Very pretty dress. The color is gorgeous and true shimmery purple. The v neck and slit on the leg are nice touches, while still keeping it classy. I wore this to an industry black tie event. Very comfortable and a lot of stretch. Definitely runs big. I wore the medium, but needed the small. It has alot of stretch, so over the course of the night it stretched further and made the dress a bit baggy. Probably wouldn’t rent this dress again, but would do the brand again as it was very comfortable.

I wore this for our maternity photo shoot at around 28 weeks. It was perfect! So light and airy, but still flattering! Some maternity dresses can make you look bigger than you really are… but this dress was perfect. Hugged the top comfortably, kept the bottom more flowy, but still being able to see the bump (not draping like a tent). When not pregnant, I wear a size 8 or so. I went up some sizes for this… but I could have gotten a size 8 maternity (USA) and fit perfectly. Definitely forgiving. Gorgeous colors. Light pink base with brighter floral print (pink, red, greens). Would highly recommend!!

Really a pretty dress! I didn't end up wearing it to the event I was going to, as I went with my other dress. But, this dress was a close runner up. I am usually a size 8 and got a Large (I would usually be a Medium). It fit perfectly. I just didn't feel it was as flattering as the other dress I had selected. It kind of cut into me at my hips, making weird lines in the dress for me. And, the back keyhole surrounding fabric was a little loose/baggy. But, this dress is SO soft and really comfortable! And, the color is fabulous! Bright red! I would recommend. But go up a size from your usual.

Really a pretty dress and pattern. Just not super flattering. I am usually a Medium / Size 8. The size 8 fit... but it was not super comfortable. If you wear a bra with it, it makes it too tight. The back cut outs are really pretty, but if it's too tight - it's not flattering. I ended up getting last minute backup dresses since I was so uncomfortable in this dress and going with one of those. Not my worst RTR rental, but not my favorite either... but that's just my personal opinion.

The top was super cute, but definitely runs small. Too snug through the arms and more form fitting than expected. I am usually a size 6-8 and the medium was not very flattering at all. I should have gotten a large.

This dress is really pretty. It ran a little larger. It just wasn't the look I was going for for a work holiday event. I don't think the ruffle bottom is flattering for me / my body type. But, really a pretty dress. Would be super cute with black or sheer black tights for a holiday party / New Years.

This was an alternate to a top I had ordered. And, this dress was a lifesaver. There was only a Large left in stock, so I went with that and hoped it would fit... and it did! It was perfect for my work holiday party. The color is so pretty - a deep burgundy / red - and the fringe lines are so fun, adding some detail to the dress. The dress fits hourglass figures perfectly and makes your waist look teeny tiny. Loved the length and how it went down to my knee. I probably could have worn a Medium if it was in stock, but the Large was good, as once it is zipped up - it does sinch your waist in. Wear it with fun heels and you can dress it up even further with jewelry. Perfect for holiday parties, work events, weddings, or cocktail parties.

I rented this dress for a friend's wedding, while 33 weeks pregnant. Pre-pregnancy I was a size 4-6 and I have gained about 25 lbs + one cup size while pregnant. (FYI - The stats shown for my weight and chest are PRE-pregnancy.) I got the L and XL, to be safe. Thank goodness I did. The L would not close for me. The XL was perfect. I am pretty much all belly while pregnant. It was definitely more form fitting, but just enough stretch. The sequence does make it more difficult to zip up. The colors are so fun and I loved the neckline (very flattering). It hit right at the top of my calves, so a very classy length. Received tons of compliments on it all night. Definitely not the right dress for everyone while pregnant, but it worked for me (the only reason I gave it a 4/5 stars, as it wouldn't necessarily work for all Moms-to-Be). I would recommend it being OK for First and Second Trimesters, but Third Trimester might be pushing it. Definitely put it on your list of dresses to rent! Perfect for black tie optional, weddings, or parties!

