Perfect birthday celebration dress!
Rented this for my 30th birthday party! It was perfect and fun! Snug through the chest so sized up. Paired with a coral cardigan and some fun sandals.

Last minute replacement!
Wore to a bridal shower brunch. As a bridesmaid, I wanted something not too casual but not over-the-top. The first 2 dresses I rented did not work and picked this one. It arrived just in time (thank you customer service!) and worked well for the event. Large in the chest but my usual size was unavailable so it may have fit better with the 12. I did end up having to tape the top closed. Paired with a navy cardigan and nude heels. Would love to rent again!

Perfect summer dress!
I rented his for a fancy dinner double date in the city. We've had some very hot and humid weather but the lightweight material kept me comfortable. I loved everything about this dress. I sized up for my postpartum body and the dress didn't call any attention to my problem areas while accentuating my assets. Being large chested, I often have difficultly with the bust area being too tight or revealing. This was not the case! My husband said this is his favorite rental so far and I received complements in person and from photos I sent out. I paired it with some nude heels and some large earrings to keep it casual. It broke my heart to send this one back but I will be renting it again!

One of my favorite rentals!
I am obsessed with this dress! I wish I owned it! I rented it for my husbands birthday and was only one week postpartum. The float nature of the dress was perfect to balance my post baby body while still giving me a flattering figure. I paired it with black tights, black booties and a long gold multilayered necklace. I was receiving compliments all night!

Cute dress!
Rented this for Easter. Very cute dress! Thicker material which was helpful since it was cold by the ocean and I was also a few weeks postpartum. The dress was tight across the chest for being an XL. I paired with black tights and black booties. I received many compliments from family and strangers partly because I dressed my daughter is a similar pattern!

Garden Floral Asymmetrical Dress

Size Worn: XL

Very chic
This dress is a great spin on the LBD. The sleeves and the neckline are stunning and add enough detail to turn heads. Tighter fitting but flattering. Many compliments.

Very short and low cut.
This dress was extremely short (I'm only 5'5") and is very low cut. It looks like a great dress on the hanger but missed the mark otherwise.

Comfortable and fun for dog lovers!
Wore this for my birthday dinner! I was 2.5 months postpartum at the time and appreciated the flow of this dress! I paired with comfortable flats and simple earrings to keep the attention on the adorable husky faces!

Comfortable, trendy earrings
Dry comfortable earrings! Went perfectly with the dress I rented. They were smaller than I expected but that didn't ruin the experience.

Fun, unique show stopper!
I rented this dress for an end of the summer wedding. It was stunning. The color, the fabric, the fit were all amazing. The cut and the fabric did wonders for hiding my tiny baby bump. My only complaint would be the boning poked in a couple of spots at the bottom of the torso but it was a minor inconvenience. I received endless compliments throughout the night.

Blue Multi Printed High Low Maxi
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 12

Bust: 34I
Pleasantly surprised
These were shipped when the earrings I originally ordered could not be shipped. They matched my dress perfectly, were very lightweight and caught the light well. My only complaint would be they were a tad longer than expected and got caught on my dress a couple of times. Plenty of compliments!

Hydra Earrings
Dannijo
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 34H
Bump friendly and perfect for warmer temps!
This was a last minute dress sent to me by the amazing customer service at RTR. My first choice was unable to ship and the replacement did not fit. I am newly pregnant and body is a bit all over the place but my consultant was amazing in finding a bump friendly, stunning dress for a friends wedding celebration. The dress was super comfortable and light- perfect for a summer night. The extra material at the bottom was gorgeous while spinning it walking downstairs. My only complaint was my bra tended to show in front of my armpits or shoulder blades due to the cut. Plenty of compliments and would rent again!

Cobalt Floral Swing Dress

Very comfortable! Perfect for the summer!
This was sent to me as a backup when the dress I had ordered could not be shipped. This dress did not disappoint! Though it was one size too large, I was able to tuck and tape in the right places to reduce the excess fabric. The material was light and flowing which was nice in the Bermudan humidity!

Paradiso Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 14WR
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 34D
Comfortable but revealing
This was sent to me as a back up when the dress I ordered was damaged. While not my usual style, this backup worked for our anniversary dinner out in Bermuda. The colors were nice and bright and it hugged my curves in the right places. I received many complements but also many drifting eyes due to the lower neckline. I paired with glass earrings and tan espadrilles for a nice summer casual look.

