Very lightweight, and as such, I feel like they're cheap. But hiding under all my hair, they have enough size and the stones are pretty without being glitzy, they worked.

I always have trouble with cuffs because I have pretty large hands, and can't get them over. However, this cuff had a hinge that allies you to open it and clamp it around your wrist. I'm not sure this is a great piece for a formal event. It's lightweight and comfortable, but not enough of s statement for formalwear.

This purse is the perfect elegant piece for your formal affair. The gold looks great, but what really makes it stand out is the snakeskin texture. Unique, looks expensive, and the size allows you to keep your iPhone 6, a lipstick and eyeliner, credit card, license and a key with you. Perfect.

This dress is beautiful. It's two layers; a burnished gold lace overlayed against a black lining. The effect is dramatic. The neckline, back, and fit create a stunning silhouette. Unfortunately, there is no stretch to this dress, but in this case, that was fine. I usually wear a 6, but when I tried the 4 versus the 6, my husband said "no question!" I wore the 4. The 4 was in better condition, too. The six had some tears and opened seams, though the four had a torn lining. The torn lining didn't matter at all because it was on the skirt if the dress, and with black Spanx, no one could tell where the dress ended and the Spanx started. I really wish the dress were longer. I'm 5'8" and wore 4-5" platform heels, and my entire shoe was visible. If it came in a long, I'd rent again.

I wore this to The Magic Castle, a members-only dinner theatre in the West Hollywood. The dress code is business suits and tuxedos for men, gowns or cocktail dresses for women. It's strict. I took a chance on a jumpsuit, but I know Blumarine is an elegant brand and I expected exceptional style, high quality material and craftsmanship. This jumpsuit did not disappoint. The color is fabulous, and is that hot pink with blue undertones that looks great on everyone. I typically wear a size 6, so I got the 44R, and based on reviews, a 46R as the back-up. The 46 was just slightly too big. The 44 had a better overall fit. I have a long torso, but it still fit beautifully. There was a little bit of a gap in the small of my back, but not that big of a deal because there were pockets, and the drape just gave it a cool, fashion-y vibe. I went without a bra, because the drape in front allowed me to. The keyhole in the back would probably allow you to wear a regular bra. I wore Spanx just to get a smoother line across my backside. I styled it with gorgeous royal blue suede high heeled sandals with an ankle strap and gold accents; the hem hits right be the ankle for me, so this is an opportunity to show off a pretty ankle strap. I also wore a statement bib necklace in multi shades of blue tones. Lastly, I carried a gold minaudière. Awesome outfit. Shows off toned arms and a taut butt. Lengthens and slims. The draping offers coverage, yet still looks sexy and moves beautifully. I'll rent this again. I wish there was a drawstring in the waist to cinch in that gap in my lower back, so that was the reason for only 4 stars. Enjoy!

This is a great Fit and Flare dress, and very flattering. I rented a size 6 and a 4, and found the 4 to be too high waisted, short, and caused some sausage-style squeezing in front of my shoulders/chest which was unflattering. So, though the 6 was a little too big in the waist for me, the length was much more flattering, the waist hit me in the right spot, and there was enough room in the chest/shoulder area. The top of the dress isn't quite a halter, but it angles in toward the neck, so if you have a fatty chest, you'll want to size up or skip this dress style altogether. I typically like a deeper neckline, but with a necklace, this looked great and I got a ton of compliments. I wore it to a Wild West style event, with a long multi strand teal colored fabric necklace, blue denim jacket, brown and turquoise cowboy boots, a brown suede cowboy hat and a Dior saddle bag purse. I also wore a large pink diamond ring, and a hot pink watch. Cowgirl elegance at it's most exquisite, if I do say so myself. Be warned, the dress zips halfway up the back, then there is a keyhole opening that buttons at the nape. With the inward angle on the front, you can't wear a regular bra, and you can't wear a racer back, strapless or halter style bra because it will show in the back. The color is a corally hot pink, with gold, and a dusty blue on the bottom. The material is fairly heavy so you don't need to worry about panty lines or nipples popping through; it's pretty forgiving. I'd rent it again, and after two great successes with Tracy Reese, I'm a big fan now!

The last thing I'd want to do is upstage the bride, but at least I upstaged everyone else! This is a gorgeous dress, beautifully made, comfortable to wear (I squeezed into a four, because I just felt more secure in a strapless in the four than in the six; I just had a double mastectomy, so I'm down from a C to an A cup right now). The shape is elegant and very feminine. I love that it has pockets. I'm nearly 5'8" and went with the 4R, which still grazed the floor even in 4" Prada sandals. The only problem I really had was walking from the church to the reception in the city, with the wind at my back, as it pushed the train against my shoes and I got caught on the inside of the dress a couple of times. I had to hold the train up more than I'd have liked too. If I were indoors for the entire event, or perhaps for a gala with no dancing, and 4" platforms, I would have chosen perhaps the 4L. Fabulous dress! I'm kind of surprised the train isn't lined, since you can clearly see the backside of the material, but this is the lesses expensive Llullier line, so I guess that's why it's relatively inexpensive.

