GORGEOUS Gown - I want to buy it!
Fit was great, but I wish I'd gotten it in the 14L instead of 16R (this was my backup-size dress). Skirt hit me just below the ankle before I put the heels on. Definitely need to either go bra-less or have a backless bra, although I was able to get away with one of those really low-back, longline bridal bras. Very comfy to wear standing, sitting, and dancing all night and beautifully made and lined, truly felt "couture." Fun, swishy train, moves great. A dramatic, eye-catching gown...and the pictures online do NOT do the color justice, it absolutely pops, a KILLER fuchsia that you're not going to see anyone else wearing at your event! I got comments on it all night, and it made me feel like Cinderella. I would love to buy this dress. Clean, flattering lines and just a stunning look. Recommend the Levin mother-of-pearl multi-colored clutch with it and some slamming, modern & sparkly earrings! Here's one pic for now...I'm still waiting to get the full-length one and then I'll post it.

Not As Much Pop As You'd Think
Pretty earrings, but with the bright, bold dresses I had selected for the event, these were not as sparkly or "mod" as I'd hoped for. The metal isn't bright gold - it's more antique-y, brass-looking. And the stones didn't catch the light much. I ended up wearing my own pair of Swarovsky crystal earrings and they were much more dramatic.

Beautiful, unusual & fun dress
Not as plunging of a neckline as shown on the models, and I was a little disappointed that the waistband is actually somewhat "cheap" looking, just a plain black grosgrain ribbon. I wish it had been a cute, slim patent leather belt. The top had plenty of room, across the bust and under the arms and the dress would have been really comfortable to wear all night and dance in at my event. Color was spectacular, the layers of satin, lace, and netting were very textural, skirt was floor length in my bare feet (I'm 6' tall) and would have been perfect in heels. Swishy, pretty, unusual, and fun...but it was just overshadowed by my other, spectacular Rent the Runway dress, so I didn't choose to wear this one for the actual occasion.

I WANT TO OWN THIS CLUTCH
I got asked about this clutch all over and over evening long. It is bigger than it looks, lustrous and rich, catches the light so wonderfully. Just GORGEOUS, glowing & pretty & unusual...the pics here don't do it justice! A marvelous accessory and worth every penny of the rental. If I win the lottery, I'm buying this clutch!
