Great fit, very flattering
I wore this to a black-tie event that I was working. Nice and conservative for a work event, but still fun and formal for a party.

Flattering fit in a more conservative work dress
Loved wearing this to work. Very professional but with a bit of character (hem ruffle and keyhole).

So comfortable and flattering
Love this dress! The fit is really flattering for an hourglass figure. Plenty of space in the bust.

Elegant and comfortable
This dress was absolutely perfect for a black tie optional wedding. Very elegant with a lovely print. Sophisticated cut that had some awesome conveniences like pockets and the ability to wear a normal bra. If I went to more formal events in my life I would buy this in a heartbeat!

Tons of extra fabric in the front
This dress had a very strange fit. I have a large chest so usually have to size up, but even in my usual size there was tons of extra fabric that billowed out above the knot at the side of the waist. I'm wondering if it just wasn't made well? It looked so odd with the balloon of fabric poking out that I couldn't wear it.

Comfortable work dress
Cute dress for a work event. Fabric isn't the highest quality so the seams are twisting a bit, and it can get a bit warm since it's not breathable. Lovely pattern, though, and a lovely fit.

Odd fit
I felt like I should have sized down and sized up on the bottom...

Tight on the bottom
Really liked this but the bottom was pretty tight. Fit well on top but I would still suggest sizing up.

Seemed like a nice dress but it had an odd smell out of the bag... rather chemical

Cute but a no-go with weird armpit seams
This is the first time I've had a problem with a RTR dress (and I've rented a ton). The fit on this was fine, but for some reason the armpit seams were huge and made it feel like I had golf balls under each armpit. I tried to just deal with it but I couldn't stand the feeling after about a minute so ended up not wearing it.

Perfect for steamy outdoor wedding
This dress could not have been more perfect for an extremely humid outdoor wedding. Loose and comfy, wore a standard bra (with one of those straps to pull the shoulder straps together slightly in the back). Wore it with a long necklace and some comfy, flashy heels and got compliments all night. So easy to dance! Apologies for the candid photo -- can't find the RTR one I took.

Rehearsal dinner stunner!
I love this dress so much! I'd already rented it in orange and so decided to get the pink for a rehearsal dinner. It's so comfortable, and has a gorgeous and unique cut. I got compliments all night!! Apologies for the random candid photo -- it's the best view of the dress.

Loved it but a bit short for me
This dress was so much fun and I wish I could have worn it. I got it as a replacement rental for another dress that couldn't ship for a wedding I was attending. I really wanted to wear it but I was worried about it being too short for dancing (plus I was singing in the wedding and it felt a bit too short for a ceremony participant). Would love to rent this again for date night!!

So comfortable with a regular bra!
Love this dress -- very classic and comfortable, flattering shape. The color is absolutely luscious. I loved that I could wear standard undergarments with this -- no need for a strapless bra or special undies. I wore this to a wedding and danced the night away in comfort. Paired it with nude heels and got tons of compliments!

Lovely light fabric, light as air!
This dress was so amazing for an Easter Sunday spent running around a warm, sticky New Orleans. It went from brunch to parade to window shopping to dancing seamlessly. It will end up wrinkled by the end of the da, but the beautiful silk still looks gorgeous. Just right for a warm day where you want to look sharp and fresh while being the most comfortable. I have a larger bust and the buttons barely pulled, which was a really pleasant surprise.

Too cute, comfy dress!!
LOVED this sweater dress. Such a flattering fit while being the ultimate in comfort. Wore this for a long day running around New Orleans on vacation. The fabric was actually super breathable (about 80 degrees out) and the dress held its shape nicely despite being a thin knit. Another winner from Trina Turk!!

Cozy and comfy!
This was such a fun soft sweater! My only complaint is that it was much shorter than I expected. I'm 5'8 and it didn't fully cover my butt (really thought it was going to be more of a dress). Still works with leggings, but would not work with tights.

Second time rental!
Loved this dress so much the first time that I rented it again! This time I wore it on vacation in New Orleans. Perhaps a bit heavy for an 85-degree day, but not too bad. Great fit, and gotta love those pockets!

Flashy AND comfy!
This dress was a win-win. Really lovely, structured cut, gorgeous fabric with a unique pattern, and comfortable as can be! Loved that I could wear a standard bra with this one. I wore this to an office party and it was just the ticket -- would definitely rent again!

The perfect elegant and comfortable dress for a summer wedding!
I love this dress. I've already rented it int he beautiful coral color and loved it, so thought I would give the teal a try. One thing to note -- it is NOT as light as it appears in the photos. I was expecting a bright turquoise dress, but it's really a fairly dark teal color. This was fine with me but just a bit surprising. I love the cut of this dress -- super flattering because it shows quite a bit of leg plus your whole shoulder, but it's very forgiving in the middle section because of all the fabric. I wish I owned this dress -- I received so many compliments!

Light material was great for a hot, outdoor wedding!
This dress was a great choice for an outdoor summer wedding. The fabric was nice and light while still being well-structured and formal enough. My only issue was that, while I originally thought I could do a regular bra with this, my straps creeped out a bit in photos. I'd say, if you're wearing a regular bra, get one of those things that pulls it into a racerback if you can, or at least wear one that has coloring similar to the dress. Mine was a light cream color and really showed up in photos, which was a bummer. Other than that, really loved this dress and received tons of compliments!

So many compliments on this simple and sexy stunner!
Loved this dress. It was extremely comfortable, particularly because I was able to wear a regular bra with it. You'll definitely need a bra for plunging necklines otherwise it will show. The fabric is fun because it holds it's poufy shape and doesn't get wrinkled. This dress runs huge -- I'm normally a 6/8 and wore a 2, and if there was a size smaller than that it probably would have fit perfectly. The only annoyance I had with this dress was the interior. It's not lined, which is fine, but the hemline around the neckline isn't sewn down completely, so it can flip (or at least pucker) out. I think this is an issue particularly for those with large busts. I would have pinned it but, since there's no lining, nothing to pin it to. Anyway, not a huge deal but it was slightly annoying since I had to adjust it about every hour as it would start to creep out, especially when I was dancing.

Beautiful, unique, and comfortable!
This dress was truly perfection. I read that it was a bit tight in the bust so I ordered up one size. It fit perfectly around my bust -- probably could have been a bit tighter around my waist, but because of the beautiful construction it looked amazing (and I was slimming even if a tad large). The fabric on this is beautiful. I got a last-minute invite to a gala and ordered this -- found out later that most other women would be in long dresses, panicked a little, but ended up wearing this one and felt perfectly in place and dressed appropriately. It's unique hi-lo shape, the fun back with the large strip of navy fabric, the pockets -- everything about this dress made it fun and easy to wear, plus a huge hit (lots of compliments). I wish I owned this!

Gorgeously sparkly and the perfect size
This purse is seriously perfection. It's so fun and sparkly, perfect for a formal affair but also appropriate for a night out on the town, and the size is amazing. I fit my phone, charger, plus small wallet, keys, and lip gloss with no issue. I didn't have a problem with the clasp or with glitter getting everywhere. Loved this purse and wish I could have kept it!

I rented this for a birthday dinner date with my husband.
This dress was fantastic. It was very comfortable, so perfect for a big meal. I'm pretty busty and this fit great -- wore a strapless bra with it. I got compliments from several people, and the host at the restaurant actually found me at our table during dinner to tell me a second time that I looked amazing. Such a treat!!
