Beautiful dress, didn't want to return it!
This dress was so beautiful! I was so sad having to return it. I am normally a size 4 and ordered a 4L and 6L as my two sizes after reading some of the reviews saying that the dress runs small. Unfortunately, the day before my dresses were supposed to be delivered the 4L was unavailable. I ended up making the 6L fit with about 15 safety pins pinning in both sides of the dress. I assume that the 4L would have fit perfectly (so it was true to size for me). I would say that there is some give in the fabric, but not too much. Also, the bodice is wonderfully designed and there is no need for a bra. Also, the little bit of boning is well made and doesn't stick into your ribs when you sit down. I am 5'7" and wore 2 inch heels and the LONG length was absolutely perfect. It is worth noting that there is a train on the dress which many people stepped on during the night and it made dancing a bit limited. But the dress was so pretty I gladly put up with those inconveniences!

Beautifully detailed dress, but odd sizing
I didn't end up wearing this dress, but it had beautiful detail. The main reason I did not wear this dress is because it was so short. I am 5'7" and the size 4R was 4 inches above the ground even without shoes on! Given that the 4L wasn't available, I am not sure if it would have been long enough for me to wear heels. Also, it seems to run large. I am 138 lbs and 85% of the time fit into a size 4; however, there was quite a bit of extra room in the size 4. I am guessing a size 2 would have been a much better fit for me.

Beautiful, comfortable dress!
I ordered this dress for my firm's formal holiday party. I originally ordered the 4L, which ended up being unavailable, so they shipped the 4R instead. It fit perfectly, but I had to wear flats because it ended just past my ankles. The 4L would have been perfect with heels. The dress fit great and was very comfortable to wear, I got compliments all night and people even came to my office on Monday to tell me how pretty the dress was! The zipper did tend to get a little stuck around the waist band, but other than that it was exactly what I was hoping it would be.

Great clutch!
This clutch was wonderful! Big enough that I could fit my entire wallet inside, as well as keys, phone, and lipstick. It also had a perfect shine to it!

Perfect, lightweight, and SPARKLY!!
These earrings were PERFECT! I can't wear heavy earrings, so I was a little weary of these, but I wore them for over 12 hours and my ears never hurt at all! I will definitely rent these for another party/formal event!
