Size Up - Way Up
I usually wear a 12R in normal clothes, so I ordered both the 12 and the 14. The 14 didn't even come close to fitting. There is no give or stretch in the fabric. Pay closer attention than I did when ordering to the size guidelines and don't assume your size or one size up will fit you. It is a beautiful dress otherwise.

Elegant, romantic dress
Very pretty dress. Sheer portion is more pink in person. Many compliments. Felt it ran small - wore the size 16.

Too tight
I am 7.5 months pregnant and I rented this for a work presentation to make me feel more confident. It was entirely too tight and didn't end up wearing because it didn't make me feel good. The fabric was very thin. It probably would have been better earlier in my pregnancy when I was less self conscious but oh well.

Excellent necklace
Splurged on this rental because I've been eyeing it for a while. Very classy statement piece to jazz up an otherwise bland outfit.

Great dress - good for preggo
Very classy dress. Well made. Has a lining. Some stretch. Wore while 14 weeks pregnant. Usually wear 12 but rented 14 and it fit well bc 12 was a little snug.

Dolman Day Dress

Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12

Unique and Beautiful
Sized up. Wore the larger size. There's a little slip under the dress that does not stay in place easily. Use some fabric tape to make it stay in place. Otherwise it was a really cool dress.

Didn't fit, sent back.
This top didn't fit me so I sent it back. The bust/shoulders area was too tight. I wear a size 12 in most clothes and this felt like an 8. For my size 12 ladies out there, I would not rent this top.

Stole the Show!
This romper is very cute. Fit was snug on my measurements, but doable. The halter top strings are very long in back. Stunning!

Pretty, but Constricting
I did not end up wearing this item because it was just too small. I barely got it on and could hardly move once I did. The fabric is pretty, but has no give. If you have similar measurements to me, this will likely not fit you and I would not rent it. RTR was very cool about the return, however, and I was given a credit. Thanks RTR!

Dancing Til Daylight Dress
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12

Cute, but would not recommend if you wear size 12
I rented this for an important business meeting. I usually fit well in a 12 in most designers, but this one felt like I was pushing the limit on the fabric. The dress was very tight and the neckline and sleeves layed oddly on my shoulders. Almost like the sleeves never felt like they stayed in the right place. The neckline was really low and even with a strapless bra, the tops of the strapless bra showed occasionally. Would not recommend renting if you usually wear a size 12 in anything.

Pretty dress - fitted in the waist
I rented this dress for a date night. It is very beautiful in person but I didn't end up wearing it because it was too tight in the waist. The picture makes it seem flexible and for the most part it is but the waist is fitted.

Best Dress EVER!
In my recent memory I haven't had a dress that is this comfortable and this flattering! With pockets no less! I wore this dress to my engagement photos and it was picture perfect! I measure 42" in the waist and 38" in the chest and the size 12 fit wonderfully. Would love to rent again, but there are too many other dresses to explore!

Sexy Chic Dress
I wore this dress to my bachelorette party. Overall the fabric and details were great and it was a very sexy/flattering dress without losing any class. I didn't notice when renting, but the hem is shorter in front than in back just by a bit which was a neat feature. However it was a bit snug. I usually wear a size 10 or 12 (38D bust, 39" hips) and the size 12 in this dress fit, but was very tight.

Great Bridal Shower Dress
This dress was actually overnighted to me by the wonderful RTR staff who were so understanding when my original selection did not fit me. I wore it to my bridal shower and received so many compliments. The skirt is very feminine and flirty. The entire dress is very flattering and slimming. I have a 38D bust and the size 12 fit me well. The fabric is unlike any other I've worn before - shimmery with some texture. The colors are more vibrant in person than in the model photo. I would highly recommend this dress to anyone interested in renting it.

Great dress!
I wore this dress for a night out for my birthday. The fabric has a little stretch but is pretty thick. (It would be pretty warm to wear if it was really hot outside). The skirt is the best feature - it's flows and is tailored well. Overall a great first RTR experience.
