Gorgeous beaded dress, great for a formal wedding
Wore this dress for my friend's wedding and ended up loving the choice. The dress is a true sheath so although it does not do much for the shape of the body, it lends itself well to over-indulging in food and drink and dancing for 3 hours straight. I ordered both the 12 and the 14 and wore the 12. I would size down for a backup since I didn't even need to try the 14 on and I typically fall between the 2 sizes. Was very stylish while easy going, the beading was beautiful although there were a few small sections where the beadwork had been damaged it was not noticeable from a distance. The beadwork makes the dress kind of heavy but for a late fall wedding in Florida I was comfortable both inside and outside at the venue. I received more compliments on this dress than on anything else I have worn. The dress is whiter than I was anticipating, so I would suggest nude undergarments. You can easily wear a standard bra with this dress though which helped in the comfort and dancing ability. I ended up wearing metallic gold sandals with the dress that worked well. I would suggest gold or black based on the beadwork. The dress is such a showstopper alone that I just paired it with my everyday jewelry and small studs and it went over beautifully. Would definitely rent again/buy if that option becomes available. At 5'9" the dress was a nice length for church and dancing especially with flats. It doesn't show off much shape but it's not designed to do that.

Very Cute, Comfortable, Easy dress to wear
Absolutely loved this dress. Super soft, flowing material that made wearing the dress very easy. Dark blue color that was appropriate for dinner at a nice restaurant but was not out of place later at the bar. I am busty and thought the dress covered everything while still being stylish. Dress is longer in the front and back than the sides but was long enough all around the hem and the sleeves for me at 5'9". This dress can easily be dressed up or down due to the nature of the fabric. The gather at the waist is not tight at all, and if anything the dress runs slightly large which just added to its ease. I really did not want to take this dress off and would purchase it if it comes up for sale. I would size down for a backup if necessary.

Cute, Very Small Formal Clutch
Received this clutch through mystery bling. The clutch went well with both dresses I had chosen for my friend's wedding weekend, was in great shape and was very on trend. The clutch only holds a phone, a hotel key, an id and some cash/cards so plan accordingly. I did manage to also fit a lipstick and perfume roller so it wasn't so small that it wasn't practical. The chain did get stuck in the clutch easily but that's to be expected with this style of bag.

Classic, and stylish, but still daytime appropriate!
I wore this dress for my Masters graduation underneath my graduation gown. The dress is well made and a medium-weight fabric, perfect for the first week of may. The dress is actually black in the bottom pattern, not brownish as I was expecting, which actually worked much better! Paired it with black pumps for graduation and the pockets of the dress were perfect to hold my phone, ID and key since I couldn't have a purse when I walked and didn't want to make a family member hold my things. I do have a large bust (36 DD) and the top was a bit snug and a little short. I think an extra inch of fabric or a smaller bustline would have made the dress more flattering. The dress easily transitioned into post-graduation brunch and then after a shoe change into sandals, was cute and comfortable enough to go explore the Nashville Craft Fair outside on a Saturday afternoon. The fabric breathed, and I got tons of compliments from random people on the streets. Would rent again for a summer party/event.

Gorgeous dress!
The dress is gorgeous. It was more structured and more of a neoprene material on the bottom than I was expecting so it wasn't the most flattering right above my hips, but it wasn't enough to not wear the dress. The material on the top is much thinner than the skirt, so the zipper would get stuck right where the fabric changed. Although the description says you can wear a normal bra with the dress, I don't see how since the top cuts in on the shoulders and the straps are fairly thin. I wore a strapless bra and had no issues. The only note I would make is that if you have a larger bust the dress becomes very high waisted. I wish that I could have had one more inch of the top fabric so the waist seam was at my natural waistline rather than above it. I kept trying to pull the dress down. The dress is gorgeous and was perfectly cute and stylish without being revealing to chaperone my students' prom. The dress is true to size, but a bit short if you are tall. Wore it with black pumps and it looked good. Wish I had taken a full length picture to share! This was my first RTR experience and it was incredibly simple and efficient. Thanks RTR! Will be renting again!

Underneath The Stars Dress
SACHIN BABI

Adorable, Quirky way to liven up a formal event!
Paired this bag with the Sachin and Babi Underneath the Stars dress as recommended by the stylist team. The bag is adorable! There was a small piece of the chain metal missing on the bottom, but you can tell this bag gets rented often. You can double up the handles and carry the bag in your hand or pull one loop and put it on your shoulder. The rose gold color is gorgeous, and it was such a cute and unexpected addition to my outfit to chaperone my students' high school prom. I received so many compliments, I wish I could buy this, even though it is well-loved! The bag is really small and fits about your phone, an extremely small wallet and a lipstick for touch-ups, but I didn't think it held any less than any other evening clutch.

Great, inexpensive way to glam up a dress!
Rented the earrings to go with the Sachin and Babi Underneath the Stars Dress, and I am so glad I did! Great way to make a dress more formal and loved the fact that they were inexpensive. I rarely repeat large statement pieces so this was a great way to go. The earrings were larger than I thought they would be but were not very heavy and I got tons of compliments! They come in an accessories box to keep them protected and it all worked out perfectly!
