Perfect bachelorette party dress!
The fit of this dress was true to size for me, despite many reviews saying it runs small. I think maybe ladies with bigger chest sizes may have to size up, but for me, my usual size was perfect. It is a bit short, but not so much that you need to pull it down all night; it stays in place well. The cutout on the front was the perfect detail to set the dress apart from 'just another white dress'. I received compliments all night from friends and strangers alike. :)

Sparkle!!
These earrings were great! They added a pop to the outfit without being tacky or over the top. They were also super lightweight, so I wore them comfortably all night long.

Pretty in lavender.
This dress was a bit of a change of pace for me. I usually choose 'standouts', but this was a simple, pretty, lace dress. It fit very well, though the sleeves are a little snug and don't have any 'give'. I usually wear a 2/4, and chose the 2 in this dress. Got plenty of compliments, and it was appropriate for a daytime wedding, but not sure I would rent this one again.

Pretty and delicate
This was a pretty bangle, and was exactly what I was looking for to accessorize my outfit. With that said, the fit was a *little* funky. I have tiny wrists, but the bangle sat sort of crooked, naturally. I liked it and would rent again, but I wasn't "in love" with it.

2.7 seconds to my first, of many, compliments!
My boyfriend and I walked into the wedding we were attending, and the first person (male) who we saw said to me, "I love your dress", then turned to my boyfriend and said, "You girl is smoking!". That's pretty much how the evening went. I had three events to go to this weekend, and rented 3 dresses, but I wore this one to each. I dressed it up for the wedding with some gold accessories and heels, but dressed it down for a daytime concert event with some flats and a cardigan. Everywhere we went, people wanted to know where I had gotten the dress and told me I looked stunning (which is always nice to hear ;) The dress is a thick material, and it's stretchy, so it hugs every curve that you want to accentuate and hides every curve that you definitely do not want to accentuate. The sleeves are a little tight in the armpit, despite size (small or medium); I really could have gone either way with regard to which size I wore, but I ended up going with the small because it was a little bit shorter (hey, why not?) and it fit me a bit more snugly so the fabric didn't bunch up like it did with the medium. I thought it would be a bit scratchy because of the sparkly red part of the dress, but it wasn't. It was totally comfortable. The only - and I do mean only - downside was that it sort of rode up a bit as I wore it. I found myself pulling the medium down a lot more than the small; maybe because the small was a bit tighter, it stayed in place better. It never got to the point where it was dangerously, or inappropriately short, but I could still feel it getting ... draftier. Love love love this dress. I want to keep it, but I think RTR frowns upon such things ...

Very cute, classy, sophisticated.
I ended up not wearing this dress, but it was adorable. Sleeves were a little uncomfortable, but the length and fit of this dress otherwise was perfect. This would be great for an evening wedding or formal party. I was going to a daytime concert event and felt this would have been a little too dressy.

Versatile accessory.
This bracelet was great. I actually wore it to work the Friday that it arrived to me with some jeans and a basic white tee, and it added a nice 'pop' to the outfit. It has a hinge on one side to make putting it on/taking it off easier, but I didn't need it. In fact, at one point, it actually fell off of my wrist, so be careful if you have smaller arms. I also wore this to a wedding, which is the reason I rented it. This with some gold drop earrings and a red dress made for an eye catching outfit. Loved this bracelet. The only downside, like I said, might be that it could fall off if you're not careful.

Felt kind of cheap
I loved the color, but ended up not wearing this dress. I had ordered a small with a medium as my backup size, but I think I would have needed an extra small to feel comfortable in this dress. The bottom part, where it should be tighter, was a little loose. It's cute for a casual party or event, but the material felt a little cheap for the event I had rented it for. I felt like I would have been under dressed. Also, it's good for small chested girls. You can go braless! I guess larger chested girls could do one of those backless bras, but that sounds like a lot of work :) Not a bad dress, just not what I was looking for.

Gorgeous!!
I. Love. These! I don't wear earrings. Ever, really. So when I showed up in THESE, everyone was shocked. The original earrings that I had chosen to rent were returned damaged by the user before me, so to my advantage, I was allowed to choose any accessory I wanted to replace them, regardless of cost. These were a MAJOR upgrade, and totally not my typical style, but like I said, I loved them. These didn't feel too heavy, despite their size. I feel like sometimes larger earrings pull at your earlobe and look awkward, but these didn't do that at all. They were comfortable, stayed snugly in place throughout my event, and had just enough sparkle to catch your eye without being gaudy or obnoxious. I wore these to a wedding, and would definitely rent them again.
