"What brings you to Tara?"It's a curtain dress! From the Carol Burnett parody of Gone With The Wind.
The material is beautiful, the pleats are perfect and the color is as shown. It has a nice liner so it's not sheer. I'm 5'7" and the length is perfect. My bust is a 34C. It runs large, very large. The size 8 was to big for me, I had to wear a strapless bra that I had to "stuff" to keep the dress up. The dress is totally straight, no curve at all. So it fit like a beautiful lined pleated curtain wrapped around my body. It might be perfect for a maternity dress or if you need to hide something like a pachyderm under your skirt. I didn't have the courage to wear it.

Stiff Material
I rented this for my teenaged daughter to wear. She is 5'4" and weighs 103 pounds. The dress fit was fine but the material was very stiff and the dress was uncomfortable for her to wear. It might be better for a more mature person. The color is as pictured and the dress looks beautiful.

I rented his for my daughter. Perfect for a teenagers dance party!
My daughter is on the petite side, weighing 103 pounds and is 5'4". The zero fit perfectly. It's a short dress and if you are taller then 5'6" I recommend wearing shorts under it. The top is somewhat fitted but not clinging and the bottom has a full skirt with a little poof. Perfect for the "cooler" princess. She wore this with black gladiator sandals and a simple good bracelet. She danced the night away!

Classic sheath with beautiful subdued embroidery detail.
It fit perfect! It fell like a sheath should, not fitted and not baggy. I'm 5'7" and the length fell about 5 inches above my knee. The detailed embroidery makes it unique enough to stand out yet the back color keeps it subdued. It's a nice classic you can wear anywhere dressed up or down. I wore it with my Tiffany bubble earrings, a gold cuff and basic black sandals. This is by far the best dress I have ever rented.

Good for twirling!
It's made well. The color is exactly as shown. The size 8 fit fine. I have an unlimited membership and I allowed my 13 year old daughter select a dress for me, this is what she selected. This dress would be perfect for a younger lady possibly a teenager who enjoys twirling or for a dance party. Seeing I'm 51 and not a spinner, it's just not for me. Next time I'll have her select a dress from my Queue! LOL!

Great color, stretched out waist.
The color is perfect for spring. The fabric is soft and comfortable. Unfortunately the fabric around the waist was stretched out so much that it was baggy in the stomach. Then it was fitted in the hips. Possibly good for a maternity dress.

Cute Jacket, cut short
It runs short and wide. Good for "bull fights!". Not my style. In the photo it looks as if the jacket covers the waistline of the skirt. In real life it doesn't . The material is good quality.

A slice of ice wrapped in gold!
Loved them! Fun, light weight earrings that match almost everything. You can dress these up or down, and their weight doesn't make you cry. Fancy enough to wear with solids and neutral enough to wear with prints.

Perfect cosmopolitan piece.
I love this necklace. Living in jeans and hanging out with kids and horses is what I do best. This necklace fit in perfectly at the barn with jeans and on the avenue in NYC. The blue goes great with denim and the style looks great with basic black at night. It's not to heavy, so you don't feel like you're wearing garland around your neck. Some of these statement necklaces look like they belong on Christmas trees, but not this one. It has rhinestones on it so you can match it with simple diamond stud earrings. I thought it looked the best with solid color v-neck or button down tops. Leave it to my good friend Oscar to come up with this!

Couldn't wear them, they are to heavy and hurt.
They are beautiful earrings and have a nice classic look. The color is exactly as pictured, a subtle gray pearl with gold trim. I couldn't wear them because they hurt my ears.

Good quality practical bag. It's a sophisticated version of an old school bag.
It has a nice feel to it, almost like your favorite Voltaire saddle leather. The leather is soft but the bag is structured and firm. It stands independently like the photo shows. It is a true black color with a matt pebble texture. The inside is a dark green canvas material. It has one interior side zip pocket and two open pockets. Both open pockets are the same size and my iPhone fits in one nicely. It truly resembles an old fashioned school bag. I like it.

Nice jacket, easy to dress up or down.
It's a basic blazer as pictured. It has a boxy wide fit. The sleeves fall a couple inches above my wrists, so I push up the sleeves when I wear it. If I leave the sleeves long I feel like I'm wearing my "little brother's" Jacket. I wore it with a lace dress and booties and then again with jeans, a shiny grey t-shirt and a fuzzy scarf. The back is cropped so I like wearing it with a longer blouse that flows down the back.

It's cute for casual wear.
The bag is a light weight leather sack, but a cute sack, with a draw string closure that does not close properly and only has one small side zip pocket. I wouldn't take this on city public transportation, i.e. bus or subway, nor to a crowded public event. It's a soft leather bag that folds over when you put it down. It does not stand up like the image. For some reason I expected it to be more stiff. It's more silver then black, and it's shiny. It does have a nice adjustable black strap.
