Pretty, but WAY more pink than the picture shows.
I got this dress as part of my bridal package as a try on for my bridal shower. The dress is gorgeous, but I am 5'8" and the length was SUPER awkward, and the dress looks way more white in the picture than it is. It is VERY pink. I did not take a picture of it because it wasn't flattering on me AT ALL. One of those "prettier on the hanger than on me" kinda thing. I did not select this dress for my bridal shower.

Gorgeous dress! Beautiful emerald xolor
This dress was an emergency dress when my original order's backup dress became suddenly unavailable. I didn't wear this to the event as my original dress fit, but I would definitely rent this for future events. It's fitted, but has room. Spanx or high panty hose are probably a good option to smooth everything out, but the sequins make it harder to see every little bump and ripple. The cap sleeves are a nice touch, and the back hangs a little lower. I didn't wear a bra when I tried it on, not sure if my strap in the back would who or not. It is a very beautiful dress.

I've saved so much on shipping and insurance!
Pro was the best thing I could've done. I've rented so many times and it's saved me so much money! I love how this option is available! :)

Gorgeous dress! Fabulous color!
I rented this for my boyfriends brothers wedding. It is a gorgeous dress! Beautiful color! I received so many compliments. The wedding was at the end of December and I wanted a dress that would be longer sleeved but not heat me up too much while dancing the night away. Very flattering for my "problem areas". I went with the 14 instead of the 12 because I felt the 12 was a little snug in the armpit area and I wanted to feel comfortable. Would definitely rent again!

Simple yet elegant necklace
This was a backup necklace when my original one was unavailable. It's a very gorgeous and simple necklace but it complements any dress. It's tighter than I wanted but I added a simple bracelet to the back of to lengthen it and that worked since my hair covered the back.

Pretty necklace
This was a backup necklace when my original one was unavailable. I didn't select it and although it is pretty, it isn't my style. It's tighter and more choker style than I wanted and I'm not a big "pearls" person. It is a very beautiful necklace though.

Gorgeous blue color! Very pretty dress
This was my emergency "my original dress didn't fit" dress. It unfortunately arrived too late for my event, but I tried it anyway. It was a 14W which was extremely big on me. I normally wear a 12, sometimes a 14 if it's a slimmer busted dress, and I felt like I was swimming in this. The color is gorgeous and the fabric makes a simpler dress even more stunning. It would've been a great dress had I gotten a smaller size and received it on time.

Beautiful dress, didn't wear but I loved it.
This was my first choice dress and the 14 fit great except in the bust - it was borderline obscene if I wore this in public. The waist flairs out a bit and makes you look slightly larger, and there was an odd bump at the bottom of the zipper in the back. Gorgeous dress otherwise - great color and beautiful pattern. I would've loved to wear this.

Pretty but small! Don't expect to hold much!
This was my mystery bling. Very pretty purse! A light beige color with a beautiful shimmer. Incredible small though. Won't hold much more than a phone and lipstick.

Beautiful color and very flattering dress
Loved this dress! Normally wear a 12 but it was tight in the bust (I'm a 36D) so I went with the 14. It was a little roomier around the waist but overall more comfortable. Very unique color! I went with gold jewelry, a nude clutch and nude heels and it worked fabulously! Would definitely rent again!
Tender Love Care Dress

This dress was a knockout! I received many compliments on it throughout the night!
It fit to perfection! Va-va-voom! Hugged in all the right places. Slightly stretchy so it gives in certain areas. It is super low cut, and will showcase the girls. If you're uncomfortable with that, I wouldn't recommend it. I definitely had to yank it up a few times. The liner from underneath does roll over a wee bit at the top of the dress, and although I read that in many other reviews, it wasn't that bad and barely noticeable. I am 5'8" so I went with the long option, which was definitely the right way to go. I wore 3 inch heels, and it was the perfect length. I felt amazing in this dress. Highly recommend.
