Stunning dress! Beautiful burgundy, wine color and the fit is super flattering. Sleeves were not tight and it was very comfortable to wear. Use a strapless bra!

A casual dress perfect for fall
I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was too hot out for the material. It would make a great fall dress with tights and boots.

Striking color and style
This dress was beautiful though beware- the see through portion on the bottom makes the dress appear a lot shorter. I wore a short skirt under the dress so I could wear it to work. Still it was a gorgeous rental and very striking.

Delicate and Pretty
The dress is exactly as pictured, unless you're very tall. It's tea length so if you don't like that, don't rent it. It's very comfortable and easy to wear. The pockets were a bonus and the color was vibrant. It's a tad low cut but not terrible for work. The lace was really nice and the cut perfect for my curvy hips.

Simple but beautiful
The reviews are pretty accurate. This is a great dress. It has a sturdy zipper and the sleeves can be a little snug if you have muscular arms like I do. I didn't find them itchy, though. When you look in the mirror it doesn't look like anything special but it photographs beautifully. It's pretty tough to wear it in the summer as the material is a little thicker. It'd make for a great fall dress with black stockings and boots. Great rental!

Pretty dress
The material is thick but beautiful. The dress is lovely. It's a gorgeous option for a wedding, boating, a date, whatever. I didn't end up wearing it. I wasn't comfortable with the low cut v-neck and found it to be a little shorter than I preferred. The zipper was a little tough to get up but in a well-constructed way. You can wear a bra with this as long as it's low cut and racerback. It's a beautiful rental for the right body type- larger chest, small waist & hips.

Light and flirty
The colors in this dress are bright. It's very true to the picture. I'm a bit more curvy so the waist fit perfectly and then the pleated flow of the bottom half accommodated my hips. I wore it on a pretty windy day and I was surprised it didn't fly up more than it did. I think the slip underneath helped with that. I would have loved this dress to be a hair longer and a touch looser but it worked perfectly for a day out and about. A great dress to go dancing in!

I love DVF. Her fit and material, construction, all of it is perfection. This material is a little thick but only in the front. The back is all black thick spandex. Everything held in place really well without the use of any spanx and it was a classy choice for work. Loved this rental!

The quality and look of this dress is breathtaking. It would be perfect for a bridal shower, engagement party, wedding (if you're the bride) or any party! The zipper is sturdy and the lace is gorg! The sleeves were a touch tight but I have very muscular arms. An absolute rent-again! I should just buy it. STUNNING!

I loved the color combo on this purse. It was exactly what I needed for my bachelorette. Someone said it looked like a vintage old lady purse, but they meant it as a compliment. I thought it was perfect and fit everything I needed, phone, lipstick, face powder, cash, ID and credit cards. SO much better than a clutch when you're dancing all night long!

I knew I would love these earrings based on the other pictures and the fact that they're turquoise. I didn't want to return them. I didn't find them to be heavy, but I wear earrings daily, some heavier than others and these were comfortable. I danced in them all night for my Bachelorette and the backing was secure. I'm actually renting them again for another occasion!

Such a hot dress!
As the other girls have described, this dress does provide a little discomfort under the armpits but not too much. I wore it all night long for my bachelorette (from 6pm-4am) and didn't end up with a rash. I found it to be slightly hard to breath, I think a 12 would have fit better because I am pretty hippy. It was a stunner though. And yes, if you do have a smaller chest, the straps may be too long. It fit me perfectly. I paired it with the Kenneth Jay Lane Crystallized Aqua Drops and the Times Arrow Carmine Affine Bag and the turquoise and burgundy paring were perfect!

I was only able to fit my iPhone5, ID and a lipstick and I had to wiggle them around the gold chain that came attached to actually close the purse. It is a beauty. The navy crystals are simply stunning. The purse went together perfectly with the Badgley Mischka dress I rented. I will rent this again. Came in perfect condition!

These earrings worked perfectly with the Badgley Mishka dress I rented. They are big but eye catching and would have worked with my hair up or down. I received them in great condition and just noticed pink lint from the RTR box they came in. I rinsed them off with water and they sparkled like new. Love them and will rent again!

