Gorgeous dress but it just didn't work for me.
This was my backup dress and I didn't wear it because my first choice was more my style and fit better. This was my backup dress and I went with my first choice for my niece's wedding. Pros: The sleeves and waistline are very flattering and the fabric is gorgeous. I live in San Francisco and weight of the fabric is perfect for cooler weather. Cons: the actual color (a royal or electric blue) is different than the dress pictured on website model. For me, it ran small and was uncomfortable for a long event (my niece's wedding). I also felt it was a tad short for a wedding, was hoping it came closer to the top of the knees. Also, because of the fabric, this may not be good choice for warm weather.

This necklace was the icing on the cake and made me feel dazzling at my niece's wedding!
Pros: perfect for creating daytime or evening glamour! Though chunky, it wasn't heavy and I liked that it stayed put when I moved around, bent over, danced, etc. I loved that I NEVER fidgeting with it like some necklaces that seem to wander around my neck. Cons: None Overall, I'd happily rent this necklace again--loved it!

I felt like a million bucks wearing this to my niece's wedding and received so many compliments!
Pros: I'm a little overweight at the moment and this dress was perfect at concealing the extra pounds. I've never had a tiny waist but the cut of the dress made me look like I finally had a nipped in waistline, yay! I was in the dress for about 12 hours and it was extremely comfortable (i.e., no pinching, digging, slipping, etc.). Cons: I really don't have any negatives except that because of the scooped out neckline, this dress probably works best for women with somewhat broad shoulders and/or a full bust. I'm a 34C and have fairly broad shoulders so the sleeves stayed put, but it was hard to raise my arms over my shoulders on the dance floor. A very small price to pay for such a fabulous dress. Suggestions: I highly recommend wearing a chunky/flashy necklace with this dress, which fits with its 50s/retro vibe.I rented the "On The Town" necklace, which was perfect and garnered lots of compliments. I added my own belt to further define my waist and finish the look. Overall, I loved the dress and would happily rent it again for another fancy daytime event!
