Great dress for opening day!
Wore this to opening day at Del Mar. Really comfortable, cool cotton dress. It's a little tight in the bust (no bra possible here!) and the zip over the belt is a bit tough. In all though I got so many compliments from strangers - oh and did I mention the pockets? Paired wonderfully with the Ashley necklace. Thanks again RTR!

Great NYE dress
This dress was perfect for New Year's Eve. In the RTR photos it looks pure white, but it's more of a silvery white lace over a nude shell. Runs small in the chest area (I had to size up to accommodate the girls). If you have a chest, definitely size up for your backup.

Perfect accent piece
Just the right amount of sparkle -- this necklace was the perfect topper for my Parker rental. The necklace is not overly sparkly (I was a tad concerned), but photographs really well and looks great with a darker dress. Loved how the discs go all the way around the necklace, so even with hair up this would be a show stopper. Not very heavy either!

Color stands out!
This dress was definitely different than expected, but ended up being great. It's a heavier, almost sweater-like material with a slight shimmer. It definitely looks small on the hanger, and stretches a lot. Definitely size up for your backup size. If you have issues with extra skin around your armpit area, this may not be the dress for you -- the top definitely cuts in and that area will poke out. Had to wear a strapless bra -- the straps on my x-back bra stuck right out. In all, I liked it. I was glad that I rented the necklace in the model photo as well - it was a perfect complement to the dress.

Strange fit
This was my backup dress for my birthday party. I could barely get it on - the fit was so strange! It was too tight in the bum and shoulders an baggy around the waist. Luckily my other pick fit so I didn't need the backup.

Perfect birthday dress
Rented this for my 30th birthday extravaganza and was so pleased with the effect. The fabric is really light, as other reviewers have stated, and I was pleasantly surprised at how cool it was. This definitely ran small on me around the middle, but as I'm on the shorter side I found the straps a tad bit long (you can see in my photo they pop up a bit over my shoulders). But in all it was a great dress and I felt like a giant glass of champagne on my birthday. A spray tan goes a long way with this one as well!

Great pop of color
I loved renting this Trina Turk shift! It was incredibly flattering and comfortable for a recent wedding. I could have almost sized down to the 8, but the under dress was clingy around the pelvic area and it wasn't the best look. The zipper can be a bit tricky so it helps to have a friend to do the job!

10,000 Compliments
Loved this dress! It is definitely snug (I wore a good ol'fashioned girdle underneath to smooth out the tummy) but definitely is worth it! Definitely need the strapless bra (though smaller chested gals may be able to go braless). Sexy but not too revealing - just my kind of dress!

Great pop of color
I wore these with the Trina Turk "Kelly to my Green" dress. They were a great pop of color - and surprisingly light on the ears for how big they are. I now want to try out all of the colors!

Great statement piece
Rented this ring to wear with the Trina Turk "Kelly to My Green" dress, and it really added a lot of flair! The ring is really large and fun. My only gripe... it's adjustable, but after a few hours the "adjuster" got really tight on my finger and I had to take it off (sort of painfully). Luckily my dress had pockets!

Effortless dress!
I rented this dress to wear to a baby shower I was hosting... and I could not have been more pleased! It was super comfy (love ponte) and very flattering. The dress is lined with a slinky slip, which made it even more comfortable. I got so many compliments on it. The color is really spectacular too! I've recently lost some weight and this was a great dress to show it off in! I did need to iron it when it came out of the bag to ensure that the skirt fell properly. I wore it with the aqua Kate Spade Chandelier earrings in aqua, and the Lemonade ring. Big hit!

Kelly To My Green Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34D
This dress was phenomenal! I'm a bit between sizes right now and ended up going with the larger one that was sent, just because the event I was attending required sitting down for a long period of time at dinner. Agree with other reviewers that you definitely need spanx to smooth out your lower region. I was able to wear my spanx strapless bra with no problem/showing. The only problem is that there is a flap on the inside with the tag, and it can flip out over the ruffle if you are not careful. I tucked it into my bra and was fine, but it didn't look as flawless as the photo.
