I LOVED this dress. It was so beautiful and so flattering. Didn't want to take it off.
This dress was incredibly comfortable and beautiful. I had been worried about other post-ers reviews about the ribcage being too tight, but it was just fine if you didn't snap the snap :) I truly LOVED this dress. It felt good to wear. It was formal but not too fancy where you didn't look like yourself or it looked like you were trying too hard. I pinned the shoulder sash a bit tighter because after many uses, it needed a little more love (otherwise it bunched in some weird places or looked too loose) but all it took was one tiny safety pin and it was perfect! I'm 5'5 and wore 3 inch heels, the Regular length was perfect. If you are a bit bustier, the sheer black sash is perfect bc it hides the cleavage that the tighter ribcage bumps up, lol. Having the blach sash there helps keep the dress appropriate and mindful, while still being a big sexy. Huge 2 thumbs up. I may rent it again for my holiday party!

Tulle To Lace Gown

Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4

Beautiful color! Truly truly gorgeous blue. Very light weight
I selected this dress bc it was very similar to my wedding dress in the soft sweetheart drop waist top and then soft tulle skirt. It really helps define a woman's body in a sophisticated way. However, because this dress doesn't have a corset, it just kinda hung. It's a heavy dress and it pulls down a bit since it's not anchored on anything. After being zipped up, it just kinda sits and adds about an inch to your waist and doesn't help define your curves. I would definitely size down with this dress. It was extremely pretty still and I had a lot of compliments but just wasn't quite right. (sorry for the washed out picture, the flash was horrible!!!)

Awesome color! Super comfortable
I love this dress! It's casual while being dressy at the same time. The color is fantastic, it's a great yellow. It's super comfortable to wear. The boning helps the dress lay well. It's flowy and really interesting to look at. One of the easiest dresses to just put on and go. If I had to give one negative is that it is a bit see through. I wore nude spanx underneath it which took care of the problem. Not a big deal but definitely good to know ahead of time - no black underwear allowed!

Yellow Peacock Chiffon Dress

Neckline cut wrong - not worth the hasle
There are many other phenomenal dresses to rent with RTR; I wouldn't waste my time with this one. It looks little more grandma/matronly when it arrives then it does in the picture; the fabric looks knit. The purple photographs beautiful but is not the same true to form. All the other girls had it right when describing how the neck and the wrap of the dress doesn't come together well. You'll be adjusting it all through the night and those who are more modest will feel uncomfortable. When you tighten the ties, it disforms the dress so although the V is tighter, the rest of the dress is misshapen. I tried 2 different sizes to see if that helped and it didn't. It's not worth the hassle of trying to make it worth. Find another dress that you love and is easy to wear!

Candy Swirl Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"

Bust: 32D
Fabric feels weird but color is great
This is definitely more of a bridesmaid dress feel to it. I thought it was closer to a sundress. Renters beware a sunny day in this dress! It doesn't really breathe and the material definitely feels like a bridesmaid dress. It's not relaxed enough for a summer day but not formal enough for an evening party. It's a weird place in the middle. Pluses are the color is great and the fit is great. I wore 3.5 inch heels and it touched the floor a little, but nothing unmanageable. Would definitely not work for flats or sandals unless you are 5'9+. Not the greatest but not the worst. Just no "zazz" to this dress.

Great dress! Felt good to wear. Easiest thing to put on and go!
Wore it for my Engagement Photo session and loved how easy this dress was to wear. The color is fantastic!! Only down side is that it is definitely "billowy" so your angles from the side are important to consider for any formal photos being taken. Other than that, I truly love this dress!

Fabulous color!!!
I got this for my bridal shower and unfortunately the size I wanted was destroyed by the previous Renter (c'mon ladies, be nice to the dresses!!) so it didn't come in my size. This one was a little too big so I didn't end up wearing it but it is truly a beautiful dress. The colors are absolutely fantastic. The belt helps cinch the waist so it can subtly show off your figure. I think sizing down is a good idea. Perfect for a shower, outdoor wedding, picnic, night on the town. Nude heels are perfect with this to show off the legs.

Okay. Not for big busted ladies. Cutesy
I wanted something fun for my bridal shower and this just didn't cut it. The other reviewers are correct, this is a little much if you have a big bust. It just sits too low. If you're going to Vegas, that's one thing, for a bridal shower, it's a little too much for family, lol. It's cute and flouncy. Probably great for a party out?

SUPER heavy material. Felt like an old victorian dress. Way too long. Dowdy
Strongly dislike. It's truly dowdy and heavy. They sent this instead of the dress I truly wanted after another Renter (c'mon guys!) completely trashed the dress that as supposed to come. This would have been for my bridal shower and it was just plain bad. Do not recommend at all.

Great colors!
I didn't end up wearing this to the wedding I was attending but this is a great dress! The dark charcoal gray and blood orange colors looked amazing! Like the other reviewers, it is definitely a heavier fabric which is why I ended up not wearing it to the outdoor wedding. But this is such a cute cut. The fabric is rich and very high quality. You'll need to wear a clip at the back of your bra to pull the straps in so they don't show but very easy to solve. Great dress and I would have worn it to another event if I had time!

Perfect for a summer wedding! It's breezy and comfortable!
This dress is absolutely fantastic! The colors are vibrant and it's made out of a great material. I got the regular small and it just hit the floor with 3 inch heels. It was perfect. The gold chain accentuates the dress nicely and I just wore a simple chunky gold bracelet and was done. Effortless. You definitely need to wear pasties with this dress. The material is thin enough that you don't want anything "peeping" out if there's a chill in the air or as nighttime comes! You could wear a bra but I think the pasties are the best solution bc you don't want to show any lines or straps. The peephole may be too big for some but it was okay for me bc the dress was very loose, it didn't pull across my chest (32D). Those who are uncomfortable can easily pin it smaller without messing up the look of the dress. Overall I LOVED this dress. I'll probably try to buy it at some point. This is a great and comfortable find!!!
