I glanced at myself in the mirror in the theater and thought, "Wow - I look like a movie star!"
My friend and I celebrated our birthdays by going to see Wicked. I wore the black eclipse dress with the Badgley Mischka Tiered Deco Earrings and the Chamak by Priya Kakkar Smoky Mirror Bangle set. The dress is gorgeous, but I definitely wouldn't rent it for a wedding - I can't imagine trying to dance in this dress. The off-the-shoulder straps do not stay put, and the bottom of the dress creeps up up up when you walk. Fortunately, most of our evening was sitting. There are 3 ways to wear this dress depending on how you wear the sleeves. I have broad shoulders and can't imagine wearing both sleeves on the side of my arms.

Black Eclipse Dress
HALSTON
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34D
Beautiful color and cut that flatters a large bust and a long waist! Perfect for dancing all night.
This is definitely a dress that looks better on than on the model. I have a large bust, a long waste and broad shoulders, and this dress was fabulous. The square neck is VERY flattering for a 34DD, and the A-line is very slimming through a long torso. I wore this for a fall (October) wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The earrings came as a part of the Stylist Surprise, and I really liked them. I would not have picked them out myself, but they really complimented the dress and completed the look. The shoes were mine - nude pumps like Kate Middleton's.

Beautiful and extremely comfortable
I was worried the material might make me look older than I am or that the jeweled embezzlement would look tacky, but it looks great! The peekaboo arms are very flattering, and I would absolutely rent this dress again. It have a hard time finding a dress that appropriately accentuates a large chest while also accentuating a smaller waist - this dress did a great job!

Sea Breeze Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34D
This was my first time renting from RTR, and I had a great experience. This dress is fabulous, is actually the size it says it is (I wear a 6 and the 6 fit perfectly) - I was concerned that runway dresses would run small. The only trouble I had was with the zipper. Because it's a hidden zipper, you have to be very careful not to get any fabric caught. I wore this to an upscale fundraiser and it was a hit.

I wore this dress to my boyfriend's sister's wedding, where I met a lot of his family for the first time. I got SO many compliments! Knowing I looked good made everything else easier.
This dress is definitely a size larger than you would expect. I normally wear a 6 and the 4 was a smidge loose (glad I listened to the reviews and ordered a size down). That being said, I wore it to a wedding and reception where there was a lot of dancing, and it was perfect. I got a TON of compliments. It was lightweight, breathable, and very comfortable. I'm a 34DD, and the top is flattering but very appropriate for a family wedding. Racerback bra needed.

Perfect for a wedding
I wore this dress to a November wedding in Orlando and it was absolutely perfect. Strangers were complimenting me on how classy it was, and I danced the night away without any problems. It's comfortable, beautiful, and easy to wear. I don't know if it was because I had just had a week of consecutive Thanksgiving dinners or if the dress runs a smidge small, but on the advice of the other reviews, I ordered my regular 6 and the sized up 8 and felt more comfortable in the 8 (although the size difference was barely noticeable). The color is more emerald than the photo looks - a gorgeous color. I sometimes have trouble with the bust of dresses, but this was great. A nice amount of cleavage, but not more than your grandma would approve of. I wore a regular nude bra with this, and the clasp was just showing between the bottom two buttons. Not very noticeable, but a lower-sitting bra would have worked better.

Perfect Lady Dress

Everyone LOVED the dress!
Gorgeous, TIGHT, and a bit risque. I'm a 34DD and normally fit into a 6. I ordered the Medium, and it fit LIKE A GLOVE. Do not underestimate how form fitting the dress is. What's great is how stretchy the dress is - it's very easy to move. The dress is not conducive to wearing a bra due to it's fabulous back, but it's tight enough to hold in the girls. Despite being a bit self conscious about how tight it was, I got a TON of compliments, and my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off me the whole night!
