Super cute purse, very soft.
It fits my iphone, a few cards/cash and a couple of lipsticks. The strap is a gold chain so it can be dressed up but it also looks cute with jeans.

Great dress that I have rented several times
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner & a concert. I got a ton of compliments. There is no stretch in the waist so I recommend sizing up. I usually wear a size 2 or 4 and I rented a 6 which fit comfortably.

I didn't like them as much as expected
They were pretty heavy which became uncomfortable after a while. I prefer to wear something lighter weight.

They are nice everyday jeans
They fit well, and have a nice amount of stretch to them. I like the frayed hem.

These earrings are fabulous.
Everyone loved them. They are certainly large, but are not heavy at all and I barely noticed them once they were on.

I did not end up wearing this jacket
I liked everything about this faux-moto jacket, except there are buckles on the side that looked chinzy to me. My mom would have thought they were cute. It fit well and was comfortable though, so I'm sure it will work well for someone else.

I did not end up wearing this shirt
It was much boxier than I expected and it didn't flatter my body.

Loved the leather sleeves
I liked the fit - somewhere between a cardigan and a jacket. The material was thick and sat nicely even with heavy pockets. The leather on the sleeves was super soft and I got a lot of compliments.

I did not end up wearing the top.
It would have been great if it was just an inch or two longer. I was planning on wearing it with high-waisted jeans, but the top was just a little too short. Also I could button it up just fine, but as there is no stretch I'm not sure how comfortable it would be.

The dress was beautiful, perfect for a cold weather date to the theater.
It was way too big on me and would have looked much better if it was fitted around the middle. I also didn't love where the pattern on the front hit my chest. I have a long-ish torso so I kept wanting the pull the front of the dress down so that the bottom of the pattern hit just below my bust.

Too Matronly
I did not end up wearing this dress (I had ordered a 2nd style as a backup). When I tried it on it made me look too matronly. The sequins are pretty big, so the fabric underneath them has to be pretty substantial (thick) to support them. I'm sure this would look fabulous on a thinner woman, or one with curves in the right places, but as a medium-sized gal I just couldn't wear it. The draping made me look hippy (but not in a sexy way). Too bad - I really wanted to love it!

Funky Bodice, Flowy Skirt
I liked the look of the dress and it worked for what I needed. I wore it to a black tie wedding 6 weeks post-partum and so the flowy skirt did a nice job of hiding some of the squishier parts. The boning on the inside of the dress was a little funky and twisted though. It didn't bother me at first, but by the end of the night I was so ready to be done with the dress. I also felt a little self-conscious with the V cutout, but other guests said they couldn't see as much as could (looking straight down at them). In the end I wish I had chosen a different dress.

Gorgeous color, comfortable fit
The dress fit well and I did not feel like I had to keep pulling the top up like you do with some strapless dresses. The fabric was not too heavy. I wore 2.5 inch heels and the length seemed fine. I went with the smaller size so I didn't have to wear a bra. The bodice is fitted, so if you might want to go with a larger size if you worry about a tight top pushing out the love handle area (if that makes any sense).

A bit too "baby doll"
I liked the color and the idea of the dress, but when I tried it on I did not like the way it fit. I am in my early thirties and thought this dress would be really cute on a teenager. Just a little too short and sweet.

What a great idea!
I got a surprise pair of earrings that worked perfectly with my dress. I would definitely sign up for this again.

I loved this dress. It was unbelievably comfortable and made me feel fabulous.
The color was fabulous and I got so many complements. I honestly didn't want to leave the event because I didn't want to take the dress off. The slit was a little lower than it looks on the model. I got the 8R and 10R and ended up wearing the 10R because the zipper was a little funky on the 8. (I usually wear a size 6 or 8 dress, but read other reviews and sized up because of the bodice.) Both fit fine, but I felt more comfortable wearing a strapless bra under the 10. Probably could have gone without a bra if I had worn the 8. The length worked well for 3 inch heels, and would have been a little too long in flats. I wore the "Alexis Bittar Gold Pave Teardrop Earring" from RTR and last minute added a belt I had from Anthropologie.
