Perfect for Coronation Ball
This dress is so pretty in person, and the colors pop. The larger size (10) was not available in the Long length and the smaller size (8) was too tight in the rib cage area. At 5'10", the Regular length was a tad too short as it fell right above the top of my foot but I wore it anyway (at least it didn't get stepped on!) and wore a 2.5" heel that worked fine. It has pockets and is so comfortable.

Very Pretty Dress
This was intended to be my primary dress, but was only available to me in one size so when the zipper wouldn't work I had to go to my back-up style. I am 5'10" and ordered the 10L. My observations from trying it on - the length would be perfect for a 2-3" heel at my height. This dress also has what I would call "presence" - it has a very full skirt with pockets and is made of a heavier fabric. Very pretty dress, I would try to order it again if I have another event!

Great addition with my dress!
These bangles were great - I could see how they could pick a more delicate fabric. My dress was a heavier non-satin material and I had zero issues with them.

Perfect amount of Sparkle!
These earrings were great. Not heavy to me at all. They were a perfect compliment to the Color Block dress I also rented, along with the bangles.

Red-Carpet Worthy
This dress was awesome! I wore it to my first awards show - the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. It was the perfect style - not over the top dressy but not too casual either. My primary size (8) would've fit fine except I thought the ribcage area was a little tight, so I felt more comfortable in the 10. It's not a satiny material which was great as I also rented some sparkly bangles that would've snagged anything delicate. It has pockets which are always a plus and provided a great place to stash my phone for quick camera snaps during the show. By the end of the night, the straps were digging into my shoulders but it wasn't painful. I used a stick-on style bra to keep my bust in check too. Super great dress, I would recommend!

The PERFECT Spring/Beach Wedding Guest Dress!
I cannot stop raving about this dress! My friend was getting married in Key West, and had requested formal attire so I wanted a special cocktail dress to celebrate in. This was actually my back-up style only because there weren't any other reviews and I couldn't tell if the colors would be too loud for me. I am so glad I added it to my order, because ladies, it is a STUNNER. It made my primary dress choice look so boring. It's vivid but not overwhelming. You can twirl in this dress! It has pockets! It is so much fun with the tulle in the skirt! The hot pink lace overlay is sheer (but not super revealing) which I also couldn't tell from the photos, so a bra would be visible, but a bra is not needed at all. If you are bustier than me, you may have too much awesome cleavage but it fit me well. I received so many compliments at the wedding, reception and post-reception island bar-hopping. You will feel like a rock-star in it! I also bought by coincidence what appears to be the exact same shoe in the model's photos. They are a Steve Madden sandal I picked up at Nordstrom. I highly recommend this dress to anyone who wants something fun, flirty and special for a spring event, wedding or beach formal. I would seriously buy this dress if I had rock-star income :)
