Dramatic, Elegant, Hollywood Glam
I received compliments on these earrings all night long. They are beautiful and perfect for a black tie event. I wore my hair down with the earrings as they looked a bit cartoonish and intense with my hair up. They also look great paired them a smoky eye and red lips for extra drama.

Great For Upgrading Casual Outfits
Loved this necklace. I used it to make an outfit what I call "casual plus" -- just a step above your everyday and not trying too hard. I wore it to a party paired with a white crew neck tee, high waisted dark skinny jeans, ankle boots, and rose hued lipstick.

Not For Me
I rented this for a nice, but not formal, outdoor wedding in May in the South. When I put it on I felt like I should be headed to the tennis courts rather than a wedding. As for fit, the dress runs large and for those of us without a chest it's not the most flattering. The material is heavy so it pulls downward quite a bit resulting some additional fit weirdness. I ended up wearing the Tibi Work It Girl dress which is in a similar vein but much better for us straight and narrow body types.

Chic And Comfortable
I wore this to a nice, but not formal, outdoor wedding in the South in May. Yes, it looked great and the back is amazing but the best part of this dress was how comfortable I was. The jersey is soft and breathable and with its high neck and just below the knee length, I could easily get down on the dance floor without worrying about flashing anyone, pulling up straps, etc. As for styling, from the front it's fairly simple looking so I paired it with a chunky necklace and a pair of Rachel Comey shoes to spice it up.

Elevates Something Simple
For my recent wedding I outfitted all the bridesmaids in jewelry from RTR. I ordered a bunch of stuff and it was a great way to let everyone express their personal style while still maintaining some consistency. Despite their different styles, this necklace was hands down the one all of the ladies wanted. The necklace is edgy and chunky, but the pearls keep it feeling somewhat classic. In the end only one could wear it, the sister of the groom, and she didn't want to take it off at the end of the night. I will note that the they wore very simple, blush, strapless, floor length outfits and we paired this piece with just a pair of small gold studs, nothing more. I'd recommend it for outfits that are simple and solid in color.

One Of My RTR Favorites
I wore this to a Fall wedding in Vermont and received non-stop compliments all night. It's definitely a statement piece but unlike other necklaces of the same variety it sits flat against the chest making it feel slightly more restrained and elegant. The jewel tones of the necklace paired perfectly with my navy blue cashmere turtleneck, long Tibi dress, and the RTR available Forest Tonda Pony Clutch. Totally agree with other reviewers that when my rental was over it was hard to send this one back.

Old School Glamour Perfect For Fall
I took this to a Fall wedding in Vermont and it was perfect. It easily fit my phone, lipstick, and wallet with room to spare. The pony hair and gold hardware give it a glamorous, vintage feel. As other reviewers mentioned, it does look black in some lights but it's actually a deep, rich green in color. I paired it with a navy cashmere sweater, long Tibi dress, and the Dannijo Omala Necklace.

Chic, Simple, Effortless Style
Chic, simple, and effortlessly sexy, this dress is a perfect alternative to run of the mill black tie. I agree with other reviewers that it's form fitting and doesn't allow for much in the way of undergarments (I went with a seamless thong on the bottom and nothing on top) so I paired it with a big chunky necklace to break up the lines and take focus off my chest. Oh, also the color is definitely more orange than coral but try it on before you get scared off by the brightness.

Okay, Not Great
Love the color but overall this clutch looked a bit cheap in person. I think it'd be fine paired with jeans or something casual but it looked awkward paired with a more formal dress.

Wore this dress to an outdoor summer wedding and received lots of compliments. Best if you want to stand out a little as it's definitely unique. Runs almost true to size but the back was a little baggy on my frame so I used double sided tape to keep it in place.

I disagree that you can't wear this as a slender woman. In fact, this was one of my best RTR rentals. It is a more blousey style but if you tie the belt tightly at your true waist it looks great. My only word of caution is that the fabric is so light that it has a tendency to blow around. I'd recommend wearing a slip or something you don't mind showing underneath.

Great Detailing, Awkward Fit
The detailing on this dress is amazing but even in the smallest size it looked rather shapeless on. Like previous reviewers, I also found the length more conservative than expected.

As someone with a small bust this dress just didn't work. The top wouldn't stay up and it was a bit too shapeless overall. Per an earlier reviewer, the extra fabric and give could make this a great maternity dress.

Color of this dress would make it perfect for a spring or summer wedding. That said, it was totally shapeless and ran extremely large.

Agree with the other renters that the dress looks beautiful on the hanger but not so much on. It is very strangely proportioned with the top almost fitting and the bottom hanging like a sack.

Definitely a classy dress but it ran large in the bust and shoulders. Also, the length and cut makes it more fitting for the office or an occasion where one might want to be more conservative.

While the dress looks wonderful on the model and the fabric was great, I wouldn't recommend it for small busted women -- even in the smallest size it awkwardly hung off my body.
