Aww really wanted to wear this!
It was just tad too tight around the ribs and I couldn't zip up the last inch! So sad.. the lace part was fitting just right, I'm not sure if size 8 would make the other areas too loose. Will have to try next time! Overall excellent quality material, would have loved to be able to wear it for the event!

classy, great quality dress, super comfortable.
loved how smooth it was against my skin, was cute, but a little big for me. I'd probably order size 4 next time. I'm short so the dress came to be right above my knees.

overall it was a fancy but fun outfit and very comfortable to wear.
I totally fit into size 4 but the zipper was a little difficult when it was almost up and my husband didn't want to 'force' it so I wore the 6. It was fine since I was going to a 10 course meal anyway :p so I didn't mind the extra room to expand ;) size 4 would've been snug fit, but not tight, still comfortable. it came to about mid-thigh on me, length wise. might be because of my butt... size 6 still looked good but it was slightly big around the waist. I thought about putting a belt with it but thought otherwise since i'd be eating 10 courses ;) hehehe. but yea that would've worked too. length came to about an inch or so lower than size 4, but didn't look too long. it was hard to match any necklace with the dress since the ribbon works to accessorize you already. i tried to get a full body shot from my husband but it was all blurry. but when I tried to take some in the bathroom, the pleats placement when it catches light to create harsh lines, it kinda make it look like you have a tummy :p fyi.

it's made of thin chiffon, so it really shows the wear and tear.
I got it in sizes 4 and 6 since i'm in between sizes, and both fit but not quite. size 6, I was more comfortable in it, but the breast area ..there were some extra material. maybe it was stretched out? size 4, it looked nicer but it was bit tight feeling around the chest. now the material. the chiffon is super thin material, and you can really see the wear and tear. there's pleats on the chest area that had lost form and looked like wrinkles, and oh because it's thinner chiffon it wrinkles a lot, came quite wrinkly from the box. the straps were really long too, but that I expected from the reviews. the bottons on the back kept on undoing themselves. so I decided to go with my back up dress. the good thing about this dress though is that the fly away skirt really feels nice. it makes you feel like a princess and from the back, the flair it makes while you walk is really pretty <3 I ended up wearing BADGLEY MISCHKA Faye Chiffon Gown for a friend's wedding and I loved it! I wore it with SLATE & WILLOW ACCESSORIES Dripping Arbor Necklace, and loved it. :) and RTR customer service rocks.

Overall it was beautiful quality, beautiful colored dress that made me feel very special :)
I rented the BADGLEY MISCHKA Faye Chiffon Gown for a friend's wedding and I loved it! I wore it with SLATE & WILLOW ACCESSORIES Dripping Arbor Necklaceand paired it with a scarf I had as a cover up for the church! The dress was actually my backup dress, and I'm in between sizes 4 and 6 right now. 6 fit well with my strapless bra, but I think 4 may have fit better. However, the clasp on the top of the zipper was missing when it came so I had to check the zipper once in awhile to make sure it's not open. I had to hike up the dress a little but I think it might have been due to the clasp issue (or maybe size 4 was a better fit for me, i'm not sure since I didn't try it out). Also the side boning was exposed so it was digging into my skin, which hurt starting about 1 hour into wearing the dress. :( I talked to RTR and they have an amazing customer service and offered compensation. But overall the dress material was very good quality, thicker chiffon that falls to the ground but still very light on. **oh and the zipper was really hard to work it! lol my friend and I worked on it for a full 30 mins the first time I tried it on.** Length was ordered for 6P but with my 5 inch heels it was barely above the ground. (maybe it was a 6R that was sent? there's no P/R info on the tag so I'm not sure what was actually sent to me) it was still bit too long and I had to carry some of the skirt in my hand at times to prevent myself/others from stepping on it. the main dress I ordered but didn't wear was: NICOLE MILLER Hi Lo Dream Gown due to the overall quality of the dress. the chiffon was too thin and too worn out.

Beautifully sparkly, heavy enough to not flip around, great quality!

I wore it with BADGLEY MISCHKA Faye Chiffon Gown and paired it with a scarf I had to cover up myself a little in the church! The necklace was gorgeous as well as the dress, and I got lots of compliments! Thumbs up. I'd rent this necklace again in a heartbeat!
