This was a little loose-fitting all around since the petite wasn't available in my size, I suspect the 10P or 8R would have fit better but even so it was perfect for the event and I received many compliments! Doesn't need much jewelry, I wore it with sandals on the beach and low heels at the reception.

This dress was beautiful and I received so many compliments throughout the evening! The only issue I had which I was able to fix with a few bobby pins, was that the inside slip was longer than the outside layer of the dress. Otherwise, it was great!

I rented this dress 2 years ago in a size 6 before I had my second baby. I fell in love with it. This time I rented a size 8 because the 6 wasn't available. It was a little big around the arms and waist. I think it runs true to size and wish I had gotten the 6. The other reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the hem of the slip was about 1.5 inches longer than the dress hem! It looked so busted but I didn't have a backup and had to wear it. It seemed like someone hemmed the dress but not the slip. Other than that, the dress is beautiful. 

I got compliments all night! Such a romantic dress. Definitely made me feel great! 

Fits like a glove. Flows beautifully. Great fabric 

Light, airy, perfect for a hot summer night, this dress was really flattering and comfortable. 

The length was very short. I am 5'8" and wore flats and it was still well off the ground. It still fit well on the top and waist.

Loved loved loved this dress. The pattern is fun while still being elegant. This was perfect for a more formal outdoor wedding. At 5'7" the 2R was fairly short on me but worked well with flats. 

I really loved wearing this dress, especially since I'm in the awkward stage of pregnancy where clothes don't quite fit. I ordered a size higher than I normally wear because I'm growing in my chest and waist. The dress allowed me to where a regular bra and even had the snaps to keep the straps from showing. The waist line hit just above my bump and the dress flowed perfectly. I was between 16/17 weeks here. So I would have RTR add this to their bump friendly list. It was perfect for a fancy November day wedding. 

2nd dress in this style from this designer I have rented. Fits true to size. Great breath ability and super comfy. Perfect for lots of dancing.

This dress was gorgeous! I got compliments all night and the colors were just stunning. It was perfect for an outdoor fall wedding. I would say it ran true to size although there is not a lot of give in the chest area so it was a little snug if you are busty. Overall I would recommend this to anyone!

Loved this dress and would rent again. Was perfect length with 3.5 in heels and extremely comfortable all night long. was great for a summer wedding as material was light and airy. Only downside was that I could have used a size 0. The 2 was a big in the waist/chest area. 

This dress was great for a wedding reception.  The fit was perfect and received many compliments.  I would say it runs a bit short since I am 5'3" and it touched the ground perfect with flats (I wanted to wear flats)  I wish I owned this dress it was so comfortable and classy.

I wore this dress for a June wedding in Wisconsin. It was a tad tight in the chest, but overall very comfortable! I was hoping to wear a 2R to wear heels, but flat sandals with the 2P worked out just fine! I received lots of compliments on this dress!

The bust fit perfectly, which I worry about sometimes with a 36DD. The waist was a bit big for me, but not noticeably. I got tons of compliments and it was really comfortable!

This dress was really great, I loved it so much. I wore for a wedding and absolutely loved the fit. It was comfy to wear during both the wedding & reception.. appropriate for a Catholic church wedding and it even had pockets to store my phone! The pictures I have aren't great due to poor lighting but I would HIGHLY recommend this dress. It was a little short on me (I'm 5'8), so if you were planning on wearing heels I'd go for the long size if you are my height or taller. As it was I could only wear flats... okay with me, easier to dance! :)

I am only 5' 1", so I get nervous with renting long dresses.  I wore the 4 regular after not being able to receive the 2P because it was previously damaged.  It hit the ground perfectly with 4 inch heels.  The lining is a bit longer and shows at the bottom.  I did have to hold the dress up majority of the night so I didn't trip, but it was worth it-- even had pockets!! 

Loved this dress for a wedding at the beach/yacht club. The top bit just a tad too big but I think I was the only one to notice. I wore with flat sandals and it was perfect. I received tons of compliments too! A+

In short, it was the perfect floral maxi dress for a beautiful spring daytime wedding! 

So I had originally rented a size 10 and 8 but the 10 was returned damaged so I was able to chose another dress along with the size 8 in this style. I really wanted to wear this dress so I put on layers of shapewear and success! it was a little tight in my chest and I believe a size 10 would have been perfect. This dress hides your stomach without looking like a maternity dress. it was perfect for a spring wedding. I wore wedges and the length was still perfect. I did wear a black bolero because I hate my arms and since the dress was snug it caused some arm fat bulge.  I sincerely love this dress and would buy it outright in a heartbeat. Thanks for a wonderful first experience! 

I ended up sizing down. The 4R  in this dress fit well, but you could see the lining (maybe it was just that particular dress). The 2P was not that much smaller in the waist, but the length hit the top of my feet, so I could only wear flat sandals. I wish the 2R had been in stock so I could have worn heels! I accessorized with a turquoise clutch, turquoise necklace, cream sandals and cream colored wrap.

Ordered a petite, fell a little short with 4 inch heels on, but not too noticeable. Overall very comfortable, great, flowy fit. Floral print perfect for a spring event! 

