Cute but really scratchy
This fit great, and I loved the style. However, it is way scratchier than it looks, and it's also fairly see through.

Perfect for a semi-casual vineyard wedding
Comfortable dress that you don’t need any special undergarments for. Wore it to a semi-indoor wedding where it was 55 degrees outside and probably 65 in a more inclosed setting and wore a jacket. The fabric is on the thinner side, but it is layered.

Tough to get in and off, heavy, but cute!
Let me start by saying it's actually a very comfy, cute, chic dress. I received several compliments on it at work. Getting it on and off is TOUGH--especially if you have a big chest. Once it's on it looks fine. Be prepared to wrestle yourself in and out of it!

Fun dress, definitely thin materia.
This dress is made of EXTREMELY thin fabric, but it is very forgiving and the print is fun! Because of the fabric, and because I was wearing it with tights in winter, it was extremely static-y.

Work appropriate for shorter ladies
This was a pretty, work-appropriate dress. The length was fine for me since I'm short. It wasn't a "wow," but it got the job done.

Christmas dress---perfect for family Christmas.
I wish I'd have rented a medium since this dress has plenty of room (I'm normally and 8/10), but I put a camisole under it to keep it from showing too much cleavage for family Christmas, and it was fine. It's pretty thin and soft material.

Great fit on short-waisted gals
If you are curvy and short waisted, this is a must rent. It flowed beautifully and was so effortless and comfortable. This is going on my "rent again" list for sure.

Cozy and festive
It's very boxy--I'd size down. I'm short waisted...but I'd guess this would get fairly cropped on a taller, thinner person.

So soft and comfortable
This dress is lined all the way to the neck, so you have the silky feel of the dress with the cozy, soft arms of a sweater. I wanted to buy this so much!

Very cute forgiving dress
This dress is extremely flowy, you can easily size down if you don't want it quite so billowy. The pattern is so vibrant and fun. Loved this rental.

Fitted, good material for work
This material is thick, so it would be great for fall. Fitted and true to size--I wish I'd have sized up for more room just because I prefer things a bit less fitted for work.

I'm curvy and short, this dress was much shorter and tighter than I'd imagined. Size up if you're curvy! The fabric is nice and thick.

Flattering, comfortable and much more stunning in person
This dress fit great. I normally have to size up because I have a larger chest and a wider back for my height, but this dress really stretches in a great way. I'd size down for a back-up. I am 4'11", and the regular just skimmed the floor in three inch heels, so if you're on the border of a long, definitely get it. Conversely, if you're short feel free to get this in a regular without worrying about it being too long. The lining does not go up to the shoulders, so you will need a strapless bra for this dress, which is kind of annoying given that it has long sleeves. Also be aware that it is fairly heavy and warm. I got tons of compliments on this dress all night; it is way more stunning in real life than in the photos.

Beautiful dress, not for large busts and short waists
This dress is gorgeous; thick fabric and vibrant colors. I received this as one of three replacement dresses for a set of dresses that weren't returned on time. I have a large chest and a short waist--this dress would have required all sorts of rigging for me to wear it without flashing the masses. If you're longer waisted or have a smaller bust, this dress could be a showstopper for you.

Not for the shortwaisted
This dress is much more fitted than I thought from the picture. I am very short waisted, and I had a ton of extra fabric up top on both the small and medium. It is a really pretty dress, just be wary if you don't have a longer torso.

Human Disco Ball
This dress is incredibly comfortable for a dress covered in sequins. I'm 4'11", so I didn't find this dress to be too short, but I'm guessing taller people would. The sequins are much more "rainbowy" instead of silver in person.

Comfortable, fun birthday dress
This dress is a thick fabric, and the pattern is gorgeous. It definitely runs on the larger side, so grab the smaller size for a backup.

Beautiful but very small
I received this as my "surprise bling" from RTR. It is really nice quality, and the clasp is beautiful. It definitely dresses up an outfit. That being said, it is a VERY small purse. I have the smaller iPhone in a case, and I had to take the case off to squeeze my phone into the purse.

Flattering, warm and easy
I'm very short, 4'11", and the petite was perfect with a small heel. This dress falls nicely, accentuates curves, and can be dressed up or down depending on the jewelry you wear with it. It is a thicker material, so I'd suggest it for a fall or winter event or you may get warm. It's flattering without being a showstopper.

Sexy and Comfortable
I wore this to a gala. It was such a comfortable dress. The arms are long and the dress is a bit difficult to get situated on your body, but once you put it on its easy to wear. Hides all the middle parts, and it's easy to wear with undergarments

Great bump-friendly dress
I wore this for a shower when I was 26 weeks pregnant, and it was perfect! I got so many compliments and was extremely comfortable. I ended up wearing the 10 over the 8 so the dress would fall better. I was a six before I got pregnant if that helps any other pregnant moms-to-be make sizing decisions.

Lovely, but catches easily
This bag is very versatile and much roomier than I expected. I received it as a stylist-selected "mystery bling" item--and it was kind of annoying because I rented a lacy dress and it kept catching. The sequins on the bag stick to everything, so I wouldn't rent this with anything that wasn't smooth. The bag is eye-catching. I received several compliments on it.

Dinner and a show in Vegas
This dress is super fun for a night out without being too revealing. It is definitely form fitting--I ended up sizing up to a 10. I would reserve a second size in a size up rather than down. The material is thick and high quality. I loved the rental!

Beautiful Color--Great if you're large busted and short waisted!
I received this dress after my initial rental was a bust. This dress was awesome! It fit perfectly in the chest and was a beautiful color. I have a hard time finding dresses that fir because I am short and curvy. This definitely fit the bill. My favorite rental ever!

I received these as a mystery choice from a stylist. It totally went with my dress, but they are really, really big. If you are tinier they can be a bit overpowering.

Weird fit, beautiful dress. Couldn't wear it!
I have a large bust, and my hips are smaller than the rest of me proportionally. This dress was huge in the bust, and about 3 inches too long in the torso. If you are tall, with narrow hips and large bust then this is a great dress for you. It really was beautiful, but I couldn't wear it.

Beautiful Print--not for the short waisted
This was my first disappointing rental. The top was way to long for my shirt torso, so it fit really awkwardly on top. Everything else about the dress was lovely.

Mystery item from the stylist was an awesome surprise!
I actually received these as the mystery selection from a stylist, and I loved them! The diamonds are much sparkler than they are in the picture, and the black rings have a bit of texture to them that make them extra special. They are light weight and extremely comfortable to wear. I feel like these would be really versatile.

Beautiful dress, beware if you're short waisted.
I loved this dress, and I definitely wore it, but as a short reviewer I have to give a little warning about the dress. The torso area is pretty long, so I had a ton of bunching going on in the back that was awkward. The rest of the dress was wonderful. The color is extremely vibrant, and the material is very comfortable. I loved that I could wear a normal bra, and the dress accommodated my large bust very well. Definitely wear spanx if you have a but of a tummy (I had a baby a bit ago, so I needed them), but the dress is quite slimming. I had such a blast dancing I didn't get a good picture. I will try to post one later if any of my friends caught a helpful one!

Felt comfortable and classy for a charity event.
This dress is super comfortable. I will say, if your are short this is a great dress. If you are taller than 5'2" I would get the long. My shoes showed with three inch heels in the regular. I would also say if you are chesty make sure to order the size that will fit your bust, the rest of the dress is fairly loose. I loved this dress, and this was my first RTR experience, but it won't be the last. I felt fabulous all night!
