This is a unique hair pin, that adds just a little sparkle!

I'm not a fan of big accessories, and thought this was perfect to add some sparkle, but not too much bling to my hair.

The color popped, easy to move in, great length!

I rented a size 6 & 8, but found the 6 to be roomy, which was great for the event I was going to filled with good wine & food. The color stood out from the crowd, it was a classy dress, fit my tall, athletic body well!

If you're 5'10" + this isn't the dress for you

Besides being too short and looking very awkward in the sleeves because I have more of an athletic build, I was charged for this dress without being able to wear it. I went out of town for my birthday, & couldn't return it to exchange in time. I think if your tall, trying on dresses or getting a second style is a must-this is a frustrating experience if not.

Cool design, slight religious combined with graffiti look that was unique!

Loved the fit of this dress, I fall between a 6 and an 8 and the M was perfect. For my height I also liked the length, which wasn't too short. And like all of the Leger dresses, the fit was snug, but because of how hot it's been in NYC lately, I was just way too warm in the dress. The material is very thick. I also noticed that when I walked for a while, the dress did ride up slightly, but not too big of a deal. The style of the dress is great though, very cool and unique, both the pattern and cut. I'd rent it again when it's cooler out!

Gold, asymmetrical bracelet.

This was a mystery bling accessory, that I did not choose. It went ok with my Leger dress, I probably wouldn't have chosen it myself. It felt a little cheap to me, and didn't like the gold color. Felt a little too much like costume jewelry.

I absolutely loved the sequin pattern and detail of this dress. The colors are great too!

Way, way too short for my long legs. The slip just covered my butt, so I wouldn't be able to sit down without a scene, so I had to return the dress.

Sparkle bangle bracelets

This was a mystery accessory that was chosen for my dress. They're chunky, big sparkle bangle bracelets that match well with the Nicole Miller dress I wore. I'm tall with long limbs, so I thought the bracelets worked for me. I think if you're petite, they may be too much. I loved them with the dress for my bridal shower party, but when I wore the dress for a more formal dinner the next night, I didn't think the bracelets gave me the more sophisticated look I was going for.

Eyecatching

This necklace was perfect with the Leger dress I rented, because the dress was plain & low cut. I think this necklace may be too much bling if your wearing a colorful outfit, & if you're petite. I'm tall, so I felt like I carried it well. I ended up wearing only diamond studs so it wouldn't look like I was too decked out. I loved the funky style of this necklace, not at all boring or plain!

The comments I received from every woman I encountered telling me they loved my dress...

I loved the snug fit, the length is great to look mildly conservative, but still sexy. It's also thick fabric, which was nice to wear in February! I think this would be a tough dress to wear in the heat of the summer.

One time rental

I'm a tall woman-5'11", & I was happy the dress went to mid thigh, since most dresses are mini's on me. I ordered both a 6 & 8, but felt the 6 was even too roomy. I'm not sure if it's the cut, or that Micole Miller dresses run bigger. A 4 would've been ideal for me. I didn't like how the back bunched up, I prefer it more fitted. It was a sexy dress, but I don't think I'd rent it again.
