Wore this 2 weeks post-partum. Has pockets!

So I am a different size now but didn't want to wear a maternity dress for NYE. I sized myself up to 10 (normally a 6-8) and that dress definitely didn't fit. RTR customer service was great and overnighted me this and another dress in size 12, but also threw in a 14 just in case. Thank goodness, since only the 14 fit! Also I was able to stuff my Willow pump into the front with easy access. Loved the pockets, and everyone told me I didn't look like I just had a baby; the dress hid it well.

Rented for work, a bit low cut

Just your plain old maternity dress. Nothing special. Fit ok but a bit low cut (maybe I should have sized down). Worked well to mixup the wardrobe a bit while pregnant.

Felt like a doll!

I rented this for a party, but the weather was warm and I opted for something else. So, I wore this to work, and it was great!! I'm 24 weeks pregnant and it was perfect on my little baby bump. It was cool enough for late summer, but with long sleeves that were work appropriate. Everyone asked why I was all dressed up. The frills and light colors made me feel like a little doll. I loved it for maternity! I even considered purchasing it. Maybe later.

Comfortable, but no better than Target

I rented this since I'm 24 weeks pregnant and wanted to mix up my maxis. It's fine as a rental, and I'm glad I don't have to take up closet space with it. It's comfortable, but not something I would ever purchase at retail price. It's very comfortable and easy to wear.

Wonderful dress for maternity

Yes yeh shape looks like a sack, but a beautiful sack! I had tons of compliments. I even wore this to work with a blazer and it looked great. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and was looking for something other than the typical maternity styles. I loved the comfort and material of this dress.

XLR still small in maternity

I am 22 weeks pregnant and usually wear a size 6-8 dress. I rented the XLR thinking it would give me room to breathe. It fit perfectly, which was great, but not what I expected. It had adjustable straps that definitely needed adjusting. Overall it's a lovely maxi and still fit me, but there's no stretchiness in the material, so be warned!

Great for maternity without looking like a maternity dress

Silky soft, easy to put on, hides the bump, easy to dress up or down. Great for summer time. Hides stains/spills. Loved it. Will rent again.

Heavy material. Beautiful neckline really draws the attention upwards. Cut has a slimming effect. Material is slightly stretchy and forgiving. I loved this dress. Wore it to a work party at my boss' house. Very elegant and classy.

Beautiful rhinestones that reflected the raunbow

I probably could have fit the 8, but not comfortably. I'm 5'4", 7 months post-partum and currently 151 pounds. Not my ideal body weight, but I still felt beautiful and comfortable in this dress at a size 10. It was lovelier in person than in the pictures. The silver thread and the beading/stones around the neckline picked up and reflected light in a stunning way. My one complaint is that the beading at the neckline was so heavy and the fabric so soft that the neckline would flip around a lot. I do not have body tape or fabric tape to keep the neckline in place, so I let it flip. It was still ok, but definitely not ideal.

27 Weeks - Looked Great!

This dress was perfect. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and have gained 25-30 lbs. Rented the 8 R. I'm usually a size 4-6 when not pregnant. I kinda' wished I had gotten the "tall" dress, or something longer, b/c this floated above my feet while I was wearing flats. However, way better than the other Bagley Mishka dress I had rented (the 10R "Putting on the Glitz" dress in black) that wouldn't zip up around my belly, even though it was "bump friendly" also!). This dress worked out so well, some people didn't even notice I was pregnant! Maybe the sequins blinded them. :) Very happy with the American Liberty Gown for a black tie event during maternity. :) My friend wearing the black dress in the picture also used RTR for a diff Bagley Mishka dress. We had a great time.

Lovely lace 20 weeks pregnant

Fit my pregnant body after I gained 20 pounds. Wasn't expecting a medium would fit. I Had previously rented the copper version of this dress before, which I liked better. Ended up getting this as a backup for the Trina Turk origami orange dress, but loved that one so much more! This one was nice and fit well, but the modern style of the other dress was more appealing and more flattering on my pregnant body.

20 weeks pregnant, wore to work

RTR is turning out to be my best friend during pregnancy. I'm 20 lbs heavier than I usually am, so I got the Medium and the Large, thinking that I'd most likely wear the large. NOPE - the medium fit just fine. Large was too large! This at 150 lbs and 5'4". I will say it was great for a pregnant woman. Not too tight and flares out. Very beautiful dress. I don't usually purchase lace, because I feel it's hard to maintain, so renting it was fun. Time for the next pregnant dress!

20 weeks pregnant, but this dress hides it!

This was a super comfy dress. I got a size 10 because I normally wear a size 4-6 when I'm not pregnant. Now at 20 weeks, I'm 20 pounds heavier. This dress was great! Looks bright, classy, modern, feels extra comfy. Style hides pregnant belly well. Also, it has pockets! Wore this for a date with my husband over Halloween weekend. Was worried I would look like a pumpkin, but no it looked super cute. :)

20 weeks pregnant and going to evening work event

This dress may have been nice if I were not 20 pounds heavier than I usually am. I got the medium and the large, not knowing what size I'd actually be at this time. Unfortunately, the back-up large was not available to ship. The medium was OK in terms of the look of the top, but couldn't be worn as a dress for me. The dress was stretchy, which was helpful, but way too short with my pregnant belly. My butt was basically hanging out of the back, so for me, the dress was unwearable. For someone else, it may have been nice. I probably would have done well with the large.

