perfect for bridal brunch
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I usually wear a size 0 or 2, and for this dress, I went with the smaller size. I wore this dress the morning of my wedding to a bridal brunch. It was the perfect morning of the wedding dress, comfortable, casual, with a touch of textured elements to stand out. Overall, very happy with the fit and this dress. Would also be great for a casual summer party.

I wore this to a post-wedding brunch/ croquet tournament. Super cute!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I loved wearing this sweet, girly dress. It was perfect for the daytime event I was attending, and I got lots of compliments on it. That said, there are two things to keep in mind if you are considering renting this: it has an empire waistline- the skirt flairs out from right under your bust, not at the natural waist, so if that isn't usually your cup of tea, it might not work for you. Also, the skirt is pretty short. I'm 5'9" and the skirt hit mid-thigh- so maybe 8-10" below my butt in the back. I wore it to play in a croquet tournament, so I had to be very careful to remain ladylike while bending over, etc. No big deal- it wasn't obscene or anything, but if you're tall, it's not quite as demure as it looks in the picture.

The only thing I didn't like was how it puckered on the stomach area, so from certain angles it wasn't as flattering as I had hoped.

Great dress for a day party. I wore this to a family BBQ. My only complaint was that the dress was a little tight in the chest area.

Post wedding day brunch
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
TIBI dresses run true to size! For smaller chested (A) women I recommend size 2. Larger busted ladies (anything more than a A) may feel more comfortable with a size 4. I couldn't fill out the top in this particular style, so I wore the 2. Luckily, this dress is very generous in the hips and stomach area, perfect for a "pear" shape. Very nice material, no worry about see-through.

Poofy in the middle section
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Vacation
Loved the way the top fitted. Did not like the poofy middle. Made you look preggers. If you are pregnant = great dress for you. Fitted in the hips though. Loved the fabric and overlay. Didn't wear it unfortunately.

Clean, relatively conservative
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
Overall, this was a nice dress but not a WOW dress. It is appropriate for when you need to be a little more conservative. The fabric is heavy and the dress' fabric does not hug your body (although it did fit closer on my legs than the picture let on). I wore this for graduation, and it worked, but I was left desiring something a little different.

I was not a big of a fan of this dress as I was expecting. It definitely is not as A-line as the picture shows - much more straight - accentuating my hips more than I expected. The fabric is much heavier than the picture shows - I looked/felt like I was wearing a table cloth.

This dress runs very large in the stomach. I tried two different sizes and they both looked like they could have been a maternity dress. Unfortunately I had to return it without wearing it.

This dress is adorable! I got so many compliments. Be warned, if you are well endowed up top, then you'll have tons of cleavage in this dress.

This dress is adorable! I got it as my alternate but I loved it so much that I ended up wearing it. It fit really well and made my boobs look absolutely amazing! The only downside to this dress was that it was slightly stretched out in the stomach area, but I was able to fix it quickly with the adhesive tape that RTR sent with the dress. I paired it with some wedges and got more compliments than I ever would have expected. If you are going for instant hotness I definitely recommend this dress!

I rented this for my graduation and I loved it. Fit was perfect after fiddling with the zipper for a second or two. I rented an 8. I am a 36B, and ended up wearing a strapless bra, but could have gone either way. Let me say, if you have a large bust I would steer away from this dress--or order a size up. It's very revealing, so I'd take that into account depending on what occasion you are renting for. For those who are pear shaped, this dress is perfect. It slightly flares at the bottom and I had plenty of room. The pattern of the dress is extremely pretty and more intricate than the picture shows. Overall, I loved this dress.

This dress is so cute! I wish it had fit my body better. The 0 was still a little big in the waist (115lbs), and the v-neck was too low cut for the occasion on my 32D chest. Still, if I hadn't ordered a back-up dress I would have been happy to wear it!
