Dress up or down! Also, it's navy.
I am glad I read reviews telling me this was navy, not black! I only wore this with a white shirt and then again with navy tank top (pictured). Can dress up or down, is super cute, but note material is kind of on the thinner side so watch out if you're trying to tuck in anything bulky, like a sweater.

Run large, but are well made and tailored!
I really liked these although the my ran big! Super flattering, dressed them up and dressed them down. Great quality fabric so you can tell this is a well-made item.

Pleasantly surprised!
These had perfect amount of stretch and loved the faux pockets. I had to roll the hems under because I am a shorty (5'4") but I loved them and wore them 3 times! Would totally rent again or consider another pair of these stretchy work pants from Sanctuary

Super cropped- hits at bottom of sports bra
This too is SUPER cropped. It ended right at the bottom of my sports bra and left such a large gap between the top and my leggings that it just looked awkward and unflattering. I have a long torso, so that could be part of the problem, but overall I would not recommend this top.

Too tight/small for big booties
I'm a S top and M bottom, but I am 5'4" and this presents its own set of challenges. These pants fit awkwardly and weirdly and I returned without wearing. They were cute though and if you have slimmer legs these could be an upgrade to a more casual pant!

Amazing! Love Ulla Johnson!
Fit super well, got compliments as it was not only flattering but just also a cute everyday top! Wore it for some video calls at home, too. Decided to wear a camisole underneath because I didn't tuck it in, so it felt like if the slightest breeze came through when outside, it blew right up! Super adorable, and considering renting more Ulla tops, because this one was a hit! 10/10 would recommend!

Love this!! Great fabric and fit!
I loved this top. Silk blend and bright colors really makes it look and feel like an expensive, quality blouse. Paired it with navy slacks for work, and also with high waisted jeans for a more casual look. I loved the shoulders and the sleeves on this blouse!! Wish I owned it!!

Fun easy top!
Pros: - elegant without trying too hard - fits well around armhole (not too tight or saggy) - didn't wrinkle - good length - can pair with a multitude of different bottoms Cons: - boxy- would have been nice if it was a bit more fitted, but I still like it a lot!

I loved this dress!! Pros: - flowy, hides lots of sins aka brunch belly! - can be dressed down with white sneakers or sandals - can be dressed up with nude heels - great length Cons: - might be mini dress if you are 5'8" or taller Debating renting again or buying! I didn't wanna send this back!

Just ok. Loose in waist, and not lined
It was a very pretty pattern, but I had to wear spanx and a slip underneath it. It also was loose around the waist for me- I have a smaller waist and larger hips, so it kind of just fell at a weird point in between my waistline and hips. I also was surprised it wasn't lined at all, seeing the retail price point. Overall, was just OK.

A little long but got so many compliments!!
The only cons of this dress were that there was no 2P available, and that because I am flat-chested, you can see in the photo that there's a small gap between the dress and my body where the cut-out is. It's not a huge issue bc the dress itself is spectacular and the color blocking is so fun!! I had to wear my highest heels (I'm 5'4") to keep it from dragging on the floor, so the 2P would have been great if available. I also ordered the 0R which I almost wore, but it was tight in my rib cage.

Great find but no magnet or clasp
I really liked this because you can use it as a clutch or with the chain, but the only downside is that there is no metal clasp, so the flap doesn't secure against the bag. It wasn't a huge issue if you have your phone and a hotel room key, but I had my house keys in there so it was a little annoying that it wouldn't lay flush to the bag. I really liked the overall look and it was a great find at the price so I gave 5 stars and would recommend for an event where you won't be bringing much.

Easy statement bracelet
This was a fun addition to my look- the only other jewelry I had on besides this bracelet was a pair of earrings. This bracelet was a nice accessory since my dress was already so bold in color, but I felt it really tied my look together by having something sparkly every time I had a glass in my hand or was waving to someone at the party! Certainly a fun piece.

Perfect amount of bling!
These were great earrings for the gala I attended. They were long enough and sparkly enough to add some bling and shine to my look without being overpowering or cheap-looking. They were fairly lightweight and I loved the way they looked. Great for the price-point. Would highly recommend!!

Beautiful dress but kind of long for 5'4" and shorter
This dress was so pretty and had a gorgeous pop of color for a summer wedding. I loved wearing it and it fit like a glove...plus I got tons of compliments on it!! The only downside was that it was definitely a couple of inches longer than I would have liked it to be, because I'm only 5'4" it's really hard for me to rent dresses that are longer than cocktail length. This one worked ok though, just note it will be a bit long. It also was a little difficult when going to the ladies room- hard to pull back down the lace over the slip part...but maybe that's just me. I would recommend it and I felt gorgeous in it, just a couple of things to consider if you're on the short side like me!

Would use this anywhere!
This clutch was perfect for a wedding- it held everything and even had little cardholder pockets built right into it, so I didn't have to worry about taking a bulky wallet. It can easily be dressed up or dressed down, and the zipper edge adds a funky and playful edge to this clutch. I will definitely rent again, even if it's just for a girls night out!

Perfect for a black tie optional wedding!
I wore this for a black tie optional wedding, and I got so many compliments! I was torn between the size 0 and size 2, but ultimately wore the size 0 because it fit a little bit better across my chest (I wore the petals since this dress is backless, and I had no issues). The zipper on both dresses seemed to be a little worn, but other than that, no complaints. It is a pretty poppy color and fit like a glove. And who doesn't love pockets?! Would rent this style again, and would recommend!

