Fun and flirty
This is a very fun and young dress! I wore this to my friend's bachelorette party for a night out on the town. I'd say this dress is true to size for a non-stretch fit. I'm a size 2 if there is stretch. But since there is no stretch whatsoever to this dress, I wore the size 4 to allow room when sitting (mainly breathing, for my larger rib cage). But waist and hips were loose for in this dress. My waist is 26 inches and my hips is 34 inches. I'm rather short, so the length hit my knees. Fabric is nice and comfortable but nothing to write home about. There was plenty of shedding, so no surprise there, lol. The cut of the arms and neck line is very flattering for those of us with broader shoulders. Got several compliments on the dress. But since this was not my style (I'm more of an edgy minimalist), I wasn't completely comfortable in it. But this is just a personal preference. If you're style leans toward the fun, flirty and trendy, you will love this dress!
Take Flight Dress

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 120lbs
Bust: 34B
Simply elegant
The opening of this bangle is rather small. I've got a 6 inch wrist and could just squeeze into this with almost no problem. So I could see how this would be issue for those with larger wrists. I love the design of this, but what I didn't like was that it kept swiveling around my wrist and dug into me, giving me a very nice bruise :(
Gold Textured Cut Out Cuff

Casual and dressy at the same time
Amazing clutch with a very unique design. Rented for a wedding, and this surprisingly held a lot more than I expected! I could fit my iPhone 5S (with case on), car key with fob, lipstick bullet, short lipstick pencil, and slim coin purse. I've got small hands (x-small size gloves) and could comfortably hold this in my hand. There is a chain attached but I didn't use it. Definitely would rent again!

Amazing and flattering dress
The material is thick with some stretch. I'm normally a size 2, but the 4R fit me perfectly. Hit me a little past my calves, so I should've tape hemmed the length about 3 inches for a better look (but I didn't). Received compliments from many people. The slit wasn't too aggressive for my height, and the cut out was placed at the smallest part of the waist; very figure flattering, and tasteful. Rent rent rent!

Small yet so elegant
This bracelet runs a bit small. My wrist measures 6 inches in circumference, and this fit me perfectly! Comfortable to wear, did not swivel around my wrist too much so I didn't have to readjust it. The thin design and bling makes this bangle very classy without screaming for attention. Definitely adds elegance to any ensemble. I'd love to have this in my jewelry box!

Caution: causes stuttering, staring problems, and loss of speech
Gorgeous dress, gorgeous red shade! I'm about 5'2", at 118 lbs, 34B-26-34. I normally wear a 2, but the 4R fit me perfectly and was very flattering! With 4 inch heels, I still had to tape the hem up about 3 inches. Wore this to a formal party. At the risk of sounding narcissistic (which is not my intention), people's jaws dropped, breaths were taken away, and loss of speech and stuttering ensued. Countless compliments were given, with and without words. The amazing red shade, and the cut-out and slit are great accessories to an otherwise simple silhouette. Pair with demure earrings and bracelet to avoid overdressing this sleek number. A strapless bra, or crossing the straps could be worn with this dress. I opted for an adhesive bra for a seamless look. There is good weight and amount of stretch to the fabric. Size up as your back up to avoid spillage at the side cut-out! Rent this dress asap!

Very ordinary
This is an ok clutch. About 5 inches in height, and extra long in length, this number holds a lot more than expected! Definitely very functional. But there is nothing to write home about when it comes to the design.

Classy yet edgy design, subtle bling
Love these earrings! They seem a bit long, but when worn, they do not scream for attention. About 2 inches long and rather slim, they quietly add charm to your ensemble. The bling is there but very subtle; so this is not a statement piece if you're wanting one. Very versatile, you can dress up or down with these earrings.

Beautiful clutch!
This clutch is very luxurious looking! It looks small but can hold a bit more if you place your items strategically. It held my iPhone 5s (sans the case), a lipstick bullet, a single car key with fob, and a very thin coin purse. Definitely tight, but I had to place the items just so in order to close the clutch.
Birdcage Clutch
Whiting & Davis
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 118lbs
Bust: 34B
Great design, okay design
This was my back-up, which I did not wear. The material is great with an enormous amount of stretch! The small fit me perfectly, but not snugly. I'm thinking an x-small would've created an hourglass figure on me, as was intended with the golden designs on the dress. So order your size, and then size DOWN for your back up. For reference, I'm 118-120 lbs, and about 5'2". Due to my height, the dress hit a little past mid thigh. Not crazy about the dress, but definitely don't hate it either; just not for me.

Oh so modernly mod!
This mini emanates such a vintage yet modern vibe! Late 60s, early 70s come to mind. But the crisp black and white colors keeps the style updated. The material looks thin, but actually has great weight to it; really good quality. Even the gold buttons feel durable and luxurious! Fit is true to size. I am 5'1" and 3/4" (round up to 5'2") at 118-120 lbs, bra size 34B. And the size 2 was perfect! However, even at my short height, the length of the dress was a bit short. I'd say it went about 4 inches below my cheeks, so it definitely rose high when I would bend or sit. Taller gals beware! It is a bit snug in the chest for me, even at 34B. Well-endowed ladies might want to size up. A regular bra would've worked with this dress, but I opted for an adhesive bra for a seamless look. Definitely recommend nude panties as the white part can become see-through in certain lighting. Overall, love the style, colors and materials!

Charming and delicate, with subtle bling
I love this bracelet. It is very understated at first glance, but has its charms upon closer inspection. My wrists measure 5 1/2 in in circumference and the opening of the cuff was just perfect for my to slip my wrist through. So I would say this cuff runs rather small. But for ladies with small wrists, this is the go-to cuff!
Skinny Railroad Spike Cuff
Giles & Brother
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 120lbs
Bust: 34B
Beautiful design with subtle bling
This is a gorgeous necklace...that I DID NOT WEAR! But only because I felt this this made my outfit look too formal for my occasion. However, this can also be worn with just jeans and tee to give your ensemble an edgy vibe. So this is definitely a very versatile piece that can traverse both the formal and casual worlds. But with my chosen outfit, it became too formal due to the bling, which was very subtle yet noticeable. Despite all this, I still believe a 5 star review is warranted, and I would rent this again for an appropriate occasion.
Encrusted Dripping Bib Necklace
Alexis Bittar
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 120lbs
Bust: 34B
Simple, classy, yet edgy and sexy
The clean lines of this jumpsuit gives it such a sophisticated silhouette. Yet the sharp edges of the plunging neckline in the bust is what makes it so tastefully sexy! I am 5'1" and 3/4 (so I round up) with a longer torso (so shorter inseam) at 120 lbs. The 4R fit me snugly yet comfortably. However, if you've got a bigger rib cage, I would recommend sizing up as a back-up as some reviewers have said that the boning in the built-in corset can get uncomfortable. I'm a 34B, and the bra was just perfect. So gals who are more endowed might want to invest in some adhesive bra-cups, just in case. Because of my shorter inseam, I had to temporarily hem the bottom up about 2 inches. Wish they had this in petite! But this piece is highly recommended!
