Flattering dress with pockets!
This dress is super flattering! It hid my stomach well and gave me a nice small waist (my picture doesn't do it justice). Fabric is thick so it doesn't wrinkle, easy to wear with a normal bra, and of course, nice deep pockets! It was a touch tight on my rib cage and under my arm pits, but I barely noticed. I wore this to a baptism and it was perfect for the occasion.

Elegance you can dress up or down
Great earrings. I was worried they would be too much for a baptism, but they were small enough to sparkle but not draw too much attention. The post were a little short, so I felt like I had to put the backings on tighter in order to not lose them, but the backings were so snug I shouldn't have worried about it at all.

Love the Leo clutch!
I. Love. The. Leo. Clutch. This is the third time I've rented the Leo clutch but the first time for this design. I loved this design and got so many compliments on it. I've been meaning to buy one of these and I think this is the one I might pick. Love the credit card pockets on the inside and love the size of these in general. I feel like this particular Leo clutch was a little stiffer than the other ones so the pocket felt smaller than the others. But I was still able to fit in my money, cards, phone, and some make up without any problem. FYI, the pattern is only on the front, not the back. Not a problem but I was not expecting it.

This is a twirling dress!
This was my back up dress after my original choice wasn't available. I'm normally between a 12 and 14, but when the stylist recommended this dress, she suggested I get the 44 (US 8) and 46 (US 10). I was nervous it was going to be too small, but the dress has so much stretch I ended up wearing the 44, and maybe could have worn a size smaller! My favorite part of this dress is the skirt. When someone twirled me for the first time on the dance floor there was an "oooo" from everyone around me! With the fullness of the skirt and the weight of the material it made a pretty impressive effect. A few cons to the dress: 1. the waist line was either too high or two low. Where it hit me was not bad but not quite flattering enough. Maybe if I had a smaller size it would have been better. 2. The arm holes seemed fine at first, but I ended up futzing with them in the front. And when I took the dress off at the end of the night it was a little red running from my shoulder to my arm pit. 3. Why, oh, why does this dress not have pockets?! With the fullness of the skirt they would blend in perfectly! Overall, I would recommend this dress as it was mostly comfortable, looked nice, and had a great twirl. Definitely order down at least a size if not two or three.

Simple dress with a little bit extra
I got this dress for a wedding but at the last minute didn't have my original size. I'm usually a 12 or 14 for most designers here, but after reading reviews I ordered the 12 and 10. In the pictures I'm wearing the 10. It fit, but I felt it was just a tad too tight for me to feel comfortable. I ended up wearing it to drinks the night before and got lots of compliments on it. The zippers on the sleeve seem silly, but they did help when I felt too hot. I could unzip them, but the sleeves don't exactly roll well so I had to tuck them into themselves which felt uncomfortable. Overall I liked this dress a lot and I recommend ordering down for your back up size.

Love these earrings!!
These earring are gorgeous! I got compliments on them all night! There were a touch bigger than I expected and I was expecting them to be big. And I was playing with them a bit throughout the night, though I think it was because I was worried about them getting caught in my hair (which I curled). But really I have no complaints about them! I try to never rent the same thing twice but I would rent these again in a heartbeat!

Easy to wear all night!
This dress is comfortable and flattering and easy to wear all night. I wore it for a good 12 hours for a bachelorette party in NYC. I could wear a regular bra with it and the fabric was thick enough to give you smooth lines. I usually go between a 12 and 14 but I ordered a 10 and 12. I ended up wearing the 12 only because it was a bit more roomy and comfortable but I could have easily worn the 10.

Amazing color! And Pockets!
Love this dress! Color is amazing and you can never go wrong with pockets. I was able to go purseless and keep my phone and a few cards/ cash in the pockets. I was paranoid about losing them, but they're pretty deep pockets and nothing came even close to falling out. Some cons/ things to note: •The fabric around the armpits is excessive. You can see it in my picture and even on the model. I have no idea why that's like that and I couldn't really fix it, so I just dealt with it. •When I tried it on I was able to wear a regular bra with it, though it was very close to peaking out. I added some double sided tape just incase, but if anything the tape kept showing. Eventually I took the tape off and then my bra would peak out constantly. Next time I'll go braless •I was very surprised at how big this dress was! I go between a 12 and 14 so those are the sizes I ordered. I expected to have to wear the 14 but I was swimming in it. And the 12 was even a little loose. The 10 might have been a little tight, but if I order again I'll definitely give it a try. •I ordered the Long and unforunately it was a little too long. I only wore 2" heels so it was dragging on the floor ever so slightly. It would have been fine for a cocktail party, but I had to pick it up for the dance floor. But that's ok, bc I ended up sashaying with it all night. TL:DR - Beautiful color, deep pockets, order down, unless you're very tall get the regular length, go braless