I rented this for my Baby Shower at 32 weeks pregnant (I was a size 4-6 pre pregnancy and have gained about 24 lbs since being pregnant + about a cup size bigger than I was - the sizing shown for me is PRE-Pregnancy). It was perfect for the occasion! The dress fit perfectly. It's form fitting without being uncomfortable. Perfect amount of stretch. I loved the color (it's definitely a peachy orange'ish pink color). The white stripes are flattering and love the angled white stripes towards the bottom. Very flattering - even for being well into the third trimester! I ordered a Medium and Large. I ended up wearing the Medium and honestly could have probably fit into the Small too. But the Medium was perfect. It's not listed as "maternity," but perfect for any Momma-to-Be - lots of stretch, flattering, and long enough without riding up with the belly. Great for day time events!

I wore this dress to a day-time wedding. It was the perfect length and I loved that it had a higher neck and more open back. It was really comfortable for dancing and moving around. It photographs great and is a gorgeous shade of red. I love the flower eyelet details. SO pretty! Lots of compliments. It got a little uncomfortable when sitting for longer periods of time - as the piping for the under-skirt kind of stuck to you. The under-skirt part is a little on the shorter side too, so had to keep having to keep an eye on it from creeping up. I got a size 4 and 6. I ended up wearing the 4 as it was more form fitting through the top. The strings were a bit short on the 4, but I just tied it further up. No Spanx or shapewear needed. You could go bra-less or wear a sticky backless bra. Perfect dress for a wedding guest or a fancy date.

This dress was a lot of fun! I rented it for an Indian wedding celebration (a "Night of Color") and it was perfect for the celebration. The yellow mustard color was so fun and bright. It was pretty simple for the most part, so it can be paired with other bright colors for extra pops of color. I ordered the 4 and 6. Both fit, but it is not super forgiving around the waist and belly area... so I ended up wearing the 6 just to be comfortable. Spanx or some sort of shapewear would be highly recommended with this. Strapless bra or no bra would work. Perfect for a wedding, night out, or fun date night.

I rented this dress for my Bachelorette Party in Vegas and it could not have been more perfect. It fit like a glove. I loved the buttoned up, conservative front, with the open back. It was so comfortable, not itchy at all (since it's lined). I ordered a Small and Medium. BOTH fit, but ended up wearing the Medium to be a little more comfortable for the evening. It's the perfect length dress. Not too short and not too long. Very form fitting, yet flattering. Would highly recommend. I felt like a Bachelorette Princess in it and received tons of compliments all night!

This dress was truly a stunner at my fiancé's work black tie gala. Very different from all of the other dresses there. The dress fit like a glove! The high neck front and open back offer great contrast and makes the dress truly elegant. Both the small and medium fit, but I ended up doing the medium to be a bit more comfortable. I did do the long, so I could wear heels with it. Gorgeous dress and no need for a ton of jewelry, as the dress is a statement in and of itself. The only con is that it is really hard to photograph in, unless in a really well lit venue. It is breathtaking in person (got tons of compliments!), but doesn't photograph as pretty as it is in person. Love love and would wear again, if I could!

I unfortunately did not get to wear this dress to my event. This is a really pretty dress... but it is definitely not for those with any sort of hips or a thicker rib cage. I am typically a size Small/Medium or 4/6. The dress would not zip all the way up. The band across the middle makes it very difficult to zip up. Also, the buttons will not be able to button up if you can't zip it up... so, unfortunately this dress did not work for me. But, a very pretty dress. Not a lot of give around the waist, but the bottom was flowy and really pretty.

I rented this dress for our Engagement Shoot. I wanted something that was a classic look, simple, yet popped in pictures. This was the perfect dress for that! The navy color looked great in contrast to the background. And, with such a simple elegant look, it was easy to dress up with accent jewelry. I had read that the dress ran large, so I ordered a 4 and 2. I ended up wearing the 4. The 4 fit in all the right places and gave me the look I was going for. I would aim to order one in your usual size and then order the second in one size down. The sleeves weren't constricting at all. And the long length in the back gives just a little pop of drama to the simple look. This dress is perfect for Date Night, Photo Shoots, and Weddings. Would rent again! And, as always, RentTheRunway doesn't disappoint!

