Ruching perfect for a 7+ month bump. I sized up one from my normal small. Elevated casual

Button gaping
Love, Love, Love other Toccin styles. I've rented several with buttons as well. The fabric and cut of this just created some button gaping, even in places that were looser somehow?

Maternity friendly
Size up 1-2 sizes for mid pregnancy & wear slung low. Comfortable and flattering! Debating trying in a 30 when it becomes available, now that my bump is a bit bigger. (I'm typically a 27 or 28). Will definitely rent postpartum as well.

Accommodated a Bump at Work Conference
The adjustable waist tie made this flattering, but if wearing for work, you will have to wear an undershirt, as it hits really low even when tied. It served my purpose and looked good with a blazer and boots, but it was just OKAY for me. I wore this at 22 weeks pregnant and sized up to a medium, but could have worn a small due to the style

Maternity Win
This was great at 21 weeks pregnant, I just sized up from a typical small. Received a lot of compliments and the color is even prettier in person. When not pregnant, I sometimes have to size up in shorter Ronny kobo styles due to length. A couple notes: The dress is tighter at the ankles, so not the easiest to do a lot of walking in, due to being limited on stride length. Also, depending on your chest size, may have to keep adjusting the fold down shoulder

Short & Low
I wanted to like these, and even sized up per other reviews. But they were an awkward crop length on my 5'4" frame, and low enough rise that they didn't look great with many of my tops and didn't feel secure.

Made me look wider than I am
Beautiful dress, pattern, and fabric, but wasn't as flattering on me as I had hoped. It was slightly large in the waist/ under the bust, but there was enough fabric that it made me look wider in photos. I also felt like the bust cups were slightly too short.

Size up for larger chest
Wore for church. This was cute, but hit in a weird spot right below my chest. Also didn't love the midi spot it hit my 5'4" frame on. Usually when reviews say to size up for larger breasts, I don't need to, but this one I would have been better suited in a Medium for how it hit.

Made me look wider
Love Sabina, but felt like this one made me look and feel wider than I am. It was nice for a winter wedding, but not a style I’ll repeat. For was TTS. I think maybe the shoulder pads were too much for me on this one. Color/ metallic is gorgeous though.

Derby Party Fun
If in between sizes and hourglass shaped, I would suggest sizing up. It worked, but was kind of tight on my chest & hips. The chest being the problem area here, kind of smashed my boobs. Also, wrinkles fairly easy. Beautiful fabric & pattern. Everyone at the party loved the dress though!

Pretty, Not great for the heat
There was more fabric here than I anticipated, it was quite hot on vacation (around 80 degrees F). Fully lined. Probably better for spring than summer. Would be cute for a shower or brunch! Very pretty, and the fit was great. I just ended up changing due to being hot

Orange Crush
This was adorable, wore for a floral decorating brunch and received many compliments on it. Giving 4 stars because it wrinkled easily. Fit my frame well, maybe slightly tight in the chest, but not uncomfortable. Length was great, and the puff sleeves weren’t overkill. The back was a great touch, but may be annoying to some that it (intentionally) hangs. I did need to clasp it at the tightest to keep it on my narrow shoulders.

Ronny Kobo Win
Rented this for a trip to Paris. I wore it both buttoned & unbuttoned, both looked elevated. The color and fit were beautiful. The buttons didn’t pull at the chest like some do. I liked it with white pants, but next time I would pair it with white skinny jeans or white shorts- the wide legged pants with the boxy crop made me look wider when it was buttoned.

Runs small, and wasn’t very comfortable. Buttons pulled in the chest & was fitted in the hips/ butt where it shouldn’t have been. Would work better on shapes that aren’t hour glass- maybe athletic builds or petites!

Structured elegance
Loved this one! I wore in Paris with the Great Jones Tweed jacket over it. The bottom was flattering to my hourglass shape, it was fitted, but not too fitted. It had structure that held up well on a long day, but wasn’t too hot or rough. If the midsection is your problem area, it may not be as flattering, as it was fitted in the waist. Compliments galore on this one, and I felt so confident and elegant in it. Simple, but beautiful. Much better in person than online, exceeded my expectations. Still may have to buy this one.

Just Right for the Riviera
Rented this for a trip to the French Riviera. Came NWT, the colors were beautiful, and it reached just above the floor with me wearing sandals. It fit like a dream, but is a lot of fabric (though lightweight). Had to remember to pull it in when entering cars. Challenging part was getting it on. For me, with a 32DD chest & hips, I had to unlace the back pretty loosely & pull over my head. Requires some team work, but worth it!

Not for Booties
I am a pretty consistent size Small (2/4), sometimes even an XS. I am hourglass shaped, with athletic legs. I sized up in this based on reviews, and it was still too tight & short on the bottom. I could zip it, but it just didn’t fit in a way that I would feel comfortable walking around in. The boning at the top was also poking me, not sure if it was due to wear on the specific dress I was sent. It’s a beautiful dress, and the padding/ boning would make it flattering, but avoid if you have much of a butt &/or hips. Love Ronny Kobo, but this one was a miss for me.

Tweed Peefection
Ended up buying this one! It was light enough weight to wear in 70 degree weather, and elevated multiple looks. I have somewhat muscular arms, and the jacket wasn’t too tight, and dresses/ shirts I wore under it didn’t bunch. I wore it with outfits both buttoned & unbuttoned. Great layering piece.

