Pretty color but unflattering on me
I am so disappointed that this dress did not work out. It looks gorgeous in photos of other people. Pros: the color is lovely, the sleeves are long enough for someone with long arms, and the waist is somewhat forgiving with the ruching. Cons: this dress was so hard to get on and I got super claustrophobic in it, the sequins on the sleeves are painful for sensitive skin, it is very unflattering for a smaller bust, and the neckline is subtly asymmetrical so it just looks like your boobs are lopsided. Most of the women in these photos look lovely in this dress, but it was not great for my body type. I got a medium (oh god so tight it was scary) and a large (better but looked bad with my bust) and ultimately wore a different dress.

More special than a typical LBD
I wore this dress to a movie premiere and it was perfect. It was very comfortable and flattering - I don't think you could ever see my little belly. It was great that I could wear a normal bra. The lace did not catch on anything which was a relief and it was not itchy at all (I have very sensitive skin). The length was great - right above the knee. I have long arms and the sleeves were fine. I am usually a 6 or an 8 and the 8 was perfect. I am a 34B and the cutout looked great (I think it would fit a bustier girl, too). I'm 5'6", 150 lbs.

Lovely, dramatic gown
I loved this dress so much! It is so flattering and comfortable. I could wear a normal bra which was awesome (the back is not too low for it). The color is so pretty and the fabric/pattern hides sweat, fat rolls, you name it. :D It even has pockets. The one problem I had was that the bust runs quite large. I am a 34B and typically wear an 8 with a 6 as my backup. I had to go with the 6 because the top was so huge on the 8, and even the 6 was a little too big on top so I had to be careful about my posture so it didn't gape open. I wore a padded pushup bra to help but there was only so much volume it could add.

Beautiful dress, runs so small
I love the way this dress looks and the material has a really cool, expensive-looking texture. Unfortunately, even though I am usually a 6 or an 8 in dresses, I could not even get the 8 over my butt. I'm not even sure that a 10 would have fit. I had a second dress ordered that I wound up wearing (size 6) and I am so glad I had the backup.

Gorgeous, comfortable cuff
I love this cuff so much I may need to go buy it. It's so beautiful and it was really easy to adjust the size to fit my wrist perfectly. It was comfortable all night and looked so pretty!

Stand-out accessory
These earrings are showstoppers. They are large and glamorous. The structure of the earrings is relevant to the problem I had; each earring has 3 sections to it, top middle and bottom, and top lies on top of middle, then middle lies on top of bottom. The one problem I had was that when I would turn my head, the bottom of the earring would pop out in front of the middle section, so I had to keep adjusting throughout the night. It was a little annoying but the earrings were really gorgeous.

Went to a masquerade ball with very formal attire.
This cuff is beautiful, elegant and comfortable! I have pretty big hands but medium wrists and it is a really high-quality elastic that fit fine over my hands but was then comfortably snug on my wrist. Lovely accent.
