I felt like such a fox. All eyes were on me.
I wore this dress for a date night out in New Orleans with my partner. (It was my birthday rental.) This is from Slate and Willow, RTR's in-house brand but the quality was just as good as any other designer dress. It's a definite step up from a typical LBD and the sleeves are to die for. I'm 5'11 and it was a little short but I was able to pull it off with tights. Overall, I felt super sexy in this dress and my boyfriend loved it. I may have to see if I can buy it!

Perfect for My "Melania" Costume
Inspired by Cecily Strong's knockout "Melania" impersonation on SNL, my partner decided to do a comedic sendup of DJT and his spouse for Halloween. So course I needed the perfect body-conscious white dress! The Badgley Mischka Maria dress fit the bill exactly. It is figure-hugging so if you have curves I recommend some good shapewear to keep things in check, so to speak. It was very comfortable to wear and had some stretch so it was comfortable easy to move in. The sparkles are just the right amount of bling without being tacky. Rent it!

Beautiful Dress But No-Go If You're Between Straight and Plus Size
The fabric of this dress is beautiful but less shiny than the photos and has an interesting texture to it. I'm tall and between a 12 and a 14 because of my generous hips and was unable to wear it because the 14W is really closer to a 16. It was very loose and baggy and would not have worked. A 14 R would have been fine, but unfortunately, they don't offer that size.

Beware, the long is REALLY long!
This dress was lovely but at 6' barefoot, I was shocked that it still dragged on the floor even with 4" heels! Overall, the 14 fit well even though I'm usually a 12 in Badgley Mischa. Fun to dance in and lots of compliments, though I did feel slightly overdressed as wedding guest.

Gorgeous flowy fabric, does the body good!
I'm so in love with this dress that I may just buy it! I rented it on a whim because RTR offered a special 3-for-1 weekend coupon. I'm 6ft and usually a 12 but am glad I went for the 14, which fit perfectly (I would rather have had it be a little loose than not be able to zip it at all). The only negative thing I will say is that it is lower cut on me than it appeared in the picture. I am not particularly big-busted but I would say that I am "ample" and I was happy to have some boob tape in my lingerie drawer. I felt exceptionally va-va-voom because of the deep-V neckline which definitely shows off the goods, if you know what I mean. Other than that, this dress is an absolute stunner and appropriate for everything from everyday wear to special occasions depending on how you accessorize it. Since I am so tall, it only reached to my ankles, but when I sat down, it kind of puddled onto the floor in beautiful chiffon cascade.

Subtle glam for day or night
Rented to add some panache to a job interview outfit and it fit the bill. It's not the most expensive-looking jewelry I've rented, but it is very trendy and went with my other pieces.

Beautiful clutch that I would love to own
This clutch is so glam, I could hardly believe that it only retails for about $70. It is so eye-catching and girlie, I was getting compliments on it all night. It even matched a unique pair of shoes I own so I was thrilled to have found it. I loved it so much, that I even contacted the designer to see if they have it in stock but alas, I have yet to hear back from them. I highly recommend renting this piece to add a splash of color and festivity to a little black dress, and you can't go wrong for the price.

Cute for the price but glitter everywhere
These bangles are adorable and pack plenty of sparkle. I enjoyed wearing them, but I am glad I did not pay more for the rental considering that they shed glitter everywhere. The dress I wore had to be dry cleaned because it was covered in little silver specs after a night out! That said, I still recommend them if you're looking for an affordable add-one to add an eye-catching sparkle to your outfit. They are a little on the flashy side though, I only wore three and that was plenty.

Warning: You may steal the show!
This is an incredible dress and surprisingly dramatic in real life. I ordered it one size up after reading the reviews and it fit perfectly. It's pretty long too. I'm six feet tall and the train almost touched the floor, even in my four-inch heels. Wearing this dress was a wonderful experience and I recommend it for any formal occasion. Be warned that it is quite a showstopper and might even upstage the bride a little... Everywhere I went, there were eyes on me (in a good way). The bodice is supposed to fit snugly. It has some boning to give it structure but is not uncomfortable. I wore it with an adhesive backless bra and it definitely showed the decolletage in a tasteful, classy way. My only complaint about it that it arrived very wrinkled and the wrinkles were stubborn to get out even with a steamer.
