Like, not love
Loved the fit of the dress from the bust down. I found the lace overlay portion to be very ill fitted. It was coming apart at the seam in the back (my hair covered it, thank god) and almost a full size larger than the rest of the dress. The lace portion kept slipping down off my shoulder and down my arms. I felt like I was wearing a slouchy shrug instead of a fitted dress. Looked okay but would definitely not wear again.

Ugh. Twinning with Ms. Piggy
Yep I said it. I looked like Ms. Piggy squeezed into this dress! The length and fit of the bodice and how it looked off the shoulder, perfect. The way it squished my torso, not flattering at all. It was much more fitted than I expected and it was a size larger than what I normally wear. Glad there was no other sizes available for this selection which lead me to choose a different dress that worked much better.

Classic yet fashionable
Loved these earrings. Nothing more classic than the pairing of gold and pearls. Loved the large chandelier style of these earrings. Paired with my off the shoulder gown, perfection! Glad I decided to pull back my hair, these things tangled in my curly locks like crazy!!!!!

Wore this for a work luncheon.
Whoa! So super low cut. Not for the extremely busty gal, unless you are wanting to look that way. Perfect for drinks, not for work! Wore a red cardigan most of the day.

Classic perfection
I love a shirt dress and this is the best one yet. The tailoring is so spot on. Love that the belt was stitched on (even though the one I rented had only one side attached), cinched me in to give a great silhouette. The only downside is a lack of pockets. Considering buying this one.

Perfect fit!
This top should get a 10 out of 10. Perfect length, fit ( no pulling, tightness around the boobs or arms). Very flattering. Wore with slacks and wedges to work and was so grateful. Definitely needed sleeves in the chilly AC!

Would have gotten 5 stars
Love the color, fit and length. The wrap top opening needs a hidden snap/hook closure. Gapes open so much! Even though I had a cute new bra on, I didn't want to show the whole office. Had to wear something to fill the gap since I didn't want to use a safety pin.

Shimmery goodness
This dress is a "10"! Fantastic fit and silhouette. This dress revealed all my cleavage, which required a pin. Had I tried it on beforehand, I would have placed a couple of temporary stitches. Couldn't wear the proper bra with this due to its low cut neckline and being at a work event. But it was gorgeous none the less!!! The draping is ultra flattering and curve friendly. Can you say bombshell? This dress reveals the movie siren within. Rent it now and thank me later. ;)

Oh my!
Classic draping, looks like a million bucks. Bought a gorgeous multi strand pearl necklace to go with this, but didn't wear it as the other sparkly Badgley dress beat out this one. I'll definitely order this dress. Would love to own it. Has great structure, support and boning.

Pretty dress
This dress turned out well due to the warm weather experienced during an outdoor wedding. Was not expecting the incredibly thin material. Perfect for a spring/summer wedding or event. Really easy to wear and true to size. Didn't wear shape wear (because I was running super late getting ready). If I had, probably could have used a smaller time. Hid a multitude of sins and floated over my curves and didn't cling. I'd probably wear a slip/ shapewear if I rented this dress again.

I'm so in love with this ring! Wasn't sure I'd like it, thought it'd be uncomfortable, but it was perfect!

Great cocktail/formal dress for work outings
I went with the larger size because it allowed me to pin up the back so it wasn't quite so low. This back is very low even with a low back bra. But the cowl in back is so dramatic, it is why you want to wear this dress! Great length, but this has a very short torso. I'm 5'6" and this came up a bit higher than my natural waist.

Thought the geometric design would mix things up a bit.
Loved the shape, length and color of these earrings. Since I wore my hair pulled back in a plaited up do, thought I would like to have long earrings. I wanted to go for a more modern aesthetic and eschewed the rhinestones for a more metal presence and geometric shapes. Success!

Colorfully lacy! Definitely a trend for the evening.
Wore the larger size, since I forgot shape wear. Shouldn't have, but I was worried about clinging. Shouldn't have. Ended up too big and somewhat shapeless, but was super comfy! The color and cut of the garment are great. Wished the neckline was either higher or lower to accommodate my necklace better. Loved the sleeve length, didn't require a jacket on a windy spring evening, just a throw. Will definitely consider renting again!

Loved the geometric shapes of this necklace
I really like the shapes in this necklace. Brought a modern touch to my outfit. Broke the tradition of blingy jewels for a formal. Just wish it had an extender so that it could have overlapped the neckline of the dress I wore.

Not quite what I expected
The material was unexpected, like a lightweight bucle. More casual than I thought it would be, but as a LBD, you can dress this up or down. A true office to evening look. Be sure to wear a bra that won't show as the cutout is a bit lower than it looks. If you have larger arms, I think you will find the armholes to be a bit tight.

Love these! I'd like to own these earrings. They are large, but lightweight. No pulling or dragging. Very substantial presence with just the right amount of sparkle!

Great dress for a special event!
Wore the larger size I was sent since the liner is a separate satin sheath dress. Will cling to everything and build up static, so I wore larger size to feel comfortable. I needed a dress that would allow movement (I planned the event and was working it), keep me cool and completely covered. This dress checked all the boxes! I was thinking this was not going to look good, but it delivered and photographed perfectly. I paired it with a hematite necklace and strappy low heeled sandals. One of my guests rented the same dress and paired it with tights and flats. Looked great either way, we both wore it best!

Perfect for a work function
This dress was great. The fit was wonderful. I usually don't wear full sequined items and now I know why. I was paranoid about sitting, sliding and shifting in my seat. Didn't want to snag and shed sequins everywhere. My first RtR experience was fantastic. The ease of ordering, delivery, and return was awesome. The dresses were brand new with tags!
