Unfortunately I was unable to attend my event but I still had to try this gorgeous dry on. Hopefully I'll have a chance to rent again :)

A stand out dress
I wore this dress for a formal event. It fit great. The color stood out beautifully at my event. The bust area concerned me because I was nervous it would appear very "poofy" in that region but once I had the proper undergarments on it wasn't a problem. I felt comfortable all evening in the dress. I would say that on close inspection the dress had several "pulls." This was definitely not noticeable to anyone but me. I paired this gown with gold strappy heels, teardrop gold earrings and a large gold and green bracelet. I wore my hair down and pinned on one side to show off the neckline.

Back up for a formal, did not wear
This dress is beautiful. It fit like a glove and flattered all the right places. I ended up deciding not to wear it because I felt it appeared boring in photos for the event I was attending. If you're looking for a more understated look this is perfect. It is basically stunning in person- the pictures really don't say enough.

Back up for graduation, did not wear.
This dress was very nice but appears it has been worn a lot. It didn't seem to lay the way it should. The under slip had obviously been repaired by RTR and the hems were not nice. The lace on the sleeves was thinned and worn. Overall the dress was still very pretty and I doubt anyone but me would have noticed. I would have been very happy in this dress for my event but decided to go with my original choice from RTR. Lovely dress for a wedding or similar affair. (Note that it is on the short side.)

Wore this to my graduation.
This dress was exactly how I expected it to be. I especially like the condition the dress came in. It seems to be a newer dress and seemed like it had never been worn. It laid so nicely. The fabric, hems, zippers, etc were pristine. I am between a size 2 and 4 and went with the size 2 in this dress. It was definitely a little constricting in the shoulders but otherwise loose and comfortable. I paired this with a skinny black belt, black peep toe pumps and oversized pearl studs.

Makes me love Milly even more :)
Super cute dress! This was a back up dress and the other seemed more fitting for the occasion (Valentine's Day) so I didn't end up wearing it. I definitely liked this dress a lot though! Although if I rented again I'd probably size up because it was very short. Could definitely be worn with black tights in the winter though. Cute dress. Definitely recommend.

My friends said I looked like a celebrity :)
So this was my back up dress and I decided to wear the other gown (Robert Rodriguez Mia Gown) which was a really tough decision because this dress was wonderful as well! Ultimately I didn't choose this dress because it was a bit flashy for the event I was attending. Anyway, the dress fit almost perfectly. The top was loose and a bit low (I'm not wearing a bra in the pictures) but that is my only complaint. I wish I had 2 events so I could have worn this dress too!! Loved it :)

I felt so glamorous :)
This dress was perfect! I am typically between a size 2 and 4 and chose to wear the 4 for this dress. The dress has a built in bodice that allowed for no bra to be worn. As a warning, the slight is quite high. I had to cover my lap with my napkin when sitting. I really loved wearing this dress and wish I owned it!! I had a tough time deciding which dress to wear- my back up was wonderful as well (Nicole Miller sequin purple tyrian gown). In the end I was happy with my choice because this dress looks sooo classy!!! My boyfriend couldn't stop complimenting me all night :)
