Great at 37 weeks!
Wore this dress to a wedding at 37 weeks. The arms were a bit tight, but nothing terrible. I also couldn't tell if the fabric under the sleeves was supposed to pop out at my wrists like it did, but it didn't look bad either way. I thought the dress made me look larger from the back and side, but it looked great from the front for pictures. Got a lot of compliments and it was stretchy - easy to dance in and plenty of room for eating delicious wedding food. I wore flats, but might be a bit short if you wore heels.

Great with a baby bump!
This dress is super cute and stretchy - perfect for a second trimester baby bump. It’s comfortable and you can dress it up or down.

Very long!
The dress fit perfectly, but was very long. I wore flats, and it was dragging. The 4 would have been too tight around my rib cage, so if you're in between sizes, I would size up and get the petite size so it's not so long... I bet high heels would make it just fine.

Can dress up or down
I read the other reviews and went with the 2, even though I don't wear a 2 in anything. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6. It fit perfectly, maybe a little tight around my butt/thighs, but it's a stretchy material and very comfortable. The open slit was pretty high, but it worked for a beach vacation. Shoulder straps are also adjustable.

Soft and comfortable
This dress was perfect to travel in. I wore a tank top underneath, because it gapes open. I also pinned the bottom together because when the wind blew it would fly up. Otherwise, very comfortable and cute.

Perfect for a tropical vacation!
Loved this outfit! I rented this skirt, along with the matching top. The top fit great.. there wasn't a smaller size available in the skirt, but I would have liked it to sit a bit higher on my waist.

Interviewed Jay Shetty in front of 6,000 people in this dress. There were two highlights... Jay and my dress!! Literally everyone came up to me afterward asking where I got it. It was lightweight, comfortable, and I wore it all day and night. It's a great color and very flattering. Rent this dress!

Showstopper
I rented this for my bridal shower and everyone loved it... some said I could have worn it to the wedding! I am 5"5 and 135 lbs and the size 6 was skin tight. I had to take the whole thing off to use the bathroom and it was hard to walk up steps/get into a car. It's great if you plan on standing for just a few hours. The puffy sleeves were a bit much for me so I had someone pin them down. It photographs well, but I couldn't wait to take it off at the end of the day.

Vibrant colors
The dress looks great in pictures, but it's not the best. I'm 5'5 and 130 lbs and wear a 4 or 6 in RTR clothes... I rented a 4 based on other reviews saying it's very long. I felt like the top part was snug and made my fat/skin pop out of the cutouts. The dress is so long that I wore my tallest wedges with it, and it still dragged on the floor.

Comfy and cute!
I can wear a 4 or 6 in most RTR clothes, and the 4 was perfect! Jumpsuits make me nervous because they are usually tight around my butt and thighs. This one was not tight at all and fit perfectly! I wore flats and it barely touched the floor (I'm 5'5) so if you're tall.. it might be too short with heels!

Sexy dress
This dress is skin tight. Any smaller and I wouldn't have been able to zip it. It wasn't uncomfortable but I only wore it for a couple hours to dinner and drinks. Pairs well with high boots. Definitely not for someone who doesn't like tight fitted dresses.

Such an amazing dress!!
This is one of the best dresses I've rented and I've been using this service for years. The 4R was perfect -- perfect length (just grazed the floor) and the extremely comfortable (I'm 5'5, 130lbs, wore 2.5 inch heels.. which you could see just my toes in this dress). The mesh/nude side is such a sexy addition to an otherwise conservative dress. The open side part does dip low so be careful your underwear doesn't peek through. The material is amazing and the detail at the top looks great in person and pictures. It was very flattering and I felt like a million bucks.

Great pattern
I said true to size only because half is too big and half is too tight. The top/stomach portion was loose, and the butt/thigh area made it hard to walk. I also had to take the whole dress off to use the bathroom. The cutouts are a sexy touch to an otherwise conservative dress. Fine to rent, would never own a dress with the fit so off.

I probably would have taken a 6 in this, but the 4 was fine. It fit like a glove and I love the cutout in the front. The pattern is great and perfect for a summer outing or vacation.

