Tip - you can wear it backward!
Absolutely loved this dress. However, when I first tried it on, the smocking on the front ended right at the end of my ribs, rather than my waist, and made my torso look a bit thick. I also didn't love having the bow strings hang down the front of my shoulder. I decided to try it backward and it immediately became super-flattering! The smocking then ended just below the bust and it looked great. This dress photographed beautifully and was very comfortable and light. Perfect for a summer event!

SO SMALL!
I am shocked by how tight this dress was on me. I have a petite frame and generally find that even most 0/XS sizes run a little big. I've also worn many things by Bailey 44 and have found that a 0 fits well. Not so with this dress - I could hardly get the 0 to zip around my ribcage (and my band size is a 30), and I was just busting out of it. There's no way I could have worn it out of the house. I did not order a backup size, so can't attest to how the 2 would have fit. I highly recommend sizing up, even if, like me, you normally ignore that advice because the smaller size always fits best.

Great blazer for work and everyday
I initially rented this blazer as a more casual work option (it worked great for that), but I ended up wearing it just as often on the weekends. This blazer looks amazing with jeans and is great for spring - it's heavy enough for wet, drizzly days, but a little more polished than a cardigan. It's super comfortable and fits quite well. I wore it both buttoned and unbuttoned and it looked great either way. I like to wear my sleeves at 3/4 length because my wrists are small and look a little silly with a gaping blazer sleeve surrounding them. I was able to push up the sleeves on this blazer and the fabric was thick enough that the sleeves stayed that way for most of the day (a huge plus in my book).

Perfect Summer Work Dress
This dress is light and airy, and a beautiful shade of blue. It is perfect for work in the summer. I normally wear a 0 in dresses (sometimes a 2 in Theory due to wider hips) and a 24-25 in jeans. I rented the 0, and it fit very well - a tad snug in the hips, which is always an issue for me, but the 2 would have been too loose everywhere else. Because of the snug fit in the hips, the dress appeared a tad short - certainly still workplace-appropriate, but hit about an inch and a half above the knee for me (and shorter when sitting). Overall, a really great dress for work and more conservative events in the summer, like church.

Comfortable and Stylish
I love these pants! I frequently have issues with work pants getting baggy in the knees throughout the day, making me look a little sloppy, but I had no issues with these. I normally wear a size 0/size 24-25 in pants/jeans, and the 0 fit great. It was certainly snug, particularly around the butt, but didn't cause a muffin top or look too skintight for work, and I think a larger size would have looked a bit too wrinkly and messy. The material is super lightweight and stretchy, but looks high quality and doesn't give off that "yoga pants" vibe like work pants that are made of ponte. The gunmetal of the zipper is subtle enough that you can wear to even a more conservative workplace. I felt very stylish, and will definitely rent again!

Perfect NYE Dress!
This dress is sparkly and flattering - perfect for New Year's Eve. The color is darker and more navy than silver, which I liked even better. The cut of the neck and arms meant that it would have been difficult to wear a bra without it showing - however, the fabric and sequins are thick enough that it's not necessary. The XS felt a little short, but the fit was perfect otherwise, so I went with it. The short length wasn't really an issue unless I bent down, plus I was wearing tights, so it didn't look scandalous at all. This was definitely my favorite NYE dress - I might rent it again next year! It's fun and holiday-appropriate but the dark color and streamlined cut makes it a little more sophisticated than a lot of the other sequined offerings. Can't recommend it enough!

Pretty Valentine's Day Dress!
I loved the color of this dress - brownish purple. The color and weight made it perfect for winter, especially with tights. The material is flattering, but you definitely can't be bloated without the dress highlighting it. It does, however, nicely accent an hourglass shape. The one thing I didn't like about the dress is that the top was not flattering on me. I have wide shoulders, even for an hourglass, and the skinny straps and squared bust just made the shape more pronounced. Someone a little more petite could probably pull it off much better. The top of the dress was very low, and the material is heavy, which makes it slip. I had to keep pulling it up so that my strapless bra did not peek out over the top. Overall though, a great date dress. My date was a much bigger fan of it than I was, so that's telling!

Fun and flattering for a party!
I wore this for an engagement cocktail party, and it was absolutely perfect. I wore it with tights and heels since it was winter. The event had varying levels of formality, but all of the dresses were short, and most men wore blazers, not suits. This fit in great - I think if you're young, you can wear something a little more fun, especially when the cut is conservative. I wish I had bought this dress, I'd certainly wear it again. It was incredibly comfortable and flattering, and the material is thick enough that undergarment lines are not visible.

