Lingerie party!
Dress was big in the bust and tight in the butt. I wore the S because, though really tight through hips and thighs, overall fit was better than M. I'm a 34B and the M was really baggy up top. It's a heavy fabric, so I was worried about oppressive summer heat. Didn't matter ultimately. The white is more ivory than in the pics, and there was a rippling at the hem that looked to be from repetitive cleaning.

Friends since 8th grade, danced the night away!
This dress is lighter weight than I thought it would be, for a more casual feel than I'd expected. It fit with the mason jar and burlap motif of my friend's wedding, though. Fabric is stretchy, too, so it moved well with me on the dance floor. Size 4 fit just right, though would be tight on a bustier woman (34B with broad shoulders here). Length, too, was perfectly at the knee on my 5'8" frame.

Springy and bold
These earrings gave a fun punch to an otherwise ordinary outfit. I paired it with a black top and skinny jeans to attend Nashville Ballet's Carmina Burana with my mom.

Most "liked" on Facebook since my engagement!
Pink is more hot pink in person than it looks in pics. Comfortable fabric. Can wear with regular bra. Dress ran large. I'm a true 2, but I could have worn a 0. Dress would probably look smashing on a bustier girl. Appropriate length for a 30-something or a more modest occasion.

The 4 offers more room, but the 2 is a more flattering fit.
This dress was exactly what I needed. I've rented multiple Monique Lhullier lace overlay dresses before, and this one was no different. They fit predictably well, cover up for modesty but skim the body for femininity. The color is rich and beautiful. Because of the color and modesty, it's on the short list for my sister to rent as a bridesmaid's dress for my wedding!

The purse has more depth than I expected. Less clutch than purse.
I wanted to keep this purse. Perfect size for phone, IDs, and a couple makeup items.

I felt wonderful in this dress. Was a reader in formal Catholic wedding. Was perfect.
dress fit true to size BUT I am a 2-4 ... so it may run large. Was comfortable. Only issue was back clasps came undone throughout the night.
