Didn't wear, but tried them on- substantial and vibrant!
I rented these earrings for a dress I couldn't wear due to prior damage, but I did try them on when they arrived. They're bigger than I expected- true statement earrings- but the colors are represented accurately in the pictures here. Will rent again!

For special occasions and women who want to take a little risk!
This was actually my 5th backup dress (my original rental was damaged prior to shipping and the three backup dresses they sent didn't fit) but it arrived within 24 hours of returning the backups. This was a gown I would have never originally picked for myself: it is a Barbie-pink party dress but so much fun. I am 5'5" and wore 4" heels and it just skimmed the floor. Luckily, it didn't trip me up at all. I wore a black shrug and heavy black accessories to balance the sweetness and got compliments ALL night. My bust is a 38DD and the 14R was just a little loose up top- it kind of bowed toward my cleavage due to the boning in the bodice- the 12R would've been a better fit overall, but it wasn't available at the last minute. Rent this dress if you're ready to receive some (good) attention and have a good time!

Doubled as Halloween costume- great fit!
To play Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle at the masquerade ball, I rented this and added my own accessories. I have rented this dress in the cobalt for a costume party before and its become a go-to. Nice ruching at stomach disguises flaws and sequins on straps add interest and sparkle. Highly recommend!

Interesting pattern and great, flattering color
Unfortunately the 6R was too small for me (I had gained weight and was lying to myself ;), but the dress is everything it looks like online. Good weight and fullness to the skirt without being heavy. Color is also true to picture. Will rent again in a bigger size for a summer wedding.

Comfortable, shimmery coral maxi for a summer birthday party
Although this dress was a little more revealing in the chest than I would have wanted for my husband's 30th birthday party, the color is stunning (true to picture with a little shimmer), the texture keeps it interesting, and I stayed comfortable in the late June heat. I wore flats and it dragged a bit, so if you can, wear heels instead (3" would probably be sufficient).

Didn't get to wear it
I ordered a 4 and 6, and the 4 was too tight a fit, but my backup size was unavailable, so I had to send it back. They did however, credit my account and had great customer service in the process.

Really unique statement earrings
I wore all black with these to ensure these would pop and they did not disappoint. They are fine quality pieces and really add a lot to a basic outfit.

Long, but gorgeous color
This was a flattering dress, although I wish I had been more cognizant of a small 'pooch' that is evident in Halloween pictures afterward. If you're tight, this is stunning; if not, a little tummy support would go a long way- wear heels! Very long dress.

Great Bachelorette Dress!
I somehow didn't get a full on standing picture of this dress, but hopefully you can at least see the color. I found it to be a match for 'rose gold' and actually paired this with a peach blazer most of the night. This was towards the end of my bachelorette (thus the headgear that came from nowhere)- I was comfortable all night and felt sexy but chic. Highly recommend!
