Didn't want to wear spanks.... really pretty color though!
A few things I didn't like about this dress... the fabric seems like it would show any and all moisture; the top hung down way too low but would have helped had the straps been adjustable; the fabric was also super clingy and showed lines and I wasn't wanting to wear spanks, which may/may not have even fixed that. It was a gorgeous color though and I did love the bottom and how it flowed, like the perfect hip-showing dancing dress. I'm glad my backup style worked out though as I didn't end up wearing this one.

Very classy dress, gorgeous color! Got lots of compliments.
Loved this dress! The color was amazing and I loved the way it fit, except that I'm not used to wearing something as low cut so I was pulling it up to make sure my bra didn't show... wish I had time to get tape and I think it would have been even more perfect. It's nice that you can adjust the straps, and it was great to be able to move around / dance in. Perfect for my sister-in-laws outdoor/indoor #wedding.

Beautiful color and detail, did run large!
I wore this for a vintage party, but would also be perfect for any formal event. I would prefer to wear with nude shoes, but didn't have any closed toe shoes besides black. The weight of the dress was awesome and is very flattering, but I was disappointed a bit as it was baggy in the waist, the arm holes cut too low to be able to wear a strapless bra invisibly ( I had to wear a bralette, which actually look really cute), and it was a bit longer than I was expecting, so I'd definitely recommend sizing down as I believe all of these issues I had would have been resolved with a smaller size. I highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful color and flattering fit!
Love how it fit and that it was long enough to wear with heels or flats. The chest was actually too big (which is NEVER the case for me), but it worked great to put a little cami underneath as shown. Beautiful color and can dress up or down and even wear with boots! Highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful color, great for a friends baby shower
They didn't have my backup size in stock, so I'm so glad I could make the one size work.. however, I think I would have felt a little more comfortable in a size 10 instead with the extra length. Definitely had to be careful when sitting or leaning over, so is a better fit for gals who don't have a lot of junk in the trunk! Great fabric though, perfect for spring and can wear leggings and boots if preferred or go with bare legs and heels for some added flare. Highly recommend!

Amazing dress for a winter formal event!
Perfect length (Wore the long with about 2-3 inch heels). High-quality. Kind of heavy material, but was great for my husbands Marine Corps Ball in November. Can wear with a regular bar, and fabric is very forgiving so spanks really are not needed. Highly recommend this dress if you want a classy show-stopper that is so easy to wear!!

Not your typical holiday dress -- fun and unique!
The fit was AWESOME -- super comfy, perfect length, gives you a great shape, and thick material so good at smoothing your lines out and also just a good dress for winter parties in general. I really loved this dress and honestly would have bought it if I could have! Highly recommend this dress!

It came with a few of the strings "broken", but a very pretty set of fakes!
I really loved these pearls -- they do have a bit more of the fake looking color to them, but they were very pretty for an old hollywood cocktail/bday party I wore them for. They did arrive with a few of the bead strings off of the fastener (hard to explain!), but I took a few minutes to fasten them back on and it worked out great until the end of the night when they came off again... the circle pieces just need to be squished together so the strings don't fall out! I loved the fullness of these babies and it really added a fun element to my RTR dress I wore with them. I'd for sure rent these again for another event!

Everyone loved this dress! The sparkles up top and skirt below were a perfect match. Lace = awesome!
Don't mind the silly photo.. sadly, I only have photos from the photobooth at the party, but hopefully it shows off the sparkle at least. I wasn't super sure when I first tried it on as it has kind of a drop waist and I wasn't feeling too much with it form fitted around my stomach. It turned out great though and I got tons of compliments! The colors and sparkles were so pretty! It mostly has silver and gold color shimmer. It was a great amount of "bling". The length was perfect - I didn't wear tights, but you could easily do so. I loved the back of the dress with the lace cutout! I wore a strapless bra and did have to keep pulling it up all night... but that's just my problem! The fabric was perfect: breathable in the hot room we were dancing in but also a more fall/wintery fabric. All in all, I'd highly recommend this dress!!!

It was just MEH for me.. very heavy and didn't like the clasp
Not what I was looking for.. heavier than I wanted, weird s-hook type clasp, and shorter chain than I was expecting. It also was kind of dull to me. It stayed in the box...

