LOVED THE SPARKLE! MUCH BETTER THAN SEQUINS

I typically wear a 2 or 4 top, but with my reservation two days before I needed it, only a 0 was available. It still fit great! It had just enough (not a lot of) stretch for it to fit. I wanted the top to come up higher than if I bought my true size, so it worked out perfect! The jewels all over the shirt are such a beautiful detail! Worth every penny! I received so many compliments, and could not have been happier!

Perfect Sparkly Bride Outfit

This top was exactly what I was looking for to wear to my bridal shower! The size 4 fit better and more true to size, but I ended up wearing the size 6 primarily for more length. It was a brunch so I didn't want to reveal too much skin, but I probably would have worn the 4 if it was evening. The top isn't itchy or irritating which is amazing! You just can't "raise the roof" which was tricky on the day of when opening gifts and playing games.

Received many compliments on this beautiful top!

Highly recommend this piece - beautiful and comfortable. Would suggest sizing up as the sleeves are a bit tight. Wore a size 6 (I usually wear size 4) and fit perfectly.

Festive for a formal Christmas Eve party!

Loved loved loved this top. I paired it with a black satin skirt of my own, but it would look great with the black tulle it is shown with. Very little to no stretch so I would size up for the second size.

Highlight of the Evening!

bust (widest part): 37in waist: 28in hips: 41in arm circumference: ~11in The fit was perfect!!! Everyone, including the bride said I looked so GLAM. I paired it with Wet & Wild's Cherry Bomb dark red matte lipstick. Received so many compliments all night and turned heads everywhere I went! I chose a customized below the knee tulle skirt with POCKETS ($25 Crinoline skirt @eShakti). Everyone complimented on how fun and glam I looked dancing all night. It was a mix of Sex in the City glam with a disco ball kind of fun. I added shoulder pads to give myself a tapered shoulder look but it made the top a tad bit shorter--the top stopped right where my bra ended. I taped the bottom hem to my bra because I was afraid it would rise throughout the night or if I accidently raised my arms my bra would show. The arms fit comfortably I love this top so much I want to keep it or wear it everyday!! I also tried it on with a floor length tulle skirt that I bought from Aliexpress ($16.91, Max V's Store, one size 60in length) but opted to go with the short skirt because it screamed fun. I wouldn't hesitate to wear it with a long skirt to a gala or formal event. Next time. I will definitely rent this again!!!! I can't put to words how in love I am with this crop top Get it! You won't regret it!

Absolutely Amazing

I have NEVER had more compliments on an outfit then this one. I got compared to Taylor Swift and told I was very Sex in the City. Everyone loved it and I felt amazing. The fit was perfect (think skinny arm though because your arms might rub on the sequins). I'm so glad the stylist recommended this look. Perfection!!

If you have bigger boobs that get a bigger size shirt because the shirt is very cropped.

This top is perfect for any formal occasion!

I absolutely loved this outfit! I wore it for my senior prom and received numerous compliments on my ensamble. I have a bit of an edgier style so I paired it with a cool ear cuff, studded bracelets and bcbg strappy heals. It does run at least a size small, so I would definitely recommend ordering a size larger for back out.

wore it to my senior prom and felt like a princess!!!!

size up! the shoulders are a little small and the length is shorter than it looks, so i had some problems with the bottom of my bra showing. the texture wasn't uncomfortable but be careful because it snags on tulle. it's so cute though i absolutely loved this top and recommend it to anyone

I wore this to our medical school formal and it was definitely unique.

I'm normally an 8 but I rented an 8 and a 10. The shirt is definitely a lot shorter than it looks on the model, but I have a long torso. I would say they fit equally, but I wore the 10 since it was a little bit longer. Overall I loved it.

If you got a chest like me (32F), definitely size up. I wore a high waisted skirt to avoid too much midriff, but I still had some problems with the bra showing at the bottom. Just be aware!

Wore this for my bachelorette party. Such a fun outfit.

Loved this top. It is more than just sequins, it is almost jeweled and sequined. Having read the other reviews, I ordered up to both a 6 and 8, but the 6 fit perfectly. It is short though, so if you are not comfortable showing at least some of your ribs, I would not recommend it. Overall, I thought the top was so much fun. Everyone loved it, and I felt fab in it. It is real statement!

Loved this for my bachelorette party!!

