Customer photo review of Strappy Mesh Bodysuit – Sensual Seduction

The straps in the photos appear adjustable but aren’t, simply little metal details that move. Had the straps been adjustable it would have been possible to fix them sagging as too loose for the bodysuit.

Customer photo review of Long Sleeve Ruffle Hem Mini Dress – Playful Elegance

Perfect transition dress for fall/ spring. Thick material, snug on body in flattering way.And I will consider adding a pair of pantyhose as a match when the weather gets colder. I suggest everyone can do the same, and the effect will definitely be good!!!!

Customer photo review of Long Sleeve Ruffle Hem Mini Dress – Playful Elegance

This product fits very well doesn't fold or bunch at the chest near the arm openings like so many shirts and dresses do now days from poor pattern cut and formulation. Being a sketchy knit it gives with you but isn't scratchy and the , but it's comfortable enough you can wear it around town to do errands and be comfortable and not dressed, just a little extra pretty that day.

Customer photo review of Flirty Pink Ruffled Two-Piece Set - Romantic Chic

It is beautiful, very shiny and the truth is if it is quite wide, I usually use L and I asked for M and even so it is too big especially the upper part. I can still use it but it doesn't fit as I would have liked! But it's pretty
