Cutest Kate Spade dress!
I rented this for my 35th birthday and it was so fun and flirty! It runs a bit big, so I'm glad I also reserved the XS, which is what I wore! Definitely worth the price and you can dress it up with colorful heels or just wear cute sandals. I wore it out to my family bday dinner and to work!

Beautiful dress for Christmas photos and the holidays!
I wore this dress for our family Christmas picture and loved it. I still had about 8 pregnancy pounds on me, so I wore spanx to smooth everything out. Loved the rich emerald color of the dress and the cut was very flattering if you have a few pounds in your midsection still. Would definitely rent this again for the holidays!

Cute dress that flattered my baby bump!
I'm usually a 4/6 depending on the dress, but sized up to a 10 because I was 39 1/2 weeks pregnant. I wore spandex underneath the dress too and it was perfect. I got so many compliments on the dress and it made my baby bump look extra cute! Definitely a good dress to wear if you've got an event to go to and are about to pop!

Great dress, especially for your third trimester!
I rented this dress for my birthday weekend, where I was also 33 weeks pregnant! My belly had definitely started to grow a lot over these weeks leading up to my birthday, so I know I needed a flowy dress that would allow for that! This dress was perfect. I originally rented to S and M, but the S was unavailable last minute, so in addition to the M I was also sent another dress. The M however fit great! I wore this dress out to a nice dinner on Friday night (my actual birthday) and then before I returned it, we went and took some fun pictures at the biscuit paint wall in our city, as I wanted to test out the background for our upcoming baby pictures in two weeks. I would definitely rent this dress again, even if I wasn't pregnant!

Cute dress, but sad they didn't have my size
I rented this for a wedding when I was 16 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, only one of the two dress sizes I had originally rented became unavailable. I received the 4, but being pregnant, I really needed the 6, which is the size I wasn't able to get after all. So, I was not able to wear this dress. I did end up getting a back up dress that worked perfectly for my small bump, but I was bummed that I didn't get to wear this fun color block dress. I'll have to rent this again when I'm not pregnant and can wear my normal size 4 without any problems.

Perfect dress for a family Thanksgiving in Texas!
I rented this dress for Thanksgiving as I was hosting the dinner with my mom and we invited all of my in-laws, too. I received so many compliments, as this dress was both feminine and flirty! We ended up getting our family Christmas card pictures that same day, so this dress was perfect for that, too. My only complaint would be that the slip could ride up at times, so I definitely had to be aware of that as I was running around the kitchen, as I didn't want to show off too much leg to everyone. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Replacement dress that worked wonders!
This was a replacement dress that was sent to me when my original replacement dress did not work, as the original dress I rented was not available last minute. It was perfect, despite the fact that I'm not tall - I'm only 5'5" and unfortunately the 6R was already rented. When I wore this dress, I was 15 weeks pregnant and although I had a small baby bump, the dress was still very flattering. Since the dress was long (even with almost 4" heels), I actually folded it up, and the boning of the dress held the extra material up, with the help of a safety pins. I received countless comments and would love to rent this dress again when I'm no longer pregnant!

Unique dress which garnered tons of compliments!
I rented this for an indoor/outdoor wedding in Dallas and it was a perfect fit. True to size for a 4 and the regular length was long enough that I could still wear 3 inch heels. Although there's is a cutout on the bodice, I was still able to wear a strapless bra with the dress without it showing. The skirt of the dress is gorgeous and I did not want to return the dress. I received compliments everywhere we went! This is a gorgeous dress that is perfect for a spring/summer event!

Cute dress, but the smaller size would've fit better
I ordered his dress in a 4R with a 6R as a backup and the day before it shipped I got an email that the 4R was no longer available. Another dress was set in its place, but it was too dressy for the wedding I was attending. I went ahead and wore the 6R although it was a little big in the back and arm area. The 4R would have fit perfectly, but despite the size issue the dress was a big hit. I received so many compliments on the design and open back!

Fun gown for a formal event!
I rented this for the Barrister's Ball (law school prom) and not only my husband, but everyone there loved it too. It was very comfortable and the pockets were an added plus! Like others, I did experience some issues with the zipper, but it was nothing that a little soap couldn't solve. This is the first Monique Lhuillier dress I've rented, and I loved that it was true to size. This is a go to dress for any formal occasion!

Odd bra that doesn't sit naturally
I bought this to replace my nu bra and ended up not being able to wear it. I followed all of the directions, but the bra would not stay in the correct place and it just didn't look natural. The cup size was a B but seemed closer to a C as it kept popping out at the top and looked unusual. I was disappointed with this item and would recommend getting a backless adhesive bra where the cups are clasped together, as that should prevent some of these issues.
Perfect NYE party dress!
I rent this for NYE and got so many compliments while we were out. Everyone loved this dress and I told everyone I knew to start using rent the runway. I'm a big fan of sparkles at NYE so this was perfect. The size small for amazingly and I definitely didn't want to return it.

Amazing wedding reception dress!
I wore this dress to my wedding reception because I wore my grandma's 63 year old dress from 1952 for the ceremony and I didn't want to ruin it dancing the night away. I typically wear a size 4, but after reading the reviews I just ordered a 6R and it fit perfectly. It was very comfortable for dancing the night away with my husband and friends, as well as going out after! I definitely recommend this dress! It's very flattering and fun!

