These are head turning earrings!
As I was browsing accessories I came upon these hummingbird earrings and got so excited. They are so cute and will garner so many compliments when you wear them. They are about two inches long but are super light, I did not notice them as I wore them. I would buy these if I could, would highly recommend a rental as they would add some flair to any outfit.

Backup dress for the win!
This was a last-minute backup dress selection, as my original dress was unavailable. I was super nervous about it as I chose one size smaller than I usually wear in this designer due to my larger chest. I was happy to find the dress fit perfectly; I had no issues with the chest, waist or sleeves. I was comfortable and felt gorgeous!

Gorgeous and classy dress
I rented this gown for a black tie wedding. I was nervous at first because I'm rather short (5'2") and feared the gown would be too long. The outer draping is indeed long, it just touched the ground with wearing high heels, but flowed beautifully and I never feared I'd trip on it. The details on the back are just amazing. I wore a sticky bra to keep my chest in place but I think a lot of women would be ok to skip a bra entirely, as the stretchy top material is thick enough to not be too revealing.

Lovely for an outdoor wedding
I loved this dress. I attended an outdoor wedding in the summer and still felt comfortable. I sized up because the waist felt tight and I breathed easier in the larger size, although the top's stretchy material is great for larger bust sizes.

A Fabulous Dress!
I'm a tried and true size 8 in dresses but from other reviewers and suggestions I saw to try one size down. The size 6 did fit me as well but I felt more comfortable spending all day in an 8 for a Thanksgiving party. I needed that extra bit of room for all the food! The dress was a really beautiful purple. I had enough room with the sleeves to move my arms and the dress didn't hike up when I sat down. I'd definitely consider renting this one again!

The perfect handbag for any occasion!
I loved this bag. There is a gold-detailed strap that can be easily tucked in the bag to use as a clutch, or you can use the strap, with a cloth material at the top to prevent snagging on clothes or hair. I did not want to return this bag. It fit so much and since the material was soft it held everything with no problem. I would definitely rent this bag again!

Another win from RTR!
I truly loved this dress. When I first tried on the size 8, I didn't think it was going to zipper up. You might need an extra set of hands to help you. The dress fit perfectly. The length was great, and the chest area was OK for me (notice to bigger chested ladies....this will be very tight for you). The dress came with a snap-on belt, and it was adorable. You do not have to wear it though. The disappointing aspect of the dress: the slip material that lined the dress had been stretched and worn from other rentals, it was constantly slipping down around the chest area. I felt like I had to constantly adjust the liner to make sure I didn't have a wardrobe malfunction. Additionally, I would not suggest wearing a bracelet that might snag on the dress.

Excellent for summer!
I loved this dress! The colors were amazing and the gold embellishments were adorable. The fit was excellent, it hit right above my knees. I'm pretty busty so wearing a strapless bra would have been kind of tight, so I opted to wear a NuBra just to have a little protection. I could have gone braless and it would have been fine. The dress up top is structured enough to allow this.

Gone Wild Dress

Way too long to wear
This was my backup dress, and I didn't end up wearing it. The dress fit perfectly up top, it was the length that was an issue. The inner layer of the dress was at a perfect length when wearing heels. The outer chiffon layer was at least 6 inches longer and incredibly voluminous. I thought of possibly using double sided tape to hoist it up but the top layer wasn't circular but cut in a wavy pattern, so any alteration would have looked ridiculous. I was disappointed because the dress was a beautiful pink and fit wonderfully. Just wish that top layer was flush with the bottom layer. Beware short girls!

A beautiful dress, but way too long!
When I rented this dress, it was a big risk since there were no reviews for it yet. I was going to a black tie wedding, so I needed a long gown. Being 5'2" is a huge problem when finding long dresses. The dress fit perfectly, and was pretty comfortable, but the length was way too long, even in 4" heels. Girls 5'5'' and taller will be fine, but beware short girls! I had to gather the dress material when I needed to make 1 step, not to mention I couldn't dance as I wanted to, especially fearing someone would step on me and rip the dress. Big big drawback. I did get lots of compliments, the dress is a beautiful color and I loved the optional belt. I just wish there were petite sizes for the short girls out there.

This was a most dramatic and beautiful necklace!
I rented this necklace as it was suggested as an accessory to my dress. I'm so glad I picked it up! It went perfectly with my outfit, and matched the belt on my dress. It added a little sexiness. I used a dot of double sided tape in the center and it held all night. I wish I could have kept it!

The way I felt wearing it!
I rented this dress for my rehearsal dinner. It is a more creamy color, but the design shined beautifully. I wish the halter top had a better closure, because I felt the whole top part was saggy. I had to have basically a whole inch cinched at the back to ensure I didn't have side boob. There is no way you can wear a bra with this dress, so make sure you have the NuBra or something similar.

disappointing
Absolutely stunning color but I couldn't wear this. It was so tight around my hips! Not for hour glass shapes!

Getting compliments on the dress!
I enjoyed wearing this dress to an evening wedding. The ruffles were definitely different but weren't too odd or distracting. The fabric is pretty thin so would be OK in warmer weather. The dress fit perfectly, but the elastic waist might have made my middle look larger. I find problems with dresses in my hip area but this flowed nicely, and didn't ride up too high when sitting.

Fun dress, got compliments at the fun sparkles!
I usually wear an 8, but the 6 fit well. The material is stretchy and must have been stretched over different wearings, because it hit at my knees. I could have pinned it but it would have been a hassle. I did pin at the bust (I'm very busty) to keep the girls in line. I did receive compliments on the sparkles, and it was indeed a comfy dress, considering all the sequins.
