Too clubby for a wedding unfortch...
An emerald green dress was requested for the wedding party got a Spring wedding in Topanga Canyon... alas. The wrongful color was on me, I knew it wasn't emerald buuuuut I didn't expect it to be THIS lime'y. I live for a mini dress but I was ultimately unable to wear this because it was just too clubby for a wedding. No room to move/dance. Too short and stiff. The bedazzles were really scratchy. Didn't photograph well. But would have been fun for Vegas.

Nothing spectacular but lovely Fall/Winter frock...
I wore this for a dinner/theater night out in LA for hubs bday. It was...okaaaaaay. There was no waist situation so it just kinda hung there... would have preferred it to either cinch (perhaps some boning) or flare out. It felt flat to me. But the cut out and color were cute - especially for the Fall/Winter months. I paired it with black studded heels and a leather jacket to add a little oomph to a kind of lackluster dress.

Gorgeous color but I felt like a sausage!
.... which may have more to do with my quarantine weight than the actual dress haha I squeezed into an 8 when I normally wear a 6. Again, could be me releasing my quarantine 15 into the world for the first time after over a year. The color was GORGEOUS, compliments all night. Perfect for a low key, outdoor California wedding amongst the wild flowers. Added a turquoise necklace because I'm a desert mermaid and wore a salmon/stuffed cropped jacket to hide my body sloshing over the side cut outs.

The most comfy dance floor stunner EVAAAAHH!
I'm buying this dress one thousand percent. I wore it with heels and a vintage bag to a wedding (SoCal in the Fall so floral was still the vibe) but can see myself trotting around an European vacation with a shawl draped over my shoulders and woven bag or as a bikini cover up with a floppy hat during a beach trip! So versatile! No bra needed. Could eat and drink all I wanted and tummy was hidden. Flounced and flowed all over the dance floor. Looked cute with a pink half jacket (with gold shoulder studs) when it got a little chilly at night. Compliments all night and my hubby's favorite RTR so far!

Simple with great lines, perfect for wedding party...
This was a gamble! I trusted RTR with my Maid of Honor dress for my best friend's wedding this August at a private estate in Malibu, CA! She requested we wear wine colored, flowy silhouettes, with floral or texture... open to interpretation but pretty specific. I went to 6 stores and ordered 4 dresses online and nothing worked! I really wanted to turn it out for her wedding but didn't want to over shadow with something too dramatic. I loved the high neck but felt the length was a little odd (looked fine with heels but I was barefoot for the grass ceremony and it was a little too long).... I wished the flowers popped more but it was overall a solid choice. I ended up belting it with a turquoise and silver belt because my vibe is more bohemian and the Bride wanted us to show case our personalities. The piping along the rib cage did not stand up on its own, which was kind of odd. So it sort of kept the shape but was pretty useless. I have smaller, perky boobs so it was fine for me but a bigger bust may have needed more sturdiness.

So fun - perfect boomerang dress ;)
Wore this in Palm Springs for my best friend's Bachelorette party!!!! The theme was Garden Party Realness and it was perfect! Fit well and was structured and polished yet still breathable. The colors were vibrant and perfect for the desert vibe. The shorter part showed off that pool side tan, while the longer part in the back was perfect for twirling into the breeze! I wore it with daisies in my hair and flats but it would also look great with heels or booties. I would love to rent again for a beach vacay!

Perfect for an outdoor, Spring wedding!
Fun and festive for a lovely wedding in wine country! It did make me a little bustier than I normally am... which was a big hit haha It was comfy enough to eat, drink, and dance in but structured enough to look polished. I wore it with tan heels and a light pink jacket but it would also look good with a pop of color heel, bootie, or sandal. Would love to rent again for a beach vacation!

BACHstreet Boys in Vegas - perfect!
I wanted a little sparkle for my besties bachelor party in Las Vegas... I also needed some breathing room as it was a loooooong day of eating, drinking, and dancing! This little glitter shift dress was perfect! I wore it with knee high boots and a studded leather jacket but it would also look awesome with heels, booties, or even grunge it up with combat boots. Loved the high neck and a reason to wear my hair in a top knot! Might rent again for NYE or a 70's themed soirée!

Brother's Rehearsal Dinner in the Rocky Mountains!
I don't have a great photo of the dress but the fit was easy to wear for a food and wine filled rehearsal dinner! I wore the 8 when I'm usually a 6 because I didn't want the little straps in the back to cause back fat and the dinner was all pasta and wine :) I paired it with yellow earrings and a multi-colored (yellow, green, shades a of blue) scarf, navy velvet booties, and baby pink pea coat for the perfect Winter Wonderland Wedding look! Even the sever at our dinner table stopped conversation to compliment me! I would rent this on every color (although the cobalt Blue was so pretty!)!

Fun dress! Complimented all night!
Wore this to my brother-in-law's wedding in Beavercreek, CO and absolutely loved it!!! The occasion was "Rocky Mountain Formal," which I'm not sure this qualified as but everyone loved it nonetheless :) I wore a maroon scarf, navy velvet booties, and cream collared military style/buckled with wooden claws coat with it but luckily the sun shone down on the ceremony and I was able to flaunt the dress most of the evening! I thought the sleeves might be annoying as I couldn't lift my arms all the way up... but it was fine and I could dance all night (looks good with them tucked in as well, if you need upward arm mobility, but I looooved the sheer sleeve so i kept them down).... wish I owned this one!!!

