Better standing than sitting
I liked this dress a lot when I tried it on and got ready but as soon as I got in the car I realized I’d have issues. Definitely needs some tape to keep it closed. My bra was out all night. I thought the material was comfy and soft. My husband wasn’t a fan.

Class Reunion Dress
A nice casual dress. Worked well for my rooftop 20 year reunion when a purple dress for our school colors seemed like too much! Comfy…a bit short.

Joey Potter’s Prom dress
This was cute but I struggled between two sizes…I ended up going with the smaller so it would stay up better (it’s a nice heavy material), but then I did feel like it was pushing a lot of my boobs and arm fat out the top and the spaghetti straps were tight on my skin when it slid down and too loose to stay up if I pulled it up.

Felt better than I looked..
I felt great in this dress. It was unique and a great color…just didn’t end of loving the way I looked it in in pictures. The bra situation was probably most of the reason…would be best to get some pasties maybe!?

Terrific color
Beautiful color, excellent quality…a little hard to raise the arm and hanger strings where ridiculous. I could have done with some shapewear, but overall I really felt great in it and would recommend!

Cute but clingy and big
Wore to my office holiday party. Received compliments, but I usually wear a 4 or 6 and felt I was swimming in the 0 still. In part the style, but felt a little frumpy. I wore stockings as well because it was short and then had a static cling issue after taking my coat off. Not my favorite!

Not great for a new Mom
My own fault renting a tight sequence dress at just 6 weeks post-partum. Might have felt cuter if it was a baby bump, but wasn't ready to wear this out in public. Cute and comfy dress otherwise!

Hubby's Holiday Party
Material was an A+ and loved the style. I was just a little sad because I happened to be caught in between the size small - which was really tight and made me feel like a sausage and the medium - which was falling off my shoulder a bit. Overall I still felt great in it though...(went with the larger size for more comfort).

Comfy & classy for a baby shower
I was comfortable in both the S/M (1/2) sizes and received many complements at the shower. The pattern was very classy and the soft material made it comfortable to wear for several hours - I just didn't feel that the material was as high quality as I have been used to with RTR. I didn't actually check what it was, but it felt like a simple cotton dress.

November Baby Shower
Rented this for my baby shower. I accidentally brought the medium instead of the small to wear which fit better so this photo shows it a little big on me. I would suggest ordering your pre-pregnancy size for this dress. Overall it was very comfortable and I did get complements...my only complaint is that the material didn't seem as high of quality as I've come to expect with my rentals...kind of just felt like cotton.

Wedding class
Got a lot of complements on this dress. However, I decided to rent this dress (20 weeks pregnant) because I saw someone else wear it with a bump and turns out it didn't really work for me comfort-wise. The seam beneath the chest was too tight. Hope #rtr will create a maternity friendly category for mom's to be!

Kentucky Derby
This was my first ever onesie and though I got several compliments, I didn't feel the outfit fit me properly. Likely would have been better if my legs were a little bit longer so the pants didn't fall so low. I also had to pin up the waist so I didn't have a low crotch. Perhaps a zero would have fit me better...but I sized up instead of down. The 2 seemed to fit well on top...maybe I'm just not cut out for this look.

First cold shoulder
I was worried this dress would be too long on me because I'm on the short side, but it felt like the perfect length for a formal January wedding. Great material, a good combination of sexy and classy and a nice blank slate to accessorize however you would like. Would recommend!

Loved this dress so much I wore it to my husband's Holiday Party on Friday, out to dinner on Saturday and then again to my office party on Monday! Wore both the small and the medium, but was more comfortable with the medium. Felt professional and beautiful.

Loved this dress! Great color, sexy back. Was able to wear with out a bra, but must be careful with side boob!

Bridal shower option
This dress was sent in addition to the one I picked out because both sizes weren't available. Didn't end up wearing it because I liked the one I originally picked out, but it was incredibly unique. One of the dresses ruffles' weren't pressed properly, but very cute overall. Didn't get to wear for anything, but would have liked too!

I would say it was a little on the short side. Probably would have done best with the 4, but made it work! Lots of compliments at my Bridal shower. Loved the one shoulder/very feminine sleeve!

Bridal Shower Option
This was one of three dresses I was sent for my shower and I didn't end up wearing this one just because I liked another better (with long sleeves...better for the winter). I felt a little overly sexy in this dress (considering it was for a shower), but it was my fiancé' top pick and I may consider it again for a different event. Definitely need the fashion tape!

Bridal Shower
This was one of three dresses I was sent for my shower and I didn't end up wearing this one just because I liked another better (with long sleeves...better for the winter). I felt a little "young" in this dress, but it was great quality and I would perhaps rent it again for a spring event...

February Bridal Shower
This was a last minute pick to replace the strapless dress I had chosen that wasn't available in my size and I am so glad I chose it. It was much more appropriate for a snowy upstate New York bridal shower and I received many compliments! Did need some seamless underwear and the neck bunched up a bit oddly at times, but overall I was very happy with this dress!

Eh - Nice dress, but just ok - no compliments - seemed kind of forgettable for me too...
I usually wear a 2, so put this one on and headed out to the wedding and unfortunately, didn't realize until I sat down in the car that although the dress fit, it didn't give/stretch at all and I couldn't really take a full breath the whole night, so that was kind of a bummer! Might wanna make sure you can do that before you head out!

Bachelorette Bride
I typically am most comfortable in RTR 4s, but for this one, the 2 worked nicely. Felt very 1970s in this dress and kind of wished I owned it. Who needs a white dress unless you're a bride to be though? This is exactly what RTR is for!

Great dress, great night
Dress fit me - usually a 4 - to a T. I was nervous about the cut out, but it is very well placed. When I sat down I was worried about a play-dough situation happening, but the hole actually kind of disappeared when I sat so all was good! Would highly recommend.
