Pretty accessory!
I opted for the "surprise accessory" option - for $15, I figured, why not? The earrings selected for me were sparkly and pretty and a great compliment to both dress options I had rented.

Very pretty accessory
I think $15 is a great value to rent a "surprise" accessory and liked that the earrings were a great match with both dresses I had rented
Beautiful dress but too big! Size down!
This dress is beautiful and elegant, but runs very large. It was too baggy for me to wear. I will definitely try it another time in a smaller size.

Gorgeous, sexy, sparkly dress 'o fun!
This dress is stunning. Very sparkly and Jessica Rabbit. The shape and fit are super flattering ... However, it does run large AND it's kinda heavy, so as the night goes on, you may find yourself having to hike it up frequently. The train is LOVELY, however, I used a basting stitch to shorten it to avoid being stepped on all night. I'm a relative tall girl (5'8"), and the long length was perfect with heels. The sparkles were perfect for New Year's Eve (just a little chaffing on my arms as noted in some previous reviews), but the dress itself is elegant enough in its shape and design for any formal event. As usual, perfect on-time delivery from RTR! Side note: please start including fashion tape with rentals like you used to!

Perfect Gatsby Gala dress!
This dress was light and airy and perfect for a 1920s theme gala event! It does run a little small but it is just darling!

Another fab dress!
This dress is darling! Very pretty and classy - it was completely appropriate for my husband's holiday party and cute enough to go out in afterwards. If you are tall, be forewarned that it is VERY short. And the skirt is very voluminous, which is why I paired it with tights. Super comfy to wear - yay to getting to wear regular undies! - and very, very sweet. Many thanks to RTR for another great customer service experience, too - my shipment was dated by UPS, but RTR over nighted me another dress so that I would have it in time. They continue to be an awesome company!

Fun, elegant fairy tale dress!
This is definitely one of my favorite gowns I've worn! Rented for a black-tie NYE gala. Photos do not do this dress justice - the bodice is elegant and fitted, but the tulle skirt is what makes this dress so attention-getting. I wanted to twirl all night like my daughters playing dress up! The bodice seems to run small. Which is why I wore the 4 instead of a 2, but it did seem to stretch a bit with wear. Also, at 5''i", I was happy with the regular length - the longer length would have dragged in the back too much (never fun on a dance floor or in a crowd). I can not wait to wear this dress again!

Beautiful, elegant bling!
This was my back-up dress for a NYE gala. While I ultimately chose to wear the other dress, I adore this one and have worn the gold version to a different event. The silver is brighter, wheras the gold is more subtle. Bear in mind that at 5'8, the long length gown is still rather short with heels. The gown is also stretchy and quite forgiving!

Order DOWN - this one runs large!
Very pretty dress that I couldn't wear because it was just too big. Love the short flared skirt and cut out detail. This dress arrived BRAND NEW with the tags still on - I wish I'd ordered the smaller side, bc I would have loved to have worn it.

This is a fantastic LBD!
Loved this dress. It fits snugly which is why I wore the small vs the XS - but it does stretch a bit as you wear it. I'm tall - 5'8" - and love that it was a little on the short side. The cut out details on the top are sexy while still giving good coverage to balance out the short length. Super comfy & sexy!

Disappointing -odd! - bodice detail. :(
I love & own several Nicole Miller gowns. This one fit true to size. However, something with this bodice was .... Off. I'm a 32d and it fit fine, however, there was a strange puckering to the bodice that looked ... Nipple-esque, to be perfectly blunt. Only in a slightly-lower-than-u-want-them kinda location. I was so glad I took advantage of ordering the alternate dress as a back up! That said, I can't help but wonder if something was damaged/defective with this particular gown, as all of the other ladies that have posted pictures of themselves look BEAUTIFUL. I'm chalking this up to one strange fit & will continue to always order a back up. My other gown was gorgeous & customer service continues to be awesome!

The perfect compliment to a gorgeous gown!
I usually just wear stud earrings, but with a bare neck, this dress needed a little more. These earrings were a perfect compliment without upstaging the dress. I was surprised at how lightweight & comfortable to wear they were! I hated to return them.

We wore this to a very formal gala featuring many Houston gabillionaires .... And I stood out!
The dress is beautiful and stands our in a crowd without being too disco-y. I felt like the Southern Plantation earrings were a perfect coliment to the dress. Because it is a bit stretchy, I would have been more comfortable wearing a size down. I called customer service the day before the event, but unfortunately, the smaller size was not available. The dress has a lovely train, but is not exactly crowd-friendly. I had a friend "hem" me with fashion tape & it worked like a charm. I would definitely rent this dress again! The day after the event, our photo was featured in a event write-up. It was rather a compliment to be included among the 'beautiful people" of Houston.

I wore this to a friend's wedding reception and literally received dozens of comments!
This dress was completely comfortable to wear! I went without a bra & just used petal covers - it fights snugly in the bodice so a strapless bra just added bulk. It is sexy and edgy without being"too much." definetely recommend wearing with your hair up to do the dress justice! I paired it w 'bling' Mui Mui heels (hey, I'm in Texas!) and simple accessories - the dress details are all you need! I received SO MANY compliments wearing this dress - I don't want to send it back! This was my first RTR experience and it coud not have been better!
