Stunning and unique.
What a gorgeous piece. I wore this with the Raoul Scaling Time gown, as a dramatic addition that would drape down my back, accentuating the low cut of the dress. It looked amazing and I received a ton of compliments on my look. RTR is amazing and overnighted this necklace to me so that I would have it in time for my event. Loved this necklace and would totally rent again.

So many compliments! I stood out in a sea of black dresses.
The fit is gorgeous- I'm a bit bigger in the hips, thighs, and derrière region and this was a perfect fit. The top was a little bit loose and the shoulders slipped a bit, but I never was in danger of flashing anyone. The hanger straps were a big pain though and kept slipping out of the sleeves. The color is a rich jewel tone that was perfect for an early fall wedding, was totally black tie appropriate, and was sexy on top of that. Tasteful in the front with a more daring back, this dress is positively beautiful on. I paired it with cognac leather heels, and the Double Ingot Lariat necklace to drape down the back. I wore long earrings but only because that's what I had brought with me- I would have preferred bold studs. As usual, RTR's service was incredible- they rush shipped me this dress to replace a stocked-out item and threw in the necklace for free for the inconvenience. Love this service and cannot wait to rent again!

Perfect for the look I was going for- sort of a vintage vibe.
Loved these so much, I didn't want to return them. Not too heavy, perfect amount of swing. Not too flashy, but nothing to be ignored. I paired them with the BCBG Inevitable Beauty Gown, a diamond solitaire necklace, and Lulu Frost Silver Drift Cuff, and curled my hair in a retro wavy style. The art deco style of these earrings was perfect.

Such a gorgeous gown- nothing but compliments all night!
First of all, let me apologize for my awkward and poorly lit mirror selfies. Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business(not to defeat the Huns though... I really hope someone gets that reference). What a beautiful, beautiful gown. Much brighter than it looks in my picture, it's a pretty saturated, almost cobalt, blue. In a sea of navy and black, I stood out (in a good way!) and caught a few envious glances. I'm on the short side, 5'3", with a long torso and short legs. This was an incredibly flattering dress on me, and didn't bunch up above my hips like some do because of my proportions. The silhouette is slimming, and the neckline was very flattering on my slightly wider shoulders. The material has a tiny bit of give but holds you in well, but it also compresses your chest quite a bit (I'm a large B or a small C). Overall the 4R was definitely snug. I would have worn the 6R (I'm also a large 4 or a small 6, darn these in-between sizes), but it was about 3 inches too long, even with my 4 inch Calvin Klein heels. I was pretty uncomfortable sitting down, but if I had worn the 6, I highly doubt it would have been an issue. Despite all that, people were stopping me to tell me how much they loved the dress, especially the back. Conclusion: RENT. THIS. DRESS. Even if it's only to twirl around your bedroom in. I won't tell, promise.
