Beautiful dress with wonky hem
Dress has a really solid fabric, heft, and construction. The bodice is corseted with a grippy liner around to keep the dress in place. The straps are adjustable. There is an underskirt that feels really nice and it helps keep it warm but not hot. Both under- and overskirts have a plastic mesh on the inside to give the hem weight, but my overskirt's hem was wonky because the plastic mesh crinkled. Steaming did not fix this and my backup size's hem was perfectly flat. It bothered me, but ultimately wasn't very noticeable. Dress was lovely and got lots of compliments, but the hem was frustrating!

Beautiful back and perfect skirt for dancing
As others have said, the dress was hard to zip once it got to the band. It required another hand and a bit of force but once it was on, it fit perfectly. The skirt was amazing; flowing perfectly when spinning/turning and it looked incredible when walking down stairs. The fabric was comfortable for the entire wear time. I wore 4" heels and it was about an inch off the ground. I did not need to wear a bra (though I am small chested) and the dress comes with cups. I'm not sure if it was a tear, but the zipper seemed to get twisted between the layers when it was fully unzipped. It was manageable but mildly annoying when zipping. Overall, I received countless compliments on the back and the elegant dress stood out among a sea of cliched beaded prom dresses.

Beautiful bag but not enough depth
This clutch was so soft to the touch and a lighter gold than in the picture. There was some wear at the corners, but it was unnoticeable. The opening to the bag is a system of hinges at the edges and middle that audibly snaps shut and stays that way until you pull it open again; nothing will fall out accidentally. There is enough room in the clutch for the basics as long as they're relatively flat. Anything with depth makes the bag bulge. Also, my iPhone 6 had to be adjusted to fit in the clutch at times; I couldn't just throw it in and snap it shut. If you have something smaller, it will be fine. Otherwise, it was a great bag!
