Chic and sassy - but demurely graceful
This mustard color dress is a stunner. The neck and hem fringe detail is effortlessly chic, without being too fussy. The nude slip underneath the lace overlay gives the dress a subtle sexiness, without compromising coverage or classiness. I wore this to daytime polo event and received tons of compliments on the cut and color. Think: perfectly preppy with a little twist.

This elegant, timeless dress was gorgeous, sexy - but not ostentatious - and absolutely stunning.
The dress's bold, teal color balances the delicate femininity of the lace fabric for a modern take on a classic silhouette. Similarly, the longer length and sleeves keep the dress classy despite it's form hugging cut. This dress is perfectly balanced in every way. I wore this to a religious ceremony and felt beautiful, feminine, and powerful all while being occasion-appropriate. The color looked a little more green-teal than blue-teal than I expected based on the pictures, but equally gorgeous.

Delicate and elegant show stopper with old world glamor.
The dress is absolutely beautiful. The beading is so much more delicate and intricate in real life than in the photos. The lining itself is more of a nude than a pale pink per the photos, which I preferred. This dress is definitely formal and very elegant. I wore this to a black tie Great Gatsby themed holiday party, and it was a huge hit.

Sexy, but not too revealing, is all class and sass
I rented this dress for a black tie optional / semi-formal event. I was worried about being too formal or too casual, and the high-low cut nailed a perfect balance. The dress really stuck out thanks to the unique cut and modern, edgy style. The open front and mesh cut out added a sleek, sexiness to the dress without being trashy or overly revealing. That being said, I have a small chest, so the front didn't show too much cleavage; but I'm not sure that would have been the case on a bigger busted woman. I probably wouldn't have rented this if I had more going on in that department, if you know what I mean. The dress was true to size and fit like a glove. The stretchy fabric was INSANELY comfortable and sucked in all my little "trouble areas." The dress looked far better in person than any photos (and especially better than the stock/model photos). Worth the risk - it's a great rent.

Elegant way to show off a little personality
I wore this dress to a semiformal fundraising event and it struck the perfect balance between demure elegance and fun, personality. The dress is made of a thick, sumptuous material and the print looks exactly like it does in the stock photo. Combined with the tea-length and delicate flare at the bottom, the dress is nothing but class all the way. It runs true to size, but be aware that it is longer, so if you aren't used to that with a flare you might feel a little uncomfortable. It's a statement dress for sure, but one that will bring you nothing but compliments. Fantastic dress that I would definitely rent again.

Sleek and sultry, but not too ostentatious.
I rarely, if ever, wear sparkles. Mostly because I'm not sure I can pull it off after the age of 30. However, I rented this as a backup dress for a masquerade event at the symphony and loved it so much I ended up wearing it that evening. The beading was subtle, but intriguing thanks to the black on black tones and high-quality detail work. The dress itself hugs all the right curves and gives the illusion of sexiness without being overtly revealing or too tight. The longer hemline and sleeves add a classy edge that make this appropriate for a night at the symphony or a night on the town. This versatile dress got a ton of compliments and was the perfect pick for the evening. HIGHLY recommend.

Ridiculously comfortable for such a stunning dress.
This dress is more gold than the picture shows - in a good way. It's bright with a bold shimmer (without skewing into a 90's prom dress or trashy territory). The overall effect of the bodycon style with crisp color blocking is extremely elegant and modern with just the right amount of sexy tightness offset by the modest cut for true formal flair. I also have to mention that this is one of the most comfortable, breathable, movable gowns I have ever worn. The model photos don't do this dress justice. You'll love it.

Glitz and classiness all the way for a formal affair.
These earrings are absolutely gorgeous and catch the light perfectly. The bright, clear crystals are substantial without being gaudy. They also have a nice weight and an elegantly long length to add some serious sparkle to a formal affair. At the same time, they won't weigh down or hurt your ears, so you can wear them all night without worry.

Sleek and sophisticated - but too small for iPhone 6 holders.
I loved this purse, but it was simply too small. The chain-mail exterior was edgy without going overboard and the elongated design gives the clutch a cool, modern vibe. Unfortunately, an iPhone 6 JUST fits in the purse along with your ID and a credit card, but you can forget your keys and lip gloss. After the phone - there's simply no more room. I had to leave my other things in my jacket pocket at the coat check to carry the clutch. This one is a little too much fashion and not quite enough function for me.

