LOVE
I've got short hair, so I'm a big fan of statement earrings, and these beauties did not disappoint! I wore them to a black tie NYE gala, with the Nha Khanh simplicity dress, and they were the perfect little pop for such a minimalist gown. They're slightly bigger than I expected, but I didn't find them heavy at all for their size and comfortably wore them to ring in the new year (and then some).

Stunning Cutouts
This gown is PERFECT for an hourglass figure, and the sheer panels in particular emphasize and flatter that shape. If anything, it runs slightly tight in the hips, but this added to the overall va va room/jessica rabbit vibe. I'm 4'11.5" and wore the 2P with 5inch heels and the length was perfect. Also worth noting, you may not be able to wear undergarments with this dress, but the material is thick and the dress is fully lined.

Mystery Accessory
I ordered a mystery accessory to complete my Valentine's day look, and these were a pleasant surprise. I never ever EVER wear hoops, but these were interesting and different enough that I made the exception. Look closely, the hoop portion is a translucent white material rather than metal, which I really liked. Slightly smaller than a quarter, but bigger than a nickel, and they're classy with an edge.

Loved this jacket!
I loved the versatility of it (I wore it one night with pumps and a date night dress, the other with converse and jeans), but the front closures came unhooked too easily for regular wear. If you're between sizes definitely size down.

Elegant but sexy
I wore this for a black tie NYE gala. If RTR ever included this gown in a clearance sale, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The open back is stunning (sorry, I forgot to snap a photo of that part) and the leg slit is just the right side of scandalous. The slit is in the center of the dress, so it requires a little extra effort to keep things covered when sitting and walking down stairs. I went braless because of the back, but the front is blousey enough to make it comfortable to do so. Because of my height, I wore 5 and 3/4in heels to make the length work. It was still ever so slightly long, but thanks to the slit the gown flowed beautifully and I didn't have any difficulty walking. The hook an eye closure at the top of the zipper fell low/mid back and dug in to my skin when I leaned back a bit, but I think a previous wearer may have bent it out of shape. With a little help bending it back, it was fine.

Inside The Studio Gown

Unflattering shape for my body
I rented this in size 2, with a size 4 back-up, but returned both. The 2 was a great fit in the shoulders, but extremely tight in the chest which caused the whole body to stretch awkwardly. The sleeve and overall length were long on me, but at my height this didn't come as a surprise. As for the size 4, the bust and body were a better fit, but the shoulder was waaaayy too big. Overall, I think in either size, this dress is best suited to a girl with less going on up top (C cup or less), and more height to work with. Even with a pair of 6in. michael kors heels, my short self couldn't make this one work.