I might as well just buy this dress. It looked way better in me than even on the model! Wish I had some pictures to prove it. Lol! I have a long torso, so dresses that have a waistband usually hit me way too high. This dress defined my waist, was a great length that hit me right at my knees (I'm almost 5'8"), has straps that would conceal a thinner strapped bra (though I didn't need one), and it has POCKETS!! The color is so cheery and summery, looks great against my Mediterranean skin. Here's the kicker: I just had a double mastectomy, so I needed something with substantial bulk to the material, and that would give me a feminine shape. The material is fairly hefty, but I was more than comfortable in 85 degrees and sunny at the Sonoma winery in August for the rehearsal dinner. I rented it as a back up for a wedding, but when my rehearsal dinner dresses didn't work out, I wore it to the BBQ. I loved how beautiful this dress made me feel, especially after everything I've been through recently. The size 6 was a little loose on me. If I actually wore it for a more formal event, perhaps it would have preferred a four just to have a more form fitting shape.

This dress fit like it was my 5 year old daughter's dress. I have a long torso, so anything with a waistline always hits me at the wrong place, and too high for me. I should have remembered that, but I was looking for a blue/green dress that would look cute with my cowboy boots for a particular event. This was not it. It was silkier and shinier than I expected, so not really a great choice for a casual rehearsal dinner at a country winery. BTW, it is insanely short. I'm nearly 5'8" and I don't think I would have been able to sit without my booty on the chair (yuck), or lean over the buffet table. This is a pretty dress, but probably only appropriate for a very slim figure with thin legs and a very small bust. I sent it back right away and was issued a merchandise credit. But if I did wear this, I would have worn the size 6.

Size 7 fit nicely on my right ring finger. I was looking for a gold ring, and options were few for my particular date. I found this to be a unique piece, but it went completely unnoticed. I wasted $30. I didn't want a lot of bling , but I did want something notable. I won't be renting this again, unless it cost $5-10 and my gold ring options were, again, limited. Meh.

I have larger wrists, and cuffs or bangles rarely work for me. I loved the links, which gave it slight movement, but felt very well made and secure. I wore a very delicate fabric, and it was not a problem, no snagging. The gold is bright and fresh, the turquoise marble inlays look great, especially against a summery shade like coral. I would recommend this to anyone attending a summer beach wedding or cocktail party. Would definitely rent again, or buy!

This dress is spectacular! The style and fit were perfect! I tried two other Legers (Golden Eye and Mind Boggling), and this was my favorite. Husbands, too. The dress is a little short for me, and I hate hate my legs, but overall, I felt amazing. There was plenty of support, but my breasts did seem a little flattened out. Be sure not to eat all day, haha. Or at least do a 3 day cleanse from The Plan to lose some water weight if you have a bit of belly; you can't wear Spanx or a bra. But I'll definitely rent this again some day. It's perfect for Vegas: out there, sexy and just the right amount of glamourous.

I loved wearing this dress. I felt sexy, but not garish. It's a perfect dress for a Las Vegas getaway, though I don't think it would fit in well in San Francisco, or other conservative towns. The color in the photo is not very accurate. It's not a shiny gold like it shows, and it's more of a matte beige/bronze. It's still really beautiful, but it's not as formal as I had expected; just warning you. I still wore my gold Louboutins, but that's only because my other shoes I brought didn't work as well. I'm a normal size 8, with a 36D, and I felt supported, uplifted (they're pretty up anyway, though), and sucked in. I'd definitely rent this dress again, or other Leger's. Love it! Four stars just because I didn't think the photo color accurately described the dress.

I found this dress to be incredibly flattering. My husband loved it, too! But you do need to be ready to get some ooggling eyes from the men, and certainly some jealous glares from the women. Heehee!! I tried two other Herve Leger wrap dresses (Golden Eye, and Stop and Stare), and this one had the least amount of support up top; after trying other dresses, I thought perhaps this one is just stretched out, but the straps are much thinner and the cross-over only has moderate support, comparatively speaking. You definitely can not wear a bra, or spanx for that matter. I'm a 36D, and I think it would probably still work for a DD/E, but probably not if you're bigger than that. I usually wear a size 8, and the medium fit beautifully. Unlike the other dresses I tried, you can get this on without someone to help you zip it up, as the zipper stops at the small of the back; some others go all the way to the knee, which means you need someone to assist you in and out. I wore it to Las Vegas for a getaway with my husband, and it fits in perfectly with even the most sophisticated restaurants in town!

