Not super flattering, but still fun and sparkly
I'm currently between a size 4 and a size 6, and this dress was no different. The 4 was tight on the bottom but fit perfectly on top; the 6 was more comfortable on the bottom but loose on top. I ended up going with the 6 because I was feeling a little self-conscious about my bod that night. Other issues: the zipper was awkwardly lumpy, and the liner was shrunken -- both perhaps due to repeated dry-cleaning. And I didn't think it was as sparkly as it looked on the model. Overall, fine but will not rent again.

Shiny, shiny!
I loved these earrings' sharp mix of bold (their large size) and understated (their transparent material). Tres chic. The only problem: the earring backs were a little loose, so I had to adjust them throughout the evening.

Surprisingly odd fit
I wanted so badly to love this dress like everyone else does! The fit was true to size at my waist and hips, but I really struggled with the neckline of this dress. I'm simultaneously high-waisted and small-chested, so there was simply too much fabric above my waist. I wasn't able to find a way around this issue even though this dress is adjustable, theoretically fitting anyone. Coupled with the dress's plunging neckline, this situation drove me to wear a scarf over the dress in case of a wardrobe malfunction. But you don't have the high waist + small chest phenomenon going on, then definitely rent this dress -- it's beautifully made and it seems to fit everyone else out there.

Nice statement piece
This necklace was recommended to complement the dress I'd chosen. A great find, albeit a bit worn.

Worth a second glance!
I got so many compliments on this dress. The lace details make it sneaky-sexy: edgier than it looks at first glance. I wish I'd taken a photo!

A beautiful and comfortable dress for a May wedding
This bright, lacy dress was perfect for a late-spring wedding in Miami. It fit true to size and was comfortable to dance in. The flare at the bottom was perfect for my fuller hips and booty, which present a struggle in some dresses. I had just one complaint: the bottom of the zipper was ever so slightly lumpy. NOTE: Due to dim lighting, the dress is more pink in person than it appears in this photo. The color in RTR's photos rings true.

This dress's top half was too long and tight for me, causing its structured shoulders to hover menacingly an inch above my body.
