Lovely dress!

Sorry I don't have any pictures of this one. It was a gorgeous dress sent to me after my original didn't fit, and I couldn't have been happier. :-)

So many strangers came up to me to tell me how great the dress was!

This is my husband's and my favorite dress I've rented, and I've been renting for over 5 years! The main color is a gorgeous raspberry with a bubblegum hem. My favorite compliment was posing for the Extended Family picture (second picture here) and I overheard 2 women go "Do you see those shoes?" "Who cares about the shoes, have you ever seen a dress like that??" I'm 5'3", the shoes were 3.5 inch heels, and the hem in the back was JUST off the ground, as you can see. It was lots of fun to sweep up and hold while dancing, and my husband liked that he never stepped on my skirt (it's happened before). You will NOT regret renting this dress!

Was really looking forward to this dress, but I'm the wrong shape. :-(

My ribcage was just too large for this. everything else fit - even my boobs! - but I couldn't get it zipped past the bottom of my ribcage, though the sides of the zipper would meet further up. What a shame. Really pretty dress. Not as nude in real life as it appears online; I'd call the color "Toffee Rose".

Love at first sight!

I saw these earrings and immediately wanted them, so I rented them to go with the ML Sunshine dress. While they did work well with it, I had no jewelry that went with EVERYTHING so I ended up just wearing them to work on Friday and out to lunch on Sunday. I don't want to send them back tomorrow! They were heavy enough that I could feel them tugging on my earlobes and I think if I had worn them to the wedding, I would have taken them out before dancing, but I was able to wear them comfortably for about 10 hours on Friday.

This was even prettier in person!

I didn't find this on my own; I chatted with a stylist to help me choose accessories for my 80's themed birthday party. She found this necklace and I loved it so much I based my whole outfit on it (you can't see, but I had an aqua shirt and hot pink leggings to go with it). Would buy this in a heartbeat if I had that much disposable income!

This was the prefect party dress for both my brother's birthday and a romantic Valentine's dinner.

When I got the dress, I didn't want to take it off! I wore it with a black V-neck camisole because the neckline was VERY LOW. As in, the hook and eye to make it higher was at level with my sternum. However, the cami created a lovely sweet-heart neckline effect (and helped keep me warm in February weather!) Also worth noting, the pockets were great. I think I need to buy this dress, and soon!

Such a lovely dress for Easter!

This is a classic A-line dress, and the fabric is the perfect weight to hold its shape (a little heavy) yet still swirl (a little light). The yellow isn't as much of a buttercup as I expected, it's closer to mustard or golden. Loved the pocket! Oh, and there's an odd seam between the breasts; at first glance, my husband thought the dress came damaged, but that's just the way it is.

I apparently have a thicker neck than the average woman (14 inches circumference, if anyone was wondering), and the flowers dug in a little bit. Not painfully, but enough to leave small red marks by the end of the day.

This dress was wonderfully sexy and slinky without making me look like a bowling pin! Miraculous!

I usually have to size up in Badgley Mischka, but the stretchiness of this dress made that unnecessary. The 12R had seen a lot of love, and the hem was losing some sequins, but I only noticed the wear and tear AFTER I found sequins on the floor and worried. Being 5'4", it was long without heels, but with my 3.5" heels it was perfect, even had a little train (long enough to follow me, short enough not to get stepped on). The picture was taken at the end of the night (NYE) so the shoes are gone and my posture isn't the best, but that DRESS!!!

Loved the playful swing of the skirt!

I rented this dress for Christmas, but also wore it out for a dinner group date to a casual-formal steakhouse. As always, the swing of the skirt made me want to twirl, and my friend told me I looked like a "sexy fifties housewife"! The fabric felt like a good, thick cotton; heavy enough to maintain its lines and even be worn in December, but I think it wouldn't be too heavy for summer wear. One thing, the zipper was almost impossible, especially over the seams.

I was so excited to rent this (the bride wanted all bridesmaids in updos with something unique for pictures form the back/sides). I had the hair-lady pin it into my hair really well (I had 30 bobby-pins total in that updo) and it stayed from 8AM when it was put in until 3AM when the party finally ended. Gorgeous!

I wore a strapless bra with this dress (obviously), and wore it to work with a cardigan so I could leave right from work for my date. My husband liked the neckline (showed off the collar-bone) and I liked the swishy skirt. Win-win! I usually have to size up in Badgley Mischka, but in this one, I wore my usual size.

A gorgeous counterpoint to my (rented) white dress

These were a little heavy, but no big deal, my ears are tough! I wore these all day and then out to dinner. The next day I went to wear them again, but my ears hurt then. They're also rather large; I could see that in the pictures, but it was still surprising to take them out of the box!

Everyone was gushing over how special the trim made the dress - even strangers!

This is my favorite style dress, but it can be plain. The trim made this dress so unique! I loved the slimming lines of it (who doesn't love looking slimmer?), and my husband loved knowing that it was me showing through. Since it was at a family wedding I didn't advertise that it wasn't lined. For anyone worried about showing through, a nude bra and nude panties work just fine since most people will subconsciously fill in what they expect to see. I thought it ran large since I'm usually a 12-14 and the 10 fit easily. I wore the 12 (with a slip!) to work the day it was delivered and it was uncomfortably large, most specifically the back of the dress. The fabric has some weight to it and is just stiff enough to hold its shape, so whenever I sat down in the 12 the back of the neck rose up to my hairline and was very uncomfortable! I'd recommend sizing down in this!

Being told "You're a BOMBSHELL!"

