Perfect fit
I rented the MR and LR. I could've worn either size. I usually have trouble fitting my larger waist so I tried the large first. It fit well but the bust was a little too loose. Thankfully the medium also fit my midsection since the fabric gives decent stretch, and the top fit perfectly. The overall fit was very flattering, especially forgiving on the arms and waist. Loved this for my 5 month postpartum body that I was scared to dress. Turns out there was nothing to be afraid of!

Compliments all night! Favorite ever RTR!
Rented for #blacktie #wedding. This was my favorite rental ever from RTR. The lace detail was so beautiful, a tiny bit see-through but does not feel too revealing. I️ did not wear a bra - I️ am smaller chested, it comes with substantial padding. Wearing a bra would've shown through the lacy parts. I️ wore sensible 2-3" heels and I️ am 5'5". Love how flowy it is and the side slit. I️ wish I️ could have kept this dress. I️ definitely recommend it!!

Good fit
Rented as my backup style. Fit well but I️ have a smaller chest and would've been pulling it up occasionally. Would rent again if I️ required a black dress!

Effortless
Medium and large fit similarly. Loved the shape, super comfortable. Your belly stays totally hidden under the shift shape. Shows off a lot of leg which is fun. Definitely my favorite rental thus far!

Stylish!
Felt very stylish in this dress, received lots of compliments! The Medium and Large fit very similarly. The Medium puckered just a bit in the lower back so I went with the Large.

Cute and comfortable
I don't have a well-defined waist so the Medium was a little too snug where the zipper is in the back. The Large fit very well. The open low back is cute and the dress has pockets! I wore a strapless bra and it did not show. I have a smaller bust but since the dress had adjustable straps, the large fit fine on top. It was a great choice!

Statement dress
This was a backup style and I didn't end up wearing it, but it was gorgeous. It was pretty snug in the waist but I was able to zip it. It makes more of a statement than I expected - it is very bright and the high-low makes it quite short in the front. The only reason I went with a different dress (Erin Fetherson mint mosaic) is because the mint was more comfortable and flowy. Also, I enjoy flats and this dress style requires a heel. Definitely would order this dress again the next time I want to make an entrance.

First rental - positive experience
I was worried the regular-length dress would be too long, but it was just right. I am 5'5" and the wedges I wore were under 2". I loved the color and the skirt. The bodice was a little flimsy - reminded me of an ace bandage-like material, which meant it required fashion tape. Without the tape, it would've been very easy to accidentally flip down the top of the bodice. Overall it was a successful first rental!
