Classy yet sexy
I rented the 2P and 4R as the 2R wasn’t available. I’m short do i didn’t think the length would be an issue but the 2 was honestly kind of short. I wanted to wear platforms and couldn’t because it didn’t look right but with regular heels the length was ok! It hit just at my ankles. The ruching around the midsection was so flattering as I’m 4 months postpartum and still have some extra skin. I’m also breastfeeding so i needed a dress i could wear a bra (which I’m also not used to). So comfy and so many compliments!

Weird ruching
I rented this as a backup so i didn’t end up wearing it. I’m 4 months postpartum and had a c section so I’m a little self conscious about my midsection still. I chose this because of the ruching but the bust area was kind of weird. I’m also breastfeeding so my boobs are way bigger than I’m used to so that could’ve been in too.

Perfect baby shower dress
Perfect daytime dress in freezing temps. The waist is draw string. I'm short so the top bubbled over my waist slightly but didn't bother me. If you're between sizes go down one unless you're worried about length. I thought it hit the perfect spot on me. Got tons of compliments. Cute and comfy!

Fit like a glove!
I normally wear a 0 and the 0 fit like a glove (it only gave me the option to select size 4). This was a last minute rental since my first choice became unavailable the week of my black tie wedding. Luckily chicago has a store so I went there thinking I wasn't going to find anything. Honestly I liked this dress better!! Its nice and thick so i didn't wear spanx or a bra. It's stretchy and so comfy. I'm short so 5 inch heels made it hit perfect length. i don't like how short it is on the model

So comfy but hard to use the washroom
I wore this romper to my best friend's bridal shower. I had a wedding the night before that I rented for so I only rented one size in this. Not sure how the 0 would fit but I was so comfy in the 2. There are tiny hook and eye buttons in front and I have long nails so it was difficult to undo. Luckily I didn't have to use the washroom at the shower since it was only a few hours. If you planned on wearing this for a long period of time it may be a little annoying. So cute though and got a lot of compliments.

Can never go wrong with Parker!
I was a little apprehensive to rent this since there were no reviews but I figured I'd have to fit into either the XS or S since it was a basic tight dress. I'm either a 0 or 2 (normally the latter) just depends on fit of the dress since I have a butt and hips. They both fit but XS was a little more snug (in a good way) and didn't bunch in the stomach area like the Small did. Since the dress was brand new with tags still on the neck was a tad tight but I managed. I can also see the bottom of the dress getting stretched out after it's seen more renters but it was nice and tight for me. It's a thick material but I still wore spanx for the extra smoothness. Didn't ride up at all and it was the perfect length. You'll have to wear a strapless bra since the whole chest/neck area is see-through. Definitely recommend!

very comfy
I have skinny arms and even the sleeves were pretty tight on me. I normally like pretty short dresses but I decided to go with something more practical for once. The length was perfect, it hit a few inches above my knees. But when I sat down because there was no stretch to the slip or dress, I kind of had to pull it up. Luckily my spanks were on the shorter side but practice sitting down to make sure your undergarments don't show! Also, because there's no stretch and the sleeves were tight, I couldn't lift my arms above my head. I was still able to dance and it was so nice wearing a dress that wasn't skin tight!

very flattering
I rented this as a backup for my save the dates/engagement pictures. It fit perfectly and was very flattering. it's a thicker soft material. it's hard to tell in the picture but there's navy blue lines through it. If you're taller i can imagine this dress would be pretty short on you

loved that some of them fit my tiny wrists!
I wore these bangles for my save the dates/engagement pictures. I have very small wrists and usually cannot wear bangles because they slide right off. I wasn't able to wear all of them because the chunkier ones were a little big but there were plenty tiny ones I was able to wear. loved them!

matched the Badgley Mishka necklace I rented perfectly!
I rented these for my engagement/save the date pictures and they were perfect. I rented a Badgley Mishka necklace that was the main focus so I wanted something small but something you could still see with my hair down. these were perfect.

so many compliments
Herve Leger bandage dresses are definitely tight. Go down a size or 2 even. The material is nice and thick so it definitely smooths you out, but if you bloat easily from salty foods or fruity drinks beware. I was pretty self conscious after dinner because of how much my bloated tummy was popping out :/ This dress would be perfect if you weren't going to eat a big dinner like you do at a wedding. I'm shore and it still hit a good length.

so comfy and perfect for a winter wedding
loved the fit of this dress! I didn't rent a backup size because it's usually just a waste. I'm wondering if a size 2 would've been a tad looser to be more of a shift dress, but the 0 fit perfectly. It wasn't tight but laid on my body just right. if you're taller keep in mind it is short, but I loved the length on me. one of the sleeves had a little tear in the lace but you couldn't tell. I wore it with nude t-strap heels and gold jewelry.

received so many compliments! even "where's the bottom half of your dress?" ;)
I rented this dress for my winter engagement party. I didn't want something too fancy because it was at a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and I wanted to stay in the white/ivory color family seeing as I'm the bride :) I'm short so a lot of the dresses that look amazing on RTR's beautiful, tall models would come to an awkward length on me. I normally don't rent a backup size because I only fit into an XS or 0. After reading reviews and seeing pics I thought the XS might be too short even on me so I rented a backup size small. The XS fit me way better but it was pretty short. I like my dresses short but if you plan to dance or do anything but stand I'd go a size up. I had to keep pulling it down just from walking around and mingling (I didn't mind it, it was more of a cautious thing because so many family members where there!) The thick material is perfect for a fall or winter event and the dress is just beautiful. It's classy with a little bit of sexy! Highly recommend!

Super cute and fun
I rented this as a backup for my engagement party. I didn't end up wearing it because my first choice worked out, but it fit really well. I'm short so for me, the length was a little "long". I used quotations because it wasn't long lol. I just think it would look better on someone a couple inches taller. I would've added a skinny belt at the waist (pictured) because otherwise you lose the shape of your body. It's definitely a fun dress for a party. Helpful Tip: the tool gets bent and creased from being shipped in a small box, so make sure you have time to lay the dress out and maybe put a heavy book on it to flatten it out a bit before you wear it.

(Didn't end up wearing it)
I rented this dress as a backup for only $25. I didn't end up wearing it because my first choice fit me, but it was super cute on! It wasn't as tight as I'd like around the waist but it didn't look bad at all. This would be perfect for a shower or a daytime event.

Everyone saying how much they loved my dress and how classy it was!
After going through the reviews of a lot of dresses on RTR, I felt that this dress would have the highest success rate of fitting me! I'm short and petite, and even though this dress didn't hug my body (I knew it wouldn't by reading the reviews, but I didn't want it to be tight anyways), it looked so great on! Thanks RTR for sending me a sample of your double sided fashion tape! I wore a strapless bra and because the dress was a little big, the side of it hung down too low and showed my bra. So I tapes the dress to my bra under my armpit and it was fine! I'm never going to by a dress again! Thanks RTR for making my 1st experience wonderful!
