Super cute but a little snug in the bust
I probably should have gotten the 4 as a backup size because even though I zipped this up w/o problem it fit really close in the bust & shoulders. The rest of the dress fit fine and it's super cute and stylish. Considering how short I am, I was surprised it was still so short on me. It's definitely a minidress!

This dress photographs great
I have to admit, when I first took it out of the garment bag, I was underwhelmed with how the fabric looked. It reminded me of drapes. Still, I liked the style and cut so I tried it on. I would have liked if the arm holes were a touch smaller, but overall it's a really good fit. It's very comfortable and flattering. A really nice surprise is how amazing this dress looks in photos. I guess it's the metallic threads in the fabric, but it photographs great.

I couldn't take two steps without someone saying how fab my dress was!
The dress doesn't zip all the way down the back and it's a little hard to reach unless you're really flexible (or have someone to assist). I really love the wetsuit fabric! It's SUCH a departure from what you'd expect, and of course the design is to die for. It's very Art Deco/Jazz Age, which I love.

I felt like the belle of the ball
I wore this to a fraternity's formal New Year's Eve party. The crowd spanned generations and I received complements right and left on this dress. I wore it with a dramatic necklace and cuff, like in the photo. The fit was perfect and the length was just right. I had on 4" heels (no platform) and didn't worry about tripping/stepping on the dress.

This was an alternate
I rented this as a backup dress for the Theia Golden Blossom Gown. The front slits are really sexy, but I didn't like that the pleats didn't lay down flat in the torso. I also didn't think this did much for my figure. I already have slim hips so I kind of looked like a ruler in this.

I wore this to my company holiday party and it was a knockout! Fits true to size and the ruching is figure-flattering.

This look was very classy and "red carpet"
I wore this to the 2013 Dallas Margarita Ball, an event that brings out a lot of prom dresses on adults. I wore this and felt very elegant and chic. I'm 5'3" and wore 4" heels, so the dress swept the floor. I ended up holding the train to make sure I didn't step on it though. Still, the fit is amazing and it photographs great.

I wanted something striking but not too overdone for my 35th birthday.
The fit was perfect and I loved the Harlequin-inspired design. The colorblocking is very figure-flattering and I felt great wearing it.

Odd fit
This is one of the coolest dresses I've ever seen, but when I first rented it (when it was new to the site), I was able to fit a 4. I didn't end up wearing it to the event (arrived too late due to weather). But when I rented it again, it was too big. Who knows. Maybe it was the dress, maybe it was me. I still loved the design though.

I wore this dress to three different parties in one night!
I absolutely loved this Trina Turk dress. I was recovering from surgery so my stomach was pretty bloated and I didn't want anything too fitted. The loose styling of the dress camouflaged my tummy and I still looked great. It was also so versatile. I bounced from a wine mixer to a BMW party to a late night happy hour at a chic bar.

It was the perfect dress for a spring, outdoor wedding ceremony
One of my best friends was getting married in the garden of a beautiful restaurant in Dallas. The style, the colors, the fit was perfect. The dress is very comfortable as well. As soon as I left the wedding, I hopped a plane to Houston for a second event.

I rented this dress for a 60s themed party and it was a hit!
I love Tracy Reese dresses. They're beautifully made, true to size, and easy to wear. I'm 5'3" and the length was a few inches above the knee so that was nice... you don't have to be model-tall to pull it off. I saw great outfits all night but I was complemented over and over on my RTR dress.

I wore this to a celebrity party during the NBA All Star weekend in Dallas I felt so Hollywood. The fit is excellent, great quality.

I rented this for an event called Top Hats & Tutus and wore it with a blue & pink fascinator. I've worn Tracy Reese before but this was a touch tight in the bodice, not recommended if you're busty. I had to ditch my padded strapless bra to zip it up. It's very cute and adds booty to your silhouette.

Unfortunately I didn't like this dress at all. The shoulder straps are awkward and the fabric began to lose shape possibly after multiple wearers.

I wore this to a couture runway show and made quite a splash at the cocktail party afterward. I've rented Badgley Mischka before with no problems but this was a little roomy in the bust area. I rented a 2 but a 0 would have not fit in the waist. I do think however it had less to do with the cut of the dress than the fabric maybe being a little distorted from a previous renter. I was able to dress-tape myself so everything fit properly.

Comfy, chic and WARM
I wore this dress to an event during the NBA All Star Game in Dallas (where, ironically it snowed). This was a homerun choice because the gray lining is this wonderful, warm jersey knit. I felt like I had on a sweatshirt but looked red carpet fab.

Extremely pretty and well made, but the sizing is misleading. According to the converter I should have worn a UK 6. I needed a UK 8 but didn't rent the backup size. Loss on my part.

FABULOUS dress that I wore to the fall show preview at Barneys New York with Simon Doonan. (http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Sr8mvJySyYDXSX-1TOTOaw?feat=directlink) It fit perfectly and I got a lot of complements on it.

I wore this to a charity shopping event at Versace and everyone was in love with the color. I love how the detail accentuated what few contours I have: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/uGjiAul7PNqrQqs7Odi9zQ?feat=directlink

I wore this to the big indie fashion designer showcase and with its structured shape and simple colorblocking, it was fabulous. SUPER tight in the bodice. I could hardly breathe.
