The most amazing dress
La Double J is one of my preferred brands. The problem is where do you wear such fantastic dresses? The fundraiser was the perfect opportunity to wear this gem. I got a medium and it fit perfectly. I got many compliments and can’t wait to wear it again

Made me a skirt person
I am not a skirt person. I love Vince but I wasn’t sure but I rented it. I wore it 4x out and about. It was comfortable and looked great. I paired it with a tank. It has an elastic waist but it wasn’t frumpy. Might end up buying ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another win for Shoshanna
I wear many of her designs and I wasn’t sure if this one when it arrived. I put it on and it was perfect. I wore it when I guest hosted at my husband’s pub. Received many compliments and paired it with some tan sneakers from Rag & Bone. Plan on wearing it again before I return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not for me
This was a dress that I rented and it sat in my closet unsure what to do with it. I put it on for my husband who immediately said he wasn’t a fan. I asked why and he said it looked Handmaids Tale and it didn’t fall right. He also said it looked cheap which for an expensive dress, is not what you want to hear. I am also busty, it stretched under my arms and you could see it looked tight but wasn’t. It was odd and I’m sure with some undergarments it might work but I returned it instead.

This English designer is one of my favorites and I wish RTR had more of them. I wore this on my trip to NYC and not only did it look lovely but it wore well in the heat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My mom says I look like a movie star!
This was a great dress and at 5’5 it was the perfect length that I wore my converse formal sneakers. I had a little trouble with the bra and ended up strapless. I got compliments all night and I was incredibly comfortable

Sightseeing in London
With DVF I size up one size. They can run small and this was perfect as a ten. London had a heat wave the week before so I wasn't sure what to pack, I felt cool or hot this dress was perfect. Easy to walk in, kept me cool and looked fashionable.

My pants in NYC for Fashion Week
These are long so you will need to make temporary adjustments. The are very comfortable and my rear looked great (according to my husband). These can absolutely be a fall spring pant, the cloth is perfect. I was in NYC for the tail end of fashion week and I wanted to be comfy but look trendy and these pants were perfect

Lady in Red
I love the designers and thought this would be a great dress for an August wedding. I received more compliments from not only guests but people who worked at the wedding! I wore a small wedge heel and could have worn flats. A strapless bra is needed. This was by far the most comfortable dress I have worn to a wedding.

I have kept my membership even though I am not working remotely. I am still trying to be dressed and this is by far my favorite of the summer. It is perfect for a sunny day. It reminded me of visiting Italy, which I would been doing for my honeymoon this summer!

A dress that was the highlight of a fashion show I wasn't in!
I attend a fundraiser fashion show for the arts in the community each year. I love to wear a fashion forward dress and this was perfect. I am not a bow person but the back is amazing. The length was perfect as well. The necklace is RTR as well - Oscar De La Renta - so many compliments on both!

2nd anniversary date with a fantastic dress!
I love Victoria Beckham but could never afford one of her pieces till RTR. I saw this and snagged it as soon as it was available. I did not find it too puffy or 80's at all. I thought it fit perfectly and was just sexy enough. I have an awful time finding fun dresses - this has topped my list!

A dress that popped at the Boston Pops!
I saw this on RTR and thought it would be the perfect holiday dress. The reviews were good from many of the fellow ladies that are busty like myself. The 8 worked perfectly. The length was also great so I wore flats because heels weren't needed. The dress is heavy compared to others but not at all cumbersome. I was complimented all night.

Made me feel like class act
I discovered LK here on rent the runway. I wore a summer dress and it was a huge hit. I figured this might be a win as well. I was right. I am busty and sometimes these type dresses make me look larger. This did not. I wore it to work and received a slew of compliments. This dress is a class act and made me feel it as well.

A little white dress perfect for Coney Island
I am buying this dress. It is so hard to find a white dress to cover my flaws but still look nice. I went with a large (normally a medium) but it was perfect. I wore a strapless bra. I traveled around NYC (including Coney Island) and it was light and traveling well.

A dress perfect for the opera
I was headed to the met in NYC to see La Boheme. This dress was perfect. It hugged the good and hid the bad. I wore a strapless bra, as the top is sheer. I would not advise to wear this dress if plan on dancing as it is restrictive.

My dressed popped at the Holiday Boston Pops concert
I fluctuate between sizes 6 and 8. I went with the 8 and glad I did. It was a bit roomy in the torso but not enough to be noticeable. It would have been too tight in leg area if I went with 6. I loved the color and the sleeves. I kept the jewelry festive with silver disco ball earrings and a big rhinestone bracelet along with my McQueen signature flower ring. I did wear black tights as it showed and wore my snow boots.

Huge hit!
My boyfriend is fit and just my height. I love big dresses and high heels, so for our first wedding I wanted to look sleek but still trendy. I am an unlimited member and had this sent over last month. I was concerned with the fit (too tight) and being busty. It was perfect. I wore a strapless bra and danced all night without an issue. I am 5'5 and the length was perfect with my kitten heels. I got compliments all night and my boyfriend loved it. This was a family wedding and it was just sexy enough to be appropriate.

Wish it had pockets...
I wore this to an art fair. Many compliments and Tory had it featured in the window of her store that weekend. I went with an 8 because the way it is made in the chest. It is not made if you are looking to show off your assets - def for comfort and fashion. I do wish it had pockets.

Compliments all night!
My boyfriend has realized every dress he likes is rented. I wore this to dinner Memorial Day weekend. It's very very fitted so I wore spanx and no underwear. Even with the spanx you could see the line. I wore a cardigan and no jewelry except my rings because the dress spoke for itself.

Too beautiful for work
I love DVF and I saw this at saks in person. It reminded me of a Sari. Don't wear it to work, there is a bit of skin on the side showing. I wore it to an opening at the museum. It was 90 degrees that day and the dress was perfect. At 5'5 it was the perfect length and I wore gold flip flops without a problem. I received many compliments and my boyfriend loved the print as well as the silky material. DVF always runs a little small so go a size up if are between sizes. Rent this dress!

I love this dress and wore it for my #41st birthday. Most reviewers wore it sans bra but i wore a strapless and just had it show in the back. It was a little tight in the stomach area but I made it work with spanx. Everyone loved it, including my boyfriend.
