Super fun for summer parties
This is a great clutch. The colors are vibrant and there are a few little beads for definition. It's a good size. Plenty of room for wallet, phone, lipsticks, and other things you might need. It also has an optional chain. One friend even wanted to borrow it the following night because it was so great.

Great LBD with some fun features
Rented this for a bachelorette weekend. Everyone but the bride wore black. This was a great party/cocktail dress. It was actually very comfortable and flattering. I was a little nervous about it based on reviews about having enough room in the top and not having under boob. But it fit perfect. I have a very large chest but everything was tucked in and no overflow. Definitely recommend. Spice it up with dramatic earrings and fun clutch. Anything goes with this one!

Showstopper of a dress...it always good to be best dressed
Whew, this is an ultimate date/party dress for summer. I consider it dressy casual as it is not quite cocktail in my opinion. The fabric is silky and the stripes are so thin it actually makes you look smaller (gasp). The ruffle hides your busy so it's good for all sizes and likely don't even need a sinful strapless bra. The ruffle on the hem would be so much fun for a night of dancing. Go for this one, you will look and feel like best dressed. And who doesn't love that!!

Definitely more Derby than BBQ, but if you aren't over dressed, what's the point?
This is one of my favorite items I have ever rented! Cute, Parisian, chic, comfy. The fit is flattering for every body type. Peplum is your friend. It does seem to run a bit large. I am very well endowed and would never wear a 2, but my frame is petite, so it was perfect. A bit too low cut for work, but I looked adorable at a festival. I paired it with a stretchy, tight high-waisted black skirt. Too bad it was too windy for my large floppy hat (how French!) Either way tres chic!!! I may have shed a tear or two sending it back.

Black tie NYE
My friend's wedding reception was supposed to be black tie (she changed that at the last minute) but being overdressed is never a bad thing! This dress is actually comfortable. I even wore a regular bra! Although I should have pinned the straps. The neck line in sophisticated and classic. Perfect for an updo. It has a high slit which makes walking easy and gives a bit of sexiness. I am short but with 4 inch heels it was the perfect length. So if you are average/tall and plan on wearing heels, you might want to get the long version, not the regular.

Elegant drops for NYE
These are so elegant and vintage. They are also light weight so you can wear them all day and night. They would be perfect for anything cocktail to formal.

A little sparkle for NYE
This is a stunner. It is very brilliant and bright but not huge. It is heavy, but it didn't not have to be readjusted all night. You will want to use some extra pins to get it to hold tight. It looked beautiful in a messy updo. I loved it so much I wore it to work as well with just a side pulled up.

Rented for work, ended up wearing to a party at a chic boutique as well
The floral pattern is so lovely, it is feminine and flirty. The fit is perfect. It might run a bit tight on well endowed areas, but nothing that would prohibit from wearing it. This would be small season dress with the colors, pattern, and cut. Imagine it with a faux fur collar or scarf! So cute for winter!!!

Felt like a cheerleader on the job
This is a flirty, sweet dress that is perfect for work or a bridal/baby shower. The skirt does look like a cheerleader uniform. So perhaps a mature version for those who want to relive their high school days! It fits as expected. However, if you are "hippy" the pockets might poke out a little.

Work is always better in designer
This is one of my favorite rentals. It is perfect for winter. Looks really chic under a coat and a dramatic necklace gives it a nice pop. The sleeves are amazing! It combines mod looks of the '60s with sophistication of Audrey Hepburn for modern perfection. This is a must rent for making everyday life feel a bit more extravagant.

Just an average work in a great dress
This is a beautiful red. It fits perfectly and would be flattering on most body types. One of the best parts...the arm holes don't show any bra!!!! The hem is really fun and there are even pockets! It is comfortable and great for work, but will transition into happy hour perfectly.

This is a fun, flirty fall dress. It is a thin fabric, so you will want tights if you are prone to chills. The color and floral pattern are exactly as they appear in pictures. There is a dainty ruffle detail on the hem which is a nice surprise. The neck line will be flattering on all bust types. It fits true to size and will be slimming on all body types.

