Chic but small accessory that pairs well
Small-sized accessory received as part of mystery bling. I used it as a handheld clutch, but it did come with a gold chain strap if you'd rather carry it as a purse. Clasp felt a little insecure when opening/closing, which was another reason why I opted to use as a clutch instead of a purse. Size was just large enough to fit my cell phone, credit cards/ID, cash, and a lipstick, but it ended up being easier to carry my phone in the pockets of my black RTR dress. Black and gold colors pair well with most outfit colors. Simple geometric shape/design is funky enough but not distracting.

Gorgeous, fun print, but no give in torso
Wore this strapless dress to the opera with nu-bra. Paired with multi-layer necklace (as accessory), black/brown wedges, and a silver cropped 3/4 sleeve length cardigan. Fit: No give in the torso, so I ended up sizing up to an 8. Still needed help zipping up the dress. As expected of strapless dresses, it high the tight top to keep it up, but the inside lining was a bit itchy to my sensitive skin so definitely was appreciative of the nu-bra. Length hit me just at my knees, so with wedges it felt like a good length right above the knees. Pros: Gorgeous and fun print. Colors were surprisingly not too crazy or bright to not be evening event appropriate. Cons: No give in the torso area, so sizing is key. Print is not symmetrical throughout, so you'll notice that there is one section that has more light blue than pink. Not an issue for me, but FYI for others who want a more consistent print throughout. Overall, liked it enough for the night, but probably won't rent again. On to the next dress.

Modern flower print with puffy skirt and pockets
Dress was not worn because I only got one size of this in my order. Size 4 on me was just a little tight on my torso/chest/back. If I had gotten my asked for size 6, I think it would have been a perfect fit on the torso. Skirt is a full tulip shaped skirt, so if that's not a style that is flattering for you, I wouldn't recommend. The pockets are convenient. The flower print is modern but still subtle for a formal event; I had planned to wear it to the symphony. I wish I had gotten a chance to wear the dress, and I will have to save it for next time.

Classy dress with flair and sass for a night at the opera
Fit was a bit snug for me in the torso area. I probably could have gone a size up to accommodate my minor scoliosis, but size 6 wasn't available at the time. Everything else regarding fit was great. Length worked well for me (past the knee, about a third way down on calf), especially with heels. Pros: Color was true black and red, so it's a versatile choice. A lot of flair and flounce, and it starts higher than expected making you look taller. Texture was fun with the print and the semi-sheer polka dot part on top. Cons: There is no built in bra, and the dress doesn't work with a strapless bra either because the semi-sheer part on top dips low in the back. I used a NuBra type for the first time. Since the fit was snug on me, it wasn't an issue, but I can see that part might be an issue for some if the fit is too loose. I really enjoyed the dress, especially the color and style. Overall, it was classy, feminine, and flirty.

Comfortable and sexy
Fit: Size is true size (which was fortunate for me since they only had a small available). Stretchy fabric made it forgiving on the body. Back cutout does not allow for any bra straps, but fabric is thick enough to go without a bra. Pros: Thick, stretchy comfortable fabric. True size. Hot and sexy color with a fun geometric print. Cons: Dress does ride up a bit with use. Tips: I wore it with black tights because it was a cold evening and because I noticed when I tried it on that it did seem to ride up a bit. My event was a semi-formal banquet, so I paired the dress with a black boyfriend blazer with my sleeves partially rolled up. It paired well to keep me warm and to make me feel less self-conscious about the back (which was my little secret).

Vibrant color, stylish cut, but sizing struggles
FIT: Size 4 fit better in terms of shoulders and back (lace bit), but ended up wearing size 6 because I could see some underwear lines with size 4. Probably could have made it work if I had dress/skirt slip on hand. Although the material had some stretch, size 4 made me self-conscious about stomach/waist area as well. Problem was the shoulder straps kept falling down on me with size 6. Lace back also went a tad low, so I could see my bra strap. Ended up wearing a black cropped blazer to solve those two problems. PROS: Loved the color though; perfect for banquet that I attended over Valentine's Day weekend. Vibrant, bright red color was fun; not something I usually choose. CONS; Shoulder straps (double-sided fabric tape might have done the trick). Length was a bit long for me, slightly past my knees, which didn't look bad but didn't look awesome on my 5'3" height.

Beautiful dark teal color with lace overlay for feminine touch
FIT: Dress did not allow for a lot of stretch so picking the right size is key. In terms of the waist and skirt, I could have gotten away with a size 4, but the arms felt more comfortable with size 6. Even with a size 6, the arms weren't excessively loose. PROS: Dark teal is a beautiful color, appropriate for the evening graduation banquet that I attended. Although the lace made the fit so-so for me, I still liked it for its feminine touch. CONS: I expect a bit more flounce because of the model photo. I would say the skirt sort of fits more rather than flaring out in an A-line shape. Lace also doesn't allow for give in the size.

Sparkly and fun
Wore this dress for a girls' night out. Dress was sparkly and fun, with its range of sequin colors. Black/navy blue base with gold, rose gold, and copper sequins made it easy to accessorize with the dress. Size 4 fit like a glove, but it felt short whenever I had to crouch down or sit. Thus, I opted to wear size 6. I had a bit of wiggle room around the waist that way and a bit more length that way. Since it is cold in November, I wore it with black tights, but it is possible to go without if the length works for you.

Didn't fit. Not enough time to exchange sizes.
I ordered my normal size (4) and size up (6) based on the reviews about the torso area running small. There is definitely no leeway in the torso. I wish I had ordered 6 and 8, which I had considered, because of the couple of reviews saying that it was true to size. If you're slim through the torso, going one size might be adequate. If a bit curvy, then one might have to go 2 sizes up. The dress is beautiful though. I was looking so forward to wearing it.

Look twice kind of dress but classy all the way
Fit: I wore the 4R without a bra. I think I might have preferred the 6R, so that I could have more breathing room. However, I hadn't gotten that as my second size, so I won't ever know. I'm 5'4", so it was long on me and did drag even with 3" heels. I had to hold up the skirt when I was walking up and down stairs, so that I didn't trip. Style: It was stunning. The dress makes your waist look smaller and your legs look longer. Event: annual banquet/formal; mix of short and long dresses. Accessories: I wore a simple, black and silver necklace, that was pretty short in length. I didn't want it to compete with the dress' sweetheart neckline. Comments: Everyone complimented me the entire night. They especially loved the color, very vibrant but still classy. The chiffon made it seem light and flowy. I am so glad that I chose to rent this dress.

Size determines flow
For dresses, I usually wear a size 2, but the DVF in size 2 was a bit tight around the bust for me. Not to mention, it was more fit all the way around, and I lost the flow-like quality of the dress. To get a better drape and to get some length, I wore the size 4. I got lot of compliments throughout the night; my friends compared me to a Roman goddess (think upscale toga).
