Really Wanted to Wear this dress!!
I really wanted to wear this dress, but I could not get it on. Even with the XL, this dress did not fit. I am typically a 12.

HUGE earrings
This earrings were much bigger than I expected, and shinier. In the stock photo the bottom looks like brushed metal, but it isn't. These were good earrings, but I wouldn't wear them with a necklace, like I did. I would wear them as a statement piece on their own.

Pretty!
I thought this was going to be a bit bigger, but I really liked it. The curve of each piece really adds some interest.

Such a Beautiful Spring Dress
This dress was perfect for Easter. It felt like spring and I got lots of compliments. The bust fit was super tight, but I have a large bust, and the zipper on the side stuck several times, making it hard to pull up. Good thing I had an extra set of hands to help, otherwise, that zipper would not have gone up all the way. Other than that, I loved this dress.

Love the Fabric
This dress made me feel beautiful! It hugged all the right curves and I got lots of compliments. It was a backup dress that I wore to work, and it was comfortable and fun. I loved the high low aspect of the dress, but the sleeves were just a little long on me.

Malleable bracelet
Thank goodness this bracelet has some give and you can bend it to fit the way you want it to. When I originally put it on, it was way too tight and I couldn't get it off. Once my husband helped me, I was able to reshape it so it would fit the way I wanted. I do not have huge wrists and had read other reviews saying it was a bit tight. The person before me must have had tiny wrists!! It was hard to get a good pic, but I really loved the look of this bracelet. It was a bit rustic paired with my cowboy hat and boots. Would def rent again!!

Heavy Earrings
These earrings were so great and looked amazing on. But one was slightly heavier than the other, so one ear started to hurt halfway through the night. At that point I figured out the weight issue and switched ears. That took care of it. But the earrings are a nice piece to pair with any fun outfit!

Birthday Dress
This was such a fun dress!! These were my trying on pics, so not fancy, but you get the idea. It was a little short in the back, but with tall boots, I wasn't too stressed about it, though I did make sure to be aware of it all night. I loved the country feel of it, since we went to a rodeo, but it didn't look cheap. I got lots of compliments on this dress all night. Super fun and it went nicely with my red hair. You can tie the neck, as on the model, or leave it open to create a V. Would def rent again.

Pretty Gold Dress
This dress fit okay and was originally my first choice; however, my backup was so stunning that I went with it instead. There was nothing about this dress that was bad, it just wasn't for me. I found that the gold washed out my pale skin, which made me not as happy with it. It does run a bit short, so if you want it to hit the floor, rent the long. I am only 5'3" and it was still a bit short on me.

Stunning color
This dress hugged me in all of the right places. After reading several reviews, I went with the long, even though I am only 5' 4" and it was a good thing I did. This dress is meant to show off your shoes, so if you want it to hit the floor, order the long. If you are tall and want it to hit the floor, this may not be the dress for you. I got compliments all night on he color, especially with my red hair. This was truly the PERFECT dress!!

This was a great add on bracelet. It felt a bit tight on my wrist, but then, I like loose fitting jewelry! It added a nice sparkle to the formal outfit.

These were pretty inexpensive, and up close I was a bit disappointed. But they looked amazing in pics and were great for the price. If you are looking for an inexpensive piece of sparkle, this is it!

Statement Earrings
These earrings were a great value and looked stunning. They were heavy, but looked fantastic. My only concern was that the sharp edges kept getting caught in my hair. Once, when I was attempting to untangle, the bottom part of the earring detached (in the middle of my event). Luckily, I was able to reattach and didn't have another issue, but I was super careful for the rest of the night.

Stunning lace dress!!
This dress felt fantastic and I received compliments ALL night. Even walking to the rest room a random woman stopped me to compliment me on my dress, aMD a guy I don't know hit on me... lol! The lace is beautiful and the nude lining makes this dress very sexy. I wore it to a formal gala for high dollar donors to a charity and women with fancier dresses than mine made sure to tell me how great I looked. I am of average/ short height (5'3") and with 4 inch heels the dress hit the floor perfectly. If you are taller and want to wear tall heels, get the long! Also be prepared for the girls to be a focal point for the night. I wore a strapless bra because of how open the neck line is. You will not regret this dress!!

