Navy gown plays up blue eyes and is very elegant!
This gorgeous, lightweight and comfortable dress was elegant, and looked perfect with a pearl strand of white, gray and dark blue. It had a slight give to it - and ran very true to size. I'm only 5'1", though and was disappointed that the length was way too long with my 3 1/2 " heels (I won't wear anything any higher for comfort's sake). But I called customer service and they said it was fine if I used some iron on stitch witchery to shorten it - as long as I undid it before shipping back. I was the Mother of the Groom, and the colors of the wedding were light beige and navy so this was perfect. It was comfortable enough to eat in, dance in and enjoy the long day and evening!! It has a lovely V in the back, but overall is modest enough for a church ceremony without feeling self-conscious. Like I said in the summary - it really plays up blue eyes! I've rented several times from RTR and was totally confident that I would get the gown in time and have a wonderful experience - regardless of the magnitude of this event - it just doesn't get much more important than being MOG and having a great dress! As expected, I was NOT disappointed. It was fabulous and I will rent again for my next big soiree`!

Perfect gown for Mother of the Groom - wedding and dancing!
Rex Bolero made the outdoor photos on a sunny but very chilly spring wedding day, really bearable! (I think the bride probably could have used one as well!) Extremely soft and luxurious but not fussy bolero looked great over the gown I had selected. Felt fabulous and it of course had that RTR distinctive, out of the ordinary look!

Kindof Mad Men, Kindof Audrey Hepburn, Very Chic!
The poofy skirt is so unique and fun. The pearl and crystal accents around the neckline make it simple to accessorize with earrings. It's definitely a show-stopper! As a 50+, I didn't mind that the hemline was at the bottom of my knees - the body of the skirt draws attention to shoes with a bit of sparkle - so definitely wear shoes that have some glam to them. Fantastic fit - it was very comfortable all evening long. This is so unusual and classy! I would definitely wear again - but in a different city and occasion - because EVERYone will remember this dress!

Sparkly elegance!
Paired (as RTR suggested) with The Perfect Era dress by Kate Spade. It provided the perfect accent - understated by very sparkly and elegant. For my wrist, however, it was very nearly too big - in circumference. I hadn't thought about checking that - and for future will. I kept making sure it stayed on my wrist - because it was quite loose. Looked gorgeous though.

Elegant, sumptuous, and Wowsa!
Lots of "Wow" looks come your way in this Marilyn-Monroe-esque design. It's an amazing, classy design. It gave my straight figure great curves and made me feel really glamorous. The substantial weight of the fabric reminds you you're in a designer-level creation and it's an awesome feeling. I needed a little bit of fashion tape and a small safety pin to make this dress workable for the wedding I attended and for my own comfort level. You are definitely reminded that there is a limited waistline on this - so I didn't want to eat too much or drink anything bubbly! But it was a TO DIE FOR dress. I absolutely adored it - and SO did my date - whose "Wow" looks were constant!
