The perfect wintery statement piece!
I absolutely loved this cape! I loved the oversized look of it! Having shorter legs it definitely looked best styled with some sort of heels. I had so many compliments on it wearing it out and about. The fabric is thick and weighty but it wasn't scratchy or itchy at all. Really comfortable! I'm usually a 2/4 in size when ordering from Rent the Runway, but with this being an oversized cape, I sized down to the extra small. You are basically swimming in fabric so sizing down made it not look too much like I was wearing a blanket. Such a neat piece! I wore it with leggings but I also wore it with jeans, booties and my hair up for a super casual feel. This cape made my casual look pretty spectacular! Definitely recommend this cape!

Glittering Fantasy!
Talk about swinging from the chandeliers! I rented these for a formal date night with my hubs, but the picture shows me wearing them more casually the next day. These earring are a dream! If you're looking for something that will make a statement, these are the way to go! These will be a go-to in my rent the runway future!

Glittering!
This dress is the perfect amount of fancy! It's not too in your face with all the sequins, just the right amount of shimmer to catch people's eye. I'm 5' 4"/130lbs and I'm usually a RTR 4/4L but I'm glad I went with the 4P on this dress. When wearing strapless, I always feel more comfortable with a tighter fit up top so I know it's not going to slip down as the night wears on. It has a built-in corset/bra so no need to worry there. My date was not very tall, so I wore flats. If you're looking to wear heels I suggest going for the long. This dress made me fell fun and elegant all at the same time! Perfect party dress!

Romantic
This dress was so dreamy! I wore it to sing in a wedding and it was perfect! It was blush/pink enough not to compete with the bride. I'm 5' 4"/130lbs and I usually wear a 4 in RTR but only the 4P was available. It fit just a little snug in the chest area, but it just made me look more endowed than I am ;). It has a built in bra-like corset, so I didn't have to wear a bra. The length was fine because I wore cowboy boots for this outdoor wedding, but would have been too short if I wanted to wear heels so be sure to go for the long if you're looking to wear heels. This fairy tale dress sure is fun to wear, dance in and makes you feel like a princess!

Stunning!
Are you ready to feel like a million bucks?! This dress had compliments coming all night long! The fit was perfect and true to size. I am 5' 4"/130lbs and I wore the 4R. Normally I would have preferred the 4L to accommodate for higher heels, but it was winter and I just wore some shorter booties that didn't show. This dress made me feel slim and sexy. I loved the mesh around the arms and around the top of the dress. The dress kept me warm but the mesh in the sleeves made for a nice breather in the ballroom! It hugged in all the right places and held in all the places that need holding in. All in all I would definitely recommend this dress!
