This was a backup for a dress that I rented that couldn't ship on time. I was able to pick two backups actually, before it was too late. It was a nice fit, although was a tad tight on my rib cage, but I'm usually on the verge of 6 or 8. It was a nice thick fabric, which was good for a chilly night. Overall I liked this dress, but I don't know that it was as fabulous as others I've rented. 

This dress lays so beautifully! I have a small waist but am curvier in the hips and the dress didn't make my hips look any larger. The pockets are small so not large enough to carry a phone or lipstick. 

Adorable dress that I got a ton of compliments on! Fits a little snug in the waist but perfectly everywhere else, so I wouldn't recommend it when you're feeling bloated. I wore this to work and then to an event afterward and got a ton of compliments!

Fabric is super comfy. This was flattering enough to wear to work, but nothing special. 

A little tight around the rib cage, but otherwise true to size. I wore to work, but could've dressed up as well. 

I went with the 10 for a bit more ease in the waist seam - the only place that doesn't have any "give".  Loved the pockets and print.  Styled it with a leather Moto jacket for the event and got many complements on the outfit/look.  Could wear a normal bra so that was a plus!

Rented this for a cancer benefit/speaking engagement. The dress was bright and beautiful, exactly what I was looking for! Material was thick, comfortable, pockets were a bonus and it paired well with boots and cowboy hat for our western themed evening. Dress was true to size and I receieved numerous comments throughout the evening.  Greatly appreciated the higher neckline not only for modesty but to cover my port for chemo infusions. 

The dress was great! The colors work well together. I was worried that my bra would show on the side, but it didn't, which I was thankful for. The only negative that I can possibly think of is that the pockets aren't really that deep. It was perfect for my chap stick, but I wouldn't trust my phone to stay in there while dancing. However, having my phone in my pocket isn't that important of a feature to me, so this dress is still fabulous! I love the material and was perfectly happy with it. The dress was great and made me feel good in it.

I rented this for a Sunday afternoon wedding at a winery. It was a VERY hot day so the fabric was a little heavy, but would have been fine under any other circumstance. I normally wear a 16 or maybe a 14 so I was worried that the 16W would be a little big in the waist, but as most have commented, the waist runs a little smaller so that was perfect. The armhole was nice and covered my bra well. (this is sometimes an issue in larger sizes.) I loved the pockets. The print of the dress makes it versatile as far as the color of shoes. I would rent this again. 

This dress was a back up. There was no notification process of a back up dress being sent, I just happened to go check on my order a few days before shipping and noticed my original dress was not being sent. Would have been nice to know ahead of time. HOWEVER! I loved this dress and I'm really happy this is the one that came. An evening wedding in late September in Colorado = rainy, windy and chilly so I'm also grateful for the slightly heavier material. I have a very small chest and a big lower half and this dress made my proportions look normal. I could see how someone with a larger chest or bigger ribs might be uncomfortable in this as the top doesn't have a ton of give. Colors were beautiful! I can't wear heels, but this dress looked great with flats! The overall experience was super easy and I'm glad I decided to use RTR! Yay!

I'm normally a standard size 14. The 14 fit everywhere fine, except at the seam, which was too high for my natural waist and too low for the dress to be considered empire waist. So it dug in to me uncomfortably. I ended up wearing the 16, which was a little large, especially around the arm openings, but it wasn't noticeable to anyone else. The RTW sizing calls them out as 14w and 16w, but the tags only show straight 14 & 16. Not sure if they're actually W sizes. 
Regardless, the dress is beautiful & and I  received lots of compliments. 
The scuba fabric would be better suited to a cooler day, it was in the 80s the day I wore it, because of the weight of the fabric. 

Rented this for a wedding at the Art Institute in Chicago. Fun colors/print, comfy and easy to wear, and pockets! 

First, it has pockets! Second this dress fit so perfectly and moved so beautifully. I loved wearing it to work and thought it was true perfect dress. I would also wear it to a wedding because it was easy to move in and very comfortable. The material is heavy so if you were outside in 80 degree weather it could get hot. I loved it!

I loved this dress - the material is perfect and very flattering. You can tell from the edges of the material and some spots that this dress (this size) has been worn numerous times from the wear and tare. 
As some have said the waist line is TIGHT I might have been more comfortable in a size up. 
Numerous people complimented it and I definitely loved it - my fiancé was the best man so it still matched his tux and the wedding colors. 
Also .. it has pockets .. LOVEEEEE

Dresses are always a challenge because I have a full chest. This dress offered a comfy fit on the top while hitting my waist in the perfect spot. It was comfy and had pockets! I got a lot of compliments :)

I rented this dress for my first anniversary date. It was the type of dress that can be dressed up or down depending on shoes/accessories, and has a gorgeous pattern! The fabric is stretchy; however, the seem around the waist line is not. After dinner and a couple beers I was pretty uncomfortable in it. Regardless, it was a very flattering dress! I would rent it again if I was going to an event without a lot of food and drinks!

This dress was SUPER comfortable. The 18 fit perfectly around my waist but I did notice that because of the size the top of the neckline would bunch up a little because I am smaller on the top than I am on the bottom. But that didn't deter from how beautiful the dress looked on. It is also a thicker material so there is no worry about seeing edges or curves through the dress. This dress also has pockets! I wore it to a bridal shower and I couldn't have been happier! 

These were marked women's sizes, but didn't run as large as 14W / 16W usually would, especially at the waist. Great thick fabric is soft, colors are vibrant. Lots of complements! Wear a bra that fastens like a halter to be sure straps don't show.  Great length, not too short.