Nessa Dress

Bust was small but waist was large
Unfortunately, my chest was too large. I am a 34H and was unable to zip it at the chest. However, the waist seemed big. The color and pattern is fantastic. Wish it worked!

Beware busty girls
I loved the colors- much brighter in person. Unfortunately, my chest was too large. I am a 34H and was unable to zip it at the chest.

Very comfortable and forgiving!
I rented this dress for my 2nd anniversary dinner with my husband. We got married on the beach and I wanted something comfortable, nautical and classic. This checked all three! I received many compliments throughout the night. The large for me perfectly everywhere but the bust. I am rather chesty (34H) and was able to zip the large, but it smushed the girls a tad and I opted to wear the XL for comfort. There is elastic underneath the arms to allow for some stretch in the bust- an AMAZING concept that I wish was employed in more dresses! The XL was large throughout (even the chest) but the cut of the dress made it look flattering and not circus tentish. The slip underneath went to the hem and blocked the lateral cutouts. A couple strips off fashion tape did the trick to hold it and place to show off the beautiful detail. I paired with a pair of boat shoes and a green cardigan to keep with the Cape Cod vibe of the hotel. Overall, one of my favorite rentals and I will definitely rent this one again!

Very comfortable dress for Easter Dinner
Wore this for Easter dinner with my husbands family. The color is gorgeous. The material is lightweight so I didn't overheat with the long sleeves. The free flowing material is forgiving of bumps and lumps. It is short so I matched it black tights and black booties for my comfort. Due to the cut, I could have worn the 10 but it was just a tad too tight through the chest (my problem area). Received many compliments and would definitely rent again!

Jasmin Dress
CYNTHIA STEFFE
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12

Bust: 34D
Comfortable, curve hugging show stopper!
I rented this for my free birthday rental. We had planned a party in the city and I wanted something sexy but not over the top. I received many compliments from friends and strangers at the bar. This dress was great- heavy material so would be a little hot in the warmer months. It is tight and very form fitting but the material and pattern flatter any bumps and curves. The top accommodated a large bust without the appearance of the dreaded uniboob. Since it is tight, it tends to ride up a little and since it is already short, I found myself pulling it down frequently. Overall, fun, sexy rental!

Beautiful but tight in chest...
I so wanted to wear this! I am normally a 10 but I am rather busty (34GG). I ordered the 10 and the 12 and even the 12 was too tight on my chest. We were able to zip it up (after much effort from my husband) but there is no give in the material through the chest. The ladies got a little too squished and I opted not to wear it. It's a shame because it was so beautiful!

Very comfortable!
Very comfortable and warm for a cold night out in the city. Matched with black plush lined tights to keep warm and paired with black wedge booties for a more casual look. I received so many compliments on the dress. Form fitting and the colors are slightly more muted than in the photo.

Cute pattern and lightweight
The fit was a little snug around the bust and the hips. I'm usually a 10 but still found the 12 snug in these spots. I would not recommend this for anyone who is rather busty (I'm a 34GG). I was able to zipper but the girls got smushed a little. Very pretty pattern l, received plenty of compliments.

Lula Dress

The compliments were coming all night long!
I rented this for my brothers wedding. The ceremony was in a chapel and the reception was at a garden estate. I wanted something formal but not over the top. This dress was perfect. The flow of the fabric was perfect and danced in the wind during pictures. The colors of the dress are stunning. The zipper is a little tricky at the belt so make sure you have some extra hands. The tightest point of the dress was the belted waist and the bust. At 34GG, my bust is my biggest area and I was able to zip the 12 and not feel constricted. The length was just right. I am 5'5" and wore 3 inch heels. My toes peeked out when I walked and hovered when I was standing. There were a few holes in the seems and one section was horribly repaired but the excess fabric hid it well. I received so many compliments on this dress! I'm so sad I have to send it back!!!

Good weight!
Nice and comfortable weight. For being big earrings they didn't pull my lobes. My only problem was the backs we a little loose so I just swapped them out with backs from another pair.

Beautiful, fun dress!
I rented this dress for a bachelorette party. It was great! The sequin caught the light perfectly, then fitness great and I was able to wear a normal bra. I got so many compliments for the other girls and people out and about. At 5'5" I felt the dress was a little short.

Pretty but didn't like the material
The colors and lines are very pretty but the material was very stiff and heavy and didn't fall right on my figure.

Beautiful dress- a tad tight and short for my liking. I am usually a 12 but the 14 probably would have been better. Unfortunately it was unavailable.
