Floral Dress Worn to a Bridal Shower
I ended up wearing the Medium because the Small was too tight in the chest. If you have a larger bust, I would recommend sizing up. I also had to pin it a little higher up to conceal some cleavage. I liked this dress, but it wasn't my favorite. It does not travel well as you can see in the picture... it wrinkles very easily. I actually brought my travel steamer and steamed it prior to the shower, but it wrinkled just on the car ride to the event.

Perfect Sparkly Dress for an Evening Wedding
After reading the reviews, I knew that the dress was going to be sparkly, and I actually really liked that about it. It gave it a little something extra. I loved the fit and the pockets. I wore this to a semi-outdoor wedding and paired it with a shawl, tights and pumps. I felt it fit true to size but was tight in the chest area for me.

Love the sequins for New Years Eve
I rented this dress for NYE and loved all of the sparkle! I felt it was true to size and would order one size up as your backup if you want a looser fit. I ended up wearing the small and was comfortable dancing the night away. It is short as you can see in the picture. I also paired it with a leather jacket, tights and heels.

Fun floral printed Kate Spade dress
I rented this for my best friend's surprise engagement party. My only complaint was that it was short, and I wish I had worn tights to keep it more conservative. I followed others' recommendations and sized down. I typically wear a size 2 or 4 and thought the XS fit perfectly. I received several compliments and would definitely rent this one again!

Pretty floral embroidery
This was one of my replacement dresses that I did not end up wearing but loved it. It just wasn't as dressy as my other options for a "semi-formal" event for work. I felt it ran true to size. There is beautiful floral detail throughout.

Beautiful high-low dress with gold shimmer
I wore this dress for my work Christmas party which was considered to be "semi-formal" attire. I highly recommend renting this dress and was complimented all night. It is a great high-low dress, and I loved the gold detail. I loved that since it was a high-low the gold that is inside the fabric is visible around your legs. I thought it looked great with my gold heels. As others recommended, you definitely need to size up. I am typically a size 2 or 4 and the 6 fit me perfectly.

Fun, ruffle detail!
Loved the fit of this dress. It's a perfect length hitting about mid-thigh. I felt it was true to size. It required some steaming to get out the wrinkles. I would recommend wearing a racerback bra or adjust the straps. With a regular bra, my straps were poking out of the back.

As you can see by the photo, I did not end up wearing this to a black tie wedding. The girls were busting out. The bigger size was a little better so definitely size up. However, I would not choose this for a wedding. A formal event or a ball would be more appropriate for the ta-tas to be on display.

Hot, off the shoulder, black formal gown
Highly recommend this dress. I wore this to a black tie wedding and received numerous compliments. My only complaint is that I am 5'7" and the dress stopped at the floor when I was flat foot. I ordered a 4L, so I would worry about anyone that is taller. I wore heels and decided it looked okay, but would've preferred that the dress be longer as it is pictured on the model. Included a photo of the shoes.

Love the flowy skirt
This was a backup dress that was delivered, and I decided not to wear it. I loved the dress and felt it was very comfortable with the flowy skirt. However, it is tight around the ribcage. I would recommend sizing up. Overall, it didn't feel as "black tie" as my original dress.

Perfect dress for a country music concert
I wore this to a country music concert in New Orleans. My only complaint is that the material is very heavy, so it would've been warm during the day. Luckily, our event was indoors, so it was great in the a/c. The fabric had a denim feel/look to it. I loved the bell sleeves and the embroidered flowers. It is a "mini", so it ran shorter on me (5'7"). I felt it was true to size.

Lightweight, off the shoulder, great length, and fun paisley pattern
Loved the fit and length of this dress. I wore it during Memorial Day weekend in New Orleans. It is a perfect dress for the hot weather since it is super lightweight. Also, the sleeves are elastic, so they can be scrunched up. Highly recommend ordering this dress and felt it was true to size.

Fun, daytime, vacation dress
I liked that this dress was loose and flowy. It is perfect for a hot summer day or night. I also received several compliments. However, it runs very large. I would definitely order a size down. I felt that it did not accentuate my figure and would've preferred a smaller size.

Lightweight, navy, polka dot blazer
I rented this for a work conference and really liked it. It was a standout piece and I thought it paired well with my gold pants. Unfortunately, the clasp was broken, but I probably would not have clasped it anyways. The material is lightweight and has a bit of a shine to it. Overall, I would recommend this blazer and felt it was true to size.

Casual striped blazer
I enjoyed renting this blazer for a work conference. It is more casual and the sleeves are not lined. It felt odd rolling them up since they were unlined. However, it is lightweight enough that I just scrunched the sleeves up instead. It is longer and fits true to size.

Fun back detail; perfect for vacation
This dress fit me very tight in the chest area and loose everywhere else. I tried on the medium, and it was looser in the top, but my husband said it looked like a "nightgown". Needless to say, I wore the small. I loved the fun back detail and included a picture of it. I would highly recommend this dress and thought it was perfect for our beach vacation with the fun coral print!

