Rent your true size
I sized up to a medium as I was 6mo pregnant but wished I had gotten my regular size small. I didn’t end up wearing for that reason

Please be aware that if you are not a member of the IBTC, you will probably feel very on display in this dress. I love ALC and the fabric of the dress felt lovely and I wanted to wear, but it was a bit too much for me.

Beautiful dress!
I didn’t end up wearing because the XS just did not fit my chest. It is low cut which I love! I just would have needed a small to fit my current D cup.

Yellow perfection
Loved this dress! It was a why not rental and turned out to be one of my favorites. Only knocked one star off because the fabric is a bit looser during subsequent wears than the initial wear, but was wonderful and made me feel so pretty. I kept it for a full month to wear as much as possible

Gorgeous dress!
I wore this dress for my birthday dinner and almost bought it. I LOVED it. It will put your cleavage on display if you’re a d cup or larger, just be prepared for that. It has pockets, a slightly smocked back, and the best print. I felt so lovely and at 6weeks PP with my body feeling a bit foreign, that was a big win.

Fit a bit large
Runs a bit large and in this dress I think sizing down if you’re in between sizes would be more flattering than not. Got a small and probably should have had an XS

One for the tall girls!
I’m 5’9” and these pants were a huge hit for me. I rented and kept multiple cycles and have now rented in two sizes (pregnant and not pregnant) and I’m debating buying them that’s how much I don’t want to have to send them back! So soft. Love the drawstring waist and the wide legs.

Very sweet summer dress
I sized down one in this dress. I loved the pattern and it was so cute still flowy and worked with a 5mo bump. I will say the arm cuffs were a smidge tight! Got lots of compliments in this one but forgot to take any photos of myself while wearing it.

Gorgeous bump friendly easy dress!
This dress was definitely a dress up or down vibe. I almost bought it! The leg slits came up pretty high on me so I just wore bike shorts if it was windy. Bump friendly for sure, has pockets and made me feel effortlessly done up by just tossing on a dress.

Did not get to rent as a set but these pants were so comfortable and pretty. The one flaw is that the waistband flips a lot when you're going to the bathroom which can be pretty irritating

Very cute, pregnancy friendly
Loved this open vest, very on trend right now. It wasn't available in medium so I opted for small as reviews said it was a bit oversized and it worked fairly well even during month 8. Sometimes you just want to adcknowledge the baby belly lol. Was a little light across the chest but that was expected

Great sundress
This dress is lovely! It has a little bit of boho style to it, is a gorgeous midi sundress, and though it has a bit of a drop waist, I wore it in my third trimester and just sized up 2 from my normal size and it was great. I do wish the shoulder straps were adjustable but that was my only critique and they were just a little bit loose, not falling down or anything

Very easy to wear
This dress fit me through month 8 of pregnancy! It was a very easy throw on and go dress and I did get multiple compliments on it when I wore. I didn't bother tying the shoulder and side ties, and did actually wear it backwards at one point to make it feel more like me.

easy flowy sundress
I'm 8 months pregnant and the size small was roomy enough to accomodate my bump! I didn't take any photos in this dress because it was just for casual wear, but i wore it as a swimsuit coverup and as a sundress on a friday afternoon. I love the lace cutouts on it, a little bit bohemian but not scandalous by any means.

Bump friendly!
I wore this for my little honey baby shower and loved it. I sized up one (to M) from my non-pregnancy size and the fit felt perfect. I loved the twist and the cutout, I was so happy to have found a dress where I could keep my own person style and not wear shapeless maternity options. I might even rent again not pregnant too!

Lightweight, long, lovely
These pants were so comfortable and I wished the weather had behaved a bit more so I could have worn them! Naturally it was rainy the days I wanted to wear this set which was frustrating. I'll probably try again. I sized up one (to M) for pregnancy and it was perfect at 7.5 months. I was also very pleased with the length of these. I'm 5'9" and these were a perfect length on me. Wish I could have worn more!!

pregnancy friendly denim
I'm the kind of girl that really likes being able to wear pants including denim when pregnant. I've rented these a number of times, sizing up as needed - but it is possible to size up too far. These jeans are a true stiff denim, but they "wear in" and the fibers loosen with wears. Pre pregnancy my Levi's size was a 26/27. Size 29 worked for 2nd trimester, 30 worked for the beginning of 3rd and I thought the second half of 3rd id need a 31. This particular size ended up being too big to stay up without a belt but this like I said, rented this style through my entire pregnancy thus far (now 36w) and am so grateful for them.

Lovely thick summer sweater
I wore this sweater a lot during a week trip to France. Tied around my shoulders, with jeans or leggings, over sundresses. It's a chunky knit so it's still breathable but it's an awesome heavy weight. I love the zip neckline because crewnecks are not always for me. It is slightly oversized so sticking with my regular size (S) worked perfectly well for my 6.5mo pregnant self.