Replacement dress that worked out perfectly for my rehearsal dinner!
This dress was a replacement dress that was sent to me and it ended up working out perfectly to wear to my rehearsal dinner. I'm typically a size 4, but wore the 6 in this dress as the 4 was a bit snug around my rib cage. Everyone loved the color and the style. I was freaking out a bit when I found out I was receiving replacement dresses, but this was perfect. I would definitely rent this style again and I am going to try out some of the designers other dresses. This dress is a perfect feminine and classic look.

Amazing bachelorette party dress!
I rented this for my bachelorette party Halloween weekend in Las Vegas and it was a big hit. I received so many compliments and my fiancée loved it when he saw it too. This is definitely a dress I didn't want to return and I'll be looking for it when/if RTR sells it. The dress fit perfectly and the hidden pockets were an added perk. This is a dress I'll rent again!

Pretty Engagement Photo Dress
I rented this for my engagement photos. My fiance loved the dress and I thought it was pretty but wasn't a huge fan of the full skirt. Since I have hips, I felt like the full skirt made me look really wide in my pictures, so most of my pictures were taken from the side. Even though this dress is a gorgeous material, it is best suited for someone who is straight and narrow.

My favorite RTR dress of all time!
This is the first dress that I have absolutely not wanted to return. Even my fiancé agreed that he wanted me to keep it (which was a first!) I rented this for a friend's 4th of July wedding in Breckenridge. Everything about the dress was amazing. It fit perfectly, the embroidery was gorgeous and even though you do have to stand up straight because of the open back, it is worth renting! I received compliments from everyone the entire night! Rent this dress and you won't be disappointed!! I'll definitely rent this again!

Fun floral design for a destination wedding!
I rented this for my friend's destination wedding in Punta Cana. The dress fit like a glove, so it is definitely true to size. The only thing I did not like about the dress was the material. Where it was hot outside, I already had a problem with sweating, but this dress then further stuck to me and the hem began to ride up, so you could see the underlay. Cute dress, but I probably won't rent this again.

I rented this a few weeks ago for my friend's bachelorette party in Charleston. It was really comfortable and super cute for a night out dancing. It runs true to size and is perfect if you're looking for a simple black dress.

Gorgeous Dress!
I wore this on Saturday night for my friend's wedding in Houston. The dress fit perfectly and I received so many compliments while wearing it. The only drawback was that it was a little shorter than I would have wanted, but I opted out of wearing tights and just went with it. I would definitely rent this dress again!

This dress has odd sizing and a weird fit.
I rented this for a Valentine's Day wedding, but am not ending up wearing either of the sizes that I rented. After reading the reviews, I knew this dress was going to be hit or miss, but I wanted to to give it a shot anyway. I normally wear a size 4, so I rented both the size 40 and size 42. The 42 was way too large in the back and the dress itself made me look like my hips were twice their size. The size 40 zipped up, but it flattened by boobs so much that I looked I had nothing there except for a lot of cleavage. As someone with a B cup size, I'm not that large to begin with, but it looked really odd that I had all of this cleavage from the front, but a flat chest from the side. I went ahead and returned them immediately and since the wedding was in a different town and a new dress wouldn't arrive in time for me to leave the next, I opted to just get a credit. The dress is super cute, but was definitely not wearable for me.

Fun summer dress, but it's short!
I wore this in July for my 29th birthday party as my free birthday dress! It was super fun and fit well. I am usually in between a 2 or a 4, but I opted for the 4. Both the 2 and 4 were pretty comparable in size.. The only drawback is that it is short! I'm barely 5'5" and I had to really watch out when I sat down or bent over..

Love this dress!
I rented the XS and S for NYE this year. I agree with a lot of other comments that this dress ran a bit large, which is why I went with the XS. It fit perfectly in the hips and waist, but was a bit snug in the arms. I will definitely rent this dress again!

Awkward fit and cut
I rented this for a wedding and unfortunately the fit and cut were really awkward. It was bulky in some areas and too tight in other areas. Luckily once I tried it on and I knew that I wouldn't be able to wear it, I called RTR and they overnighted me a new dress to wear, which saved the day for me!

Stylish and Comfortable!
I rented this dress last weekend for a friend's wedding in Austin. This dress was perfect for an outdoor wedding/indoor reception. I received both sizes 4 and 6, but went with the 4. It fit perfectly, but I do agree with some other women that it was a bit short (even on me and I am almost 5'5") which meant I had to be careful when dancing. I paired the dress with tan heels and a tan belt, which looked great, even with the black detailing on the dress. I would definitely recommend this dress if you are looking for something that is not restricting and not too heavy.

Great Fit and Color!
I wore this dress to the wedding of one of my boyfriend's friends. The wedding was in August, in Austin, TX, which means it is going to be hot out! The dress was luckily really lightweight for the ceremony, so I wasn't stressed out about sweating through my dress. I ordered a 4 and a 6 and ended up wearing the 4 (which is my usual size). The dress fit perfectly. It was really comfortable for dancing the night away and I loved the subtle print on the dress, as well as the navy color. I'll definitely rent this again for another occasion.

I wore this dress to a friend's wedding in September and loved it! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to, but it was super comfortable which was great for dancing all night long! I ordered both a 2 and a 4 and the 2 was a little too snug around my ribcage so I went with the 4. Definitely a dress I would rent again!
