AMAZING. comfortable and elegant
the fabric looks like crepe - elegant and professional and expensive looking - but it's actually stretchy. I ordered a size up (L) since the skirt looked fitted and I have hips... not sure if this was necessary. I think a medium would have been fine, but so was the large. I got this for a work event, and I never want to let go of it! It looks like a chic cocktail dress, but it feels like you're in your pajamas. So comfortable and perfect. Great color too.

Burgundy Bixia Dress
By Malene Birger
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 187lbs
Bust: 34B
Perfect dress, perfect fit, comfortable, sophisticated and fashionable
This dress runs completely true to size. I was concerned that the hem might be difficult to style and that it might look a bit strange on.... but it looked great with every shoe I wore it with - amazing with high heels as well as with flat sandals. I wore it for a casual/nice brunch with girlfriends over the weekend and also to my mom's fancy birthday party. It can easily be dressed up or dressed down depending on your event. I love this dress so much that I've rented it twice - the 2nd time for a girlfriend's bachelorette party in NYC. I get tons of compliments every time I wear it.

having my 1st choice dress fit me --- thankfully, because this dress was WAY too tight.
runs TINY. I usually wear a 6 with no problem - but I got this in an 8 as a backup in case my other dress (a size 6) was too tight.... Thank goodness the other dress fit me well, because this one was SKIN TIGHT even in a size larger than I normally wear. It took a lot of effort to get it zipped up, and when it was on, the fabric pulled at the hips which was really noticeable because of the slit. It's VERY narrow in the hips & definitely runs really small. It's a beautiful color and a gorgeous design, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work or fit.

Good quality, but made me look like a cupcake. Much preppier and more conservative than cool.
Skirt is VERY flared. Made me feel too hippy. Felt too young for a work meeting, too wholesome for NYC.
Fast Lane Dress

Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6

Bust: 34B
RUNS TINY in the hips
I ordered this in a 6... but it ran so small that I couldn't get it over my hips. not even close. I don't even think a size larger would have made a difference. It's strange, because it looks like it would be a loose skirt in the photo, but it's actually VERY narrow in the hips. Thank goodness I ordered two other dresses as a backup (both in a 6) so I still have options for my party! I was upset though because the material and cut looked AMAZING. If it had fit, I think it would have been incredible.

Perfect wear-with-anything bangle
Loved this. It was so much more delicate and sophisticated in person than I expected. I haven't taken it off for a moment since it arrived in the mail (I rented it with the Unlimited subscription)... that I'm even considering buying it. It's pretty and feminine but still a little bit edgy and cool. It also compliments my wedding and engagement rings perfectly. I don't want to send it back!
