very cute, good fit and flattering because of the smocking, but it was pretty sheer!

comfy enough to wear on a flight
the color and fit of this is so flattering!! the one thing to note is the slit of this dress is centered and comes up pretty high. i just wore bike shorts so i was comfy but if i didn’t i probably would’ve flashed quite a few people! i received sooo many compliments- want to try the orange shade next but might need to wait until summer comes back around!

perfect wedding guest dress!
the color and fit of this dress is so flattering!! i loved how comfortable it was but still had enough weight to lay properly. the shine is not overwhelming! i tried boob tape with this and it didn’t really make much of a difference because of the way the neckline lays and has a gap between the two covering pieces - which is great because sticky boobs worked just fine.

dress barn quality
i ended up wearing this set to a gala and looked amazing but i had a TON of issues with this set. it is not up to badgley mischka standards and has an RTR tag sewn in so take that as you will. the collar would not stay down, it was poorly sewn and constructed and too thick, kept rolling/popping up. sleeves were a weird length, borderline short. the fit is not as oversized as it is on model, i'd say this runs 2 sizes too small for fit wanted. not structured as expected. the pink is bright.

side zip why tho
idk who made this bc it says badgley mischka but the quality is definitely not there. it was fine bc i was wearing the blazer over it but: - side zipper: awful, worried i'd bust out any minute. - lining: kept peaking out the bottom of the pants and was attached weird! these are thick. i'm usually a 16 and took the 14 and they fit well. i think 16 would've been too long/baggy but would've fit better in the stomach bc of the side zipper.

weird fit but pretty color
normally i am a 14/16. i've worn fame & partners in a 16 numerous times but really needed a dress for a gala i was asked to go to for work last minute. the color and neckline on this is beautiful but i had quite a few issues with this dress so did not end up wearing it. rented a 22. it was (obviously) huge but in weird places. i think i would've needed an 18 (still 2 sizes bigger than normal) for this to fit properly. the belt is weirdly designed and not cinchable and the back seam is odd.

cute just not comfy
this was cute, but a bit short in the torso and the leg holes were small, had a tiny bit of effort getting my feet through. i would wear this if i weren't working from home, the shorter torso makes it a bit uncomfortable to sit in for long periods!

not consistent w Rebecca taylor sizing
maybe this is her junior line and i'm just a dummy who can't read but this sizing around the chest is wildly small...much smaller than typical RT dresses, including wrap dresses. there's also a weirdly high placement on the silver (in a white dress) button on the chest so i'm not sure this would even stay closed for a bustier woman. also EXTREMELY sheer, unlined for a designer dress? whyyyyy

most things run small...not this!
i have no idea what's going on with the top of this dress. i thought it'd fit like a reformation dress? this is a 16, i'm typically between 14/16 with a small bust but wide rib cage and no idea what this fit is supposed to be...the lining was smaller than the actual dress, so it's not like this was made for extremely busty women, although it would work!

I luv u
I waited so long to rent this and then of course, the day I get it was the same day isolation started. I wore it twice and kept it for 2 weeks, didn't love it as much as anticipated, fit a little short and tight in the sleeves and was more fitted at my waist than others. I'm more a 14/16 though so it fit properly all things considered. amazing color!!

wrap dress perfection
I love everything about this dress. the wrap fit perfectly, no need to pin the chest and it didn't gape at all. the material is a little silkier in person, which I worried would appear very church-dressy, but it didn't. it actually helped because the fabrication was a little thicker to prevent show through, since it's a white dress. I can't wait to re-rent when quarantine days are over!

interesting fabric
the fabric of this was like swishy pants from back in the day. it's definitely more structured and a tad shiny. not sure how this would do in the summer because the fabric might be a little hot, but the fit was crazy flattering and the sleeves were cuuuute!

i wish i could buy this but i'll just rent it a few times instead! the colors and fit are great but this is a smidge short to wear without tights! i typically wear a 14/16 and this fit me well without being tight in the arms or in the chest.