Super fun print completely fit the theme!
I rented this for a theme concert, and it was perfect for the event. I usually wear a 0, and ordered the XS and S. The XS was perfect. Though the material is stretchy, it doesn't ride up the way a lot of dress do. The arms were a little big on me, but it wasn't terrible. I pulled the sleeves up a bit so they sat fitted on my forearms, which in my opinion looked a lot better than them being down and boxy. Not my favorite RTR, but a fun and comfortable dress!

Just sexy enough - absolutely perfect!
I normally wear a 0, and the 38 fit great. As others have mentioned, the straps are a little longer than most, but it wasn't a problem for me. I wore a strapless bra and it didn't peek over at all. The bust and waist fit absolutely great, and the skirt is just loose enough to skim curves without being over-the-top. It's perfect for any occasion - sexy, but conservative enough for a nice dinner out, a holiday party, even a night at the theater. The color is slightly darker in person, which I liked. The one negative for me was the zipper. It zipped fine when laying flat, but once it was on my body, I could not get it to fully zip. It felt like the zipper was getting stuck on something. It wasn't that it was too tight, either - I pinched together the fabric but still couldn't get it to do. I had to have my boyfriend help me, and he was astonished by how ridiculous the zipper was. I don't know what I would have done on my own! Hopefully the zipper on my dress was just a dud.

Wish I had purchased it!
Beautiful dress! I was very hesitant to rent this, as I've purchased an RVN dress in the past that ended up being way too tight. I ordered both the XS and the S, in case that happened again. The XS was certainly body con, but a very good fit, so I'd say it runs true to size. The design is absolutely beautiful, I really wish I had bought this dress! It's different but not so different that you couldn't wear it again. It was much shorter on me than on the model, which was fine, but I might size up if you want a longer length. Wish I had gotten more pictures in it, but overall, a great dress. Super comfortable too!

Beautiful New Year's Dress!
I was very happy with my whole RTR experience - I was taking this dress on vacation and it arrived right before I left - no need for my backup dress! I normally wear a 0 in Halston, and the XXS fit great. The dress went in at the waist, but it's not super body con, so it's great for a party where you'll be having some drinks (like NYE). So glad I rented because this is definitely a wear-once dress - it would be hard to repeat something this sparkly and noticeable! I gave it 4 stars because it was a little snug around my chest, and my hair kept getting caught on the sequins in back. Otherwise, perfect! Very comfortable, and a great length on me. Plus, the sequins gave it a little extra layer of warmth - always nice.

Too large, quality was lacking
I was very disappointed in this dress. A size 0 in BCBG is usually a great fit, but this dress was much too large. It fit fine in the chest area, but I would have preferred a bit more lining or coverage, as I could not wear a bra with this dress. The stomach/waist area was too big and the dress looked awkward. I would have had to be uncomfortably full for this to even fit properly. The back straps also did not sit flat against my back, and sort of hung off a bit, which looked terrible. I also felt that this dress looked very cheap.

Great fit, versatile and classic
The fit on this dress is incredible - I sometimes have trouble with a "0" being small enough, but the stretch on the bodice ensures that it fits like a glove - extremely flattering, and the flare is great. Paired with a statement necklace, this can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Customer service was also incredible - I ordered two dresses that were both too large, and they overnighted this dress to me, just in time for my event. I spoke with a customer service agent on the phone and she was incredibly helpful with finding a dress that fits with my taste and style. Overall, highly recommend for a variety of events!

Beautiful detail and soft, romantic colors make this a perfect date dress.
Not quite as fitted as it appears on the model - the dress appeared more like a shift on me but it was still gorgeous! The sequin clusters are a bit more sparkly in real life. Overall a very feminine and delicate dress, perfect for Valentine's day!

I rented these for a formal and did not end up wearing them. They look much prettier and more delicate in the picture, but in person they are a little clunky and not so sparkly. They also really weighed down my ear lobe when I tried them on (if you look closely at the photo, they are weighing down the model's ear too). Unless you wear big, heavy earrings all the time, I would not go with these.

As with most Nicole Millers, this fit snugly but perfectly. I had to struggle to get the back zipped up, as it is very tight around my chest, but once it was on, it was perfect and not uncomfortable at all. I wear a large B/small C so most 0s are a little snug in the chest area. I would recommend going with the size you usually wear because there is enough stretch in the dress that it will work. I'm 5'7" and 110 and the 0 fit really well, and was super flattering. This picture doesn't do it justice, the straps go up in a halter-like fashion and the back straps are really nice. The dress is also a deeper purple, with a metallic red undertone. Would highly recommend for a wedding, a formal, or a nice date night. Considering buying this dress because I know I'd wear it again. Absolutely loved.