Such a fun wedding in Charleston, SC!
The ring was so nice! I wish it was a little smaller/fit a little more snugly so that I could wear it on my ring finger, but it was just enough glam without being over the top. I would definitely rent this piece again!

Friend's wedding in ATL!
This dress was pretty, but it felt as if the Size 2 was too small around the ribcage/upper stomach area, so I wore the backup Size 4 dress. Unfortunately, after looking at photos from the wedding, it looks as if I am swimming in fabric, or that I borrowed the dress from someone bigger than me! I would recommend ordering the size you normally wear, and then getting a backup size, one size smaller than you normally wear. I should have worn the Size 2 even though it was a bit snug around the waist/ribcage area. Also, if you are expecting but aren't very far along (i.e. first trimester or so), you could definitely get away with this dress because of the high waistline.

Godson's baptism!
This dress fit really well and was very flattering through the bodice. It hit right above the knee, and the dress was sort of tiered, which I didn't see at first in the RTR photos. I think the flutter sleeves gives it a soft look, and the V-neck was a very flattering and feminine neckline for this dress. Would recommend!

Wore this for my birthday!
I really liked this blouse! The only weird thing about it is that there was a tie around the neck that just wouldn't quite sit the right way. My friend helped me to tie it and it looked fine, but it is just something I struggled with when putting on the blouse. Cute cut and fun color!

Humongous
These earrings are super pretty but honestly huge. My boyfriend said they looked like cannabis leaves and told me I couldn't wear them to dinner (I'm 5'4" and have kind of small ears to begin with and these would have just looked comical on me). Sent them back in the box w/o even wearing them out of the hotel room! Sad.

Wore this dress to the Met Opera in NYC!
I really loved this dress! It was a flattering cut and while it was a liiittle long (I am only 5'4", so it is difficult to rent gowns), it wasn't dragging on the floor or anything...just had to wear higher heels :) I do remember it being a bit tight across the chest/shoulders, but had I gotten a bigger size, I would be afraid of the dress being too big in the rest of the bodice.

Gorgeous on model, terrible fit in real life
I was so looking forward to wearing this dress to my friend's wedding because of all the gorgeous pictures on RTR I had seen! I am 5'4" 125-130 lb and usually a size 2 in dresses. I ordered two sizes of this dress (2 and 4) and both were so snug and were awkwardly long, I felt like they were defective! Plus the fabric was clinging so tightly to me you could see every little detail through the dress. I ended up having to pull something out of my closet last-minute. Pretty on model but not for me.

College roommate's wedding in the Georgia Mountains!
I loved this dress! Silk slip dresses look so great, as they fall in a very flattering manner, showcasing you in all the right places! I am 5' 4" and it fell to just above my ankle (maybe 2 inches above the ankle), but it didn't look too big or oversized. I would definitely recommend this dress, and definitely consider renting it again, or in a different color!

Worn as a guest to a black tie wedding!
This dress runs very, very long. I ordered a 0P and 2P, and they were both so long that the front of the dress was already touching my toes when I put it on. I had to use safety pins to "hem" the dress for the event and keep it off the floor, and I also had to use fashion tape to keep the top up (I am an A cup). I liked the quality of the dress, but given that even the smallest size offered was too long, I would be very wary of renting any other floor length gown/dress by Badgley Mischka.

Fits Like a Glove!
Oh my goodness. If I had $1000 to spend on one dress, it would be this one. It fit so perfectly and the blue piping accentuated my figure so well. I felt like a celebrity on the red carpet! It was the perfect length, too, which I was worried about since I'm on the petite side. It has just enough stretch, too, so you don't feel like you're being suffocated by some stifling Versace dress.

Need Fashion Tape
I loved the color and the detail of the neckline (saved me a trip to the jewelry store since I didn't need a necklace!), but it is IMPERATIVE to wear fashion tape unless you're a full C or larger. I'm an A and have broad shoulders, and I wore the most padded strapless bra I had, but I absolutely needed to wear fashion tape with the dress. Luckily, the ladies @ RTR sent me a few strips as part of a free sample, so I didn't have any wardrobe malfunctions! It was a bit tight in the rear for me, but I have big hips and a behind...I think this dress has potential to be more flattering on a taller woman, or if you're fairly slim with a large bust/torso.

I absolutely loved this dress-- everyone told me how chic and unique my dress was!
I absolutely loved this dress...I wish I owned it! I rented it in two different sizes: XS and S. The XS was too tight around my hips/behind, and the shoulders were a bit snug. I'm normally a size small, but I chose to rent a smaller size just in case because the dress appeared to be a bit more flowy. NOTE: the green sash does not lay flat against the dress as shown in the picture...its is more like a belt.

Flattering Dress for Hourglass
Ran true to size, for me at least...I read reviews saying that it was too small in the bust for most women, so I ordered XS and S. The XS was wayyy too small, but the S fit perfectly. I especially loved the sweetheart neckline of the dress...along with the delicate design on the bust of the dress, and contrasted with the edgy feel of the hooks up the front, this dress is the perfect balance between classic and edgy. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wore it with pantyhose and it was a bit static-y; I think that had to do with the fabric of the dress.

This was my first rental, and I had my eye on this dress since I first became a member of the site. While I decided to rent a second dress for the weekend instead of a fun statement necklace to pair with this dress, I still had a blast and looked good while doing so!
I rented this ring to go along with the cute BCBG Carbon Color Chaos Dress for my sorority's winter semiformal. The ring was a fun, different accessory but was definitely larger than I had expected! To give a point of reference, it was larger than a golden dollar, probably around the size of one of those mini York peppermint patties. You can see it on my hand at the bottom of the picture.
