Fun holiday sparkle
This dress was a lot of fun to wear to our Christmas party. Since I was hosting the party, I was busy and moving around a lot, and it was comfortable the entire time. It was a little short for me, but I wore leggings underneath, which looked great and made it a little less formal, too. I got a lot of compliments. Perfect for the holiday season!

Gorgeous dress made a statement at my work holiday party
This dress was brighter and shinier than usual for me, and I was a little nervous to wear it to a work event, but it was perfect. It was a conservative enough cut for a work event but the pattern and fabric made it stand out. It was a lot of fun to wear. Both sizes (42 and 44) fit me but I wore the 44 because it was a little more comfortable and fell more nicely.

Beautiful extra sparkle
These earrings weren't too big but made a fun statement to complement a shimmery teal dress at my work holiday party. Seemed to me that they'd go with a lot of different dresses.

Added sparkle to a work holiday party
These bangles were a lot of fun and sparkly. I ended up only wearing half of them because altogether, with a shimmery dress, it was a little much for the event, but the bracelets were a great complement nevertheless!

Festive and sexy, great for a party
I wore this at a Christmas party that I hosted at home. It was perfect for the occasion and I got a lot of compliments. Normally I'm bothered by sequins, especially on my arms, but I found this dress to be comfortable. Both the 4 and the 6 fit, but I went with the 6 because it was less tight and revealing, and felt more appropriate for the party.

I wore these with the Nicole Miller Garden Bouquet Dress and I thought they went together beautifully. The earrings were comfortable to wear and added just the right amount of sparkle. I'd think they would go well with lots of different dresses and outfits.

Perfect for an outdoor, summer wedding
I wore this to a friend's wedding, held at the botanical gardens, so the floral print was prefect. I thought the dress, with the ruching, was quite flattering. The neck and shoulders were an unusual cut, and I got several compliments on the dress. Importantly, it was comfortable and easy to dance in. In fact, I was so busy having a good time that I neglected to get a good picture of it!

Simple and beautiful earrings were the perfect match
I wore these earrings with the ML Monique Lhuillier Never Let You Go Sheath and the Ben-Amun Victorian Crystal Statement Necklace, and I thought they complemented both perfectly, especially the dress, which was also blue. They were comfortable to wear, understated, and very pretty.

I wore this with the ML Monique Lhuillier Never Let You Go Sheath and Kenneth Jay Lane Blue Skies Drop Earrings, and they all went together beautifully. The necklace was pretty and noticeable, but not too over the top. I got several compliments on it and would definitely rent it again.

This bracelet was a lot of fun and a great complement to the Nicole Miller Golden Galaxy dress, although, being black, I think it would probably look good with many other dresses here.

Gorgeous, flattering dress for a special date night
I wish I had taken a picture but I was having too much fun enjoying myself when I wore this dress. My husband took me out to a special dinner for my birthday at a fancy restaurant and this dress perfectly fit the bill. Both the 4 and 6 fit, with the 4 being a little snugger, and I chose to wear the 4 since it looked a little sexier. In being looser, the 6 had a little bit of a gap in the netting in the back. The only downside was in choosing a bra since the back is sheer although black. I just wore a black bra, which was visible but not very noticeable, especially seated at the restaurant. Some people might be able to get away with no bra.

Great complement for a festive party dress
I loved this bracelet and think it would complement a lot of dresses very well. I wore it to a work winter dinner (held in lieu of a holiday party). Just the right amount of sparkle and a very striking design. Not too heavy or cumbersome to wear at all.

Gorgeous dress, perfect for a work event
I wore this dress to my law firm's winter dinner (held in lieu of a holiday party). It was the perfect degree of fun and festive, while not being too over-the-top for work. Both the 4 and 6 fit, but I opted for the 6 because it was less snug and form-fitting, and felt more appropriate. Otherwise the dress fit like a glove.

Gorgeous and unusual dress
The pattern on this dress was beautiful and very unusual. Although itran a bit small (I wore a 6 when I usually wear a 4, and the 8 fit pretty well, too), it fit like a glove and was quite flattering, and was really comfortable to dance in, as well. I got lots of compliments on it and really enjoyed wearing it.

