East meets West
VERY short slip! Beware when sitting! Fit wonderfully otherwise. Perfect lightweight dress for mid70s weather.

Great day-to-night dress for many seasons
I took this on a vacation to three different climates -- India (80s and humid), Korea (30s and freezing), and Japan (50s and cool). I wore it with flats to walk around the city during the day and with heels for formal 3-Michelin star dinners. It was lined and well-made, but still lightweight enough to pack easily in a carry-on for a three-week trip.

Easy year-round cocktail dress
Way too big and no liner or strapless support! Otherwise, great color on a simple dress with just enough embellishment.

Beautiful colors, convenient pockets, and high/low hem for black tie-optional event
This was a bit flattening on top, but it stayed up easily... I was dancing all night!

Loose sleeves, but a gorgeous dress!
I got both the 2 and the 4 to wear for my college commencement ceremonies. The 2 was a little tight and the 4 was very loose, so I went with the 2 so the sleeves wouldn't slip off as much (they still did, although the bodice became impossible to sit in after eating!). The quality of the dress was wonderful- bright silver and gold- and I got many compliments. Because the sleeves are pretty loose, the dress really isn't conducive to wearing a slip. Maybe a strapless bra might even be useful.

Shiny graduation dress, but be careful of the arms!
I ordered this dress for my college graduation to go under a purple cap and gown. I thought it would be more of a muted color, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a bright silver dress! It fit well and had clasps to secure my bra straps, but be careful wearing a regular bra-- by pulling the straps into the dress, they'll dig into your arms/ shoulders. I ordered the 2 and the 4, and the 2 fit pretty well (there seemed to be a little extra fabric around my lower back, though).

So worth it after your first or second dress!
A free dress on your birthday and no worries when you rent? Of course! The only thing better are the punch cards in the NY showroom!

This was short, like a choker, but it was perfect and understated!
This was a bit small, so it would probably match a dress with a higher neckline better. It was still beautiful with my V-neck dress and was of good quality.

Great quality, and it has pockets!
I wore this to a "business formal" event at the Pierre Hotel in NY that I knew would lean more towards the "formal" than the "business." It was a wonderful conservative, classy dress that dipped a bit lower in the back. I fit easily into the 2 at 135 pounds with a little wiggle room, so make sure to order down for your second size. It'll go well with any crystal necklace!

A fun and flexible gown! Order down.
I normally only get to wear black tie gowns to business events, so I went for sequins this time around. The 4L was way too big and the 2L was actually a bit loose in the bust/ low cut even though I'm a C/D cup. I recommend going for the long length if you're over 5'6" and going to wear heels at all. This was really comfortable for dancing at my university senior formal, but was a bit hot because of the thick lining inside.

I wore this with an Erin by Erin Featherston teal gown to a black tie gala in New York.
I had strangers complimenting this necklace all night! It is a heavy necklace but looks amazing with a teal dress and an updo. My only complaint is that the bronze chain looks a bit dirty and cheap. I was hesitant to rent this because I typically dress very traditionally/conservatively and I thought necklace was too "loud", but it ended up being a perfect match.

Great conservative/ business black tie gown! Order up in size.
This dress was great for a black tie event (Australian American Association Gala, January in New York), but I ended up wearing the 8! The 6 technically fit, but it really flattened me at the chest and pulled on my arms. Order up! For reference, I was 140 pounds at the time. I wore this with a Slate and Willow statement necklace and everyone complemented me on the fantastic match in color!
