Perfect amount of bling!
I loved wearing these earrings because they were not too big for a wedding and not too glitzy that I felt over the top. Comfortable and festive!

LOVED IT!
I rented this dress for my brother's wedding and I was so happy with it after some Spanx and fashion tape:) If I were to rent again, I would have gone with a size 12 or even a 12P, since I wished a little more of my 3.5" heels had shown. As everyone says, the straps are pretty long- although I don't agree that it's because they're stretched out (I think they're just long straps). The big pros of this dress are that the lace is beautiful and intricate, the shape is incredibly forgiving and flattering, and the comfort level was AWESOME! The zipper that everyone was mentioning is definitely a little tricky, but I ended up zipping it up while it was down around my waist and then just pulling it up. It worked perfectly! I also added a black lace flower to the strap, which I thought added a cute little detail. Other than the straps being long, I feel that this dress was perfect for this event. I definitely hope to re-rent this one! Thanks to RTR for the incredible customer service and for helping me to feel good at the wedding!!

LOVED IT!
I loved this bracelet and was so sad to send it back- really! It added the perfect amount of vintage old hollywood to my outfit, and was perfectly sparkly without looking cheap or tacky. Because of the dark metal, it really does look so elegant and high-quality. I also really liked the fact that it is slightly adjustable, so it can be worn higher up on the arm or lower on the wrist. Definitely a great accessory to any outfit!

Not the most flattering on me, but beautiful details
I rented this dress for the rehearsal dinner before my brother's wedding but, unfortunately, did not end up wearing it. The detailing is very nice and true to the picture, but the fit was not great over the bust area. Additionally, because of this, it's really hard to keep the pleats hanging straight down, which kind of bothered me. It's a lovely dress but wasn't great on my frame. As others have said, the color is stunning!

Runs so large, but BEAUTIFUL dress!
I rented this as a replacement dress for the original dress I ordered for my brother's wedding. Kathryn (Catherine?:) at RTR was amazing in helping me get one shipped to the hotel the very next day. THANK YOU for that, RTR!! Unfortunately, even though I ordered a size down, it was still way too big too big to wear. I generally wear a 10 (sometimes a 12 if designer) and I honestly believe I could have worn an 8. That said, the fabric is beautiful, the one shoulder detail had very good structure and was true to the picture. For another occasion and in the right size, this would have been a knockout!

Perfect for a 20's themed auction gala!
I rented this purse as a last minute accessory, and could not have been more pleased with both the experience and the purse! The purse arrived in perfect condition and added the perfect finishing touch to my subtly Gatsby-esqe outfit. I wore a lace cocktail length dress and focused mostly on hair and makeup to fit the theme since I wasn't in the mood for long pearls and a headband. It is a fun clutch to carry and a great addition to my night! I am including up-close pictures because the details are what make this bag. Also, there is a clear layer over the entire bag which gives it a little bit of a reflective quality. Thanks RTR!

PRO is a great value!
I think that PRO is a great deal if you are planning to rent more than once, which is the case for me, as I have already booked two dresses for April. I can see myself getting hooked on RTR, and paired with the great customer service I've already experienced, it is totally worth it to join PRO!