The dress ran true to size and was very flattering. I'm 5'8'' and had to wear flat sandals.  I wore a convertible bra and criss-crossed the straps which worked perfectly.  The purple liner in the dress was at least 1 inch longer than the dress in the front, so I had to pin it up so it wasn't hanging out. Overall I LOVED wearing this dress and wish I owned it!

The dress fit great. It was super comfortable and had pockets! Length was good as well. Fell just above the floor with a pair of wedges I wore. 

I can't really speak to the fit of the dress. I was 11 weeks pregnant and trying to conceal for one more week. Nothing is fitting me quite like it used to. I usually wear a size 6-8. This dress was perfect and concealed great! It was so comfy and I had tons of compliments. Thanks RTR for another great rental! 

The fit was perfect and fit true to size. I'm usually a size S or 4 and I wore the 4. I wore flats with it and it was the perfect length. I could have worn wedges, but I think the flats just made it more appropriate for the daytime event. Loved the fabric, feel, and it has pockets. Beautiful color and look!

this dress was so comfortable and perfect for a rehearsal dinner on a boat cruise. I am a bit on the shorter side, so I wore with wedges and it was the perfect length.  It would have been too long to wear with flat sandals. I received compliments all night! 

I was able to fit into an 8...normally wear 10. The top is very fitted and you may need to size up if busty. Very lovely dress....my only complaint is the zipper. About half way up it would get stuck. 

Great fit and the colors were beautiful in person. I'm pretty tall and the dress was a little short. Still looked fine with flat sandals though. 

I wore this maxi dress to my college graduation and it looked beautiful! The floral print was absolutely gorgeous in person and I received many compliments on it. The only downside was that I did get a bit warm while wearing the dress, though (full disclosure) I was wearing a black graduation gown over it and did a fair amount of walking outdoors.  Also, being only 5'4 and wearing flats, the dress was floor-length. Overall, very lovely dress, but maybe not the best choice for a hot and/or active day.

dress was super comfortable and could be worn with a regular bra. length of the 4R was perfect with flats. and don't forget the pockets!! I got compliments all night. 

This dress fits tue to size and with 3 inch heels, it was the perfect length.  It is comfortable and looks dressier in person. I received many compliments and would more than willing to wear it again!

Fit was very true to size. The dress was also just perfect in length to wear with casual wedge sandals. I got lots of compliments from other attendees at the baby shower I went to. 

I LOVED this dress! It was very comfortable, easy to wear, and flattering.  The print and color were beautiful.  I was able to wear a normal racer back bra.  The dress was a little short when I wore it with 2" heels but not too noticeable. I had a little trouble with the zipper but nothing terrible.

Perfect fit! Light and airy for an outdoor summer wedding, perfect print for a garden party, and modest enough for a formal church ceremony. I am a true size 12 (36DDD) in the bust and 10-12 in my hips and this dress was so comfortable and fit like a glove. Definitely needs a heel if you are under 5'8", but if you don't mind picking up your skirt while dancing barefoot then you are good to go. Tons of compliments all night. I HIGHLY recommend!!!


Fit was true to size. I am 5'7 and wore the 2 regular with flat sandals. The dress hit the ground perfectly! The long would have been perfect for heels but I wanted to be comfortable and chose flats. The color on the dress looks so much better on and in person than the photo or on a hanger. I received compliments all night and was so comfortable! 

This actually wasn't the dress I ordered but after a mixup with the original dress, a stylist helped pick this one for me and shipped it to me in time for the wedding. I don't think I would have picked it originally based on the image but I'm SO glad I ended up with this one. 

This was for an outdoor wedding, pretty formal (tuxes for men). 

This dress runs true to size. The print is beautiful and the fabric is lovely for the summer. I did not wear the dress to the wedding, but instead used the backup dress I rented because the lining of the dress was hanging about an inch below the hem in the front (the picture does not do it justice about how bad it looked in person). I loved the dress so much that I thought briefly about trying to pin it up, but didn't because I thought that might hurt the fabric and/or not look good. Unfortunately, I didn't have any fashion tape. I agree with other reviewers that the dress would look better and be more flattering without the ruffle, but it is so small that you barely notice it (which means it also seems pointless). All of that said, I was really disappointed that I could not wear it to the wedding because the fit was perfect and the print is lovely.

Ok so my last review said the Mai Tai dress was my favorite rental....-update- this is my favorite rental ever. This made me feel like a 5'11 super model. It was lengthening and so flattering. The dress fit perfectly, other than being a little long, it was fine with my 4 inch heels. The color was vibrant and beautiful, material was light and airy perfect for a summer wedding and the quality of the dress was like it was never worn. I loved that it had pockets as well, so chic. I wish I could wear this dress every day of my life. RENT IT!!!

I rented this dress 2 & 1/2 weeks post baby.  I loved the print as it could "hide" any post baby weight, bra friendly (bonus are the bra strap fasteners inside the dress!) and pockets (so I could keep my phone on my for updates from my mom watching the baby!)  I wore 4 inch heels though and the dress was still incredibly long so I had to be careful especially when walking down stairs not to trip!  I am normally a size zero in Shoshanna, but knew I was going to have to go up a size and the size 2 was perfect.

Pros: silk chiffon, great color/floral pattern, comfortable, flattering

Cons: I'm 5'4"... I wore 2.5in heels, could have gone higher with the shoes so it wasn't dragging.
