Perfect for a Christmas wedding
My sister got married two days before Christmas and the color of this dress was perfect for the occasion. I left the top unbuttoned. I'm 5'9 155 and the 4 was perfect. The sleeves were slightly short, but not awkwardly so, just enough to show off a great bracelet. As other reviews have stated, the shoulders are kind of itchy due to the stiff material they have in them for structure, but it's not annoying enough to ruin your night. A couple cocktails and you won't even notice

Perfect!
This necklace paired perfectly with the Badgely Mischka dress I rented! It was so easy to wear and looked effortless but with just enough glitz. I'd wear this all the time if I owned it

Just ok
This dress reminded me of the one Rachel wears in the friends episode where they go to Barbados. I love that dress, so I rented this one. I am 5'9 and this dress just didn't fit quite right. It would be better for someone more petite. I wore it anyway, but it wasn't my favorite. Note: the straps are not adjustable, and the chest area is on the smaller side.

Tight lining
I was excited about this dress, unfortunately I didn't end up wearing it because the lining inside was SO TIGHT and the "long" didn't account for taller girls having a longer torso. The extra room for the butt/hips was up by my waist. The lining had also ripped at one point and was fixed with red electrical tape, which showed when the dress was on. Not impressed with this one. Luckily, I was able to get a backup dress that fit great!

A classic!
When my first rental didn't fit, this one was still available, so RTR was able to overnight it, which was awesome. The dress worked great for me. I'm 5'9 and wore 3" heels. It could have been a little longer in the torso. The "long" added extra length, but didn't really account for height elsewhere. The material is snug, but very forgiving, (I had a baby 6 months ago, it hid the pooch). The style is an easy, elegant classic!

Perfect for a spring wedding!
This dress ROCKED. I'm 5'9 and wore it with 3.5" heels and the length was great on the 6L. The green color was perfect for a spring wedding. I dressed it down with a striped linen clutch for the 2pm ceremony, and then added a glitzy necklace for the nighttime reception. Bonus: racerback bra!

Inaguaral Ball
I wore this to the Vermont governor's inaugural gala. The lighting made it look amazing! The fit was great. It could have been 1/2" longer, (5'9 with 3 inch heels), but at least I didn't have to pick it up at all. I plan on renting this again for the military ball. #sameoutfitdifferentpeople