Wore this for my bachelorette party and LOVED it! I wore it with a tea length, white tulle skirt that I own. I got a million comments from girls and guys alike and had lots of people tell me I had their favorite bachelorette outfit of the night. I loved the crop top aspect to give it some sexiness but kept it classy with the sleeves and the skirt length. Since I haven't wore my wedding dress yet, this is probably my favorite outfit ever! I fluctuate between an 8 and a 10 on a usual basis and although the 8 fit, I was more comfortable in the 10. The 8 hit a little higher so it showed more of my midriff than I wanted. Overall, it was an amazing top and I would definitely rent it again if I had the right occasion!

Perfect 25th birthday outfit!!

I wore this Badgleg Mischka crop top for my 25th birthday party....I LOVED it!! It was the perfect top for my pink and gold themed party. It runs small, I am normally a size 4 and rented the 10 and it fit perfect (I'm also a 34D). There is no stretch to the fabric but it's still comfortable. By the end of the night the sleeves were starting to irritate me from the sequins, but other than that, I loved it! Definitely one of my favorite rentals :)

SO many compliments all night long!

The skirt is a great pairing with this shirt but its really the sparkly fun crop top that makes the outfit! I expected the top to be a little bigger (more like on the model) and should have paid attention to the other reviewers saying to get a size larger or maybe even two sizes larger for a looser look. As it was, the top still fit but ended right under my bust giving a more sexy look (not a bad thing, overall). I really did get compliments all night on this outfit and it was comfortable as well as fun!

SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!

AMAZING TOP. I had to pair it with a longer tulle skirt than is shown with it on the RTR model due to my formal event etiquette. So many asked where I got it and I was oh so sad to send it back. Ran true to size and felt like a million bucks. Even though it is a "crop top" still felt classy and stylish, Very fun for a Mardi Gras ball in Louisiana.

This top was the perfect piece for NYE! I felt so fun and sparkly!

I'm glad that I went up a size and got a 6. I have a wider rib cage and the 6 fit me perfectly. It was a little shorter on me than in the photos of the model, but I was wearing a very high waisted skirt, so it wasn't an issue. The top was very comfortable and the only slight issue was that the sequins kept catching on themselves and the zipper - so be ware of that!

Sparkles and fun!

I fell in love with the NYE outfit. It was so stunning and comfortable. I didn't want to take it off when trying it on the day before! I received endless compliments all night. The gold top was so beautiful. The 10 worked but I decided to wear the 12 because it fit my bust (34DDD) much better. Not itchy or scratchy at all. Can't wait to find another occasion to rent this again!

Loved the outfit! I ordered the 6 & 8 in the top and I preferred the snug fit of the 6. I actually wear a 32F too. I ordered the 4 in the skirt & it also fit perfectly. I was getting compliments all night, It was awesome! I wore it to our Mayor's Ball right before Christmas. I was worried it wouldn't be formal enough but it totally was and I stood out amongst everyone else.

Fun fun fun party top

I wore this for NYE and absolutely loved it. It fits entirely true to size. I agree with some of the other reviews that say it's slightly scratchy under the arms, but that's a very small critique. I have a long torso, so the top fell only about an inch under the bottom of my bra, unlike on the model where it seems to have a longer fit. I loved it nonetheless, just something to keep in mind.

I was very nervous about ordering this outfit. I called it my motivational dress. The top is beautiful. I found it to be very comfortable and not scratchy at all. However it is not as long as pictured on the model. I am even a smaller chested person and it hit almost right below my bra.

Very flattering!

I rented this for a NYE party at a DC speakeasy. The outfit was very flattering, and the exposed midriff (my first since I was a preteen in Mississippi mooning over tube tops in Walmart) didn't make me feel self conscious at all. I rented the matching tulle skirt, which seemed almost too thick and full, even as a 5'8" lady in high heels. The skirt also has an elastic waist, just as a fit FYI.

Huge party for my graduation for a degree that I got over 8.5 years

The top with the skirt was perfect for my party. The fit in both is a size up from what I usually wear, but understandable with my bra size. By the end of the night, my hair was catching on it a lot, but otherwise it was very comfortable and looked beautiful. If you are large in the chest, consider going down a size in the skirt- I didn't and so there was often more skin than I wanted showing because the skirt kept falling down and the top would only go so far on me.

Compliments all night long!

Ran true to size. I normally wear a two and would have liked to have tried a size two in this top. The four felt a little baggy everywhere except the arms. Size up if you don't have spaghetti arms like me.
