Sexy Tennis Ball is Accurate
Whoever described this as a “sexy tennis ball” was right on the money (lol). That’s exactly how I felt. Someone else said you can’t wear a bra with it, as it’s completely see through. I didn’t find that to be entirely true, however, this shirt does stretch a ton, and while it barely hid my strapless bra underneath, as soon as it stretched over my chest, you could see the lines of my bra and the dark shade of my bra (which was black). This is also a very cropped shirt. I had to keep pulling it down to make sure the bottom of my bra wasn’t poking out, but also keep in mind I am a DD chest, and did choose to wear a bra underneath. So take that with a grain of salt. The shirt will become somewhat transparent though- don’t be fooled by the thick looking fabric. It is VERY stretchy. The neck is also a bit tight- but it didn’t bother me as it stretched a lot after less than an hour of wear. It is cute, loud, and definitely *something*.

Perfect for a Night on the Town!
I love the way this dress is cut. If you just stare at it on the hanger- it has hips! It’s super stretchy, ultra comfy, and highly forgiving. You can wear it with or without spanx, which is wonderful. I wore this to our evening out at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, with my black braided sandal heels, and it was the perfect outfit. So much so, I was getting hit on by French men in the street (lol). When I tell you this dress is comfy- I mean it, you can sit, stand, bend over- all without fear of anything. It’s perfect for a cocktail dress, fancy dinner, fancy event, or even just date night. I feel like the shoes and jewelry really determine which way it goes. Love this designer and this dress. Keeping for another round of rentals as I’m not ready to give it up just yet!

The Best Vacation Dress!
Lived in this dress in Paris! Loved it so much. As a larger chested gal, my only complaint was the cutout that was giving me some under boob. It was tight enough that I could wear it without a bra, but had to re-adjust a few times to keep the under boob at bay. Overall though, got many compliments, and it was super comfy, and light and airy. Also- it has pockets! Only taking away a star due to the cutout being just slightly too open for anyone above a C cup.

Love the color!
This bag was very cute when it came. The color was slightly more muted than I anticipated, which I actually found to be a good thing. My only gripe with this bag is that it did not fit everything that I typically tote around with me. If you don't need your life in your purse, the size will suit you. It had a ton of zipper and magnetic compartments though which was nice to separate things.

Cute, but not for large chests
This dress was so cute, but I couldn't get it to button over my chest. Word of warning, I'm a DD/DDD, and this was definitely not meant for larger chested women. So cute though. The bottom fit perfectly and was not see through and definitely flowy.

Absolutely stunning, but quite heavy!
I ended up ordering a few dresses for a December 20th wedding, and RTR had to send me a bunch of replacements due to damage to the dresses I originally selected. I tried all of them on so that I could review them. This dress looked great on. It had a good amount of stretch, was absolutely stunning, but very heavy. I assume with all the sequins I should have anticipated that, but I did not. This was actually my favorite dress that came, but I didn't wear it just because it was so heavy (even though I tried to talk myself into it at least 20 times). I found the 14W was a bit tight- it fit, but I hate things that hug my body like crazy, so the 16W fit perfectly and had just the right amount of looseness. This dress also covered up my tattoos on my chest, and my bra straps in the front and the back, which was a big plus! I will definitely rent this dress again and wear it somewhere, and suck it up about the weight of the dress! This dress was so gorgeous, and I almost regret that I didn't wear it to the wedding. Badgley Mischka knows how to do sequins and create absolutely stunning gowns! Good bit of room in the chest area for larger cup sizes, and as I said, it does hid regular bra straps, so no need to go strapless! If you don't mind the weight, and the potential for itchy underarms (due to the sequins), I would definitely recommend this dress- beauty is pain right!?!

Super pretty, very sparkly, and a fun cutout back!
I ended up ordering a few dresses for a December 20th wedding, and RTR had to send me a bunch of replacements due to damage to the dresses I originally selected. I tried all of them on so that I could review them. This was the dress I initially ordered to wear to the wedding, and someone had damaged the size I needed, but they were able to send it to me in a different size. The 14W ended up being too big, and the sleeves sat a little too high on my shoulders, so I would definitely recommend sizing down. This dress is great if you're looking for something that's fancy, but don't want to go floor length. Also if you hate spanx, this dress is great- it hides at the hips, gives you full coverage at the bust, and has a fun cutout back. There definitely was ample room in the chest for my DD Cup, maybe even more than was necessary. I also had a mishap with my knees, and didn't want them showing at the wedding, and couldn't put tights on, so I was surprised when I put on the dress, and it actually hit below my knee. I think because the model's on RTR are about 5'7"+, and I'm only 5'5". This is certainly one of the more fun dresses that I've rented off of RTR. I love Badgley Mischka as well- All of the dresses tend to stretch, be comfortable, and have a really flattering cut, while still being fun and flirty. I hate my arms in cap sleeves, so I probably wouldn't rent this again, but I did really love the dress!

Really comfortable, ultra slimming, and kept the girls up and in!
I ended up ordering a few dresses for a December 20th wedding, and RTR had to send me a bunch of replacements due to damage to the dresses I originally selected. I tried all of them on so that I could review them. This is the one I ended up wearing to the wedding. It was really simple, so I was able to do fun jewelry with it, and it was incredibly comfortable- great for dancing and moving around all night long. The bodice has a sweat band and built in cups, so even as a DD Cup, I didn't have to wear a bra, and it kept everything in place all night long. I didn't need Spanx either (thank god for empire-waisted dresses). My only gripe is that the dress was really long. I had regular length, and even with 3-4" heels on, I was still picking up the dress as I walked so I didn't step on it or trip. This dress does run a bit small, I'm usually a 14W, but they only had the 16W to send to me in this dress, and I'm glad they did, because the 14W may have been limiting my ability to breathe. I would definitely recommend this dress- simple, pretty, and nice for almost any occasion!

Even though I didn't end up wearing it, this dress was stunning!
I ended up ordering a few dresses for a December 20th wedding, and RTR had to send me a bunch of replacements due to damage to the dresses I originally selected. I tried all of them on so that I could review them. This dress looked great on. It had a good amount of stretch, wasn't too heavy, and was fairly comfortable. Also, don't let the model fool you, if you are a C cup or larger, you're going to get some cleavage in this dress. It did have a good sized area for the bust though. It also wasn't too long, it hit me just about right for 2-3" heels. I loved the gold accents on it as well. It is a more fitted dress, but it did run a bit large. I could get away without spanx in the larger size, so if you want it to be really form fitting, order a size down, if you want it a bit loose, order your actual size, and if you want it really loose, order a size up. I definitely would order this dress again, and actually wear it out to an event this time!

This dress was so comfy and sparkles like crazy!
I loved this dress! It had the perfect amount of stretch and was extremely comfortable. I can definitely say that if you have a c cup or more, get ready for some cleavage. I loved the way I looked, and I got a ton of compliments on the dress. I read that the sequins can itch under your arms, so I just wore a black shrug and it worked perfectly. The gathered fabric around the midsection of the dress also is quite flattering and forgiving. I loved the color too! I definitely recommend this dress. It hits right above the knee, great color, and lots of sparkle without being overwhelming.
