Super cute
I don’t usually go for cropped or fair isle, but loved this color combo so gave it a go. Cute! Perfect rental sweater and I would only want to wear once or twice. No need to own it.

Meant to be huge I suppose but really did not jive with me. And a little itchy.

Nice sweater, nothing special
A perfect rental sweater. Nice enough to wear once, but not special enough to buy.

Soft but odd fit
This had potential to be awesome but something about it just did not lay right when on, particular along my left side waist/hip.

Absurdly long sleeves

Fun easy summer work dress
I'm a borderline 8/10 and could have gone down a size. Really easy to wear and comfy.

More shimmery than expected, so not for work but great for date night
I was originally thinking of wearing this for work, but the material is quite shimmery, so better for a date night. I didn't find the straps too long like some other reviewers, but they are in a position that is unlikely to perfectly align with your standard bra straps. So if you rent, be prepared to go with a strapless bra, or have a plan to style it with a jacket or sweater or something. I wish I had a white jean jacket, but I made do with a white button down shirt, and I paired with some fun Cole Haan sneakers that have silver flowers to give it a casual summer date vibe.

Really like all dresses from this designer
Rented something very similar in grey with long sleeves, and something a bit different pattern, also sleeveless, from this designer. Dresses are comfy, stretchy, easy to wear. I'm a size 8/10, and probably could have gone down a size to the medium, but the large pictured here worked out ok.

Go Seahawks :)
Super comfy and easy to wear. I'm a size 8/10, and probably could have gone down to a medium but the large worked and wasn't skintight. Pattern is flattering and the colors are fun...particularly if you are a Seattle Seahawks fan like me!

Loved this dress, wore it to work twice. Super comfy and stayed where it should be...did not have to worry about too much cleavage! Love the asymmetric hemline too. Almost kept this one!

Great day to night dress, but probably better suited for fall
Very comfortable easy to wear and flattering dress. Probably could have gone down to Medium size, I had some extra room and it does have stretch.

Nice work shirt, could dress up or down
I might have gone a size up, to make it a bit more flow-y, and because the material was thick but had zero stretch so it felt a little tight across the bust.

Just a little too bridesmaid to wear
Fit great, but I wasn't a bridesmaid and didn't want to look like one. Plus the other dress I ordered just looked better.

Great for dancing and showing off strong shoulders
Fit beautifully. Didn't have to wear spanx, but a shaper did make for a nice smooth silhouette. Didn't need a strapless bra, just make sure you have a skin tone one that is racerback or convertible to racerback. The blue color is gorgeous in person and a total eye grabber. Trumpet shape skirt is dressy yet easy to walk and dance.

Stylish skirt but heavy
Fit was good, TTS. Just a bit heavy and more wintry than I want right now. I may re-rent this for work come November. Pairs nicely with form fitting black turtleneck and black boots.

Stretchy but substantial. The fabric really holds its shape, which is important with this collar. Got lots of compliments.

Great work dress for end of summer
Stretchy, definitely hugs the body so needs some spanx underneath for smoothing. The stripes, seaming, and hemline are unique and flattering.

Too short for work, but great for date night
Didn't end up wearing it because it was too short for work and I didn't have a date night coming up so sent it back so I could get some other unlimited picks. Very cute, just short on me.

Couldn't get it zipped up, unfortunately. Very nipped in at the waist and no give to the fabric. Too bad, it's cute for work.

Super cute and comfortable, compliment magnet
This dress is very easy to wear. Lots of stretch, cut to flatter, fun hemline, can dress up or down with various jewelry and shoe combinations. I loved it so much I immediately looked it up elsewhere and bought it! Keeper! Highly recommend renting.

Edgier take on a classic work sheath dress
Fits snugly but comfortably. Lots of stretch. Wear a good shaper, be sure bra is black, it might peak a boo thru the arm hole. Nice change from a basic work dress.

Compliment magnet!
I wore this for an "informal" night (read: dress or pantsuit required for ladies) on a relatively formal cruise line. So many compliments from strangers! Pros: Pockets! Flattering fit-n-flare for curvy body. Neckline shows off strong shoulders. Great summertime look. Light and airy, not too hot. Cons: Must be worn with strapless bra, and that bra is going to need to fit you 100%. If it's too small and there's any bubbling up over the top of the cups, that flat white top will totally show off your quadboob. (This dress made me realize I hadn't updated my nude strapless bra after having kids...whoops! Nordstrom to the rescue...) There's no stretch, and the waist is pretty cinched, so you may need to order a size up.

White Neutral Stripe Halter Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 34DDD/E
Incredibly comfortable and flattering
Pros: Very flattering style, really accentuates the hourglass curves. Roomy, little bit of stretch. I'm normally a 14 (although sometimes a 16, sometimes a 12!), and this 14W fit well with a little room to spare. Can wear for a big night out and not be scared that eating dinner will end up cutting off your circulation. Color is gorgeous, and I loved the flippy skirt. I wore this for an "informal" night on a relatively formal cruise line, and felt very well dressed for the evening and venue. Cons: Material is heavy, so if it's going to be a hot night, you might get sweaty. And the built in necklace was a bit beat up.
