Super comfy and vibrant!
Wore this dress to a wedding on the Washington State peninsula and it was perfect! The material is light and airy (but did benefit from a good steam prior to wear) and the pattern was super fun, with lots of shells and small fish making up the pattern. This dress is much more vibrant than shown in the profile photo but I loved it! The dress has elastic around the waist and straps to keep the sleeves off your shoulders so there’s no need to fiddle with the dress all night. I received lots of compliments on this dress.

I received so many compliments on this dress and it's one of my favorites I've rented from RTR.
The dress was a bit small in the top and I didn't have to wear any undergarments with it, which was a total blessing. I'd advise someone who is 5'5 like myself or shorter to go with the petite size, since it was quite long for me and I had to be careful not to step on it. The fit was wonderful and it looks so great in photos. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this and can't wait to rent it again!

Love Badgley Mishka!
You really can't go wrong with a Badgley Mishka. I rented this outfit for New Years Eve and got so many compliments! It's stylish and just fancy enough for a nice restaurant, but not too over the top. If I were to rent again, I would personally grab one size up for a little more wiggle room. The only complaint that I have is with the boning in the top - it was starting to poke out and kept pinching my arm all night. I saw that the opposite side was already stitched so I think this is just a design flaw rather than an issue with RTR. Otherwise, a great choice!

Perfect size
I rented this clutch with the Badgley Mishka Award Winner gown for a wedding and it was perfect! Fit an iPhone 6s, lipstick, credit cards, and a powder compact no problem. It comes with a detachable chain but I removed that prior to my event. I loved this rental!

Absolute perfection!
I loved this dress so much, and felt glamorous all night long! I attended a formal 20s themed wedding. If you want compliments all the time, then this dress is for you! I didn't want to take it off or return it. This dress runs true to size, but does show a lot since it is form fitted! The size larger for me was too loose in the arms, so I went with my normal size (and it fit perfectly).

Loved the dress, not the stains!
I was unfortunately unable to wear this dress due to stains all over it from a previous renter. I was so disappointed, since this was going to be my birthday dress! I contacted RTR and had the pleasure of talking with Veronica, who helped me with a refund. As for the dress: I will definitely rent again in the future! The material is such a gorgeous sea foam color and the material is thick. There seriously is no stretch, keep that in mind! Also, I would suggest ordering one size up if you're above a C-cup, as the top was quite tight for me (I'm a D-cup). I will rent in the future, just one size up.
