I rented this for my husband's graduation, he deemed it "too dressy" but I LOVED it. The color is so much prettier in person than in the pictures. The flow of the skirt is fun and flattering. It even has snaps to hold your bra straps in place! I wore the dress to church because I just had to wear it, even if it wasn't to an event. I added the belt, thinking it looked a little more polished. I wish it could keep this dress! I will definitely rent again. 

The 14W wasn't available when I ordered, and I might have worn that if it had been - the 16W was roomy at the top and had plenty of room through the hips (usually my tightest point on a dress). Loved wearing it, got tons of compliments, fit well with regular underwear/bra - if I could have kept this one, I would have!

Overall I liked the dress. I rented it for a baby shower. It fit well. The waist line is in a bit of a weird spot and is not very slimming in my opinion. Was more of salmon and sage green in color. Still pretty, but not quite as bright as it looks in pictures. Was great for the occasion and I did get some compliments. Not my favorite rental, but not my least favorite either.

I ordered this in a 16 and 20 because they didn't have my regular size (18).  I wore the 20, but the 16 fit, it was just a little tight in waist.  Not my favorite dress I have worn from RTR, but it worked for a bridal shower.  The colors are bright and the floral pattern is pretty.  Probably would not rent again because the dress was a little "old" for my taste.

I wore this for my Mother in laws retirement party & got so many compliments on it. I am normally between a 14 & 16 & went with the 16. The 14 fit but was a little more snug in the chest & rib cage, so I went with the 16. 
The dress hid my tummy well & was so comfortable. I will be renting this again!

I loved this dress, I am normally a size 18 but that size was unavailable so I ordered a size 20. It was a little bit big on me but it was still beautiful and flowy. Very comfortable and pretty. Loved the colors as well. Overall very great first experience with RTR.

I received many compliments and love the pattern of this dress. Great for a summer wedding. I'm 5'4 and the top was a little long but too bad. 

This dress is fitted and runs true to size. Lovely for the wedding I was asked to be Matron of Honor for.  Super pretty, and I appreciated being able to swap out the accessory in store to the perfect pair of green lucite earrings to match. This service is outstanding for getting your act together in a pinch!  The dress received many compliments and I felt really beautiful in it.  Would buy this dress if I could. 

I'm a size 38DDD and it fit a little snug in the bust

I usually wear a 14 but only a 14W was available but it was definitely worth it. I had a neutral colored belt that i wore with it along with a light sweater and I felt SO comfortable. I got so many compliments and the flow of the dress really is lovely. 

This dress looked great and was super comfortable. I would love to buy this if it happens to go on sale at the end of season! Beautiful colors

It was flattering and super comfy! I wish I had a better pic because this one just does not do it justice. I didn't want to give it back!

The dress fit me well. I'm busty so was worried that I would be squished in and would need to size up but that wasn't an issue at all. I'm 5'7" and the dress hit me right above my knee. I liked the fitted top and the flowy skirt that hid my problem area. I really liked the floral pattern and color. 

The dress was awesome to dance in. Despite being windy, I wasn't worried about exposure because there was a built in slip under the dress. I got so many compliments and I loved how bright the florals were. Would totally rent again!

It was a little bit long and was a little big, but unfortunately I picked a larger size for my backup, definitely go with your normal size and a size down.  It was very light weight and perfect for a 95 degree wedding.

I rented the dress and suggested necklace for an evening wedding in May and absolutely loved it. It fit very well and was the perfect color for my skin tone. The flowy skirt is perfect for anyone looking to hide a little tummy. Overall loved the dress and was very comfy the entire night!

I loved this dress! I wore it for my sister's wedding rehearsal and dinner. Super cute and fun, I got compliments all night.  (Sorry the pic is awkward, I'm walking down a step but it was the best pic of the dress!)
I ordered an 18w and a 20w. Usually I wear an 18 but I get one bigger just in case. I liked the way the top of the 18 fit but the bottom of the 20. I have a bigger behind and the zipper kept buckling and getting folded up into the lining of the dress. I was fixing it all night. I opted for the smaller size because it looked better on the top and from the front, which is where most pictures are taken anyway. 
I do have large boobs, it was a little tight in this area but my 40G bust did fit. 

Regardless of this dress, if you're reading this and on the fence about renting- DO IT! It's so much fun, so easy and makes you feel so fancy and glamorous. Having a dress just sent to you?! Who does that? Fabulous women, that's who. I love this service and highly recommend it. 

The dress was beautiful!  I received non stop compliments about the dress and where it came from!  The colors and the design of the dress were a hit.  I thought it would make me feel self conscious about my weight but it was a hit and all I received were wonderful compliments about how flattering the dress was!  My only complaint is that the zipper pokes out at the bottom of the dress a bit, which made me feel like I had a tail and kept trying to pull the bottom of the dress down.  This problem really wasn't that bad though and it would not stop me from recommending the dress.  

**Nothing wrong with wanting to feel pretty.  


okay so I rented this dress just because I wanted to wear something pretty without it being a special occasion. I received a lot of compliments and I wish that I could keep it. my only complaint is that it kept riding up over my tummy so I kept having to fidget with it while I walked or after sitting down.
overall I would highly recommend this dress to anyone.

