Comfortable bump friendly dress!
I wore this to a wedding on the bay when I was about 5 months pregnant. It was a good quality fabric, comfortable and stretchy and the color really pops!

Loved this dress!
I rented this dress for a wedding and was about 5 months pregnant at the time. I knew I needed a 4 but that size was not available so I went with the 2 and hoped for the best. Unfortunately I could not get the zipper to close but the dress was just too cute to not take a quick photo before I exchanged for a different option.

Good spring dress
I rented this for a work event in the spring. I wore it was a blazer and it was appropriate but still fun.

Short and boxy
This shirt was too short and boxy for me to wear. If you have a long torso and aren't interested in flashing your belly whenever you lift your arms just a bit, then I would skip this shirt.

Fun LBD with a ruffle!
I ordered the 34 and 36 and went with the 36. The 34 was too tight on me. The dress fit perfectly but be sure to wear a bra that can dip down low in the back. Also, the straps felt a little big on me (as another reviewer said too) but it wasn't a big deal.

Great dress but low cut.
I was worried about this dress because many of the reviews talked about how low cut it was.... But I noticed it looked fine on a lot of girls who were the same shape and size as me, so I thought I would be OK. When it arrived the dress was beautiful and fit well but it was lower cut than I was comfortable with. I used some fashion tape to close the gap a bit and that helped. I did have to check myself in the mirror a few times to make sure the tape stayed but other than that it was a great dress and I received many compliments on it.

Perfect December Wedding Accessory.
I wore this for a few photos for my wedding that was in December. It was a nice accessory and it kept me a little warm for some outdoor photos. I didn't love it in all the photos so I'm glad I only wore it for a little bit. It was a nice addition that changed the look of my dress but it was also nice to be able to just easily take it off when I didn't want to wear it anymore.

Perfect for a bridesmaids dress.
I typically wouldn't rent this dress to wear to an event or as a wedding guest but it was perfect to wear as a bridesmaids dress. My friend had a blush colored wedding where all the girls could pick any short dress they wanted as long as it was blush. The fit was perfect but it did squash my chest a bit. The pockets are great when you have to run around a lot as a bridesmaid and don't have a free hand for a clutch. The sleeves were fun and I received many compliments. The fabric was not as heavy as I thought it would be based on other reviews and I wore it to an outdoor farm wedding in late May and was fine.

Perfect for a beach wedding
I typically go for a more a line dress but this was a nice change. Fit perfectly and wasn't too short and had some stretch to it. It was the perfect color for a July beach wedding.

Give it a chance!
I rented this for the party we had the night before our wedding. It looked cute online but when I got it in the mail it looked liked something an ice skater would wear. I tried to exchange it but didn't have any luck. I ended up wearing it (against the suggestions of my bridesmaids) and looking back on photos I think it looked really nice. I probably wouldn't wear it again but it's good for a bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or something like that.

Adorable and Comfortable!
I rented this for my bachlorette party brunch and it could not have been more perfect. The brunch was in NYC in November so it was cold out but I still wanted to wear a pretty white dress. Since this dress was ivory and a thicker material it didn't feel like I was wearing a spring dress or something too off season. I ordered a size 0 and 2 and went with the 0 because it fit more snug. The shirt was flowy and great for twirling. I had a great time in it! I actually reserved it again for me rehearsal dinner before I even sent it back.... so I guess you can say i LOVED IT.

Sparkly, Short, Comfy and Fabulous!
This dress was perfect for my bachlorette party that was in mid November in NYC! I wore it with a little black blazer and booties and received tons of compliments. I rented a 0 and 2 and went with the 2. This dress was comfortable and has some stretch. It was a little big in the belly for me but nothing very noticeable. One thing to be aware of is that it is pretty short if you are 5/7 or taller (like me). Don't plan to bend over to pick up anything or put your arms too high in the air. Other than that, it was a blast!

The only way to shop with RTR
This is the only way to shop with RTR. I love LOVE not paying for shipping and insurance fees. Totally worth it even if you only use RTR twice a year. I got it when I had a summer full of weddings and needed a new dress every couple of weeks. I have kept it ever since and use it often!

This is the second Erin Fetherston dress I rented and I loved it just as much as the first one!
This is the second Erin Fetherston dress I rented and I loved it just as much as the first one. This dress was fun but different. I think the drop waist is very slimming and the skirt is flowy (be careful on a windy day). It wasn't too short or too tight as some other reviews said. All around great dress.

Perfect dress for a summer wedding shower!
This dress is just adorable. It does run small. I am normally a size 2 or 4 but I could barely breath in the 4. RTR sent me a size 6 the next day and it was more comfortable.

Runs small. Go a size up.
This dress was adorable and I really wanted it to fit but it was just too tight in the top. Next time I will order a size 4 instead of a 2.

Not for me. Not sure who it would work for.
This dress looks so cute on the model but it is not cute at all in real life. It also has a very weird fit. I ordered a size 2 and it was super tight in the hips and arm holes and then baggy in the bust. Going up or down a size would not have helped me since the design and fit were so weird. I couldn't wear it at all and had to call RTR for a replacement dress. Cheers to anyone who can pull it off, but it didn't wok out for me at all.

Perfect little black dress with a gold pop!
I ordered this dress in a rush when my original dress didn't fit. Since the first dress I ordered looked so bad, I just wanted something simple. I thought this dress looked nice and"safe" ...so I went with that. The picture really doesn't do it justice at all. It has hints of gold in the pattern and the fabric and style are beautiful. It is really comfortable and runs true to size. I never thought I would want to rent the same dress twice but I will definitely rent this dress again.

Fun, classy and comfy!
I ordered a size 0 and a size 2. The size zero was too small (i couldn't even zip it) but the two was perfect. I thought I would wear a fun black necklace but then decided to do no necklace and just go with a thin black belt and simple black peep toe shoes. It was really comfy and even has pockets.

The pearls looked great for the prohibition themed event I was at but the dress did not work out.
If you are 5'6 or taller and have a long torso, I would not suggest renting this dress. I ordered a small and an extra small. I could have wore both as a shirt with skinny jeans. The XS was way too tight and very short. The small fit fine but was still very short. I don't think a medium would have worked either. It would have been too big in the bust and still too short. I'm sure this dress looks beautiful on shorter girls (as I can see from the pictures) but it did not work for me at all. I called RTR and requested a return credit and just wore a dress I already had with the beautiful necklace I rented too.

I ordered both a 2 and a 4 and the 2 was perfect! I didn't even try the 4 on. I received so many compliments on this dress. It was perfect for a wedding. I loved the whole RTR experience and have told all my friends about it. I will for sure use it again. :)
