Red hot & ready to party
Fir like a glove and flatterinf AF. The fabric was unique, the style sexy but not slutty, and the whole ahebang worth its weight in vodka tonics. Will definifely rent again.

Ob.Sessed. Would purchase if it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
Perfect fit and excellent craftsmanship. Nicholas makes beautiful clothes, and this was no exception. I chose to leave the placket buttons undone and wrap the attached scarf pieces around my neck like a choker, tied in the back at the nape of my neck. Covered up enough for the office, but romantic and sexy after dark with a tiny skirt or suede shorts. 10 out of 10 would rent again.

Soft featherweight fabric makes this jumpsuit perfect for a summer night out!
This jumpsuit was perfect for my rehearsal dinner in June 2015. The tea-length cut, wide straps and demure floral print pleased my parents, while a cut-out at the sternum made the look just right for post-dinner drinks with wedding guests. Plus, the light crepey fabric breathed well in summer heat! One caveat: This piece wrinkles with just a touch so pack a steamer if traveling.

Forgiving cut and rich, summery shades make this dress a winner.
A forgiving trapeze cut, heavy but light fabric and rich blue shades made this dress a winner for a family barbecue on the Fourth of July. Would have preferred that the pattern was part of the knit rather than a print on top of fabric but otherwise this was a solid choice. Paired with a flat sandal and loose, wavy hair. And thanks to the waist-less silhouette, I could eat whatever I wanted!

The perfect dress for a wild bachelorette party!
Great fit around the shoulders, chest and hips. Puckered seams, uneven hems and itchy fabric make me question the quality of the dress. But for a crazy night out with the girls, it was the perfect look.

This a promiscuous dress...Wear with caution if you're usually modest!
Gorgeous navy and turquoise color palette couldn't make up for the dress's large sizing, which created bunching around the back waistband and zipper and caused the top to ride down throughout my evening. If you're petite and game for turning A LOT of heads, size down with the XS and go for it.

Cute versatile top for day or night!
Love how this top's shape updates the classic French-girl stripes--and how the thick, structured material makes it suitable for dressier events. I wore this for a night out in East Hampton with wide-leg black silk pants and felt perfectly pulled together yet also relaxed and effortless. Be aware, however, that the light stripes are more of an ivory than true white.

Cute top that dresses up casual looks
The stiff fabric kept this top's pleats sharp from day to night, and a slightly cropped cut looked equally chic with boyfriend jeans and a black leather A-line skirt. Loved the easy zip-up back and forgiving wide arm holes.

Perfect dress for Kentucky Derby day!
Gorgeous fabric with heavy weight that still feels light and airy. Hits at mid-calf--on the long side but not too formal with casual accessories. Fit true to size in waist but bust was very large and baggy. Wrapped sash around middle twice to fill it out a bit.

Lace insets make this all-occasion romper extra special.
Runs a bit big and wide in the waist. Did no favors to my backside -- if your booty is not well-endowed (as mine is not), size down or (if you plan on purchasing), have a seamstress take in the sides so it hugs the bum better. Armholes not too tight, as is often the case with XS cuts. Classic BCBG style.

Gorgeous aqua shade & immaculate lace construction. Runs large. If you have a small bust, size down.
Super comfortable, easy zip-up back. Holds its A-line shape perfectly -- skirt doesn't droop or feel stiff. Skirt lining makes a fun swish when you move -- a glam detail for parties! I wore this to work and a luncheon with a cream blazer and cream suede sandals. Would be great for a bridal shower or Derby party.

Rented for a black-tie ball but saved for a later, less formal occasion. The green is gorgeous!
This flowing gown is perfect for a beach wedding or tropical getaway, but for my formal affair, it was much too informal. Saving it for my next vacation! On taller girls who wear high heels, the hem will hit at mid-calf so not truly full-length. Really stands out with powerful gold accessories like a cuff and drop earrings.

Black-tie Christmas ball and after-party. I felt so chic and exotic in Grecian gold!
The flow and drape of this gown is gorgeous. True to size, very long (I'm 6'2" in heels),
