30 weeks pregnant and this dress is so comfy. Plenty of room for my bump, across the chest (probably a 36 DD/E at this point. 8/10 pre-pregnancy and now more like a 12/14) and under the arms. Could likely fit in a medium if I needed to but the large is great. Neckline isn't too low, full coverage bra friendly. Material is soft, flowy and lightweight, perfect for hot SC summers. Can be dressed up or down, hits right above my ankles (5'7"). Will definitely be keeping this one for a while!

Love the color, print and fabric of this top! Very stretchy and comfortable,l. No buttons so no gaping! Neckline is a little low but works great with a cami. The only problem is that it is HUGE! Too big to wear. It definitely needs to be fitted to keep the shape. I'm an 8/10 34dd and the 46 was wayyyy too big and I decided not to wear it. Definitely needed to size down for the waist and the arms. Lots of volume in the arms but even the cuffs at the wrist were too big! It just hung off me :(

Rented this for the 4th of July and it ended up being a favorite of my fiancée. The top ran large across the bust, but adjustable straps helped. I didn't mind because we were outside in the heat and I wanted it to hang away from me a little more. It definitely tapers in at the bottom for a bubble effect so that has a much closer fit. Could have gone with a medium in the top, but glad I had the large for a hot day at the bottom. The liner is slimmer, as well. Actually hugged my backside nicely! Bubble shape wasn't too juvenile and flattered my curves surprisingly well. Wish I had a better picture to show the color, very flattering red.

Love this skirt, received endless compliments. I'm an 8/10 and the medium fit perfectly. Thin material, but not at all clingy. Styled this with a black three-quarter blouse (stayed tucked in with the elastic waistband surprisingly well) for office casual on Friday and then a black tank with espadrille wedges for a weekend look. Cool enough for humid SC summers, but the fit wasn't too bootylicious for the office. Tons of comments on the fun pattern/color: "feels like animal print but better." Versatile piece that easily goes from day to night.

I think the bust and arms of this dress run small in comparison to other dresses by the same designer (I've rented 3 or 4 now). I'm in between an 8 and a 10 and the 10 would have been better. In other dresses I've gotten a 10 and probably could have sized down in all of them. Hips and waist fit fine, but it was definitely tight across the bust and the cap sleeves duh into my arms a bit. Material was thick but not hot and the fresh mint color was a nice change for the summer.

Loved this dress, wish I had a photo. I have been in between a 10 and an 8 (trending towards an 8 lately). This was only available in a 10 and I definitely could have sized down! Lots of room in the bust and arms (I'm a 34DD). Great for work, light material perfect for SC summers. Thinking about renting again in the 8. No problems with the slit at the top gaping open. Barely noticed it was there.

LOVED! This dress was extremely comfortable and flattering. Fiancé wasn't excited when I showed him pics, but he loved it in person. The material was thin but not clingy, perfect for an outdoor wedding in South Carolina in 95 degree heat. I did wear Spanx to smooth everything out. Didn't have any issues with the strap falling down, but I am larger up top so it worked perfectly for me. I'm also bouncing back and forth between a 10 and an 8 right now and the 10 was perfect. Could have fit into the 8 if I wanted it to fit more closely, but probably would have been too small in the chest.

Great material, comfortable, lots of compliments on the color. I am mostly between an 8 and a 10 right now and sized up to the 10 based on other reviews. I wore this to work and did not want it to be too tight. The 10 fit, but the 12 would have been better for my conservative work environment (I have lots of curves). The side slit wasn't too revealing, which I was worried about. Color was not too pale, even for my lighter complexion. would rent again in the 12.

This dress is perfect for a spring or summer wedding. The fabric is light weight, comfortable for warmer weather. It's only lined down to the thigh so the bottom half caught the breeze so nicely! It hung so well on my body, not too clingy but I did wear spanx to smooth everything out. Length did not touch the ground which was great for this outdoor wedding at a farm. Definitely had some cleavage (34dd) but I did not feel exposed at all. Would not be too much for anyone smaller. Definitely recommend!!

Material was very comfortable and the color was brighter than I expected. Consider sizing down, this runs slightly large. I had plenty of room in the bust and waist. A-line skirt was roomy across the hips, as well. Sizing down would have given me a slightly more tailored look I think. You'll likely need a safety pin for the top, not because it pulls across the chest but because it hangs loose and falls open. Safety pin fixed the problem and wasn't noticeable. Skirt hit right below my knee, if i were buying I'd likely have it hemmed to right above my knee so this is great if you are taller but still works for average height. Expect this to hang long if you are short. Overall I'd rent again.

I rented this for work and ended up wearing it on a Friday when I didn't have client meetings. The length felt a tad short for my conservative office environment, even though everyone told me it was fine. I think the ruffles going out and where the seam hit me on my back side made it feel shorter than it really was. It was so comfortable and fun though! Tons of compliment. Would be perfect with tights and the length is no problem for outside work, even with higher heels.

