Rented these so many times I bought them
I've rented these 3 times. I figured I liked them so much I'd just buy them. They're very flattering

Amazing dress for a work conference gala
This is the third time I've rented this dress for work conference gala. It's very chic and simple while still being comfortable. I may buy this the next time in rent it

Nice dress, wrinkles easily
I liked the overall feel of this dress. Because I have larger boobs, shirt dresses tend to be a no-go, but the open back on this one made the fit look perfect. A little fashion tape was needed to eliminate some pucker between two of the buttons, but that's a necessity with most tops for me. This dress wrinkles VERY easily, so if you're going for a prim and polished look, you'll either have to avoid sitting or carry a garment steamer in your pocket for hourly touch ups.
Rust Pink Shirtdress

VERY low cut
I didn't end up wearing this because it was much shorter and VERY low cut. I rented it for work and it was definitely not work appropriate on my body. It fit well, just not for the environment. I was a little surprised that it was made out of an almost sweater-like material. As with all things DVF, the dress was beautifully made and would likely be more appropriate on someone with curves that are a little less "sloping" mine.

Great dress, runs large
Didn't end up wearing this because it was too big. Sent it back and will likely exchange for a medium. Nice fabric. Was a little shinier than I expected

Nice bag
This was a nice bag. It came new and with tags, which was a nice touch. The shape was a little odd, and the leather didn't seem to be all that high quality (though you'd really only notice if you got up close).

Amazing coat
I loved every single thing about this coat. A word of warning - it is VERY warm. The collar acts as a scarf and a hood, so it's great for those freezing cold days (especially in New York City). Will definitely rent again
Sloan Coat
Badgley Mischka
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Nice fabric, didn't fit
The pants are gorgeous fabric and very clearly well made (which one expects from DVF). Unfortunately, the fit wasn't a good cut for my body shape/type.

Great dress!
Loved this dress. I rented it for the Barron's Top Women Advisors conference in West Palm Beach. It was classy, comfortable, and elegant. It was perfect for the event and I recommend it highly.

Great dress - very versatile - watch the slit
I rented this dress for the Forbes Top Advisor Summit in Las Vegas. This dress was great! It's VERY flattering (especially for an hourglass figure), and incredibly comfortable. The high neckline is classy and conservative, but the slit adds an allure that easily transitions from a vendor sponsored cocktail party to a nice dinner to dancing at XS. I opted to tuck the back section in because it was a bit more polished and gave a better silhouette in my opinion. That said, it looks great either way. I'm between sizes (8-12 depending on the designer), and I've read some reviews saying it's tight in the mid-section so I ordered a size up just to be safe. The 8 fit PERFECTLY. I got a ton of compliments all night. Be warned, the slit goes all the way up to your waist, so be careful. I had to awkwardly grip at the dress at certain times because our cocktail party was outdoors and had a few close calls with gusts of wind. I didn't wear shorts and probably wouldn't in future, but just be advised that if you're into going commando, this probably isn't the dress for you. All in all, it was a great rental and I'll definitely be renting this again in the future.

Comfortable, classy, fun
This was a nice dress. If I could find one new, I'd definitely buy it. I ordered the large, but decided to wear the medium because the top was SUPER blousy and made me look like my boobs were hanging around my belly button. The medium fit perfectly through the body, but the arms were a little snug when I first put it on. My only complaint is something you'll probably find in other reviews: it's quite clear this dress has been dry cleaned within an inch of it's life. The fabric itself is in great condition, but the gold dots were VERY faint on the main body, but very vibrant on the sash. I didn't mind too much, but just know that what you'll get in your bag isn't necessarily what you see in the photo. I think this dress would fit almost any body type well. It's incredibly flattering in all the right places. Overall, it was money well spent.
