LOVED this gown!
This gown was perfect for my nephew's out-of-town black tie wedding! This gown survived the plane trip with no steaming needed once we got to our destination. It was light but provided good coverage (not always the case for wrap dresses). I was on the fence about wearing flats with this gown. I truly prefer flats, but I don't think it would have worked with the length. I ended up wearing 3-4" metallic silver heels and it really brought the whole look together.

Black Tie Jacket Option
Traveled to Dallas for a black tie wedding in February and wanted something in lieu of a shawl for my gown. This velvet jacket blazer was a great option! It looked chic with the gown I wore and was warm enough for the mid-30ºF cold snap we had that week. Overall great item!

Loved it, just prefer a bigger fit
This cardigan runs a bit small but was so fun! I prefer a baggier fit for my cardigans but this one was tight in the arms. I got many compliments while wearing it!

The neck has no give
I so wanted this shirt to work! The color and texture are beautiful. I'm not much of a purple person but I LOVE this shade! The fit seemed to be tight, but very true to size everywhere except for the neck. I don't think I have a particularly sick neck, but I was unable to zip this top up around my neck. Super bummed out about this one!

Runs slightly large but flexible
This dress is lovely! It feels luxurious on and the color is stunning. The sleeves allow for a lot of ventilation, which would be great for dancing. Worth noting: this is a heavy dress. While it does not feel heavy on. I ultimately decided against it because I'll be traveling with it and didn't want to lug around the extra weight in my suitcase. It seems to wrinkle a bit more easily than some other fabrics.

Larger on top
This is a lovely dress! The fabric is so flowey and light! This was an option for a black tie wedding and if it didn't have a church ceremony, I would have given it more consideration. I'm a bit smaller on top and curvier on the bottom. The bottom fit great, but I had a tough time filling out the top. I probably could have pulled it off with some fashion tape, but would have been pretty nervous about it.

The hips were impossible
I could not get this dress over my hips. It was otherwise lovely and looked like it would have been the perfect fit on my top half, but the hips weren't having it. If you are smaller up top and curvier on the bottom, I would recommend a back up.

I got loads of compliments at my bridal shower!
I have to admit, I was not super excited about this dress when I ordered it, but I needed a long dress just in case the weather was bad on the day of my bridal shower. I had initially picked out something short and sparkly. The morning of my shower, I looked out the window and saw snow. So I put on this dress, paired it with some silver heels and a cardigan and to my shower I went. Well, this dress seriously delivered! It was so springy on a dreary day! I can't remember the last time I received this many compliments on a dress. Overall it fit very well, but was a little long. I'm 5'6" and was wearing 3" heels and it just touched the floor. I would absolutely recommend this dress to anyone looking for a springy maxi!

Lovely dress!
This was my first choice of dresses to wear to my bridal shower, but unfortunately it was way too cold out to wear. The white sequin are a wonderful touch, especially since they're not too flashy. I saw that this dress is in other colors, so I may rent one of those at a later time.

This dress is comfortable, lightweight and cute as heck!
The coverage of this dress is great. No need for any kind of slip! I paired this with a black cardigan and a set of cute black kitten heals. This dress is so easy to dress up or down! Plus, it has pockets!

A cute dress for spring and I love how it has pockets!
This dress fit great but it was a struggle getting on. The zipper had a tough time getting up between where the top and skirt meet. I ended up not wearing this to my event because of the zipper. However, the dress itself is well-made and so dang cute. I really wish it would have worked out.