Fun, comfortable, and sparkly party dress
I wore this to a holiday party I hosted. It was very festive but also quite comfortable to be running around playing hostess in. I fit into the size 2 (usually too small for me) but opted for the size 4 to give me plenty of room to breathe. I also was a little wary of how short it looked on the model but it fell just right on me -- above the knee but not too high.

Fun holiday party dress
This dress was a perfect fit for my husband's holiday party. It was fun, festive and sparkly without being too over the top. My usual size 4 fit perfectly. My only quibble was that the lace at the top had a minor tear in it -- probably noticeable only to me, but still... otherwise, it was a great dress!

Beautiful but too small
The dress was great-looking but unfortunately too small for me. Luckily RTR was great and overnighted me another dress to wear. I was disappointed but will admit that I knew I was cutting it close ordering a small when no medium was available as a back-up. The fit wasn't even close, however, so I'd say this one runs small.

Perfect Christmas party dress
I wore this dress to a Christmas party I hosted at my home. It was perfect for the event -- festive but not too over-the-top in the sparkly holiday department. I got a lot of compliments. I opted for the 6 over the 4 because it was a tad tight in the hips and rib cage for me, although the 4 fit my waist and bust better. In the end the dress looked great and was very fun to wear.

Great party dress
I enjoyed wearing this dress to my law firm's holiday party. One caution: it's a tad short, which is one of the reasons I opted for the 6 over the 4. The 4 also felt a bit to tight all over, especially for the type of event. As form-fitting as the dress is, it looked great and was quite flattering. It was a great choice for the holidays.

Gorgeous rehearsal dinner dress
This dress was subtly sparkly but not too over-the-top. It was perfect for my rehearsal dinner, held at a nice San Francisco restaurant. The color is hard to describe but in my opinion it is even prettier in person than the picture would lead you to believe. It fit very well and was comfortable to wear. By the end of the evening, the fabric felt a tiny bit scratchy on my arms, but I am sensitive to that sort of thing. I got a ton of compliments and felt fantastic in the dress. I should add that I originally chose another dress but when there was a mix-up with my order RTR allowed me to pick any dress at any price, and I ended up with this one -- fancier and more expensive than my original choice, but a blast to wear.

Fun but really quite large
I rented these to wear to my rehearsal dinner but I ended up not using them because I found them to be just too large. I'm not used to wearing really big earrings so that was part of it, but even beyond that, they pulled my ears and really dominated my face. Someone else used to a bit more flash may have been able to pull them off -- but not me!

Great choice for a holiday party
I wore this to my law firm's holiday party -- a small event in a private room at a local restaurant. It was prefect for the occasion. I believe it's true to size but it is less forgiving than the model pictured might lead you to believe. I found it to be a little tighter than I might have liked in the hips and thighs, but otherwise it fit quite well. I suspect the fit really just depends on your proportions. It's a really lovely dress and would probably look best on someone built a bit narrower.

Pretty but not too special
I wore these with the Badgley Mischka Sleeveless Orion Sequin Orbit Sheath and they complimented it well. They were a bit larger than I expected but I am also not used to wearing earrings bigger than a simple stud, so take that with a grain of salt. I wasn't wowed by them, however. They were pretty but not remarkable.

Fun purse for a special date, but a little small
This purse was shiny and a lot of fun to carry, but it was a tad small even when I wasn't carrying much. I had to empty out what I needed from my wallet in order to fit that (cash, cards), an iPhone and some lip gloss.

Sexy dress for a special date
I was lucky enough to go to French Laundry with my husband for my birthday and it was a great excuse to get dressed up. This dress was perfect for the occasion. Although it definitely hugs your curves it's also pretty forgiving in the tummy region, which was great for enjoying a special meal. It wasn't terribly flattering to my bust and squished it in, but otherwise the dress looked great on. I honestly didn't notice much of a difference between the 4 and the 6 except in the bust, probably because the fabric was so stretchy. I'd size up if you're bigger on top.

Fun color-blocking dress
I wore this to a post-wedding brunch and it was perfect for a nice-ish picnic. I could move around in it and lounge easily on a blanket -- and it looked great, too. I was glad to have the XS, which I never normally wear except in this case after reading the other reviews. Otherwise I think it would've been too big and blousy.
