gilt-y for the first time

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).

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!!

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).
