Need to be waif like thin
Not very flattering if you're hippy. Disappointed as I loved the color combination and style. Didn't wear.

Easy and chic!
This was a last minute back-up and I'm so glad I found it for a summer chic wedding. The color and style were so flattering and I received many compliments at a formal, high profile wedding. I would definitely rent this again for another affair!

Beautiful workmanship but not practical
Besides being incredibly pricey, the dress is extremely formal with a flourish on the back and runs very small. Ultimately it did not work for me.

Little sparkle to top off an outfit!
Lightweight and universally flattering!

Chic clutch
Great way to top off an outfit for a fraction of the cost! Good size to fit phone, lipstick, credit card and some cash.

Chanel for a week!
I rented this as a surprise for my best friend's birthday -- Chanel for a week. Originally I had rented a more understated black bag, but it was returned by the previous renter in unusable condition (making me think someone threw up in it or something!) Fortunately, RTR set me up with this one and although I thought it was a bit much for everyday at first, it was really fun. It inspired my friend to get a vintage white Chanel when she was in Paris a couple of months later :)

Vintage Chanel Ivory Gripoix Bag
WGACA Vintage
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 34B
Easy to look pulled together
As mentioned in some of the other reviews, the lace is heavier, but I liked it because it didn't feel cheap and was good for this cooler time of year. Great fit and length (just above the knee) for an event like the rehearsal dinner I was at.

Tiebreaker Dress
kate spade new york
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"

My only caution is that the dress is very low-cut and somewhat backless so you need to figure out an undergarment situation. My suggestion is a combination of a backless bra, fashion tape and tacking the front V together. But overall a beautiful dress!
