Summery light dress
Beautiful dress, forgiving fit in the midsection, very light and summery feeling with the floral print. It was a little casual and off season for a black tie dinner in November for me but I would have worn it happily if my first choice had not worked out. The size 6 fit great.

Standout red dress in a sea of black . . .
Form fitting dress with a just enough stretch to be breathable. Received compliments all night. Ordered the 6 and 8; not sure I could've zipped the 6. The 8 fit snugly (maybe even a little too snugly) once zipped - but the zipper was very difficult to close and I needed help. Maybe if between sizes, size up. One of my favorite rentals of all time, though I did have to spot clean the dress from the prior rental - fortunately they came out.

Beautiful color, wonderful fabric -- standout dress!
This is a beautiful column halter dress, wonderfully made with full lining, and was very comfortable. I'm typically a 6 or an 8, but have found that in RTR dresses, size 6's are too form fitting. So, I ordered an 8 and a 10, and wore the 8, which was a little too drapey and hung a bit, but still worked pretty well. If I had to do over I would have ordered and worn the 6. Wonderful for dancing.

Right size and pretty, but not blue.
These earrings are beautiful, light and just the right size. The color is not, however, as pictured. The color is more taupe than anything and shimmery iridescent, which unfortunately blends right into my blonde hair, rather than adding a touch of color. Perhaps the color varies with the cut from the shell. Pretty, but not what I wanted to go with the coral dress I rented.

Beautiful Gown - size up
The color and fabric of this gown was beautiful. I received the 6 but the 8 back up size was not available; I received an 8 in another gown/designer. The 8 of that dress was so big i couldnt wear it, yet the 6 of this gown was a little too form fitting for my comfort. I made it work but felt a little self conscious all evening; the fabric shows every flaw even with some great undergarments. Still a lovely dress.

Perfectly Beautiful for a Conservative Black Tie Affair
This dress was a standout. I wore it for a black-tie annual dinner, at which I was one of the main presenters and MC for the evening. I felt beautiful but covered and got compliments on the dress all night. I have very muscular shoulders, so normally have to size up for tops and down for bottoms. This general rule of mine did not hold true for the dress; the 6 fit everywhere except at the waistband (my waist measures about 29"), so I sized up to my backup 8, which fit pretty well but was a tad large in the shoulders. My husband had to help with the nearly impossible zipper (he was certain it was broken), and I was at first worried that it would be too tight. Once I got it on, however, it breathed a little and fit pretty well. Love the pockets, thick fabric, and also great for dancing!
