Bold statement
I think this is a great necklace for solid color, simple dresses. I knew the "stones" would be big but didn't anticipate the necklace being quite as big as it is. But I did still really like it - it worked with the simple shift dress I wore. The necklace is still light to wear. The color was great - a medium cobalt blue. Definitely a bold statement necklace, but a fun one with the right outfit!

Felt so feminine, classic and pretty!
First things first: The numbered sizing for this dress definitely runs small. I am always a 4 in a-line dresses (every now and then a 6 if the bottom is fitted). I took a 42 in this dress. I think RTR listed that as a 6 but the dress tag says it's a US 8. So I would suggest to not match your exact US size. That having been said, the 42 fit perfectly. The waist was not tight but still fitted. . I have a 27" natural waist and found the 42 fine - it fit but I had enough room for a meal. :) I think if i had the next size smaller the bust would have been too tight (it does smush a bit as other reviewers have mentioned). I am 5'5" and the hem hit an inch or so below my knee. The skirt portion is very voluminous but hangs nicely (it did not poof out even on my pear-shape frame). The actual fabric is lace with a lining, which is hard to tell from the site photo. Overall I felt very lovely and feminine. I'm surprised this dress is supposed to cost so much - I get that it's Moschino but it lacked special details you'd fine in high-end dresses (I.e. lingerie straps). But I really did enjoy wearing it.

Beautiful color and details!
I wore this for a dinner date. I wore the small. I will categorize it as true to size, but just a note to anyone very curvy: I am small framed for my waist but curvy on the bottom (13 inch difference between natural waist and fullest part of bottom/hips) and the start of the ruffles section hit/was stuck right at the widest part of my bottom, but using the included ribbon sash completely helped because it brought the bottom part of the dress up a little bit, allowing the hem to move freely on the bottom. But for more proportional folks, should be very true to size. I didn't feel like it was too short standing but when I sat down it seemed really short, just be aware. The color and details (nice pleating and ruffles!) are so beautiful in real life. I felt classy yet flirty and the BF loved it!
