Not flattering
This felt very matronly to me, between the material and the conservative neckline. I rented it for an office party, and it felt too stuffy even for that. The pleats at the waist puffed out and definitely made me look pregnant. (That was the case in both the 6 and the 8, and I usually wear a 6. The 8 fit fine, wasn't too snug, but the pleats still popped out). I ended up stopping at the mall the day of my event to buy something instead.

Hawaiian Palm Dress
Lela Rose
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 34C
Runs short! Size up for extra length
I'm tall, and long waisted, and the small did not even cover my tush when I was standing up! The medium was ok, would have been fun for a night out with my husband or girlfriends, but definitely not ok for a conservative event. It went about an inch past my butt. The dress was sparkly and fun and pretty. It fits pretty loose, but I liked that. It made it a little more fun and playful. The biggest difference between the S and M was the length, so if you need a little length, size up. I'm hoping to rent it again someday! (When I'm feeling brave! And prepared with a good pair of black bikini underwear!)

Under the Disco Ball Shift
Tracy Reese
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 34C
Felt confident, and received compliments
This is a little more bulky than I am used to wearing - and I LOVE it! I've rented it twice now, and I've looked for it online to try to buy it. It's a good color - a little more turquoise than in this pic.

Turq Isle Necklace
RJ Graziano
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34C
This clutch felt very classy, pulled the outfit together!
This clutch feels and looks well made, it has good structure and I like the cutout detail of the circles/dots. It was a great finishing touch on my outfit! OH! One problem. I put it in the usual return envelope with one other thing (a bracelet?) It would NOT fit in a blue mailbox when it was time to return it - it is packaged in a cardboard box that is larger than it is. So I highly recomend that you put it in it's very own return envelope, with nothing else - and give yourself extra time to find a big mailbox. (This was problematic, as we stopped at a mailbox on our way to the airport, with NO room left in my luggage!)

Gold Boombox Clutch
Diane von Furstenberg Handbags
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34C
Prettier in than box than on
I loved this necklace, but I felt as though the clear jewels and opaque jewels were too different - the opaque jewels showed up much more than the clear ones. But it was a good size, and just fun enough - just right with the purple Kate Spade dress that I wore to a wedding.

Renaissance Statement Necklace

Good with both day and evening looks!
I didn't wear these - at the time, I thought they were too big and clunky. Now that I look at the picture, I wish I had! How cute! (Even though I have a somewhat narrow wrist, they still worked, but they did rest on my hand). I like that you can separate the set and wear as few or as many as you like.

Rose Gold Scalloped Bangle Set
RJ Graziano
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34C
Felt comfortable - and confident! (and my husband liked it)
I liked wearing this, and wore it twice during our vacation weekend. I *could* have sized down, but was much better off with my usual size. (If you size up, the hole in the back might gape a little). It is pretty casual.

Neon Lace Party Dress
Cut 25
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34C
Felt pretty all night - even though the dress kept twisting (you can kind of see it in the mirror pic) - next time I'll size up to try to address that.
This was a fun dress, with just enough spunkiness. The fabric is thicker, so it feels high quality. I'm usually a size 6 (occasionally 8) and the size S worked, but next time I think I'll go with the M. The skirt slowly twisted around me as I walked, which was made noticeable by the back zipper, so I was yanking at it almost all night. And I would possibly size up if you're busty because the print on the bodice is only on the top layer of fabric, and the more it stretches, the more white fabric shows in between the weave. I won't be surprised if I rent this again!

Backup that I didn't wear
This was one of my backup dresses and I didn't wear it - it is much more red than in the picture. I'm probably a little picky, but it just wasnt quite casual enough for daytime, hanging out by the pool, but not sexy or flattering enough for evening. I would almost say that the fabric seemed a little filmy to me as well. Maybe a tad cheesey? But, again, I'm randomly picky about various things.

Flutter Away Dress
Milly
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 10"

Very nice - and very dressy
This was a nice necklace, but too dressy for me. Too dressy even for dinner out or clubbing. More sophisticated.

Tie Up in Crystal Necklace
Lee Angel
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 10"

Felt great all night, the whole look pulled together well!
This was gorgeous. It lays more flat & is less chunky than I expected, and it paired well with my simple but colorful evening gown (this necklace helped to dress it "up").

These were the icing on the cake for my outfit
These are a great casual look, and I was glad I rented them! I would even consider buying them, but they were a little too heavy for me (I rarely wear anything other than studs, but I like these because they're a good "statemetn earing" - no necklace needed!).

This time, I rented accessories only, and they truly completed the outfit! I felt like I looked nice all evening.
This was beautiful. I was glad i had ordered it, and happy to use it for the evening. It's a soft gold color, and would work with silver accessories as well. It help my cell phone and lipstick and blotting papers fine, but trying to get my small camera in as well was a struggle.

More shiny than I expected!
More shiny (as in almost glittery) than I expected. It's a great clutch and I like the size, but it's too glitzy for daytime. For evening I like the actual gold version better! It'll be good for summer cocktails.