Drapes beautifully, this high quality silk jersey gown is great if you're headed to an event with a suitcase in hand. The dress won't wrinkle, or maybe it will a little on the bottom, so just hang it for the day of your event and it will be fine. Don't get a necklace, like in the photo, it's not needed; but a very big bold cuff and a ring will work great. This covers a lot of personal flaws, but I got away with the high waist cincher Spanx that go down to the knees, and no bra. There is a little built in support, so that helps. Seems true to size. I'm 5'8", 148 lbs, 34D, can usually wear a 4 or a 6 depending upon the cut. I got this in a 4 and a 6, but wore the 6 as the top of the dress was a little tight and pucked my skin a bit. There is no zipper, so you'll need to pour yourself in to the dress, and err on the side of ordering a larger one than a smaller one. The color is a very dark midnight blue. If your event will be very dark inside, like mine was, don't expect the dress to show up in photographs. In hindsight, I wish I had gotten something a little more sparkly. I felt like I vanished once the dance floor opened up. But it's a great dress, gorgeous style, flattering, quality, incredibly comfortable, fuss free, and the perfect length. Silver shoes and accessories will help liven it up.

These were sent to me as a replacement for the gold adonis hoops, which were out for repair. That's too bad, because they look nothing like the style hoops I selected. That being said, at least these weren't damaged. I just don't find them particularly attractive. If I were wearing a long, floral, delicate, flowy dress, they'd be more appropriate. But I was wearing a sleek, black, Roberto Cavalli gown with a gold snake at the waist. Not THAT would have been a bad look.

This is a beautifully detailed, high-luxury dress. Oddly, the back of the skirt is unlined, just a single layer of silk, so it was crazy staticky and I had to excuse myself to the rest room frequently to run a dryer sheet along my bum. The front f the skirt is very ruffled and layered, so it amplifies the hip, even if that's not a trouble spot for you. It's still attractive, but if it hits you too high because you have a long torso like I do, even your flat tummy will look puffy. You can't wear a bra, so expect to wear nipple covers or NuBra half-cutlets if you are concerned about coverage. This is truly a lovely dress, but just wasn't right on me.

I normally wear a 4 or a 6, or a 42. I got this in a 42R as my back up dress. I'm nearly 5'8", and with my heels, I'm 5'11". It was the perfect length. I'm also very toned, and after having twins, sensitive to any kind of bulk around my waist. Even though I have zero percent belly fat, the pleating on this dress made me look too heavy in my hips. The model is standing a bit to the side, but I bet if she were standing straight forward, this dress wouldn't look that great. With that said, it's very drapey, and if you're very small in the waist and hips, the pleating might actually balance your figure. The quality of material and design is second to none. It's comfortable and gorgeous, and incredibly appropriate for your most elegant, high-end affair. I, however, went with my first choice dress and didn't wear this to my event.

I feel like I'm the first person to rent this. OMG, it's STUNNING! It had a couple of spots on it, that wiped off with my finger and a little cloth, but it still had the authenticity card from Carlos Falchi and looks great. I was suprised to fit in: my iPhone, key chain with my front door fob, garage door fob, front door key, credit card, driver's license, two lip glosses, an eye liner and a smudge brush. Even though it's super narrow, barely the width of my wrist, it fit a lot. It doesn't have an inside pocket though, which was suprising, so don't overload it or you'll lose something you can't afford to lose, like your license. The snake material is gorgeous, and compares beautifully to my other authentic python accessories from Gucci and Roberto Cavalli. The rhinestones are designed elegantly. The color is perfect to wear with anything from white, silvers, grays, navies, blacks, etc. I LOVE this and will definitely consider renting it again! And again!

But I was wearing a sleek, black, Roberto Cavalli gown with a gold snake at the waist. Not THAT would have been a bad look.

The cuff is actually not as matte as it appears in the photograph. It's actually very high shine. That being said, if your going to a high-end social black tie gala, this might be a little low end, especially if everyone else in attendance is wearing the real thing. The cuff also seemed a little on the small side. I ended up wearing it, just to edge up my dress a bit (Yigal Azrouel Arcadia gown), but wore it with rare gems. It was cute, so I also wore it with a sweater and jeans out to lunch the next day, and got more compliments then.

I was dying to wear these. They are the only really contemporary, big, gold, non-rhinestoney earrings RtR has. Unfortunately, 85 minutes before UPS was to pick them up to ship to me, I received an email from RtR to say that they were too damaged to send, and if I didn't call back before 6pm EST, they'd pick something else for me. Now, WHY WHY WHY would you replace these gold hoops with rhinestone flower dangling earrings set in bronze? They did not even remotely come close to matching the style of my dress, or the other jewelry that was sent to me because my entire order was "out for repair". How did they not know before that they were out for repair? Don't they have a computer to keep track of that as the damaged jewelry comes back from other members? Seems like someone dropped the ball to me.

This was out for repair, and I wasn't advised until 1 hour and 25 minutes before RtR's UPS deadline. Sadly, I'll never know if this cuff would have looked great with my dress or not, nor do I know the quality or size of it. Sorry I can't help more, but it was important for me to let other members know that I ordered it and never got it, but instead an inferior, and very damaged replacement was sent. Of course, I got a refund, but that doesn't make it better than I didn't have quality, beautiful jewelry to wear for my event.
