Cute, comfy, great pattern
I wore this 24 weeks pregnant, and while it is recommended as maternity, i wouldn't push it beyond that (even with sizing up). It was perfect for that stage but their tiers in the dress would be hugely unflattering with a bigger bump. That said, worked perfectly for me!

Beautiful, comfortable dress but slightly smaller than usual
This is probably the 5th yumi kim dress I've rented. I always love them-- the designs are always flattering and are so comfortable. I wore a racer back sports bra with this and it worked perfectly. I was at a wedding from noon to midnight in this dress and didn't mind it at all. I normally wear a small in yumi kim and wore the medium in this one, but that could have just been from a week of eating too much halloween candy.

Comfortable, easy dress with great colors
I really love this designer-- I've rented a few Yumi Kim dresses now and they're always great. Same general cut but the colors are always vibrant and fun and the fit is fantastic. This wrap was flattering and fun. The colors are maybe a little more vibrant in person than it appears online, so if you want something a little more muted, it might not be ideal.

Pretty colors, but...
I really wanted to love this dress, but it was really uncomfortable-- the long sleeves were super scratchy and itchy and it felt like it had been worn too many times. I've rented every dress I've worn to a wedding in the past 5 years and haven't had many issues. But I think a dress this heavy with details suffered from many cleanings and too much wear. The waistline sagged a bit and I don't know if it wasn't cleaned well enough or if it was just my sensitive nose, but it had a really strong fragrance to it. Overall, not a winner for me.

Cute and comfortable but see through
This was a pretty cute romper and fairly flattering, but you could definitely see through it. I ended up not wearing it because I just didn't like it enough, but for me the fit was good. It always seems hard to find rompers where the top and the bottom fit well, but not a problem for this one.

Great colors!
It ran a little small but was really flattering. It felt like it was tight in the right places to look form fitting but the top was forgiving. I was comfortable and felt great in it all night.

One of my favorite rentals yet
I wore this to a wedding in Hawaii. It was one of my favorite rentals of all time. It doesn't show it well in the picture but there is a slit up the side that made me feel super glam. It's also really flattering because I was about 10 weeks pregnant and feeling super bloated here.

Perfect for a little baby bump!
This was actually super flattering pregnant. I was about 6 months here and got a ton of compliments. I also didn't have to wear a bra with it, which was a major plus. It looked casual enough for an outdoor event but still special.

Casual and comfortable for a baby bump
I wore this to a bridal shower when I was about 30 weeks pregnant. I think I may have sized up and worn the 8 but it isn't fitted anywhere, so I don't know that you would need to. It was really flattering and comfortable and actually kind of hid my bump.

Great dress to dress up or down!
This dress was really comfortable and very flattering. I'm usually a 4 but sometimes wear a 6 and the SM fit perfectly. You can wear a regular bra and it was a first to me to come home from a wedding and sit around in a dress all night rather than running for sweatpants. I would definitely recommend this one-- it isn't as aggressively graphic print-style as some of the other dresses I've seen in this brand but still has a great pattern and bright colors. It looks almost exactly as pictured.

Really nice material, flattering cut
I liked this dress a lot, although it was very heavy for a beach vacation. It really looked great on and the cut out at the stomach is a perfect detail to add something interesting without being over the top. The only downsides were that the material presses against your skin a little too much around the cut out which can look kind of unflattering and that it really was heavy for a warm day.

Great material, really nice fit
This dress was super comfortable-- I wore it for an all day event and got a ton of compliments. I'm usually between a 4 and 6 and while both fit, the 4 was slightly more fitted. The material is thick and very sturdy. The neckline is great and its a really interesting play on lace. I loved it and would definitely rent it again.

Interesting fabric and fit seemed fine to me
I wore this to a NYE party and it was great. It was really warm and the fit worked just fine for me-- I rented the 4 and 6 (i'm usually in between sizes) and they both fit fine. I wore the 4 to make myself feel better but the 6 wasn't much bigger. I actually compared them just to see what everyone was so upset about and they were almost the same. The fabric is really interesting. You cant see it well in the pictures but its almost like a shiny tweed with sequin circles. I got a lot of compliments and it was pretty comfortable. Not my favorite dress I've ever rented but it looked cute and worked well.

