Cute shirt for 3rd trimester
I rented this shirt during month 4 of pregnancy and it was huge. I returned without wearing, but will likely rent once I'm further along in pregnancy.

Tight fit for large bust and shoulders
Very sad that couldn't get this dress over my chest. Pregnancy increases my cup size from a D to an H, I don't recommend this dress for curvy people.

So nice I've rented it twice!
I rented this dress last year for my brother's Navy promotion ceremony and again to a friends wedding. Great dress!! Good for hourglass figures, plus it has pockets!!

Beyoncé worthy outfit.
I rented this amazing jumpsuit for a Beyoncé concert. It was so comfortable and fabulous. Definitely worthy of Queen Bey! Great for hourglass figure. The whaleboning on the sides do their job well. No adjusting while dancing! Also, I'm a 34DD and didn't have to wear a bra.

Much shorter then I expected.
This jumpsuit is super glam and fit really well. I ended up not wearing it because it was WAY too short, I selected the 10R by mistake. I'm 5'8" and the pant legs barely made it to my ankles.

Fun dress for NYE
What a fun dress! I wore this as a hostess dress for a NYE party. Very comfortable, not a show stopper, but a great fun party dress. Nanette Lapore's dresses are always fun with just enough uniqueness to them to make the dress stand out. Slight a-line is good for those with larger hips/booty. I am a 36DD and my boobs were a little squished so I switched to a super push up bra which solved the problem.

Rent this, you won't regret it.
This jumpsuit is amazing. Extremely comfortable, with great lines and movement created for dancing the night away. The bodice has boning that held the jumpsuit up perfectly (no adjusting all night). This also meant that I was able to wear it without a bra, I did try it on with one so it will work either way. It also has pockets for stashing some cash and your ID. I wore this for my birthday party and felt super glamorous all night long. The material is light to medium weight and will be perfect for late summer-fall events. Great outfit!!

Perfect relaxed party dress.
Great dress, perfect for the tiki themed party I attended. I'm wearing the large in the photo. I liked the way the medium fit better, but it was a little too small in the chest (34 DD). Normally a little tight in the chest area isn't a problem but it created a gap in the back of the dress (due to the way it fastens). Love the adjustable straps and pockets! The slits on the sides make the dress so much more fun then your usual maxi dress, and help to keep you cool. This was a more casual party so wore regular kicks, but this dress could be glammed up with heels and jewelry easily. The tie for the dress is attached, which was unfortunate because I had a different belt that I wanted to wear. Overall: great dress.

Great dress!
Very small fit if you have a larger chest and/or rib cage. I'd worn this designer before and knew it would be tight in that area so didn't even bother ordering the 8 or 10 (my usual dress sizes). I started by ordering the regular length because the reviews said that it ran long, but it ended up being 3 inches too short. RTR was able to send my a replacement dress in long. In the picture I'm wearing flats and the dress is just hitting the floor (I'm 5'8"). Super comfortable and flattering dress, I wore it for over 12 hours and have zero complaints. As other uses mentioned the lace on the side did pucker, oddly enough it didn't pucker on the 12R. I would highly recommend this dress for any formal occasion!

Great date night dress!
Loved, loved, loved this dress. The removable back panel is genius and allows you to wear a bra with the dress. I decided to remove the panel and wear a nu bra in order to make most of the fabulous back. The structure of dress also provides support for busty ladies like myself. Nanette Lapore's dresses always have great lines and are extremely well made. This was the perfect dress for a fancy date night with my fella. Perfect for highlighting a hourglass figure. I've rented a lot of dresses from RTR and this one is probably my favorite!!

I wore this dress for my bachellorette party. The dress is super sexy, but still classy and made for dancing the night away. Plus it has pockets which are essential for any girls night out.

I rented these earrings to add some bling to my sari ensemble for a wedding. The clip ons were super comfortable and very secure. I received tons of compliments, the picture doesn't to justice for how fabulous these earrings are.

