I make clothes and accessories and was invited to be one of the Grand Finale Designers for Chattanooga Fashion Week. I was able to make my own dress for the Grand Finale show, but wanted a powerful accessory to go with it, and did not have time to make one of my own. I found this piece on RTR and thought it was perfect for the style of the dress! The necklace looked fantastic and was exactly the style I wanted, however my only issue with it, is that the shorter bars at the top kept flipping over throughout the night, causing the necklace to lay wrong. You can even kind of see this in the photo. If it weren't for that, the necklace would be 5-stars in my opinion

I rented this bag to accessorize multiple looks when I was presenting one of my own fashion collections at Chattanooga Fashion Week. It was slightly larger than expected, but that worked out well as I was able to fit cell phones, keys, etc. in the bag without running out of room like a standard clutch. The bright pink python looked great against the Badgley Mischka Domino Dress from RTR, as well as another black dress I made for the event. I even carried it with a much more casual look of jeans and earlier that weekend while just going to a pub and checking out the town. Loved it and would rent again.

I was invited to be one of the Grand Finale designers for Chattanooga Fashion Week, and since I did not have time to make myself dresses for each night of the event, I needed something that represented my aesthetic but was also flattering to my own not-model figure. I loved the modern geometric black and white contrast of this dress, and the a-line fit did not make me feel self-conscious at all. It fit really well in the torso and shoulders, which does not always happen when you're 5'3". On me, the dress hit at knee length. I paired it with the Gigi New York oversized pink clutch, and unintentionally fit into the color palatte of the event (hence all the pink lighting in the photo). Loved this dress. Kind of wish it was a permanent addition to my closet as it would definitely be one that would be easy to wear to many events.

So glad I added this to my order. I wish I had a photo, but sadly I don't. Guess I was celebrating too hard. It looks just like it does in the photo and is beautiful on. I'm not a tiny girl but have small wrists and this piece worked wonderfully!

I wore this for my Grad Party with a Nha Khan lace and tulle ("On Cloud Nine") dress. It was perfect over my cap and gown, and looked lovely with the dress. The dress had so much detail that it really did not need the necklace, but the bold jewels capped off the lace gown in a beautiful way. Loved the multiple colors in the jewels.

I rented this for my (2nd) college graduation. I was graduating with a Fashion Design degree, so I knew I wanted something to stand out (seeing as I didn't have time to make something myself). This dress was gorgeous, and the moment I took off my cap and gown, people immediately began exclaiming "Oh my god, that dress!" It's so feminine and lovely, that it makes you want to twirl around like a little girl, yet it feels grown up enough that it's perfect for a day at the winery (which is where I spent my grad after-party!) The tulle is just enough fluff not to overdo it. It's formal enough to pull off for a fancy event, but the color makes it easy enough to wear to something a little less pretentious. Great for a garden party/outdoor wedding/winery/etc. I paired it with the Kendra Scott Grayce Necklace. On sizing - I am a size 10-12, depending on the brand. I generally ere on the side of 12, because I am curvy and hippy. Because this dress is a-line, and the waist is not super-tight, I wore the size 10 which fit perfectly in the length and shoulders. (I'm only 5'3").

The dress I rented was completely covered in gold sequins so I did not want a sparkly bag. This clutch was a great complement to the dress, adding a different texture and a subdued color. It was a little bigger than I expected, but that worked out well since it made it easy to fit everything I needed.

Loved, loved, loved this gown! I wore it to the Southeast Regional Emmy awards and everyone loved it! The dress fit well. I ordered the 10 and the 12, and ended up wearing the 12. I'm 5'3" and it was the perfect length in heels. It is figure-fitting, so do wear Spanx! If you are tall, definitely order the long. I actually ordered this dress in February and it got stuck in the middle of the snowstorm in another state. My event was on a Saturday night and I had scheduled Friday delivery, but the UPS truck was stalled. UPS changed their estimated delivery to Monday, which would have been too late. I woke up Saturday, planning to call RTR and UPS to find out what my options were, but when I checked the delivery, found out RTR had already rescheduled the dress for Saturday delivery without any request by me. It was fantastic customer service and the dress was delivered early enough in the day to make it to the event that night!
