Daughter stole it - says everything you need to know :-)
Super stylish daughter stole it and wears it under tshirts. It looks very cool. Totally different way to wear it than had expected,

Surprisingly special for a seemingly simple dress - loved it.
Got so many compliments at work - loved the style; the material; the color; and the pockets! Thinking about buying it...

The fabric and design is beautiful, but not for larger breasted women
The fabric is beautiful - it falls beautifully. The design is beautiful. But I am not a 12 and the 12 wouldn't zip up over my breast without squishing them awkwardly. I would say that anyone with a C cup or smaller should wear this; I am a C-D. I was a little afriad I'd break the zipper. Never worn it :-(

The color is very pretty (although outside my usual comfort zone). Mixed on the fit and style.
The color is very pretty - and in a room of women in black formal dresses, it definitely stood out. When I first received it, it looked a little too much like a bridesmaid or prom dress, but I had no alternative - and frankly, the color grew on me (and my husband LOVED it). I got TONS of compliments on the color. The fit is a little odd - it is tight on the bottom (and definitely shows every curve) but it was a little loose over my boobs so I was pulling it up occasionally all night (but that is sort of the deal with strapless dresses). Definitely could not have danced in this dress, but it worked for this occasion. I had to wear a size larger than usual.

Really fun and funky dress and very comfortable.
This dress has no shape to it - as other reviewers have pointed out - but if you are tall, it is quite short and with cool heels (I wore 3.5 inch wedges), it is really stylish and sexy in a subtle way. Might not recommend the dress for someone on the shorter side. I felt very high fashion in it - and the billowing shape with the contrast of bare legs was great. Also has really cute, hidden side pockets - which for me is a huge plus!!

A little too brassy and sparkly for me.
These were sent to me as a replacement for the bracelets I ordered (which were unavailable last minute). The bracelets I wanted were silver tone and less sparkly. These are very brassy and sparkly - too much for me and whenever I touched hem, sparkles actually were left on my hands (and then on my face, etc). Did not wear them.

Super comfortable, cute and casual
I got this dress as a backup but actually liked it better than the my primary rental. It is not fancy - looked adorable with converse low tops and a pony tail. Fun for a party. Very comfortable. Not fitted but not baggy.

Pockets! Beautiful dress but the pockets make it more hip and fun!
This dress is orange/red - maybe a little more red than it appears online. But definitely a bold color. The fabric is very high quality and feels great. I have a larger bust so the fit was perfect. You can wear a regular bra and it is really comfortable - short but not too short. The pockets are amazing - unexpected touch. Wore it with brown heels rather than open toes because it was unexpectedly cold.

Interesting design - elegant but bold statement
These earrings are very light. I wore them with the Trina Turk orange/red Florinda dress to a fundraiser (cocktail dress formality). They gold looked great with the orange color. I wore my hair up - they would not have been very noticeable had I wore my hair down given my skin tone and hair color. Definitely could wear them with jeans or a more casual outfit.

Funky and fun - definitely stands out!
Wore these to a fundraiser with a "bling" theme - couldn't have been happier. They are very comfortable. I actually wore them with platform sneakers and it looked very cool. Could dress them down further with a leather jacket and tank top.

Earrings are pretty - edgy and lightweight
Earrings are pretty - edgy and lightweight - but they didn't really stand out and blended with my skin and hair color. Would've been better if my hair was up.

Cool earrings - added a little edge to a conservative event
The thing that surprised me the most about these earrings was that they were so much lighter than I expected them to be (granted this wasn't a dancing event and they may have started to feel heavy if I had been dancing in them). They really stood out with a more conservative dress - but not too much (they were still very elegant). Would rent them again.

Elegant (and comfortable) cuff bracelet
I wore it for a more fancy occasion but it could definitely also look pretty funky with a pair of jeans. It was elegant and comfortable - and definitely more understated (and delicate) than a lot of cuff bracelets.

amazing shoes - great price
I bought these shoes because the price seemed really good compared to what I've seen elsewhere. They did not disappoint. They are really fun but can also be worn with something more traditional to give the outfit a funky edge. They are VERY high - but relatively comfortable because of the platform.

Lovely dress - very comfortable - but far from a show stopper
I rented this dress for a semi-formal event at which I would have to be speaking. I wanted to be comfortable and not self-conscious (and I couldn't wear anything too risque). This dress definitely fit the bill. I was very comfortable; it covered everything; I could wear a bra; and I wasn't tugging and readjusting all night. That being said, if I hadn't been in a position where I was speaking to the crowd and had to take on a slightly more conservative look, I would not have worn this dress. It didn't really do much for me. I felt attractive enough - but certainly would have gone in another direction. Also - IMPORTANT - it wrinkles really easily and you should probably rent it so that you have enough time to steam it if needed.

Beautiful dress, but not for someone with a fuller chest.
This was my back up dress. And to be honest - I wish it had fit because in person, it is elegant and the color is wonderful (especially for Fall). However, I could not wear it because it did not zipper up over my breasts. I am a full C but quite narrow (a 34). Perhaps it had shrunk - but there was no way I could wear it.

Mediocre.
I received these earrings as part of my mystery gift from the stylists. When I first pulled them out of the bag, I thought they looked worn and discolored, but once I put them on, they looked better. Not the statement piece I would have liked and the gold tone is very fake looking. I did get 1-2 compliments.

Fun and funky statement dress
I wore this to an event with dancing. It was incredibly comfortable (you can wear it with a regular bra!) and fun to dance in. Even though there are sequins, it is definitely not a formal dress and probably not even semi-formal (it was a little too short to be too fancy and its shape is surprisingly casual). It falls almost like a t-shirt dress and looks more funky and casual in person. There is zero structure to the dress - and I might not recommend it for women with curvy hips. Color stands out in a crowd of black. Wore the dress with the bracelets recommended by RTR - and they were a great accent. It was a surprisingly chilly evening and I ended up wearing the dress with brown boots - which ended up looking great (and also making it more casual and funky).

Fun and also elegant
These earrings are big - but not too big. I wore them to a pretty conservative evening event where I was speaking in a professional capacity to over 1000 people. They were the perfect amount of "bling" to add some personality to a conservative/work-appropriate dress. I wore my hair down - and had I wore my hair up, they might have been too much for this event. Would definitely also rent them again for a more formal event.

Eye catching piece!
I wore this bracelet with a more traditional dress at an event at which I was speaking. It was a pretty corporate affair but I wanted to add a little spice to me outfit - and this bracelet was perfect. It is very heavy and might be hard to dance with.
