Unique dress, stands out from other LBD's
This dress runs bigger than expected. Ordered size 2 and 0. I was surprised by loose fit of the slip. I'm not straight (figured) by any means but 2 was too loose so fabric was bunching which you can see through the sequin layer on top. Overall fit of 0 was much better; however I wished the slip was little longer as it fit slightly above the gold trim at the bottom of the dress. I had to keep pulling down the slip all night long. Overall, it was a great dress and I got lots of compliments! Just be aware of the length, if you have long torso and /or bra size bigger than C Cup. The slip would be too tight.

Pretty but not unforgettable
PROS: This dress looks prettier in person than in the picture. Green adds more sparkles and interest to the dress. Fabric is light and feminine. I rented to wear for a wedding but this would be good option for holiday/cocktail events. CONS: Unfortunately, this dress had the same issue for me as the other dress I rented (Herve Leger Spellbinding red dress) that I didn't get to wear. I'm not sure if my torso is too short, or the cut is too long but top was bunching at my natural waist. Overall length on me looked little longer on me (~1" above my knee) Slightly shorter length would look cuter in my opinion Overall impression of the dress: Pretty, good for conservative events, would be flattering on most women but it didn't excite me.

Petite with short torso?
I was very excited to receive this as my backup dress as the dress I ordered was not available. PRO: Color is beautiful and cut of the dress shows just enough skin without being too sexy. It's very fitted from top thru just above the "rear cheeks". Great overall length (~2" above my knees). The fabric has a nice weight to it so it literally sucks in minors bumps that I wanted to hide. ;) CAN be worn without Spanx as I didn't see any difference between with and without. CONS: Unfortunately, this dress didn't fit quite right on me. Although it does fit small it still looks okay but the area that i couldn't get over is the bunching in the underarm/chest area. I am small chested and have a short torso. This is double whammy for this dress. =( I had to keep pulling down the dress and making the dress look longer. I ended up wearing my own dress from the closet. Overall, this dress really NEEDS to fit like a glove to look right.

Prettier on and not as heavy as i thought
I like the shape of this drop earrings. It added just enough sparkle to the outfit and perfect length for my chin length bob hair style. I also liked that it has two toned (silver and gold) metal finish so you can wear either and still looks coordinated. This can dress up any day outfit in an instant!

Cute Vintage style but too large for small wrist
This is a beautiful piece but just didn't fit well on my small wrist. Even though it has rhinestones/stones in them, It's not that blingy. If you are looking for that bling factor, pass this. It was too heavy to wear it. =(

weighty but not too heavy
This is a nice 'understated' statement necklace, if that makes sense. :). It provides enough punch to the outfit without being distracting. It's comfortable on and stays put. Backside is flat so it doesn't slide around your neck or poke/irritate your skin. Will rent it again for the right outfit! :).

Perfect length short gals like me. :)
This dress was sent to me as a back up dress as one that I wanted was not available. It fits true to size and length was great on my 5'2" height. I didn't wear the dress because the color made me washed out. It would be very cute for ladies of color or great tan. I think the details will pop out more with right completion and styling. Overall, it's a cute dress but wasn't for me.

I love to buy it! <3
Loved this clutch! It was just big enough to put my phone, keys, lip gloss and small hand lotion! Pattern is not too loud ad just pops against any bold color outfit/dress. It's the perfect accessory with function and style! The only thing that might bother some maybe the texture, pony hair.

Love this dress!
This dress is a really nice alternate to LBD for summer weddings/events. I sized down as many have suggested. I wore sz 0 with double tape and safety pin to hold the top from falling down to show my bra. It holds well until you hit the dance floor. It was little cumbersome to keep adjusting but I got a lot compliments! The color shows well in photos. I suggest going down 2 sizes if u have small chest or petite.

Call the stylist first before ordering this dress
I ordered this dress in size 40 but the dress was in a such bad shape that they had to send me two other dresses. So, if you are thinking of renting this dress in this size ask the stylist first to be sure. I gave it three stars to be aware of the wear issues as this seems to be one of their 'older' dresses and it may not be in the best shape. In spite of it all, my first experience with RTR has been a top notch. I want to give RTR stylist a shout out for an excellent customer service! Thank you Serena, Jessica, and Muriel for help with style suggestions and communicating everything promptly! Kari

Cute and fun summer dress for casual-chic functions
This was actually sent to me as an alternate dress as the dress I ordered was in a bad shape. The dress was flattering on which gathered at the natural waistline. Pattern/color is vibrant. Although this is a cute dress I didn't end up wearing it as it is too casual for the cocktail hour/evening hour wedding I attended. I might consider ordering this dress for a different day-casual outdoor wedding. I don't have much volume at the top but dress still hold up well. The length is perfect for the shorter gals like me. =)

Gorgeous!
I got these earring to wear with CUT 25 - Make a Move Dress for a wedding. I LOVED IT! It wasn't too flashy or heavy. It's gorgeous with the green dress without looking too matchy-matchy. The outfit was accessorized in accents of gold tone jewelries and shoes. I also rented the zebra print clutch which added a fun and chic flare to the outfit. I'd love to buy this! =)
