Creative Black Tie Inspired by the Hunger Games
I absolutely loved this dress - reminded me a bit of the dresses worn by Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise! I wore it for a "creative black tie" wedding in Nashville, TN in May. It was comfortable, beautiful, elegant, and hits curves in great places. I received endless compliments and questions about where the dress came from. Be careful with the zipper - mine was a bit fragile. I wear a size 8 usually and ordered the size 8 and my backup was a size 10 - both fit very well but, I landed at the size 10 so I could dance more freely! You won't regret this choice.

Elliatt Serpentine Dress
*Did not wear - had to swap* :/ It was a bummer but I had to swap this out. It was too long for my shorter 5"1" stature! Material and dress construction was up to my RTR standards - just not a good fit for me and potentially other shorter renters!

Dress the Population Gold Sequin Mini Dress
I loved the dress, it fit me well and was very fun but *I did not wear it* since my other option was more appropriate for the event. I'll likely try to rent this again for New Years instead! It has a liner which prevents it from being itchy.

Nicole Miller Velvet Scoop Black Gown
This dress was a swap from an initial rental that was unflattering. Thank goodness it was because it was such a treat to wear this instead! The velvet is so perfectly smooth and the leg slit well placed. I paired it with a pashmina to keep me warmer for an October wedding ceremony. Straps are adjustable - another plus. I have shorter legs and may have been a bit more comfortable in a petite but the R wasn't unmanageable. Recommend.

Kasia Jumpsuit by Black Halo
Wore this for a wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. It was perfect! I paired it with a pashmina to keep me a bit warmer. Was very comfortable and exactly what I was hoping for. Zipper takes a bit of convincing to get past all the peplum bulk at the waist so be careful. I have short legs and a larger bust - hit at my ankles and wore an unpadded bra. I wore the 10 comfortably.

Trendy Rose Crop Top
Lovely lighter fabric for summer heat and appreciated the wrap design but, due to my fuller bust, I lost some of the coverage in my mid-section which made for a more dramatic crop. I did not end up wearing it for that reason.

Waterproof Dress
Wore this on an evening cruise event. Perfect for being on the water in the summer! The material is essentially waterproof/resistant - I would have been a little hot if it was warmer and there was not breeze off the water. A little long for shorter people - 5'1" and it hit my ankle. Enjoyed it for my event.

Denim Sweatpants?!
I wore these on an early-morning whale watch in Massachusetts in the summer. The denim was sturdy but not too heavy & kept me comfortable on the boat from the breeze off the ocean. COLOR: As pictured, light-acid-wash FABRIC: Denim, lighter-weight FIT: Loose with tie waist allows for a tighter tapered look up top to highlight a waist. I could have sized down but it was not available, fit is true to size. LENGTH FOR FELLOW SHORTIES: Hit about two fingers closer to my ankle than pictured
