So comfortable
I really enjoyed wearing this dress. It was professional enough for a work conference, but comfortable and casual enough to hang out at the bar afterward. I'm a pretty solid size 6 and the medium was great. I probably could have sized down, but it likely would have felt too constricting.

Casual and chic
I really loved this dress! The skirt wrinkles easily, which is a bit annoying and the only reason it gets 4 of 5 stars. This fits the Austin vibe perfectly - I could have worn it anywhere. The fit was true to size - I'm a solid size 6 and the medium was great; sizing down would have been risky.

Just right
The color is stunning and the seaming details add some whimsy and intrigue. I loved this dress! I wore it to a work conference and it managed to look professional while making me feel like a 10. I'm generally a solid size 6 and the medium fit true to size.

A bit complicated...
I loved the fabric, print, and fit, but it was a bit complicated to get into. The dress fit perfectly, however, with no give in the fabric, it mean to had to be very conscious of my movements to ensure the side snaps didn't inadvertently come undone. I'm generally a solid size 6 and I think this fit true to size. Even with the potential for a wardrobe malfunction, I wouldn't have sized up, it would have been too big.

Comfortable and chic
I adore this dress and will definitely be renting again! I was a little worried that the color would wash me out or feel plain, but it did neither. The fit was perfect - form fitting in the right places without being tight or making me feel like I had to constantly suck in my tummy. I wore this to a conference and it was comfortable enough to wear all day.

Love this neckline
I wore this to present at a conference and it was great for the over air-conditioned ballroom. I'm usually a solid size 6, but the medium fit slightly large on the sleeves and through the bodice. That said, I don't think I could have sized down and been as comfortable in front of a crowd. I was able to wear a regular bra, but had to be careful that the straps didn't peak out. The rich color and unique neckline absolutely made this dress worth the rent.

Belle of the Ball
This was the perfect golden dress for Belle to play off my pup's The Beast Halloween costume! I'm generally a good size 6 and this dress was no exception. My only complaint is that the structured design of the bodice made my waist look a little wide, but it was very easy to wear and I had no concerns not wearing a bra. You probably could wear one, but as a 34DD, I managed to fill out the top without needing the additional support or padding. Everyone loved our costumes, but the pup got the most attention!

Classic wrap
This dress was just okay. I loved the material and the weight of the fabric helped the dress stay wrapped. It pulled ever so slightly on the button at the bust, but not to the point of being immediately noticeable or problematic. Overall a decent dress, definitely one of the easiest wraps to wear, but not one I'd rent again.

Great fit!
I wore this on the last day of a conference and it was the perfect combination of professional yet relaxed. The denim was a bit stiff, but I didn't have any issues sitting with the front slit. I'm generally a pretty solid size 6 and this dress was true to size and fit really well. The top button pulled ever so slightly, but it wasn't enough to be bothersome or concerning.

This was perfect for a casual Friday at the office. It was a tad short for my liking, which is why it gets four stars instead of five. Everything else about it was very cute. I really liked the collar and it was easy to elevate with the right jewelry.

Call me mellow yellow...
This color was fantastic! The fit was great, no issues there. But the front tie was a little cumbersome and the lines seemed disruptws by my larger chest. It was different for me, so very fun to wear! It just didn't love the cut as much as I wanted to.

The color is gorgeous and the pockets make it perfect! I wore this to a conference for work and received a lot of compliments. The v-neck is a bit steep, but not unprofessional. I'm generally a pretty solid size 6 and this dress was true to size for me. The shoulders are a little narrow, so I wore a racerback bra.

Perfect fit!
I absolutely love these jeans! The high rise waist with the wide leg makes for a beautiful silhouette. They fit perfectly through the waist and hips - no gapping at the waist, hit all my curves just right - but they were long. I wore 3 inch heels and the jeans still grazed the floor. Even so, I received so many compliments and will definitely be renting again.

Peach perfection!
I'm rather obsessed with this dress. The color is stunning and it flows so beautifully. The elastic waist was snug, yet comfortable. The top was a little on the baggy side and I had to be mindful of the v-neck slipping too low, but that was a minor concern given how much I loved this dress.

Standing room only
The dress fit like a glove when standing - a size up would have been too big - but it was a challenge to sit in since the buttons on the skirt pulled creating gaps that revealed a little too much. A strategically placed jacket saved the day. Overall this is a gorgeous piece and was perfect for a summer work conference. It made me feel elegant and had an understated glamor that I loved.

So fun!
Wore this to a luau themed party at a work conference and it was perfect. Conservative enough to wear around co-workers, but still fun and flirty with just the right amount of skin. I wore a regular bra - dark pink just in case it peaked through. The dress was more comfortable than I thought it would be with the tie closure in the back. It stayed secure throughout the evening, including during dancing and a limbo contest. Would definitely rent again.

Comfortable and easy
I was a little hesitant about renting this dress, but it ended up being a really great pick. I wore it to make a four hour drive to a conference and it was very comfortable! The tie was long enough that it could have been wrapped twice or tied in a bow instead of just a knot. While the dress seems a little plain, it is a blank canvas for accessorizing and definitely something you could have fun with.

Simply stunning
I felt amazing in this top! It's been awhile since I've wanted to post a picture of myself, but I felt so confident in this that I couldn't help it. The front did not have a clasp, so I did have to be careful that the front didn't open inappropriately throughout the day. It draped really well, so the only time I really had to worry was if I leaned over or while carrying a heavy shoulder bag.

So comfortable
I rented a large, but would have been just as comfortable in a medium; the fit is true to size. The color was more green than the yellow reflected in the pictures. The fabric arrived wrinkled and the quick pressing I gave it was pointless - the fabric simply wrinkles easily. Despite that, I would rent this top again. The detail on the sleeves is lovely and I received several compliments!

Perfect for Spring
The name of top does not lie - it is completely sheer. I wore a cream colored tank underneath since it was all that I had at the time, but it still looked great and I received several compliments. The top was true to size - it fit snugly across my larger bust and there was no give in the fabric - and came brand new with the tags still attached. The detail on the arms was really nice and gives plenty of room to move. The ties at the wrists came undone a couple of times throughout the day, but it was nothing a tighter bow couldn't handle.

I must have looked good, because he proposed!
Even though the 4 was loose through the waist (so loose that the zipper bunched when I sat down), it was a better fit in the bust than the backup size 2, which was perfect through the waist and hips but way too snug up top. I was incredibly happy and comfortable in the 4. I chose a small heel, about 2 inches, and the length was perfect. It is a stunning dress and I felt very glamorous.

The dress fit great - maybe a little snug in the bust, slightly low-cut, but note at all inappropriate. I loved that it wasn't too short, yet was somehow the perfect length for unexpected late night bar hopping.

Too small up top...
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear this dress at all... which was a bummer, it being my first rental. I ordered a 2 - which was way too small in the bust but fit perfectly at the waist - and a 4 - which was too snug to breathe up top but a too large at the waist. Thankfully, I rented a back up dress which fit like a gem and renewed my faith in RTR!

Everyone asked where I found such a gem of a dress - the looks on their faces when I told them it was rented were priceless!
I rented this as a backup dress to another RTR rental for my birthday weekend... Thank goodness! The other dress wouldn't zip over my bust - and although this one did, it was still a little big at the waist. Of course that didn't stop me from having a fantastic night. The pockets and the perfect look-at-me color certainly helped.
