Very tight at bust and flattened my bust
No zipper on dress which made it awkward to put on and take off. Flattened my bust awkwardly.

Didn't wear; too tight
Exchanged for larger size which was much more comfortable. Size 6 was too form fitting and made me self conscious.

Held all of my personal effects at my husband's Army OCS Graduation!
Not sure how well it matched the dress I had rented, but this was the mystery bling that was sent. It held everything I need it to and I used it for multiple events around the graduation including the graduation itself. Not my style so not sure I would rent again, but a fun mystery bling item to receive.

Wore this to my husband's graduation from Officer Candidate School!
Length definitely went past my knees, which is not my usual style but was nice & conservative for an Army event. Fabric is on the heavy side, but that worked well for Georgia in late October. Very comfortable; I had this on for about 12 hours between the graduation ceremony, pictures afterward, and then going out for dinner.

Bright pop of color!
Material was too heavy to wear in the heat in Columbus, GA. Ended up just wearing to church in MA. Got lots of compliments on it at church. Would rent again for the fall time-frame and wear with a sweater/shawl if necessary. 8 day rental ended up being almost two weeks because the romper arrived early.

Bonus pair!
I was sent these as a bonus for having my original choice changed. Wore them with my daytime outfit while traveling to a wedding. They were gorgeous, probably a little too dressy for travel, but it was fun to have them nonetheless. Would rent again.

Beautiful deep green color!
Able to wear with a regular bra, although I went with a strapless because the bodice was so tight. Bodice was very tight, especially after eating. Perhaps should have rented a size bigger than what I wore, although I wore the larger of the two sizes that I rented. Didn't love how the skirt puffed out above my hips. Wouldn't rent again, but looked nice for the wedding...and that's the point of renting, I'm not stuck with a dress in my closet that I don't love. Everything went smoothly with RTR, got dress and earrings before event and returning was easy as well.

Would have given this dress five stars if not for zipper breaking as I was getting dressed! Still managed to wear with a sweater to hide the back, which I needed anyway due to the weather at the wedding venue. Very comfy dress, easy to dance in. Would rent again!

Cute dress
Wore to a bridal shower. In hindsight, it was probably a little too on the white side for me not being the bride, but it wasn't a huge deal. Wore the smaller size that I ordered, but it ended up being too short when I sat down. Had to keep tugging at lining each time I sat down and stood up. Wouldn't rent this again, but that's the point of renting and not buying! Great service from RTR per usual.

Not as fitted as I thought it would be.
Didn't end up wearing because the dress was too baggy. Should have ordered a size down from my normal size for backup. I'm not even sure the two would have been as fitted as I wanted. Do not think I will be renting a "shift" dress again.

Perfect for an early spring day wedding!
Had a tough time with sleeves on size 4, so went with size 6 to have more room to move. Wasn't in love with mesh pieces connecting sleeves to rest of dress. RTR was fabulous per usual; dress showed up on time and returning was a breeze. Would rent this dress again for the right occasion.

Very cute, just wish the day was warmer!
Fit well. Wore with a regular nude-colored bra and you couldn't see straps, especially since I had a cardigan on over it. Looked a little too springy as the day of the baby shower ended up being below freezing. Was comfortable inside at shower and sitting at table. Got a lot of compliments on the dress. Would rent again. Everything went smoothly with RTR from delivery to return. Another successful renting experience!

Only ordered one dress and forgot backup size...silly me. Luckily the size four fit. Could have been a little tighter in torso, but I think the shoulders would have been too tight if I had gotten a size smaller. Great for a wedding in the PNW in early October. Wore with knee high boots so that I could stay warm during outdoor cocktail hour.

Fit well, looser in bottom half (perfect if you're eating and moving around). Heavier material than I expected, but that was good as it was chillier the night I wore it. Would rent again if it came in a color other than white.

Hard to zip. No pockets! Not ideal for being in hot sun while opening gifts. Other than that, it was great! Got lots of compliments at my bridal shower. Looked good with the necklace I rented. I wore with flat white gladiator sandals and gold studs.

Very cool necklace, but only matched the original dress I rented, not the alternate I ended up wearing. Wore it around my apartment for a bit. Should have asked to replace the necklace when I was contacted to pick an alternate dress.

Size four fit well. Chose this dress as an alternative after the original one I chose was not available in the two sizes I requested. Glad I got this one because it was what I ended up wearing. Had some issues with my bra peeking out from the armpits; more annoying than anything. Was able to sit easily and eat lunch & open presents in it.

A pop of color!
The six I wore was a little loose, but the four would have been too tight, esepcially for sitting and eating at a bridal shower brunch. The color is a lot brighter than the pictures show (but I had read a lot of reviews which stated the same, so I was somewhat ready for it). I loved that it had clasps under the straps to clip my bra in, but I feel like keeping my bra straps in place forced the neckline to do weird things and the cups of my bra kept popping out of the edge of the neckline. Material is a little heavy, so I wouldn't suggest for an outdoor event, but it was perfect for my event indoors with AC.

Very bright and perfect for Easter!
Tight in chest area, short in the back. Had a hard time sitting down due to length. Felt like 8 would have been too large all over, despite potentially gaining length. Got compliments, but did not feel overly comfortable. Felt like it made my chest one large blob. Was fine for the day, but would not rent again.

I really enjoyed the earrings. Despite being large they weren't too heavy and it didn't bother me to have them on for a few hours. Glad I got to experience a RTR accessory without having to pay. Keep the online deals coming!

Same color as the bridesmaids' dresses...whoops!
I liked the overall fit, but my chest was definitely more exposed than I would have liked. Prior to wearing to the wedding, I wore it to church with my boyfriend's family. Not sure I would do that again. Great service from RTR as usual, and I'm loving the little extras that come with each rental. The earrings were fun too, and I was glad I had a coupon that let me order them with the dress for no additional cost to me.

Neither size fit, so I had to go with a backup dress from my closet!
The four and the two were both too small for me. Luckily I had packed another dress in my bag on a whim, and ended up wearing that to the wedding. Guess I needed a size up after all the fun I have been having over the summer. It was particularly harsh at the underarm area, and in the stomach area, due to the higher waist line.

Got so many compliments, and took the opportunity to tell everyone about RTR!
Ordered a size 4 and size 2. Could have gotten away with the 2, but wouldn't have been comfortable, especially after packing away a delicious lunch after the wedding rehearsal. Didn't love how it looked in all the pictures, thought it made me look like I had a belly, but really liked how it fit and looked in person. Got great freebies from RTR and their partners. Once again, reviews and pictures of real women helped the most in making my decision. Another good experience with RTR!
