Very cute, but VERY short, tall women beware!
This would have been adorable, but it was was to short to be worn to the wedding I rented it for. Was a bit snug (I am more often a 16 than a 14 but can swing in it some designers) but with my larger chest the material just lifted right up and instead of classy and sexy it was like an 80s mini dress/paris hilton's limo gaffe. Not a good look. Shame! It was well made and the color was beautiful. Great for a petite woman, or more boyish figured.

Comfortable and Classic.
I usually wear a 14/16 or a 14W at the largest, and the 14W of this dress was roomy-- it actually made me look bigger/wider than I am because there isn't much of a defined waist and I have an ample bust. If I had rented this for a wedding or formal affair I would have been bummed, but I was wearing it for an event I was working, where comfort is key, so it turned out to be a blessing. The zipper in the back (gold/brass) added some style and it was easy to wear. I got a LOT of compliments on the dress (especially the color, which is more orange/coral in person than peach) so overall, another RTR win. Roomiest for this busty girl in waist/hips, arms fit comfortably loose.

Great dress, looked more expensive in person!
Flattering! I'm between a 14W and 16W so there isn't a lot of variety available to me. I was pleasantly surprised with this dress. I thought because it didn't have much of a waist it would look like a potato sack on me, but sizing down I found it to be a flattering, but comfortable dress for a wedding. Dancing and eating didn't make it any less comfortable. Be careful about bracelets as the lacy fabric catches. Got compliments all night!

Gorgeous Set-- Love that you can split them up!
Perfect compliment for a black tie gown, but might be a bit much for a less formal affair. They have a bit more gold hue in some of them than in the picture, but that made the piece the ideal bridge between my silver/diamond earrings and my gold/nude shoes & bag. Not heavy at all. Fun!

Great bling, not heavy.
I wore these for a black-tie wedding and though they were my second choice (my first choice pearls and diamonds, and better matched a gold/nude sparkly clutch) these were gorgeous too. They weren't heavy and I forgot I had them on until I laid my head down at the end of the night!

Life-saver of a backup.
I originally rented the glittery "Award Winner" gown and found that despite ordering the long, it was still too short for me to wear with any kind of heel (I'm 5'9" plus). It was also a little tight around the bust and mid-section. I didn't have a backup rented, but since the wedding I was attending happened to be in the NYC area, I made a walk-in stop at the up-town showroom. Though I had to wait a while, I was helped by the nicest people. It really made the experience. This 14L was way too big up top (I could have worn the 12L) but I fell in love with the drape, the drama (and the coverage!) so decided to wear it, and relied heavily on garment tape in the neckline and straps to keep everything in place (without it I would have flashed the whole event). The length was perfectly floor-skimming with my 2 1/2 in heels, and with my own normal bra and spanx open bust body suit I felt super-comfortable/confident all night. I received compliments ALL night from friends and strangers alike (the first one was "You look like you're straight out of a Hollywood red-carpet" which was what I was going for with the first, gown, so score!) Oddly enough, from bathroom conversations I discovered ALL of the women at this black-tie spring wedding who were stunning in colorful dresses had rented from RTR! :-) The secret is out.

Unique!
These are great earrings. I usually don't wear clips-ons, and these were a little tight, but totally worth it. I didn't end up wearing them to the event I rented them for, but wore them all day at work with a black dress and jacket, and got a lot of compliments! I hope to rent them again!

Gorgeous retro look!
These earrings are beautiful. They have an art-deco feel to them and are perfect for an old Hollywood look. I didn't wear them to the event I rented them for (because I had to swap my dress) but I loved them so much I wore them to work with a more casual outfit, and they still looked great. They are not heavy at all, and were comfortable on.

Beautiful
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear this piece because it was damaged by the previous renter, but it is a beautiful piece... I for one love rose gold and would like to see more rose gold pieces on the site! :-) RTR was great with customer service for my order, making sure I was happy with my final product.

A pretty piece.
This bracelet was sent to me as a replacement because the Rose Gold Bangle set I rented was damaged by the previous renter. It was a pretty piece, substantial but lightweight on the wrist, but I didn't end up wearing it. It's much more "gold" than the rose gold it looks like in the picture. But, it has a fun edge to it and is a little something different if you want to spice up a traditional outfit, and the magnet was super strong-- no chance it's falling off.

GORGEOUS gown, but tall girls might want to pass
This was my first RTR experience. I rented this gown for a black tie wedding. I had a few reservations about something so form-fitting, since I have a larger bust and tend to be self-conscious of my problem area-- my tummy. Though it is a body con fit, it wasn't skin tight, and the back was just stunning! Since I am tall and have a long torso I was able to wear a regular bra and open-bust spanx garment without it showing in the back (just used a little Hollywood tape to secure it). I would have happily worn this gown, but even with my 1 1/2" shoes and the "long" length, it was SHORT!! I am 5'9" and standing flat on the ground with no shoes, the gown *just* grazed the floor. Since I was going for the flowing Hollywood look and only had heels to wear (I searched for sparkly flats but couldn't find something that worked!) I passed on this dress in favor of another Badgley Mischka (the red chiffon). Overall it was a great experience and I loved the dress, but tall girls might want to pass!