Love love LOVED wearing this dress! I wore it to a summer wedding. I felt like a princess. This hot pink top and neon red bottom dress is so fun for a summer wedding. The colors were bright, fun, and definitely stood out in the crowd. The cut of the top is so flattering in pictures and the open back is a fun surprise on the dress. Received lots of compliments, photographed well, and would definitely rent again! I ordered the 4R and 6R. Both fit, but ended up wearing the 4 because it was a little more form fitting through the top. Also, the 4 had a brighter pink on the top. The 6 looked a little faded on the top (more magenta than hot pink). I wore about 4 inch heels and the dress still hid the heels, which was great (I am about 5'6). And, if you are smaller on top, no need for a bra! It is form fitting enough that it is like a built in sports bra. Perfect for a wedding or special dressy occasion. Perfect for dancing and comfortable to sit down in.

I wore this gown to my boyfriend's work event. Really a pretty and flattering dress. The amethyst jewel tone is gorgeous. In photographs, it can read a little darker plum... but in the light, it is definitely amethyst purple. Definitely not a "stand out" in a crowd of people, but a very classic and understated elegance. The shoulder detail really does make the entire dress, no need for a ton of jewelry. It definitely gives you an hourglass shape, as there is a seam that wraps around the dress right at your ribs. I actually ended up wearing shapewear under the dress, just to smooth everything out and make the dress a little more comfortable - especially with that seam. I rented the 4R and 6R. I ended up wearing the 4R - true to size. I am about 5'6 and wore just kitten heels with the dress, and the dress skimmed the floor. So, the Regular was actually the perfect length. Really a great dress for a work gala, prom, black tie event or wedding. As always, RentTheRunway and Badgley Mischka don't disappoint!

I rented this dress for my 30th Birthday Celebration. It was the perfect choice! It has just the right amount of sparkle for you to shine on a special day / night. I ordered the 4 and 6. I ended up wearing the 4, because I was swimming in the 6. It is pretty much true to size. It does have the sheath fit, not form fitting... which was perfect because it has a really classy look! I received a lot of compliments! I am 5'6 and it hit mid thigh. Perfect for a milestone birthday, Vegas, or a special dinner.

Really a great dress. The dress fits pretty true to size. I ordered the 4L and 6L, but ended up wearing the 4L since it was a little bit more form fitting through the middle and rear. I went with the long since I knew I wanted to wear heels with it. If you wear heels, I feel like it just lays and flows better throughout the dress. Without the heels it was just laying on the floor. If you do the Regular sizes, definitely wear flats or a low heel. It does have a little bit of stretch and give to it, which is nice. I wore this gown to my boyfriend's work event - a black-tie award gala. I felt like a princess in the gown. I got tons of compliments all night and someone even joked to my boyfriend "oh, I thought that was Jessica Chastain you had brought as your date." It really does make you look like a movie star and shine in a room full of people. In photographs, especially at night, it does tend to read more "silver" and "gold" than rose gold. But, it is definitely a blush rose gold sequin dress in person. I would wear nude, peach, or rose gold shoes and rose gold or diamond jewelry. Note: It is a bit itchy/scratchy against parts of your skin with the sequins. If you have sensitive skin, like myself, just be aware. I know I turn red and blotchy from any scratches or irritation, so I was a bit worried with all the sequins. It was a little scratchy towards the end of the evening, but my skin never turned red or irritated.

This dress fit perfectly and true to size. Both the 4 and the 2 fit, but ended up wearing the 4 for the night. The 2 did fit but was just more form fitting. Wanted to be comfortable and be able to dance at the wedding. The dress is gorgeous! Really intricate sequins makes this dress shine. The open back is really pretty and compliments the conservative front. Love the sheer shoulders and side panels. I am 5'6 and wore heels with it. It hits right above the knee... Perfect for a formal event. The bottom of the dress does not have a lot of give to it, so it is hard to bend down and pick things up or even put your shoes on once in it. I did wear a backless bra with it. Got compliments all night long (from ladies and gentlemen). Really a classy dress and perfect for a black tie optional, wedding, party, New Years, etc.
