Beautiful, feel-good dress
At 6 months postpartum, I am heavier than my usual so I ordered this dress in 3 sizes. Of course the middle size, 12, was unavailable at the time of shipping. 155 lbs, ht 5 ft 5’. I could squeeze into the size 10, but it wasn’t very flattering. I would not have been able to wear a bra in the size 10. The size 14 was on the larger side, but I needed it to work as a bridesmaids dress. I was able to wear a bra with plenty of extra bust room. I used double sided tape to keep the dress in place so my bra wouldn’t show. The size 12 would have likely been the perfect size being postpartum. The dress made me feel great overall. It held up well during traveling. No wrinkles. Disappointed RTR had the one size suddenly “unavailable” at the time of delivery, but would still rent again.

Excellent postpartum dress option!
I was desperate to feel comfortable in a dress considering being 10 weeks postpartum. Other dresses for RTR did not work at all. This beautiful green dress was stunning and made me feel like a million bucks. You can also wear a regular bra.

Arm holes too small! Not for anyone was a large chest.
This dress was the strangest fit. The arm holes were so small. This dress is not for broad shouldered women. My boobs are not even that big and the dress would barely zip. The material is odd and on the heavier side. This dress was a total fail.

Pretty print, but the straps are so long!
I liked wearing this dress because it was lightweight, unique print and color, and has gorgeous draping details. BUT, the straps are so long. Double sided tape is a must. Overall, comfortable dress but wouldn't wear again.

Loved wearing this fun sweater. Did wear a long sleeve shirt underneath to prevent any itching and also give it a tad more length.

Runs large. Not my cup of tea overall.
This jacket is not very warm. You would need many layers to stay warm in any temp below 50 degrees. (East coast reviewer). The XS was was all that was available and it fit with some room but it then did not give the very oversized look which was a positive for me. The pockets were nice and large. Good color but wouldn't rent again.

Great color, perfect long length.
This was warm and loved the color. The pockets were a great touch as well. There was a good amount of lint as it arrived new with tags, but that should subside with RTR dry cleaning. Recommend as a great basic cardigan.

Unique and cozy
This is a gorgeous sweater. On the thinner side so definitely requires a long sleeve shirt underneath for warmth and to prevent any itching. It wasn't super itchy by any means but I didn't want to risk being uncomfortable. It ran large, I wore a size small after reading reviews. At 3 months pregnant it was loose enough to feel comfortable. I'd recommend renting!

Black pants are the best.
J Brand jeans have changed my life since pregnancy. I did not wear them pre-pregnancy but my current size is a 28. I rented these in a 29 since it was all that was available. They were large and required a belt. They were also a bit stretched out in the elastic and showed some signs of wear on the elastic. Great length and will rent again in a size 28. For reference, I am 3 months pregnant and J brand offers the right amount of comfort in the waist.

Runs large and was stretched out.
The colors were so perfect and I love the material. Unfortunately was stretched out. Originally ordered a medium and it was too big so I rented the small. Small fit everywhere but the bottom due to being stretched out.

Warning: dress is short!!!
The Size Medium was like wearing a t-shirt, the small my bust was visible. Also, this dress is heavy. The bag came and weighed a ton. I am not tall and this dress was embarrassingly too short. rTr has to overnight me another option.

LOVED this dress!!
I wore this for my bachelorette party. It was comfortable, perfect length, loose enough to dance and eat and not feel self conscious. I tried the small on in this dress and the sleeves were too short and it was much more form fitting. Medium was perfect. Received so many compliments on this dress and felt amazing dancing the night away in it. Highly recommend! The dress I had originally wanted for my bachelorette was from RTR and was the silver sequin dress by dress the population dress with short sleeves. That dress was like a t-shirt on me. Do not hesitate to rent this dress. You will love it.

Disappointed in fit
This top looks so great in the reviews and I was excited to receive this top. I am busty and this top was terrible. I would need to size up to a large to be comfortable. The material wasn't very pleasant either. Wish this fit better!

