Flattering and forgiving!
I am normally around a size 6 but that size wasn’t available so I got a 4 with an 8 as backup. Since this runs slightly larger, the 4 worked! It’s forgiving on the stomach/hips area (my “mom pouch” wasn’t visible) and the neck wasn’t too tight or anything. Really liked this dress!

Bump-friendly, perfect color to attend a spring wedding
I was nervous to rent a dress for our friend's wedding being 6 months pregnant, but I'm so happy I did! This was a great, flowy dress that fit pretty true to size. I liked that it was kind of stretchy and paired well with silver or gold accessories. The only thing I didn't love was you couldn't wear a bra and you could see the outline of the slip lining. Loved the color and the length, too! I would rent this again not pregnant.

Wedding Weekend Memories
I rented this for a wedding my husband was in, which happened to fall on our 1 year wedding anniversary weekend. This dress reminded me of my wedding dress with the lace, shoulder detail and the back cut-out so it was perfect for the occasion. I was nervous I'd need to wear spanx or a bra, but didn't need either because the dress hid everything! I used silicone stickies in place of a bra just in case, though. I'm 5'1" and it it right above my knees and was slimming through my hips. It didn't really have a stretchy material, but it wasn't constricting. The color was awesome! I thought it might've been a little bright, but in person, and pictures, it was a deep red-ish burgundy. I wish I owned this dress! Got a ton of compliments all night.

Lacy Love!
I rented this as the backup dress for a wedding we went to on my 30th birthday (double the meaning!). As soon as I tried this on, I knew it was the one I'd wear. It fit PERFECT! I loved that the lining underneath was stretchy, yet tight (like wearing spanx but more comfortable) and made the dress lay perfectly. I'm 5'1" and the length was perfect above my knees. Very good quality... i loved this dress so much and got so many amazing compliments that I wish I owned it!! Thanks RTR!

Ivory Perfection!
This dress was absolutely beautiful in person, even better than the picture on the website. It does run big, so an XS actually fit really well. The adjustable straps really came into play well, although the dress was kind of long (but, everything is long on me :) I'm only 5'1"). Wore this for my wedding rehearsal. Everyone said it looked like I could've worn it to the actual wedding! Super comfy, awesome ivory color and really shows well in pictures. I wish I owned this dress!

Bachelorette Party fun!
I rented this for my Bachelorette Party at beach! All of the reviews were pretty true... the dress runs small (go a size up), it's more fitting through the hips and bigger on top so if you're sizing up, be sure to have a good bra if your top seems to slip down, the sequins can be irritating, but did not bother me too much. The dress has a tendency to ride up quite a bit, but the material is stretchy so that helps. Everyone loved it and I got a ton of complements! Worth renting, I'd say :)

Beautiful ivory brocade!
I rented this dress for my bridal shower. In person, it's more ivory and beige than white, but it photographs so well!! I received a ton of compliments and felt like a million bucks wearing it. The straps were just a tad too big, but it wasn't a huge issue. I opted for no strapless bra, although the dress does allow for strapless or regular. I highly recommend it!

Great in theory...
I had really high hopes for this new dress rental option for my engagement party. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the experience. I really loved the color, and how small the sequins were. Made it feel less "flashy" yet still shiny. I wore it with nude heels. I normally wear a size 2-4 and had to wear the backup size (size 42 - or US size 6) even with Spanx, so I think this dress runs small. I am 5'1' about 123lbs, full B/small C cup, 27 waist. It was tighter in the hips, and although it was a stretchy material, it was super thick, hot, and heavy in weight. I also thought the dress lacked a shape and wasn't very flattering on my body shape. Also, the black lining would hang out of the neck area nonstop, despite pulling down fabric. Looks great on the model :) just not great on my body. Got compliments throughout the night, though!

Wedding Ceremony dress
I wore this to the ceremony portion of a wedding, and got lots of compliments! The color was more of a darker green-ish in person, and has the tendency to be a little see through. Be sure to wear more skin colored under garments, as my "nude" strapless bra/underwear could be seen. Very comfy and flowy and paired great with silver jewelry and nude heels. The length was to my knees (I'm 5'1") so it wasn't too short for a Catholic Mass :)

Too small :(
Unfortunately, this dress runs small/isn't stretchy at all, and I was not aware of that and therefore couldn't wear it :( (I'm normally a size 2-4 at BCBG) But! It's even better looking in person and I loved it. Will have to rent this again, in a bigger size, in the future :)
