Good fitting dress for my pear shape
I loved this dress and was able to wear both the medium and the small. I wore the medium to work, and wore the small for Fourth of July and out to dinner to another location. I did not need to wear a bra. I am 5'5" and weigh 138. I did not find this dress to be as heavy as the other reviewer, I have worn much heavier maxi dresses. I would say it's more medium weight.

Perfectly sized!
The ring isn't adjustable, so I was pleasantly surprised when it fit my finger! I'd say it was a 6-6 1/2. Very comfy!

A tad heavy and large, but looked great with a sweater
I wish I had a picture! These are pretty large, so if you weren't thinking big earrings, you should. They are a little heavy -- you'll know you have them on for sure, but I was able to wear them all day. I wasn't sure I could pull them off but they look great with a chunky sweater!

Wool, warm core and airy sleeves
I took this with me to Barcelona. It was perfect because it kept my core warm but let the sleeves air out. It came with the lace torn a bit under one arm, but I did a quick sew and it stayed for a bit. It is a firm sweater, there's not a lot of give. It's cute, though.

Pretty, and flattering to the waist
Has open armpits, so when you lift your arms there aren't real sleeves. There are just elastic cuffs. Looked very good with a cropped black jacket. Wore many times, but still did not manage to get a picture!

Super sexy!
Rented this from the Las Vegas store for a night out. It was very low cut but I did not have any gaps! I thought I would but did not. I wasn't going to bend over to pick anything up to begin with, but you could move freely in this dress. Super fun!

They were a little heavier than I thought
I didn't realize they were clip on (not the fault of the earrings!) so they weren't as comfy as I wanted. They are pretty, but they're also a 2 1/2-3 inch drop, I was expecting a bit smaller. They're lovely, but they're not for me.

Perfect every day earrings
They match EVERYTHING. I wore them for months with my unlimited subscription, finally I sent them back to get something else. They aren't too heavy, are not too long, and make every outfit special.

Feels fabulous on.
This dress would be perfect if you were 5'6" and had a D chest. This is not me, sadly. I was able to manage the length, but I had to safety pin the dress at the top... my B's weren't cutting it. I think this dress would be perfect for a D Cup with a small waist, possibly even a DD. All said, I did love it, and I'm very happy I rented it.

It's a lovely accessory!
It's a little long for my finger, meaning I can't bend my knuckle all the way. It's not a dealbreaker as I have long fingers, but I could see someone with small hands having troubles.

Great over the shoulder bag.
It expands with all four pockets quite well. This was incredibly handy when I was on vacation in London -- it's classy, comfortable and the many pockets made it easy to use.

It's a large set of gold!
I thought you could take them apart, but they are bound together by a chain. It was tangled when I received it, took me a while to figure out how to untangle it. It's very pretty, but very large!

It's really more stunning than it looks
It's a little small on the wrist, so if your wrists are thick you might not want to rent this. I've rented it twice, it's very versatile.

Great sparkle!
Such a fun sparkle piece for a great price. I usually wear a bangle but it was nice to change it up. Not too heavy. It will snag on something like a giant, taffeta gown, however.

Really a special dress.
This sheath dress is very comfortable, very flattering. It's lavender lace over the orange sheath and it's just stunning. I have some junk in the trunk and a bit of a stomach and it fit nicely. If you normally waver between the 6 and the 8, the 6 will probably work for you. The lace wasn't too stiff or scratchy. It was one of the few dresses I've rented that I wanted to own!

Lovely, lovely, lovely
It's gorgeous. It's the perfect fancy day dress. In fact, I wore it to work when it became clear I was going to wear my other dress for the wedding the following day. My only issue with fit is that I've gained a bit of weight around my stomach and the dress would not quite fit perfectly around this area, it would ride up. The 8 was too big, the 6 too small. I don't think this is fault of the dress necessarily, if you're an athletic build it's going to work great for you.

Very unique dress
This dress is wool, which I didn't realize. Not that it made much of a difference, it's still really beautiful, but it could easily be a lovely fall party dress. It is very low cut, and you will need fashion tape. Tape solves gapping issue, but you'll need to feel comfortable showing a little side boob. I am, so that didn't bother me. What did bother me is how it fit around my waist. I have gained a little weight and I have a bit of stomach and unfortunately the waist part would not go any lower. This caused the top part to bulge out a bit. The fashion tape wouldn't let any exposure, but it was obvious when it was gapping. It was hard to sit up absolutely straight all night. I don't think an athletic build will have this issue.

So many complements!
This was my mystery bling. It was so lovely and unique I ended up wearing it for three days. The ring is not as heavy as you'd think for it's size. Inside the ring there are prongs that help size it. I received an amazing amount of complements, even one person who said she was thinking of ordering it for herself and she was glad she got to see it in person. I didn't realize there was a matching necklace. :)

Fits sooooo nicely.
I did not get a picture to which I'm very bummed. I was worried the "sheathiness" of it would not jibe with my pear shape. But it *did!* It fit very nicely around the junk in the trunk and is quite stretchy. It's lightweight, making it really good for outdoor evening weddings. It has a little sparkle to the yarn. I would rent this again in a millisecond if RTR didn't have so many other things to try.

It was a FABULOUS dress.
This dress was worth wearing -- it was stunning in every way. It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. It is very complementary in the back, I wish I had a good picture of that. It was, however, about 2 inches too long. I was in 4 inch heels and it wasn't enough. I am 5'4 1/2" and I should have gotten the petite.

Great modern, bold earrings.
These earrings I wore with the SACHIN + BABI Chic Happens dress. They are extremely light and they actually jingle a little -- the triangle is in two pieces, front and back. Lovely earrings, very modern.

Having a fabulous dress for my 10-year-anniversary party.
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this dress. It was light, easy to wear and modern. It's a complicated material without being a difficult dress. It's sort of a stiffer, light netting, so the dress really flares. It was by far my favorite dress to wear, and the only one in which I wanted to purchase it after wearing it. I did not wear a bra, obviously, the back was sheer and you can actually get away with it when you have the small B-cups I have. Other women may opt for the chicken cutlets that can stick to you.

Different!
It's from a fairly heavy fabric, and it's not the softest. But that's okay -- I was out in San Francisco weather without a coat! It gets foggy and chilly. I felt casual and sexy at the same time -- it's different!

It's lovely! It's more glass/metallic looking than the picture shows, and it's understated as a statement necklace, if that makes sense. It made me feel lovely and modern!

So comfy
Once I figured out the straps (ha) I wore this dress happily all night. It was a wedding weekend and I wore it the night before. I'm a little small on the top so it was a bit roomy, but the peplum hid that well. Someone else ended up wearing the short version the night of wedding -- popular!

Wearing this amazing dress was like a dream... it's so flowy and gave me an excuse to show off my back! Lots of complements.
Agree with everyone else who says get sizes way bigger than you normally wear. I got the 10 and the 12, and because I'm pear and my ribs normally wear a 6, I wore the 10. And it was TIGHT. And worth it. :) It's floaty, sexy and weightless. Loved it.
