Elegant, especially when you walk
This was a nice gown. I especially liked how the lace swirled around when I walked. The nude layer underneath was longer than the lace overlay so I found myself yanking it down a little throughout the evening. One of the stays inside was also poking me a little. I think it's just a dress that's seen better days but it was little details no one else noticed but me.

Nice but not wow
This is a nice dress but I was really hoping the blouson effect would be more blousy-- it was pretty tight across the bust for a blouson.

Simple yet stunning
This dress is understated in its design yet stunning in its execution. It made me feel so beautiful! The fabric is a great thickness-- not too thick as to be bulky but thick enough to smooth out everything. The 10 was just a smidge too snug in the bust area so I went with the 12, which meant the lower part was just a little roomy (not a deal breaker by any means but I liked the way the 10 fit the lower part of my body better). In all, I felt elegant and sophisticated and walked around like I owned the room in this dress. Don't underestimate its beauty!

Pretty but not unique
I rented this as a safe backup for a wedding I was attending since my first choice was backless. This fit nicely and was stretchy so I feel like it was a good choice if I was having a "fat day." It's a beautiful dress but I went with my first choice and I'm glad I did because several women at this wedding were wearing very similar dresses in other colors. For renting a designer dress, I prefer something a bit more unique.

Classy in lace
The material is thicker than I expected it, even the lace. So the center plunging lace detail isn't overly showy-- I had to wear an adhesive bra and the inner edges showed when the sun shone directly on me but otherwise, you couldn't tell. It was a little more roomy than I thought it would be, especially not as fitted through the skirt as I was hoping. Overall, it was gorgeous and classy and I loved it, but wish I would have also rented a 10 because it felt just a bit big, especially when I sat down.

Lovely lace
This is a very pretty dress. Very rich color, good quality fabric. It ran a little shorter than I expected but not overly short. It fit beautifully-- I think pretty true to size. I mean, it's a lovely dress and I have nothing bad to say about it but it wasn't a true stunner like some of the others I've rented.

Unique and classy
I am post-partum so I admit, I probably am up a size from my usual so the 12 zipped but was pretty snug around my bust and midsection. I ended up buying nude spanx just to give myself a little more room but honestly, since it's an A-line silhouette, it didn't really do much. Plenty of room for wide hips and some tummy, just snug through the ribcage. As a fuller-busted girl, the sheer panel was a little challenging because the bottom of my strapless bra showed if I didn't keep hiking it up. I ended up wearing a black one so when it was showing, it wasn't that noticeable. Plenty of room in the arms for movement, though with the sheer panel, I was hesitant to raise my arms up fully, lest my boobs fall out the bottom. All in all, lots of compliment a and felt good in it.

Amazing on your ears!
These earrings are so beautiful and unique! They don't do themselves justice in photos or even sitting in the box. I got these as a bonus surprise buy and was skeptical when I saw them in the box when they arrived. I debated even not wearing them. But once I put them on, I didn't want to ever return them!