Perfect color, perfect drape, and perfect sheen for a perfect event.
Nothing gives your ensemble a formal upgrade like a bold, cobalt blue dress. The thick, draped fabric keeps the color and cut from looking cheap - trust me, this dress is nothing but classiness and elegance. The cut is formfitting without being uncomfortable and the length allows the dress to teeter between cocktail attire and black tie with ease for that event you're "unsure of."

Draping of this dress will make you look royal
The asymmetrical cut and full lining give this dress a gorgeous movement that is elegant and whimsical. The neck detail is delicate but intriguing, adding a touch of glamour that isn't childish or over the top. My only negative comment is that the fabric doesn't look exactly like it does in the picture. It's more of a soft, brushed cotton blend rather than a dupioni or crepe as I originally thought. As a result, the fabric looks a little duller than I would have hoped, and the black seemed a little faded (possibly from wear/wash). I would have preferred a more polished fabric with a slight sheen, but this did not ultimately detract from the gown and styling. It's a stunning cut and will undoubtedly get you tons of compliments.

A gorgeous pop of color
The earrings themselves are beautiful, with a gorgeous deep green hue and visible sparkle. They were a little lighter than I expected them to be, and the clip ons were worrisome (I kept checking to make sure they hadn't fallen off), but they were absolutely lovely and added a nice "pop" to my outfit. The look is great despite that minor annoyance and I'd definitely wear them again, although I wish the setting would have been a little more visible around the stones.

Delicate and versatile
The gold and silver combination made the clutch as versatile as it is beautiful. The sheen looked a little more white than I would have initially expected, so keep that in mind, but it was very attractive.

A touch of warmth and luxury for any season
This is the perfect accent for a spring event but could easily carry over into fall or winter. The plush feathers and soft shape add a feminine touch to any ensemble without being overwhelming. It's glamorous and chic - and just a touch ostentatious to make sure you are the center of attention. The feathers shed slightly, but this was barely noticeable - and the only reasons I am not giving it a 5 star.

Preppy pearls in a bold setting makes for a win
Preppy pearls and rhinestones get a modern upgrade with a fun, bold setting. The necklace is just sparkly and interesting enough to draw the eye, but not overwhelming. The necklace is a great length and size to pull together any outfit.

Sunny color and sleek lines make are effortlessly elegant and fun.
I have rented this dress in several colors for various occasions from weddings to semi-formal galas and parties. It fits perfectly and accentuates petite figures to make you look like you have some serious curves. The fabric has a subtle sheen that makes the rich colors pop without being garish. The longer hem line keeps the body-hugging cut classy and elegant and lets you walk the line between formal, semi-formal and fun.

Paired with gold jacquard blazer for a sophisticated, but fun semi-formal soiree
The fitted, lace top perfectly balances the full, tulle skirt for a flirty, feminine edge. Paired with a gold jacquard tuxedo blazer, bright red lips and a bold gold necklace, this ensemble was polished, sassy and glamorous. I wore this to the opening party for the SB International Film Festival and had so many people tell me they thought it was "the" dress of the evening. This was an absolutely amazing dress that made me feel playful and sophisticated. None of the pictures do this dress justice.

Great party dress, but runs a little large.
The dress was nice, and the gold was beautiful without being gaudy or over the top. However, the dress did run big. it was a little loose in the bust and longer than shown on the model photo (the lace overlay went to my ankles). Because I wore a bolero with it and black tights, neither fit issues detracted from the overall look, but had I worn the dress alone, as pictured, I might not have been able to get away with it.

Antique, but edgy with just the right amount of sparkle.
The antique gold color of the necklace keeps it subtle, while adding a nice touch of sparkle to your attire. The necklace looks great on and was light enough not to be annoying.

Ultra glamorous, ultra comfortable. PERFECT accessory.
The bolero was cut perfectly to add a little warmth and glamour to a winter formal event without needing to worry about it slipping like a shawl or cape. The feathers were unbelievably soft and didn't shed or itch. The jacket is a statement piece that adds decadence without going overboard.

Bold dress that makes an elegant statement.
The color and architectural design are bold and eye catching. The color is a true red that really pops without being garish. My only comment is that the cut is slightly large right at the waist, but it was still an incredible dress that I'd wear again and highly recommend.
