Flattering and fun wedding dress
Wore this to a friend’s winter wedding and felt great all night. The fabric is thick and luxury-feeling, and the fit is super flattering, though if you have a larger chest, you need to be comfortable showing some cleavage. The skirt is so fun and great for twirling on the dance floor. Fantastic rental.

Unique and elegant dress
Stunning dress. Wore this to a fundraising gala and felt fantastic all night. The fabric hangs beautifully, the colors are jewel-toned and rich, and the pattern is eye-catching. Fit true to size for me and was very flattering and easy to wear. The back is totally open (there is a little button you can use to partially close it) so I wore a stick-on backless bra. One of my favorite rentals ever — thought seriously about buying it.

Perfectly tailored dress in a smart, crisp fabric. The neckline is a bit revealing, but I just wore a cami underneath.

Great jeans for tall women
Loved these so much I bought them! They are very long (perfect for me with a modest heel, and I’m 5’11”!)— probably too short if you’re under 5’8”ish. I’ve dressed up for the office and worn on weekend.

Odd fit and very loud print
I wanted to like this but the fit was large and off for me. The print is cool but felt too loud for my office. Didn’t end up wearing.

This is a very basic, thin turtleneck. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special. I didn’t end up wearing.

Enormous
This was enormous, even in third trimester. No shape and very unflattering. Really bizarre fit as compared to the brown version of the dress, which was wayyyy too small even though they were supposedly the same size. Not sure what the deal was, but disappointed because seemed like they could be really cute.

Super comfy but flattering maternity option
Loved this sweater. I wore it several times a week, both around the house and out running errands. Worked as a warm outer layer on a few crisp autumn days. Flattering and versatile maternity option.

This fit well and was flattering at 32 weeks but was ready to tear it off by the end of the night because it got so itchy.

Gorgeous dress for third trimester
Wore this at 29 weeks and it was by far my favorite dress I wore while pregnant. Vibrant colors, sexy, and very comfortable. I wish I owned it!

I wore this to a semi-formal event while 20 weeks pregnant. Fabric is stretchy, so it fit perfectly over my growing bump. Beautiful, versatile dress!

Nice jumpsuit, but too short in the crotch if you're tall. I ended up not being able to wear it at all.

Great pregnancy option; could be dressed up or down
Rented this for a special date night with my husband while 27 weeks pregnant. Shows a lot of cleavage, but as long as you're comfortable with that, it looks fantastic. Super comfortable and flowing elsewhere with adjustable straps. I felt great all night!

Rented this for my bachelorette. It was actually a back-up after my initial choice became unavailable. I felt great in it and got tons of compliments. I'm a 2/4 and wore a 4; it was snug but comfortable.

Pretty, but different than appears in photos
I rented this cuff to wear to a formal event (along with my dress from RTR). It's very pretty, but I thought the pictures online looked much different than the actual bracelet. It wasn't as shiny and there are no jewels or anything, just etching in the gold. But, though it looks much plainer up close, it still looked fabulous as part of my outfit. Would rent again!

Elegant but fun formal dress
Wore this to a holiday work party. It was easy and comfortable to wear, and the bow really made it stand out from the other LBDs. Length was perfect for me as well (I'm tall, so I worry about this when I rent) -- short enough to show some leg, but long enough to still be appropriate at a work event. As some of the other reviews mentioned, I definitely noticed some wear in the dress (the layers of fabric on the body didn't lie flat in a few places, the bow fell flat), but I expected this and it didn't impact the overall look. I wore it with the gold bracelet cuff shown on the model and simple gold earrings. Overall, I highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful, fun dress - received a ton of compliments!
I wore this to a grad school formal event. The color was perfect and I loved the textured fabric. The fit was good too - I never had any problems with it falling down even though I was doing a lot of dancing. The only reason I took a star off is that the size 4 dress they shipped me had a tear in the back which essentially extended the slit up to a point wear the dress was no longer wearable. Thankfully I ended up wearing the larger size, so it didn't matter. Also, the fabric was slightly worn looking, but you really couldn't tell unless you were up close, and I guess that's what you get for wearing a used dress. Overall, great first experience with RTR!
