Lovely sparklers but heavy
As others have noted, these are pretty large and heavy earrings, but luckily they come with a large backing as you see in my photo. I wore these sparkly beauties for formal event paired with a sparkly dress for 7+ hours. The weight didn't hurt my ear lobes, but I did have one fall out while dancing. Thank goodness I was able to find it and the backing! Next wearer be wary of ensuring they're on very snug if you're anticipating dancing!

Fun print, comfy
I didn't end up wearing this dress for my evening event, but I closely considered it because of how comfortable it is. PROS: The zebra print is a fun touch plus will hide any bumps or pooch, the length of both the midi outer layer and mini lining layer are ideal for petites, straps are adjustable, cowl neck fabric wasn't too fussy or low CONS: No stretch so the lining was snug on my hips, shape doesn't do anything for my rectangle/pear body type

Liked it!
PROS: Loved the gradient colors of the sequins + sparkle, dress was well made with lining, very comfortable for sitting and dancing all night in, sequins were all intact/don't catch on things, not too scratchy under the arms. CONS: Dress is thick/heavy for warm weather, had to be mindful that the slit placement is a little too centered, zipper was sturdy but tough to get past the seam, lining around the slit is starting to sag. I'm a Rectangle/Pear body shape, usually between a XS/S so I did size up to a Small so that it wouldn't be tight based on reviews. I should've worn shapewear as it showed my pooch instead of smoothing it over (as seen in the 2nd photo)

Stunning piece but required holding and pinning
I wore this for an outdoor wedding in Hawaii. Loved the color, how it looked on, and the way it flowed with movement plus the fabric was thin enough in the heat. I'm 5'4" and usually a XS or 2, and the 2R was skimming the ground for me in 4" heels. The skirt has a LOT of material so I had to hold up a handful of it while dancing and walking on stairs or grass. As other reviews mention, the neckline is very low and a bit baggy so it definitely required strategic pinning. I received lots of compliments and appreciated that the dress is forgiving while overindulging at reception the buffet. I can imagine this dress being a versatile piece for many occasions, but probably wouldn't rent it again due to it being a bit of a hassle.

Fun earrings for the holidays
As with many Kate Spade accessories, these earrings are a fun, eye-catching addition to an outfit. They are lightweight (mostly made of sequins) so the way they swing with movement is not too distracting to wear. This isnt the type of thing I'd ever spend nearly $100 to buy, but are a perfect example of an item that makes getting RtR Unlimited during the holidays more worth it!

Cute but scratchy
I picked this out for work and soon regretted it as I was itching/adjusting all day. I really liked the speckled color and off the shoulder look, but it wasn't worth being a bit uncomfortable for. And as another reviewer mentioned, it doesn't quite hang straight like it does on the model but rather bags a little then tapers at the hem.

Something fun for my company holiday party and was happy to find this flattering dress
I'm usually a size XS or a 2, and the XS size fit me just fine. I loved how comfortable the dress was, allowing for eating and dancing all night. I'm 5'4", and the dress fits much longer than on the model. With the hem being asymmetrical, the longer side hit just below my knees and the shorter side was just above them. The thick fabric doesn't have much stretch, but the flared skirt and open shoulders give lots of flexibility for different body types. The only downside was the dress is definitely made for larger busted women; the darts on chest area are somewhat cone-shaped and I had to double bra to better fill out the space. I paired this with my own belt and blingy earrings for additional sparkle. I would definitely consider renting it again.
