Comfortable and sexy!
So I am a 34 (or 36 depending on the brand) B/C bust, with a relatively broad back. I wore a sticky NuBra with the dress to try and help fill it out a little and keep my girls in a decent looking location. The dress was tight in the rib cage area for about 2" below the line of where a regular bra would sit, but good everywhere else. The dress does NOT have a slit in the skirt, which is the only reason I didn't wear it out dancing later in the evening after my birthday dinner. When going to use the women's room, it was a tight squeeze to get the skirt up over my hips (36" at widest part), but it worked. I loved the dress, and when it is sold intend to buy it and have it tailored just a little so it fits me better. Overall, great dress, high quality, arrived in perfect shape, and wore beautifully through the evening. I paired it with the HOUSE OF HARLOW 1960 Silver Sunburst Bangle Set and dangly silver twisted earrings (Target) that I fell in love with. If you like an open back (which I do because I love to show my back tattoo), and are comfortable taking girly steps, this dress is totally worth the rental.

Awesome!
They are pretty heavy, but comfortable. The detailing is wonderful, and they went great with the Theia one shoulder leather dress I wore to dinner for my 30th birthday, and out to the club that night in my jeans and black leather skyhigh heeled boots :-D I wore them one on each wrist so they wouldnt clink together, and they were perfect. I will be keeping an eye out for them when they go on sale, and can see myself renting them over and over again!

Great, unique earrings
I wore these with a black lace sheath dress, black patent pumps, and a gold cuff bracelet recommended to me by RTR stylists. The earrings stayed on through a night of dancing outside at a semi-fomal conference social event. They are simple and classy enough to go beautifully with a LBD, yet unique enough to bring it up a notch.

Great thicker dress. Super comfy!!
This was my first time wearing this designer and material. It was great. I could have worn the small, but it was a bit tight across the hips and i didnt think it would work well for walking. The medium was still form fitting, comfortable, and colorful. I have relatively larger hips, so it kept riding up as i walked, but its length helped that not be an emergency. I got lots of compliments, and will be renting this designer again.

The top decorations are dangly :-D
Great fit, comfortable, high quality fabric. I wore this for a rehearsal dinner of a black tie wedding, with the rehearsal in an older catholic church. It was perfect and the little bow in back was a great touch! Loved it!! Would love to own!! Oh, and the pearl thing at the top have dangly parts that swish as you move!!!

nice clutch
very true to the pictures. opens up for a relatively large interior, though small enough not to be overwhelming with an outfit. it is very shiny due to the chain-mail-like metal covering the outside. As a result of the metal, it is a bit heavier than your normal clutch- not obnoxiously so, but you know when you have it in your hand. there is a small chain that can tuck inside for holding in your hand. I would like to see an option to wear this over the shoulder or cross body as sometimes you just need your hands free, and don't want to set your clutch down. overall, good clutch, stays closed securely, and i would recommend it.

light weight, pretty color
These are very light weight, pretty in color, and a good size for statement earrings. I wore them with the David Meister teal Vision in Lace dress, and they really helped the dress pop. They swing just enough to give you some movement, but not so much you have to worry about them turning around while you are wearing them.

Super cumfy and great color
I ordered this as my back up dress, and ended up wearing it because the other dress didn't fit right. This dress is very comfortable, a great color (a bit of a darker teal than suggested in the photo), and very flattering for that stubborn post baby pooch that is so darned hard to get rid of. It will not work with a regular bra as the straps go towards your neck in the back. I work a standard racerback bra, and it worked great. There isn't a lot of give in the bottom hem, but its pretty roomy in the hip area (I am ~41" in hips). The only down side is the arm holes are a little large, and I feel like if I wasn't wearing the cardigan, then my bra may have shown. To note though, I wasn't wearing the cardigan because of that reason. My function was a business event, and I needed sleeves to wear and help cover the rest of my tats in a professional manner. I paired the dress with Kendra Scott Abalone Deily earrings. I highly recommend this dress, and will probably be ordering it again in the future.

beautiful, but a little small
this dress was my first choice for a business formal event, but was only available in a 10 at the timeframe I needed. I figured I would try it. I is pretty tight across the hips, and the arms are a little snug for a 10. i think the 12 would have fit fine, but didn't have it as an option. the color is a beautiful, rich deep blue, and the length is as pictured on the model. I will definately be ordering this again for another event when they have a larger size available :-)

Great for the back side, and ruffles are super sweet
ordered 10 and 12, 12 fit best. I couldn't get the 10 over my hips (~40 1/2 in), though I have tried on multiple K.S. dresses before and size 10 normally works for me. The dress isn't white and black as it looks. Its a little off-white and black. The belt comes with and is very easy to use and it stays pretty still. The dress did amazing things for my junk in the trunk, while still looking sweet and respectable. I did a 2 hr flight in it+walking around a city for ~5 hrs and it was very comfortable. Its not very forgiving for post baby pooches though. The ruffles on the bottom were very cumfy and move nicely when you walk. I would definitely buy this one!

cumfy, a little tight around hips
material doesn't wrinkle easily, is very cumfy to wear, and length is just right. there is a neon green/yellow piece of fabric right at the base of the neckline that is a little different, but its a nice dress. ordered the 10 and 12, 12 fit best. 10 wouldn't go over my hips (~40 1/2 ").

Just enough sparkle to bump up an outfit to the next level
Great size, very very light, nice, wide, secure backs, and they are very pretty. They aren't too big (I have small ears). I wore them with a sundress and boots to a winery tour and they were perfect!
