Beautiful color in person.

This dress was awesome. I ordered it as a backup look and didn't really think it looked cute in the RTR picture. I ended up wearing this dress instead! The color is a bit more vibrant in person and the fit is heaven! It hides any imperfections you may have around the middle without looking like it. I have a C cup and I felt like the neck line was that perfect blend of sexy but still classy. I could have gone with a Medium, but the large was a great length for heels. This dress is super versatile as well. Dress it up or down!

This dress has a great fit! It was very comfortable and flattering, with stretchy fabric. I wore a strapless bra with this. It would be great for a formal summer wedding with heels or dressed down as a maxi with cute sandals!

didnt end up wearing this one.
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
rented this dress b/c it is "bump friendly" and I am 19 weeks pregnant. I am 5'7 and normally a size 4. II didnt end up wearing this dress because the top was too small. I am a 34C. the cup was a bit small and the straps are not adjustable, so the top just didnt work. The REGULAR length dress was also a bit short with the bump and couldn't be adjusted due to straps.

Easy casual beach dress
Size worn: SR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Vacation
Nice dress for beach resort dinners. Fabric is perfect for the beach since the sand just rolls off. Runs very short though. The shoulder straps were super short and not adjustable. The dress is short too.

Pretty color and insanely comfortable.

Perfect dress for my 4-week post-baby body at a small Friday night wedding. The color is great and I always appreciate the little tabs in the straps to keep bra straps in place. The dress is incredibly comfortable!

Fabulous color!

The fit was perfect, although I would've like it to be a bit longer. I'm 5'10" and this dress skimmed the top of my feet in perfectly flat sandals. But it still worked - wore it to a sunset wine + dinner event hosted by hubby's clients. Didn't need a bra - the cut of this dress covers and supports perfectly! Would definitely consider renting again!

this dress is as beautiful as it is insanely comfortable!
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
the fabric is more of a knit so made it less formal than i was expecting but also made it so comfortable, it felt like a nightgown while still looking glamorous. i would not suggest the R size if you are any taller than 5'5" and want to wear heels, i'm 5'8" and had to wear flats.

Fits a little large. Could have worn a small, I usually wear a size 6. I got tons of complements. The dress was amazing. Very happy with my choice.

Gorgeous & flattering
Size worn: LR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
I LOVED this dress! I should start by saying I am 5'9, athletic (swimmer build) and 6 months pregnant when I rented this dress. It made me feel and look so beautiful. The Large size fit my 38D chest perfectly (no need for a bra, it actually did the bra work for me in a nice flattering way) and the length hit the tops of my feet even with the baby bump (shoes showed). It falls to the shape of your body, and the color and fabric make it elegant and extremely comfortable. It made me go from feeling like a big pregnant lady, to a sleek and elegant woman out on a date with her husband! He loved it, couldn't stop telling me "you don't even look pregnant!" The deep blues are rich and beautiful. I wanted to keep it, fantastic dress!