Gorgeous, SIZE UP
This dress is GORGEOUS in person. A true show stopper. I’m small framed & usually can do an XS or S in dresses. Almost always a 2, sometimes a 4. Unfortunately, I rented the 2 (4 wasn’t available). I’m 5’4” & 115-120 lbs. I am a 32DD & I got it to zip, but it was SO tight around the chest that it was uncomfortable & my boobs were smashed down in an unattractive way. Will rent again if/ when I have an event & the 4 is available. If you have large breasts or are wider in the chest, size up!!!

Tastefully Sexy
I wasn’t sure how risqué this dress would be on, but it really was tasteful and classy. The fabric covered my boobs well & I wasn’t worried about a slip or misplacing. The mesh area at the stomach fit at a really flattering spot, and the dress had just enough shape to drape well. My hips are my problem area, but this dress accentuated my hour glass shape without highlighting the “saddle bag” area. One of my ALL TIME fave RTR rentals, will be renting again.

Holiday hot pants
I love these pants! I wore for Christmas Eve with a black body suit & they were perfect. They are lined with a silky material, so you don’t need to worry about the possibility of itchiness. They hit above the bellybutton for me, and were really flattering. They are LONG, they grazed the floor with 4” booties. But with fashion tape &/or high heels should be fine for 5’4” & above. The one complaint I have is that they are a side zip pant, without a top clasp. Be leery when zipping so you don’t snag your top or skin!

Family photo win
Wore this dress for our holiday family photos, and it was perfect! I’m hourglass shaped, and the ruching was really flattering. The “tail” would sway in the wind, which I loved in our photos. I ended up tying around my neck, but as other reviewers have mentioned, it works to tie at the bust in a bow as well for a different look. Loved the colors in this, & overall great fit. I have narrow shoulders and did have to pull a shoulder up every now & then.

Fabric too thin for weight of sequins
I had such high hopes for this gown based on all of the positive reviews. I found it to be ill fitting. At the time of rental, I was 118 lbs, 5’4, 32DD. It ran a bit large (even with lacing in different ways), yet draped on my hips/thighs (saddle bags) in an unflattering way & made me look much larger. It also didn’t accentuate my waist as much as I thought it would. If the base fabric had a bit more weight or structure, it would be great, but in my opinion was too thin for the weight of the sequins. Beautiful dress, but didn’t work for me.

Chilly day Chic
Loved this! Wore this on a cold Chicago night to a Michelin rated restaurant. Not only was it warm, but I could loosen the tie as the night went on. I didn’t find it to be too “sticky” or too warm, but I’m cold natured. I did wear leggings & a tank top under it. I liked that it was fitted in the chest, made it more flattering for me.

Fits like a glove
This is a great Herve. The fabric helps smooth and accentuate curves. I’m usually self conscious about my hip area, but that wasn’t an issue in this dress. I loved the long sleeves, but did have to occasionally pull them up. They are either a touch stretched out or run big. Currently ~ 120 lbs, 5’4”, recommend the small for those with similar dimensions.

Versatile piece
Rented this for work, but also wore to dinner another night. It was classy & flattering. It fit well, but I gave it 4 stars because the buttons gaped when I was seated. If I had sized up, it would have been too big. Just be aware of the buttons when sitting, especially if you have a butt/hips.

The metallic & colors in this are gorgeous. The silhouette was so flattering to my hourglass shape. It is a LOW plunge, so be prepared to safety pin if you are more conservative. I wore with pasties & pinned it slightly since it was for a family wedding, but still left it fairly low. Will rent again for Vegas & not pin. It's gorgeous, received so many compliments on it!

Best for smaller chests
I am a 32 DD, but have narrow shoulders & chest, so usually I can fit things that reviews say aren't for larger breasts. Not the case with this one. The color is great & ruching is so cute, but I couldn't wear it. I think the M would be an awkward fit as well.

Just ok
Rented these for everyday wear. They fit TTS, but the pockets had a weird pulling on one side. As other reviews mention, was very wrinkly, so I was prepared for it. These worked for everyday wear with a mid rise crop, but I wouldn't wear out or rent again.

Ordered this hoping it would be a good business causal piece for work this summer. So tight in the hips, and buttons pulled. If I would have sized up, would have fit weird through chest, shoulders; & waist. Wasn't impressed with the fabric either.

Fabulous & Feminine
Loved this rental, received so many compliments. I do have a larger hips & butt, so it was shorter on me. The medium worked, but if between sizes, definitely size up. If you're worried about length & are hourglass/pear, may need to do 2 sizes up.

Attention Grabber
This dress is adorable- received so many compliments on it. Even more beautiful & flattering in person. I gave it 4 stars because it is LARGE in the chest. I'm a 34DD and it taped so badly that you could see my entire boob from the opposite side. I safety pinned the neck to lessen the extra fabric at the chest, so it worked. I recommend having fabric tape, a safety pin, or sizing down in this.

I rented this for a baby shower I cohosted, and it was a DREAM! The fit was so flattering on my problem area (hips/butt) & the print & fabric were just beautiful. The chest area can accommodate many sizes, because of the tie. HIGHLY recommend this dress, you will love it!
