Nice color and style

I ordered this in XS and S, since I've found that I usually fit much better in XS, even though I'm 8 months pregnant. I was a little surprised that the XS was tight at the arm openings, which is why I ended up wearing the S. The fit was nice, but it was quite short (without the baby bump it would have been longer, obviously). I loved the vibrant royal blue color, and the one-shoulder style.

Petite, simple pair of earrings

These are not a "wow" set of earrings, but they are very classic and pretty and complement bolder jewelry when you want just a little something on the ear.

Pretty, lady-like, vintage-looking bracelet

This is an understated little bracelet, but I just wanted a little sparkle on the wrist since the dress I wore it with (my own) was sparkly enough on its own. I didn't have any issues with the clasp. Keep in mind that the metal is deeper in color than a typical white metal, which makes it look slightly antiqued.

Comfortable and roomy, but a little sheer and some fit issues

I wore this in XS at almost 31 weeks pregnant, which gives you an idea of how generously this dress is cut. The S was a back-up but it was too loose on the top. I was happy overall with this pick, but the back of the dress was oddly much shorter than the front, even with my huge baby bump, so I found myself needing to tug down the back hem periodically. As many other reviewers mentioned, the length is a little short and the material is a little see-through.

Pretty, but too heavy so I didn't end up wearing them

I ordered these earrings to wear with the Tracy Reese Honey Jacquard Dress. They're very pretty, but they were heavier than I had expected, so I didn't wear them. I just wore a pair of earrings I already owned, which ended up being fine. If you have a higher tolerance for heavier earrings, or won't be wearing them all day, I would recommend them.

Perfect for a June commencement!

I rented it for my husband's graduation from medical school, and I was 19w5d pregnant at the time of wearing it. Because the waist is a little high, and the skirt is very full, I was still able to wear it in a size 0 (though I ordered the 2 as a back-up). The pattern and texture might not be for everyone -- it is almost upholstery-like, if that makes sense -- but I thought it was flattering and skimmed over my belly nicely, and the length was great too.

Floral and flowy

I really liked the way this dress looked online. When I put it on, I thought I was going to dislocate my shoulder because it was so hard to get on! This style of dress, with zero stretch and a fitted, crisscross back top, would greatly benefit from a little zipper (especially since I'm almost 4.5 months pregnant). Once I got it on, with the help of my husband, the rest of it was fine. The front, like others have commented, is very short but I kept it somewhat closed with a safety pin. I also needed some fashion tape to keep part of the top from gaping. Overall, I liked this pretty dress, but wasn't entirely comfortable in it.

Comfortable and loose around a pregnant belly!

I rented this for a museum gala at almost 4.5 months pregnant. It doesn't have any zipper or closures but wasn't difficult to pull on. I liked the waist detail with gathering and tassel tie. The length was also nice at the knee, though the asymmetrical lining was a little short.

Sparkly and fun

Like a lot of the reviewers stated, this skirt was pretty short, but I think the model photo is a fairly accurate representation, as long as you wear the right size (one size larger). I ordered both the XS and the S, and wore the S because the XS would have been too tight. The S was a little loose around the waist -- there isn't really a waistband, which I would have liked -- but otherwise fit fine. I recommend getting the size you think you would be, and the size above that, which is the one you will probably end up wearing. I wore it with an ivory blouse and nude patent heels. This skirt would be a lot of fun for a bachelorette party, birthday party, or New Year's Eve.

Unique statement necklace

I ordered this to wear with a Kate Spade dress from RTR, and I liked the necklace much more than the dress on me! I feel like this necklace is a little more earthy than most Kate Spade jewelry, but the mix of blue/black/gold tones and cord made it interesting and versatile, and it was comfortable.

Wasn't flattering on me

This dress was cute, but it just wasn't as flattering on me as other RTR choices. I only ordered a 2 because 0 wasn't available (past rentals, the 0 fit better), but it fit fine. I don't know if it was the style or the material, or the amount of fabric, but it made me look bigger. The pockets were nice though, and the dress is good if you want a comfortable, sporty look.

Gorgeous color, and wrinkling not an issue

This dress is really comfortable, since it's loose and flowy below the waist. The arms were a bit tight, but otherwise this dress fit really well and the length on me was neither too long nor too short (it fell a little closer to the knee compared to the model photo, since I'm shorter). The color was more vibrant in person, and the draping across the bust (and back) was a unique detail. I found that I liked the look better when I tucked in the extra fabric across the front, but that might not be an issue for fuller-figured women. Overall, I really liked this dress and I received lots of compliments.

Fitted, fun, floral!

I ordered a 0 and a 2, since my usual size is 2 but with dresses I often can wear a 0 (especially if strapless since I'm narrower/smaller on top), but I was really concerned that I wouldn't be able to fit into the 2 after reading some of the reviews. It turned out that although both fit, the 0 looked better since it was more fitted to my body and less bunchy around the waist. This dress is very pretty and ladylike, modest in length (it hit below my knees) but not too conservative due to the fit and fun floral print. The background color is a dark midnight blue, and the flowers are sort of a tomato red, white, and light blue, with touches of green leaves. The fabric is cotton with a brushed finish, which keeps it from being very fancy or fussy. I wore the dress with nude patent peeptoe platforms, a metallic champagne clutch, a clear crystal and gold tone J. Crew bracelet, and simple round sapphire/gold earrings. (Spanx aren't necessary but my husband said they improved the look, haha. Just hike them up a bit because the slit in the back is a little high.)

Would be great for a birthday/bachelorette/NYE's party...

I rented this dress for an evening wedding, but when I received it and tried it on (it's not tight so the 0 and 2 fit pretty similarly), it seemed a little too short and sequin-y for the occasion so I ended up returning it. But I would definitely rent it again, just for a different type of event!

Pretty floral dress for a semi-formal wedding

This is a nice almost-strapless-style dress with a one-shoulder wrap overlay in cool purple tones and various complementary colors. Most of the time, my dress size is a 2, but after reading the fit notes, I ordered a 0 and a 2 -- strapless-style dresses tend to need to be a little more fitted since I'm smaller on top -- and the 0 worked better on me than the 2. I thought it was the perfect dress to wear to a March wedding, when spring was just coming around. It was very comfortable and the length hit above the knee.
