Unique semi-formal wedding guest dress
This was a perfect dress to wear to a semi-formal wedding. There's no stretch to the dress itself so be aware that you want to order your true size and probably a size up as backup. There were some minor fit issues, like the neckline of the inner dress is lower than it looks in photos and the lace in the back gapes between the hook at the back of the neck and where the zipper ends mid-spine. But overall this is a great dress for spring weddings.

Fun fall/winter mini dress
This dress was great for an early evening cocktail party at a museum. It's true to size (I'm right on the edge between S and M; it was a little snug in the shoulders but fine) and very flattering. It's got cute little beaded tassels on the ends of the wrap ties. Be aware that it's pretty short and also very low-cut. Fashion tape and a deep-v bra are a must. When the first dress arrived, the threaded loop in the hook and eye at the bust was broken and RTR very kindly overnighted me a new one. The new one's hook and eye was in good condition, but to be honest the hook wasn't much of a value-add, it's just a low cut dress. 😂 I still needed the tape to keep it from being too revealing. But still - I'd definitely rent it again and was sad to put it back in the shipping bag!

Amazing fall wedding guest dress
I LOVE this dress. It was totally perfect for a fall wedding. Be aware that there's a lot of room between the medium and the large. The medium was just barely too tight through the zipper and the large was a little too loose. If you think you're between, size up so the dress isn't cutting into your back.

Cute dress with zero stretch
Fun dress for a fall wedding. Be aware this dress is very short and has no stretch so size up to make sure the zipper will close. The 8 was too tight in the zipper. The 10 zipped but then was weirdly too big in the top, so I had to use double stick tape to get it to lay right and not bunch up in the back. Overall, this dress was fine. Not my favorite I've ever rented but still cute and flattering.

Super fun and beautiful dress, perfect for a formal wedding
I loved this dress! It was elegant and I received tons of compliments on it. I wore it at 11 weeks pregnant and there was lots of room in the stomach area of the dress to accommodate my small bump. It's a mostly forgiving dress, except in the back where it zips. There's absolutely no stretch in that area of the dress. If you're on the fence, definitely size up because you don't want the dress cutting into your back and rib cage. I wore the 8R and it was a little bit of a squeeze. You're also going to want some double-sided tape to keep the cups of the dress in place because you don't want to lace the back so tightly that it cuts into your skin. The regular is also very, very long. I wore wedge sandals that were about 5" tall, and so the front hem of the dress just barely fell above the floor. There's a slight train on the back of the dress, so the extra tall shoes kept the back of the dress from being too in the way (although I did get stepped on a few times!).

Comfy knit maternity dress
I wore this dress for a baby shower at 35 weeks. It's plenty roomy for a third trimester belly. It runs a little long, so wedges, heels, or platforms are pretty much required if you're under 5'7". It was super comfortable and effortless. Recommend!

Size down! This shirt is huge!
I rented to wear at 32 weeks pregnant, but the medium was way too big. The shirt is also low-cut, so all of the proportions just looked off with this shirt. I wouldn't recommend renting this prior to the third trimester and sizing down once you hit 30+ weeks.

The medium was huge at 32 weeks
I'm 32 weeks pregnant and rented the medium, to be on the safe side. Unfortunately, this shirt was gigantic, even with my beach ball belly. The fabric is also a satin-y material, so it looked like I showed up to work in my PJs. I wouldn't rent this top again.

Super comfy business casual to business professional pants
These are really glorified leggings, but that's not a bad thing. They're incredibly comfortable and can be dressed up with a suit jacket and pumps for a business professional office or a light sweater and flats for business casual. Definitely recommend these.

Super comfortable maternity maxi
I wore this for my baby shower and it was comfortable and flattering. It's super long though, so I had to wear really tall wedges (4") to compensate for how short I am (5'5") and even then it was just barely the right length.

Stretchy, but true to size
I thought I could size down in this dress because all of the reviews described it as stretchy, but it turned out to be a bit tight. It's a professional work dress and I liked how it looked, but it was the tiniest bit too small. I should have gone with my usual size, despite its stretchiness.

Super comfortable suit separate
This has been my go-to since week 20 of pregnancy. It's comfortable, professional, and pairs well with blazers and jackets for my business professional office. Definitely worth renting over and over.

Comfy work pants, but too big
These pants are comfy, slim-cut pants appropriate for a business professional office. However, they run a bit big, both in size and length. I'm typically a size 6 and 22 weeks along. I rented these in medium, but spent all day hiking these back up over my belly. While I might "grow" into these later in my pregnancy, the other problem is that the legs are quite long even when wearing heels, which is a problem for someone who's 5'5". I had to carefully fold the bottom cuffs two times over just to get the pants to be the right length.

Adorable work dress
I loved how cute this dress is. My only (very slight) complaint is that the back of the dress from shoulders to mid-rib cage is actually a stretchy knit instead of the tweed. I thought that made the dress look a little cheap, but if you're wearing it with a jacket or have long hair, it's not super noticeable. It's still a cute, comfy dress and I'd definitely rent it again.

Just okay work dress; good under suit jacket
The fabric is super stretchy, which may come in handy in the last 10 weeks of pregnancy but it was too big in the middle of the second trimester. The dress is just okay - nothing about it makes it maternity-specific, other than that it's got plenty of space and stretch.

Great maternity work dress; really highlights your cute little bump!
This dress is a bit weirdly sized. I wore a 2 when I definitely wear a 6 or 8. The sleeves felt a bit tight at first, but everything else fit the right way. The fabric is a little heavier so this is great for fall - mid-spring and looked really cute with black tights.
