Traditional Japanese Wedding in Tokyo
Having been able to rent the dress via Unlimited was a blessing, because I was on a 2 week trip to Asia, and attending a wedding in the middle of it! The wedding was a traditional Japanese wedding, and I didn't really know the dress code so I went with this dress, thinking that it's more conservative, weather appropriate, and didn't wrinkle easily. It was the perfect dress for the occasion! As it turns out, the "traditional" wedding color is black, so the navy blended very well. Also the other female (Japanese) guests all had jackets or something that covered their arms. The dress itself is beautifully made, it's classy and easy to wear. I really recommend it if you prefer to stay covered but still feel a little sexy.

Flirty dress!
The dress is super cute! There are a little tulle underneath the skirt so it puffs nicely. It wasn't apparent to me when I rented it that you NEED a backless bra with this dress. I'm sure I could've made the straps stay on with some fabric tape, but the dress did not look right without enough "support" in the front if you know what i mean. I ended up not wearing this dress because the wedding is this weekend but it's not warm enough for a backless dress, until next time!

Reminds me of vacation!
One of the first dresses I got via unlimited. I wore it to work on the first "warm" day (~50s), got lots of compliments. It's not too tight, not too short, very work appropriate, and showed off just enough tan from myrecent trip to Turks and Caicos!

Simple and form-fitting
The dress is simple elegance in itself, fits like a glove. Though I could not wear even a light push up bra with it (or i couldn't zip it across my chest). It's fitted across the mid-section and flows out nicely (but not puffy) to flatter your hips. I think I need to lose a couple of pounds to be able to go to dinner and eat in this dress. Definitely recommend it for a date night though!

Big Hoops
The hoop earrings were big, and when I rented it (via unlimited) i didn't realize the hoop had "pyramid" designs. It also would not stay on my ear (the needle/backing didn't want to match up). I could not wear it out.

Elegant
The earrings were pretty, the 3 pearls in the middle needed a little adjustment so that it hung straight down. The center crystal was bigger than I imagined so wasn't suitable for day-to-day wear, definitely something to dress up a date/event.

Bling Bling!
The necklace came with my unlimited subscription. Wore it for a date. It sat right above my collar bone. Lots of bling without a lot of $$!

Pretty but didn't fit
This dress was beautiful, my bf said it made me look like a princess. However, it didn't fit my shape :( The dress didn't allow me to wear a bra, and so it looked really awkward/unflattering across my chest. I went with myback up dress (no 2nd size was available).

Sparkly New Year's Eve
The dress I rented didn't fit, but the necklace did! It was comfy to wear, laid right above the collar bones, gave enough sparkle without being "in your face".

Very festive, comfortable, and flattering even after a day of feast!
It was the first Christmas with my boyfriend and his family so I wanted to look good, but we spend the day at a relative's house and not a "party" so I didn't want anything too glitzy, and this dress was perfect.. I rented the dress in small and medium, the day before they told me that the dress didn't get returned with the red sash belt, and send me an alternate dress as a back-up. I still went with this dress, just put my own belt. You definitely need a belt to accentuate the waist. The pleating and the flare was very flattering!

I felt great in the dress!
I ordered this dress because I've always been self-conscious about my pear-shaped body; the length of the dress and the design appeared to be flattering and not drawing attention to my mid-section. I wore it to my bf and I's anniversary dinner, knowing that he's not gonna dress up too much (man...) I didn't want to get anything too shiny/over the top. It was great, I felt very elegant and lady-like. I ordered size 8 and 6 as a backup, the size 8 fit me very nicely, and the "fake belt" gave me a defined waist. I'm usually between size 6 and 8 so the fit was pretty true to size, from the top to bottom. The fabric is soft, comfortable, and the folds made the dress fun!

Fun and Flirty
I've always been a little hesitant to wear strapless dresses, but this one came with a built-in bodice so I know it won't be slipping any time soon! My boyfriend loved that I showed a "girly" side with the pink and the full skirt. I got compliments even from strangers!

Shorter than the picture
I ordered this as a back-up dress, and did not wear it out. I noticed from previous reviews that the dress runs kind of large so I ordered a small. The dress fit me snugly, there was VPL, and the skirt came up to my mid thigh! It did not fit the "elegant" theme I was going for, it's more a "siren" theme. So I wore the other dress. By the way, I rented this because I was intrigued by the sash thingy. Rent this dress if you wanna show off your figure and wow the room!