A great statement piece for my bridal luncheon. Heavier than anticipated and had a weird clasp.
LOVED the color of this necklace and I do like how chunky it is. Because it's so big, I shouldn't have been surprised by the weight of it.. but that really wasn't a problem for me. The only other "complaint" I have with it is that the clasp is not really a clasp and the necklace could very easily fall off if you were to wear out or do anything besides eat, sit, and visit like I did. ha! So I wish that it had an actual clasp instead of an open s-hook kind of deal. Other than that, it was a great necklace.

Wish it had more substance when spread out, but a gorgeous hair accessory!!
I was really wanting some bling for my hair as I didn't want to wear a veil, and this did the trick. It is flexible in that you can expand the ends or curl them in towards the middle, but I wish it was thicker throughout to fill it all out. All in all though, I really loved it. It has some blush tones, so it was great for me as that was one of my wedding colors. I LOVED being able to wear something like this rented for a reasonable price and then send it back! :)

Perfect rehearsal supper earrings in my blush wedding color.
These were awesome for my wedding rehearsal supper as they were a gorgeous blush color with a little big of sparkle. It'd be easy to dress these up or down. They weren't heavy at all and were super easy to wear.

I didn't end up wearing, but it was stunning!
I initially wanted to wear this with some dangly earrings for my wedding, but it was too much together so I opted for the earrings. This necklace was GORGEOUS! It was heavier than I was expecting, but it certainly felt high-quality! I'd rent again for another formal occasion!

Gave me the pop of blush I needed for my wedding
It probably was too casual, but we had a day-time wedding and the color was perfect with my bridesmaids' blush dresses. It was comfortable and not too heavy. I'd definitely rent again for another occasion!

Perfect bling for my wedding!
I loved being able to rent such GORGEOUS accessories and it look like I spent a bunch of money when I really didn't! The earrings were a little bigger than I thought they were going to be, as I had planned to wear a different necklace for the big day, but couldn't because it was too much with the earrings. It worked out perfectly though as my husband ended up gifting me a perfect necklace that balanced the bling of the earrings. They really were everything else as pictured though. I would definitely rent these again for a formal occasion!

Flowy and perfect for a semi-cold day for our couples shower.
It was a great dress for my (now) husband and my couples' shower as it was flowy and a great length with jean leggings. I wore tan boots that matched the belt that comes on the dress. I paired it with my own navy and cream necklace and some gold/sparkly bracelets. Everyone kept telling me how much they loved the dress and how it fit like a glove. I loved the button detail in the back. The only complaint is that I wish the belt had been adjustable as I have a long torso, so it kind of hit me a little weird. But it was very flattering and I loved the flutter sleeves! I would purchase this dress if I could!

Too much cleavage and SHORT
GORGEOUS sparkle and color, but SHORT as all get out - the 10 was a little tight so I went up to the 12L and it was even way short.. I couldn't wear flats with it even. So glad I rented another dress as a backup as that one ended up fitting like a glove. I would only recommend this dress to straight figures or shorter gals. . the girls were also on display, so if you're looking for cleavage, this dress would probably be great for you.

LOVED the one-shoulder aspect of this dress and PERFECT for a Marine Corps Ball! So elegant!
This was my first RTR experience and I was very pleased! This dress was my backup as I rented a sequined dress as well with all intentions of wearing it, but it was extremely short.. without heels. That was a bummer as I REALLY was digging that dress. So even though this red beauty was not my first choice, I was basically forced into keeping this dress as my girl friends were ecstatic over it and said it was a keeper. Always good to have girl friends talk you into a GOOD decision :) I was so pleased with the fit and length.. which is always a factor for concern. My heels (about 2-3ish inches tall) worked so well and the bodice was a great cut and fit, definitely works best with a longer torso. I wore a strapless bra and will say I think it could run big in the top if you don't have any girls to fill it out, but it was so nice to not have to adjust all night due to any potential peek-a-boos and being able to wear a bra was great I will say I was hesitant when I first tried it on because it felt like there was a lot more fabric than I wanted as it didn't really allow for the slit to be seen.. that's really the only "complaint" I have with this dress. It was classy and elegant and I felt like cinderella twirling and dancing all night! I received a ton of compliments of the dress fitting like a glove and how classy I looked. I paired it with tear-drop earings, gold bangles and red/white stretch bracelet, black velvet heels, and a gold clutch. I highly recommend this dress!
