If you're comfortable with your middle section & upper arms then this dress is for you!
I recently lost 15 lbs and can be between a 6 or an 8. This was my back up dress for a wedding but I didn't end up wearing it due to the fit in my mid section and upper arms. The size 8 was too big around my tummy and just hung there but the size 6 was just too tight. The same applies for the upper area, especially right by the under arm. The cut of the dress was not flattering on me in that area when in the size 6 and the size 8 was too baggy. RTR still sent me the original dress I rented in a size 6 and it fit perfectly so I went with that!

Beautiful necklace!
Absolutely stunning necklace but a little too fancy for the wedding we attended. I'll definitely rent it again for the appropriate event!

Perfect accessory!
I rented these to wear with a pink dress but ended wearing them with a navy on instead to give it a little pop of color. They were the perfect size and not too heavy. I'd rent again!

Fit is great but wouldn't rent again
The fabric on this dress is nice and thick which hides and imperfections my "mom bod" has! However, the top of the dress kept flipping out showing the rubber lining that is supposed to prevent it from doing just that. Unfortunately no amount of fabric tape worked to fix the issue so I just kept fidgeting with the dress until I had too many glasses of wine to care. :)

Absolutely stunning dress but runs very large!
This dress is incredible and you should totally rent it BUT size down...at least two sizes. I rented a 6 and 8 but both were too large. Unfortunately the 4 and 2 were rented so RTR was kind enough to help me find another dress in my size.

The color of this dress is stunning!
This dress runs large and even the long was not long enough for me (5' 6" with 3 1/2" heels). Now I just completed the whole 30 challenge so I might be totally underestimating my outcome because I was amazed when the size 6 zipped AND was comfortable. You can also see the seams of the dress' lining which was a bummer because I wasn't expecting that type of flaw on a dress of this caliber. The color was absolutely amazing though!

Perfect dress for fall wedding in Pittsburgh at 23 weeks pregnant!
I had been looking for a dress to wear to our good friend's wedding for quite a while. I knew it needed to work with Pittsburgh's unpredictable fall weather plus accommodate for my growing baby bump and this was just perfect! I wish I would've been more confident in my sizing and got with an 8R because it was a big large in the chest area but other than, the dress was just what I was looking for!

Of all the dresses I've ever worn (including my wedding dress) this is by far my favorite!
I wore this to my bother in law's wedding and chose it because the colors went well with my husband's tux and my daughter's flower girl dress. My dress size (8) is based on the lower half of my body which is bigger than the upper part and since the dress is only fitted in the upper part it was a tad big. Although my "girls" were a bit more exposed than normal it wasn't over the top or distasteful (thanks to some fashion tape) but I probably couldn't gotten away with a 6. The pockets were a plus, especially for a mom! I cannot tell you how many compliments I got from my family and complete strangers. I felt beautiful in this dress and highly recommend it to anyone who is considering renting it!

This dress is gorgeous and I would totally rent it again!
I wore this to a gala at the hotel where I work and it was the perfect dress. I felt like a million dollars in it and would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about renting it! I rented the medium and the large but ended up going with the large so I could breath. The dress did stretch a little after I'd be wearing it for awhile so I probably could've gotten away with the medium had I known that. I did purchase a backless bra because I needed the support after having a kid. It wasn't the best backless bra so if I rent this dress again I will definitely wear the medium to make me feel more comfortable about "them". :)

perfect dress for a fall wedding!
I rented this dress for a family wedding that was taking place outdoors in mid October and it was a perfect choice! It flattered my body in all the right places without being too tight or sexy. I paired with nude, round toe pumps and brushed gold jewelry. If you're looking for the dress to wear this fall to a special occasion...this is it!
