Great silhouette!
I rented this dress to be Adele in a revue-style tribute to female music heroes and was so pleased with RTR's customer service. This was not the original dress I rented, but the size that I had originally ordered was not available and they sent a backup style in that size. However, the arms did not fit and they ended up overnighting me one size up from the original style and size I had wanted....and it was perfect! Sexy and fun without being too much, great length and a great scenario for RTR to flex their service muscles and create a dedicated customer.

Subtle ruching and vibrant color
I rented this dress for a"Mad Men" themed Christmas party. The shape and feel was very vintage, but the color made it pop. Though it was a little short, paired with nude tights and nude heels and there were no issues. I was easily able to wear a bra, and the ruching was flattering without being fussy.

Nice silhouette and added pizazz for a glamorous wedding
I've rented several Badgley dresses and the fit was as usual-- comfortably fitted through the midsection and normally placed for the arms. This ultimately was a little short for my liking (not a big fan of my thighs) and did show the nude slip when sitting, but not enough to worry too much about. Otherwise, attention-grabbing and confidence-boosting

Subtle color shift emphasizes shape
Loved this dress! My band and I were performers at a regional awards show, and this dress was comfortable and slimming to add to my stage presence. The sequins looked especially awesome in stage lights. The regular length ended up being a little bit short to wear with heels, but not terribly obvious. Very form-fitting, so shape wear was a must. Body-con enough to not wear a bra with my C-cup!

The leg slit added major zest
I rented this dress for a tribute show to female music artists-- 2nd year using RTR to be Adele! Great choice this year-- comfortable, though fitted just below the bust line. While the deep-v is made more modest with a nude underlay (underneath the lace), the slit adds some extra va-va-voom. Just barely skimmed the floor in 3+ in heels

Great sparkle, highlights curves
I rented this dress for a Great Gatsby-themed New Years party and it was perfect for it. Lots of compliments and "yeah, I totally rented it" stories. I'm usually a solid 16, with "skinny days" a 14, but I did end up going with the 18 (my back up) on this one due to a really stark cling difference in the mid-section between the 16 and 18. The arms and chest were pretty big, but I just made sure I kept pulling it up. Boning mildly uncomfortable, but nothing I was concerned about for a rental. At 5'7", the length was just right with a 2.5 inch heel. I did not need to wear a bra.

Not what I expected, I did not end up wearing this dress.
In photos, the dress appeared to have a classic shape with just enough sparkle to keep things interesting for the formal New Years Eve party I was attending. I'm not sure if it was just the specific dress I received or the true coloring, but it was a much brighter "baby blue" with sort of a grey-ish/worn overtone to it that made it seem more dowdy than I had hoped. The fit was fine, very typical sheath. However, it also came in two unattached pieces, a simple silky under layer, and the sparkly overlay, which made it wrinkle sort of strangely. Between the unfortunate color tone and matronly sparkle, I did not wear this dress.

I wore the dress for my boyfriend's work anniversary gala
The dress fit really well, I loved it! It perhaps ran a little small as I usually wear a large (12/14) in dress size, but the XL was a much better fit in length with the ruching and tighter arms. The length was definitely appropriate for me, about two inches above knee.There was a bit of extra fabric around the middle, but was not unflattering. I was definitely glad I wore my hair up, those sequins are wicked. I was really happy with the whole RTR experience, the pictures and user perspectives are so helpful!