Rent this now. RIGHT NOW. I can't believe I didn't get a photo of this dress but it was amazing! Classic silhouette in an updated print. Light, airy fabric. Comfortable all day. The faux buttons are great for large busts, no worrying about the dreaded "gap." I felt sophisticated and playful and sexy and classic all at the same time. Can definitely go from the office to drinks or dinner. Hem hit right below the knee. Plenty of rooms in the sleeves. Perfect for hour glass figures. Tons of compliments. If you have a smaller bust you might want to size down as a back up.

Great pop of color. The material is extremely comfortable with lots of give. Even though it's lined, it did cling around my bottom and stomach a bit. I didn't wear any shapewear, which would have solved that problem. By the end of the day it did stretch out a little bit and didn't hold its shape as well as I would have liked. Probably to be expected with the type of fabric (some sort of stretch knit). I do sit at a desk most of the day and it wrinkled some around the stomach/thighs. Runs true to size. Great option for those with a larger bust, neckline was very appropriate for work. Lots of compliments on the color.

Great work alternative to the black pencil skirt. My usual size 10 wasn't available so I went with the 8. The fabric has lots of give and while it definitely hugged my curves, the length made it still work appropriate. The 10 probably would have hung a little loser in the back around my bum. I ended up pairing this with a basic black blouse and tights due to an unexpected spring cold snap, but this could easily be worn in cold or warm weather. It's fully lined, which helped smooth things out (especially since I went down a size). The skirt hit my waist in the perfect spot to create an hour glass effect and keep my shirt tucked in, but was still comfortable to sit down in.

This dress was amazing, the print is so fun but still formal enough for a black tie wedding. The full skirt made me feel like a movie star but it was still easy to navigate a full room of people. I'm normally a 10 and this ran true to size even though I ended up sizing up to the 12. I'm a 34dd and needed more room in the chest, otherwise the 10 would have fit. Lots of boning gave the top a lot of support, didn't need a strapless bra. The boning did dig a little bit into my side while sitting. Wasn't a problem while standing. Great strapless option for those with a larger chest. Lots of compliments all night. Also, it has pockets! Length was great, didn't drag on the floor which was nice (I'm 5'7"). Material is thick but I was very comfortable even in the heat in SC in August.

If you've got curves, this is the dress for you! Hugged me in all the right places. Adjustable straps were great for large busts. Ended up wearing a strapless bra for a little extra lift, but could have gone without one. It ran a little big, but not enough to size down. Plenty of room to move and dance. Felt like a million bucks!

Rented for a formal family wedding. Definitely did not need to size up in this dress. Full coverage in the front made it appropriate for taking wedding party photos but the back gave it just enough spice. Didn't need to wear a bra (34 DD). The lining and the thick material did make it a little hot for a June wedding in SC while dancing but overall very comfortable. I'm 5'7" and the length was perfect with three inch heels. Lots of compliments on the color! Really loved this dress.

Great dress. The regular was a little short for my heels, which actually worked out well for an outdoor wedding where it rained. I didn't have to worry about holding the dress up all night. The top was a little tight across the chest, but not uncomfortable. Fabric is sheer which was great for the humidity and the slit gave it an extra bit of sexy without being too revealing. Definitely need a racer back bra or convertible straps with this one. Would absolutely recommend this dress.

I've used RTR successfully before, but this was by far my favorite rental! I wore this for my cousin's wedding in June. and its a classic dress that truly looks great on any body type. I usually wear a 10 these days and can sometimes slip into an 8 if I'm lucky, but this ML runs true to size. I have an hourglass figure (34DD) and this dress provided just the right amount of support to allow me to go bra-less (a rarity), but didn't show too much cleavage. I was around a lot of family and did not feel over exposed at all. I was able to dance all night and stayed in place. The lace is heavier and I was worried it would be too wintery for a summer wedding, but the larger floral pattern kept it appropriate for spring and summer. I paired it with classic nude pumps and a bright earring for a pop of color to keep it light. As many have noted, the zipper can be a bit tricky, just because the material is thick and there's a lot of it gathered at the bustle, but the 10 never felt too small, you just need an extra hand for zipping. The dress is thick and body hugging, so if you're going to be outside when it's hot, you may want to think twice, but I was fine inside. Also, the bustle generally lays pretty flat so it didn't add an extra unflattering volume to my backside. I'm 5'7" and the dress came down past my knees, so smaller steps were required, but still plenty of room for dancing. Amazing dress, didn't want to send it back!

I had a formal event I needed to attend with co-workers and my boss and this dress was perfect! It was so classy and I felt completely comfortable around my boss. It did run a little short. I am 5'7" and I ended up having to wear a very low kitten heel, so I may recommend ordering the long if you are tall or plan to wear taller heels. It was also a little tight under my arm, but my bust is on the larger size so it would probably be fine on anyone else. Overall really happy with this dress!