Weird fit - poofs out
The dress itself would be fine if it weren't for the waist area. It poofs out and makes you look larger than you are. I didn't like the fit at all and almost didn't wear it. I decided to because the color and print designs are nice and I didn't have time to swap it out before my vacation. Would probably look fine on women with no curves.

Awesome dress
I'm a huge Yumi Kim fan, and this dress didn't disappoint. I wore 3" heels and they were perfect with the length of the dress (I'm 5'5). It was form fitting but not too tight. Love the racer back. Gorgeous floral design. Slit on one leg goes up the thigh.

Comfy and classy
There were no reviews for this dress when I rented it, so I sized up. It's very stretchy material and extremely comfortable. It's not tight around the arms like some dresses with these types of sleeves. I definitely could have worn the 4, but 6 looked just fine. Great for work, easy to be in for hours! Makes you look very put together.

RUNS VERY SMALL!!
I'm glad I read the other reviews before renting. I meant to get a picture but I sent it back before I remembered. I am a size 4 and wore the 8! I don't wear an 8 in anything and the 8 was fitted. It's a great dress, but size up 2 sizes, and it's short. The neck part that's tucked under flips up a lot too and it's kinda annoying.

Unique romper
This romper is fabulous, but not the best for my body type. I'm a pear shape and I felt like it made my butt and thighs look bigger. If you're tall and skinny, this would look amazing. I can wear a 4 or 6, and the 6 was as small as I could go. A 4 would have been too short, and the neck was basically choking me when I sat in the 6. The body part fit fine, but in pictures it wasn't the most flattering. It's a great looking romper, but I probably wouldn't rent again.

I wore this for a work holiday party and got so many compliments. Like the other reviewers said, it is tight, but stretches to get it on. I probably would have sized up if they had it available, but the 40 was fine and was comfortable all night.

Amazing dress
This dress was perfect! It hit right above the floor with 2 inch heels and was great to dance in. I thought the slits on the side and open back were sexy but not over the top. Looked great in pictures. Didn't need a bra and the material is stretchy and comfortable.

This is one of my favorite RTR dresses I've ever rented. The material is soft, flattering, and forgiving. The open slits at the shoulders shows just enough skin, but the dress is classy still. Can wear with leggings/tights and boots, too!

I rented a medium, but I think the small would have been better. It looked fine, but the back is open and the opening juts out. It didn't lay flat on my back. The material is beautiful and the color really stands out in pictures.

Awesome jumpsuit
I was on the fence on what size to get based on the other reviews. The waist band is the only thing that fit normally when I wore the six. It was huge around my boobs and chest and huge around my butt and thighs -- none of which are small. I would have preferred the 4, but I can see why others say it would be tight in the waistband area. I still think it would have been fine, because the 6 waistband wasn't too tight. It's an amazing outfit, but it's definitely large everywhere besides that one spot. Had to wear a padded strapless bra to make it stay up! The bottom hits you right around your ankles. Got one million compliments!!

Colorful, fun dress
I can wear a 4 or 6 and the 6 was wearable but large. The 4 would have been much better, as the back strap was hanging off me. Regardless, it was super cute and looked great. It's on the shorter side, but nothing too crazy.

I'm in between a 4 and 6, and the 6 was great. Any smaller and it would give you serious camel toe. It zips up in the back and tough to get on and off yourself. Very comfortable and looks great.

Very heavy!!
I wore these earrings for Gator game day and they are huge! I was going for a dramatic look, so if you're looking for something small, these are not for you. The gold circle is very large and they hang low. My ear lobes were killing me by the end of the day, but they looked so good! If you don't have a high tolerance for pain, don't get these... or only wear for a short period of time.

Loved this dress, but it was a little too loose around my butt and leg area and tighter around the arms. The 4 probably would have made it difficult to raise my arms. Otherwise, it fit nicely.

This dress is super cute. I would get the 4 if I rented it again, but the 6 was comfortable. It's a great material for a hot day, and it wasn't too short. The sleeves almost reach the end of your shoulders, so it does provide more coverage for work.

I'm a huge Yumi Kim fan, and this dress was no exception. It's soft, flowy, comfortable, and looks great on. I didn't trust the clasp, so I wore a black sports bra underneath. It's a bit low cut. Probably could have worn the small, but the medium was great. Love the pattern.
