Terrific earrings; wonderful accent piece!
Not as heavy as they look from the photo, comfortable to wear.

Beautiful color, and form-fitting dress.
As the other reviews mention, this is a SHORT dress. At best, it was mid-thigh in length. I'm not tall, but was unable to raise my arms without the dress rising up to unacceptable heights. That said, it was a very pretty dress, and worked well for a cocktail party, as long as I remembered not to reach up to hug people, and was careful when I wanted to sit down!

Super cute dress
Not quite as vivid as in the photo, but still bright and sparkly. I wore to an August wedding in Napa, and it was just right. It fit true to size, but was loose enough that you could wear a normal bra and not need to deal with spanx or similar. Thin fabric, I think the dress would work for spring-fall, but not during the winter.

Definitely designed for taller women.
Really pretty dress, but the other reviews were correct that it hit at an awkward place on the legs (maybe two inches below the knee) and just looked incredibly frumpy (I'm 5'4"). My desired size was out of stock, and I ordered a larger size, but it was also just too big everywhere. Maybe order slightly up from your normal size, but not a full size larger? In any event, it was moot, due to the hem length.

Pretty bangles!
Pretty bangles, definitely too many for me to wear together, but a nice mix/match assortment. Unfortunately, the earrings I rented to go with the bracelets did not arrive in the shipment, and I didn't have any other jewelry that would work with me on the road, so was unable to wear the bracelets. A totally wasted rental, so I was quite disappointed. =( Lesson learned: don't rely on the RTR jewelry, take a back-up! They would have been very pretty and fun, though.

Great dress!
I wore this for a cocktail work event. The dress fit very well and was appropriate, though it is VERY low cut. Incredibly comfortable. Lots of compliments, I would rent it again!

Stunning dress; better for skinny figure?
The petite dress was too short to wear with heels, so I did not use it. It was a very pretty dress, and incredibly comfortable to try on. However, the fit combined with the sequins was not terribly flattering for those of us who are carrying around excess baby weight. (Which is not the fault of the dress, which was very pretty!) If ordering again, I would order the regular, rather than the petite.

Pretty dress, fit well!
This was my first RTR experience, and overall, I was very pleased. The dresses arrived when requested, and the return shipping was easy. The length on this dress was perfect with a 3 1/2" heel. Size fit perfectly. The dress was very clingy (in front and back) until mid-thigh, which made me feel a bit like a mermaid, but it worked with a curvy shape and was fun for a rental. The only negative comment is that the dress had been repaired (poorly), which surprised me. It was a dark dress, so I decided to roll with it, but it diminished the experience a smidge.

Surprisingly pretty necklace!
It does not hang in a "v" shape (as shown in some photos), but rather in a circle. It fell to the top of my collarbone. Many compliments on the necklace!
