Gorgeous blouse that doesn't wear well.
I wanted to love this so so much. The pattern is beautiful and it's obviously high quality fabric & craftsmanship. I ended up wearing a camisole under it because without double-stick tape there was simply no other way. I'm not sure if maybe the XS would've been better? It seemed like there should've been a higher-up fastener. As for the tie on the side, it doesn't stay put in a bow. I think this one's better-suited to a night out or situations that are more cleavage-friendly.

So so so tight
I'm honestly not even sure I could've fit into the large. And if I had been able too, I think they're a bit tight to be work-appropriate.

Fun work dress
This goes with the theme: "I did not feel like wearing a suit." This dress is comfortable (again, no shimmying it down my hips every time I walk somewhere!). You can pair it with rad tights and/or shoes and feel like a badass fashionista worker bee! And it's another one I kinda wished I had snagged for my personal collection...

The perfect work pants
I usually avoid wider-leg pants, but this are a dream. They're a perfect fit, they go with a ton of blouses even though they're a bright color. I would definitely opt for heels in these as flats made me look a little stubby (despite being 5'9"). My biggest mistake was not purchasing them :-(

N-O-P-E
Ooph. At first (based on the RTR photo), I thought this would be a great, slightly edgy work skirt! I put it on with a white blouse and there were immediately issues. First, there's a functionally SUPER high thigh slit where it wraps around (partly I think because it runs a little on the small side). I tried it as a high-waisted skirt, a low-rise skirt, NOTHING WORKED. So then I thought, "fine, I'll use it for date night." Well. Not with a white blouse I didn't. I looked in the mirror and I looked like Frau Farbissina. The material is simply TOO black-shiny and a little too 3rd Reich. It looked a bit better with a colorful (NOT RED) top. At dinner though, I sat down in my chair and that high slit came back to haunt me. I think it's just poorly designed.

Attractive, but work-appropriate
I love a comfortable work dress! I gave a presentation in this dress and never once felt self-conscious or needed to shimmy in down my hips. And SO nice to wear something other than a suit for once!

Fun, comfortable work (or dinner out) pants
I love all things dVf so I'm not surprised I love this. I selected "true to size" because they mostly are...maybe just a slight lean to the "runs large" side. They're uber-comfy and a great, versatile pattern. I got tons of compliments at work (I'm at a clinic and in a hospital), and I felt like I could easily transition to drinks or dinner out post-work. Plus they are flat or heel friendly!

Beautiful dress, runs large
Ooph. I was really looking forward to wearing this to work in the winter, but it's enormous! I don't do skin-tight to work by any means, but this was ridiculous. I'm typically wearing an 8 and most "mediums" fit me. Not this time :-(

Comfortable, Fun LBD
This was a back-up dress that I ordered and I am SO glad that I did. My intended was a total non-starter, so I was hugely relieved that this one worked out. Since I hadn't really planned to wear it, I hadn't brought along a stick-on bra (note the deep-deep V in the back...), but fortunately my black strapless bra worked out fine (everyone I asked promised it wasn't noticeable). I was secure enough to dance at the wedding. Not my favorite dress I've ever rented, but comfortable and worked out well!

Perfectly Sized Purse
I love that this purse has the versatility to be both a clutch and a crossbody (but not one of those obnoxiously long one that hangs below your butt). It easily fit my phone, wallet, lipgloss & hand-cream, plus had a zippered pocket for the security of my hotel key (you never know when these parties can get a little crazy!). Would absolutely rent it again. PLUS since it's a neutral metallic, it'll go with just about anything (perfect for me, because I usually rent 2 dresses, for #options )

Gorgeous comfortable dress!
I feel like I can never go wrong with Nicole Miller! I was a little nervous that I wouldn't feel secure with the backlessness of this dress, but that wasn't the case at all. The cut is flattering and it's more unique than a lot of the dresses out there. Oh yea...and I could eat without feeling like I was showing off a foodbaby! Definitely recommend!

Beautiful comfortable dress - perfect for dancing the night away!
This dress runs somewhere between true to size & slightly large (at least in the bust). I'm usually between a 4 & 6 and the 4 was definitely the better fit. The colors are classic, but the pattern is pretty fun & original. It is SO comfortable, and POCKETS!!! (Need I say more?) Love the back too.

"Business" enough for a work function, but fun enough for the after-party!
Such a gorgeous color! Very comfortable dress and didn't need a bra (or have to worry about how to hide one with the side cut-outs). The fabric was a little more delicate (thin, but not cheap) than I was expecting, so I did wear pasties. I usually wear a 4 in Nicole Miller, but the fabric was so thin that I was more comfortable in the 6 with a little extra room. Would definitely wear again!

Perfect Ensemble
I've always been happy with my rentals from RTR, but this dress (and Mystery Bling - gorgeous Kate Spade statement necklace) was as perfect as I could have wished for! The design is unique and it was SO COMFORTABLE! I got tons of compliments at the gala we attended. I'm usually somewhere between a 4 and a 6 (mostly due to my hips), but with the A-line cut of the skirt, the 4L was the ideal size. I'm 5'9" and wore 4-inch heels and the length was perfect. I'm a 34C and was never in danger of falling out of the top, but at times wished I had used a little bit of double-stick tape. I would rent this dress over & over & over again. 100% recommend!

Super comfortable dress, accentuates curves in all the right places! If you're 5'9" or taller, always get the Long option!

Comfortable and Flattering!
I am absolutely in love with Nicole Miller. I have not had a single dress go wrong for me. I've lost a little weight, so while the size 6 fits, the size 4 is a little more flattering. The cuts bring out all your best features! Even with the smaller size, I would recommend a strapless bra--there's not quite enough support up top. And if you're at all tall, go long. With 4-inch heels, the longer length was JUST right.

I have never had a bad experience with Nicole Miller! The cut is very slimming and though I did wear a strapless bra, you can probably get away with a traditional bra. The 6R and 4R both fit well, but I've lost a little weight recently and was glad I had the 4R.

Gorgeous and COMFORTABLE
I love this dress. Totally worth the price. I wore it to a smaller Mardi Gras ball and it was certainly a hit. I ordered the 44L & 40L (the 42L was unavailable). The 40L was doable, but left NOTHING to the imagination. Even in the 44L I seriously considered going commando. Had the 42L been available, I probably could have gone bra-less, but in the 44L I was a little less secure. I'd recommend fashion tape though. The bottom of my bra kept peeking out from the side cut-outs. Bottom line is, this is a dress I would seriously consider owning. It's flattering to just about every figure & with the smooth jersey fabric (which looks more formal than you'd imagine), you'll consider falling asleep in it after your stellar night out!

Stunning look with no bra straps!
Great to wear with a backless dress for a night out...unless your night is going to involve a lot of dancing. I never had any "slip-ups" but I definitely was wary all night. It does the job, but you're not going to feel too secure.

What a dress! Absolutely beautiful, comfortable and definitely true to size--tight in all the right places! Ended up not wearing it to my event because it wasn't quite out there enough for a Mardi Gras (ended up with gold sequined number!). Will definitely be renting again for a more subdued event.

Perfect Mardi Gras Ballgown
Possibly my favorite dress that I've ever owned. Not only did it fit perfectly, it was COMFORTABLE!! My only beef with it was the upper seam on the left side of the bust kept flipping over. There's just more fabric on that side. It wasn't fixable with double-sided tape or safety pins. I ended up doing a lot of readjusting, but overall I was pretty happy.
