The sparkliest dress for a Big Vegas Night!
Rented this dress for a date night in Vegas to see Celine and it was the best decision ever!! Runs large, so I'm glad I got the smaller back-up size in a 4 (I could've even fit into a 2 if needed, but it would've been a bit snug in the torso). POCKETS!!! Even wore without a bra. ;) So comfortable and got MANY compliments throughout the night (from my husband AND strangers!). Rent this one, you'll feel wonderful and special.

Beautiful Color! Has Pockets!
I ordered the 6 and the 8, because of comments about the arms being tight. The 6 fit beautifully, I didn't even bother trying on the larger size. Loved loved the pockets and the color was great - both in person AND in pictures!

Truly gorgeous dress (in person & in pictures)! And WITH POCKETS! Rent this dress, you'll love it.
I just LOOOOOOVED this dress. Every single thing about it. The cut, the lace, the purple color (PHENOMENAL), the length (just right on this short girl!), the ease (no wrinkling to worry about), and THE POCKETS. I'm a sucker for a dress with pockets. These pockets were large too, so I could easily keep my iPhone in one, and lipgloss and liner in the other! The lace and bright color really led it to be a "stand out" at the outdoor wedding I attended. Paired with the Kate Spade Bryce Bauble necklace, I think it is my favorite Runway look to date! At 5'1" and 130, I rented the 2 and 4, and found that the extra fabric in the skirt the 4 made me look a bit too "hip-y". So I wore the 2, and it fit like a glove! It was definitely fitted, but still had just enough give to sit down, dance, and eat lots of butternut squash ravioli! Rent this dress. you'll love it.

Super FUN Statement Earrings (now just get my baby to stop tugging on them)!
LOVE these earrings. Playful, bright & not too heavy for this non-earring-wearing gal. Paired with the Nanette Lepore Girls Only dress for a complete summer look.

Fabulous Colors & Pattern, Odd Fit on My Body-Type
I wanted to love this dress. And on the hanger I DID. But unfortunately with my current 130-lb frame, size B-C boobs, it just fit...wrong. Size 4 was simply too tight in the rib cage, but fit perfect everywhere else (but I couldn't zip it up!) - so I had to wear the size 6, which then was a bit too low-cut in the front due to straps that were too long and loose for my shoulders and frame. As a result, I was more boob-y at the baby shower than I wanted to be. The hemline length was great, however! Photographs beautifully. But just not for me.

Favorite.Necklace.Ever.
What a gorgeous piece. This necklace MADE the entire look (paired with Opening Ceremony Grid Lines dress). Wow wow, I was so sad to let this go. The color is absolutely stunning, you will NOT be disappointed with this necklace.

Fun, Statement Piece.
I rented this necklace because it was the stylist recommendation with the Nanette Lepore plum dress. I was worried because I had read reviews that the chain was extremely long, but even at 5'1", the pendant hit me just below my bust line. I'm only giving it 3 stars, however, because it wasn't as "gold" looking as I expected (particularly because I was pairing it with the House of Harlow gold cuff), it was a lighter, duller color.

Photographs Beautifully, Wears Easily.
I *loved* this dress - the color, the lace, the cap sleeves, everything about it is fabulous! A few caveats, it is SHORT. I am 5'1", and when I was sitting, it was very high up on my thighs. If you're taller, it might get to be excessively short. Only the 4 was available for the event date I needed, so I made do with it, but it was a bit snug in my hips, thighs & stomach - a size 6 for me right now (at 130lbs) would probably have been a bit more forgiving. I took the stylist's suggestions and paired it with the House of Harlow pendant & cuff bracelet, and the overall look was (once again) effortlessly pulled together and chic.

A Gorgeous, Complete Look.
Loved this dress paired with the Gerard Yosca emerald necklace! Stretchy, lined material along with the flouncy skirt makes the fit both flattering AND comfortable, as well as super fun to dance in. Ordered the 4 and 6, and the 4 fit perfectly. Photographs wonderfully - from far away it looks solid green, up close you notice the navy stripes. I felt so beautiful in this dress, would wear again in a heartbeat. Definitely recommend!

Didn't wear it.
Wanted to love it. Ended up wearing my back-up dress instead. It was somehow...too sparkly (I know, I know, it's covered in sequins). But I felt like an ice skater. And the arms were uncomfortably tight on me.

An Excellent First RTR Experience.
At the time of this wedding, I was heavier (probably...140?), but I found the dress fit to be very flattering to my post-baby belly. I'm 5'1" and loved the length on me, short but not too short - a nice juxtaposition to having your arms and chest all covered up. Got SO many compliments, from strangers even!
