Cute, but shorter than the model picture would suggest.
Cute, on-trend peasant top. Fabric is light, flowy, but not transparent, and I really liked the print. Didn't end up wearing it because the shape just didn't work for me; I'm the type of lady that can't get away with wearing a polo shirt without somehow also looking like I'm the camp counselor you were looking for.

Umm... don't think, just rent it.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. My only critique is that it has a "lining" that will expand with handles to allow you to really pack this baby to the gills if you need to; turning it into a mini tote of sorts. The only problem with these expandable handles is that they take away from how utterly chic this bag's silloutte is.

Great, comfortable, potentially body-con dress
Great dress; the model picture does not do the colors justice. The "weaving" is on the front and back of the dress. This is a superb dress for ladies who are expecting; not so great if you're still working off those postpartum pounds and aren't looking for the reminder.

Super cute pair of classic jeans
Classic, non-stretch pair of jeans. This particular pair is great for us short ladies. Would suggest sizing up if you have a bit of a belly.

Noticeable neon in a classic silhouette
Wore this to a friends' wedding and got tons of compliments, even from the bride and groom. Didn't help that I was the only bright color in a sea of women who had already transitioned to fall colors. Fun dress and the pockets were very useful. Would own this dress if I could!

The picture doesn't do this bracelet justice!
I got this bracelet through "mystery bling" and I was stunned when it arrived at just how beautiful it was. When I got the email showing that this was the bracelet that was coming, I was a little nervous because I don't like fake pearls, usually they look just as fake as they are. Amazingly, that was far from the case with this bracelet. It was gorgeous, sparkled just the right amount and gave that extra oomph that my mom was looking for.

Absolutely stunning, easy going dress
Not only did I love this dress, but people could not stop complimenting me for it. I definitely suggest wearing some Spanx with this dress, but it was perfect for my rehearsal dinner barbecue. It was hot out and this dress felt lighter than air. A word of caution to my fellow ladies with wider hips, the fabric has no stretch at all, so go a size up if you can.

Teal color a little too green
As much as I thought this was going to be "the" dress among the ones I'd rented, I was sadly disappointed by just how green this dress actually turned out to be. I was thinking it would be more of a Tiffany blue teal than just a green with a tinge of blue.

My bridesmaids couldn't stop talking about my dress!
I wore this for my bachelorette party and it was the perfect choice. The red isn't blaring and loud, but goes perfectly with the just hint-of-tan that I had going on. The fabric is lightweight and the dress features a built in strap so that you don't have to worry about keeping the dress up. Would totally buy this dress!

Understated va va voom!
Loved this dress, and I would have worn it to the holiday party I was going to, but the way the the skirt of the dress falls, it didn't hide the bit of tummy that I've been working to get rid of. But, I have thicker legs than most so the skirt was a bit tighter for me through the hips than it might otherwise be for someone with a tummy who has thinner legs. With my bust size, this dress definitely didn't feel too tight, so there's room if you've got a bigger bust.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I loved this dress, so much, that I'm thinking about going out and buying it. Super flattering, even if you have a tummy. The length was perfect. I'm 5'3" and have larger hips than the average girl, so I worry about hemlines. The skirt of this dress was so forgiving and never felt tight. The colors on this dress are also a lot brighter than shown in the site's picture, but that made it even better than I was anticipating. Though I also used double-sided tape as a precaution and to make sure the back of my strapless bra would be seen, this dress features a bra-like clasp in the back to help hold you in and the dress up.

Beautiful dress. The color is a bit more burnt orange than bright coral. If you feel like you're between a 10 and a 12, skip this dress because you really need to be a 10 to fit it well. I'm in the middle, so instead of looking flowly and etheral, it kind of looked like I was wearing a sheet to go to a toga party.

Loved this dress! The color is pretty true to the website and looked great with my skin. I don't think it was the best choice for a fall wedding, but I still got tons of compliments (even from the bride!). My only complaint is that there's some kind of almost underwire-like boning material in the bust that would stick through the material and make contact with my skin. A definite ouch at times but this dress is so worth it.

These were a great accessory that I got lots of compliments on, but be careful. My scarf kept getting caught on these bracelets and would pull some of the threads.
