Wedding
The earring was more bling than I expected. Somehow in the picture it looked lacy, but it is straight sparkle. Would be good with an equally sparkly dress.

Fall Wedding Fun
The necklace is beautiful and would work for a more formal event. The wedding was held in an un-air-conditioned barn on an October day when the temperatures with humidity were at 90 degrees. The bride sent out a last minute email asking all to dress comfortably and casually, so I opted not to wear it. Also the clasp was a little odd, but hubby figured it out for me. Still a true beauty.

Fall Wedding
This dress fit just a little tight, but loved the look as did my husband, I planned to wear it to the wedding, and very much hope to rent it again some day. However, I learned after putting in the order and having it delivered that the wedding would be in a barn with no AC on a day when the October temperature in the Pittsburgh, PA area was 90 degrees with humidity. The bride asked us all to dress as comfortably as possible, so I wore a sun dress I had instead. Still a beautiful dress, perfect for typical fall weather with its lovely fall colors.

This event was a wedding for my husband's colleague.
The dress fit well and I loved the pockets. However, the color was more pinkish magenta rather than purple and did not go well with my skin tone, so I did not wear this dress.

Delicious Evening
This was my backup dress for a fundraising event, but it was so pretty, I wanted to take it for a spin as well. Drove in hubby's convertible to a fine restaurant called Altius with a beautiful view of the city of Pittsburgh. Very comfortable and helped make the splurgy dinner extra special.

Compliments from the Hosts
Wore this for a private home evening fundraiser for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Bodiography dance company. Rented both size 8 and 10. My usual size is an 8 petite. Could fit in the size 8, but was more comfortable in the roomier 10. Received compliments on the stunning look from both the host and the hostess.

Runner-up rented for a wedding.
Very comfortable. Loved the pockets, but the other blue dress I rented looked even better, so went with that one instead.

Wedding for a woman I have known since shortly after she was born.
Fit great. Had shown the bride the dress ahead of time along with another red dress and she really liked both. Had it and the other dress delivered to my best friend's house in the Chicago area where I picked it up. Best friend, her husband, & mine all said definitely this blue dress. Drove to Milwaukee for the wedding. Compliments from our friend's the bride's father & wife and also the bride. Overall a great success for an emotional day.

Wedding for a woman I have known since shortly after she was born, so very emotional time for me.
Looked great, but a bit heavier than I like. Glad I only wore them for one night.

2015-16 New Year's Eve dinner
Medium fit perfectly and typically I wear a size 8 petite. Hubby picked this dress out of the 4 that I said I liked. He loves interesting backs & fronts. The woman dancer and her husband who joined us for dinner complimented me repeatedly on how great this dress looked. Friends on FB said the same. It was a very comfortable first time rental for me. Will definitely use Rent-the-Runway again in the future.
