Very Toasty in Pregnancy
Great fit for third trimester, VERY warm. This is what I would wear outside with my toddler on a damp, cold day when maternity coats weren't blocking the weather well enough. I did sweat through a few Zoom meetings.

Third Trimester Staple
True to size for a pre-pregnancy size 6 with about 30 lbs of weight gain (mainly in torso and hips). Warm but breathable. Highly recommend for third trimester mamas!

Midweight, Not Heavyweight
I love my expandable Seraphine coat for babywearing and was expecting similar quality from this product as well. This ended up being not as well insulated as I expected, so I wore it for early spring days rather than late winter days. Otherwise, arrived in great condition and no complaints.

Adore for Late Pregnancy
Can't say enough about this coat for 2nd and 3rd trimester mamas. I kept it for 2-3 months as my belly expanded and felt put together every time I wore it. Highly recommend!

Light and airy
Needed a jumpsuit for 90-degree days and this is it. I ordered a 4 when I’m usually a solid 6 from the waist down, and the 4 fits great. Would recommend to size to your bust, not your hips. Plan on using petals and nude underwear with this to survive future heat waves!

Favorite Pants
These are a vibe. I wear them with tight t-shirts or tank tops on days when I just can’t do more. They hide panty lines, belly bloat, etc. and still prompt lingering looks as people try to figure out what they’re about. Light enough for cooler summer days, heavy enough for spring/fall. Love them!

Soft and Saturated
Soft to the touch, some compression in the waist but not as much as my most effective yoga pants. Constellation pattern is subtle, navy blue is deep and saturated. Purchased a medium based on reviews and am very pleased!

Understated summer elegance
Wore this out in the NYC heat and to work. The top half is sheer, but that’s not immediately apparent. The bottom is lined and flows beautifully with flats. Versatile, easy, put together - everything I appreciate about Vince. Love this piece!

Beautiful shape, variable color
I originally bought a M and received a bright whitish cream top that just couldn't seem to lay flat against my back; returned for a S. However, the small I received is definitely more ivory and shorter, although the bunching at the back is much better. Will keep the small to tuck into high-waisted pants and skirts in warmer weather.

High Quality Staple
I've been thinking about expanding my midi-length skirt collection but generally look more proportional in knee-length pencil skirts. This skirt doesn't hide my C-section pooch, and I don't care. It feels luxe on and moves fluidly. I can see why other reviewers love it so much! Worth the buy.

Buttery soft standout
Incredible jacket! Bought it having never rented it before and trusted the reviews/size recs after careful review. Buttery soft, lined, hits at the perfect spot, and the shoulder beading remains intact minus 1-2 pulled threads that aren’t noticeable. This purchase brings me joy every time I look at it!

Quality maternity dress!
I've been stalking RTR for awhile for quality maternity rentals/purchases. After seeing the number of positive reviews from women in their third trimester, I decided to buy this dress to wear to multiple weddings (I'll be 30-34 weeks). At 16 weeks, it fits well now, and there's plenty of room for growth! Material is soft jersey but thick enough not to show every lump and bump. Very pleased with my first RTR purchase!

Elegant Vintage Appeal
This is probably one of my all-time favorite rentals. I'm athletic but pear-shaped, with a small bust/waist and curvy hips. This dress hit all the right points - beautiful movement in the skirt while dancing, shoulder coverage for a cathedral ceremony, and lace in between elegantly pleated fabric. Cups made for an easy choice to go bra-less, and no slimming undergarments otherwise needed. Perfect for a fall or winter event. 10/10 would recommend!

Easy Breezy Beautiful
This dress was a risk for me and I loved it. Generous cut, probably could have worn a 4, but felt comfortable in the 6. Of several dresses I wore for a hot summer ethnic wedding, this one was my husband's favorite. Gorgeous beaded neckline, sheer panels at the knees, beautiful flow when walking. Just needed a strapless bra, whatever type of underwear I wanted, and the finishing touches before dancing outside!

Elegant, Flowy
In a cheaper or stiffer fabric, this dress would be dull. Thankfully, it's not. Neckline trends toward racerback while still accommodating a regular bra (or a racerback bra!), which adds a little shoulder and collarbone to offset any stodginess. It flows beautifully from the waist and is very forgiving from waist down. Worn with 3-4" heels and had no trouble dancing!

Fit Right In At An Ethnic Wedding
This dress held its own during an event prior to a close friend's opulent ethnic wedding - colorful, flowy, and interesting while still being conservative enough to appease the older crowd. I even got a compliment from the groom! I have a slim pear shape with size 6 hips and a size 4 chest, and the size 6 fit really well in both spots. I had to mind the center fabric split a few times when sitting down, but otherwise this dress is low maintenance. Would definitely rent again!

Truly incredible dress
I am a 34A size 4 from the waist up and 6 from the waist down, and this dress flattered everything! The neckline highlights strong shoulders and the angled paneling shapes your waist; the flowy panels on the bottom give the dress great movement while concealing any problem areas. A little edgy and a little romantic - I would buy this dress in a heartbeat!

Gorgeous low-maintenance dress!
This dress made my NYE about as low-maintenance as it's ever been! I'm 5'7" and the dress hit me about 2" above the knee. Wore a racerback bra and dangly earrings and was able to line-dance for hours. I didn't have any problems with the slip peeking out like some other reviewers did. Appropriate for a (very) active, family-friendly event.

Flexible, elegant
This dress was perfect for a semi-formal, dancing-filled family event. I am pear-shaped; although the 6 gave me more room at the waistband, which has no elasticity, the 4 fit my smaller upper body better. The racerback-like cut shows off shoulders and the full skirt leaves lots of room for dancing. Bonus: deep pockets, which held my phone securely during an hour of line dancing. I wore a comfortable racerback bra and added some flair with an airy statement necklace. My fiance kept asking me why I hadn't bought it yet!

Great little LBD! For those who are curvy on the bottom, make sure you're comfortable putting those curves on display, because this dress looks best when fitted. That being said, the dramatic neckline balanced out my hips really nicely and my fiance couldn't stop saying how gorgeous I looked!
