Fun, bright casual dress
I felt it ran a bit small. The bodice is pretty fitted, there is no stretch to the fabric. I didn’t love how it fit my chest the top was weirdly cut, I am C/D and would not recommend for bustier gals. I unfortunately don’t have a great pic to show what I mean. The fabric is like a cotton canvas, so it is thick and heavier, not ideal for hot temps. Overall, it was a cute casual style, and despite not having any give, was very comfortable and I was happy overall with it.

Tons of compliments, perfect for a masquerade ball!
I thought the fit was pretty true to size, form fitted with a slight bit of stretch, but overall very flattering. The length was perfect with 3.5" high heels (I'm 5' 3.5"). There was a twin (same dress) at the company holiday party. We both rocked it, and got tons of compliments. There was some minor seam damage, but not very noticeable. Glad I rented it!

Loved the swiss dot tulle
The fit was comfortable. It would hide problem areas well, and I got a lot of compliments on it. I would wear it again. My two complaints were: 1. I am 5'3 1/2" and I wish the dress was as short as it is shown on the model, but, short people problems.... There was really no good way to shorten it either. 2. This dress just came out and it had a missing eye hook that I had to go out and buy a new hook for... pretty annoying for a dress that probably only has been worn a few times.

I actually may buy this dress.
So this dress is a cotton blend, so I was hoping to wear it to a wedding but it was too casual for cocktail. The material was thick but comfortable. However, I wore it to a shower-which it was a bit scandalous- but despite that, LOVED IT. The cut-out showing a little under boob was sexy and fun. My friends loved it, I got a ton of compliments. I did not wear a bra with it. I considered wearing a stick on bra, but I think it would have shown. You could easily wear this to any day/night out in the city, a garden party, or at a resort on vacay. It is a great summer dress!

Cute but not sure I would rent again
It is a fun romper, and the bride really liked it, but I am not sure it was the most flattering. I was hoping to wear this to a shower, but it was dressier than I was thinking it would be. Like others mentioned, it ran small. The M, what I would normally wear, didn't zip. It was also lined from the top to mid thigh, which made it really hot, and I am glad we were in AC the entire wedding. If the wedding was outside and it was 80F I would have straight melted. It also rode up a lot when I was sitting, which was a bit uncomfortable, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I also thought the legs could have looked better if they were like 2" shorter, but maybe it's better if you are taller.

Super cute but the sleeves are so long
The dress was comfortable and stylish, I ended up wearing it with the sleeves half up my arms since they were just so long that they would have been in everything. Overall, it was a really cute and comfy spring dress.

Curves for days, cool fabric
As usual for RTR dresses, endless compliments, everyone told me I looked hot. I felt slightly self conscious about my midsection, this dress didn't pull in anything, but it was silky fabric lined and could easily be worn with spanx. I would say this dress ran true to size, but slightly on the smaller side. The size 10 was way too big, and I had space in the 8, so I may have been able to fit a 6. However, I felt that even if I did, since I don't have a perfectly flat stomach, I was happy to wear the 8. This dress was very comfortable to wear on a very humid outdoor wedding. My only real complaint is that you can't lift your arms higher than your head with the straps, but if they were really annoying, you could slip them off and let them hang under your arms and the dress wouldn't fall off. Overall, I would rent this dress again. For comparison, since I was able to compare dresses: The fit was much more flattering than a form fitting Yigal Azrouel that was supposed to be my backup dress, and the fabric was much more breathable. I had initially rented the yellow Jay Godfrey but it was unavailable, so my earrings were meant to be the statement with yellow, but this worked out and I was happy that I went with it.

Fun dress for a summer wedding
The fit was pretty true to size, it has boning in the bodice- which is starting to wear through on the bottom and was a bit uncomfortable. The dress is super long, I had to wear huge heels and it was still dragging. If the petite version was available I would have preferred that over regular because it is made for someone 5'6" or taller. Overall, I loved wearing the dress, its very flattering. It's hard to go wrong with Yumi Kim.

This dress is gorg, will probably buy it.
I found that the smaller size was better because it is a wrap dress. It's a gorgeous dress, I got tons of compliments. Only issue is because its a wrap dress you need to be careful if it's windy.... or bring safety pins.

Fun causal dress for anniversary dinner
I thought this dress ran slightly on the large side, I fit in both the small and medium, but since it's a wrap dress, its a little easier to size down. It was perfect for a date night, not too fancy, but super cute. Worn with a regular bra. Lots of boob action. I would love to upload a photo, but the uploader is not working.

Lots of compliments from strangers
The fit is pretty true to size. I would definitely size up for backup, because the waist band is fitted. I wore it with a bralette instead of a nubra, thought it worked out well. Very pretty dress for a night out, and got multiple compliments from men and women of all ages.