It is starting to get a little chilly, so dresses with sleeves are a must. This one is thick as well!!! The substantial material fits wonderfully. It is stretchy, but holds its shape. The pattern is fun and has some shimmery threads. I also love the scalloped edging. This dress is so comfortable I could sleep in it. It also works great with tights in the coolers temps.

Perfect dress for a classy Halloween party
I wanted to go as Marie Antionette for Halloween, unfortunately the dress didn't arrive in time. So I just did a selfie photo shoot because it was too pretty not to wear. You really feel like a storybook princess in this one, with a little edge. There is an interior bra to help hold everything in place. But if you have a large chest, your cleavage will extreme. And the cut on the outside will hit in the middle of your boobs. I pulled it up quite a bit and did not wear it long. So if you are well-endowed, size up. Otherwise it is comfortable! And oh so lovely!!!

An average work day
This is a great easy, breezy dress. But warning if you do come near a breeze, hold tight to the hem!!! The fabric is very light weight, so perfect for warm days. However, it also transitions into fall despite being white because of the blue/charcoal pattern. You could pair it with a blazer. It is a very flattering style for all body types. It does seem to wrinkle easily, but since the skirt has pleats, it isn't bothersome. It is definitely not very dressy, so good for work, church, brunch, etc.

The colors of this dress are beautiful. The floral is lovely, and the hemline with the alternating fabrics is a fun detail. This dress is highly structured. I have a very large chest and it flattened my boobs, but it was fine to wear for work. If you are curvy on top or bottom, you might want to size up as the fabric has no give. But it would be beautiful for a wedding shower or luncheon. Although, when you sit, the slit will be a bit exposing.

Dinner with college friends
This is a great fall dress for dinner or work. It combines feminine (the pattern), modern (hem line), and traditional (fabric and cut) aspects into one very wearable dress. It is heavy sweater material so you will not need any kind of spanx or slips to hide imperfections. The A-line fit is perfect for all body types and the high neck is conservative. It also needs minimal jewelry.

Perfect for a day of tailgating, gameday, and celebrating a big football win!
As an Alabama fan, we never wear t-shirts to a football game and this was a perfect option for a top ten matchup in Tuscaloosa. A double RTR (Rent the Runway and Roll Tide Roll!) The color is a little more maroon than it appears, which made it look more Texas A&M fan than I would have preferred (especially paired with a chunky gray scarf for warmth). The fit is perfect. Might be a bit short for taller girls. The sleeves are fun. And the ruffle hem is so cute!!! Very easy to wear and comfortable.

Dinner at a French bistro, modern Audrey Hepburn look
This dress would likely work for any body type. It is a true shift dress so there is no shape fitted to your body. The fabric is a very substantial weight. It holds its shape and the pockets are so fun! You don't even need a clutch for all of your stuff. The shoulders are kind of wide, but my frame is petite so it would not be that way of everyone.

Designer at work makes Mondays better
This dress is just adorable. The scalloped edges add a special detail to an otherwise basic fitting dress. It is very comfortable and perfect for work. I loved the button detail on the shoulder and didn't want to add a necklace to detract from the dress, so I just wore bold earrings. It is a little short, so that might affect taller girls. Another bonus, the arm wholes were perfect, so you can wear your regular bra with it and nothing will show!!!

Why not look glamorous for work too?
I didn't have a cocktail party to wear this dress for, but I wanted to wear it, so work it was! It is a beautiful dress! The fabric is luxurious, although it does wrinkle a little. The color is shimmery and a nice tone for probably all skin colors, as I am extremely pale and it still looked pretty on me. The top is very flattering and will work for any size chest. The fabric does not have any stretch to it, so if you are curvy on the bottom, you might want to go up one size as it could be tight. It is made for taller women with longer torsos, so it might bunch a little at the waist on shorter girls, but because of the draped top, it is not an issue.

Just wanted to wear something sparkly for everyday
These are really unique and beautiful earrings. If you are looking for something with some edge, yet glamorous for pretty much any occasion, these are perfect. The colors go with everything, literally. They are a little heavy, but I wore them all day at work and it didn't bother me at all. Rent them and wear them with all of your outfits.