Brand new!
This purse arrived with tags still on it! I liked that it could be a crossbody or you could tuck the longer strap inside and hold it as just a purse. It's just one pocket inside the bag which for whatever reason, I like at least one side pocket in purses but it worked great. Very cute.

Fun color and texture
I'm 7 months pregnant and pre-pregnancy wore a 26/27 waist depending on the brand. I sized up to a 6 so that I'd have room and they worked and were very comfortable but I think I'd personally have been happier in a 4 so the legs were a little less wide. The waist had a lot of stretch left even after fitting around the baby! I am 5'9 and the hemline didn't touch the tops of my shoes but I didn't expect them to. finding pants to wear that work with a bump is a challenge but these were nice.

significantly cropped tank
I have to say the most aggravating thing about this cropped top (aside from it being about 1 inch too short in length and showing my stomach) is that the snap closures on the wrap were constantly coming un-snapped. My boyfriend was getting frustrated with how frustrated I was and it absolutely was a distraction (for us) from the rehearsal dinner we were at. thankfully his family is relaxed so they wouldn't freak out if my bra was showing momentarily, but if you're thinking of wearing this to a conservative event... just don't. I was plenty paranoid already. I will say that the fabric is beautiful and I wanted to love it! Ultimately I don't recommend.

probably should have sized up
I rented this for my boyfriend's birthday and wound up returning unworn. I didn't want to size up and have it be too big for my chest, but it was far too tight on my hips for me to be confident in it... and this is a jumpsuit that deserves pure confidence! PSA for tall women, this L doesn't run as long as other Jay Godfrey jumpsuits i've rented. touched the top of my feet at 5'9'

I do wish this coat had any sort of front closure but it is entirely open. It's beautiful and unique! but for really windy days is kind of a pain to hold closed. fits V oversized, I wore large sweaters underneath with no problem.

Photo NOT accurate to length
Okay, IDK how small the stock photo model is but I'm 5'9" and the sleeves on this sweater barely pass my literal elbows and the pockets are at the bottom of my rib cage. Absolute insanity. I wanted to love this sweater and be cozy and boho and cute and instead I hate it so much I won't even wear it around the house... I'm just waiting until I can send it back.

Wow SO many compliments!!! Felt amazing in this dress.
I ordered this dress for a wedding in downtown chicago. The embroidery is to die for, the pockets are perfect for snacks, you don't have to suck anything in for photos and I didn't have to adjust the neckline at all. I felt so beautiful and thought wearing it on a 90degree day was not what I had in mind, sweat does not show! ... but you will sweat haha. Its a gorgeous heavy weight fabric. Regardless... do yourself a favor and rent this dress.

I die for this dress. I felt like the most elegant and chic version of myself. Plus... pockets!
Legit lost my mind when I saw this dress come available again for me to rent for my 30th birthday. Yes, the top is somewhat ill fitted for tiny chested people like myself. It's wide though the waist is tiny. I wish RTR had one size smaller. That is my ONLY complaint. The sequin straps are gorgeous, the low cut neck was perfect, the midi length is amazing. I came so dang close to leaving this one in my closet for a few more months. Cannot praise enough.

Oh. My. Goodness. I rented this dress for my birthday week. It was everything I wanted it to be!! I felt amaaaaazing, my boobs looked great. I used pasties but it was fitted enough I could have gone without and not had issues. The length was perfect and the embroidery is exquisite. I got so many compliments and felt like a queen.

Unique beautiful purse
The main reason this isn't 5stars is because the closure was a little bit annoying. Opening & closing the bag in checkout lines is a little bit cumbersome and I felt bad about taking a little long to get things in order. Otherwise it is a beautiful bag, was in perfect condition, and I would rent again.

not quite made for tall girls
I love all things A.L.C. Adore. I was really excited about this blazer and did end up wearing it a few days, but let me just say... the sleeves were WAY short. I'm 5'9' and was surprised that they ended above my wrists. i cuffed it a little to look like 3/4 sleeves, but with the buttons on the arms it wasn't as effortless a look as I was going for. I'm sure it would fit perfectly and look awesome on someone a little shorter than me.

Absolutely adored this sweater. If it wasn't so expensive I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. I wore it probably five times during the span I had to! Obviously oversized, so cozy. Love the pockets and the drawstring neck. Perfect casual Summer sweater for those nights when it still cools off.

I wanted to love this dress and ended up not wearing it. The zipper on the side wasn't long enough and stuck out from my waist in a really frustrating/obvious way. Otherwise it's a really sweet sundress.
