Rising star!
I felt like a Golden Age Movie Star in this gorgeous gown. Totally comfortable and so beautiful in person. I chose not to wear a bra and no one could tell a difference! Elegant and cutting edge at the same time. Lots of compliments and the fit was totally flattering. I wished I would have gone down one size for a little more shape but I was comfortable and no sequins rub under the arms either.

Great Day to Night
Great fit with flattering peplum detail. Fabric is thick and stretchy but maintains shape. Traveled well--just needed a quick steam. Loved it!

Easy day to night dress..
Great colors, nice fabric and I got lots of compliments. It is a little shorter than expected but I loved wearing it and it was a perfect lightweight dress for hot Florida weather. Easy to go from desk to cocktails with this one.

Cute and comfy for work.
Size down one size for more shape but it is a boxy fit, so expect it to be a bit shapeless. Still very fun to wear due to the colors, I got lots of compliments. It needs a statement necklace. Great for a breexy spring day at work or a Sunday tea/brunch date.

Well "red"
A showstopper! The fit was gorgeous, but it is true to size with very little give or stretch. The color is phenomenal. I felt like a move star in this dress. I went to a design event with lots of critical eyes and the compliments kept coming all night long. My favorite rental so far.

Great print and super comfy
Got lots of compliments and this was very comfortable and professional for work. It was a bit roomier than I expected it to be but the drop waist hit at the hips and maybe going a size down would have had this fit funny. Not sure but next time I'll rent it in a medium.

Fun and Flirty
This is really adorable. Fun and flirty and perfect day-to-date wear. I live in a hot climate (South FL) and this was a perfect date night dress. My husband went gaga for it and I loved wearing it out.

Cute!
Perfect for hot FL days. Thin fabric and great color. Material is opaque enough to not worry about being seen through. Would not stay down on my shoulders and kept popping up but looked cute anyway.

It was a success!
When the dress arrived, it was even prettier in person. It was lightweight but well-made, just enough frill for a 40-something like me to pull off at a festive event. The event was a success and so was the dress. I got compliments all night long. I did not wear a bra with it and it was fine! I am a 38 C and it was a little loose on top but the 12 was too snug in the waist and there was no give.

Very cute but body-con
Rented this dress for a cocktail party held on a yacht. It was a perfect fit and feel. The material is very thick and I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath with no problem. I got lots of compliments and this may have been one of my favorite rentals because it was fun and flirty. My only issue with the dress is that the straps were a bit loose, but otherwise it was a great fit. I wore the smaller size. It does run true to size.

Perfect for Casino Royals 007 Party
I love this dress from the moment I open the delivery satchel. It is much more gold in person and is covered and pay yet. The color is true gold. This was perfect for my 007 casino royale party. I got tons of compliments because if it was like a glove. Are usually wear a size 12 and the actual large gave me room to dance. There is no give in this dress and it can be a little warm because it is lined, but with spanx it was perfect!! Tons of compliments. Wish I could buy it.

I felt like a movie star!!
This dress is pretty on the hanger but better in person. The best feature...giant pockets! I wore this to a work event that was at a very high end venue. I presented and networked in comfort and got so many compliments the whole night through. People kept telling me how gorgeous it was!!! I was sad to send it back. Also, I am busty but the whole thing fit perfectly and all I used were silicone pasties to keep myself in place. Gorgeous dress and the best one I have ever rented!!!

Easy Day to Night. Chic and flattering fit for those with a slight tummy! True to size and flirty.
I ordered size 10 and 12 for a back up. I went up one size because of the fit along the backside; the 12 fit better without wrinkling. Flattering cut away at the leg and the extra panel across the front was great for hiding my mommy tummy. Normal undergarments are just fine with this one. Fabric was a little wrinkly but held up for the affair.

Substitution Dress but still amazing
This was a substitution dress which was overnighted to me when my original choice and back up did not fit right. This was a beautiful selection and I was happier with this than I was with my original selection. The stylus to help me over the phone was amazing and knew exactly what to pick for me even though I was not in front of a computer. I got lots of compliments and if it was comfortable even though it was sequins. No scratching whatsoever. I love Badgley Mishka and this one did not miss.

Terrific. Fit well and was forgiving of my mommy tummy (had a baby not too long ago).
Very pretty color and the sizing was true. The pockets were a plus.
