Beautiful and Stretchy!
I wore this dress to a wedding last fall when I was 6 and a half months pregnant and it made me feel amazing. I did go up two sizes based on other reviews I read and found there was plenty of room for my baby bump. The lace on top gives it a beautiful neckline, though it makes a strapless bra a must. I'm also pretty busty without a bun in the oven and pregnancy made them even bigger, but I found the top to be stretchy enough to give some additional support and keep the strapless bra where it was supposed to be without too much slippage. I searched forever for a dress given I wasn't sure how big I would be by the time I needed it and this dress was perfect. One thing to keep in mind is that it runs pretty short. Between that and the bump, my shoes peeked out of the bottom even with flats, but I was prepared for that so I didn't mind it too much. Even if you're not pregnant, don't pass this one up!

Perfect color for our friends' "cozy, classy" holiday themed wedding
This was one of my favorite rentals! I really did feel like a glammed up mermaid. The green is absolutely stunning and I got so many compliments. I have a large bust (34F) and the fact that I could wear a regular bra with this was divine. I did wear spanks just to smooth everything out in the middle but that was a personal preference and likely wouldn't be necessary for everyone. I'm 5'7 and the regular would have been too short with heels, but I wanted to wear flats so it was fine. Rent this!!

Sexy
This dress was really sexy. I'm pretty curvy and the lace accent definitely played up my curves. It was very form-fitting, not enough to make it too small, but enough where I felt I needed spanx. Unfortunately, it ended up being the wrong time of the month to try and force myself into spanx and a tight dress, so I decided to wear something else that was more flowy in the midsection area. I really did love this dress though and would definitely rent it again for a different type of event (less eating, less dancing), especially now that I know how it fits and how it looks.

Nice dress, needed accessories
I really really liked this dress. The peplum wasn't as peplum-y as it is on the model, but it showed just fine. The one thing I will say is that the dress needed accessories. It was pretty so-so without any, but once I added the necklace and belt, I think it really came together. I even went a little flashier with the necklace than I normally do (Slate & Willow Dripping Arbor necklace) because I felt like the dress could handle it and I was right- neither the dress nor the necklace overpowered the other and I felt like they balanced each other well. The dress can be pretty busty if you're well-endowed. I'm a 34E and if I twisted the right way or bent over at all, the girls were definitely saying hi, but it wasn't anything distasteful as long as I was careful. The skirt fit perfectly snug which was nice to perk the booty a little and there was plenty of room up top, even if you're busty. The peplum was perfect if you like to hide your stomach like me. Material was slightly heavier, which was good to bring everything in and was perfect for an early fall wedding. Overall, I was really pleased with the dress and got lots of compliments, both at the wedding and from pictures.

Vintage
This was a gorgeous bracelet that came as my Mystery Bling for a wedding. While I really loved it and thought it had a beautiful vintage look, it wasn't as much of a statement piece as I would have liked and didn't quite go with the look I had for the night. I still wore it anyway, but it wasn't my favorite. With a different vibe it would have been perfect.

Worked, but wasn't my favorite
This dress was definitely pretty and worked for the event (spring evening wedding) but it wasn't my favorite. It fit true to size and the the fake peplum hid any stomach issues I wanted to hide. The length was nice and it worked with come plain black pumps. I received a lot of compliments on it and I was comfortable all night, but there was just something off about it so I didn't enjoy wearing this dress as much as I thought I would. I'm glad I tried something out of my comfort zone but I wouldn't rent it again.

Perfect Mystery Bling
I got these earrings as Mystery Bling with the Nicole Miller In Demand Gown and they were perfect! The sparkle was just right and they were a great size that you could still see from afar without being overwhelming. I'm usually the worst with accessories so having someone else pick it out for me was great. Definitely wouldn't have picked these for myself, which made them all the better! Will definitely be using Mystery Bling again and will keep these earrings in mind for future rentals.

Favorite dress I've ever worn
This was my first time using RTR and I was super nervous before my dress arrived (early!). But once I tried it on, it was perfect! I sized up for my backup just in case, since I'm pretty busty (34E) but it wasn't necessary. My normal size 10 fit like a glove! I wore a strapless bra only so I didn't have to worry about the straps showing, but I could have worn a regular bra if I had wanted to. The lace detail hid any problem areas I was worried about and made the dress form fitting but not tight. It was super comfortable all night and once I slipped into it, I (amazingly) never adjusted or thought about it again- I've never experienced that with any other dress ever! I'm between 5'6" and 5'7" but I ordered the R, which was a gamble that paid off. I wore 2.5 inch heels and the dress hit the floor exactly. I've received tons of compliments since this dress is not only gorgeous but unique. There weren't any other dresses even remotely similar at the wedding I attended. Have another wedding in two weeks and will definitely be using RTR!
