Lovely statement earrings!
These were actually backup earrings I rented for a wedding that I decided to wear since the original pair were too heavy. These were such a fun color and were a nice contrast to the bright plum dress I rented (Trink Turk Plum Blossom Joyous Dress). They did not feel too heavy, and I am usually a baby about heavy earrings because I rarely wear them. I didn't need any other jewelry besides the earrings, although I was on the lookout for a coordinating necklace, since my dress was a little plain. I felt like they were very versatile, and could go with several different colors and occasions. I would recommend these earrings for any occasion that you want to wear a nice statement earring!

Unique and fun color!!
Love the color and unique cut of this dress. I ended up wearing the backup size, Medium, instead of the Small. The only reason I sized up was that I felt the underarm was a little snug on the S, and the Medium gave me a little more flexibility. Got a few compliments and it was a super fun dress overall. I did run into a few undergarment issues with the Medium, which I think would've happened with the Small as well. Basically I felt that you could see the outline of the pasties I was wearing in certain lighting, and when I tired a regular bra, you could see the outline of that as well. I ended up wearing the pasties, and a scarf over the dress for the wedding ceremony and when I was in direct sunlight. I think I noticed it more than anyone else, but just something to be aware of. I did not wear Spanx with the Medium, although would have if I went with the Small. Also, when sitting in a car, one side did ride up a bit more than I was expecting, but I was able to adjust and got used to it. Loved this dress, and it was perfect for a daytime summer wedding/early evening reception with no explicit dress code.

Lovely colors!
I did not end up wearing these earrings, but I really wanted to! They were a perfect match for the Trina Turk Plum Blossom Joyous Dress. They were unfortunately just too big/heavy for my ears, and I did not feel that they would be comfortable for several hours. I should have looked more closely at the other reviewer's photos, but luckily I had a few backup options. These earrings are also a little confusing to put on, since they have a post back as well as a clip on support that goes on behind the post. I had to look at photos again to make sure I had them on right. If you are comfortable with heavier statement earrings, go for it!!!

Classy and stylish!
Loved this dress! In the photos online it looks like it is blue with a white pattern, but in person the pattern looks more grey than white. The fabric is nice, and it was a fun dress to wear. The zippers on both dresses were a little tough to work up, and I didn't notice much of a different in the fit of the 4R and 6R. I ended up wearing the 6R. It was colder than I expected for the weekend, so I ended up wearing a jean jacket over the dress but it helped to dress it down since the event I rented for ended up being more casual. Loved the pockets!! The print was very fun, and super appropriate for Spring or Summer. The length was about mid calf, which also helped with the chilly weather. I wore it with tan heeled sandals. I would rent this again, but maybe for a Summer event instead of unpredictable Spring.

Stunning color, felt fabulous and classy!
I ordered this for my boyfriend's holiday work party. I ordered the 4 and the 6, and although I was between sizes, I ended up wearing the 4 since the 6 felt baggy. Pros: Color is amazing. It is a super bright blue and is stunning. It was comfortable even when sitting and eating dinner. The quality of the dress was great. Both sizes still had the tags on them. Cons: I was between sizes and didn't have time to return or overnight another dress. I couldn't really wear Spanx since the seam of the Spanx was showing through in the front. The sleeves were a little tight, and I felt like I had T-rex arms most of the night (putting on or taking off coat was difficult, washing hands was tricky, etc.). Since I was between sizes and went with the smaller size, I was pretty self conscious all night, but I think that had to do with being slightly overdressed for the event and feeling under the weather as well. I would certainly recommend it if you are on the fence. It is a great dress, but keep in mind the limited movement in your arms. The color is amazing, and it would be great for standing out at all kinds of events. I would rent again!

Amazing color & so elegant!
This dress is absolutely amazing. I had been eyeing it for a while and finally had an excuse to rent it. I wore it to a wedding at an art gallery in New Orleans, so the bright cherry color was not too over the top. It is a true cherry or even brighter shade of red, so be prepared to get some attention. There is a mesh underlay, which was hard to lay flat, but it wasn't noticeable or distracting from the look of the dress. The quality of this dress is so nice, and I wish I owned it. I got compliments from strangers all night. I rented the 4R with a 6R backup, and went with the 4R since the top is adjustable. It is a little tricky to figure out how to tie it, but the picture of the model helps. I did have to tie it pretty tight since the dress material is a little heavy, but it was not uncomfortable. I wore some pasties since you can't really wear a bra, but not sure it was that necessary anyway, and didn't need to worry about Spanx since it flares out a bit starting at the waist. I wore it with some tan comfortable heels, since I was on my feet for most of the night. Overall I absolutely loved this dress, have no complaints, and seriously wish I owned it. I would rent it again in a heartbeat! If you are considering it, go for it!!!

