Such a beautiful dress, so many compliments. It definitely does run small (thank you to all the other reviewers who mentioned this!) Thought I might not even be able to wear the 6--both zipped, both tight (4 was sausage casing snug) But when I wore it a little while, it actually seemed to loosen up a bit, if that makes sense. It didn't lose its shape, just seemed to 'warm up' and 'breathe' and feel like a decent fit. Size 6, I mean (didn't even try it with the extra-squeezy 4) Stayed comfortable all day and seriously, compliments galore.

Such a good spring/summer dress for a daytime work event. Rented sizes 4 and 6, both fit but went with the slightly looser 6 mainly because it was just a little bit longer (I work with a pretty conservative group) Veerrry comfortable, fabric breathes so it was great on a hot day. Lots of compliments from men and women.

Full disclosure, I did not actually wear this skirt at the event for which I rented it. It was just a bit impractical for what I needed: A little heavy, a little long for my 5'3" frame--I needed something I could run around in so I went with my backup rental (Opening Ceremony's Capri Dress, if you want to know). But this skirt is so pretty and comfortable and FUN that I am keeping it in my 'hearts' list and I will rent it again for a day I can wear it out in public. Oh yes, I did wear this skirt all around the house the night it arrived...

As an event planner, at a formal occasion at which I pretty much never stop moving, a dress that is short(er) but still elegant--and with POCKETS!--is the ultimate. The bright, cheerful orange made me easy to spot in a sea of black. The fit was very comfortable, body-skimming but not clinging, and the fabric was substantial (but not heavy or stretchy). The cape-like sleeves lend a little extra drama without being fussy or impractical.

I did not wear these (rented several options) but that is no comment on how beautiful they are! These would be perfect for a bride.

These earrings are definitely heavy--but not in a painful, yank out your lobes way; more like one is continually aware that they are there. I rented several choices to wear in my friend's wedding and these were the winner. Just so pretty. The translucent, pink-tinted jewels went beautifully with the simple, pink dress. (Forgive the photo, you can barely see one of them, but it's the best view I have!)

Carried this as maid-of-honor for dear friend's wedding. The bride loved it so much she had her photographer use it in some of the pre-wedding vignettes. Pictures haven't come in yet or I'd share one!

Wish I had a picture to show you how we used these lovely earrings! Let me try to describe: Bridesmaid dresses featured a rather plain self-belt; these weren't the right earrings for my ears but another 'Maid and I had a lightbulb moment and each attached one of these to the back of the belt as a faux button. Such a tiny detail but we both got many compliments (and other 'Maids said they wished they'd thought of it first...)

When the Bride said she'd bought a rose gold necklace for her 'Maids to wear, I knew this piece would be the perfect complement. Delicate, feminine, yet substantial, it is a lovely bracelet. Worked beautifully with a formal look but could easily be deployed in a more casual setting.

These came as my Mystery Bling surprise and I gladly went a night without my trusty diamond studs to wear these pretty little stars.

This dress was so unusual and beautiful, I instantly fell in love with it. The color is indescribable: somewhere between a nude-pink with a hint of dusty-apricot mixed in--it looked perfect paired with red stiletto sandals (such a simple dress really does call for a pair of conversation-piece shoes.) The fit is impeccable, quite conservative in the front with a simple, pretty detail in the back--oh and speaking of the back, this dress does wonders for the rear-end! Full disclosure: I did not end up wearing this dress (I wore instead my backup rental which was the Trina Turk St. John--more appropriate for a night of running around at top speed.)

Easily one of the most comfortable dresses I've ever worn. So many compliments and comments throughout the night from both men and women. The color was even brighter and more beautiful in person and the fabric was so graceful and and lightweight--I even got caught in a little gust of wind and felt like I was in a movie or a fragrance commercial or something equally elegantly dramatic! I'm sure I'm not the first to wish I could actually buy this dress to wear as many times as I want. Perhaps I'll rent it again someday!

Am an event planner so needed something that was dressy but easy to run around in and helps me to stand out so I can be found in a crowd--this is that dress! Not only that but it seemed like every time I turned around someone was admiring my dress--men and women alike. I let a few, select women in on the Rent the Runway secret...
