Great black dress
I was worried this dress would be too form fitting and not compliment the excess weight I still have from my second child, but it didn't disappoint me. The fabric was stretch and formed my body wonderfully. I did wear shapeware to feel more comfortable and accentuated it with a gold and leather belt. The sleeve were wonderful, covering and showing just enough to be appropriate for the funeral I went to that day. The dress looked perfect with black pumps, but I also wore gold Converse sneakers during the commute and the dress looked just as cute with those as well. High recommendation.

Beautiful dress
I wore this dress as a guest to a wedding recently. The style was perfect for the occasion and even the bride complimented on it. This nice fabric kept me comfortable even on a warm October day. I could see it being just fine for colder weather as well. As for fit, I should have sized down. It was too big overall, especially in the chest and waist area but didn't show as much on the skirt part of the dress. I used fabric tape to keep the straps and neckline more secure. Overall, I would definitely rent again, just a small size.

Great dress
I haven't yet gotten back to my normal size after having baby #2, but wanted something comfortable yet beautiful. This dress fit the bit! The sleeve covered my oversized arms and the wide v-neck complimented my large breasts (40D) without looking distasteful. If I had worn shapewear to tuck in my stomach, I would have felt more beautiful. Im 5"3', 196 lbs. right now, bit I'm going to rent this dress again after I get back into gear. Love it. Highly recommend, especially to the curvy girls!

Wore as a sweater
I was almost 38 weeks pregnant when I rented this sweater dress. I liked it, but my baby bump was way too big for it. Instead I wore it as a long sweater with pants. As far as comfort, this was a bit itchy for me. Wearing a tank top underneath did help. I'm not sure if I would rent it again postpartum. There are better sweater dresses to rent.

Nice dress
This is a nice sweater dress, but wish I got the XL instead of the large to fit my 32.5 week pregnant belly better. It would have been a bit longer. Also this dress was not itchy at all and looked great with opaque tights.

LOVE THIS DRESS!
I rented this dress to wear for work while on maternity (25 weeks pregnant) and love everything from the colors to the length to the comfort. It looks great with camel colored boots and is very appropriate for fall. I enjoyed the dress so much, I decided to wear it for Thanksgiving as well!

Nice dress
We were invited last minute to the American Dream Gala and needed something that would fit my postpartum body. I wasn't sure which size would fit so went with the size 12 since the 10 wasn't available. The dress was nice with the thicker fabric and built-in bra. Since the dress didn't quite fit, I did wear a strapless bra to fill the top. The only negative is that I wish I had the 10. I think it would have fit better, especially in the hip area. I felt I looked a little bigger due to the extra material. Overall, I would rent this dress again. And I was pleasantly surprised to have received the dress Friday afternoon after only ordering it Tuesday night.

Nice for maternity
I wanted to have a little fun while pregnant and rented this dress. In the picture I was 40 weeks pregnant and ready to deliver my baby. The dress was comfortable for late August and I would rent again in a smaller size not pregnant. (This dress runs big anyways.) To keep some shape to my body, I added a belt and it looked fine. However, since I am only 5'3", the dress did drag a bit on the ground.

I'm going to rent it again.
I rented this dress for a cocktail attire wedding. 6 months postpartum and not being able to hit the gym really, I wanted something that would both flatter my temporary body and look stylish. This dress fit the bill. I was nervous about the open back, but it looked fine even without fabric tape holding it down. Most of this time I had my baby in my hands and appreciated the extra material. If I had it though, I would certainly have used it to make the look a little more fitted. The see-through lace is not usually for me, but it looked nice for the event and really wasn't as revealing as I thought it would be. The only negative is that the hook was a bit difficult to stay clasp on the dress. It may have just been that one. Hopefully in the future I'll have an excuse to rent this again. You will receive many compliments if you chose this dress.

Comfortable
This dress is perfect for a hot, summer day. I wore the medium this 35 weeks pregnant and it fit considerably well. I did however had to use double sided tape to close off the opening of the dress, but it worked out well and was so comfortable! If I don't end up purchasing it, I will definitively rent again post pregnancy!

Comfortable dress.
I ended up wearing this dress on a laid back Sunday afternoon. The material is nice and the fit is very feminine. I am 35 weeks pregnant and the dress was accommodated my bump and it hitting the middle of my shins. (I'm 5'3"). This is something I can see in my wardrobe.

Great shirt for my baby bump!
This shirt was appropriate to wear in a business casual environment. I originally rented this shirt because I am 34 weeks pregnant and knew it would accommodate my bump. The fit and material are wonderful! I especially love it because my arms tend to be a bit muscular and the sleeves weren't tight even with the added pregnancy weight. I would rent again.

Great work dress.
This dress is perfect for work. The v-neck is appropriate for work and the fabric is very forgiven. I wish I requested the M instead of the L because it was a little too big around my baby bump.

Great dress!
I am 33 weeks pregnant and rented this dress for my baby shower. Overall, I love this dress! The material and colors are beautiful. The wrap fit my baby belly very and didn't have a problem tying it. However, I wish I requested the medium as my backup size-like many ladies have said, the top is too loose and I had to secure it with pins and fabric tape. I would recommend this dress for many events and for ladies with baby bumps or no baby bumps alike.

I wish I owed this dress!
I got this dress for a wedding during Memorial Day Weekend. After a shoulder injury and a bad New England winter, I have gained about 15 lbs. and was nervous when only the size 8 was available for the date needed. The dress fit well but I would have liked it to be a little less snug around the waist. Had I been my normal size, I would have been between the 6 and the 8. But the bottom was classy and comfortable. Also the pockets were structured so well you couldn't even tell they were there. Other than that, the dress was wonderful! I received so many compliments and stood out from the crowd. My boyfriend even said I was the best dressed guest. If I could purchase this dress, I would. I'll definitely be renting this again!

Never wore it.
I got this dress for a friend's wedding reception/cocktail party, but ended up not wearing either size. The dress wasn't flattering for my body, which is too bad because I was excited to wear it. Even though that was my first time trying RTR, I won't be turned off in trying the site again.

Beautiful for many events!
I got this dress for a friend's bridal shower and it was perfect. I dressed it up with a black belt, opaque tights, and high boots since it was late December. Many compliments were received by friends and family members. It was perfect to move around in and fufill by bridesmaid's duties on that day. After the shower, I got rid of the tights and boots and replaced them for high heels just to see what it would look like. If I was going to a more formal event, this dress would have worked well also. I would recommend this dress and would rent it again.