looks better in person!!
the fabric is gorgeous!!! i really loved this buuuut it's a bit short. i think it would be super cute in spring/summer once it gets warm but wear bike shorts. the fabric is definitely light enough to blow up in the wind!

cute but short
really loved this. rented during winter to see how short it would be with tights, not sure i could get away with this without them. it could be cute in summer with some espadrilles, will try it again! the sleeves hit at an odd spot but i still liked how voluminous they were!!

found my fav dress ever from rebecca taylor so i branched our and rented another...oof! sizing was way small! just reminds me that rebecca taylor sizing may not be consistent, but the fabric and print was beautiful and i would've loved this had it fit!

perfection
typically a 14/16 so I worried about this 12 from ulla but I knew it didn't have a zipper + elastic waist. it's a little tight but I don't have much of a bust so it works for me! can't wait to wear this out and about. considering purchasing as a summer staple

the material
look, I love a good poly stretch. this dress, however, is made of a thick, cheap feeling poly stretch!! I was bummed. this particular fabric makes the print feel very lame! no offense to dress barn, but this is the type of mass produced material you'd find there. because of the material, and that is a fake wrap, it doesn't hang on the body like a pretty spring dress should. if it had been a light poly, it would be beautiful! happy I rented this during a wfh period :)

lusted and lost
I really thought this would fit because I rented anther Jason wu the week before and this one had elastic. however, if you have any width to your ribs, this designer is hit or miss in being able to zip up. unfortunately, this didn't leave the fitting room. also I worried this would be sheer and it's not.

print dreams
got this nwt and was a little intimidated by the print at first, this is no subtle piece. ended up wearing it twice, once on the weekend for our and about and once to work. the colors are beautiful! fit is interesting. so, this is a fit and flare but the fabric is stiffer with a tiny bit of stretch. i'm wide ribbed but small chested, so the top was a little loose on me but everywhere else fit perfect. obsessed with the puff sleeve, the belt was difficult so I ended up looping the end through

love love loooove
i'm warning you: this is SHINY AS HECK. like, lurex ad glitter to the max. you can embrace it and pair it with glitter boots and a bright yellow puffa jacket by bacon, or you can just not rent it. i would totally rent this again in the sprint to wear with a black leather jacket. loved. plenty of stretch but it doesn't flare out at the stomach *too much* so i did wear bike shorts for a lil compression there so the pleats weren't clingy.

i'm sick of tights and all black. i needed this pop of color and bare legged lewk on a 37 degree hump day!! love the fit of this although i think the belt could be lower in the front for a more flattering silhouette. love the sleeves and love the pop of color. this is obviously a spring/summer dress but who writes the rules?

new year!
chose this without tights for NYE! it was so beautiful when dressed up, made me feel glam. the top allows you to push it down off the shoulders more for a deeper neckline. i think this could be a great wedding guest dress, it's easy to dance and move in.

wore this for a surprise birthday staycation at TWA and the color popped with all the red. loved the fit but it was a lil clingy on the stomach. this was great with tights, i could imagine it being dressed up more with bare legs and heels. this would look cute with a red lip and leather jacket for fall!

cuuuute
i wore this with a sparkly dress and didn't really wear my hair up so they were not that visible. however, when they were visible, i did get compliments, they're not heavy and pretty subtle if you're just looking for a hint of sparkle. would be fine to even wear to work! v versatile

YES
for my wide rib cage, broad shouldered, tummy having plus girls -- this is a win. it hits at the perfect place right below the waist, making it possible to show off your booty with jeans or leggings. i wore this over a derek lam dress specifically because of the yellow pop, but also got a ton of compliments when pairing it with black jeans to travel upstate. also -- MUCH warmer than i thought it would be considering how light it is.

