Rented this for a formal military function, and I loved it!!! I love the flirty style with revealing shoulders which was sexy while at the same time covering an area I don't always like - my upper arms. The dress was really comfortable too. I got compliments on this dress all night! I also rented the Slate and Willow 'Crystal Stretch Bracelet' (pictured here) to go with it. I would definitely rent this gown again! Can't recommend more highly!

If I could give these earrings 7 stars I would! They are spectacular! Perfect size and stunning sparkle that would complement any formal or black tie outfit! I would even say that these are such showstoppers on their own that you probably wouldn't even need to wear other jewelry with them as they really command attention all by themselves. RTR, please keep these in your inventory because I am definitely renting these again (and again)!

If you want a beautiful gown where you stand out in a sea of dark colors and where you don't have to worry about how everything is squeezing into a form-fitting gown, then this gown is wonderful choice! Beautiful, vibrant red color and flowing romantic fabric. I felt very comfortable all night and didn't have to worry about how my problem areas were being showcased because this style was not form fitted or revealing (except in the bosom...more to follow on that). The only area of concern with this gown was the chest area because the neckline is low cut. I had to use fashion tape in order to tape the fabric down so that I wouldn't be revealing my chest to everyone all night! The tape worked great (I highly recommend Hollywood fashion tape for anyone needing to do this)! Regarding the size, I am glad I read previous reviews about the gown running large so to size down because my normal size of 8R was sold out, so I was able to order down to a 6L which was one of the few sizes still available for my dates, and it fit perfectly! I am 5'7" and don't normally like to order long lengths because I don't like the gown to be touching the floor and be constantly stepping on them hem, but I had no choice with this one as the 6R was sold out. It wasn't too much of an issue, but I did have to be mindful of not stepping on the gown as it did completely cover my shoes/feet when wearing a 2-inch heel. Great rental overall!

I rented this for a professional dinner we attended. The dress was very nice, and I stood out in the pretty red color in a sea of dark colors! The material was much thinner than I was expecting, but it was not an issue. Nice dress. Love the pretty shoulders that also give some cover to the upper arms, which is always a good thing or me.

Loved this gown. It's figure skimming shape is so flattering along with the gorgeous royal blue color made it a wonderful choice for a formal event. I wore the 10R and even at 5'7" the length was perfect with the dress sitting right atop my my feet, so I had no need to hold the dress up at all. The lace top was so elegant and decorative and the figure flattering shape of the dress made me feel beautiful and feminine. No bra is needed for this gown as it has built in bra padding; besides you cant' wear any type of bra because you can see through the lace all the way around the top. I also didn't realize that a little bit of side breast is viewable through the dress, but it was not an issue because my arms hang right where that area is, so it wasn't noticeable at all. Paired the dress with my dependable pair of Spanx, which was very necessary given the fitted nature of the dress, but together they made for a gorgeous and elegant look. I definitely felt like a million bucks. I wore this dress with the Nicole Miller Southern Plantation Earrings and also the Kate Spade Paradise Found Turtle ring, which looked amazing with this dress! I would definitely rent this entire ensemble again!

Gorgeous red chiffon gown with lots of room to feel comfortable and also conceal mid-section areas, if needed. I would say because of the looser, flowy style of the dress, you could potentially go a size down. I fit into both the 6L and 8L, and while the 6 looked a bit better fitted, it was just snug enough around my rib cage that I thought I may not be comfortable in it after eating a meal and sitting down for a period of time. Thus, I wore the 8, and it felt so comfortable with plenty of room to sit, eat and breathe. I am 5'7" and the long was a great length, and the dress pretty well covered my shoes so that they were hardly visible. This was great because it allowed me to wear nice 3-inch sandals that were more comfortable, but that were not exactly formal shoes, but no one could really see them anyway so it didn't matter. I paired the dress with the Seeing Double Earrings and Gold Ainsley Cuff bracelet which were the perfect complement of gold color against the beautiful red color.

Loved these simple but gorgeous gold earrings! They were the perfect sparkly complement to the red Badgley Mischka Ruby Red Gala Gown. I also paired it with the Kendra Scott Gold Ainsley Cuff bracelet. The gold jewelry looked so stunning against the bright red dress. I would definitely rent these earrings again!

These earrings were even more stunning in person than in any photos. The perfect pop to my outfit! I wish I could buy them because they are definitely earrings I could see myself wearing over and over again for formal events. Highly recommend.

I absolutely LOVED this dress! The color is a darker coral than in the website photo, which appears more orange, and it was exactly the shade I was looking for. I normally wear an 8 and the 8L fit perfectly, but I wish I had gone with the 8R because at 5'7" and even with 3 inch heels on, the dress was still just a tad longer than I would have preferred. I had to hold it up when I walked and the bottom got caught under my heel a few times, so I had to be careful with that. I am an hourglass shape and the dress fit perfectly in all the right places flattering all the right curves. I wore adhesive push up bra cups which worked great and spanx to smooth everything out. This was my first time using RTR, and overall the experience was fantastic! The only complaint I have is that this dress arrived with a STRONG stench of body odor on the armpit areas. Even the back-up dress I ordered (10R) and didn't use had a bad body odor scent on the armpits, although not quite as bad as the size I ended up wearing. I wiped the area profusely with baby wipes to try to get it out, which only helped a little, but I was conscious not to lift my arms up much during the event (good thing there was no dancing) because I was paranoid that I would wreak. I sprayed perfume on my upper arms, and everything seemed to work out fine. Overall, a beautiful dress and a great first time experience!
