Great Formal Option and Oh So Comfy!
Okay I loved this dress! I would honestly wear it not pregnant if I could. I wore this to a black tie optional wedding and was extremely happy with the comfort, size, and formality. I can't recommend this dress enough for a formal event!! I was 39 weeks and 5 days at this wedding so you can definitely wear up until the end of your pregnancy. It ran true to size so I don't think you would have to size up at all.

More Casual but Still Stylish
I was really excited for the dress because I had a black tie optional wedding to attend at 39 weeks & 5 days (I know I'm crazy) so I was hoping the length would cover my swollen ankles and feet. The dress was very comfortable but way too casual for this type of event. It would absolutely work for an outdoor wedding that is much less formal. I understand why so many girls wear it for their baby showers because it is perfect for that!

Really cute dress just not for summer in SC
This dress was adorable but would have probably passed out had I worn in for the wedding I attended. It is thicker material and has boning in it. I would recommend sizing up since the boning really keeps it's shape in this dress.

Great dress for a wedding!
I loved this dress for the 6 pm wedding I had a few weeks ago. I will say one thing about this dress, if you are curvier on the bottom you will have to size up. I am more pear shaped and noticed it was tighter around my hips and butt. I am happy I had this size even though the top was a little loose since I am smaller up top. Really can't recommend it enough though! I received so many compliments and it was a great dress to dance the night away in!

Adorable romper but not for long torsoed girls!
I love rompers but I have been cursed with a long torso which means when I wear a romper it inches up extremely high on me. That being said renting and wearing the bigger size allowed me to still enjoy the outfit with a few more inches of space. The size 4 (my actual size) fit everywhere but was too short in the torso for me to feel comfortable in it. The 6 gave me extra length like I mentioned above. The arms fit snug and I did not have room to lift my arms overhead (not a huge problem but I was out for a bachelorette party where raising the roof can come in handy!) As much as I love rompers, I am starting to think they just don't work for my body shape. I'm 5'5" but I think someone shorter would get more enjoyment out of this romper. I wouldn't rent it again specifically but I would definitely try more rompers because I refuse to let this dream go!

Gorgeous maxi skirt that would light up the night!
I received this skirt since one of my items didn't have the size I wanted. This was more formal than the work party I was attending so I didn't get to wear it. That being said I put it on immediately because it was so beautiful and sparkly! The size was x-small which I don't wear unless something runs big. I would say this definitely runs true to size because I couldn't zip it up all the way. I had about an inch of zipper left so when I order this skirt I will get my actual size. I would highly recommend it for a more formal event. I think you could even get away with wearing it to a wedding!

Most complimented pair of pants I've ever worn!
I was bummed when I received the email that the size Small was unavailable/damaged so RTR would not be sending them with the Medium. There were some reviews that said they ran a little small because of the thicker lining so I crossed my fingers this was true.... sadly it was not. The small would have fit perfectly. I was happy the party I went to for work was more of a sit down dinner because they sagged when I stood. I received compliments from almost every person at the party! They really are a pair of stand out leggings. They do have a thicker lining which kept the sequins from itching me and warm in the chilly Boston streets. I would recommend these for really any fun occasion if you like to stand out and be noticed! I wore with a flowy long sleeve black shirt that covered the waist so you couldn't tell they were too big. I would order again only if I knew the Small would be available.

Great wedding clutch for the essentials!
I dropped the ball on taking pictures at the wedding but I must say this clutch really was quite pretty. The color is more cream/beige than gold but the sparkles give you a little wiggle room if you wanted to go with more gold tones. It fit my phone, ID, lipstick, and I definitely could have fit cash and more cards if I needed them. I love how the clutch stays closed without a clasp or magnet. Really smart!

This dress is an excellent summer dress! It's lightweight & the perfect length for a bridal shower.
I knew in other reviews it was said the dress runs on the bigger size so I normally wear a 4 but ordered a 2 and a 4. The 2 fit perfectly! It didn't become uncomfortable or get deodorant all over the underneath of the arm openings, which is something I cannot stand when the arm holes are cut too high. The length was great for a wedding shower and because the waist is elastic it gives you a little room to play around with the length. I pulled the elastic up a little higher so it sat perfectly at my waist and looped the belt through twice and tied it in the back. There's a seam down the middle of the belt so you couldn't wear it backwards without noticing that. I received numerous compliments on this dress and I would definitely rent it again for another shower. It looked great with gold jewelry and a tan ;) If you are on the shorter side, this dress would end up hitting you at your knees so be aware of the length of it. Other than that it really was a lovely dress for an outdoor summer party!
