Possibly my favorite dress from Rent the Runway so far
I wore this for a graduation and a mother's day brunch and I got so many compliments. If you're worried about the horizontal stripes, don't, the A-line will save you. Great for a lot of body types.

More elegant than the photograph
This looks like a fun party dress in the photo, and it is, but it is surprisingly elegant, too. Slightly pink undertone. Incredible workmanship. The sequins are actually different shapes: squares, circles, triangles, shamrocks, octagons. It has a lot of coverage, really covers yours thighs if you're self-conscious about them. No last minute trip to the store for a different bra, any will work! Got lots complements. Very nice, would recommend.

Arrived broken, went down hill from there.
I think these look a lot nicer in the photograph than they do in real life. The metal is a lot darker in real life, I think. One of the earrings was broken when it arrived. It was fixable but it will need a tool for a more permanent fix. One earring could not stay put. The other one was snug so I think the clasp was loosened or something. It kept slipping and finally fell off so I took them off for the evening. Disappointing.

Blush and Bashful
This is a beautiful, artistic dress. It is definitely fitted around the midsection so don't rent it if you're confident in that area. The other thing I will say is that it is PINK--the scene in Steel Magnolias where the woman says her wedding colors are "blush and bashful" and her mother says "her colors are pink and pink" definitely comes to mind. I love pink, so I was fine with it, but it is more pink than it looked on my browser. But I loved it and I would rent it again.

Dramatic
This is a beautiful, dramatic dress in a nice color. The red has a blue, It's comfortable if you have a long evening ahead of you. It would work well if you're pregnant, however, if you have a big tummy, the empire waist might make you look pregnant even if you're not! That would be my only word of caution.

Dazzling and unique
These are really a work of art. They are heavy (of course) but I didn't mind.
