so hard to send it back. A true beauty.

Gorgeous! A little heavy.
Super beautiful, sparkly, elegant. They made my ear lobes sore pretty fast, had to take them off for about a half hour to rest. But after that, they were fine.

Runs Large, Odd Bunching, Still Lovely
Man, this dress is pretty. Not as form-fitting as I'd like (pretty stretchy--even the 0 is a hair roomy on me), but overall, it's fine. Still, what is with this bunching in the front? Maybe it's because of my size--I'm pretty petite with a shorter torso and longer legs--but this just seems like such a structural faux pas to me. I mean, I can live with it, especially since these days, returning a dress to RTR is less intuitive than ever, but if you're at all self-conscious about your pooch, especially if you're a shorty like me, skip this dress. From the front and back, you'll love it. But from the side...just not forgiving at all.

Serious Sparkle
This necklace is full of personality. It's got an extreme glitter factor. I wore it with a black sequined tulle dress to a black tie gala in Palm Springs. It was so pretty and versatile, I'm seriously thinking about buying one for myself!

Romantic, Perfect Fit
I wore this dress to my Uncle's whimsical Vegas Chapel wedding. It was sweet and pretty and comfy, easy to dress up for the wedding with a sparkly necklace and heels, and then, with some Anthro combat boots and a silky blush blazer--easy to add some edge to afterward for our night on the strip. I LOVE this dress. It's extremely flattering and romantic. The lace sleeves and the detailing are all very high quality. I have zero complaints. I want to own this one!

Extremely Feminine, Whimsical
I liked this dress, though it make me feel a little puffy. Not sure how else to describe it. I'm a smaller girl with a bigger bust for my size, and the way the dress fit REALLY accentuated that. I mean, I felt like a pin-up girl--cinched waist, big boobs, the works. Honestly, this dress is well-made. It's whimsical and pretty, but it's a head-turner. It was too much for me. I felt "on display" all night long. My personal style is a little more ethereal than this, and the model in this picture makes the dress look a little subtler than I think it is. In the end, I don't necessarily feel comfortable standing out by virtue of my "assets," if you know what I mean. But that's just me! I got a lot of compliments, and it is a beautiful dress!

Cute, but a strange fit.
This dress is VERY cute, the rental I received was in very good shape, and I was just so disappointed when it didn't fit well. My measurements are 34-25-35, and the small, which I initially thought would be too tight for me, did fit well in the bodice, but it was pretty loose in the bust. This was surprising to me, since, while I am small, I have a C chest--and I usually never have a hard time filling out size 2 dresses. I think that I wasn't broad enough to fill out the dress, and while I could have used a padded strapless bra and stylist tape to keep it up, it just wasn't super flattering on me, and I would have been yanking it up all night long. I suggest that petite girls with a big bust be wary of this one, or order the XS as a back-up if you think you can fit. Boobs alone will not be enough to fill out the bodice. You'll need to be a little broader across the chest and back, or else it'll be roomy.

Gorgeous
I wore this to a fundraising gala and awards show in Palm Springs, and I received a ton of compliments from very fabulous, very rich people. It's playful yet sophisticated and very expensive looking. I highly recommend, especially for more romantic and feminine looks. While my dress was a flowy pink and silver-sequined number, this necklace could also do a great job dressing up a simple black look. Rent this!