Beach Formal Fabulous
Dress was a huge success and I received loads of compliments all night. The colors are more vibrant than in the photo. I was worried that the gold and silver threading would be too gaudy, but it was perfect. I wore a slip since the material is a little sheer. I also tacked the 4" "keyhole" slit shut since it was a little too revealing for a swanky beach formal affair.

Watch out! Hot dress coming through!!
This dress is very sexy. It was a little too sexy for the event I was going too, so I ended up not wearing it out. Perfect for a night in the club or going out in Vegas. The dress is stretchy and hugs all if curves while hiding any bumps. Confidence is needed to pull this dress off!

Dance the night away!
I rented this dress for my wedding reception. I don't have any good pics because I couldn't stay still long enough to take one. This dress is AMAZING! I was complimented all night on how great it looked. The dress is fflowy and the side slit adds just the right amount of sexiness to this fantastic gown. I wish that I could have kept it forever. Renters caution- I got to try this dress on at the showroom before renting. I have a larger ribcage and am a 34 DD. I sized up the dress because it runs a bit small in the ribcage, but then it was large in the bust. Nothing a little fashion tape couldn't fix, but you'll want to be prepared.

Glam up game night!
I rented these earrings to glam up my Fiday night basketball game outfit. I don't have pierced ears and large jewlery isn't really my style but these were too much fun to resist! They were a little bit bigger than I expected which means they are a little heavy (my ear lobes hurt a bit by the end of the night). All of that aside, they added a great touch to my jersey & skinny jean outfit and would definitely rent them again for a night out! Also they must have a little luck in them, the Nets won by 1 point!

Belle of the Ball
This is a very pretty ball gown. I rented it as an add on to another order just to try on for fun/potential future dress. It was much prettier than I expected and the gold in the dress makes it very unique. There is a back panel that is partially see through, so your strapless bra will show if you choose to wear one. The upside of the see through back panel is that it's stretchy so the dress fits nicely no matter your size. I would definitely reccomend this dress for a formal occasion.

Flowy & Pretty
I rented this dress as a try on for a potential wedding dress, and it came in at a close second for being THE dress. Dress has a beautiful flow and you can easily wear a bra underneath. It is a little low cut for my taste, I'm a 34 D and the way the dress is designed I looked very busty. Sorry no pictures, the zipper broke while I was trying it on (thank goodness for the dress insurance!).

Pretty dress for small booties!
I rented this gown as a try on for a potential wedding dress. It's very pretty, but the construction of the dress is not for curvier ladies. The under part of the gown is very tight and stretchy and is attached to the over gown material at the zipper. This can cause a weird puckering at the bottom of the zipper if the under-gown is too tight. I wouldn't want to go a size bigger because it would be too large in the chest. On a positive note, the dress is beautiful, the picture doesn't do the gold sequin work justice. The dress will look great on straight and narrow, or large on top small on the bottom ladies.

Cute but VERY short!
I rented this dress for a New Years party that I was hosting. It was very cute, but I'm 5'8" and have a booty which made the dress VERY short. This wouldn't have been a problem if I just had to stand and sit, but as a hostess you're always running around which made the dress a little unfunctional for the evening. (Sorry for not having photos - they all came out blurry).

Classy Fun Bangles
I rented these along with a black lacy dress for a holiday party. I loved them so much that I wore them all four days of the rental period. One down side is that the bangles are all connected by a chain, so you have to wear all five at once and you can't switch up the order.

Classy dress.
I rented this dress for my boyfriends holiday party. I needed something conservative, but still fun, and this dress fit the bill. The dress was true size and has some stretch. I received compliments all night long.

Awesome party dress!
This dress was great and I received compliments on it all night long. It has a little strech to it so it's easy move around and super comfortable. I wore spanx to smooth everything out, but the dress is very flattering with rouching over the stomach area to hide any little flaws. Bonus - the black side panneling is extremely slimming!
