a very grown-up princess look
I looked and felt like a million bucks in this dress. I also rented the Gorjana Accessories Mika Lariat Set, which set off the low, low neckline very well, and the Alexis Bittar Crystal Encrusted Spike Earrings, which matched nicely without being overstated. I added low-heeled lavender-and-silver pumps, colorful smoky eye makeup, and taupe/nude lips. The fabric is really gorgeous, hard to photograph in a way that shows off its rich beauty. It was comfortable to wear, though putting it and taking it off required assistance (there's a zip for the upper back and then another one for the skirt to accommodate the open back). The generously-sized pockets mean you don't need a clutch, which was perfect for drinking and dancing. Warning: You will ~not~ be able to wear any kind of bra with it. The open back and low-dipping V neck mean that anything between your breasts or on your back will show. Because my breasts are not small or perky, I ended up using sticky bra cups to protect my nipples, then taping my breasts up to my shoulders using gaffer tape so that I had good lift (there are tutorials online for how to do this).

perfect to complement a low-V dress
My dress for the event was formal and very low in the neck. This necklace was perfect for accenting my cleavage in a pretty way. It definitely drew the eyes to my decollete so be ready for Looks if you do something similar. I certainly looked and felt attention-catching.

sparkly yet understated
The earrings are shiny and elaborate and very pretty, but didn't overwhelm the rest of my look. I really loved them. They were comfortable -- not even close to as heavy as they look.

lovely piece
I got this to go with the gown I was wearing. It was a bit too much for the look. However, it was incredibly beautiful. I think it would go best with a look that was otherwise simple.

less shiny and formal than expected
The photography is a little deceptive. The silver on this is more dull than bright, as are the stones, giving it a vintage 70's feel. They would be great for a concert or festival but not anything formal.

cute but odd
It's really abstract sort of dress. It looks cool but isn't necessarily that flattering on me. I think it simply might not suit my body shape (wider hips and bigger waist). Absolutely no give in the material and runs very true to size, maybe even a bit small. If you don't want the waistline detail to flop in a strange way rather than stand up like it does in the picture, size up, especially if you are plus size.

gorgeous and elegant
This was one of three choices I selected via Unlimited for an upcoming event. It came to me brand-new with tags. The fabric is breathtakingly gorgeous and intricate, and it has pockets to boot. It's the kind of versatile fancy dress that could handle a ton of sparkling jewelry and accessories or you could go simple with the accompaniments and let the dress speak for itself. While it was classy, elegant and beautiful, it ran pretty big in the waistline and bodice (I could fit a fist in the waist and I do not have a particularly small waist for my size!), so I ended up going for a different option.

Very very vivacious and curvy look
This was one of three choices I selected via Unlimited for an upcoming event. It's very slinky and sexy with good boning/structure and stretch. It does hug very closely, though, so if you're self-conscious about your belly, it's not the dress for you. And since that was the case for me, I had to pass.

Stunning, elegant, and glamorous
This was my first RtR experience and I couldn't be happier. The items arrived packaged up well and tidily. The gown is GORGEOUS in person. People told me I was giving Michelle Obama vibes in it which is the ultimate compliment in my view. It is very glamorous and attention-getting. I don't normally wear muted or warm tones, but this dress was great!

Beautiful statement pieces!
I wanted to go for a glamorous yet edgy look. My gown was traditionally glam so these earrings added just the right edge! The only issue is that the left ones' backing kept falling out and I had to take the left one off so that I wouldn't worry about my evening.