Dance floor fun and pop of color for a CA wedding!
As you can see from the pic, I looked really box'y in this dress :( However, the movement on the dance floor was super fun and the color was magical! I dressed it up a little with bright earrings as well, cause it was a tad plain for my taste. I should have ordered the size 4 but I didn't see any reviews that it ran small and I wanted to be able to eat haha I think I just need to learn to pose better haha Lots it compliments and very comfortable for a long night of drinking and dancing!

A little long but super chic and perfect for a Rehearsal Dinner!!!
I got this as a $30 second dr as add on (LOVE that deal btw) and loved it! I was glad I wore it to the Rehearsal Dinner (my cousins wedding in CA) instead of the wedding because someone else wore it to the actual wedding - RTR; you're so popular! I'm pretty y'all (5'8) and it was a little long for my personal taste but went well with heels and an off the shoulder jacket, for a winter chic look! My sis in law has a very different body type than I do (short, thinner up top, bangin' ass) and it looked ridiculous on her - so I'd keep this for the taller ladies!

Way smaller than I thought - but still cute!
I wanted to make a major statement with these earrings and when I opened the box, I was very underwhelmed. That's probably my fault for not looking at the measurements (if the reviews had any) but I was a little disappointed nonetheless. However, everyone else thought they were a great addition to the dress and any bigger would have been gaudy. I think I'm a very gaudy person then cause I wanted them to POP!

POP of color and perfect wedding guest dress!!!
This dress was a maje hit for a West Coast gal at a proper New England wedding! Usually a true 6, I wanted to wear the 8 for ability to feast and bloat reasons but the boob area was ill fitted that way. I wore the 6 and it fit like a glove BUT pinched under my arm half way through the night (however, it WAS a looooong night and the wine helped ease the pain haha). I wouldn't own this dress since it's really only something you're photographed in once but it as PERFECT for the occasion and I felt like a frolicking peacock!

Pardon my slouch, SUPER fun wedding dress!!!
I didn't get a better pic unfortunately but this dress was super shiny and dazzling and perfect for a fun; outdoor, California wedding! The cut-out wasn't too revealing or offensive and the swingy skirt part was awesome on the dance floor! Perfect combo of class and rock'n'roll \m/ \m/

Ballerina!!!
This was the perfect wedding guest dress for my cousin's outdoor affair! Lots of compliments! The ballerina skirt was so fun to dance in and hid all the dessert I ate ;) The top was intricate and detailed so I wore my hair to one side as to not distract too much. Black and gold strappy heels tied in the skinny gold studded black belt I added to make it look like separates.

A little boxy but great for dancing!!!
This was the perfect dress for a black tie wedding at The Biltmore! The flowy back piece was the best accessory for dancing and the short front was super cute! I usually wear a 6 but it was tight in the arm pit and I didn't want sweat marks so I went with the 8, which felt a little big...

Super cute for a Vegas wedding!!!
I had to wear the size 8 b/c the 6 had a rip in the transparent mesh lining over the décolletage... if I had more time, I could have gone to the RTR store in Las Vegas and rented a different dress - customer service was awesome about that! I did the online chat so it was simple and easy and I didn't have to wait on the phone forever. Unfortunately, we pressed our much with time and I had to just wear the bigger dress - I don't think anyone else but me noticed it was a tad too big so it was all good. Great pop of color (this is the only pic I ended up with all night haha sorry it's blurry and inside a seashell) but I received lots of compliments and it was super fun to dance the night away!

Perfect dress for a Fall Wedding in the Canyon!
This dress was perfect for a blissful Fall day in Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles! It ran a bit small (or perhaps I've put on a few ha!) so I wore the 8 instead of the 6, which fit very well. It was short on one side but the asymmetry of the other side class'd it up a bit and allowed for lots of movement on the dance floor! The sheer top portion of the dress was super unique and added a fun element of flare! The dress is definitely magenta; although, in certain filters/lights it looks red.

I could have used them a little bigger (haha) but they were as sparkly as they were in the photo and paired so elegantly with the dress! Added just the right amount of flare!

Perfect Summer Wedding Dress!!!
Medium was a little tight on my boobs and side arms (but I had been drinking beer all day haha) so I went with the Large (Size 8 instead of 6) as to not feel like a sausage link...and it didn't look quite as fitted but was pretty and flowy and I got compliments all night! Rented emerald earrings as well that went perfectly, paired with a tan sling back open toed stiletto and was the bell of the ball (aside from the bride of course) ;)

Stress-free Sparkle!!!!
I rented this dress for a friends fancy shmancy wedding in Old Saybrook, CT. Who wants to be photographed in the same outfit twice?! My fiancé and I were super late to the wedding and this was not the bride to be messed with so instead of getting ready, I hopped in the uber a hot mess. I hadn't even tried on the dress prior to 30min before the ceremony and had NO backup! And wa-la! It fit perfectly! Made me feel gussied up even when I didn't have a chance to do my hair and makeup! Was a huge hit! I'm anywhere from a 4 to an 8, so I got the 6 and 8 and the 6 fit perfectly! Beautiful open back, not too tight on my gut, long enough to be classy but short enough to dance! It was my first experience with Rent the Runway and I will absolutely use them again....6 more weddings this year before my own!

The perfect addition to my dress...
The earring rental was an after thought when I was checking out with the dress....and they ended up being a BIG hit! I was strapped for time and stressed out that I couldn't do my hair or makeup (we were late, wah) but the little dash of sparkle really helped me feel gussied up!
