Gorgeous but tough to keep up
I loved this dress and it was the perfect style for this event, but the tie in the back kept falling. I thought my triathlete back would keep it up but maybe it was the opposite. As a result, I felt self-conscious all night that a boob was going to pop out of the side, and I was constantly fidgeting with the dress. I wish they'd added some of the sticky material they use for strapless bras at the top of the bodice, which might have helped. (PS Don't judge the home photos, it was after the event and I was exhausted!).

Perfect for a presentation!
This was exactly what I was looking for to deliver a videotaped professional presentation. I normally wear a 4 and this fit perfectly.

Great for a business casual work event
Were these two a client event in Rome prior to a keynote presentation I was giving the next day. Wanted to make a positive favorable impression, and these did not disappoint! In a crowd of frilly dresses, this look was totally on trend and distinct. The pants fit great, I typically wore a size 4 and that suited me perfectly here. I loved the way they felt and I loved how I felt in them. The lining felt like I was being hugged all night, and I didn't have a problem with them being too warm but I can see how that could be an issue. This look was a home run for me! Photos are in my hotel room in Rome with terrible lighting, so don't blame the pants, blame the photographer!

Didn't wear it
I got this to wear for a keynote presentation. It was generally flattering but I felt the length was just a bit too long and made my thick triathlete calves look big. I ended up wearing a fuschia pantsuit instead.

Too small and not the right style for me
Not that I could wear it, but even if it had fit this just wasn't the right style for my athletic frame.

too snug in the shoulders for my swimmer's frame
I have really broad shoulders, so I was glad I got the next size up as a backup.

Loved it for my professional photo shoot
Loved this - very classy and elegant. We extended it by attaching another old chain to the back to create the look we wanted. Will upload photos once I have them back from the photographer
