Comfy and fun!
I really liked this piece but ended up not wearing it because it was just a smidge too tight in the chest. I liked everything about it - the stretchy, comfortable fabric, the waist tie, and it was overall very flattering!

Very cool dress! Just didn't work on my body.
I've got a long torso & am quite wide around my back -- this dress fit me, but was a little tight around the ribcage and felt short-waisted. It just wasn't comfortable so I went with another option - but it really is a beautiful dress with gorgeous movement - very twirly! :)

Beauuuuuutiful and flowy!
I loved this flirty, flowy dress! Fabulous fabric and print. Loved the length. Finding the right undergarments was tricky - this dress was tight in the chest on me, so I ended up wearing it with black spanx and no bra - kinda weird but it worked!

Not quite the right style for me!
Quality, color etc of this garment was great - it just wasn't the right style for me, and was a bit tight in the neck. I would not have been comfortable wearing this out! One definite pro is the length - I'm 5'9" and was expecting this to be more mini, but it was almost knee-length, which I appreciate! :)

Big & crazy!
I got these as my "Stylist Surprise" and didn't wear them. They are clip-on, which is not that comfortable, they didn't really go with the dress I rented, and they are massive & suck out from my head at an odd angle. They're very 80's, Dynasty, campy, over the top. Would be good for a costume!

Great for tall girls!
I rented this one as a backup and ended up not wearing it because the 12 was too big on me and made me look like a sack of potatoes. My 5'11" friend, however, tried it on and looked absolutely AMAZING! If you are a real glamazon, I'd say give this dress a try. I'm 5'9" and it just looked frumpy on me! Also be sure to check the user photos for the real color & look of the material of the dress.

Fab-u-lous
These are beautiful! They're a great, bright, shiny gold & they're nice and long - they look great with long or short hair. The only downside is that they are heavy, and I think I have a pretty high tolerance for heavy earrings! I ended up not wearing them because they competed with the cut-out detail on the dress I chose.

Cut dress, but sort of a weird fit!
I'm normally a size 10-12 but this dress in a 12 wouldn't even zip up past my waist! The waist & chest fit perfectly on my friend who's normally a size 8 - but the arms were huge on her. I really liked the color & the lace overlay, but just couldn't make it work w/ the fit.

Comfortable, elegant, flattering!
Got this dress as a replacement for one that became unavailable, and I absolutely LOVED it. The cutouts are sexy in an understated way, the fit was incredibly flattering, and the pockets were fabulous. You *may* have to wear a strapless bra, but I was able to just scootch my left bra strap over a bit for it not to show through the cutout. Perfect for my company's Holiday Party - conservative but still really chic, fun, and comfortable! Would love to own this one.

Great color - great fit - covered-up yet sexy!
I wore this dress for a Fashion Week party and just loved it. It was comfortable, cute, the color is really great for fall and I didn't have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions! Also the dress itself was in mint condition - no snags or issues at all. Would love to own this one!

A Bit Much...
This dress was a bit much for the semi-casual date I rented it for, with the bright color, the flutter sleeves, the big waist detail and the overlay etc etc, so it didn't work for me. Also the neckline was much higher on me than it looks on the model so it wasn't that flattering.

Cute & Summery
This was a cute little dress - the details are adorable & the color is great. I wore it out to dinner in Miami and ended up wearing the larger size for a looser fit in very humid weather, and for the extra length - I'm almost 5'10" so most mid-thigh dresses end up being mini on me!

Cute cute cute!
This dress is so dang cute, I can't even describe it. The cuteness factor is just off the charts. The color is stunning, the ruffles down the front are adorbs, the sleeves have just the right amount of understated poof, and the fit is body-skimming and flattering! It is definitely a mini, so just be aware of that if you're on the tall side, like me! I wore it with black tights and heels and just sorta hoped I wouldn't flash anyone, haha!

No two ways about it - this dress is an absolute KNOCK OUT! I'm normally a size 10 so not a stick figure, and this gown (sz 12) was flattering, slimming, gorgeous, and comfortable! The "long" length was a little long for me in flats but I didn't even care. I wore it to my rehearsal dinner (and later to a dive bar - ha!) with the Badgley Mischka "Tiered Deco" earrings and got TONS of complements. I can't wait to rent this dress again!!!