Felt like a lampshade
I ordered a small agreeing reading reviews. I am usually a 6/8 and I felt I could have gone with the medium only because the bust area was a tad tight. The print is very pretty but the overall design is just not my cup of tea.

Might take gymnastics to get into and out of this top
Holy small. I wear a 6/8 and the large after finally making it into the top (secret side zipper is a saver) looked okay but I would get an XL if I were to rent again.

Rent this top. It is beautiful. If it wasn't so expensive I would own it in heartbeat. The colors are gorgeous and the details are everything you want in a top. It is rather thin fyi.

Soft and perfect. Bought it!
I was torn between ordering a size small or medium after reading reviews. I ordered a size small and it was perfect. I am a 6/8 and small or medium depending on brand. The small was the best choice for me and still had some room for layering. If you prefer a loose look, then get a medium if you are in my situation.

I ordered a large after reading some reviews and that was a mistake. I am a 6/8 and the large way too big. Will reorder in a medium. The colors are beautiful. The frills are fun. It is short and would require high waisted jeans.

Fun and unique
This is a beautiful top and the material is amazing. The stretch is the best. However it did feel a fit snug. The sleeves ran a tad short and I am not one to complain about sleeve length. It was snug in the upper arm/armpit area but nothing your hair can't camouflage. I would Size up if I were to rent again. Overall loved it though and perfect holiday top.

Pretty but not my cup of tea.
First, the long length in this is a must. This dress runs short. The color is beautiful and the dress is well made. It was not flattering at all with my wide hips. It added 15+ pounds to my frame easily. Super small armpit holes. I would have been so uncomfortable had I ever decided to wear this.

Engagement photo perfection.
The color and style of this dress is incredible. I am busty and the 6 was way too tight. The 8R was not available so the 8L worked just fine. I did not wear a bra with this, pasties only. The material is thin but flows very well. The dry cleaning was subpar but that was an easy fix. Do not hesitate to rent this gorgeous dress.

Did not work for my curvy frame
The dress is a great shade of red, but that's where the compliments ended with this. I am curvy and this dress was not flattering at all. It was also surprisingly too short for a 6R. I did not wear this dress.

Not for all body types.
The print was a bit much and not very flattering. For a regular length dress it could not be worn with heels. It just hit the floor and I am not tall. The ballgown hit my hips too low and was not flattering. I have wide hips, did not wear.

Beautiful colors but runs small and is short in the front.
The material is very light and flowy. Perfect length for a 5 foot 4 gal like myself. Ran small though and the front of the dress was way too short.

This dress was everything I had hoped for. Beautiful color, detailing and a good fit. Thank goodness for the adjustable straps. I did not have to wear a bra with this. I am curvy and the dress was form fitting. It has no stretch but is still comfortable. The large was too big, the MR for just right. I am a size 6 for reference. Highly recommend!

Okay LBD, had higher expectations.
The medium was too snug. The material has little stretch. The dress itself didn't make me feel like it was anything spectacular. I almost even returned it the next day but didn't feel like going out shopping last minute. The length was great for a formal dinner for my boyfriends company. A great necklace made me happier with the dress. Earrings were not enough to help this dress. The zipper in the back did bother me some as it started right above my butt so it puckered out. Overall, slightly disappointed with the dress after reading the reviews.

Beautiful colors, unique style
This is a fabulous dress. However, it does run small. I would have gone up in size to feel a little more comfortable in this number. The top fits kind of strange at first, and on some angles you see a lot of be white lining underneath. Overall, I loved wearing it but would recommend sizing up to be safe.

Nice dress, not my favorite.
I choose this dress for a wedding on July 4th weekend based on the colors. It's a very pretty dress and the length was great since it didn't fall too short. I just didn't love this dress. It didn't feel particularly special. It fit well and everyone liked it. It fit my 34D breast well, so this dress is accommodating for larger chested women. The 6 and 8 both fit, but the 8 looked too big. Overall, it was a comfortable dress that I liked.
