Million Dollar Dress
This dress is incredibly comfortable and has an awesome cut. Even though it's high cut in the front ,the back has a gorgeous drop cut - very sexy! It hits at the knees or just above - I wore metallic heels with it. It doesn't need any jewelry, it speaks for itself. The fabric has some stretch to it which is nice and it has sequins but they don't scratch under the arms. It photographs beautifully.... highly recommend this for any bridal shower, bachelorette, or nighttime event!

Polished, pretty, church dress.
I rented this for a baby shower brunch that started in the late morning, hence the church description. It's a beautiful color, stretchy, and the tulip cap sleeves are a nice touch. Is definitely a conservative cut; it fell to mid-knee with 3.5" heels on. A great dress for a daytime event in the spring or summer, including work. Would recommend pairing with fun, shiny statement earrings if you're headed to a celebration!

Work Appropriate Knockout
The color is a gorgeous Venetian red, no other way to describe it. Perfect for fall & winter. The neckline is up to your neck and is pretty snug once zipped up so keep in mind if you have a lot of muscle in your neck or upper back! Sleeves are comfortable and so is the bottom - fits more snugly than the top because the draping is meant to be billowy. Ladies with a smaller bust will have extra draping to play around with; might take you a few tries to get it to lay right. Got tons of compliments all day long and is easy to transition from day to night. Would rent again.

Color Pop!
This dress has a gorgeous, straight-across strapless neckline and is a rich, vibrant magenta. No necklace necessary. Would recommend pairing with gold jewelry (bangles or fun statement ring). Top was a little roomy on me; it probably fits snugly on ladies with larger busts. A wonderful option for engagement party, wedding, or other cocktail attire event. Would rent again.

A perfect bride-to-be rehearsal dinner or NYE dress!
The overlay is beautiful and is a true gold. I tried on the 12 and it fit, but the sheath/under layer was a bit snug in the hips, so keep that in mind if you have more of an hourglass figure. The gold embroidery is delicate and beautiful - no statement jewelry needed!

The embroidery detail is nothing less than stunning.
I ordered a size 12 and a 14 - the 12 fit like a glove, with room for ample curves in the hips. The tricky part about this dress is the sheath underneath - it definitely looks better on some skin tones than others. It's not a true baby pink, it has a bit more orange to it so keep that in mind. I could not stop staring at the embroidery, it makes a gorgeous illusion over the sheath.

True jewel tone, is rich red. Great weight for fall events.
For ladies less well endowed, would recommend body tape or perfect posture. Can wear with regular plunge bra. Is a great weight for chillier days/evenings and pairs well with gold jewelry. Is a more conservative Bond girl-esque dress!

A vision in plum!
This dress runs a bit small on curvier body types. It comes with the belt to highlight your waist. I felt that it was too form-fitting for me (ladies, get your spans ready) but it's a beautiful color that's complimentary to all skin tones. The black lace detailing was totally intact and not frayed, and is a neat contrast against the purple of the dress. I'd suggest black almond-toe heels with minimal jewelry- go for stud earrings and a dark colored cuff but pass on a necklace- the detailing is enough!

starry night
This dress is the perfect length and weight for a winter cocktail event. I rented it for an inaugural ball at a youth center. I usually wear a 12-14 and the 14 fit but was tight in the belly area. If you need to be sitting or kneeling down, I'd recommend ordering a size up. This is a beautiful dress and it's not too sparkly and the sleeves are a great length and good for cold weather. I wore black patent leather almond toe pumps with it - you could wear nude if you wanted as well. For earrings I rented the Badgley Mischka Crystal Cluster studs.

big, bold, and beautiful
These earrings are a great accent to a dress that has a bit of sparkle, a dress that is a dark color, or if you plan to wear no jewelry at your neck (do not pair with a statement necklace). They're larger than expected and command your neckline...wear your hair up and back to show them off. One potential consideration is that their size does make them heavier, but not enough to make your ears hurt or make dancing impossible. Will rent again if they go with the dress!
