Super comfy, very flattering
Loved this dress. The color was fabulous, and the dress was comfy and fit perfectly. The fabric was less dressy than I was expecting, so I wore it to rehearsal dinner instead of wedding, and it was perfect. I loved it and would buy it.

Lace was too frayed to wear
It may have been the style, but I thought it looked too worn to wear. Loved the zipper in the back! Have a backup ready just in case.

Please ignore silly face & unbrushed hair :)
Don't know how this ended up being the best picture of the night, but here you are ladies. The necklace worked great with the blue dress I wore. It helped me hit the perfect balance of dressy/casual that I was going for. I loved the color and gold, but the beads themselves were a little weird and got kind of twisted around. If you're looking specifically for yellow, rent this. Otherwise maybe consider something else.

Delicate, lovely bangles
I ended up wearing just one bangle because I wanted to be understated and not fussing with the bangles all day. It was the perfect way to have something on my wrist without being obnoxious. Loved it.

Didn't end up working for outfit but wish they had!
Rented these for a wedding. They didn't end up working with what I wore, but they were gorgeous and I would have loved to wear them.

Perfect "non-statement" necklace as requested by bride
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where bride told us we could wear any jewelry as long as it was "non-statement" and not distracting in photos. I struggled with being formal enough for the black tie affair within those parameters, and this necklace was the perfect last minute answer. I wore with some antique clip on earnings borrowed from my step-mom and it ended up looking very old-Hollywood glam. Thanks RTR for saving the day again.

Pop of color!
I didn't end up wearing this because I rented for a bachelorette party and it turns out the bride had rented the same dress for her shower! So, sadly, it never saw the light of day. I will 100% be renting this dress for another occassion though. It is cute, fit great, and had pockets. My fave! Great for full figure girls.

Risky rent ended up not for me
I knew this dress might be a risk because of the shift style, but I loved the color and fabric so I decided to give it a try. I didn't end up wearing it for the bridal shower because it was a little short, and also, I just felt like it didn't look that great on my body type. I am a curvy girl, so I need to show that off in a dress, or else I feel super frumpy. That's how I felt when I looked at this dress from the front (front photo won't upload for some reason). If I had worn the dress, I would have worn the 10 because it hugged my arms and bum in a flattering way, but the front was just too blah for a big girl. I tried accessorizing with a belt and a big necklace, but it still didn't work. Overall, cute dress, but not great for my body type.

Lots of compliments
I enjoyed wearing something well made rather than a cheap-o costume necklace. The gold was a lot darker than in the photo, but still worked nicely with my outfit since most of the gold was underneath my hair anyway.

I got tons of compliments, even from strangers, and free cover at the afterparty for looking so nice
Only con was that the straps were a little long for my torso, so it didn't fall just right, and my cleavage was slightly risqué. However, a last minute safety pin helped, and some fancy fashion tape probably would have worked even better. Also, if I weren't 29 or my boobs were slightly larger, it probably would have looked fine even with the dipping neckline. Overall, totally fabulous, I never wanted to take it off. Put this dress on, and no matter what you do with hair, makeup, jewelry, etc., you will still be the belle of the ball. That said, rent the bracelet/cuff on the model. I waited until the last minute since I wasn't dress shopping also and I had a hard time finding good jewelry.
