Classic Glamour
I thought this dress was very flattering. I was surprised that I wore the 8 and not the 6. The dress really has no stretch in it and it felt a little tight right below the bust when zipped. There was plenty of room in the skirt area and I don't think the size made a difference there. I decided to opt for comfort and not vanity! I loved the color - navy is gorgeous on anyone. My only criticism ... the shoulder straps felt long and the plunge deep. This is where lingerie tape is a must (I did order it - thank god!). Remember, sequins are hard and not always comfortable ... but this dress did a good job with the embellishments.

Really Unique
I loved this cuff. It is actually NOT a solid piece, but separate thin bracelets soldered together in the back. Therefore, there is movement, which adds to its uniqueness. Solid quality. Loved it.

Stand-out Dress
This dress is well constructed, comfortable, and probably can flatter any shape or size. The material is a semi-thick, stretch satin that lays nicely and does not wrinkle. The lingerie straps add to the overall comfort, because you do not have to hitch your dress up all night. The black, peak-a-boo layer is actually the top of a built-in bra. As a 34 DD, this bra was not enough, and I wore my own strapless underneath (no big deal). However, I did like that I could "raise" that black layer up a bit higher, so I didn't feel like I was spilling out all over the place. However, if you are on the sassier side, feel free to pull it down slightly and show off the girls. So many compliments from this dress! I did wear it with nude shoes (the model shows black) and I liked this better. For fun, I rented the gold cuff that RTW recommended - cute touch.

Different
This dress is the most interesting dress that I have ever worn. The material is extremely thick and it is well made. The black material feels like it is from a satin wet suit and the gold material is very shimmery. A dress like this should be firm fitting. I wore a size medium and had the size large as my back up - I should have ordered a size down. Because it felt big, the straps were very long, but I solved this with double-stick lingerie tape. The satin bolero jacket I'm wearing in the photo is mine, though the gold cuff is rented. I would definitely recommend this dress - order your true size and then one smaller.

Worth it!!!
This already paid for itself after my first rental. I have rented three times already, and I'm really enjoying the benefit.

Sophisticated
Gorgeous dress. Thick fabric gives the dress a well-constructed and high quality feel. Wore it to a Mother's Day Brunch at a golf club. Did need to wear spanks underneath to give a nice, smooth look. Would definitely recommend as an alternative to a dress suit. Loved that I didn't have to hide my bra straps.

These earrings are CLIP ONS. It does say this in the description, but somehow I didn't notice. They were great nonetheless, but very heavy.
