Weird fit
My order did not arrive in time for me to wear to the wedding I needed it for, but I tried the dress on afterwards just to see how it fit. I am typically a 4 or 6 depending on the brand but know reformation runs small so got the 6 and 8. The 8 was very tight in the midsection (ribs through my waist) so no way I could’ve sized down, but it was also loose in my bust and I would’ve had to tape it down. The biggest issue was it shows every imperfection in your stomach due to the fit and type of material. This would’ve required some major spanx IMO. Anyways likely depends on your body type but wasn’t flattering on me.

Cute but a lot of material
I liked the color and vibe of the dress but there was a lot of extra material that I think made me look a little thicker than I am. But not terrible. The bust fit me perfect so def wouldn’t size down. A fun vacation dress but wouldn’t wear multiple times.

Cute but a bit big
These were OK - I wanted to love them but they were too big around my waist and the buckle situation made me look lumpy/weird. The length, color and fit around my thighs was great so a bummer the waist fit weird. I think a size down might have been too tight around my thighs.

Great light/mid weight jacket
I loved this jacket so much - it matched everything and I wore it a ton. Def should’ve sized down as it’s very oversized but still made it work!

Ok for work
This shirt is fine, I wore it a few times for work but the fit is very boxy and flowy on the bottom so it didn’t look as professional. Maybe better as a cute cover up / shirt for the summer!

Super fun pants
These pants were so fun. Wore them to a few different events. The 6 fit a bit big on me in the waist so probably should’ve rented a 4, but still able to wear them. A bit tricky finding something to wear with them. Ended up wearing body suits both times. But overall loved and would rent again in a smaller size!

Way too big!
The M was way too big on me so didn’t end up wearing. That plus the wide leg looked cartoonish on me. Size down!

Good but not perfect
Love the pattern on this dress but the top did fit oddly on me and I had to tape in a few areas to get it to fall nice (without tape the cowl neck exposes your bra a bit and felt like the straps would fall down). So overall the top was not as comfortable as I would’ve liked. Also felt the dress came up a bit high in the armpit area and in the back which isn’t as flattering on me. But the rest of the dress fit great and it was the perfect length with 2.5 inch heels. The midsection area had some extra fabric and was very flattering on my postpartum body! I wore a size 4.

Great dress!
I typically wear a size 6 but went up at 10 weeks pregnant for a roomier fit. It has a lot of fabric but I loved the flowy feel and floral design.

Loved!
Wore to this a formal birthday party. Unfortunately took no good photos but this was really flattering on me and fit like a glove at 22 weeks. I took the advice in someone else’s review and wrapped the ties into my bra then tied it, and it worked amazing to keep the top portion up all night! That is the only negative of the dress — it might not work for everyone’s chest area. It is also fairly tight but I loved how it looked on me. Definitely recommend for a wedding or formal event!

Really unflattering on me
Made me look really big. Maybe should’ve sized down but fits in a way that the skirt flares out around your bump instead of below it. A lot of extra material.

Way too big
I am usually a M pre-pregnancy and these were really big on me! (Currently 147, 20 weeks). Fit my legs ok but fell off my bump. Big bummer since they are really cute. Never wore. Size down!

Runs huge!!
I rented a medium at about 18 weeks and it was massive on me (150 lbs preggo) Probably better for 3rd trimester.

Cute and comfy vacation dress
I wore this at 23 weeks weeks pregnant (~150 lbs) and it fit perfect! A little long on me (5'5) but wore with wedges. Very comfy and high quality. It was pretty snug in the bust (36D preggo) so might not be best for larger chests.

Very unflattering
I went off the other reviews and ordered a LG (I'm usually a MD) and it was super long on me - both torso and in the arms. Just very unflattering overall, including the style seems matronly not modern. I'm currently a 36D 155 lbs at 28 weeks (was 34C 140 lbs pre pregnancy).

Great LBD
Rented this for a bachelorette party and it was perfect! I rented both the 6 and the 8 and ended up wearing the 8 since it gave me a little more wiggle room. SUPER comfy!!

Classy, comfortable black gown
I loved this dress! It was very comfortable and easy to wear, plus looked super elegant. Ended up wearing the 6 since the 4 hugged my curves/stomach area a bit too tight. Only complaint is that it's pretty long -- even with 3 in heels it was touching the ground.

Fun, stylish dress (but not for the small chested!)
I had to rent this dress last minute from the RTR store outside LA, and this was the best of the limited options at the store. It's a bit edgy/different than my usual wedding guest style so not sure I would've rented it under a different circumstance but ended up loving it!! I got SO many compliments before and after the wedding. However, ** if you are small chested this dress will be huge on top**. I'm a 34B and had to tape down the front of the dress & pin up the top fabric to make it fit my chest. I'm usually a 4/6 so this sizing was correct, just not up top. If you're willing to adjust it at bit, worth it, but keep that in mind when renting.

Amazing dress
Loved this dress!! All the reviews said as much, but I was still on the fence until I put it on. It's super comfortable, and made me feel glamorous all night. Like other reviews, I recommend going up a size if you're bigger chested (shows some cleavage). I wore a strapless bra with it but you could also easily go bra-less. Overall definitely recommend!

Flattering, comfortable dress!
I wore it for an outdoor wedding and felt great all night. The dress is both flattering AND comfortable. I ordered a 4 and a 6, but ended up wearing the 6 because it had a little more room around the chest and arms (the 4 was a bit snug up against my armpits). As other reviewers have said, the material is thick but I wasn't too hot in it. I actually think the thick material made the dress more flattering, since it held everything in nicely. Definitely recommend it!

Fun wedding dress
I was a little nervous ordering a 4 with no back-up size (the 6 was unavailable) but it worked out and the dress fit great! I'm happy I went with a 4 instead of a 6, otherwise I think the shoulders would've fallen off. It was flattering on my body type and super easy to move in / dance in. Definitely recommend!