Shiny!
Loved these earrings! They were my only piece of jewelry worn with a solid color dress and they were just the right size and had just the right amount of sparkle. A good statement piece

Fun and colorful, but heavy!
Loved how fun and colorful this necklace is! I was very excited to wear it, but when my size in my original dress wasn't available at the last minute, I couldn't wear it because it clashed with my back up. The jewels are larger than I expected, but I think that's great for a statement piece. The one things I'll say about it is that it's heavy! Like I said, I didn't get a chance to wear it all night, but I wonder if I would have felt bogged down by it after wearing it for a few hours.

Great size, but will catch on clothing
I rented this bag in another color before so I knew I would love it's large size and inside credit card pockets, but the glittery covering of this clutch constantly caught on my dress all night. I kept having to hold it away from my body, which made it a nuisance to carry around. The color and sparkle on this is fun, but not worth it with its scratchy exterior. Definitely rent this clutch, just not in this style.

Nice cut, beautiful details
I ordered this for a wedding, but my size wasn't available at the last minute so I couldn't wear it. The picture is of me in the 12L. I could zip it up but it was very tight in the rib cage. I could have worn it but I chose my more comfortable fitting backup. You can't wear a normal bra with this because of the low back, but it wasn't a problem in the front. The dress was way puffier than I thought so keep that in mind if that's not your thing. I was worried about getting the long size bc I was going to be walking through the streets of NY and on a crowded dance floor and I didn't want it to drag, but for my 5'8" height I would have been ok wearing short heels. And it has pockets! I'll look into trying to rent this again in the future since I didn't get to wear it this time.

Show stopper! Looks like a painting!
Wow, did I love this dress! The colors are amazing and the way the skirt flows behind you when you walk makes it feel like you're wearing a cape. Which is appropriate because I felt like Superwomen in this dress! I got compliments all night. In terms of fit, I'm between a 12-14 depending on designer. This one I only got the 14, but even it was a little snug in the rib cage and bust. My boobs were a bit squashed but I really didn't care because of how great this dress is. I'm always amazed at people who say they didn't wear a bra with dresses, thinking I could never pull that off, but I did with this one! My thighs are on the thicker side so while the underskirt fit fine standing up, it would ride up when I sat down. I just threw the overskirt over my lap and modesty was achieved. Though if modesty is your goal, the neckline of this one may not be right for you. Overall a great dress! I try not to rent the same thing twice, but I would definitely rent this one again!

Large enough to hold gift envelopes
I used this on my wedding day and it was the perfect size to hold the card we got from relatives and friends. Be aware there's a zipper around the edges of this. Thankfully it never caught on my dress but I could see it easily happening.

Wore these for my wedding and I loved them!
I wore these earrings for my wedding and could not have been happier! I love the size and shape of these, and I couldn't find a similar design and color anywhere else. My wedding dress was a light peach and these went perfectly with it. Highly recommend these!

Tight in places, but great looking dress
Wore this to my bridal shower when my original choice wasn't available. I was glad they sent this one though as I did want to wear it, I was just nervous it would be to hot for my July shower. Luckily I was inside in the AC all day so it wasn't a problem. Like other reviewers said, its tight in the rib cage and my C/D cups were a little squished, but nothing terrible. I carry a lot of weight in my stomach and hips so I was a little bulgy there, but spanx helped. Overall I loved this dress and got lots of compliments.

Tight in rib cage and under arm
Ordered this for my bridal shower (size 12), but my back up size (14) wasn't available so I didn't end up wearing it. Like other reviewers mentioned, it's tight in the rib cage and you get a bit of arm bulge in the arm pit area. Sleeves are boxy, but I kind of liked that. A beautiful looking dress overall, maybe it would have been able to wear it if I got my back up size.

Show stopper!
Wore this for my bachelorette party in NYC and I received nothing by compliments, from our waitress, from our pole dancing instructor, to random people in the street. If you're looking to be the star of the show, do yourself a favor and rent this dress! I'm between a size 12 and 14 and I wore the size 10. Definitely order down. I'm between a C and D cup but I didn't feel squished in this at all. And I was able to wear a normal bra. It's a tad heavy, but breezy enough that I was able to wear it in July without to much problem. And the heavier fabric meant the skirt didn't blow up embarrassingly high if I was caught by a stray breeze.
