So classy!
These were amazing! A little less shiny than I was expecting, but overall very beautiful!

AMAZING!!!
This is my favorite rental of all time! This dress is STUNNING! The fabric is incredible and surprisingly light, the cut was perfect and oh so flattering, the pockets were deep enough to hold my walkie-talkie without it showing at all, and I didn't even have to wear a bra! The Regular length skimmed the floor with flats on (5'7") which was perfect because I was working the event (which is also why I only have this one crappy photo from the end of the night-sorry). I sometimes swing between an 8 and 10 in dresses, but the 8 fit perfectly. I got more compliments on this dress than I did on my wedding day. And it was so, so comfortable. RENT THIS DRESS!

More beautiful in person!
I rented these because they were inexpensive and matched my dress well (Finders Keepers Black Solar Dress), but they were much more impressive in person than I was expecting! I was concerned they would look like costume jewelry, but that was not the case at all. The one thing I didn't realize was that the two strands are not connected to each other, but that didn't bother me at all. Would rent again!

Thank goodness for shapewear!
Beautiful dress, comfortable fabric, especially loved the skirt and modest cut-outs! I had to be careful not to drag my sleeves through my food, but otherwise I loved how they looked. A little bit of the liner was visible at the neckline, but I never had to readjust it - just had to be okay with <1cm of liner peeking out the whole time. If I had worn this to a different event I probably would have cared about that, but I didn't mind for the gala I was at, and nobody seemed to notice. My biggest issue was that this dress definitely clings to your entire mid section. I've rented similar dresses that start to flare out at the top of my tummy, but this one didn't loosen up until it hit the very top of my legs. I tried it on when I was super bloated (2nd photo) and felt absolutely pregnant (I actually planned on wearing a different dress), but on the day of the event, my tummy was flat enough that I felt comfortable in it. Actually, if you were pregnant, this might be a great dress to show off your bump! I paired it with the Slate & Willow ombre crystal earrings, which complemented the dress perfectly!

Very light!
I wore these with The Kooples Black Popi Print Dress. They were very light on my ears, and I thought they were big enough to be noticed without being "too big." I don't think they're formal enough for a black tie event, but they worked perfectly for my cocktail attire party!

Very Comfortable!
I rented this dress for a work event on Cinco de Mayo, and it was extremely comfortable and easy to move around in. Even when I lifted my arms above my head, the dress stayed below my shoulders. I never had to readjust the dress during the night, and I took these 2 photos after I had been wearing the dress for 8 hours (please excuse the smudge on my mirror). I'm normally a 10/L in dresses, and the 4 fit perfectly. The 3 fit well in the waist but was a little to tight in the arms. I loved everything about this dress, although I will say that the fabric is not very lustrous, so I personally would not rent this for a very formal event. It worked perfectly for my event though! I rented the Slate & Willow black crystal round drop earrings to go with it.

Beautiful and light!
(Click my second photo to see both of them on my ears) I LOVE these earrings! I was concerned that they would look gaudy in person, but they are really quite elegant, and anyone who noticed them adored them! I was also concerned that they would hurt my ears because of the other reviews that mentioned they were heavy, but I had them in my ears for 7 hours straight, and my ears didn't hurt at all! They were the perfect complement to my simple black and blue dress, and I would highly recommend them!

Rent This Dress!!!
I never wear fitted dresses because I'm insecure about my tummy, but this dress was incredible! I wore compression spandex to smooth out lines, but the dress is perfectly cut to flatter your body! Plus it's incredibly comfortable and classy. I'm 5'7" so I ordered the long, but I think I was sent the regular because it skimmed the floor with flats on. I paired it with black and gold sandals and Ben-Amun's Ronnie Earrings (<highly recommend). I typically wear sizes 8, 10, and 12 in dresses, but I wore a size 6 (44) in this dress, and it was perfect (and still not skin tight)! Definitely order 2 sizes down - it's super stretchy, so there's nothing to worry about. If you're nervous about the length being too short, order the long and tape the hem...because of the material, it wouldn't be noticeable. Seriously try this dress out!

Sleek!
I ended up wearing the other pair of earrings that I rented, but my friend wore these, and she loved them! She said that they weren't heavy at all, and they added the perfect amount of shimmer to her ensemble. They only move at the hinge - the feathers are welded together. They're a little edgier in person that I expected, but still very pretty!

Stunning!
I was hesitant to get these earrings because I was looking for a colorful statement piece, but these were gorgeous! They added so much class and glamour to my outfit, and they would truly go with almost any dress. Not heavy at all - I didn't think about them all night, and I wore them from 4-11pm.

Less impressive in person
I was so excited to receive these unique earrings, and while they certainly are beautiful, but they're less impressive in real life. I uploaded three photos, so that you can get a better idea of how they look on an ear. They're smaller than I expected, and not as shiny. I was looking for something exquisite since my dress is so plain, so I'll be returning these and renting a different pair for my upcoming gala. Truly unique, just not what I'm looking for!

Gorgeous fabric!
I'm 5'7", and this dress (6R) skims the top of my feet barefoot (If I were a half inch shorter, I think it would skim the floor). I'm probably still going to wear it for my event because the poofiness of the skirt almost hides the fact that it's too short. Definitely order down a size or two. I'm normally a 10 (sometimes 8) and this 6 fits perfectly without squeezing into my back at all. I'm not wearing a bra in the photo, but I would definitely recommend wearing a sticky bra for some support. The dress itself is absolutely stunning though! (I wore Monique Lhuillier's Pomegranate Gown for my last event and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a similar look. Fit is slightly different though.)

Wallflower Dress
This was my back up dress for a gala - I didn't wear it and I forgot to snap a picture when I tried it on (Sorry). The length was just right (I'm 5'7" and it hit the floor nicely with flats on), and the waist fit perfectly, but the stitching at the bust pulled (I'm a 34D) and the color & fabric made me feel like I would just blend in with the crowd. Not a bad dress though - just not for me.
