Stand out in the crowd!
Narrow through the shoulders and slim fitting - so it was tight on a curvy girl - but so cute! Very heavy fabric

Cute and dramatic
Wore for a work conference - loved the dramatic sleeves. Fabric is sheer, but has some structure. Fit well in the arms and shoulders, but I had to wear it open because it was too tight across the chest. I also wish it was a little longer in the waist - even for a bolero. But I got several compliments, some from total strangers. ( it happened to match my hair that day). Perfect for an event or night out.

Cool and Comfortable!
Wore this for a day of a conference in Las Vegas - the longer sleeves were perfect for over-cooled hotel ballrooms, while the silk kept you (relatively) cool and comfortable the rest of the day. I'm on the busty side, so wore this with a white cami. I love the DFV wrap styles - I own a few, but her fabrics are pretty distinct so I love having rental options so that I'm not always repeating my same dresses.

Gorgeous quality & fabric
Loved the look of this - tried it over a black sheath dress and also as shown on the model with a white tee and black pants - looks good both ways, but I liked the more casual look with pants, especially since it doesn't close. The fabric is gorgeous - the colors are bright but didn't feel overwhelming, just luxurious. Didn't have many issues with the bustline - sometimes the lapels weren't as flat as they should have been, but that wasn't much of an issue - but it did get uncomfortable in the arms by the end of the day. Very narrow at the top.

Fun and Sparkly
These were a cute add that I picked up from the accessories at the LV showroom. I don't think I would have selected these based on the photo - the picture doesn't convey the sparkle on these or how funky the mixed stone sizes are. It was much cuter live. They are a nice size for everyday use (wore them to a convention in LV). Could be worn with a lot of different items and dressed up or down.

Fun, flirty dress!
Normally I would NEVER wear an all-white dress, but I was going to Diner en Blanc where an all white outfit is required. I wasn't sure about the "petticoat", but once I got over the strangeness of the "bulk" under my skirt, it was fine, and gave a great silhouette to the dress. I wore it to work that day with a cobalt blue blazer and a skinny black patent belt, then ditched the color for the dinner that night. Granted, all-white is never a slimming look, but the sweater in the picture covers up how the nipped in waist makes the dress very flattering. Went with the 14 becuase the 12 was too tight in the back, and the 14 gave me a little more room to breathe. I got so many compliments on the work version of the outfit that I'm considering buying the dress if I can still find it anywhere. (Sorry I didn't get any pictures of the dress with the jacket)

Darker than it looks
I thought this dress was much darker than it photographs - almost tan rather than white or ivory. I rented it for Diner en Blanc and felt it was too dark to pass for white, so didn't wear it. The fabric is luxurious, but very heavy. I also felt that the bodice was pretty narrow, but it did make for a nice small waist / full skirt contrast (if breathing comfortably isn't terribly important to you). I did notice that even in the short time I had it on, the heavy fabric under the arms felt uncomfortable.

Pretty, but didn't work with 2nd dress
These were my "mystery bling" and would have been pretty with the original dress, but unfortunately, that dress didn't work. The other dress was pink, brown & gold, so these didn't look good with the dress I ended up wearing. They're very classy, but kinda plain. I guess I was hoping for something more "blingy". But they would be great with a very elegant or modern looking dress.

Sweet & sexy
As mentioned by others, this is a great choice for a roomy bust line, but filling out the top caused a strange "puff" around the waistline for me (like muffin top, but empty fabric - but I don't think this would be a problem on someone a little more "balanced" *grin*) . Still, the fabric & flowy cut were so pretty, with a nice gold shimmer running through. Mine came with a few "pulls" to the gold threads that needed to be snipped. It was super short - I had to wear with tights and boots. But my husband loved the look!

Couldn't wear it
This dress didn't work at all for me. The slip didn't accommodate my boobs, so the seam cut across the middle of them, and the dress isn't wearable without the slip. Even if I had been able to wear my own spanx slip underneath, the neckline on the lace overdress would have been obscene.
