Gorgeous color, flattering cutouts
I rented this for a summer vineyard wedding and the color was absolutely stunning. The cutouts were sexy, but not too revealing. Am very flat-chested, and so had no issues with the deep v in the front. I wore small covers, but no bra for this one.

More Pink / Orange than Pink / Red
When I rented this, I thought it would be more in the pink / red category and it ended up being more pink / orange, which was ok, just not what I expected. Very pear-shape friendly, solid construction with a nice, thick fabric and a flattering waistband ribbon.

Felt a little 70s but still flattering
Was looking for a dress with long sleeves for a late March wedding (to avoid needing a jacket) and this one fit the bill! Dress had a great weight due to the sequins and I wore the Nood bra + covers. I ended up liking this dress a lot more on the day of the wedding than I did when I tried it on. 7 months postpartum

Gorgeous, vibrant color. Bump friendly!
I rented this for a black tie wedding, this dress would be great for a maternity selection. Gorgeous color, beautiful neckline, no Spanx required. 5 stars!

Perfect Dress - Flattering, Comfortable and Great Color
I rented this for a brunch with Santa and wish that I could have bought it! Ended up buying it in black from Nordstrom Rack, but I wish they still had this gorgeous green color available. It's perfect for the holidays. Fit is comfortable and flattering, especially for pear shapes. The v-neck is appropriate, yet shares more skin. Dress also has great pockets. 5 stars!

Favorite dress I've ever rented
This dress is perfection! So flattering, modest, yet sexy. The fabric is very heavy and feels expensive. Perfect for pear shapes - beautiful cut outs. Felt like a movie star!

Fun Take on Leopard Print
I rented this dress for my daughter's second birthday party. The blue leopard was super fun and unique. The leg slit was a little high for my taste, also had to wear nude Spanx because the slip on the interior was too short to cover my butt. Comfortable and breezy dress

Didn't love this one as much as I hoped I would
I felt like this dress was just OK. I liked that it had the drawstring at the waist to bring the waist in and the ruffle detail on the bottom. The buttons up the front were also a nice detail. I just felt like it looked "meh" on and didn't work great with my body type (pear). I wanted to like this one a lot more than I actually did.

Loved the bright color and back cut out
STRUGGLED with the bra. Didn't want to buy a different bra so I just wore one I had. This dress has the clips to help hold it in place, but I felt like it was visible in the front or back regardless Pre kids would have been able to wear it braless Otherwise, loved it

SO MUCH FABRIC
I rented this for a baby shower and it definitely could be made into 2 dresses and still be modest. There is SO much fabric. I loved the print and coloring. I did not love how many ties there were - one at the neck, one at the waist (totally necessary because the dress runs large), and one on each arm. I felt like with the pattern + all the ties there was a lot going on.

BEAUTIFUL Flowy Dress, AWESOME Coloring
I rented this dress for my daughter's first birthday party and wish that I had a better 1:1 pic to share with the RTR community. I really loved this dress, it is classy, elegant, comfortable and flowy. Would recommend it for a spring / late summer as the fabric is pretty light. I am 5'4" and wore 2-3" heels with it and felt like it did drag a bit, so it was on the long side. Would definitely recommend it!

Perfect dress for our football-themed family photos
I really, really loved this dress! When I first tried it on, I thought the cut out in the middle was a little big, but it did not look too revealing in the family photos we took. I opted not to wear a bra or tape and that worked out fine as I am fairly small up top. The flowy skirt was very forgiving around my butt / hips. Would definitely recommend this dress!

Red Off the Shoulder for a Wedding
I really loved the color, fabric weight and pockets of this dress. I wore it for a wedding in September (cropped out my little one, so I apologize for the awkward / incomplete pic!). The top bodice was VERY structured with no give to it, so I went with the 4 instead of the 2. The zipper was also very challenging to do, even though there was room to zip. It kept getting stuck. I also found the top panel a little awkward to navigate. It never looked as put together as it does on the model, it was either up too high or down too low.

It was my first time renting this brand and it did not disappoint! Very forgiving fabric (could have sized down 1), but perfectly tropical for the Bahamas

This dress hit me at a great spot on my legs (read - long enough). I added a belt to accentuate my waist, but felt very comfortable and breezy in this Kate Spade!

Loved this red dress!
I really loved this dress, the waist fit well and it was flowy in all of the right areas. The sleeves did feel a bit disproportionate and I wish they were a bit more form fitting and less billowy

Super cute polka dots, breezy and comfortable!
Pro's - super cute pattern, very forgiving, flowy & feminine, has two bra holder hooks inside Con's - felt like the cut around the arms was a little awkward, gaps in the chest (as mentioned by other renters), but I was surprised it did it as much as it did as I am relatively flat chested Paired it with a cute seashell belt and would recommend it for a summer / warm weather event!

Loved this bright red and white stunner!
Very similar to other reviews, the top runs on the tighter side. I rented the XSR and SR and ended up wearing the larger size (even though I am fairly small up top). The flowy skirt hides many an imperfection in the hip / thigh area which I loved. The SR size has been worn by many and the upper side zipper was a little tricky. I wore this for vacation and loved it - would definitely rent it again.

Loved the color, length and detail on this Kate Spade!!
I ended up wearing the XSR, but could have worn the S as well. The upper back was a little tighter than I expected, so I did not end up wearing a bra with this dress. The length was perfect, and I loved the color, detail and flowy skirt. I would definitely rent this one again!!

Perfect for a botanical garden wedding guest!
Beautiful dress, I received tons of compliments. I thought the inside lining was different than I expected - it was a little low cut in the chest, and then VERY tight around my hips (I have wide hips and the material had some stretch, but it was tighter than I would have preferred). The length was great and I would definitely rent it again!