Fun, colorful, flattering
I really liked this dress. The cut of the top is a little unusual, but it worked really well. I had expected the small to fit because I'm typically a 4 (occasionally a 6) but the medium was a lot better. I liked it overall but I'd maybe a little casual for a wedding.

Odd material, sheer back
I did not love this dress. The fit is nice and people definitely complimented it. But the material is weird and bunches near the seams, which added some bulk to it. The back is also fairly sheer-- you can definitely see a bra through it. It felt inappropriate for the rehearsal dinner I wore it to. I wouldn't rent it again but I didn't hate it-- it just wasn't a favorite.

Very bright in person
This dress was really comfortable and I got a ton of compliments on it. But the color was a lot brighter in person than I expected. That said, the size 6 was noticeably duller so the colors will definitely fade with wear. The fit is also really nice if you get the right size-- the 6 was really baggy and not at all flattering.

This dress was really flattering but be sure to size down if you don't have a big chest. This could easily be dressed up or dressed down. It was really fun and flattering. I would definitely rent it again.

Very flattering
This dress looked great and was actually pretty comfortable for such a fitted look. It was a lot of fun-- I didn't notice that it was riding up (like some other reviews mentioned) but it was REALLY tight right at the top. I would size up for the second dress.

Super flattering but really tight
This dress is absolutely adorable. And it was a really flattering cut. Like some of the other reviews mentioned, this material was not what I was expected. It's a really tight fit. I got a ton of compliments on this dress and I'm not sure that I would have worn anything else, but it really is SUPER fitted and that's not at all what I was expecting from the picture.

Cute addition
I wore these with a more casual look and they were really cute. They're a little bigger than I thought, but I really liked them. If you're blond you might want more of a pop with color because these kind of blended with my hair. But I was looking for something subtle, so they worked perfectly.

Stretched Out
My backup dress was unavailable by the time my rental was due to come and after going through a couple of different options with one of the rtr stylists I decided that this was the next best option. It's cute in person but the back is a stretchy material that had been worn out a little too much. That said, i'm usually between a 4 and a 6 and I only tried the 6 in this dress.

Great dress, runs a little big
The pattern is great, the flowy feel works for any setting. You could easily dress this up or dress it down. The only really minor issue was that it was a little big on top. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6. I wore the 4 and it still didn't fit snugly. It still looked great and photographed really well.

Great dress, very fitted
This dress is really cute and the material is thick, which was great for a cooler night but it was so fitted that it kept riding up and you could see the zipper curling when I sat down. Overall, it still worked but if I had to do it over again I might have picked a different style.

Runs Small
Very pretty color and the material is really flowy and pretty. But the back of the dress is almost sheer so it might be best to wear with a slip. The neckline is really low so bring a safety pin with you and the belt is actually built into the dress, so you can't use it to adjust. It also runs small-- I'm usually in between a 4-6 but sized up because of other reviews. The 8 fit well but was even a little snug in the skirt. Other than the fit issues it really was a very cute dress, though.

Great color
I ordered this dress as a back up for a NYE party. The colors are amazing and it's definitely a flattering cut, but I ordered the 10 (usually a size 4, sometimes a 6-- never a 2) and it was too big. I am a b cup and it was too big in the chest too. I would recommend size down with your extra.

I love this dress. The bodice has bones in it which make the top feel really tight. But, I wore it all night and loved it. It's looser around the waist so still pretty flattering.

I wore this to a NYE party, the fit was fine but contrary to what some of the others reviews suggest, I think this would actually look best of a bustier girl. I wore a ridiculously padded bra and it looked much better. It photographs really well!

This dress was absolutely perfect. Fit true to size. I thought it was even more colorful in person. I wore it to a wedding and was nervous it would have too much white in it, but it didn't at all. Definitely recommend.

I loved this dress. I was in between sizes and either could have worked but I thought I would be a little more comfortable in the 6. The back of the dress is great and I got a ton of compliments on it.
