Stand out in the crowd
The dress was gorgeous and really stood out at the formal event I attended. I felt very ethereal with the flowing gown. I was able to chat with a fit stylist who let me know that this runs small so I sized up and it fit pretty well (slightly loose in the chest but not enough to be a problem). The Long is also very long! I am 5'9" and had 4 inch heels and the bottom hem was dragging a bit. I was careful not to let it get stepped on but in a more crowded venue, that might have been an issue. The Rose Lear earrings definitely complimented the dress nicely and were a good suggestion.

New Years Eve Sparkle
This is probably the first dress I rented where I was a little underwhelmed. The 4 was just slightly too tight (though I could have worn it) so I went with my backup size 6 for comfort. However, both dresses were looking a bit worn to me. The 4 was wrinkled at the bottom in the back panel, and it would have been hard to iron it given the way the dress is constructed. Both dresses had very wrinkled ties (in the back), although I was able to deal with that using an iron pretty easily. Overall, it was a nice dress and had a subtle sparkle to it that was nice for a New Year's Eve party - just not as lovely as I had hoped it might be.

Great formal wedding option
This fit perfectly for me with my heels. The dress flowed nicely and felt comfortable. I received several compliments (even from the bride!)

Made for beautiful engagement photos
This dress was very tight on me - I should have gotten the larger second size option. I could barely get it on... but when I did, it looked amazing. The dress hugs your curves and the cut is very flattering. The long sleeves are a great option for some chillier nights.