I've gained some weight, so I had to wear the 14. As other reviewers have noted, the zipper is horrendous! It took 2 people to zip me into it, even with me holding the back of the dress! I highly recommend rubbing pencil lead or waxed paper on both sides of the zipper. This was an emergency replacement when my original "flapper" dress didn't fit. I'm afraid I was a tough (needy) customer, but RTR was great as usual, and overnighted me this beautiful dress! I was able to wear a normal bra with this, even with the deep-V front and back, which was a relief. It came to about my knees but that didn't seem overlong because the rest of the dress (shape, material) was so flirty. I'm planning on renting this in the other colors for some upcoming events!

These were a Mystery Bling that I wouldn't have chosen for myself, but they are gorgeous! We had a "Prohibition Speakeasy" themed party, so I made a note on my order that the Bling should follow that theme if possible, and the stylists did very well! Unfortunately, there are no pictures of me wearing them; my hair covered my ears. I wore these for work on Thursday and Friday, and for the party on Saturday, and they were quite comfortable.

Even my boss noticed my new dress - and he's a 50-something man!

My original dress didn't fit, so this was sent to me as a backup. At first it sat funny on top of my butt (I have kind of a large one), but after an hour or so it skimmed nicely. I was worried that the lace sleeves would be itchy, but they were actually really soft. I really loved this dress!

I felt so fun in this for New Years!

When my original dress didn't fit, this was sent to me as a last minute replacement. It had really fun and quirky look to it, and I got compliments all night from people, as well as on Facebook later. It's definitely a summer material, and it was very static-y, so I put a slip underneath.

All the compliments - they never get old!

I really like the fit/flare style, so this dress was right up my alley. As other reviewers have said, the "swoop" isn't as large as it appears on the model, and is rather high on the chest - *I* could see cleavage, but I'm sure no one else could. Also, the skirt had a lovely "twirl factor", which I had to show you all (I apologize for the blurriness of that one, but it was the least blurry of the bunch!). My only complaint (and it's minor) was that the seams in the sleeves were exposed and itched a bit, but I soon forgot about them and just enjoyed the dress!

Beautiful!

The flowers on this are MUCH larger than I anticipated, even after seeing the pictures online. I'd guess they were slightly saller than the size of a quarter in diameter. This meant that it was a heavy necklace. The dress I rented this to go with didn't fit, so everything had to go back, and I didn't wear this, but it would have been VERY heavy to wear for long.

I couldn't wear this dress because I couldn't get it zipped over my ribs. The girls fit, my ribs didn't; go figure. I have fairly large ribs, so I'm not surprised, just sad because this is a GORGEOUS dress! It looks so shiny in photos, but it's much more subtle in person. It's also got a lovely soft feel to the fabric. Oh, and it has pockets!

I rented this for Christmas, since my families (mine and in-laws) have lots of parties. Now 3 of 5 parties done, the dress has held up wonderfully! There's no wrinkles, no stains, and it still fits like a dream for day 2. It makes me look wonderfully slim and curvy (pictures to follow) without being inappropriate for family/church. It is a BRIGHT red that really stood out. For ladies with wider hips/butt like me, don't worry about the dropped waist - the inserts in the skirt flare out just right so I didn't end up looking like a bowling pin. One other thing, I'd recommend a slip - you could see the perfect outline of my bra and panties without it!

This was a fun, flirty dress that made me want to dance!

This dress is AMAZING! Everyone loved it; my husband, mother-in-law (!), sisters, and my students when I wore it to work all loved this dress, but I don't think any of them loved it like I did! It was wonderfully comfy and soft, and it hugged my curves without creating rolls in unflattering places. The skirt had a wonderful "swish-factor" and it made me want to twirl and do ballet in it (I may have pirouetted around the kitchen while under the influence of this dress). I really loved the little cut-outs in the shoulders - they gave it a little edge and made my husband's eyes widen (in that wonderful way) without being over-the-top. I cannot say enough how much I LOVED this dress! (Might have to go buy it...)

EVERYONE'S faces when they first saw me - even just the "test run" to be sure it fit!

I love, Love, LOVE this dress! It's got a very silky feel to the chiffon, unlike dresses I've worn previously (not from here) where it's been stiff. It's also VERY low-cut in the front. It hit me just under my sternum, which made wearing any bra impossible. I wore this dress to a wedding on Saturday and a BBQ on Sunday. I was wildly overdressed for the BBQ, but by far the most comfortable (the temp was in the 90's). Would definitely rent this again.

Pretty! But heavy with SHORT posts.

These earrings were gorgeous, but the posts were too short to be comfortable. They were my Mystery Bling, and a great choice for the dress I rented, but I already owned a pair that went better with it. Other reviewers have said (accurately!) that these were heavy; they were, but not excessively so, I've worn heavier for hours and hardly noticed (my ears are tough!), so if you routinely wear heavy earrings, don't worry about these being heavier than most.

These are the items I've gotten for my Mystery Bling. I've ordered it several times and gotten beautiful jewelry every time! It's always something that complements the dress to perfection, and it's always something that I would never have picked on my own. These people know their stuff!

Beautiful dress, but...

Other renters said this ran true to size to large, so I ordered my size (12) and a backup 10. Unfortunately, the 12 didn't fit in the hips and barely zipped all the way up. In this case, I should have ordered up a size with my real size as backup! I had to return the dress without wearing it and had no time due to the holiday to have a replacement shipped, so they're crediting this to my account for next time. Great RTR PEOPLE experience, I think I should order up next time for a good RTR DRESS experience.
