Comfy, cute, great for petites
Runs a bit large in the waist. Great length for petites. Looks cute paired with cropped sweaters

Great for vacation
I loved this dress as a coverup at the pool and to walk around during the day. Nice and breezy. BUT it wrinkles very very easily and shows every single stain. I accidentally flicked a tiny bit of salad dressing on the dress and the oil from a tiny fleck spreads out to a slightly bigger stain, necessitating the return of the dress so it could get cleaned.

Fun and screams "party time"
I rented this dress for a bachelorette. Based on the reviews, I decided to size down as my back-up size. I'm a 4 in the hips, 6 in the bust, and 8 in the waist. Due to the open back, the fit in the waist is pretty forgiving and some may find the top to be a little loose. I have broader shoulders, so was ok for the most part, but still had some fashion tape on for some additional security. I fit into both sizes - the 4 was perfectly fitted and the 6 was a little loose. I'm a bit on the conservative side, so went with the 6 for the slightly longer length, but overall I would say this dress runs very slightly large, especially up top. I probably would not recommend this dress for pear shapes. Overall, a really really fun and comfortable dress!

Difficult sizing but very pretty
I ordered this relatively last minute for a wedding. The fit suggestions from reviews were all over the place, so based on reviews from women who seemed to have a similar body type to me (I'm a 4 in the hips, 6 in the bust, 8 in the waist), I sized down. The dress is very pretty, but the fit was a little awkward. I wish that the 44 had also been available so I could compare the two. No issues with the waist as it is not fitted, but surprisingly a bit tight across the hips (which is my smallest size). I'll try the 44 next time, but I ended up returning this dress and wearing something else.

Gorgeous, elegant, and lightweight
I loved these earrings. I tend to get more modern, eclectic earrings but wanted to get something that was classic and elegant to dress up the Slate and Willow Derek dress. The night before the wedding, I wore Badgley Mischka Entrancing Emerald Earrings, which were gorgeous but left my ears aching from the very tight clip-ons. In contrast, these earrings were beautiful and lightweight. They created drama, but they never felt heavy or painful. If you're looking for something a little classic and vintage, I highly recommend.

Gorgeous and dramatic earrings but...
Loved how these earrings looked. I wore them with a print maxi dress for a rehearsal dinner in SF. I haven't worn clip-ons in years though, and I forgot how much they hurt. While they were gorgeous, I don't think I could rent these again. I kept having to take them off to rub and soothe my sore earlobes :-/

Short torsos won't work with this dress
I didn't end up renting this. I was worried about the fit so I went in to the Flatiron store to try on after I reserved the dress. If you have a short torso, the top will look extremely awkward. It flares out in a strange way, and there is a lot of excess fabric that does not lay in a flattering way. And there isn't much shape to the top, so side boob/nip slips are possibilities. Length was fine for a P. I'm very short, and it was hitting the floor with the platform heels they provided. Overall, I would recommend for someone with a long torso to try this out. But even if you're taller, if you have a short torso, the top will not lay elegantly and it will look awkward.

Fun art deco earrings
I really liked this earrings. If they were on the smaller side, I think they would be great for every day wear. They were a bit bigger than I expected (but I hadn't paid as much attention to the picture of them on the model). They added some sharpness to a softer outfit that I had planned on wearing. Love these.

Amazing design - edgy and cool
I love love loved this necklace and wish that I owned it. I might actually track it down. It added just the right level of interest and edginess to a more classic looking outfit. Highly recommended

Runs very small - size up 2-3 sizes.
You need to seriously size up for this dress. I actually tried on the Radenroro in the same design but in the silvery pink color. I was an 8 rather than my usual 6. After the reading the reviews, I realized I should size up even more and got a 10, which still didn't fit. It was incredibly short (surprising because I am 4'10") and ran extremely small. I ended up renting the 12 at a later date, which was a much more suitable length. Based on my experience and other reviews, I would recommend that people size up 2-3 sizes. If you don't mind short and tight, go with 2 sizes up. I am a bit on the conservative side in terms of fit and length, so I liked the extra length of going 3 sizes up. If you're a pear, I would not recommend this dress at all. My hips are my smallest size, so the dress shape worked for me, but if you are smaller on top and bigger on the bottom, this dress will not fit right. Overall, the dress was gorgeous and there were a ton of compliments. Just remember to size up!

The amazing colors and low back elicited many compliments
This dress was a hit at the party. I would recommend fashion tape to both keep the shoulders on (kept slipping off) and to secure the hanger straps so they don't peek out. Love the colors. Love the low low back. The bottom ran a bit tight and the top a bit loose (and I am more top heavy with narrower hips), so I would not recommend this dress for pear shapes.
