Pretty garden wedding dress
Wore this to a wedding that I attended on the same day I got engaged. The dress was easy to wear - kind of a crinkly, light fabric with a metallic sheen. I wore a regular bra. Nice, pretty, not too flashy but still fun.

Beautiful floral dress perfect for a Derby party
This is my favorite RTR dress EVER! The colors were just gorgeous and easy to match with lots of different accessories. I wore gold mostly and a navy hat. The dress had pockets and was super flattering. Zipper was a little bit sticky at first, but I have had issues with lots of RTR zippers (I think people beat them up trying to squeeze into dresses). I went a size up for my backup and was glad I did, because although the 6 fit fine, the armholes were cut in a way that would have let my bra show. Wearing the 8 put my mind at ease. I was able to wear a regular bra with this dress. Very cute, got tons of compliments. Would rent again!

Sexy body con dress for a red dress event
This dress made me feel great! It is reallllllly stretchy (looks tiny on a hanger) and it was kind of a challenge to wiggle in to, but once it was on, it was like wearing a Spanx dress. The fabric was thick and stayed put pretty well when I was walking around all night. Bra friendly - just wore a regular everyday bra with this. It definitely needs a fun necklace to spice up the outfit, so I was glad I rented a statement piece.

Rented for a red dress event
Didn't realize that this statement necklace had big chunks of plastic behind each gem/sparkle cluster. It looked kind of clunky before I put it on, but it went well with the Rouge Puzzle Solver dress.

Bright orange dress was fun for a fall wedding
Fun dress, little bit tricky with bra straps sticking out on a windy day when the fluttery sleeves would blow, but nothing big to worry about. Liked having pockets. This dress came a little bit wrinkled, but I hung it in the bathroom and the steam took the wrinkles right out. The dress is much brighter than it appears in the photos.

Junior League gala was a ball in this dress
I got so many compliments on this dress! The Long was very long - I am 5'10" and had 3 inch heels on, and it was still a bit of a tripping hazard. I love Badgley Mischka dresses (particularly gold sparkly ones), but the zipper on this was really difficult to zip. My poor boyfriend actually cut his finger trying to get a hold of it! I went braless with this dress and it worked great since there is kind of a sticky lining running right around the top of the dress. Be aware that the dress is fairly heavy on the hanger because of all the sequins. Once I had it on, I barely noticed the extra weight. Super fun dress for a very fancy event - be prepared to be the center of attention! I accessorized with a navy wrap and navy shoes.

Wore this to a gala I attended through work. Very pretty neckline.
This was a pretty but fairly simple dress. Nothing super flashy about it, but it was nice for a work event that I attended. RTR suggests wearing a strapless bra with this dress, and I did, but I probably could have gotten away with a regular bra with the straps let out. The back of the dress is totally bra friendly, but the very wide scoop neck might have caused some strap visibility. The model photo of this dress looks like it's black flowers on a white background, but it's actually grey/silver with some dots. I got complimented on this dress from the owner of one of my town's hottest boutiques!

Kentucky Derby Gala
The medium fit up top (stretchy fabric had no problem accommodating my bust), but hit at a funny place on my hips and totally made me look like a cupcake. I'm tall, and the fabric flared out in all the wrong ways. I had a large as my backup size, and the arm holes were way too big. Ended up wearing a dress out of my closet.

Awful. Just a weird cut that made every flaw I had stand out. Thankfully RTR sent me a backup!
This dress was just weird. Too tight in the bust and under the arms. It had a weird kind of tulip skirt (doesn't come across in the model pictures) that hit at a strange place on my waist -- lower than an A line but higher than a sheath. On top of all that, the dress was VERY short on me. I wouldn't have felt comfortable wearing it without tights (if it hadn't made my butt look gigantic!). Thankfully RTR overnighted me a different dress so my night was saved! This dress would probably be fine for someone who is shorter and doesn't have a curvy body type, but tall gals - beware!

RTR overnighted me this baby after my 1st choice didn't fit - this was SO much better! Loved it!
Runs a little big, kind of tricky zipper. This dress had a good opaque lining. Plenty of room in the bust but it wasn't too cleavage-y. Just overall a very flattering cut. I wore it with nude pumps, but if I had more of a tan, I probably would have worn black.

Wore this for a work holiday party I was hosting - everyone complimented me on the dress all night!
The gold lace overlay on the top was kind of scratchy under the arms, and I wasn't crazy about the little bow beneath the bust (didn't really notice it in the pictures online when I ordered the dress). The zipper was a little tricky to get up with the lace, too, but overall a very pretty occasion dress!
