Perfect for my baby shower!
I wore this for my baby shower- I went up 2 sizes and 1 for the back up. The 10R would have fit but the 12R was more comfortable. I used a little wrinkle release on the neck and sleeve ruffles and it was perfect! There isn't much stretch to the dress but there is enough fabric by sizing up to accommodate a bump - and I was 33 weeks wearing it. I like the more tailored look the dress give me and my bump which may not be for everyone but loved it! All the fit profile information is pre-baby. The photo may be too close up but you'll see how the waist cinches in and you have a pretty back detail too - such a pretty way to celebrate your baby girl!

Roomy for your baby bump too!
I didn't wind up wearing this dress but it has some weight to it and is a very pretty pink! I ordered 2 sizes up from my normal size to accommodate my 33 week bump and there's a possibility I could have sized down one size but my chest has also increased with my baby bump. It's a beautiful dress and it was helpful to see some other expecting ladies wearing it to see it could have been an option in the first place. You'll see my stats - those are not while pregnant! I went with the XL to be on the safe side.

I felt amazing for my baby shower!
I had my shower in October and it was a 70° day here in New England - this dress was the perfect weight! The color is more of a purple blue but beautiful. The dress is made out of a very nice and thick stretchy material - sort of neoprene-like but not really. The sleeves are actually made out of a thinner material and that was perfect for our temps! So keep that in mind if you're worried the long sleeves would be hot. They're not! I followed the advice from other renters and figured my normal size probably would have been an 8 or a 10 and then went up one more size for the 12. It fit perfectly and I am 33 weeks pregnant! It was so comfortable and I received so many compliments. It's one of those dresses that is made really well- I'm sure it'd be amazing when not expecting too! There is no zipper so you just throw it over your head and that's it! In a nutshell - it's classy while being comfortable and perfect to celebrate any occasion with - even when you're expecting! (I took this picture the night I got the dress so don't mind my lack of makeup or the Halloween decor!)

Myself & another had great taste at a charity event ;)
True to size but with Badgley Mischka dresses, they're never as long as I'd like them to be- I'm 5'10". Still a gorgeous gown in Navy sequins that I received many compliments on. It's very comfortable even with a high slit. Someone else had the same dress on but we laughed and said what great taste we had :) beautiful dress, no need for a brand - the strap keeps you in and you're good to go! 4 stars because of the length, otherwise a lovely dress!

Gorgeous gown!
I have rented a Theia dress before (Black Matte) and I could have gone with either the 6L or 8L - the 8L had no neck closure so I went with that. For the Their Edinburgh gown, the sizes seemed no different than the next. I wore a 10L but could have gone with the 8L but it wasn't available. The length was not what I was expecting. It was much shorter than the Black Matte dress but still worked for my event. The dress had beautiful gold and silver embroidery on the lace as well as a built in bustier. Beautiful gown but at 5'10", it wasn't touching the floor in front and that's what I would have wanted and what would have given it 5 stars. Kind of curious as to why there's such a discrepancy within the brand like I experienced. Still love Theia though!

Perfect dress for a daytime party by the beach!
A beautiful dress for a South Carolina graduation party in June! The material is thick and allows for the option of a bra or not. The hem is adorable and was a fun dress to wear. I tend to pour over reviews in order to find the right fit and so I followed the advice of others and went one size down to the 6. The stomach area has a little more fabric so that can kind of bag for some reason. I might have tried to 4 to negate the bagging but I figured with the heat, I wouldn't want something much tighter. A beautiful dress with a beautiful pattern! I loved it!

Beautiful for a formal affair!
This dress actually has mesh inserts on the side that doesn't come across in the photo on the site. I didn't wind up wearing this dress but it was beautiful. It fit true to size and would not have needed to wear a bra. Rent the Runway has incredible customer service- I called the day after my dress didn't arrive due to a blizzard and worked with Sammi to have a backup dress sent to my hotel where the event I was attending was happening- 6 hours away from where I live! I was in a bind and RTR came through big. I've always been a big advocate for the company and will continue to spread the good word! Thank you so much!

Fit like it was made for me!
I first tried on the 6L and could have gone that route because it fit like a glove. It had a neck closure that the 8L didn't have and it looked better without it. I went with the 8L and it was slightly longer and fit just slightly larger and so I went with that. I did not wear a bra or tape because the fabric was thick and very comfortable. I stood out and loved this dress very much!

Beautiful dress!
I rented this for a June wedding at a lawn club in Connecticut and it was perfect. The 6 fit well but then I wanted to be comfortable dancing and definitely eating. I went with the 8 and it worked out perfectly. Everything about the dress was great and the back was beautiful. The small ruffle around the waist was a nice touch and you can't go wrong with Lilly Pulitzer!

Sparkly and fun!
These earrings were a great size and perfect for the wedding I attended. Lots of sparkle and not too big and not too small. They showed up really well in photos too! I paired these with the Dress Me Up Bracelet and it was perfect. Loved them!