An outdoor night time concert on the lawn in Music City
I am currently obsessed with off the shoulder tops or dresses and this one is beautiful. The fabric is luxurious and the color is a really pretty green that works well for fall. I was a little worried that the six would be too loose in the middle, but I wanted to order up since my chest is so large. It was perfect fit. Only only complaint (which is to be expected) is that the shoulders were difficult to stay down when moving your arms a lot. But it didn't bother me enough to fuss with it much. I paired it with a straight, jersey black maxi shirk, since we were at a casual, outdoor concert. I got so many compliments on this top, I would definitely rent it again.

A fun night out on the town in Nashville for a Bachelorette Party
This dress is such a great find for wearing out when you want to look sophisticated yet fun. The color/pattern is perfect for fall. Also having sleeves, this dress is great for nights when it might be a little chilly, but you don't want to carry a jacket. Although it is really cute with a leather jacket. The fabric is thinner than I expected, but that had no impact on fit. The cut out in the middle is flattering and does not expose anything that you would want to stay hidden. It just adds a little edge to a dress that is otherwise conservative. The length was long on me since I am short. It fell about mid calf instead of at my knee. This did not bother me at all, in fact it made sitting and getting in and out of ubers very easy.!

Rented this for a Bachelorette Weekend in Nashville
This necklace is truly stunning. It is a statement piece in the truest of forms. I wore it with several different outfits because I wanted to get as much wear out of it as possible. It worked well with an off the shoulder blouse to add a little bling to a casual concert outfit. I lent it to my bride to wear with her white jumpsuit on our night out, because when the bride wants to wear Oscar, you let her! And I wore it to work with a black shift dress. I would probably sleep in it if I could!

Rented for a bachelorette party night out
I didn't end up wearing this dress, not because I didn't like it, but because I just felt like I wanted something with color. It was actually extremely comfortable because you can wear a bar. Although it would need to be a criss cross so the straps don't show. The front does have two hook closures, so you can see through where the fabric does not meet. That means you can see the bra from the front. That wasn't a big deal to me. This would fit well on any body type.

Trying to spice up work attire
This dress felt luxurious, which isn't something that you would use to describe working. The colors were beautiful and I LOVED the way the ruffles swished when I walked. I got a lot of compliments on this dress. The arm holes were perfect, which can sometimes be a struggle with sleeveless dresses. No bra showing! The only complain I would have is not really the dress's fault. I have a short torso and this dress is clearly made for runway models. It would fit better on taller girls with long torsos. The way it sat because of the torso issue made it bunch around the waist a bit. I just kept pulling it down if I needed it to lie flat. Otherwise lovely. The colors are like a deep, deep hunter green, lilac, and dark burgundy.

Anticipated for a bachelorette party brunch
This dress is heavy! That was my first impression. Don't get on the scale in this one, haha! It is lovely and really quality fabric. However, if you are short like me, this will be a gown and not a midi dress. The skirt is full and I love the contrast with the longer over layer on the skirt. The top is also very stretchy and holds its shape. The good news is you can wear any type of bra you like. It ended up being just too dressy for the brunch since it was so long on me. But it would be great for a date night for someone taller.

I wore this for a birthday party that was not dressy, but still a fun party atmosphere.
This dressy is really lovely. The fabric is sheer, but it is completely lined expect for the sleeves. In the pictures, the dots look more opaque than they actually are in person. The dots are a shimmery gold and somewhat transparent. The fit would likely be good for all body types, although I feel it would look best on tall, slender figures. It is made to give you an hourglass shape, so if you already have one, it might look a bit hippy. I am short and it was relatively long on me, but was great with stilettos. The slit is also high, so don't catch a breeze!!!

It was just work. Haha!
I rented this because I am an Alabama fan and always wear team colors of Fridays during football season. This is houndstooth print which is why I selected it. It is a very dark navy, almost black. The fabric holds its shape well, but is stretchy so it is comfortable. I am short and it hits a couple of inches under my knee which is a great length for work. Since I am short, I have a shorter torso and I feel like it was made for someone taller, but that really wasn't a big deal. I usually wear a 4, but the 6 was perfect as it would have been tight in the bust otherwise.
