I loved this dress!  It was super comfortable and cute at the same time.  I rented an 8 with the 6 as a backup size but ultimately wore the 6.  It definitely runs a little on a larger side, so size down.  The smaller size is a little shorter, obviously, so you do need to watch if you're raising your arms too high...the dress will go with it. Other than that, this was the perfect party dress! I would definitely rent this one again!

Nice heavy fabric, lined, looks expensive, but it just didn't flatter me. I feel like this would work well for body types with a larger bust. I am a 34A and a size 4 in this dress fit well. Any larger in the chest and you would have to size up

The inner slip feels smaller than the dress. Wish it had fallen a little bit longer.

It was just ok, the top was a little tight across the chest and shoulders, which create a slim upper silhouette but wasn't supper comfortable. It was glory and cute, but ultimately didn't do anything for me. My boss said, "Wow, aren't we casual today," in an already casual office :/ 

Loved this dress, my regular size was too big but sizing down made it be a perfect fit. Lovely fabric and a really nice quality dress. Would rent this again!

The silk textures and trapeze fit make for fun movement to spice up a black dress! Super comfy and flattering for my 7 month pregnant belly! Would totally wear again!

I am so in love with this dress.  I wore it to work and a holiday party later that evening.  Everyone loved it and gave me so many compliments.  It is the perfect length and so flattering.  I am even thinking about buying it because I love it so much!  

Got so many compliments on this dress!  Very comfortable. Loved the fit 

This dress was just what I was looking for--something chic yet not form fitting. The arms were a little tight but overall this dress was beautiful and wearable all day long. Lots of long necklaces complimented this dress for multiple looks. The bell sleeve is my favorite part--fun and unique!

Loved this dress! My husbands command threw a "casino night" and the attire was cocktail? This dress was perfect. True to size but it is short, I had to be careful of how far I raised my arms!

With the drop waist it fit a Great Gatsby theme party but without feeling too much like a costume. It was an original look for the party and was very comfortable. 
I wore the larger of my sizes due to the length. It was just a bit longer and for a black tie event it felt more appropriate. It definitely had no shape as most 1920-30s dresses and having to size up for length did make almost feel like a tent. It worked out fine that it was a bit bigger because it was very warm out and so it's fit of a shift dress was cooling and did not cling at all.
Very nice fabric and color. The pictures don't do it justice. It felt high quality with a nice built in slip and even down to the structure of the zipper it was well done. 
I would rent this dress again and maybe even in different colors. 

Dress runs big.  comfortable, but not too flattering.  I ended up wearing a sweater over the dress to give it a bit more shape.  Unfortunately the sweater then hid the sleeves which is one of the most fun features of the dress.  

If you have a large chest, size up. There is no stretch to this dress. If you get the right size, it is awesome! I was so comfortable all night. I wore a regular bra. With the accessories I got to go with it, it was just the right amount of formal. Its much prettier in person & well made. 

Gained weight & I was not comfortable in anything I was trying on ~ This dress is even better then it looks online.  Super comfortable very dressy and very classy. This was my first time renting and it won't be my last.

Worked well as a tunic but would be funky as a dress. I say this because there is a silky fabric along the bottom of the piece and it hits at a level that clearly makes it seem like a top. As a top, I like it! Not a great dress though. 

The fit of the dress is very forgiving and I got so much compliments - it's perfect to show off my belly when i wear the same size as my pre-pregnant size. (So I would think this dress may run large for others, unless you have a large mid-section...which is also me before I get pregnant). For my company's work party, I actually purchased a materntiy dress elsewhere but the fit was horrible for my petite body frame (requires a lot of fixes by a seamtress). So I tried to see if anything from RTR would work and this dress just works beautifully. If you are short and on the edge of plus size before pregnancy like me (size 14, 5'2), this is a great dress not to miss. Large size maternity dresses tend to think the mother-to-be are tall...(so if you are tall, this may not work). The look of the dress may not be very formal but you can dress up with accessories and shoes accordingly to give that formal look. I think this is a hidden gem for petite pregnant ladies to consider if you need a LBD!

This was a nice LBD for the office. Lots of room throughout, so good for a bump (I was at 21 weeks and had plenty of room); if not renting for a bump i would size down. The sleeves are very large and flowy, the fabric is thick but not stiff. The dress is pretty but nothing special, so I probably wouldn't rent again. 

The dress was awesomely comfortable and I could wear my own  undergarments without any spanx stuff like that. Thats a huge plus for me.  I wanted to be able to dance all night with my kids and I did. The dress was a little big with a lot of fabric around my hips which I thought made me look bigger than I am.  But overall it was a win!

Simple, loose, but classy option for a cocktail party. It was so easy to wear. At 5'10 it was a little short so  I needed tights.
