Amazing dress - so pretty, comfortable, fun to wear
I loooved this dress. It was so comfortable, great length, with pockets as well. Fits true to size: I'm usually a 4 or 6, wore it in a 4 and felt comfortable, especially since the fabic has some give. Normal bra + no need for spanx = win win. I rented this as my back up for a weekend when I had two events. I ended up wearing it to a casual wedding (it was definitely not too white, which was an initial concern of mine).

Heed the warnings - runs SMALL
I read that this ran small, and rented the 4 anyway since it was the only size available (I'm usually a 4 or 6). It was comically small -- I think I MAY have gotten it zipped, but the result was my sister laughing in my face :) Needless to say I wore my back up. Regardless of fit, definitely has a very very full skirt.

Cool silhouette, pockets are a plus
I wore this for a spring wedding in Kentucky -- there's a chance that the slightly fuller skirt may have seemed a bit odd in a different location, but I liked it either way. Nice thick fabric, with pockets to boot! Definitely smallest on the natural waist and bust, with room in the hips. If I recall I may have had to go braless to make it fit more comfortably (which works because of the fabric) Pardon the crooked photo -- wanted to show the length and it's the only pic I had! Good for taller girls!

Racing Florals Dress

one of my favorite rentals to date!
I loved this dress -- amazing colors, beautiful material with a slight sheen, even better in person. The cap sleeves make it tight across the chest, especially if you're looking to dance with your hands over your head! It's definitely not LONG but most things aren't when you're 5'9. Material is on the thicker side so I'd consider this more of a spring dress than a dead of summer dress :)

Great color and cut - pleasantly surprised
This was a last minute rental for me, since I was planning to wear something of my own (for once), but ultimately decided to rent. I tend to wear more A-line dresses so this was different and a pleasant surprise! It showed off the legs a little (on me at least, I'm 5'9) but with the modest neck and longer sleeves it was perfect. This dress seems pretty plain but the beauty is in the details, mainly the skinny keyhole and the seams on the back, plus the great color. There ARE shoulder pads, that look scary until you put them on! I barely noticed them. I tried on the 38 first and it fit so I didn't try on the 36, but I'd air on the side of sizing slightly up (I'm usually either a 4 or 6).

Periwinkle Kallie Dress

Just okay
I rented this last minute for a wedding, and wasn't in love with it. It kind of looked like a bridesmaid dress (maybe due to the material). I ordered a 2 and 4 based on reviews that it runs large, versus my normal 4/6 order. The 4 was definitely a little big, but the 2 was tight across the chest. It would have worked if I had no other options, but I opted to wear something I owned instead. On the plus side, definitely long enough for fellow tall girls.

Great dress, easy to wear
This was actually my back up but it was so cute I ended up wearing it to the wedding instead of my first choice. The colors were great for a summer wedding, and it was really easy to wear. I was able to wear a convertible bra with the straps finagled for the neckline.

Runs small, no give
I took a gamble and rented this despite the fact that my back up wasn't available AND the reviews says it runs small. It was too tight to consider wearing to the bachelorette as planned (no dancing in that dress for me!) so I returned it with no problems.. RTR customer service was amazing per the usual :)