Flashy and fun!
I wasn't sure about this necklace when I first opened this with my rental. It was much larger and more flashy than I expected. It looked a little more costume than I had planned, but it still worked. I wore it with a gorgeous jumpsuit, and it added to a retro vibe. The gold is very bright and shiny, so it was fun for a night out at a bar. I don't think I would wear it for something more formal, but it was great for what I rented it for.

Very bright
These look a little more casual in person. They are a bright, beautiful blue color. I didn't end up wearing them, because I didn't wear the dress I ordered for them to go with. I would consider renting them again for a casual or business casual daytime event.

Gorgeous color!
I ordered this for a Valentine's date, but the blizzard weather in Boston caused us to cancel our reservation. so I didn't end up wearing it out. This dress is a beautiful color, and so fun! The shoulders and arm parts don't seem as huge in person, which was good for me. It fits like a basic shift in the main part of the dress, so not much definition there. It was a little short on me, but since it is winter I had planned to wear it with black tights. I would consider renting this again for another date night. The color alone was enough to make me fall in love with it.

Such a fun outfit!!
I really loved this jumpsuit and was so excited to finally rent it for my birthday. Unfortunately, I ordered the SR instead of a MR, and did not opt for a backup size. Before trying it on with Spanx, it was a nightmare, and I thought there was no way I could wear it, it was way too tight in the wrong places. I gave the Spanx a try, and it helped so much. It was a little tight in the crotch area, so I had to make sure to pull it down every once and a while and be conscious of how I was standing, but it didn't ride up all night. The sleeves were a little short, but not terrible. The length was way too short, but I was able to wear tall brown boots with it, thanks to this terrible New England winter, so it wasn't noticeable. The neckline is pretty low, but I had some fashion tape to help make sure that nothing popped out. I was also able to wear a regular bra, which was nice! I wish I had sized up and gone with the MR or even the ML, but luckily it was dark where I was, so it still worked. I felt fabulous and bootylicious, without being completely out of my comfort zone. I would not have worn the one I got to more than a night out at the bar, just because it was so off in the sizing. The color is a rich wine-burgundy, and looks great in the winter. I would love to rent it again in the right size for another event!

Sparkles!!
This dress was pretty great! I rented it for my best friend's bachelorette party in New Orleans. It's a fun and sparkly dress that is perfect for a bachelorette night out. I rented the 4 and the 2 as a backup. I was barely able to get the 2 on, but the 4 worked! It was a little big on top and tighter on the bottom. The bottom did ride up a little bit when I walked since I was wearing tights with it, but it wasn't unbearable. The top seemed slightly stretched out or maybe it just ran larger, so I did have to keep an eye on it and adjust as needed. I think some safety pins or tape would've helped. I was able to wear a regular bra, which was nice. People were complementing me all night! It was a really comfortable and fun dress. I decided to wear burgundy tights with it since it was around the holidays, which brought out the purple and pink sequins. The colors on the dress are so pretty and look great in person. It's a nice change to a typical sequin dress. I would be willing to rent it again!

Beautiful but very large
I received these as part of my accessory upgrade to accompany my dress. These earrings are beautiful, but too large for me. They were very heavy, and not something I would be able to wear all night. I was very sad that they had to stay in the box.

This dress is beautiful and I got compliments all night!
This dress fits pretty true to size. The top is a little tight, so I would suggest sizing up if you are larger in the chest or waist. The dress falls nicely and is very forgiving. The suggestion was to size down for your backup, but if you are between sizes, I would size up. The waist was a little tight on me, but sizing up would've been too large in the sleeve. I didn't have to wear a bra with it, as there is a little padding and layering on the top of the dress. The length was perfect! The heels I wore to the wedding were uncomfortable, so I switched to flats before the reception. The regular was a little long with just flats on, but I was careful to hold the dress up a little when I walked or danced, and it didn't slow me down at all. The color of this dress is beautiful! I was a little worried the purple would be too bright, but in person it is a very elegant purple. This dress was perfect for the formal wedding I attended and I received complements on it all night! I was very sad to have to return the dress. I would love to rent it again!
