Perfect dress that works for maternity needs
I was a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to find a dress that would work while heavily pregnant but this dress vastly exceeded my expectations! I wore it for my baby shower and it was not only a great color and cut, it was very comfortable to wear at almost 8 month pregnant. The stretch was exactly what I needed but not in any way constricting. I could have worn the small but the medium was just a little less tight. Pre-pregnancy I'm an a-cup, 120 pounds (small would be great) and 8 months pregnant I'm almost a full c-cup and 133 so medium was great. I had so many compliments and would highly recommend!

Felt like a beautiful southern belle!
I couldn't have been happier with this rental! I wore it to the Kentucky Derby and it was one of the most beautiful there. The colors in the picture don't do it justice as they are like a bold watercolor. The skirt is full enough that you feel so feminine and fun but not so much that it's hard to deal with. The cut of the skirt is also higher up which was perfect for not having to be self conscious about eating a meal and showing so. It hides anything you would normally be self conscious of. Both the 0 and the 2 fit. I wore the 0 because it had more blue in it to match my hat but probably would have wore the 2 if it wasn't for that. I will say that it is VERY snug in the ribcage and breast area (in both sizes). I'm a 32A/B and could barely zip it up wearing a minimally padded bra. Be warned this isn't the dress for your Victoria secret wear but is an incredible dress. Would recommend anytime!

Had compliments all day long on this perfect dress for the 'pink out' at the Kentucky Oaks
This dress was just beautiful and perfect for my event attending the Kentucky Oaks race. The dress is extremely well structured with good solid fabric and stitching and reinforced boning in the corset top. I loved the flair of the skirt that had just enough fullness. I would have probably fit a little better in a 0 but that size was unavailable and the 2 worked just fine. It was just a little loose in the bust but a more padded bra fixed that. My ONLY issue with the dress was that one of the areas with boning in the corset poked me all day long which was really annoying and left a small mark on my back by the end of the day. I'm sure it could be fixed by wearing a tight slip or a band aid to protect against the poking/rubbing but overall I would rent it again in a heartbeat!

My favorite RTR dress EVER!
If I could have kept this dress forever I would have! This was the most magical RTR dress I've ever rented. Not only was the dress BEAUTIFUL with all the sparkle and the color but it fit me perfectly. I put it on and felt instantly beautiful and what girl doesn't want to have that feeling! The great thing about this dress is the fact it can accentuate your figure without making you feel your flaws are highlighted in any way. I have a little curve for my smallish frame and felt so comfortable in this dress. I also had concerns the sparkle fabric would rub wrong but it was fine. I wore this dress to a fall black-tie fundraiser was able to eat, drink and shimmy in this dress all night long. I would recommend this dress to anyone and emerald if the color of the year for 2013!

great summer dress that flows wonderfully
I wore this dress for a anniversary dinner in the summer. My inital reaction was that the dress colors are actually much darker than it shows on the website. this isn't a bad thing, I just expected it to be brighter colors vs. deep pink and red. It is a beautifully light dress that is perfect for summer and very easy to wear. My only advise is it can be a little tricky to fit in the chest region. I'm fairly small-chested but its impossible to wear a bra with this dress so you have to tie it very tight to avoid any embaressing situations. :) Also, be mindful that if you are petite like me, you should wear higher shoes as it is a long dress for more petite frames. I've rented several dresses from RTR and this one wasn't my favorite but was very nice.

I felt like the best dressed girl at this very ritzy event.
This was my first RTR experience and this dress was actually my back-up for a glitzy fundraising gala and I ended up loving it even more than my other option. I personally thought it fit a little big but maybe that is because the other RTR dress I ordered was a skin-tight fit. I personally HATED the extra front drape on the dress so I tucked it in which actually worked well because I'm not the most well endowed and it prevented me from having to pull up on the strapless dress all night. If you like a super tight fit this might not be for you. But for being head to knee sparkles, I still felt very classy. I got tons of compliments and was thrilled I picked it.
