If you have a FUPA, maybe reconsider.

I loved the color of this dress, but it wasn't flattering on my pear-shaped body... even with shapewear. The fabric is also very thick, so not the best choice for a summer wedding. Despite the fit, I think I could have gone down a size... even tho RTR recommended a 14R. A 12R would have felt better. I typically wear a 10/29 in jeans. I'm a 36 B/C and wore a sticky bra. This dress made my boobs loo smaller than they are.

Just Okay

I'd had my eye on this dress for a while. At $110, I was waiting for a coupon code to come through. I rented it for an outdoor Derby party, and while it worked, it was just "okay". I usually wear a 10, and found upon delivery that I definitely needed an 8. It just wasn't available. I cinched it with a belt, but still felt a tad frumpy. I'd wear it again. Perfect for a daytime party or casual spring affair, but it's definitely NOT worth the $110 rental price.

Not best for girls with hips and a booty.

Pros: Thick but breathable fabric. Beautiful detailing near the ankles and pockets. They look and feel expensive. Con: They weren't a great fit for my pear body type. They were too tight around the waist, hips, and thighs. If an XL existed, it would have been perfect. (My waist is about 35in and hips measure between 40-41in. I typically wear a 12 on the bottom).

I'm the Oprah of my office right now.

How would I describe this jacket in 3 words? I thought you'd never ask! - Modern - Structured - Versatile I wore this jacket to work the day after it came in the mail, and its lady-boss powers were immediately transferred to me. I felt like the Beyonce of office jobs in this thing. The sharp lines at the shoulders and the cropped cut make this piece flattering for bottom-heavy girls like myself. I'm usually a medium on top, so I ordered a 10, and the fit could not be more perfect. The sleeves are on the short side (but not to the extent of 3/4 sleeves), which I actually prefer. My bracelets and watch were easily visible without any scrunching. FYI - the cut is also super short in the back. The v-shape hits right about where your bra fastens, which may impact which top you pair it with. The fabric has a tab bit of stretch, so it's super comfortable. If I really were Beyonce and had Oprah money, I'd buy it!

Great fabric, not the best fit.

Pros: -- Silky fabric. Breezy and light. Perfect for a hot summer day. -- Relaxed fit. Very comfy with an adjustable drawstring at the waist and at the bottom. -- Perfect length for work. I'm 5'7" and it hit me right above the knee. -- It's very easy to dress up or down, and you can style it a variety of ways. Cons: -- It wrinkles SO easily. I mean, check out the pic. It's a real problem. -- The dress buttons all the way down the front, which I usually love, but this one gapped for me in the chest area and around the hips. I do have larger hips, but my boobs are average (36C). The gapping there was surprising, especially considering I ordered a large. Consider a slip or a tank underneath! This dress served its purpose for me, but I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Loved it the instant I put it on!

I have been pleasantly surprised to find lately that my ass (and the rest of my body), looks fire in a jumpsuit. I'm a medium on top, large on bottom. This particular piece played up my curves. It has POCKETS. Yas. The fabric is heavy and lined, disguising any jiggly parts. The only con is the plunging neckline. While I found it appropriate for an outdoor music festival, I had to use a strategically-placed safety pin to make the piece work-appropriate. I will be renting this jumpsuit again! NOTE: It's NAVY, not BLACK.

CLASSIC in the front. BOOM POW SURPRISE in the back!

I love this top so much, that I've already updated my will so that I can be buried in it face-down so everyone can see how sexy the back is. The cut-outs below the shoulders MAKE THIS PIECE. You'll need a racer-back bra to make it work. Or don't wear a bra at all. Whatever. I'm not the boss of you. I was worried the medium would be too small for me, because the top is structured with a zipper and has ZERO stretch. However, as a woman who's usually a size 6-8 on top (with a 36C bra), it hugged me in all the right places. My "girls" felt supported without being suffocated. The arm cutouts are deep enough so that you're not sweating all over the white fabric - big plus for someone who hates cleaning things. I wore this to work, but I'm in a creative field with a very liberal dress code. Due to the DAYUMMM GIRL-NESS of the back, this might not work in a more conservative environment. I'M KEEPING THIS FOREVER! Or until it needs dry cleaned. Then I'll send it back and rent it again. Byeeee!

Stunning statement piece!

I opened the box to this necklace, and immediately knew that Rent the Runway was going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands to get it back. I LOVE statement necklaces like this one, but always have a hard time investing in them because I don't wear them often enough to justify the price tag. Renting is the perfect solution, and this one is absolutely stunning. It looks exactly like it does in every picture you've seen on the site. I wore it to work with my RTR white peplum blouse as part of my unlimited subscription. Lots of compliments. Like Shia LaBeouf says... JUST DO IT!

It did everything you'd expect of a clutch. I loved the detailing on the outside. Perfect with my red jumpsuit!

Runs big on top!

I love rompers and the quality on this one was top notch. Beautiful lace. Heavy fabric. But the fit didn't quite match my shape. I'm a 12 on the bottom but more of an 8-10 on top, so the upper part of this was way too big. I still wore it, but probably could have gone down a size.

Cute for casual, but SHORT

I got this to wear on a sailboat ride with family. It's just "eh". It doesn't do anything for my shape, and it's dangerously short in the front where it snaps together. I plan on using a safety pin to avoid flashing the crew! I can make this work for a day, but I wouldn't buy this one or rent it again.

Feminine flair, but odd fit.

I love the fabric and the colors on this one, but the fit doesn't work for me. I love rompers, but - as a bottom-heavy gal - this one is a little too tight in the hips. It's also a little too short for my taste. There's not much shape, but a large belt helped fix that problem. It came with pockets that were ripped on the inside, but it wasn't totally unwearable. I like it enough to rock for one day, but that's about it!

Prefect Summer Dress

I'm a bottom-heavy gal, and this dress flattered my figure. I added a thin belt to enhance my shape. The fabric is thin without showing every lump and bump. I'm 5'7' and can wear it with flat sandals, although it comes close to dragging the ground. Also some gapping up top. All and all, perfect flair for a hot summer day!

I've never gotten more compliments on an outfit IN MY LIFE!

I shopped for this in store last minute for a black tie optional wedding I was invited to. Otherwise, I'm not sure I would have rented it... because I've never worn anything like this before, and it didn't even cross my mind to look for it. I'm so glad I did! A size 8 sort of fit (which surprised me, because I'm usually a 12 on the bottom)... but was a little too tight. The size 10, however, hugged my curves in all the right places. I felt SO sexy! I have a bit of a belly, and the pleating in the front helped disguise that (as did some shapewear underneath). The fabric is a tad see-thru in the bum area, so I'd suggest nude undies. But even with cut-outs below the ribs, the style allows you to wear your regular everyday bra. I cannot count the amount of compliments I've gotten wearing this item both in person and on social media. I loved it so much that I didn't want to give it back, because you could totally dress this down for everyday. ONE MILLION STARS!
