My new fave
I wore this dress anywhere and everywhere I could. It is comfortable, flattering, and just different enough that you look put together, but not flashy. It is so cute. It does have a lot of fabric, so if you’re very petite, it may be overwhelming, and if you have a large bust…beware, the buttons up top tend to pop open. But, I still loved her.

Summer weight, good party dress
I wore it to a wedding in Florida in August and at a photo shoot for in July. Both were extremely hot days, and I felt very comfortable. I will say that the little peekaboo at the chest is a little annoying because you can see your bra, and it kind of gaps if you have a larger chest, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker, and I got lots of compliments. I was quite comfortable in it.

Great piece
It’s a nice necklace, heavy and well-made. It’s kind of strange, you almost can’t decide what’s the front because of the way the stones are set in, but I got lots of compliments on it and wore it both with a suit and with a more casual outfit.

ICONIC + TEDx stage worthy
I am obsessed with this suit! I rented both the jacket and the matching pants. It is extremely comfortable, the pants and jacket both fit very well. It looks higher end than the brand actually is, but I got so many compliments on it. My teenage daughter did say it was giving president coin from the Hunger Games, I’m not sure if that is a compliment or not. However, I really felt like a superwoman. I wore it when I gave a TEDx talk, and I also wore it to present at an international conference. I felt iconic in both spaces. It absolutely makes a statement, but still feels quite comfortable in a business environment. The jacket itself would be cute with other pants or even dark jeans, it is fairly versatile. I will say that the pants are a bit long on my 5’5” frame, so I had to wear heels to keep them from dragging on the ground. I am completely in love, and miss it already.

Classy and understated
These are lovely earrings, they are classy and understated, but look well-made. Would definitely recommend them if they are the look you are going for.

Pretty, hard to get stuff out
This is a gorgeous purse, it looks well made. I found it kind of annoying that the opening is sort of small, although it does have hinges underneath that lock it open so you can dig around for it. It’s perfectly fine as a clutch, I just wouldn’t overload it with much.

Perfect + comfortable for a gala event
This is a super gorgeous dress! Rented for a charity gala. The sequin pattern are little flowers that are kind of gold tone and lavender. I wore nude heels and black and gold pearl earrings. I normally wear between a 10 and 12, and I probably could have fit in a medium or large. I am glad I went with the large. You could wear it with a bra if you have a plunge one, but I tried it with a Simon Perele lace one, and you could see it at the bust just a little bit. So, I wore it without one, and it was fine. If you have a very heavy bustline, you should be able to get away with wearing a regular bra if you need it. Be aware that the straps are not adjustable. It was flattering on my hourglass figure and comfortable to sit and dance in. The sequins under the arms were a little bit scratchy, but not so much that it drove me crazy all night. I am 5 foot five, and you can see that it just hit the top of my shoes. I liked that the waistline is kind of higher so it cinches around the rib cage and has a full, tiered skirt, so I didn’t have to wear ridiculous spanx but you could still tell that I have a little waist. I found it very flattering. I would definitely recommend renting it, and will probably rent it again.

Big up top but cute
I had to Hollywood tape it to my bra so it would stay in place— it’s cute and comfortable but the top gapes a lot (and I’m not modest at all!). Consider sizing down if you’re between. It’s a good weight and lovely colors!

Itchy
It was okay. It’s boxy and I have wider hips so it wasn’t super flattering but I made it work— it was just a bit itchy and hot.
