Beautiful gown. I'm 5'5 1/2 and even with 5 inch heels this was a tad too long.

I definitely liked it. The only issue is that the top's tied did not stay closed.

Blousy and relaxed
This is one of those tops I'd been eyeing for a while and then decided to rent for every day occasions. Since I had it on Unlimited, I wore it a number of times. With the myriad colors on the top, I found I could pair just about any jewelry or cardigan with it and it worked. My only complaint was that it was a little too billowy at times when the wind hit. Otherwise, total win.

The back is stunning!
This was one of my favorite dresses! I wore this number to a holiday cocktail party and received a ton of compliments. The style is fantastic with the skirt that holds shape, pockets (!), and a sexy open back on an otherwise demure dress. You definitely cannot wear a bra with this dress at all; I wore a Nu Bra.

Great details, but the corners are too heavy and bend.
I wanted to love this handbag and keep it longer, but alas it needed to be returned. It was smaller than I anticipated, but still fit a ton of stuff inside without being obnoxious. The gold plated corners are fantastic to the eyes but in terms of execution are a total fail. I think they're too heavy for the purse because they both went limp on me and looked like sad puppy ears after a couple days.

The bow and collar with the lace set this dress apart!
I received so many compliments on this unique dress. It was a little big on top, but fit well everywhere else well on me. What I especially liked is that it's a two piece outfit. The white/blue printed chemise under is totally separate. If you had another color you wanted to wear under the navy lace dress, like black, you could and it would change the look to a more dressy feel. I personally wore this during the day to work and again to a baby shower.

Great glasses, too wide
I was so excited to rent these glasses. They're definitely stylish. However whomever wore them previously had a huge noggin! The glasses were so stretched out and wouldn't stay on my face. Hoping this isn't the case with all the glasses.

Stand out bright colored purse
Rented this as unlimited and adore the bright cobalt bluey-purple color and the gold zipper details. It's also the perfect size - not too small, I can fit tons of things in it, but it isn't too oversized that it'd be cartoonish. Love!

Cleavage City!
This is definitely a wintery dress, so plan accordingly. Otherwise, this dress is pretty fantastic. The color is bright and beautiful. I wore this to dinner and was pleased with the reactions on the walk there. The pleating is askew which is certainly forgiving. I'm smaller on top and bigger on bottom and this dress worked really well for me. I find that's a difficult combination with fitted dresses and this dress married the two well.

Style in Wonderland!
I fell in love with the dress on sight. The fit is fantastic and true to size for me (smaller on top with hips and a butt) because of the a-line design; I wore the 8. The vibrant blues and contrasting black and white pattern receive quite the praise. I was pleasantly surprised to find the front zips down to *just* the right spot to be sexy and not trashy. I only wish the dress had pockets.

Great color, forgettable dress
The detail on the bottom of the dress where the purple cascades into black is great, but it's just not enough to make up for the boxy dress. I had hoped to wear it, but when I donned the dress I felt more like an ugly bridesmaid than a princess.

Pair this with the Oscar de la Renta pave bouquet earrings!
I definitely recommend pairing this ring with the pave bouquet earrings. The ring is pretty but a lot darker than I expected the crystals to be. The sizing is adjustable from the inside, though it fit my middle finger well without it.

Super pretty!
These are so very pretty in person. I even managed to wear these clip-on earrings for almost 9 hours straight without completely dying. They do have a cushion on them, however after hour 2 you start feeling the weight that wasn't there prior. The earrings are just big enough without being too glitzy (believe it or not) to add the perfect shimmer for your pictures.

The right amount of gold.
This clutch is totally clutch! I was able to easily fit my iPhone5, lipgloss, keys and ID/cards/cash without a problem. I never used the chain, because holding it was just as easy.

I felt like a princess in this gorgeous dress.
I am absolutely enamored of this dress! The moment I tried it on I knew I'd chosen well. I received so many compliments at the wedding and in photos afterward. If you're shy, I'd choose the blue or black version of this dress. This true-red dress is a showstopper. The other ladies who reviewed this dress are right - it does run large. I opted to wear the 8L and am glad I chose the long length. I'm just about 5'6, wore it with 4" heels and it was perfect. I love that it laid perfectly in the front and elegantly laid longer in back. The material is heavy but breathable. I paired this gown with Oscar de la Renta pave bouquet earrings and ring. For my handbag: the Diane Von Furstenburg gold boombox clutch. I would definitely wear this again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful material & style!
I've worn Tracy Reese before and was comfortable choosing a size 10. Unfortunately it was all wrong. The bottom was too tight and the top was too big (it bunched). It's too bad too because the dress is beautiful. The detail shimmers and the bow accent on the back is fantastic.

If you're sporting a rockin' bod - this could very well be the dress for you. The jersey material is thick and would be warm to wear I imagine. It also hugs your curves... in a non-forgiving way. The button detail on the sleeves are fantastic on this minimalist dress.

The color contrast of this mini-dress is dynamite; the blue is electric & the mulberry is beautiful
I received SO many compliments on the dress for girls and guys alike. I was extremely concerned that it was going to be too tight in the shoulders as mentioned by others, but it wasn't. If anything, it was tight around my hips... because I have them. ;) I beyond loved this dress and only wish I had more photos of me in it!

Pretty, but simple.
Believe it or not, this actually was big on me. I think I might've been better suited with a medium and liked it better. Nonetheless, this dress is extremely comfortable and stylish. Definitely wear this with a strapless bra because the top is more sheer than the rest. The rest of the dressed is well lined. This dress is definitely pretty, but it's not a show-stopper.

These earrings are actually quite stunning for a dressy event.
These earrings came to me as a stylist surprise. If you're looking for bling - look no further. They're definitely dazzling. I didn't end up wearing them (other than to try on) because they would've been too much for the event I attended. I was also concerned about these being clip-ons - but they weren't too heavy and the padding leads me to believe they'd be comfortable to wear for an evening.
