I became so in love with this Gorjana necklace that upon coming home from my wedding weekend, I scoured the web to purchase it for myself! Be warned, though, it does easily become tangled. As an inpatient person who EASILY gets frustrated with tangles, it was managable however and it didn't tangle once it was secured around my neck. This necklace is perfect for a little gold touch and bling (little crystal are on each dangle) to any deep plunge or spaghetti strap look, as it intrigues the eyes downward while filling up the chest area. This necklace would be PERFECT as the go-to for a simple v-neck t-shirt, tank, gown, you name it. Note: I paired with the solar flare earrings.

By some happenstance, my second size was unavailable in my first gown choice. True to amazing RTR customer service, they provided me with one size in this beautiful Badgley gown as my "backup" dress of choice. What happens when you're so enamored with both gowns!? YOU WEAR BOTH. I changed into this following the wedding ceremony, as the temps starting dipping down and the sun set and the partying was about to go down! Though it is called "ombre", I did not notice this to be the case. To me it appeared as a standard navy sequin. I felt like I could have downsized to a 2 and it would've felt more form fitting. Perhaps it's the V cut of the chest and/or the ruching at the hip, but I feared in some ways that the cut was matronly... The gown makes up for it with the sexy slit, though I still felt like I looked a little heavier. Standing at 5'8" flat, I ordered the L. If in doubt, order the L, ladies. I ended up wearing flats for comfort but could've down heels with the hem of the dress then just grazing the top of the heel. Even in flats, the dress wasn't so garishly long that I felt like I was tripping or was going to induce ripping incidents. Dancing, however, is another story. I felt like people were stepping on it or that I was whipping the train to the point of damage.

By some happenstance, my second size was unavailable. True to amazing RTR customer service, they provided me with one size in this beautiful Shelli Segal gown as my first choice and one size in any other gown of my choice. What happens when you're so enamored with both gowns!? YOU WEAR BOTH. This gown is more of a flamingo pink than a coral as described. I wore it to a fall wedding, thinking the coral would make a pass as autumnal. It worked and looked breathtaking with the sunset! As other reviewers have stated, you WILL need fashion tape. I secured myself with two pieces at chest, two piece up top on the chest straps and two diagonals at the back and didn't feel like I was falling out. Standing at 5'8" flat, I ordered the L. If in doubt, order the L, ladies. I ended up wearing flats for comfort but could've down heels with the hem of the dress then just grazing the top of the heel. Even in flats, the dress wasn't so garishly long that I felt like I was tripping or was going to induce ripping incidents.

This dress has a nice stretch quality to it that makes it comfortable; however, that said, it could also potentially show any flaws due to its tight fitting nature! It does ride up a bit but I never found myself reaching dangerous territory of flashing. I would definitely order this dress again, and in other colors too if E&J ever made available!

I rented this for my bff's bridal shower. I have a habit of wearing items the untraditional way, so I quickly found myself trying to reinvent this dress. Not that it needed to- as its a stunning dress as is, but I found if I slipped it on backwards it provided a sexy plunging neckline accommodating for my 32b frame. Bustier ladies might not be able to get away with this! Wearing it backwards also revealed the silver zipper; I liked this look and didn't find it out of place! I felt like a supermodel all day. The bride even told me her family kept commenting on how breathtakingly gorgeous I looked. The dress material is of a heavier tweed material that was perfect for the chillier weather, though it did get a bit toastier in doors. In photos it looks shorter than it was - it was just a tad over the knee, which for me was okay because the sexiness of the plunging neckline was already there! I paired with the Slate and Willow clipons to complete the edgy look.

I love love love these! I didn't want to return them when it was time. I rented them for a bridal shower. Though I really wanted an ear jacket or cuff I 'settled' for these pretty clip-ons to wear as normal on my earlobes. I quickly discovered that I could clip one to my cartilage for an ear cuff look. It didn't pinch or hurt. I got compliment after compliment on my edgy statement. No necklace was needed with this kind of stand out!

I'd been eyeing this dress in my Shortlist for quite some time. I ordered it in anticipation to wear to my annual Nutcracker outing, wherein me and my mom or me and my friends dress up in black tie/opera regala and go out on the town for a night. Unfortunately, I was unable to wear this dress. I am a true size 8 and was blessed with curvier hips and thighs. This dress style is more of a sheath style that runs straight down - perfect for girls who are straight up and down or with slight curves. The 8 was snug in the hips and thighs, but big in the chest/abdomen area. I called RTR immediately upon receipt of the dress and Katie was SO helpful in finding me a replacement. I probably gave her a headache in the process of trying to nail down my style/what I was going for in shopping for a dress, but we did narrow it down to one that she found to be AVAILABLE in time for my event!! This just shows you how impeccable RTR's customer service is. They are willing to work with you because they WANT your evening to be memorable. Hopefully with my new dress it will be memorable but so will RTR's impeccable, top notch customer service.

Completely flattering dress! I wore this to a friend's wedding AND to my college graduation. As the other reviews suggest, the colors are even more beautiful and vivid in person. Note: the belt is NOT silver. It's gold, which I happened to like even more (it added a touch of sophistication). Thanks to this dress, I got many compliments and now LOVE the one-shoulder style dresses. This was my first rental from RTR and I will continue!
