I should not have sized up!
I'm a pre-preg sz 26 across the board in COH, Madewell, etc. i listened to reviews and got a 27. Wish I had not, as they were too big in waist/hip area and would not stay up. Could not wear. I'm currently 21 weeks, 128 lbs and wish i had ordered 26.

Good for maternity, TTS
I have a skinny neck, so tight neck wasn't a big issue for me. RTR hanger made the shoulders on the Sz S have pokey areas stick out, so I had to steam it. I think XS would have been best for me (120 pre-pregnancy, about 127 now at 20 weeks) as it is a stretchy fabric and I have small shoulders. Fun dress.

2nd Trimester Cutes
Cute for a developing baby bump otherwise not sure form fitting dresses like this are really my thing on my straight figure. Bummer that on the XS the hanger cut into the shoulder area, so I had to steam the arms/shoulders so it didn't have those stretched out hanger dents. Stretchy, size down for sure. I'll prob come back to this one and stick with an XS!

LUXE
The fabric is to die for and it's so comfortable and chic. The subtle two-tone fabric (slick silky on one side and more of a crepe silk on other side) is lovely IRL and even the interior is two-tone, opposite of the front side! Now that is a luxury high quality item worth renting and what I expect from RTR. I would love to rent this again. Everyone complimented, you can just tell it's expensive.

Size up for look on model
This dress was more form fitting than shown on model in my regular size XS. I'll try again in size S. It seems to have a nice shape, though nothing revolutionary here. I do appreciate RTR offering sweater dresses and more "regular" pieces, I just wish they were a little more high end sometimes.

High quality legging that feels a little off
I am 5'6 and these fit to the ankle, but I really had to hike them up. the band and overall legging is a thick knitted material and the fit is not quite like the warm hug I'm used to in my Beyond Yoga leggings. Pretty tho and shapes well. I am slender but 15 mos pregnant so I'll go up to a S-M if I rent these again since the waist is sort of odd. I'd say err on size up in general if you're super on the fence.

Just Alright
I feel blasé about this one. My husband and I both were like, eh, it's OK. Fit is fine, tie thing prob needs to be adjusted now and then. I'm 15 mos pregnant, and it didn't flatter or unflatter, per se. I look to RTR for high quality clothing that is ideally outside my regular spending range and feels luxe, and this kind of feels like Club Monaco level to me. Ended up not wearing.

Gorgeous color!
I am 32A-AA, 26, 34 and the size 0 dress fit pretty perfectly, though I had to wear strapless bra to fill out more and ribcage was tightish. I didn't have a problem dancing but stepping up into shuttle bus was penguin-like with the aforementioned lining. The fabric was a heavy cotton. Unfortunately, the dress was badly stained in the back but I wore anyway bc I didn't have anything else formal enough for black-tie optional wedding. Also delivery window was delayed in Manhattan and I seem to have prompt delivery issues with every rental.

The Colors!!!
I wore a 2 in a previous Saloni dress and the 0 fit me in this one. I am pretty small up top though, 32AA-26-34. The straps would be long on anyone. They are not adjustable and will need to be pinned or knotted. I did a little loop and with a strapless bra it all stayed in place pretty well. Fabric, tailoring and proving/color all amazing, as Saloni seems to do! A+

Statement Dress for Upstate Wedding
It was hard to find a dress that was fun, not too formal and seasonally appropriate for a late June wedding in upstate NY. This was it! A huge hit. My measurements are 32-26-34 and I'm 5'6 and the XS was comfy yet slightly too tight at my ribcage and gave slight upper back bulge with the cutouts. Oh well. It still rocked. In a perfect world I would have tailored the larger size but the S was too big in hips and bust to wear for this purpose. Length was perfect with my pretty high 3.25" heels.

Gorgeous color explosion for a brunch wedding!
Loved wearing this high quality fabric! Dress is both structured and flowy. Bottom half has light lining, but entire dress is lighter and more flowy than I imagined and fabric feels like a dream. I paired with neutral d'orsay pumps and thin hoops and let the dress speak for itself at a spring, largely outdoor brunch wedding. The style was more tailored/fitted than I realized by model photos, particularly around middle and hips. I am either a 0 or 2 because some styles overwhelm my narrow frame, so I wore a 2 in this dress and it was perfect--just enough wiggle room for dancing. If you're not sure, definitely size up. For my body type, the style really gave the illusion of more curves. One thing to note is the back zips to above natural waist, then 2 buttons secure the very top. I used a safety pin to pin one side of fabric to my bra so my black strapless bra wouldn't show. You could also just use petals and forgo the bra, but I didn't have those with me and didn't realize it might open a bit in the back and expose my bra. I recommend this for spring weather, summer may be a touch hot with the sleeve and close fit, esp if you're outside in sun a lot or "run hot".
