So comfortable! I wore this dress to work at a fundraising gala, so I had to be able to move easily and stash things in my pockets while mingling with black-tie donors. It was perfect! I received many compliments. I'm 5'9" and wore flats and the 6L almost skimmed the floor.

Beautiful colors, unusual hemline, wonderful flow. I got lots of compliments. The fit was slightly snug around my rib cage but still comfortable. I loved this dress and would happily wear it again.

This beautiful clutch was almost perfect. I love the boxy shape, and the gold mesh shines without being over the top. It was a glamorous accessory with my ruby red dress but the interior was much smaller than I expected. Other reviewers said it held all of the essentials, but it wouldn't close with both my iPhone 6 and my lip gloss. I had to put one in my date's pocket. It would have been big enough for my phone with a shorter lipstick.

I love the look of this bracelet. It is delicate with the perfect amount of sparkle and the asymmetrical angles are quite unusual. But the fit was odd. It was simultaneously too small and too big for me. I have average-sized wrists for someone my height (5'9") but it was difficult to get the cuff on. Once on, it seemed like a good fit, but in the middle of the award ceremony I was attending I realized the bracelet was gone. It must have fallen off while I was clapping. I panicked! Thankfully we found it under the neighboring table, but it gave me quite a scare.

I loved the dress, though it was a bit too short. I'm 5'9" and usually wear size 8 dresses, sometimes 10. I ordered 8L with 10R as my backup size. 8L was too small; it wouldn't even zip. The 10R fit well in the bodice but was too short. I had planned to wear 2 1/2" heals but had to run out and buy kitten heals at the last minute to make the dress work. If you are 5'9" or taller and plan to wear heals, get the long size! Another issue: I have a large bust (34D) and thought I would be able to wear a T-back bra. Unfortunately the straps showed. I wore a strapless bra instead, and looked a little droopy.

The iridescent green and gold in the lace add subtle sparkle to an elegant dress. I am 5'9" and normally wear an 8 in dresses, sometimes a 10. I should have ordered the long sizes but they were not available on my dates, so I took a chance and ordered 8R and 10R. They were both far too short - ankle length. The 8R was a great fit in the waist and bust, but the cap sleeves were a little bit constricting. The sleeves would have been fine for my event - an award ceremony - but might be uncomfortable for dancing. The 10R was too big in the waist and bust. I couldn't wear either size - too bad because it really is a lovely dress.
