So I went ahead and did it… I made my first Gilt purchase last week. I have a wedding to attend next week, and when I saw this Cynthia Rowley dress… I knew it was perfect. I’ve long been a fan of the cut-out-shoulder look since Julia Roberts sported it in Notting Hill when her character starred in Helix… and I realize how wonderfully it disguises my well-sized shoulders.
As far as Gilt goes, it was a great process all the way along. It arrived about a week after my order,  nicely packed on its hanger in a flat box via UPS. All it needs is a little bit of steam and it will be ready for its debut in Manhattan (Beach that is).

    LOVE the dress. Tres chic and a great color to boot!

    You don’t have any spare invites for the gilt site do you? I’d love to check it out, but says you need to be invited by a current member :( Thanks!!

    Oooh, that’s gorgeous! Planning to post pics of you in the dress? When is the wedding?

    I LOVE the color! I am definitely not tall and thin enough for the dress, but on the right person, it is striking because it’s so unique — I love that it’s not the standard strapless cocktail dress that everyone seems to wear to weddings these days!
    I haven’t made any Gilt purchases myself — but glad to hear that the process is smooth, should anything strike my fancy (and actually be in my price range).
