I was expecting something a little different when I rented this necklace. The beads were plastic and I was expecting a more substantial/heavier piece with more shine. Also, the necklace layout was confusing and I couldn't get it to look right.. On the plus side, the color is very nice. This would be a great necklace to bring some fun to a casual outfit.

I tried on 14 dresses at the store and it was a nightmare. This was my first big event since I had my son and I didn't realize how much my body had changed. Discourage, but determined, I logged onto RTR and found this beauty. The top is perfect; the sleeves hid the thickest part of my arms, the boat neck and fabric on top brought balance to the overall look and showed off my chest. The pull-in under the bust was just right--tight but not overly so. And the flare at the bottom comes not a moment too soon! My post-baby belly and thighs were nowhere insight; just pretty spring fabric. The cons are small and few. The top of the dress is a little baggy, so you might want to use fashion tape to keep things looking proper. Also, the fabric was maybe a tad stiffer than I'd like and it wrinkled easily. Overall, the perfect dress for a spring shower (even if you aren't struggling with your newly discovered body shape!)...

A little confusing to put on, but once it was on, I felt like a goddess. The colors were gorgeous, the fabric flowing, and the length just right. I got tons of compliments and the photographer even asked me to step outside so she could get some special shots of the dress.

This dress is very narrow in the hips. I am a pear shape and really had to squeeze to get in.. that said, once in, goodness! This dress, because it is so large on top, really balances out the bottom. No more pear-shape for me! But be forewarned--1) it is tight to get on the bottom (go over your head when you put it on), 2) you will need fashion tape because it is low-cut and quite revealing; if you are small in the chest, you may not want to wear this dress, 3) It is slight see through, so no polka dot undies! Even though the dress was a little challenge to get right, once it was right, it was very right. I got several compliments and turned more than a few heads.

From the picture, this dress looked like it would be striking, vibrant and fun. In person, and especially on me, it was another story. The color is much more dull--instead a spring flower, the color was more like a post-it. The top of the dress is very fitted and it took away my much needed curves which, in turn, made my middle and bottom appear larger than I like. I also didn't like the way the skirt hung diagonally due to the asymmetrical shoulders. Personally, I was glad I ordered two dresses, because I would have felt insecure in this one, when what I wanted to feel like was a knock-out. Bottom line (no pun intended), the dress is really very girly and pretty, but I wanted to feel sexy and sophisticated. It is the perfect dress for some one a bit younger, with a smaller chest, who has a more fun/playful night in mind.

Got so many compliments on this dress! It was sexy and sophisticated, which was just what I wanted. The dress is a little greener than it appears on my computer, but still a gorgeous,rich color. The sizing is perfect and it made my curves look great, while hiding my tummy. My first RTR experience was a big hit!

I got a ton of compliments on these earrings.. someone even asked if they could borrow them! They are beautiful. They were a bit heavier than I'm used to, but I don't usually wear big earrings like this. I would definitely rent them again and recommend them to anyone who is considering getting them.