Really loved this dress - it was very sexy, sophisticated & flattering. The belt didn't work for me so I just substituted w/ a wider black belt of mine.
Member Fit Notes
This is a very pretty, sweet, comfortable dress. I just couldn't wear it out because it was too short for me (I like to wear Spanx & this was so short it showed the Spanx legs out the bottom - not a cute look!). Also the "Product Details" are incorrect - there's an exposed SIDE zip, not back zip.
Member Fit Notes
I rented these to go with my bridesmaid dress in a friend's wedding & didn't end up wearing them even though they are very cute! The gold is on the darker side, so they just didn't work for me.
Ditto what other ladies have said about the stabby boning - what is up with that? I think I got a 10 or 12 and when I tried the dress on, I got stabbed. Other than that it's lovely, well made, looks expensive - I just didn't like the neckline and ended up not wearing it.

Totally agree w/ others that this runs a bit big in the bust, but overall a super pretty, fun party dress. The draping in front is very flattering!

LOVE this dress - new fave for sure. I actually wore it without the belt & it was flowy, flattering, body-skimming, comfortable and just overall amazing. I rented the necklace it's shown with and got a TON of compliments. Wish I could keep this dress!

Great color, but "meh" shape
This dress looks expensive, the color is outstanding, but it just didn't look right on me. The draping added lumps and bumps, and the zipper with ruching up the back was just too bizarre. I have a 31" waist and the size 12 was uncomfortably tight. Had to send it back for a swap!

Rented this clutch for a friend's wedding and just loved it - there's a gold sparkle to it that is really dazzling in the sunlight. It went perfectly with my blush-colored bridesmaid dress. My only complaint is that it was less roomy than I was expecting - I could barely fit a small mirror, travel kleenex pack, and lipgloss in there!

This one was sorta "meh" for me - the skirt was fitted around my hips (not at all flowy like the pic w/ the model), which made the seams pucker slightly. The top half seemed big, and the draping was sort of weirdly lumpy. Maybe I'm just the wrong body type for the dress! I really wanted to like it, and the fabric is really pretty... but it just didn't work for me.

This dress is very cute - but short short SHORT as in super mini, barely covered my bum short! If you have killer legs and want to show them off, this is the dress for you! If you're a little self-conscious about your upper thighs, look elsewhere! Also although I will say the dress runs true to size, I have a 31" waist and the belt was uncomfortably tight even on the loosest setting.

Loved these earrings - wore them to my rehearsal dinner this summer and they were a big hit. While they are on the heavy side I didn't have any sort of problem with them falling out (but I also wasn't dancing or doing any sort of vigorous movement!).

Here's me wearing the Badgley Mischka "Falling Leaf" earrings on my wedding day!
These weren't my first choice but when there was a mix-up at RTR and the earrings I had rented to wear on my wedding day weren't available (!!!), I went with these. They were actually very lovely, not too heavy, photographed beautifully, and have a really nice sort of "vintage glam" feel to them.

Very thick fabric!
Normally I love Badgley Mischka but this dress didn't hit the mark for me - I liked the shoulder detailing but overall it felt too snug and the fabric was very thick and heavy, and it had a weird synthetic feel to it. Luckily it was just my backup dress and I didn't end up wearing it. Definitely not good for any sort of warm-weather event!

By far my favorite, favorite RTR dress I've rented so far. Absolutely va-va-voom gorgeous & glamorous. I rented it for a black-tie wedding in Brooklyn and felt like a star the whole night. The ruching hides lumps and bumps and accentuates an hourglass figure - it's also slightly adjustable for your height in that you can scrunch it up to make the dress shorter. I also loved the fish-tail train. GREAT dress!!!

This necklace is amaaaazing! I wore it to a wedding and got so many compliments on it, it was unreal. Then this morning I decided to wear it to work and a random woman at the coffee shop was like "that is a great necklace!" Would love to own this piece - I seriously do not want to send it back!!! ;)
