Beautiful flowy dress, but a little large
I rented this lovely dress for my baby shower when I was 32 weeks pregnant, in my third trimester. The dress is a vibrant color, and the silk material feels really rich with a good weight. However, the dress did flare out a lot, making it way too large for me. I wore a size small, but had also rented the M. The M was like a tent and the keyhole front was really large, and gaped below my breast line. The S fit a little better where the keyhole did not gape as much, and ended at a decent location on my chest. I did use some bobby pins to pin in a placket down my back to try and gather the material closer to the torso and belly so the dress looked more fitted, which worked in a pinch, especially as I had my hair down for most of the shower. the neck ruffles also helped conceal the placket as well in the back. I'm usually a size small so I'd recommend renting your normal size and a size down for this dress, and try my temporary pinning trick to get a better fit - each person's belly is different!

Glitzy holiday party!
While the metal parts of the earrings looked a little beat up/cheap, the overall effect with the tassels made the earrings fun in a mod/glam sort of way. I wore these with a black sequined dress and the gold really popped!

glitzy office holiday party! Did not wear dress though.
I rented this dress for my office holiday party. The material of this dress high quality. However, while the lining showing under the black sequined lace looks gold in the RTR photos, it is more of an ecru/ cream in real life. A little disappointing, as I had rented black and gold bling to offset what I had thought was a black and gold dress. Also - the skirt is really structured and billows out like crazy. I'm not sure if that is because I wore a slightly larger size (2 wasn't available) or because I don't have supermodel legs (only 5'5" here) but because of the stiff material and the pleating the skirt really poufed away from my body from all sides - the front, the side, the back. If you have hips or a behind, it makes your hips and behind look even bigger. My husband took one look at the dress and asked me what the heck I was wearing. good thing I had my own backup dress! I really liked it in the images, and almost thought about having my bridesmaids wear the pink version for my wedding, but I'm glad I didn't!

It was a cute dress, it just didn't fit me right
I usually wear 2 and 4, but after reading reviews of how the hips are styled fairly narrow, I went for the 4 and the 6. The 6 was big all over on me, so I put on the 4. The hips were snug, but it did fit pretty well. However, the top was really baggy on me. Granted, I don't have huge breasts, but I am still around a 34B. The sides of the dress was super baggy on me, so side boob and bra could be seen.

The earrings added just the right amount of classy glam to the LBD I was wearing.
The earrings were a bit heavy, and I was worried that I was going to accidentally brush them off when adjusting my hair, but they stayed put!
