Fun & springy
Comfy, lightweight, and a perfect shade of yellow. Was great to wear while pregnant. Make sure to wear skin toned undergarments though, it’s a bit see thru.

Pretty but impractical
I wore this for a maternity shoot. It was really pretty but the second you move your arms, the fabric over the bust slides up to reveal the totally sheer fabric underneath. It still worked well for the shoot but I can imagine wearing this when doing any kind of movement at all

Cute casual dress
I got an XL because I'm pregnant (beginning of 3rd trimester) but honestly I could have worn the L and it would have hugged my curves better. Still a very cute pattern, was great for the office.

Beautiful Black Tie Maternity Dress
I felt like the dancing woman emoji all night! I absolutely loved this dresss. It was very comfortable, stretched to compliment my growing baby bump well, and I was pleased that it worked with a regular bra. I did need to use garment tape to keep the straps up while dancing, but that was an easy fix.

Great Maternity Cocktail Dress
It was so stretchy and comfy. I got a ton of components on it, and it fit my going baby bump well. The slit is high, so wear some sort of shorts or coverage underneath!

Will rent in the future!
I was overly optimistic that this style might fit while I am pregnant. Sadly not the case but I hope to find a reason to rent it in the future, because I loved the style. It looks loose in the photo because I wasn't able to zip the side.

I was overly optimistic that this style might fit while I am pregnant, but sadly I was wrong. I will definitely be renting it in the future because it's super cute, light and comfy. I just couldn't zip it closed with my growing body :-)

Perfect for a January Hawaii Wedding
This dress stayed comfortable even though lots of sweating at a very humid Hawaii wedding. It wasn’t super long, I wore flat sandals. And there was slight gaping at the bottom of the cross at the bust.

Weird top proportions
I wanted to wear this for my engagement shoot. However, maybe it doesn’t size up well for larger bodies. The dress fit well everywhere except for the chest which was too small; the seam at the bottom of the boobs was too high / the cups weren’t large enough.

Comfy, thick fabric
This dress fit well and I loved how the dress felt substantial and not cheap. I ended up not wearing it but only because the other RTR option I had fit the event vibe better. I'll def want to rent this again so I can truly wear it.

Fun that it’s a jumpsuit, top is a little restrictive
Worn for a wedding. I got a lot of compliments on this jumpsuit, which definitely masquerades well as a dress. The keyhole made hiding a strapless bra a bit difficult, and the draped shoulder got in the way when dancing, I ended up pulling them up over my shoulders on the dance floor.

One of my favorite rentals!
I was absolutely in love with this dress. It was so comfortable and fun, great for dancing with the flowy skirt. The bright yellow made it perfect for a Texas ranch spring wedding. I got so many compliments all evening from folks of all ages. The longer tail/back was super flattering but didn't drag on the ground even when I ended up taking my heels off.

Sexy and fun
This dress fit super well and made me feel sexy! I ended up choosing a different dress for the wedding that I rented it for, but only bc the other dress fit the venue/weather better. I 100% will find a reason to rent this dress again so that I can actually wear it.

Loved this dress so much
The dress fit super well, was very comfortable, and was perfect for a spring wedding. I got a lot of compliments and i loved it so much I now want to buy it! I probably could have worn slightly shorter shoes for the 'perfect' length, but it worked just fine with my toes peeking out slightly.

Fun and very comfy
I rented this as an option for a rehearsal dinner. I ended up going with my other option, but still really liked this dress. Roomy, fit well, would have been extremely comfortable.

Comfy and chic
I wore this for a rehearsal dinner. It fit well, and was very comfortable. Only complaint is that the pants were a little short length-wise, given that I wore heels. But not too bad!

Beautiful & formal
This dress fit amazingly! I rented it for a black tie optional wedding. I ended up going with a different option that I was even more in love with, but I liked this one a lot and already have it saved in a list to rent again in the future. The only thing that surprised me was how short the lining was for the skirt, which is sheer enough to be able to see through from close. I would definitely wear either some black tights or black spandex shorts to keep myself safe.

Loved it so much
This dress was beautifully detailed and I got so many compliments. It was a great length & a good fit for a NYE black tie optional wedding. Small complaint: the dress lining was super tight on my hips and stiff, but because it was such a short & thin lining (just below my butt) I just hiked it up to around my torso and the dress was perfectly comfortable.

Beautiful dress
I got a lot of compliments on this dress. The material is really lightweight but hangs well because of the pleats. It was probably a tad too long for me, but I was happy none the less. The zipper was difficult at the waist with all the trim/embroidery, but nothing you couldn't muscle past.

Simple and pretty
This fit me really well & was easy to get on. It was also very comfortable. I needed Hollywood tape to keep my bra hidden, but besides that it was great.

Classy and comfortable
I rented this for a wedding. I ended up choosing another dress because this one was a little too formal/conservative for the event, but I would totally rent this again to wear for a more appropriate event. The fabric was super comfortable too!

Sleek and fun
I got a lot of compliments for this dress. It fit well and the cutouts were sexy but not too revealing. I wore a convertible bra with one strap and used some Hollywood tape to make sure the sleeveless side stayed put. The material was a little cheap/scratchy feeling but you didn't really notice once you had the dress on.

I Want to Buy It!
Body hugging but not tight, this sleek dress was super flattering and very comfortable. I didn't realize from the model photo that it had a mesh back, which I liked. This dress is 99% perfect, the only downside is it's a little short. I wore 2.5/3 inch heels and would have liked it a little longer, so anything taller than that would be tough. Maybe I'd try renting a long next time? But I was still totally in love with the dress.

Pretty Spring Dresss
It was a beautiful dress. I'm not wearing heels in the photo, so it's not super long. The dress basically had no stretch especially at the built-in black belt, so it was very tight. If there were such thing as a size 10.5 it would have been a perfect fit. I also had a some trouble with the zipper right at the point where it crosses the belt. But I would love to rent this again to actually wear it sometime soon, since I ended up not wearing it this time around (the other dress I rented was better for the black tie event I attended)

Great dress, wrong size
This was a replacement dress for a different backup dress that became unavailable right before my rental period. It was a beautiful dress, but since it was in my backup size, it was too big. I think a 10R would have been perfect.
