Cute, comfortable and forgiving.
I loved this dress because it was comfortable and forgiving. It's almost like a jersey type fabric. It was a little heavy for summer, though.

As always, Elizabeth and James delivers a little spin on a simple classic dress.
I loved LOVED this dress. I only wish I had dolled it up with some more accessories, because it was a little plan on its own.

Perfect LBD. Form-fitting but not risque.
How I love this dress, let me count the ways. It is a testament to the power of the LBD. It hugs my curves without making me lumpy anywhere and is sexy without being inappropriate for a wedding, for example.

A ray of sunshine!
This was perfect for a day to night wedding. The dress itself is a tad more neon than it looks in the photos, but I was totally okay with that. The dress itself is perfect for someone that has good arms but a big butt. Plus, no spanx necessary!

I LOVED this dress and got so many compliments!
This dress was perfection. Thick enough so i didn't have to wear spanx to smooth it all out, comfortable enough to dance in. (Although it's really short, so when we danced to 'Shout', i didn't raise my hands too high...) I got a 4 and a 6, and i ended up wearing the 4.

So cute, Runs a tiny bit big
If you're into accessorizing, you'll love this dress. I didn't wear the necklace I got to go with it b/c i didn't end up liking it, but i wore some stand out earrings that you can't see in the pics. It runs a tiny bit big -- i say that because I ordered a 6 and an 8 as backup (my usual combo cuz my butt is generously sized) and even for the 6, the hem and the sleeves are longer than they are in the pics, and the darts are a tad lower than i'd have liked. The cut makes it so that it still worked, though.

Looked worse for wear.
The metal part of the necklace didn't look shiny and new -- it looked kind of like dirty brass. It just looked like what happens to non-precious metal when it's been worn a lot, so I didn't end up wearing it.

Great for Baby Shower!
This dress was lovely, except that the straps kept falling down. Had I owned the dress, I would have taken it to a tailor and had them adjust the straps, but since it was rented, and I didn't have time, I had to suck it up.

Perfect Dress to wear with loud jewelry
I loved this dress and it fit great, but I had to pin the neck because it's low and loose, and i wanted to avoid any -- ahem -- wardrobe malfunctions.