"Summer Chic Wedding"

The theme of the wedding was summer chic, and this dress fit in perfectly. Classy, but lightweight and flowy. It was absolutely wonderful for dancing. Did not ride up too high. Loved the gold. Included pictures here of front view and side view and also one shot with good lighting (in the sun)...not included is a shot of the back, which is also nice and includes a bow. I usually don't go for dresses that aren't form-fitting, because I end up looking like a sack, but this one did nicely. Could've wore either the 2 or the 4, but I felt more comfortable in the 4.

Sparkly

Not my favorite. I got it for new year's eve because it was $20.15 and sparkly, so why not? But I found it unflattering. Other people said it looked nice on me, so maybe the sparkle effect was good enough, but there's something about the cut that just made me look and feel fat. I honestly feel that it even makes the model pictured look fat (I've seen her in other dresses on the site and it looks way better). But hey, for a cheap NYE dress, it worked and I felt comfortable in it (albeit fat) so whatever. :)

Comfy and Classy

Super comfortable to move in all night long while still being elegant, classy and formal - I wore it for a black tie optional holiday party. I loved that it was long because it shielded my legs from the cold December air. It has a nice slit in it that's a little sexy and is super flowy and moves really well. Several of my friends and I all wore RTR dresses and were fully satisfied (see photo). I will say, though, that the dress is a little tight on the top. I do not have much cleavage (34B), but it got difficult to zip around the chest even in the 6, when I typically wear a 4-6. I ended up wearing the 6 because it did zip up, and it fit perfectly and was nice and comfortable the whole night, but really if it were any tighter I would've had to abandon ship because it would not have zipped up. Received many compliments, and loved the dress.

Formal but Fun

I am usually a size 4. I got the size 4 and 6, and the 4 fit perfectly so I went with that. It was formal enough for me to wear as a guest to a black tie optional wedding in the Santa Barbara Zoo, but fun and interesting enough for me to enjoy it! I love the lace. I did, however, hope that the shape of the dress with the lace cut-outs would be more figure-flattering. I felt like it just looked normal rather than slimming me down. But the dress was nice and cool when it was sunny out in the August day wedding, and when it got cooler at night, I just draped a shawl over that and it worked great. The material is stretchy, so there is enough give to be comfortable. Also, as always, super easy to return while traveling (just dropped it in the nearest UPS drop near our Cali bead and breakfast!)

It's fun to sparkle!

This dress really stood out. I read other reviews about the dress running large so sized down. Typically I wear a 4 or 6, so I got a 2 and 4 this time. I could've warn either - both fit, but since I tend to have a small bust, I felt like the 4 hang a little TOO low with nothing to show for it. ;) Also, the 4 was a bit longer and went past the bottoms of my high heels. The 2 was perfect, and I didn't need a bra! Yay. The zipper caught a little bit at the waist, but once I got it past that zip, it looked stunning. And that's what people said to me at the graduation ceremony "stunning!" and "you look like you're about to accept a grammy!" and things of that nature. Tons and tons of compliments. I loved it. It's fun to sparkle, and this dress is especially beautiful in the sun....though I'm not sure if people might find it blinding at times. I guess it was great for the evening, as well.

Wish I had a photo!

Wore this for my birthday and my husband took me to a nice restaurant. Really thick material, but stretchy. Kinda' too hot for our Georgia spring-time. I think I would've done better wearing this in colder months, but it was fine for the restaurant. My husband loved it. The waitress loved it. Wish I had taken a photo. I wore it backwards like other girls have, and I think that looked better. Even made my flat chest look busty. :)

This was great for a vacation anniversary to Fort Lauderdale.

I was able to take it with me and just drop it off in a UPS drop box on the vacation. It was short and I didn't feel too hot in it in the beach weather. Very form-fitting. Both the small and the medium fit well, but I went ahead with the small because - hey, why not if you can fit into it? Plus, the shoulder straps had some extra material that kinda flopped in the back, so I tried to minimize that by using the smaller size. The back was lovely with the lace, but I found that pulling it up on my neck in the back tended to flatten out that flappy fabric, so that made it look better. Nice dress overall and definitely worth it.

Lovely Shimmer

Fit well, true to size. I got size 2 as back up based on reviews saying it ran large, but that would definitely have been too snug. The zipper on the dress caught a bit. It was wedding appropriate with a shawl, and perfect for the reception with sexy one shoulder and shawl off. Light purple dress with pale gold shimmer, so definitely go for gold accessories instead of silver. It was super comfortable for the whole night, and I didn't feel too exposed or cold at any point. Had a blast in this dress! The RTR crew was great to work with, too. The dress wasn't going to make it to me because of the snow and ice, but they overnighted it to Atlanta. :)