Glamorous, show stopper, just beautiful
I received so many compliments on this dress. It was very comfortable and even though I have pretty muscular arms, it fit very well through the arm, even a little loose. There's a zipper at each wrist so you can wear it closed or open, to flair out. The dress was incredibly flattering at the neckline, through the waist and hit a perfect spot on my leg. It is a little stretchy and does not itch, however the lining (which ran a little shorter than the dress) caused the sequined material to hit the back of my leg when I walked creating a small rash. It was in great shape, had all its beading, was very clean, save for a few long hairs stuck in the beading from other renters. Not a problem! I love the look of navy and black. Simply stunning!

Sexy but innocent
This dress is amazing. The fit is wonderful and super flattering. I almost wish I wore a belt with it to accentuate my waist a little more. The material is a little uncomfortable under the armpits like many other girls have said too but consider what you're wearing it for. I used it for my engagement pictures and it was worth the slight discomfort. I tried it on a BCBG store first, which I reccomend doing, or get it in two sizes and size up. I'm normally an 8 and got this in a 10 and it fit like a glove. I wore a strapless bra with it and lace up nude sandals. More pictures to come as soon as I get them!

This bag was perfect for my engagement shoot. It was surprisingly big enough to hold my cell phone (in it's case) a lip gloss and a powder compact! I would actually rent this bag again for my bachelorette since it also comes with a chain which would make it great for dancing. It MrAndMrs had a few scuff marks on it but nothing too noticable. It's worth the money!

Beautiful fit, color and material
I rented this dress to use as my second outfit for engagement pictures. It was lovely. Very feminine and the color is a bright watermelon. If you're shy about your chest I would say steer clear, it does show moderate cleavage but it is not at all over the top. The length is nice too. On me it came up to just above my knee and I'm 5'6". I loved this dress!

Very Pretty
I originally wanted to wear these with the Kate Spade Coated Confetti Necklace and the colors were spot on! I didn't end up wearing them together and opted for studs with the necklace and wore these earrings the next day. They are a little heavy not unbearable. I wouldn't purchase them for myself, but they were a great rental. Also arrived in perfect condition and pretty packaging.

This necklace was stunning! I didn't find it to be heavy at all and unlike some of the other comments, it sat splayed out perfectly, the way it is shown in the picture on the model. The colors were beautiful and the adjustable length was useful. I actually ended up buying this necklace from Kate Spade on sale before it arrived for my rental date because I knew it would be perfect. I was not disappointed.

Stunning but a little heavy
This was not what I rented, but was happy that it worked with my outfit and I received a few compliments on it. I found it to be a little heavy, though. I managed to fit my lipstick, a compact, my cell phone (without its case), a car key, a credit card and drivers license. Its a very pretty clutch and came in fantastic condition.

A fun, comfortable party dress
The material was different than I expected (in a good way). In the picture it looks as though it would be a stiffer shape but the cotton material made it more comfortable to wear. It was a bit tight in the rib cage area (but I also have a wider swimmers back and smaller waist, so that's a typical fit for me). Surprisingly, it did fit loose in the hip area even though I'm hippy. Also the zipper down the neck was convenient for showing a lot or a little cleavage. The pockets were adorable and useful and a handful of ladies complimented me on it at a fashion event! It's definitely a "look at me" kinda dress.

Great dress, recieved many compliments
My dress size ranges from 6-12 depending on the designer and style. I tried this dress on in the NYC showroom in a size 8. It fit very small especially in the chest area but I did like the print and "stepford wife" feel of the dress. The material is like a thicker taffeta and there is no give. So I ordered it in a 10 and 12. The 10 was still very tight in the chest but I was willing to deal with it, however the zipper in the back near my backside started to bunch up, so I wore the 12. It ended up being a little looser around the waist, ribcage and back but it wasn't noticable at all. I recieved a lot of compliments and the pockets were a nice addition. This is a beautiful dress!