last minute pick
grabbed this off the rack in the nyc flagship to replace a dress that didn't fit and it was new with tags!! wore it for almost 2 weeks. i would always go with an xl but the l was perfect for me, and i could wear layers underneath since it's not heavy. it was warmer than expected and the colors are beautiful!

re-rented!
rented this in the summer but it did that weird thing where it pushed the tops of my boobs down. i decided to re-rent and make it winter - uniqlo turtleneck bodysuit + tights + velvet headband. LOOOVE. so many compliments. the fabric is great for cold weather. i'd try this with a sweater on top, too, since the skirt of this dress is so beautifully pleated and flowy.

if you currently have this dress rented in 14/16 pls return
i didn't end up wearing this for NYE and now i want to wear it for a wedding next week - can y'all return your dang 14 or 16 as it runs big in the tummy and i can buy some spanks? someone has had both sizes out for like 3 weeks SOS girl! love this dress, velvet and shiny with a leg slit *chef's kiss*

easy!
i waited to rent this for so long! ended up throwing it over a black turtleneck with black skinny jeans and boots so it was the main attraction. fits true to size, but my shoulders are a bit broader. the colors aren't as bright in person in my opinion, perhaps because there's a lot of the rust/pale pink color with the purples and teal thrown about. would love to pair this with a brighter outfit in the spring!

what a win!
i layered this over a flowy pleated zara cami too that had matchingish lace detail to this duster and black skinnies, add glitter boots for ba-bow! love!! i was worried this wouldn't fit/look great because it isn't technically a 14/16 friendly brand, but the stretch in this was great. it's meant to be open a bit so that worked in my favor. super comfortable and so many compliments. i think this could be cute over a LBD too!

great size bag! i liked how the opening was covered with a white leather drawstring piece, made it feel secure when going around nyc with my visiting family. also fits on the shoulder with a great drop length, but doesn't fit a lot in the bag. the red was such a great shade, i had initially listed after the black but this was in the store and i had an extra spot. love!

compliments galore!!
these pants go better with the matching blazer, don't @ me. I got more compliments on this outfit than any other thing I've ever rented. I ended up getting sick and missed a holiday party so I wore it to work on a Tuesday and wowed everyone. pants are TTS. I'm definitely a true 16 in the waist, with thinner hips. the legs and calf area were pretty huge for me but I couldn't size down because of the waist. the color is a true berry and very sparkly. don't let it deter you - rent the set.

yes and yes but...
... you MUST rent this with the matching pants and wear it together. I DARE you. I've never received so many compliments on my outfit since I've started doing RTR than I did in this. click over to my review of the pants to see them with glitter boots. fabric is much more of a berry color, very shiny, and this blazer runs large. not huge but definitely try to size down one size. I have broader shoulders and this was a little swimmy on me! enjoy!!!

short!
beautiful fabric and comfortable fit. his my tummy and the colors were saturated and pop for fall/winter. however, I'm 5'7"ish and this was short on me. I had to wear thicker tights and couldn't bend over. I think this dress would be so beautiful with booties and no tights but it wouldn't be realistic for me. would rent again!!

my plus girls rejoice!!
i'm between 14/16 and the xl fit me perfectly! not too tight in the arms or across the chest. the colors in this are great - 70s chic. i wouldn't wear this without tights because it's a bit short. also -- this dress is extremely heavy...nice because it didn't blow up and it was cold the day i wore it but something to note if you have shoulder/back issues, it's not a light dress by any means.

fell in love with this skirt. perfect with a bodysuit, a leather jacket, and white Nike's. this could easily be dressed up for a cute date night. uhhhhhh - I wish I had taken a photo because I'm 5'7" and pulled this up to be high waisted and it hit mid calf. a lot of the photos don't do it justice because they have the waistband sitting too low, making it a maxi skirt.

wore this for a themed party! i loved it but had to size up because it runs tight in the waist! unfortunately, it caused the dress to be quite loose in the chest since i don't have double d's to fill it out. not a ton of stretch in this one but still worked for what i needed it for!
