Modern, luxurious, elegant, sexy, casual and fancy all at once!
We rented this for a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery and it was, hands down, the best option! We were hesitant at first that the satin would not look as high end as we needed but the dress did not disappoint. The layers are alternating satin and tulle which gives it a very modern but soft feel. The neckline is STUNNING but is a bit tricky because of the folded layer--definitely use fashion tape to keep it flush against your chest. Our model is 5'10" and wore the 8R only because there wasn't an 8L. Like RTR suggests, definitely order L if you're over 5'7". Our model wore sandals, though, so it worked just fine. My favorite part of this dress was the peplum. It was on the sides and came around the back and front just a bit so that there is still a break in the back and front. It adds a feminine touch and was perfect for the modern look we envisioned. Our model was so comfortable in this dress all day (Northern California in late July, in the high 90s!) and felt beautiful. HIGHLY recommend this stunner!

Antique beauties!
We rented these for a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery. They were perfect for our modern look! We paired them with the Cara Accessories "Dress Me Up Bracelet" and the BCBGMAXAZRIA "Catch Your Breath Gown". The earrings and the bracelet were perfect together; both antique looking while still looking elegant and high end. They were lightweight and not too long. Highly recommend for a wedding or any other occasion!

Beautiful!!!
We rented this to try at a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery. It is the right amount of "bridal" and fun. We ended up not using it because we opted for earrings and a bracelet--no complaints about the necklace! It's just as bright as the picture shows so not a good option if you want more of an antique look. But, if not, it's perfect!

Graduated Crystal Necklace
Crislu
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 10"
Perfect accessory for an art deco/Gatsby feel!
We rented this for a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery and it was perfect! We paired it with the Ben-Amun "Something Borrowed Earrings" and BCBGMAXAZRIA "Catch Your Breath Gown" and they all worked so well together. The bracelet adds the right touch of antique and art deco without looking costumey or trendy. It has a nice weight to it and stays on securely. The only minor issue--which isn't even an issue--is the small round metal medallion that has the designer's name on it; just something to be aware of for pictures.

Gorgeous!
We rented this for a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery. It was a nice size--pretty large--and looked beautiful in the bride's hair. The only reason we didn't use it was because of the jewelry we chose--it didn't work together. Stunning headband--you will not be sorry! Just be careful because the little pieces can pull out strands of hair when putting it on or taking it off.

Stunning!
We rented this for a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery and it was just stunning. It had a nice weight and was beautiful on the grosgrain ribbon. We paired it with the Theia "Say I Do Tulle Gown" and it was just what the dress needed. The only reason we didn't end up using it was because we wanted a more modern look.

Beautiful & ethereal
We rented this for a wedding photo shoot at our Napa Valley winery and it was perfect. It hit around the back of the model's knees. It had a few layers but still looked modern and light. It fit in her hair very easily and securely with a comb. Highly recommend.

Beautiful dress!
Rented this for a wedding photo shoot and it was gorgeous. Fit our model like a glove but definitely needed a fabulous belt to finish it off. We didn't select it only because we needed something a bit more modern. No complaints.

Pretty dress but the quality wasn't what we expected
I rented this for a wedding photo shoot. It was a beautiful dress but, once on, didn't look as high quality as in the photo. Most likely because the lace is difficult to keep up after so many uses. Definitely won't deter from future renting!
