Great addition to my outfit!
I rented these to wear to a wedding and liked them a lot. I have petite wrists, so the bangles were a little big for me, but not too bad. There are two sizes of the bangles, two are a bit skinnier than the third. I didn't end up wearing all three, but one of the skinny and the larger one. They make noise when they touch one another, so I had to be very careful to not make too much noise during the wedding ceremony. They were a pretty addition to my outfit and really liked them! Wish I had remembered to take a picture!

Gorgeous gems!
I rented these earrings to wear to a wedding with the Halston Heritage Vie en Rose dress and also paired with the Kendra Scott Crackled Gold Bangle Set. They were lightweight and very easy to wear. I loved these! The green in the gem on the bottom is darker than shown in the pictures on the site, but I was very happy that they were! Overall I loved these earrings! I added a photo of the earrings next to the purse I used (my own) to show that the green is darker.

Show stopper!
I rented this dress for a wedding and am SO happy that I did. This dress is pretty major! I got compliment after compliment. The slit in the front added a little sexiness to the dress, but it wasn't too much. I am 5'9", and the dress came to right above my knee, so it was a great length for a wedding! The fabric is heavy and luxe and looks beautiful. But, be prepared that on a hot day, you may get a little warm. It is hard to tell from photos, but the flowers on the dress are a light ivory, not white. Overall I felt AMAZING and got SO many compliments. I usually wear a 10 in dresses, but only the 12 was available, so I went ahead and rented it because I loved the dress and because of my bust, I can get away with a 12 or a 10. The dress fits true to size, and the 12 was just fine, but I do wish I was able to have the 10. Oh well, it was amazing either way! I am pretty busty (34DDD) and I had plenty of room in the chest. Some reviewers said that the corset in the dress held things in without a bra. I think if I had rented the 10, I might have not needed a bra, but I felt more comfortable with one on. The "corset" zips up the back, so you will need help getting into the dress. The top hook is a sturdy one, and I had no issues with the zipper at all. I wore this with the Alexis Bittar Chantilly Garden Earrings and Kendra Scott Crackled Gold Bangle Set. The mint in the earrings was a great contrast! You will NOT regret wearing this dress :)

AMAZING!! I love these earrings!
These are AMAZING earrings. When I joined RTR in 2010 I saw these earrings and instantly added them to my favorite list- just waiting for the right time to rent them! I ended up renting them to wear for my rehearsal dinner and they were PERFECT. I received SO many compliments on them. I adore them and would absolutely rent them again. They ARE on the heavy side, so be ready for that. Also, I can't remember if they came with the large plastic backs that help with heavy earrings, so if you have some from other earrings, and the rentals don't come with, make sure to use them. You won't be sorry renting these earrings!!

I was so excited about this dress, but the minute I tried to put it on... I knew I had a problem. The pattern is the same as shown (and SUPER cute in person) and there are actually shorts underneath, but this thing is short, like, literally the bottom of my butt cheek was showing. If you are 5'6" or above I would avoicd this dress, it is MUCH MUCH MUCH shorter than pictured!!

I rented this dress for a trip to Vegas, and it was SPOT on. The color is definately bronze, not gold, and the fit is adorable. Loose on top, cinched at the waist and flows nicely over the hips. It was a tad on the short side, but otherwise an awesome, very comfortable dress!

I felt like a movie star in this dress!
LOVE LOVE this dress. I got SO many compliments and person after person asking where I got it. Looks amazing in photos too. I am 5'9 and the long size was really long. I had on 3 inch heels and it was still too long. My only complaint was that the sequins were REALLY rough. I have pretty bad scratches on the under parts of my arms and around my sides, so if you are planning on dancing or moving around much, be prepared. Also, if you have a small bust, I would suggest a smaller size. Other than that, enjoy being a standout in the room, this dress delivers the glitter and sparkle!!!
