Light, Ladylike and Lovely

These clip earrings make a subtle impression and add a delicate finishing touch to an outfit. Though delicate looking, they are sturdily made even with the multiple accents [roses, pearls and rhinestones]. After close examination, I felt confident pieces wouldn't be dropping off after one wearing.  Also, the ear clips do not pinch and can be worn comfortably.  A definite nod to when hats were in fashion not function and to ladies who lunch; sometimes bigger isn't better. A great retro change.

Very nice looking and so light I can't feel that I'm wearing. Just the right size for me. Not big and gaudy.

I took these on a trip to Great Britain in the fall and they were comfortable and attractive.  They are light, water-proof, pretty and can be worn comfortably without socks.  Inner lining is smooth.

See customer photos... Understand that these earrings are a decent size and not dainty. That said, they are very light and comfortable. They also have an antique bronze type look, and are wonderfully pretty and dramatic.

Lovely.... Calm and without pretense. You will become relaxed and inspired, perhaps to change the colors in your house ...or your mood !

This is a light, charming little story, with clever dialogue and well-developed characters. A nice comfortable read.

A gentle courtship plays out in the golden years of life. Tsukiko in middle age happens to meet her Japanese teacher from secondry school, Harutsuna  Matsumoto  Sensei  and it is their unfolding circular dance of growing friendship that is at the heart of this short, 2 hour read. It is gentle and philosophical, as they arrange encounters and finally dates; it is leisurely at times, intense at others, as they forage for mushrooms, go out to an island, feast on Japanese food, take dips in hot springs and spend plenty of time drinking sake.

Tsukiko is almost girlish in her ways but the firm and sobering hand of Sensei is always there to guide and educate and be the hand of reason.

It is a gentle read, a snapshot of life and love in Japan,  which I was pleased to have read, but which will fade  just as love can  over time, leaving a warm feeling of the experience.

tl;dr bottom line: The dress is lightweight and breezy, moves nicely, is not super clingy but shows every little undergarment line and texture. I am going to buy more in other colors and would recommend this to others.

So, the dress! I like it a lot. The lavender pattern is playful and reminds me of Usagi's purple bed sheets in Sailor Moon.

The fit: I normally wear a size 16 and ordered a size XL in this dress. (If I wanted a tighter fit, I could have easily worn a large, but I'm going more for comfort than clingy.) I'm 5'8 with a short waist and 33" inseam and the dress ends at about 3" above the knee. I thought the shoulder straps would be more narrow, based on the product photo, but they're a nice, comfortable 2". The neckline is a shallow scoop and sits comfortably, no gapping or shifting around unless I have my arms up, as you see in the photo. When I wear it with a belt, the dress shifts up a bit in the front as I walk, but it's not a major drawback, and it does not shift up like this if I wear the dress plain.

The waist on this is pretty high, almost an empire, so I think it would be fine for ladies such as myself who have big hips and a tummy.

The fabric: A nice weight, stretchy, a little slippery, with a satin sheen to it. Reminds me of a heavy swimsuit fabric. You'd think this would be a negative and the dress would look and feel cheap, but it's actually pretty nice, especially on a hot day. The fabric provides the dress a nice flow of air, and the skirt flips around playfully as you walk.

The printing of the fabric pattern is a little fuzzy, kind of what it looks like when you print a big poster from a low-resolution image. But, it's not enough to make it look bad. You only notice this upon close inspection, and this is a casual dress, so I'm not concerned with this.

At this size, the fabric is not clingy on me, but it will reveal every little line and texture of what you're wearing underneath. No lacy underthings with this dress. You need to wear smooth, no-show bras and underwear. If you are concerned about this dress showing your body in an unflattering way, some Spanx would be a simple solution.

The last two things are the reasons I docked a star. Otherwise, I really like this dress and I'm going to buy more in other colors.

These earrings look far nicer in real life. They are delicate and very finely wrought. They are also nice and light and don't hurt your ears, I was able to wear them all day.

If you like folksy type jewelry, these are a nice addition.
