Casino Night Theme Party/ surprise party

Get the convertible bra out! I realized too late I'd gotten rid of mine. So I freed the ladies but wish I had more than my B cup to fill it out. Looks great from the front and back. Swooping hemline isn't too short and gives an overall tea length look. Fitted at the waist and flares out for us j-lo booty ladies. Such a fun dress and not too cold with a sea breeze. I'd love to rent in the lilac color! A great way to dive in to the cutout trend.

Evening rainbow and rock

Body hugging fit. Very first time I had to buy spanks slimming underwear. Easy to dance in, lace was on trend. A little short for the seaside New England wedding I attended. Would recommend for a birthday or girls night out. I rented this very last minute so I was fairly pleased. A step up for a LBD.

Stylist surprise was spectacular

Simple cuff broke up my black dress with the right touch of pizazz. I wish the stylist surprise was still an option!

Super sparkly and so formal

I was stumped on what to wear for this wedding that I was in. Black bridesmaid's dress, purple flowers, and no directions for us except "wear anything." This was the right scale and not too big because I didn't want to take away from the bride! I think this necklace still was fancier than everyone else in the bridal party. Yikes! I paired this with my own pearl earrings, since this also had some pearl accents. The necklace's flowers are like luminescent snowflakes! Other uses: high collar dresses, bridal wear, Christmas or snowy galas, impressing the peasants.

Party earrings with a geometric edge

Sparkly midnight blue with a mauve ripple beneath give these gold accented earrings the bold look you need to stand out from other boring studs and frilly hanging earrings. This didn't end up working out for a black dress I had for for a wedding, but I was proud to wear the next day. I thought they'd be more black and purple. Other uses: 80's party, night out, work, fancy brunch, and dates.

Saw it on Hulu "Difficult People" Season 2

What a deeeeeep plunging neckline! My B cups needed taping down, as what the heck bra does one wear with this? It feels like a nod to 70's fashion with the sleeves and the skirt length. I ultimately wore a second dress, but I still wish I wore this. Recently, I saw this dress on season 2, episode 6 of Hulu's show Difficult People. Julie wore it for her 36th bday and it looked great on her! I had boob envy during the episode. Go look!

Snazzy

I had a plum-burgundy dress and these earrings were a stylist pick that really jazzed it up. Good proportion, not as loud or garish as you'd think for an evening event. Give this a shot!

Easy. Simple. Pretty.

This dress is fairly simple and not a knockout by any means. The burgundy-plum color is what made it special. The fit was great , the A line is easy for everyone to wear! I wore this to a New Year's Eve party that was second reception. I liked it but it was my husband's first choice over a more fun black dress. I'd rent a similar dress and the same style for a multitude of occasions.

On trend lace in a bold color with blood pressure cuff sleeves.

Let me clarify by saying that, like most other reviews, the sleeves run small. The dress itself fits appropriately in the waist and and bust. Satiny smooth lining, a lovely scalloped hemline. The boat neck and a-line skirt is so forgiving for many body types. The size 6 fit beautifully, the length was above the knee on my 5'8" tall body. But Daaayyyyyum the sleeves gave me what I can only describe as "ice cream sandwich triceps." It's like muffin top, but your untoned tricep fat comes oozing out toward your elbow. Appropriate for my event, which was a Massachusetts church wedding with a restaurant private reception. It was a chilly fall day, so it felt comfortable. I wasn't hot until later in the night when the drinking and dancing were at their peak. I wore this dress with a chignon, pearl earrings and nude kitten heels. I used silver accents, but gold would also work well. The dress is a cobalt blue, like a bright blue-violet. This was my second time ever using RTR, one week after my first! Easy returns, easy packaging, many compliments as usual.

A subtly wacky and wild dress, a demure standout among LBDs

The cheetah crawl dress was a hit! My very first RTR experience. Had a baby seven months ago, has been about two years since buying a new dress for a wedding. I didn't know what to wear! Since I wouldn't pump until the end of the night, I chose this neckline to accommodate an increasing bust size. The waist was comfortable all night, even after seconds in the buffet line. It's a puffy skirt, so be aware of the volume and pleats, but it's flattering to mom butts and apple bottoms. The material is not loose or forgiving, so don't think it will stretch. The flower detail on the dress's bottom is more of a foil or metallic taupe than gold. The other colors of black cheetah print on navy background make this dress quite neutral, despite the mix of prints and textures. I accessorize do it with gold earrings, no necklace, some gold bangles and a half up hairdo. The shoes were sparkly gold heels, and half way through the reception I wore leather navy flats. Many compliments received for this dress! You'll feel special but won't distract from the event or bride!

Gold, round and pretty!

An added bonus to my dress rental! Wasn't sure if these would totally go with my dress, but at the price of rental, it was worth it because I wasn't sure that the pieces I owned worked either! So these earring complemented my navy and black dress. The dress is Cheetah Crawl by Mark + James by Badgley Mischka. The bottom had a metallic taupe that isn't quite gold, but the earrings echoed the look nicely. Great color, not too heavy. Texture detail on earrings can go casual like a ladies night out to very formal. On me, they dangled to my jaw line. I was able to dance in them, but they are not for spinning and twirling. Versatile, so go for them!
