My work party is black tie optional, so you really do get a mix: some people in cocktail dresses and others in gowns. I went for the gown because - y'all, it's been a rough few years and I just wanted to get all dressed up! I'm so glad I did, because I got so many compliments! The dress is a very unique color. It looks silver from far away, but I'd say gold jewelry goes better. I chose black and red pumps to go with it. I LOVE the pop of color in the lining! TTS, and comfortable to wear. A+

Love! The fabric felt luxurious and was a beautiful color. The dress has pockets, and the length was quite long in the back, which made it feel a bit more upscale. I had to go up a size in the fit because it was quite tight around the rib cage. Also, if you have a small bust like me, be aware that you'll likely need a strapless bra to give some dimension (a common problem for this style of strapless, so I wasn't surprised). It does have a built-in bra though. I got tons of compliments!

I loved this dress overall - beautiful color, plenty of pop, and really fun. I had a friend comment that you might need to have a certain body type to look good in it - I think if you have bigger arms/shoulders, it might not be he most flattering, but I think it worked well for my frame. The fit that didn't work for me, however, was the bust. Since it’s lace, it's a fitted bust with no stretch. I’m an A cup and did not fill it out, which left the top looking somewhat deflated. I would not recommend this for another A cup person, unless you have a very good push up bra. But for B or C cups, i bet this would be great.

This dress was perfect for my black-tie-optional work Christmas party. My office Christmas party was held at a museum, and everyone goes all out for the party, so I knew I wanted to wear a long dress. When I came across this one on the app, I knew I had to get it because the red was so festive. The dress itself was actually incredibly comfortable. The zipper took a tiny bit of wiggling to get up, but nothing to be concerned about. I went with the long length since so many recommended going with the long length if you're tall. It was a tiny bit long on me, but I managed not to trip on it. The fit honestly was perfect for me. If you are larger up top I could see that it might be a little bit tight, but I had no issues with that. The one shoulder was a good length, too. I wore one of those sticky bras underneath, but a regular strapless bra would work just fine. Overall, I can't imagine being happier with a dress choice for this work event.

I wore this dress for my first ever trip to Vegas and I had SUCH A BLAST. I loved the glitz and glam of Vegas, and this dress perfectly exemplified the extravagant fun that we had. I normally wear a 6, and I ended up wearing the 6, so I think it fits true to size. It's kind of a stretchy material, so that allows more flexibility in the fit, which is great. I'm on the tall side and have a bit of a booty, so I always worry about the length of short dresses, but this was no problem at all - it was the perfect length. I could see if you are shorter, it would maybe be on the long side. I was pleased that the sequin fabric wasn't scratchy or itchy, too. Overall, I was very happy with this dress, and would definitely recommend it for a party, vacation, or night out.

This top was perfect for a night out to dinner. I wore this out one night when I was in Vegas. I wore it with jeans and sandals, but I could have dressed it up with nicer pants and heels if I'd wanted to. The sleeves are so much fun, and it's a really fun, "different" thing to wear other than a dress. I rented this kind of on a whim since I was renting a dress on RTR for my other night in Vegas, and I'm glad I did. There were a few things about the fit that are worth mentioning. Firstly, the sleeves are ties, so it's basically impossible to put on by yourself, and you have to play around with getting the height right. My husband did fine with it, I think, but it took a little while to figure out. My bust is on the smaller side, and I don't think this top really fit me that great, or at least, I bet it would have fit someone with a bit larger breasts better. In my photo you can see some puckering, like I couldn't 'fill it out'. The fit on the bust is the main reason I docked it a star. There was an overhang of the lining on the inside by about 2 inches, so on me, you could see the texture of the lining, kind of like a line that went right across my boobs. You can see the line in the picture too. These small fit issues would mean that I wouldn't have purchased the top, but for a rental, it was still fun and it worked for me.
