I loved this dress! I usually wear a 10 but I'm curvy so a 12 worked for me without pulling in the hip area. You can do a big statement necklace or a large statement earrings, your choice! There is no zipper so this has to pulled over your head or pulled on from the bottom. Also I'm 5'2 so this was pretty long on me but the slit was tasteful and helped in that aspect. 

Loads of compliments from all genders. This dress was classy with a bit of flare from the collar pop. Be sure to give it an extra iron down before wearing so it lays flat against the collar bone. Great thick material and extra panel in the chest that helped me go secretly bra free. 

Red, white and blue themed gala. Normally wear a 6 and the 42 fit perfectly.  The ruffle made it so special. So comfortable with a lot of stretch. 

Great dress! Material feels like scuba so it hugs and stretches in only the right spots. At 20 weeks, this is a godsend. Highly recommended for work or professional event (luncheon or evening appropriate). Two thumbs way up. 

This is a hot dress. It's tight and the bras doesn't look good underneath, so get it if you are ok going without a bras.

I rented this dress for our civil ceremony. It was my amazing. Fits true to size. I'm small chested and didn't wear a bra. The dress is a body con but the material is thick and forgiving. 

This dress is so gorgeous, and I really loved the ruffle! I wore my typical size, and I do think it fit well, but I would recommend sizing up for your backup because it definitely shows everything. I don't normally have issues with things being tight on my legs, but this one was pretty fitted around my thighs. However, I actually thought it was surprisingly comfortable fabric and it was really pretty!

I love this trendy dress by La Petite Robe di Chiara Boni! Running small with some stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and fitted at the hips. It works best for A-C cup. You are able to wear a standard bra with this dress. At 5'0", the length hit below the knee length on me. This a very unique dress and the fit was very snug. Pair with strappy heels to complete your outfit!

I absolutely loved this dress. After a slight panic when I couldn't zip up my original rental with restrictive boning in the bodice, I worked with the RTR stylists to find this stretchy, gorgeous option for my baby shower. I got so many compliments and felt gorgeous. (I even got called "hot" which I would not have expected to be called while pregnant -- the dress is Magic! ;) ) 

The fabric is very comfortable and stretchy; I wore it all day with no problems. I did wear normal undergarments, but pulled the shoulder of the dress and my bra strap to the side for more of an off-the-shoulder effect. 

The dress did have some slight stains on the skirt but they were not noticeable unless holding the fabric close. 

The dress does not have a zipper, so be sure to watch your hair and make-up while pulling it over your head. 

Overall -- a fabulous rental, pregnant or not! I adore the feel of this designer's fabrics and the design structure of this bodice. 

Gorgeous, a stunner; a little more snug than usual in this brand. I get the feeling it'll have a few grand nights then get a little worn-looking. Right now the white is gleaming and the ruffle doesn't stay in a great position for long. I wore a regular bra and a girdle. Loved it!!

I'm a pear shape (4 on top and 8 on bottom). I wore a 6 (size 42) which fit well. A bit too big in the waist and tight around my legs, but overall it fit and I was very happy with it. I got lots of compliments too! 

My husband and I renewed our vows in Las Vegas, and this dress is what I wore out on the town afterwards.   It's practically perfect in every way. 

It's true to size, leaning to slightly big. I almost always wear a 0, maybe a 2, and the XS fit just about perfect.  I could've used a little more hips/butt to fill it out, but still it wasn't too big on me.   You can kind of arrange the shoulders anywhere you like - one up, one down, both up, both down - it seemed pretty flexible. It was nice and snug (like this brand is) without being too snug or needing shape wear and completely opaque. 

It's modern and maybe a little sci-fi - I feel like Princess Leia or Padme Amidala would have this dress in their closet.  I got endless compliments on it all night long, and it made me feel bad ass and powerful. 

My only quibble with the dress was that it liked to ride up when I was walking. Not in a "omg, you can see my underpants" sort of way, just enough to be slightly annoying.  I think the issue was caused by my aforementioned lack of butt, so your results may vary.  It wouldn't stop me from renting this dress again though - it was amazing. 

I wore this dress for a white formal.  It's very fitted and white isn't the most forgiving color.  

I think it gives a sophisticated look which I was going for.  

I did not love this dress. It was very form fitting and you could see every flaw my body had. I rented it to wear to a dinner with work that was supposed to be a bit "fancy." I think this dress fit the occasion, but I was just not very comfortable in it. I still gave it a 4 star rating, because it is a very nice dress, just not something I would rent again. I am 5'11" and the dress came to my knees, so it may be a bit long for shorter gals. Plus side is that you can wear a regular bra with this. For me, spanx were desperately needed to smooth out all my lumps.  

This dress fits perfectly.  Makes me look curvy even though I am tall.

Loved the fit and feel of this dress.  Was a little scared that with it being white that it would be a little see through.  No worries there, nice thick material that showed just enough. Reduced my undergarments to body fit wear to conceal the seams and ensure a smooth fit and finish. 

Perfect and tight but be aware does not hide anything .

I didn't love the fabric but it looked great in pictures! The fabric was sort of thick and not very breathable.

very cute; you need to wear a strapless bra.  The slit on the leg is a bit high -- ok for me at work since I'm short, but might be too high for a tall gal.

Planned to wear this for church & a retirement party. This dress is gorgeous- incredible fit and style. Unfortunately it had a big stain on the inside of the ruffle- tried to wear it anyway and hope it wouldn't show, but my husband wouldn't let me out of the house . Would love to try again, though. I'm on unlimited so I just sent it back. 

Choose one size up as it didn't ride up my hips as I moved like this size did

I'm a big fan of this brand and am familiar with the scuba material.  The dress was a great concept but unfortunately isn't flattering unless you have a smoking hot body; otherwise it's completely unforgiving.  I figured as much since it's white scuba/stretchy material but...ugh...back it goes!  To be fair - if I were skinnier with a flat stomach and very tan I'd probably love it!

Did not wear. It was very tight and showed everything. Size up and you'll need Spanx if wearing this. 

Awesome dress. Had a built in shelf bra. Spanx required!  Shows everything!  The arm holes are so small. It squeezed my shoulder/ back of arm area too tight. Women with thinner arms are more suited for this one. 

Tight across the bust , very hard to get on.  Don't try and get dressed alone.