Fun dark blue, floral dress with tie-waist
This is a beautiful dress. I am 5'7", and it hit me right at the knee. I also chose to tie it in the back rather than the front like the model is wearing it. I ordered both the small and medium and wore the medium to give me more room in the chest area. (I am a 32D.) The small would've fit, but I wanted it to be looser and more comfortable for the wedding. I also wore this to a baby boy shower earlier in the day and thought it was perfect for that event too.

Very girly, embroidered dress
I wore this dress to my birthday brunch in NYC. It is fun and very girly. My husband said the colors reminded him of Christmas lights which I thought was great! As with other Badgley Mischka's that I have rented, I found that it ran just a little small. I mostly noticed it in the arms. Unfortunately, they did not have my backup size available, but I was able to make my size work. I loved it and would definitely recommend! Lots of compliments.

NYC Birthday Date Night - Bright Lights, Bright Dress
This is a very fun dress that shines brightly throughout the evening. My husband said he could spot me from across a very crowded room. It is perfect for special occasions. When it arrived, I thought that it was more blue than the online version. I like blue, so I loved it! It also runs small. This is my second time renting a sequin Badgley Mischka, and I had to size up both times. Highly recommend for a fun outing!

Beautiful dress with a touch of gold in the skirt
I loved this dress and received several compliments. One thing I did not realize prior to renting is the skirt has some gold, shimmery thread woven into the design. It is a very pretty dress, and it was super comfortable. It hit slightly above my knees, so I would consider this a more conservative dress. I would highly recommend it!

Fun, flirty, off the shoulder dress
I rented this dress for a date night and really enjoyed wearing it. It is a bright color blue and was very comfortable to wear. It was very baggy on the top which is why I gave it three stars. I probably could have gone down another size. Overall, I would recommend this dress if you are looking for something fun to wear, but I would size down for your backup dress.

Beautiful dress with floral applique
Luckily, my first choice dress was unavailable, and I received this one which was my upgraded style. I felt so pretty in this dress and decided to wear it with my black strappy pumps vs. the nude pumps. I posted both pictures. The only reason I knocked off one star is because some of the flowers were folded over, and I felt the hemline was a little long. Overall, I would highly recommend renting this dress.

Striped Dress Perfect for Daytime Events
I wore this dress to my brother-in-law's graduation and received several compliments. It is somewhat stretchy, and I felt the 2 fit better than the 4. The straps are also stretchy which I thought was neat. As other reviewers have mentioned, there was an issue with the slip showing on the sides. Luckily, I was prepared and packed double-sided tape and safety pins. I let customer service know and hopefully they will fix the issue. I also included a photo of the dress with a jean jacket which I wore to dinner. I thought it paired well for a more casual look.

Floral Dress for Easter Sunday
This is a beautiful dress for any dressy daytime event. I added a gold skinny belt to give it some shape, but it was cute without it too. It really depends on how comfortable you want to be. It also seems like it would be a good dress to wear with a baby bump since there was so much room in the middle. I felt that it ran a tad bit large, and I ordered a 2 based on other reviews. I typically wear a 2 or 4 depending on the dress style and felt that this was a good fit for me.

Sequin Dress for Company Christmas Party in NOLA
I love, love, loved this dress. I received several compliments, and it is a showstopper for sure. I loved the open back and high boat neckline. It was almost like, "Business in front, party in the back". I typically wear a size 4 so I feel it is true to size. I would size up if you are sometimes between sizes. There is a hidden zipper which I did not realize at first. It makes it much easier. The only reason I am giving it a four-star review is because my dress arrived damaged. The hemline had fallen in the front and sequins were missing in the bust. I have notified RTR, so hopefully no one else receives it damaged. Other than that, I would highly recommend it!

Classy and comfortable dress, received several compliments!
I ordered sizes 2 and 4 and had a hard time deciding which one to wear. Ultimately, I decided to go with the 2 since it was a little more slimmed and tailored fit. I really enjoyed wearing this dress and received many compliments. It was an easy dress to wear and was very comfortable. I wore it with a NuBra since it is backless. I am not sure why, but in my mind, I was picturing the back to go lower. It went to about mid-back on me which was perfectly fine. Overall, I would definitely recommend this dress!

Anniversary Date Dress
I wore this to our anniversary dinner, and felt sexy in this dress. It is very tight. I had to size up. My hubby definitely liked it! The color is more of a maroon or garnet color. It is not red as it appears online. Highly recommend sizing up. I also would not recommend this dress for a long evening. For a dinner date, it was perfect, but it would be uncomfortable if I had to spend hours in it.

I really liked this dress. I loved the blue color and the asymmetrical neckline. The length of the dress hit right above my knee, so it is great if you are looking for something a little more conservative. Personally, I thought that it was a little long. That would be my only complaint. Overall, great dress, and it fit beautifully.
