Fun silhouette!
I received this dress from RTR as my original choice was no longer available. I was nervous about the dropped waist, but the dress was super flattering! I loved the texture of the polka dots. I received many compliments at my bridal shower. My mother thinks I should buy this dress.

Rhapsody in Blue
Loved this dress! I rented an 18 and a 20, both were a little large but I made do with the 18 and tucked the straps into my bra. I had to wear flats as we were at the top of a ski lodge in Colorado that required walking around on trails, etc. so the regular length was just fine for me. I received so many compliments. The dress photographs well and moves very nicely on the dance floor. Repeat rental for sure!

gorgeous blue
This was a backup dress. The sheath style is typically a style that suits my frame, but the fabric was too heavy and didn't sit quite right.

Pink Dream
Loved the sparkle of this! The pink is a vibrant hue, and the sparkles made it festive for a Holiday Party at a social club. I stood out amongst the typical reds, greens, and standard black sequins of holiday parties!

Rhapsody In Blue
Loved the high-low skirt of this dress! I received many compliments the entire night. The flowers were a vivid blue and added to the elegance of the entire dress. The bodice fit, and even with my large (38D) chest, there was still some odd room in the bust area, however not noticeable in photos.

Pink Dream!
This was a lovely dress for a holiday party! The pink was a welcome sight among a sea of black, gold, green, and red dresses. I enjoyed the hi-low of the dress, and the front came just above the knee.

Edgy & Chic
This dress takes a classic silhouette and pumps it up with a peplum and an edgy addition to the right shoulder. I attended Le Diner SF, an all white picnic pop-up party, and received SO many compliments. The dress fit well, and was super comfortable. I would rent it again, and if it wasn't sold out online through the retailer, I would buy it!

Modern Glam
I did not wear this dress as the size I rented (20WL) was too big and made the cutout and the gold accents hit in weird places. This is supposed to be form fitting, otherwise it looses its appeal! This is a comfortable dress, although the gold may present some problems to sensitive skin under the arms.

EDIT 8/8/15 MV: Wore this for the 125th Anniversary Celebration for The University Club of San Francisco! I felt fabulous and received numerous comments in person and on social media. Great fit, great cut. Rented the 18 and the 20, wore the 18 I rented this dress as a backup for an event and did not end up wearing it as it was a little too fancy for the affair. However, I am currently trying to find an event where I can rent this dress again as it is very pretty! With kitten heels on my 5'8" frame, the hem of the back was about an inch off the floor, so no tripping! The top part of the hem in the front hit my thighs at a flattering point, so I did not look stumpy. The color is true to the picture, and the dress is quite fluffy, especially in the bustle. The cleavage is deeper than on the model, and the back is quite low. A regular bra shows in the back. Would definitely pick this again!

Double Up Dress

Size Worn: 18WR
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 38D
High fashion and polished look
I wore this to an evening with the San Francisco Ballet, #Sensorium, a night merging the classical arts with social media. I got so many compliments on my dress! It was very modern, and polished looking. It was very comfortable and a great color. Although a little loose, the dress was not ill-fitting as the darting is done well for the sheath part of the dress and is almost body-con. Would rent again!

Va-va-voom!
I loved the cut of this dress! The length of the Long dress was perfect for my 5'8" frame and I could wear kitten heels with it. It is definitely less purple and more blue in hue in person. I felt fabulous. :)

Classic look
I did not wear this dress, it was a back up. I rented the 22WL, and the 22 was way too big. The length was perfect though for my 5'8" frame. I would rent this for a black tie wedding or more classic party, just in a small size.

Wanted to love these
I rented these to go with the Badgeley Mischka Gold Front and Center Gown for a black tie event, and sadly I did not wear them. They are clip ons (not piercing) and very heavy for this type of attachment. My ears could not handle them.

Everything I wanted!
This dress was absolutely gorgeous! I rented the 20WL and the 18WL and wore the 18WL. The Long was perfect for my 5'8" frame and the kitten heels I wore. My arms by the end of the evening were thoroughly scratched by the sequins, but I did not mind it as I felt fabulous.

The dress is a beautiful cobalt blue! I was very on-trend with the rest of the attendees in lace as well. It was perfect for the event!

Phenomenal statement piece!
I wore these with the Green Badgley Mischka Get Lucky Dress and these statement earrings were a fantastic complement to the head to toe sparkle of the dress! The bling did not compete with the dress at all. I would rent these again.

The dress fit the theme of the party very well and looked great among the xmas trees and lights
The dress was a great color for my skin tone and hair and fit the theme of the Christmas Tree Lot party very well. It is a bodycon style, with little to no give, so I fidgeted quite a lot. Size up if you can!

Too small
This was my backup dress, and it was way too small! It looked gorgeous, but I would not have been able to get the zipper past my chest. I am thankful this was only the back up and the original dress I ordered fit.

Fabulous silhouette!
The regular dress was too short, so I used the bigger size for a little bit of length. If you are 5'8", I would highly suggest renting the Long size!
