The cut is perfect!
I'm a total pear and this dress was flattering and comfortable. It flares more than I expected, but that's a small price to pay. The color and fabric were perfect. Loved this dress!

Great color
I wore this dress to my husbands office holiday party and it was perfect. The nude layer was pretty thick so I was warm even outside. Sleeves weren't too tight at all and the cut allowed plenty of room for my hips. The color was really lovely too!

Not good for a pear
I really liked this dress, but I couldn't get it over my hips without some pretty serious stretching and pulling. Even the size 14, which was two sizes above my normal didn't fit me well. The material is beautiful and the back is stunning. I think this would be a great choice for some less hippy women.

Elegant, solid
This was a really pretty necklace that complimented my dress well. I love the sparkly stone with pearl combo.

Really beautiful dress, perfect for an outdoor reception
I wore this dress to an outdoor summer wedding reception. I'm pretty pear shaped, so the natural waistline and fuller skirt was really flattering. The material was heavier than I expected, but I wasn't hot at all. It was way too big for me on top. I think I could have gotten away with one size smaller and it would have fit a little better. I would absolutely recommend this dress!

Sparkles, sparkles and more sparkles
This necklace is gorgeous. Be careful how you put it on or it will try to flip over all night long, but once it's on right it stays in place and just shines. Lovely.

Beautiful, but broken!
These earrings are beautiful. Definitely on the larger side, but that just adds to the effect. My only complaint was that one of the earrings arrived in two pieces. I could fix it by connecting the top to the bottom again and trying to close the loop that holds them, but it broke again during my event. Not a huge deal because I was able to find all the pieces, but I took them off for the rest of the night. I would absolutely rent them again for style reasons, not so much for construction.

So flattering!
This dress is fantastic. The material is a little stretchy and criss crossed, so if you're pear shaped (like I am), it's very forgiving of your hips. None of those horrible pull lines you can get on other dresses. It was a little big on top for me so during the serious dancing portion of the evening it slipped off of my shoulders a few times. Overall though, fantastic!
