Preen

Due to a last minute upgrade, I was able to rent this much more expensive dress and turn an otherwise ordinary night grabbing a drink with friends into something truly spectacular. The material is thick and luscious, and the spandex top is an extremely flattering, although more of a tangerine color than the rest of the red dress. It created a very flattering neckline, and also did the trick of hiding some bruises from a mosh pit at a concert earlier that week. There was a nonstop stream of compliments: even when I tripped, fell, and scraped my knee from walking around in 6" heels, the bartender told me that I looked extremely fierce before handing over some ice and band-aids (nothing got on the dress, as the hemline was significantly higher). All in all, excellent rental. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to wear it - and admit that I really was the smaller size I was secretly suspecting I was becoming :)
