Looks beautiful, but uncomfortable to move in
I really loved the way this dress looked and felt. However, even with 5 inch heels the long length was almost trailing on the floor the whole night, and I had to be very careful while walking around. Also, there is a nude underslip that will ride up a lot and look runched underneath the dress. I would not recommend this dress for an event where there is dancing.

Rented before, would rent again!
I've rented this dress twice (once in pink, once in blue), and it's been perfect both times. The long version is long enough to wear with 5" heels, the top provides enough coverage to not need a bra, and it has these ties that wrap around your waist that ensure figure flattery for curvier girls. It's really loose in the hips so I would suggest ordering so that it fits your top half.

Not great for a small waist
This dress is very pretty but the shape is pretty structured. I have a very small waist proportional to my hips, and the this dress didn't fit right at all. From the picture, though, I guessed that this would happen, so I used a belt. Unfortunately, the belt caused the fabric to runch up in awkward ways. I wouldn't recommend this dress to someone who has the same body shape as me. On the plus side, though, I still think this is a cute dress. Fit issues aside, it looked cute paired with nude heels.

Unique Party Dress
"It's so shiny!" was the most common comment about my dress. The shiny gold color and the one-shoulder neckline make this a really unique piece. I wore it to a sorority semi-formal and it felt appropriate for the occasion. The material was good, there are just enough sequins to give you sparkle but not enough so that you're weighed down under a heavy dress. There's also a little bit of stretch in the fabric. This is both a pro and a con for this dress, the stretch makes it fit curves really well, but it also makes the dress shorter on you if you're curvier.

Perfect amount of sparkle
I really enjoyed this bracelet. It looked great worn with a white dress and nude heels. The actual pieces on the bracelet are a little smaller than they look in the picture, but fit was no issue.

Not what I expected, but still great.
I thought that the dress would be white and lacy, it ended up being a stiff silver fabric over nude. Because I'm so tall, dresses with a seam at the waist (as opposed to detachable belt, or just a tight dress) are hard to choose a fit for. The little gold belt section at the waist didn't fit at my real waist, but the shape still looked flattering. I wore it with nude heels and the Nicole Miller Accessories Star Light Star Bright Bracelet. The picture I included is now my facebook profile picture. I put it up a week ago and I'm still getting compliments on it.

So Delicate Dress

Absolutely Perfect
I'm tall (5'10"), so I occasionally have trouble fitting into dresses. Adjusting the dress to fit and accentuate my figure was easy with wrap tie around the waist. I also loved that the 8L was the perfect length with 5" heels, a seeming rarity for tall girls. The fabric felt amazing and draped perfectly. The dress isn't extremely structured, so I ordered my normal size, and a size down, and ended up wearing the smaller size.
