I rented this dress to hide my mini baby bump and it did the trick. I liked that the dress was fitted underneath with the outer layer being loose. I almost felt like a superhero with a cape. The red is not as bold in person. It's more of a burgundy.

I rented size XSL and SL and for me, I felt like there was a big size difference between the XS and S; the small being too big. As far as the length, I was afraid the dress would be too short from reading the other reviews and so I chose the long, Whoa, way too long, I wore the highest wedges that I have and it still slightly dragged the ground.The dress is beautiful and very comfortable. I almost had reservations about wearing it when I took it out of the box though because it really is that bright. I quickly got over the shock. I wish I owned it :)

I rented this dress for a 20's themed party. The size 4 fit perfectly but was way too short. I practiced bending, reaching and sitting before I left the house and had to switch into the 6 for the extra length. It was a really pretty dress and something different. It would work for many other occasions; not solely Gatsby parties.

I was looking for a dress to wear to an evening wedding and since there were no reviews to go on, I really went out on a limb in choosing this one. It was particularly difficult because I am all over the board when it comes to sizing. I wear 4 in pants, 2-4 in dresses, and my shirts range from XS-M. I tried to get a feel of how Badgley Mischka runs by looking at other dresses and the reviews said they ran large so I decided to go with a size 2 with a backup in size 0. The size 2 buckled in the neckline but if I stood up super straight it wasn't so bad and after a while I noticed the dress was rubbing under my arms. The size 0 didn't have the buckling but it was so tight under my arms and I thought for sure if I bent down to pick something up the whole thing was going to split. Overall there wasn't a huge difference between the sizes so I'm thinking a size 4 may have worked but the buckling probably would have been worse. The green color is beautiful and sparkles like glitter but rest assured, no glitter! I kept with the metallic look and paired the dress with a gold clutch and gold shoes. Regular bra works fine. Underwear was a little tricky though. I honestly was having so much fun at the wedding that I didn't get any good pictures of the dress. I would recommend this dress but get your regular size and then get a back up in the next size up. I'll definitely be renting from RTR again.
