I wore this to a formal fundraising gala, when my original dress didn't fit. It wasn't my typical style, but I liked the dress and I'm glad I had the chance to wear it!

This is a cute dress, but wasn't dressy enough for the occasion. It's very comfortable and flowy. The top, in particular, fits like a casual tank top. I would wear this in the summer, and very well may rent it again when the time is right!

This dress was comfortable and I felt great in it. It's a complete wrap dress, and I was a little nervous about that ahead of time. It ended up not being an issue at all. The XL was probably a bit large on me, but the L didn't have quite enough fabric to wrap around me comfortably, and was very low cut as a result. I wore this to an annual chamber of commerce formal dinner, and this dress was perfect for the occasion.

This dress was only available in sizes 12 and 16, and I usually wear a 14. I decided to go for it, hoping that one of them would end up fitting. Unfortunately, a 14 would have been perfect! I loved the dress though, and I hope I'm able to rent the 14 for an event soon!!

I always seem to be on the cusp between sizes 12 and 14. This year I was particularly nervous because I didn't lose the weight that I wanted to lose before the party. I was also very nervous about wearing a white dress. I was pleasantly surprised to fit comfortably in the 12R ( it was long, but that's the story of my life), and I love the dress! I received many compliments and felt fantastic in it. I would definitely rent this dress again!

I wore this shirt to work with black pants (unfortunately forgot to take a pic). It was a bit too large on me - I probably could have worn the L. It is flowy (although a bit staticky in this super dry weather), and the ruffle adds something different to an otherwise plain shirt. The color wasn't very flattering against my skin tone (pale with some red to it). If it came in another color (and I got a L), I would likely love this shirt.

I've been calling this a designer sweatshirt. It is incredibly comfortable, and the details on the sleeves add a little extra "something" to it. It also has sparkle to it, which I didn't realize when ordering. It's warm and forgiving of those imperfections we all agonize over. Great with jeans. I'm wearing this again before returning it!!

This dress is very pretty on, and feels nice. It is heavy weight, so I would not recommend it for summertime weather. The top is a sweater-like material, so this would work well for spring or fall. I was unfortunately not able to wear it, because it was too small around the waist/midsection (where the black band is). It doesn't have any give. Additionally, the top of the dress was actually too big, and bulged in the back. I tend to be between sizes 12 and 14 in RTR dresses. Length was good, even for a shorty like me. I'm sad to send this one back without wearing, I wish it had worked with my body type!

This shirt was not flattering at all on me. The fabric feel very nice, but I was distracted by the incredibly long sleeves. I would have had to get creative with them to make them work. But the kicker for me was looking in the mirror - I looked like I had forgotten to change out of my pajamas! Sending this shirt back without wearing. :(

I wore this dress for a black tie gala/awards presentation during which I was a presenter. I felt elegant AND comfortable in this dress. I tend to wear size 14 on many RTR dresses, but I wore the 12P this time! The zipper was a pain, but that's the only complaint I had about this dress. I loved the green detail and the little bit of sparkle in the lace. I would definitely order this again!

I purchased this dress through a RTR clearance sale, and I love it! I have worn it for a wedding and a black tie event. It was a little better suited for the wedding, but it worked for the gala as well. I even wore it to work one day, just because I could! It is VERY comfortable, easy to zip. It does run a little big, and as I've lost a few pounds it is now getting quite loose on me, so I may have to retire it soon. :( Very classy style too. Highly recommend!

I ordered a different dress for a fundraising gala, but RTR replaced it with this dress. It is beautiful, but I was unfortunately unable to wear it. I am usually on the bubble between size 12 and size 14, but I think I could have gone down to a 10 in this dress. The 12 was comfortable when I tried it on, but I discovered while getting ready for the event (and wearing it for longer than 5 min) that it kept drooping - no matter what I did, I just didn't fill it out enough in the chest area. :( I was really bummed, but ended up changing into a dress that I had in my closet instead. If you order this dress, I would recommend sizing down, and I would NOT recommend it if you are not well-endowed!

I wore this dress for my company's holiday party (80s theme). This dress was perfect! It was comfortable, and fit the feel of the event without being too over=the-top 80s. I liked that it was a bit "different" - asymmetrical lace is not something i would normally pick, but I really liked it! I definitely recommend this dress.

These were sent to me as part of a promotional "surprise" rental, and I was very disappointed to find that they sent me clip-on earrings! To make matters worse, they were so huge and heavy that they wouldn't stay on my ears, even if I had wanted to wear them.

I wore this dress in blue for my company's 2015 holiday party. When I saw that it came in green as well, I knew it was meant to be for this event. I wore it for an awards ceremony/black tie ball at my alma mater. Our school colors are green and gold, so there really wasn't a more perfect dress for the occasion! I like this dress because it is comfortable and flattering. It comes in a variety of bold colors (I know of at least red, blue, and green). I am petite, so Badgley Mischka is my savior because they have petite full-length dresses! I can't wear high heels either, so a petite length is a must. The shoes I wore with this dress were 1-inch heels and the length was pretty perfect. Later in the night I switched into more comfortable flats, and I was still okay - the dress just skimmed the floor. The zipper on this dress are all a bit tough (on each one I've worn/tried), whether the dress is loose or tight - it just catches a bit in the middle of the back, which makes it nearly impossible to zipper on your own. But that's really my only complaint about this stunning dress!

I wore this dress to a formal fundraising gala, and it was perfect! The length was great for my 5'3" frame. Pros: very comfortable, just the right amount of "sparkle", easy to zip, pockets!! Cons: while it is easy to wear and fit into, it is not the most flattering dress I have worn. It may require some bra creativity - I wore a shaper and didn't fasten the bra strap across my back. It worked perfectly. The skirt was a little wrinkly and more poofy than I expected. Both the size 12 and 14 fit me, but I ended up choosing the 14 because it was a little more comfortable and slightly more flattering. It was more flattering because the smaller size seemed to accentuate the "poofy-ness" of the skirt, and I wasn't a fan of that. This was another great RTR experience. I would absolutely wear this dress again!

This dress fit as expected. I think it was a little too big, especially after seeing that there was excess fabric in the torso area, but I think the next size down would have been uncomfortably tight. Regardless, I really liked this dress. The detail in the white fabric is beautiful. It is pretty heavy, so I would not recommend it for an outdoor event in the middle of summer. I bought a bright pink necklace and earrings from Kohl's that I thought paired beautifully with the dress. The rental experience with RTR was fantastic, and I can't wait for my next rental!

I wore this dress to an event at the horse track. I loved the dress - I fit in a size 12 very comfortably. I "could" have fit into the 10, but it would have been very tight in the torso/chest, so I went with the larger size for comfort. It is a bit shorter than I expected - I am 5'3", and it was above my knees, so be aware of that if you are tall. The colors are very bright and cheerful, and I received a number of compliments on it. I unfortunately neglected to get a full body photo, but I wore white sandals with it, and I also rented a pair of earrings to go with it (crystal) which I think really completed the outfit. The hat was an Amazon purchase, and matched quite well. To make a long story short, I was very happy with my first Rent the Runway rental, and I can't wait for my next one!

These earrings were truly beautiful. They sparkled like crazy. The design of them is very classy, and they could be used for a wide range of events. I actually wore them to work the day before my event because I liked them so much! The event that I actually reserved them for was a day at a horse race track. They finished off the look quite well.
