Playful and stunning ring!
Absolutely stunning. I adored this ring and wanted to keep it! It is a huge statement ring with gorgeous coloring and sparkly detail on the top. So many compliments on it! Would definitely rent again and again.

Beautiful print!
Adorable print! But stiff fabric that was not very soft. Rented for a special weekend, and ended up wearing something else. I could have worn it; it fit beautifully and hit right below the knee, but the fabric wasn't comfortable. Not much stretch to the fabric. Cute daisy detail at the neck and sleeve.

Dowdy, clingy shape and seam
Weird, unsightly seam right in the middle of the waist. Heavy fabric that clung most unflatteringly. I would not suggest this dress for anyone with an apple shape. I didn't enjoy this dress at all and did not end up wearing it. I had planned to wear it for my birthday.

Fun, playful navy winter dress
SUCH a great dress! I found it to be comfy, flattering, and fun. It's a heavier weight, almost like a sweater, so it was great for a wintertime dress-up girls' day. Beautiful detailing starting on the bottom and reaching up the dress and on the neckline, sassy exposed zipper in the back, and fun, faint dots (almost like a pinstripe) take this frock from simple to stunning. Would rent again, in a heartbeat.

Dogwood Delight
OH my goodness, this dogwood blossom ring. I really loved it and wanted to keep it! It's so fun and playful, while being elegant and not too over the top. The simple lines are so beautiful. I would love having this cocktail ring in my jewelry rotation. It's sassy and classy at the same time. Updated to add that I've rented it again, and this time it left green marks on my finger. Too bad. I really loved this ring!

Turtles!
This turtle ring! The best. I had so much fun wearing it on a special girls' weekend. It's unique, gorgeous, and just what I was looking for. I would be over the moon happy to have this cocktail ring in my jewelry box! Updated to add that I rented this ring again, and it was just as delightful the second time around!

Glittering perfection!
This ring is fabulous! I loved wearing it for my fancy ladies night out. It's like a cross between a very light robins egg blue and a very light teal. It's big and bold without being gaudy and gauche. I would adore owning this ring and will definitely be renting it again. What a beautiful jewel! I was so happy with it.

Sparkly and Special
This dress was an absolute dream! I love how fun and sparkly it is! It was a little itchy under the arms, due to sequins, but, frankly, I was having too good a time to be too bothered by it. I also had to rig my bra so that it didn't show. A strapless bra with a very low back would work well, probably. The only true drawback is the length. I'm a shorty (5'3"), so it fell at not a very flattering part of my leg -- a couple inches below my knee -- a little dowdy. So, it might work well on someone a little more statuesque, but for us short ladies, it doesn't fall at the most advantageous part of the leg. In any case, I would probably rent again! It's very classy and pretty!

Feathers were my favorite part
This was the least favorite dress I have ever rented here. It was shapeless, and the color of the lace wasn't pretty; it looked dingy and old. It's not white or ivory or champagne. It's hard to describe, but the lace just looked faded and shabby. I did love the feathers! They were great. I didn't have a problem with the length of the dress, as I'm not very tall. I would not rent this dress again, and I wouldn't recommend it, either.

Classy, gorgeous!
I love this dress! It's romantic, flattering, comfortable, and a gorgeous color. It's a deep royal blue in person. Other reviewers have mentioned the shoulder pads, but they didn't bother me. In fact, I hardly noticed they were there at all, except for a few minutes while putting on and adjusting the dress. I'm 5'4" and wore 3" heels, and the regular length was a little long, but nothing that couldn't be handled with careful maneuvering. I wore this dress to ring in the new year, and it was perfect! I would absolutely rent this dress again! I'd love to share a photo, but the website's giving me trouble uploading photos.

Like a fairytale!
This was a dream to wear! I loved the brilliant royal blue lace and the pockets! The dress was double-lined with nude satin, so no chance of seeing through the lace. The sleeves can be a little tight, but I didn't feel uncomfortable or restricted. Some people commented that the dress is a little short, but it felt just right to me. Would definitely rent this beauty again. I wished it were mine to keep!

Nothing but good things to say about this beauty!
Wow, this dress is so beautiful, comfortable, chic, and classy! I loved the lacy details and the ribbon trim. I honestly can't think of anything that I would change about this dress. I like the little snaps that hold your bra strap in place -- practical! In person, this dress is red with a touch of pink. I am so happy that I've discovered that I can order a 14W from this designer and it will fit beautifully every time. I don't want to send it back! I love it too much!

Berry Nice!
I rented this dress for my birthday, and I loved it! The color is a vibrant berry shade. The shape really did a lot for my figure, giving really nice definition to my bust and skimming over the rest of my body, without clinging or being baggy. Only complaint is it's a little long on us short girls. Not quite to the point of being matronly, but I wished it hit just at or above my knee. Maybe I could use some fashion tape to fold the hem up for the night, as I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat. Oh, and my man loved it, too, so double bonus!

Adorable and small
I didn't end up wearing this dress (size 14), as it ran small. It's super cute, and I wished it were about 1 size bigger. Length was perfect on me, neckline interesting, and the print vibrant and fun and unique. Also, navy colored liner underneath makes the dress even better.

Fun, sassy, and unique
This dress is a beautiful dark navy with sequins. I came thisclose to wearing it, but in the end, decided against it. Very deep and plunging neckline. The 16 was a bit tight around the midsection, and the slip kept tugging strangely, I kept adjusting it, but it never hung right. Also, you will want someone to give you a hand with this tricky zipper. This would be a fun dress for NYE or the like, but I felt like it was far too risqué to wear to a wedding. I ended up wearing my backup dress, Adrianna Papell Take Me Out dress.

Comfortable and classy
The website photo makes this dress appear silvery blue. It's more of a dark marine blue, a really gorgeous color, actually; very rich. Also, I was hoping it would skim my knees, like in the photo, but, as I'm short, it came quite a few inches below my knee. Very full pleated lacy skirt. This was just the right amount of dressiness I was seeking, for the wedding I attended. I paired it with a ruffled black sweater. Features I liked: the snap and loop that held my bra straps in place, the several loops that held the ribbon belt and kept it from sliding down to my hips. The 14W wasn't available, so I ordered the 16W. 14W would have been more my size. The dress was a little large in the bust area. Still, comfortable, classy, and romantic. I would rent this dress again (in 14W hopefully)!
