The experience and ease of the renting was superb. The delivery was hassle free. I'm a fan of RTR!
Size worn: 16WR
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress fit like a glove. True to size but slightly small. Hides all the imperfections that plagued most women. Length was perfect. Zipping in and out was slightly a task. Assistance was needed.

I had a baby 3 months ago. I was insecure but got lots of compliments on this dress all night!

The dress was a little long for me - if it was a sit down event it would have been better because as long as I wore really tall shoes (like 4 inch heels plus a small platform in the front) it was perfect. But since this was a ball and we were dancing and on our feet all night long, I think maybe it was too long for me. (This is the story of my life.)

I felt beautiful and confident all night! I was definitely the Lady in Red!
Size worn: 18WL
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The fit was so flattering in all the right places! It hid my hips, butt, and thighs....all places I didn't want showing. It enhanced my waist and chest. Really figure flattering. The dress was SO comfortable. Everyone else changed their dress for the drive home, but I kept the dress on. The color red is also such a beautiful and flattering color, especially if you have a tan. I honestly loved this dress so much, I can't say enough.
I didn't like that I had to size up.

I rented this for a friend's cotillion and felt like a princess!
Size worn: 16WL
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am 5'9" and quite broad through the shoulders, but I felt really beautiful in this dress! I can wear a 14 or 16 in dresses and went for the 16 in this and I am glad I did, as the 16WL fit like a glove. I ordered the regular and the long and ended up wearing the long with 4 1/2-inch heels. I did have to be very careful of the hem -- the overlay is very easy to step on -- but I never tripped. I took off my heels during the afterparty and just held the edges of the hem with my fingers to dance. The dress is fully lined, incredibly comfortable, and easy to get in and out of. The zipper does tend to get stuck a little bit at the waist ruching, but it wasn't a big hassle.

Dress had great movement. It was the perfect length; I'm 5' 9 1/2" and work 1' heels. Was a little snug through the rib cage, but not uncomfortable. Will probably need some assistance zipping up as the zipper gets a little bogged down over the waist rouching. The color was perfect!

I loved the dress from the moment it came out of the package. I got so many compliments <3
Size worn: 16R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered the 14R and 16R, the 14R didn't want to zip, and the 16R did after I played with the zipper awhile (I think it was still rather new to RtR) Once we did that we were able to get the zipper on the 16 up with no problem. With a comfortable height heel it was the perfect length and I got so many compliments on it. It definitely needs a statement necklace to really bring the vision together, since it's a high neck.

This dress made me feel beautiful and I got tons of compliments!!
Size worn: 16WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
As a nanny, I spend my days in snot and spit up covered yoga pants and t-shirts so I wanted to be really fancy for my cousin's wedding.
This dress was certainly fancy!!
It's definitely designed for taller women. I'm 5'5" and in 4 inch heels it still dragged on the ground so I did a lot of dress holding while dancing. but I thought it was fun to shake all around while I danced!!
It took 3 people to zip it up!!
The tight bust/waist line hid my most unflattering parts really well.
All In all I loved this dress!! A family friend at the wedding didn't even recognize me!! I cant wait for my next wedding in May so I can rent another dress!!

RTR overnighted a dress that fit! They were awesome.
Size worn: NONE
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
The dress was very pretty,but there is no give. The band runs right at the rib cage not waist line. So because my rib cage is pretty wide (I'm a 12/14) in most clothes with narrow hips, I couldn't get it zipped although in the rest of the dress there was plenty of room.
RTR was awesome and overnight end me another dress!!

Flattering dress!
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress was really great and I received many compliments. I ordered a regular length and not a long. I'm 5'7" and have always been able to wear regular lengths but I would have been better off in a long. I had to wear flats and still felt like the dress barely covered my feet. I had read that the dress runs small and it certainly does. I ordered two sizes up to be safe!

Too small

This was my backup dress, and it was way too small! It looked gorgeous, but I would not have been able to get the zipper past my chest. I am thankful this was only the back up and the original dress I ordered fit.

I felt gorgeous in this lovely, soft dress.
Size worn: 20WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Excellent fit in the top, snug in the back with lots of room in the chest. The high waist was very comfortable for the seated event. I was worried about getting a regular at only 5'1 but with 3.5" heels it was the perfect height. Zipper was very hard to get through the center and it is sheer enough that you you would be able to see black underwear underneath it. Very soft and flowing and very forgiving to my larger unwanted curves. Loved it!

I got more compliments on this dress than my wedding dress!!
Size worn: 16R
Overall fit: True to Size

This by far is my favorite dress I have ever worn. I felt so pretty and sophisticated. Not bad for someone who did her own makeup and hair for this wedding. The color was fabulous and it fit great! I received so many compliments on this dress the day I wore it. You will not go wrong if you get this dress!

RTR couldnt have made the night easier!

This dress is stunning in person. I tried this dress in a 16 (my regular size) and an 18. Neither dress fit. I could not zip the dress over my bust and definitely could not have fit a bra under it. I ended up using my back up dress which was also Badgley Mischka in size 18. A little discrepancy between the sizes for this dress and the strapless style.

Lovely dress of high quality and nice detail. Unfortunately, my buxom build struck again and I was completely unable to get the dress zipped past my waist (ribs on up...). The cut of the dress would have minimized my build some, which is what I was hoping for, but since the fabric has no give, there was just no way. I don't fault the dress at all...and I ordered a second dress in a completely different style (but same size) which fit just fine. Frankly, I'm quite used to this sort of sizing issue and hence, planned accordingly. Even with having to order 2 dress styles "just in case", my rental was still MUCH less than a purchase would have been, so I consider this a success....AND I didn't have to spend hours crying in a department store feeling like a frumpy old maid just because I have large "girls"!!! (Bust size is actually about 42 DD...but the drop down won't allow me to input that...)
