Great body - awkward sleeves.
The fit of the dress was lovely and true to size, and I really appreciated the lining in this dress. I needed up not wearing it to dinner because the sleeves were so billowy and the strings to adjust them unwieldy. By the time I'd ruched the sleeves enough to not look or feel awkward, I was left with very long dangling drawstrings that would have dragged through my meal. Might work for an event with no meal!

Great look and long length really works for tall women!
I really wanted to wear this one out - the material is a lovely nubby texture and the look is sleek and sophisticated. It looks great with a statement necklace, too. Unfortunately the top was made to fit women with a larger chest than mine (I'm 34B at best). I have a very hard time finding jumpsuits that fit well on my tall figure (6' tall with a 35 inch inseam) and the long sizing on this piece was so well done - both long enough in the torso AND the leg. However, the drape of the top was too loose on my chest, and even with tape I couldn't fix the fit enough to be sure I didn't have un unexpected side-boob reveal. Would seriously consider buying it and having the top taken in a bit - it's otherwise so gorgeous and versatile.

Elegant and timeless
An elegant, luxe look in classic silhouette with attention to detail and - BONUS - hidden pockets on seam of the gown. Very beautiful. Maybe a little heavy for a late spring event - would be better in cooler weather,

Super flow and fun!
These pants fit me well and were incredibly comfortable. I was a little concerned about the look of the elasticized waistband, but it made for an extremely comfy fit and looked great with a flowy white silk shell. I am 6' tall with a 35" inseam and wore strappy sandals with a 1" heel - and these pants grazed the tops of my feet. Anyone with a shorter inseam might find them long, but they are perfect for tall women. The slit sides and embroidery add so much to an otherwise simple look. Love them!

A little too short for my look
This necklace has plenty of sparkle and charm, but sat too high on me to look right with a strapless gown.

Wore this dress to a gala at a science museum and got non-stop compliments!
This dress fits beautifully and packs a punch of glamour. I'm 6' tall and in an 8 long was able to comfortably wear 1" heels in this gown. The top could have been a smidge tighter - but I'm a 34B at best, so I'm used to strapless dresses feeling bit insecure. The dress photographed so well -the colors and sparkle are really stunning and classy. And the deep, on-seam pockets were the icing on the cake - I didn't even need a clutch! I received so many compliments, and felt comfortable and elegant.