Lots of Compliments!
I wore this dress twice and got lots of compliments both times. The fabric is easily snagged, as a topaz bracelet I was wearing snagged it right after getting it on. There was plenty of room in the bust (nursing mom's chest). The detailing on the skirt and neck is very flattering, and means you don't need a necklace. I wore it with blue open toed heels. Forgot to get a picture good picture.

Fun skirt!!
I absolutly LOVED this dress. The skirt is super flirty, and can be a bit short for taller girls, but I thought it was perfect for a date night. I can see where another reviewer suggested flat tummies would work better in this, but it didn't bother me. I am going to rent it again soon!

Beautiful Lace Dress
I wore this dress for our family pictures. My backup was a 10, and would have fit, but that dress was damaged. The chest area would probably be big for most, but for my DDD chest nicely (The 10 fit everywhere except the chest). It covers any lumps bumps you may want to hide, but isn't meant to show off your figure. I really loved how comfortable the dress was. Dress it up with fun colorful accessories!!

Cute, but short!
I absolutely loved this dress on, but it was way shorter than I thought it was going to be. Since I was siting in the font row of my best friend's wedding, I decided it was not a good option. Girls with a BIG bust, beware! Other reviews said the bust was roomy, but not it you are sporting a nursing mom's chest (38F). My husband said that if it were just us going out, he loved it, but not for the occasion.

A Very pretty LBD
Sorry for the 1 leg pic. I was trying to pick which boots to wear. I thought this dress was a good dress to accessorize (a blank canvas). It was longer than I expected (came to my knees), but it looked great and I got lots of compliments. The lace detail was fun and made me feel like Audrey Hepburn. The bust area was pretty tight, but I have a DDD nursing mom's chest, so anyone else will probably do great. I was able to wear a regular bra, so that was a plus. Overall, I enjoyed this dress, but it definitely wasn't the best dress ever.

The necklace was a little shorter than I expected, and if I had the opportunity to exchange it, I would have. Others loved it, even though I felt like it wasn't the greatest choice. The necklace itself is beautiful and makes for a fun statement necklace. I just didn't feel like it fit the occasion.

This was my original dress, but I ended up not wearing it.
As others said, this dress runs small. I usually wear a 14, but ordered the 12 as my backup because of the other reviews. While the 12 would have fit, the bust was not big enough to fit my nursing mother's chest (38F), and the 14 was FAR to big on me. My other issue was the zipper. As other reviews suggested, the zipper created a weird ripple effect when zipped (on BOTH sizes!). This dress was beautiful, it just didn't work for me.

Lots of compliments on this dress!!
This was actually my backup, but I loved it so much that I wore it instead! (glad the one size I had it in fit perfectly!) The reason I gave this dress 4 stars instead of 5 was because the fastener at the top of the zipper was missing, leaving a V shape at the top of the zipper (which showed up in pictures :-/ This dress definitely ran True to size; however, I have a very large chest (38F) and I had plenty of room, so if you are smaller chested, beware. I loved the sparkle of the sequins, which really worked well for the Carnival theme for the event my husband and I attended. The slit was a bit high, but didn't feel indecent. Since I am only 5'3", I ordered the regular, but if you want this dress to hit the floor, get the long. I wore pretty tall heels and it looked fine, but even my more modest heels lifted the dress above my toes. I would definitely rent this again!

LOVED LOVED LOVED these earrings!!
I LOVED these earrings! They were sent as a backup after the original earrings I rented appeared damaged. The customer service rep who helped me was amazing and these earrings were stunning. (I may even have liked them better than the originals!!). They were very long, so if you have a short next, be sure to measure before ordering--length is in item description. These earrings added the perfect sparkle to the outfit for the Black tie gala my husband and I were attending! I would definitely rent them again.
