Darling

I immediately fell in love with this gorgeous piece - from the moment I saw it online to the moment I received it and tried it on. I loved the sumptuous texture (in person it's easier see the layers of silk and tulle piled one on top of the other) and the delicate color (sort of a tea rose - I think the photo gives a very accurate representation).

I am not petite (tall and curvy), and though some past reviewers led me to think the bolero might look boxy on me (the term "football padding" was used in one review), I honestly don't believe this is the effect the jacket has at all. If the rest of your outfit is lovely and pulled together - like an ivory chiffon grecian wedding gown with a plunging neckline perhaps, haha - this beautiful bolero will only compliment and adorn you with a dainty kind of oomph, if dainty oomph is possible. I adored wearing it at my wedding, got so many compliments, and really felt amazing in it.

Note: Because of the delicateness of the fabric, it does squash easily in a closet even in a dress bag, but a little light steaming fluffs it right back up again.

I love the idea of this bolero, but didn't quite like how it looked on me. I'm 5'10"/size 8 and I ordered the S/M. If I were going to keep it, I think I would exchange for M/L.
So my problem with this item is the color...it's very pale (varying shades of light blush) and I feel washed out with it over an ivory dress (+ I have blonde hair). I think how the model is wearing it is fantastic - auburn model and over a coral dress! This could really be a stand out piece, but on me, not so much.

Sending back.

I wanted to love this. What I wasn't accounting for was the bolero looking so tattered and frayed. It's also very puffy, adding a lot of bulk in the shoulder area, which will likely make anyone with a body mass index over 18 look like they're wearing football padding.

Absolutely stunning!

I just wore this piece for my wedding on the weekend, and recieved so many compliments. The detailing is beautiful and blended so well with my ivory silk dress, yet added a subtle hint of color.