There were 3 of us wearing the same dress at our company holiday party.
The fit was good, I wore a nubra, but the top was not forgiving or supportive, so it required moving the nubra around a bit. I am 5'4 and I wore 3" heels and the dress was dragging on the floor, to the point where I had to hold it because people were stepping on it. Overall, it wasn't my favorite rental, but it wasn't the worst either. Additionally, I am a little disappointed that I keep getting dresses with the hook and eye closures broken. This was no exception, and I am upset that this isn't something that the dry cleaning team isn't looking for and repairing. I am lucky that I know how to sew, but I don't think it should always be my job to be making dress repairs.

Perfect for a 20s themed party!
The dress runs true to size, however, as some people complained it was tight around the midsection. I wore control top tights and felt fine. Plus it is a black dress so you can't tell it is tight. Overall, great choice for a roaring 20s theme party!

Bridal shower beauty!
The fit was very comfortable, good for all hip sizes. Very pretty color, received tons of compliments (not just because I was the bride-to-be). I assume, as with all the lace dresses, that the lace will start to show more signs of wear and tear as they are more frequently rented.

Worn for my bachelorette party!
This was really cute, but it ran small... and you could only wear a racerback bra with it. I went without and it was supportive enough to not need one (and I am not every flat). The fabric is very thick, so I would not rent this for going out in a really hot area. I think the temp of the evening was mid-60s, and I was comfortable out/dancing. It is also very difficult to zip up without help, so I had to have someone go to the bathroom with me, which was somewhat annoying. But I did get tons of compliments on it, and it was very flattering, and hides a not perfectly flat stomach.

Great dress... not for flat chested.
This dress I thought ran large, the tag on the inside says USA size 10 for the 44... I wish I had ordered the 42 & 44 instead of the 44, 46. I am not sure why they say this dress is "fitted at bust" because I found it to be gapingly large and I am not flat chested. I ended up having to wear a push up bra to fully fill it out (not something I was crazy about doing at the company holiday party). And I find double sided tape only works for a short amount of time. Otherwise the material is really substantial and good quality, very flattering.

Subtle sexy and elegant
I loved this dress, I wore the regular size I guess, but it was still 3.5" too long for me. So I ended up having to tape it up, which worked fine. The front is not actually just lace, it's lined behind it, so I was able to wear a strapless bra which was nice. It was very form fitting, however, the longer I wore it it had some stretch to it. I think in the sizing it says the dress is slim in the hips, I agreed with that. I would not recommend this dress for someone with very wide hips, unless you have huge boobs to fill out the top, since you'd probably have to size up to fit. However, I got a lot of compliments- but mostly from older women. It is very fitted and sexy without being slutty.

I did not actually wear this dress, but I'll still review it...
I did not wear this dress because it was too big, and I had only received one size since my backup size was unavailable. I really liked this dress, I wish I was able to get the right size- size 8 probably would have fit perfectly, but I am not sure that this dress is available to rent anymore.

Sexy Birthday Dress... not the easiest of fits.
Pros: great colors which hide imperfections from the front. Soft material, comfortable to wear. Cons: I felt it was much looser on top than the bottom. I had a hard time (it was really hot- so tape was sticking for 5 mins) keeping the shoulders on my shoulders. Which if I was going dancing would have been annoying and may have had a wardrobe malfunction since I didn't wear a bra. I also was thinking the bottom half of the dress would be a bit looser. It was skin tight. The only saving grace is the colors hide a less than perfectly flat stomach... I am somewhere between pear and hourglass shape, and I would think that it would work best for someone with a more athletic build. Overall, cute dress, but I would not have bought it had I tried it on in a store, and I was glad that it was a second, backup dress.

Not what I would have normally gone for, changed my mind!
I really liked this dress! Pros: The color is beautiful, I got tons of complements, very flattering. Cons: I couldn't wear a bra, so I had a bit of side boob, however, while I was at a bachelorette party, another bachelor party that happened to be on our booze cruise really enjoyed the side boob.. so I guess not all that bad. My only other complaint was that the straps kept falling down while on the dance floor. Overall, all the girls at the bachelorette said I should have bought it.

Beautiful, flattering dress, tons of compliments! However, showing lots of wear and tear.
The dresses have clearly been worn A LOT. I was surprised that there was no attempt during dry cleaning to fix any of the hook and eye closures on the top. I had to use pliers to keep them together, otherwise they would just slip out with minimal movement. The lace is also showing lots of signs of wear and tear, especially around the top hooks. I am glad I wore my hair down because the lace was slightly warped. I had also noticed a few other people's comments on that. However, we were at a holiday party for work, and it was darker and it was packed and the little dress issues weren't visible to anyone but me. I did get a lot of compliments! It was very comfortable on although not very forgiving if you don't have a perfectly flat stomach, at least it's dark, so as long as you aren't getting photographed from the side, it wasn't an issue. I did not agree with the dress running on the small side as noted by lots of other girls. I wore my actual size, but wished I had ordered up a size for my second. Overall: mostly satisfied.