This dress fit like a glove! I absolutely loved everything about it. It was very flattering and super comfortable. I wear a 42D and it fit just right up top! Great dress.

I felt like I was wearing red in a sea of black! The coral of this dress is very complimentary to every skin tone, it popped out amongst all the black dresses. 

The skirt is very flowy and although pleated (usually a no-no for plus sizes); it looked very nice. 

This dress was great for an outdoor summer wedding - bright and colorful and not too heavy. The colors were beautiful and fun in person and it was a great dress to dance the night away.

I fit well and I will wear it again.  I had to put a cardigan over it for modesty reasons.

Beautiful fit in the chest and waist. Arm holes a bit snug. Material feels lovely against skin. Dress hits perfectly at the knee. Great for afternoon cocktail party!

The fit was spot on.  I loved that the lining was form fitting as to not add additional bulk to the dress.  Plus, I could spin on the dance floor and not worry about showing off more than I wanted to!  

This dress was perfect for an October wedding in Arizona!! It was fun but at the same time elegant enough for a wedding.  Worn with Kate Spade Neon Montage Earrings that I also rented from RTR. 

Fit was good, but a bit baggy in the midsection.

It was slightly tight in the arms but easily zipped up for me. The twirl factor was amazing! The dress was very flattering on my curvy body. I'm well-rounded everywhere and it gave me a nice waist line. I want to buy this dress! The 16W was also a good fit even though the arms were still tight.

This is the dress I originally wanted to order for a KY derby party. My husband suggested I ordered another (I loved it), and i got this as a free backup when the back up to the other dress was out of stock. Thanks RTR - that is a cool policy. Anyway, the dress that I loved in line, not so much IRL. I'm on the border between 14 being a little small on me and 14W being too big. This was a little too big, esp in the bust , and I am chesty. The gathered waist didn't flatter either maybe it hit me In the wrong spot.  I would suggest, if you rent, wear heels. Because of where this W size dress hits - it would look a little fuddy duddy with heels. I think on the right body, the side print would be slimming, which is why I was attracted. 

This dress was very comfortable! I wore it for my friend's wedding. I liked the neckline was high and I can wear a normal bra with it. I do think it made me look a little bigger, but was perfect for the wedding. It was a great fun color that you don't see often. The fit was true to size and I ended up fitting perfectly into the 16. There was enough room for my chest too. Beautiful dress!

Perfect for a summer wedding.  Lined, but not hot.  I opted to add a belt since it was a tad big in the waist (which I would say is true to the designer).  Good experience!

This dress was so comfortable and fits pretty true to size. I loved the color and the flowy skirt made it fun for dancing as well. Got lots of compliments and wish I could keep it in my closet. 

The fit was pretty loose. I had always worn a 20W in RTR, but having recently lost 25lbs I wasn't sure what size Id be. I rented the 16w and 18w. The 16w fit great, there was even a little extra room around the waist. The dress was very comfortable and so fun to be in. I got lots of compliments and felt beautiful! It was the perfect dress for my best friends bridal shower. 

This is a great dress for summer! The colors are bright and tropical. It has a nice relaxed fit. It does run a little larger, though, so I would suggest sizing down if you want a more of a snug fit. This style would be great fora  more casual event, like a weekend getaway or something like that! The length was a little longer than I expected, so shorter women should be aware of that.

The fit was a little big on top, but that's because I'm on the shorter side and have a shorter torso. That being said, I was extremely comfortable! Was able to dance all night! It was the perfect dress for an Orange County, CA wedding. So many of my girlfriends and other wedding guests commented on how much they adores my dress. It was perfect! 

The event was a daytime fall wedding, so I needed something dressy but not too formal. It was also the first time my boyfriend's extended family was going to meet me. So, I needed to look perfect. 
This was great for that kind if occasion. The orange was a little lighter than I expected - it bordered on salmon colored. But it was easy to match colors to and it was comfy and fun for many hours. 

The 16 was a little small and the 18 was a little big in the bust area. 

If you're busty (I'm a 40H according to Prima Donna) the dress might pull around the armpits a bit, but it's worth it and not enough of a problem to take away a star. I carry a lot of weight in my stomach and I can't stand that about myself and this dress really helped take attention away from that area. It was comfortable and flowy too so it was easy to dance in! I wore the white sweater because I hate my thick arms. I appreciate the amazing help I got from the RTR stylists. 

This dress is so perfect, I got compliments all night! I am considering purchasing it I love it so much. It was easy to wear, fun to dance in, and I felt it was the perfect color scheme for a summer wedding. I also added a picture of the Kate Spade earrings I rented because they matched beautifully, like they were made to be worn together. 

Rarely can I put on a dress and have it fit so nicely - no arm hole issues, no hide-the-tummy issues.  It was a little blouse-y on the top, when usually I have no problem filling out a top.  I would have liked to add a belt for definition, but there are no belt loops.  Lovely flowiness, and compliments from strangers galore, usually on the print and color.  I wouldn't say this was the most flattering dress, I felt like it added a couple pounds, but it was certainly fun to wear to a summer wedding.
