I wanted to love this dress. The skirt is beautiful and flowy and technically it fit me really well, but the halter top did not flatter my chest and gave my shoulders an extremely broad appearance. The worst part is the string tie behind the neck. The dress feels very heavy and chaffed the back of my neck terribly even while just trying it on. I couldn’t imagine that for an entire evening so I had to choose something else.

I wore this to a formal winter wedding and it was perfect! The color was beautiful. The material is very flattering and the ruching/bow around the middle distracts from the mommy pooch. I was worried it might be to matronly with the cap sleeves, but the low back and high slit keep it sexy. I’m 5’7 and the length was perfect with heels. Highly recommend!

After scouring the internet for maternity formal gowns and finding nothing appealing, I decided to take a risk on ordering this gown to wear to a black tie wedding. I was 22 weeks pregnant at the time and this dress did a great job serving as a a faux maternity dress. My non pregnant self would have probably worn a size 2, but pregnant me ended up in a 6. The band at the waist was high enough not to interfere with the bump and there was some ruching on the front that was also accommodating. Two things: it runs short! I'm 5'8 and I ordered a long and it still was a bit shorter than I would have liked. Also, it is VERY low cut, but I was able to use a safety pin to close it up a bit. Overall a great dress and I received many compliments.

I was not wearing a veil for my wedding, but needed to add a little bling to my updo. I bought a few reasonably priced things on Amazon, but ended tossing them asap because they were such poor quality! In comes RTR to save the day! I received this comb for my trial and immediately loved it! It arrives kind of scrunched up so you need to open up some of the little branches. It is a solid piece of jewelry and you can tell it is of good quality. I wore it all night and it stayed secure even without a pin. I highly recommend this hair comb! It would be nice though if RTR had some kind of deal for renting hair pieces for the trial because I had to pay to rent it twice which is kind of a bummer.

This jacket was perfect for my wedding! It added a unique touch to my dress. It was quite warm as well and it wasn't made of faux fur, but whispy feathers! I received so many compliments on the jacket alone! It does run a bit big though. I wore the small and still felt like I had a lot of space, but you really couldn't tell. There are three clasps down the front to keep it closed. I love this jacket!!

This dress was perfect for my wedding rehearsal. It is made out of a soft, sweater like material and has a nice stretch to it. I usually wear extra small, but it was too tight and short so I went with the small which fit perfectly. I added a skinny belt for a focal point and paired it with black rights and high heel booties. I didn't take any pictures of myself in the dress without my rehearsal bouquet in the way, but it is an adorable dress and I got lots of compliments!

I wore this dress for my bridal shower. I ordered the 2 and the 4 and ended up wearing the 2. It fit me like a glove! The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it does run a bit tight across the shoulders. When I had my arms down at my sides it was great, but when I lifted my arms it didn't really move with me and pulled tight across my bust. Even with the larger size I still noticed this problem. Because I was wearing it just for a day, it wasn't that big of a deal. Overall it was such a pretty dress and I received so many compliments. The necklace I paired with it was also rented: Kate Spade Aqua Geo Necklace.

I rented this dress for a formal interview. It was a perfect summer dress. I liked the full coverage on top on both the front and back, yet it doesn't look super conservative. The material was really soft and flowy and it didn't wrinkle after sitting in it. The only sort of negative aspect was that there was a lot of material in the bust area. I wear a D and it still seemed like a lot of extra. Oh, and I did need to wear a nude cami underneath because the top was a bit too shear. Not really problematic though. The black band fit me perfectly at the waist. I never had to readjust, it fit me perfectly. I even received several compliments from complete strangers on the street! I wish I could buy it!

This dress was PERFECT for the bachelorette party I attended. The size 2 fit like a glove, true to size. The material has a bit of a stretch which makes it comfortable and moves with you without being skin tight. I was worried about the sleeves being tight or restricting, but that was not a problem at all. I got tons of compliments and free drinks ;) Class and style, yet sexy.
