Lovely, interesting, special earring which was perfectly sized to make a nice compliment to my dress
Fit well with no pain and not too heavy, while still making a great statement. The design ensured no accidentally drops/loss.

Needed a dress for a semi-formal event which wouldn't require floor length so this was ideal!
Will urge a convertible (not just strapless) bra, due to the low cut back and doublestick modesty tape for the neckline, which was new for me. Got loads of compliments on the dress throughout the evening and absolutely adored the pockets which, since I was also volunteering for the organizers, allowed me to forego a purse and keep lipstick and phone close. Great, comfortable garment that hit my tummy issues.

Utterly loved it and would rent again, but it can snag if not careful. Lovely and tasteful.
I don't have a tiny wrist (am a size 12) and it fit fine and could be adjusted.

Fab gala at waterside venue and I wanted a standout color. In a sea of great dresses, got 20 raves!
I'm heavier than usual right now and worried about fit. Everyone was correct in saying the under-slip fit tight. Probably would've appreciated a larger size (wasn't available). But the color (deep coral) really stood out in a tasteful way and I felt great! The fabric also moved well and felt nice. I've included a close up pic of the beadwork at the neck as I didn't see one on here and my original jewelry wasn't right for this, but it was gorgeous and different and saved me from having to find a necklace. Overall, I'd highly recommend this dress!

The bolero was a wonderful accent to my look. I loved it!
I wore the Glitz dress to a Great Gatsby-themed 50th birthday party for a friend and at the last moment, I thought this Landau bolero might be both fashionable to the look and useful, given the temperatures. I didn't realize that it would add such glamour to the entire look and I felt GREAT wearing it! I was also surprised at how warm it was. I through the gloves on (my own) at the last minute because of the shorter sleeve length, but I would recommend this piece if you want to add a great touch. It sheds a little, but not too badly.

Went to a great party to celebrate a friend's 50th. It was a Great Gatsby them and it was FABULOUS!
The Glitz dress was not my first choice, to be honest, but it turned out to be absolute perfection for the occasion. The fit and length were just right (I usually wear a 12 and the 10L was sent as well, but was tighter to close, so I went with my 12 and it was perf!) and though I was a bit surprised at the full effect of the sparkle when I opened the bag, as I am usually more low key in my selections, iI decided to 'own' the boldness of it and it could not have worked out better. I received so many compliments, and felt so pretty! The first pic was one taken on the sly by a stranger (friend of a friend) at the time (but showed off the dress best) and the second photo was with a newly made friend who looked amazing as well, wearing a similar look in a fetching emerald green and feathered bolero, like my own. When we got together for the pic, she whispered, "Rent The Runway?!" And I squealed, "Yes!", as we'd both kept each other's secret all night in silent admiration. All in all, a fantastic event and the outfit made me feel great! As usual, arrived right on time by the nicest delivery person, too!

Loved how these earrings complemented my gown and made me feel taller and added to the elegance.
They didn't pinch my ears after hours of wear and yet didn't feel loose and insecure. I usually wear studs daily or small hoops so this was a nice, special occasion look that was out of the ordinary and worked beautifully to make the look pop.

The dress was absolutely perfect for the event & I wasn't there 5 mins before getting 3 compliments!
I am a 12 with medium bust and it fit like a glove. I don't always like fully strapless gowns and had worn one shoulder dresses with these friends on our recent cruise, so I didn't want to repeat that look. Though this was a variation, the straps made it so elegant. They slipped a bit here and ther, but weren't annoying or distracting. I am a bit over 5'6" and had 4 inch heels and had the 12L and it was a little too long for me, but added to the column aspect of the look. The black and the draping was very forgiving for my 44 year old tummy. Over all, I felt confident, elegant, appropriate and stylish in this gown!