This dress was perfect for a special day at church. Colors in dress popped off the fabric without being loud.  Very nice water color blending can be worn in spring, fall or even year-round in Florida :-)

Although dress is sleeveless, the high neckline and Aline bottom make it appropriate  for any occasion. 

I added a black skinny belt and royal blue pumps. 

I will wear this again. 

Comfy scuba material makes it form fitting in the right areas. Definitely true to size. A-line is very flattering for a curvy figure and you can wear a regular bra!  

Great fit and very comfortable. Wore this for an October beach wedding

I rented this dress for a networking work event through unlimited. Super cute dress, fits well. I am typically a size 2 or 4 I had put on some weight and size 6 fits perfectly. Dress cinches the waist and looks great. I wore with a belt and a black cardi since it is cold this time of year. Would be pretty with no stockings and nude shoes in the spring. Only complaint, looks a little worn out on the seams. 

I'm 5'7" and around 125 with a long torso. I got a 2 with the 0 as the backup size. I could fit the 0, but it was too snug when I breathed in deeply, so I wore the size 2. 

I wore the dress with navy blue pumps and a statement necklace and it was perfect. I love the pockets, which make it easy to keep some lipgloss on hand. It feels really high quality and has some movement to it. 

I ordered this dress for a November baby shower in Louisiana.  I ordered the 14 and the 16 and I’m glad I did! The 14 had the perfect amount of a snug fit. The only reason I went with the 16 instead of the 14 is because the midsection-seam does not have as much flexibility as the rest of the dress and I knew I would be sitting and eating throughout the event. The 16 as lose at the top and obviously a little longer but, because of the event, I didn’t mind. If it had been an event with mostly standing I would’ve totally gone with the 14. The scuba fabric is thick enough to keep me warm on the cool day but breathable enough to where I never felt hot. The fabric feels AMAZING on the body and the pattern looks just as amazing. I paired it with a black waist belt to break up the fabric a little. This was my first RTR purchase and I couldn’t have been happier!

Not only did this dress fit perfectly, but it was so comfortable and was a gorgeous color/pattern as well.  One thing I really liked about this dress was the fit/flare style - I was able to wear a regular bra and did not need any kind of Spanx or special undergarment. Another thing I appreciated about this dress was the length.  I am 5"10," so often times have trouble finding a dress that is an appropriate length on me.  The scuba material was really comfortable and not too heavy, but also not too lightweight for a fall wedding.  I paired the dress with a pair of royal blue heels, simple earrings and a few stacked bracelets. I am not one to rent the same dress twice, but would seriously consider getting this one again!   I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone looking for a comfortable, but cute dress for an upcoming event.  

previously, i had rented a different dress from this same designer in the same size, and this one fit a little bit smaller.  The waist was tight on my ribcage with NO give.  However, the fit and flare style was very complimentary, and the colors are amazing!

The material was a little heavier than I thought it would be but it was super comfortable. The fit was great and I will definitely be renting it again

I am in between sizes, usually 12 or 14 (I'm 5'3" 160lbs 36D) This dress was sent to me as a backup when my original dress became unavailable. The dress material is different but kinda cool in the scuba material. It has some stretch but not in the waist where the seam is. Fit on me was a tad tight, but still wearable (it did get a little uncomfortable after eating dinner and drinking!)  I loved that the dress was something totally different than what I would haunt wear and more fun than a plain LBD. 

I rented this dress for a wedding and absolutely loved it.  The fit was perfect, the material was breathable and flattering, the pockets were great and I got tons of compliments!

I wore this dress to a bridal shower in South Carolina. The fabric is thick but very comfortable and feels almost like jersey. Despite being close to 95 degrees, I didn't find this to be too hot to wear because it seemed very breathable. This was really a solid dress with a great pattern for a bridal shower. Also long (just about came to my knees) so very appropriate in front of strangers and/or family members. I would have normally worn one size down, but they were sold out. The next size up was a little big but not noticeably. 

Tag is a bit scratchy but the material is thick and has pockets. Wore a strapless bra with this. Paired with wedges and a sparkly necklace.

The print on this dress is stunning!  I loved the feel of fabric and the length was perfect for someone that is tall.  The dress photographed very well.  I would highly recommend this dress.

Very comfortable and easy to dance in. Color was gorgeous and the dress  is very unique.  I have a hard time finding dresses that fit my busy but thankfully this worked out.  It was slightly tight in the waist but otherwise great. 

I love this designer because there is always enough room for broad shoulders and my 38D bust.  That being said it was a tad short waisted for me but still was a fabulous dress.  The neoprene material was not heavy although my evening was cool and rainy.  The pockets were a nice feature.  It was fun to dance in and the hemline hit me right at the knee and I am 5'8".  I received lots of complements and may be renting this one again!

I love this dress! I have rented this twice now, once for a wedding and once for a baby shower shown in the picture here. It is perfect to dress up with heels or dress down with tights and boots. The scuba material makes it super comfortable and the pockets are very useful. The color on the dress is pretty too and makes it more fun than your typical black dress. If I rent this one more time, I might buy it.

RTR had a crazy fulfillment issue the weekend of my event, customer service sent this as a replacement dress for what I ordered.  I ended up with 4 replacements + the one I wanted ended up showing up - so I wore them all!    The fit on this one was a little snug at the top.  The cut overall was nice, the colors were pretty, but I didn't love this dress.  Too much going on with the pattern.

Wore this to a christening. Nice material. Great fir. Has pockets, which is always a plus. Paired it with electric blue suede pimps. Received lots of compliments. Would definitely order size down.
