Birthday Celebration in SF!
I cannot believe I forgot to take a picture in this dress--so sorry that this might not be as helpful as those with pics, but I will say I loved this dress! The only issue I had was that it was really tight in the chest (36DD). I tried even without a bra and still pretty tight across the chest, but it fit great everywhere else. Would rent again, but probably try the next size up. Length was great, sleeves were perfect for San Francisco. Loved it!

Elegant yet trendy!
I got compliments from EVERYone on this dress! I was worried about too much cleavage showing for a wedding (I'm a 36D), but I wore a stick-on bra and it kept the ladies in check. The dress wasn't too short, as they can often be for a tall girl. The only tricky thing about this dress was the zipper. It wasn't that the dress was too tight to zip--it was just a really, really tough zipper. I could hardly zip it up even on the hanger. I wound up having to squeeze into it with the zipper already done up, which was quite a feat! Even with that issue, I would still rent this dress again. I LOVED it.

Wonderful wedding weekend!
This dress is absolutely stunning in person. I don't think I have ever received so many compliments. I loved the flow of the dress. I'm 5'9" and I ordered the "long," but unfortunately there was a mistake and they sent the regular. Believe them when they say you should order a size "long" if you are over 5'7". The regular looked ridiculous on me--even in flats. Thankfully, the Chicago store was able to overnight the size I'd originally ordered, so it all worked out. I will say it was a little snug in the rib cage, and I probably could have gone up a size, but I think the 8L looked fine. It is definitely a two-person job to get the zipper up in the back--not because of the size, but because of the elastic band. So find a couple of friends to help you out!

Post-wedding brunch!
I loved this dress and would absolutely rent it again. I received compliment after compliment all day long. I only wish I had more pictures taken in this dress. It did reveal a lot of cleavage, but I wore my hair down, and I felt more comfortable at a casual daytime event rather than at the wedding the night before. I seriously loved everything about this dress!

Wonderful wedding weekend!
I am in love with these earrings. I want to go out and buy them. They were lightweight and had just the right touch of elegance. I received compliments on them all night long!

An amazing wedding weekend!
The purse looked elegant, and I got a lot of compliments on it, but I found it didn't hold much at all, and it could be difficult to close the bag. Overall it was fine if you just need lipstick, mascara, and some cash/credit cards. I had to take my phone out of its case to get it to fit, so if you have a larger smart phone, this might not work for you.
