Cleavage and short
A little too much of both ends for me-this had shoulder pads a la Melanie Griffith from the 80s which had to come out-they were awful. But a cute jumper with some adjustments.

Rented his to take my clinical boards in, this is probably the 3-4th Theia dress I've rented and the fit and designer work well for me: often small with flare skirts and pockets. Another great rental!

So pretty and flowy!
Another dress I had been waiting to rent from RTR forever! Got it in a 2p rather than 0P just to snag it. Got a little big but overall ok. The problem was the petite length was still about 3" long on me in flats at 5'2" and I would have preferred not to wear heels so j didn't. I was pulling the skirt fabric up all day and it was getting caught in my Chairs all day as I wore it to work. Gorgeous dress though, lots of compliments.

This is a showstopper. Boyfriend LOVED it, it was super comfortable and with a jacket j got away with it at work. It has pockets and the material is stretchy. It is difficult to use the ladies room so be prepared, but it is an awesome outfit and accessories are key to where you wear it!

Beauty queen barbies!
Rented for a beauty pageant so I could look decent since my bestie is a former Miss everything. Wanted something that was a bit more posh instead of glitzy and I LOVE Theia. This was a semi mermaid gown and I'm shocked that the regular length fit me height wise (in heels) 5'2" with 4 inch heels was perfect so if you are taller than that get the long. This wasn't super tight in my butt but I'm small in the rear so if you are bigger booty you may actually like he fit better.

I had been waiting to rent this dress forever. It was always reserved I contemplated buying it. Got it finally in November when people stop reserving florals. It's every bit as gorgeous as the pictures with gorgeous fabric, colors and of course my fave pockets!

This was a dress I ended up wearing to work but it ended up being a smudge too dressy and it would have made a lively winter cocktail dress. It has gorgeous long sleeves, a hint of shine, and pockets!

Usually euro sizes run large, but this was huge on me and was falling off. The fabric was really thin and was almost see through and made it almost NSFW.

Glitter :D
This is a gorgeous rose and pink dress. It's a tad bit "heavy" if you will, since the fabric is very sweater like. The picture is misleading here, since the dress I got was a V neck and I had to watch myself at work to make sure I wouldn't have too much cleavage. It's not a scoop neck dress. The glitter on it that makes the dress sparkle is really what makes the dress shine though, but it's not a lightweight dress or doesn't have pockets. But it's a delight to wear.

Elegant, kind of "Christmas-y"
This brand actually fits me well. Their zero fits like a zero and not a LARGE or vanity sized zero. I love the flared hems and this was no exception. This would be a gorgeous green to rent for a holiday party, I actually was surprised at how much I liked this dress. The back cutout was actually really pretty as well. I received this dress even with tags on it, can't beat that.

Too big for me/replacement-but great dress
This dress being an Herve was HUGE on me. It wasn't nearly as worn as some other Herve RTRs I've gotten in the past, but the cut was big and I really needed the XXS which this doesn't come in to get that gorgeous suck you in Spanx effect. This hung on me like a regular dress and I was a little disappointed. I don't have boobs so the plunge didn't work well but Herve dresses are all about the rear. I loved the color of this but this one was not the best for me.

Gorgeous, flowing back!
I have loved every Allison Parris dress I have rented. The signature detail on almost all of them has been a gold zipper that goes down to the bottom of the dress. This was no exception. This dress is elegant enough to wear to a formal event, yet classic enough to wear to work as I did. The black fabric wasn't shiny so it wasn't overdone. The fabric lays beautifully in the back almost like a train, and it is a high low and the skirt has a gorgeous flare making your waist look super small. I LOVED this dress. Wish it had pockets as I'm getting accustomed to them in dresses, and I wish she had more colors in this!

Boyfriend lived this so much as I was dropping it off/taking it off after brunch that he said YOU HAVE TO WEAR THAT AGAIN FOR ME. So I did. Perfect little shortie romper and the color makes it look like you're tanner than you are. Pockets make it easy and this thing gives me legs I don't have. Love.

Large fit with boning in bust
This dress made me feel awkward. It was huge and the bust dipped way too low with awkward boning that didn't sit right, and just maybe look large all over. The dress was too big and didn't hit at my natural waist so it just hung strange. and just made me look boxier than I already am. It just made me feel big, didn't fit me correctly, and was just too large for me. Not a favorite for petite girls.

Birthday with mama :)
I waited around for the stress to be to become available in my size, and it was totally worth the wait. I love the way it fit on me, and the pockets for a wonderful surprise. A white dress with flowers is a lovely way to end the summer, and spend my pre-birthday in with my mom and my grandma in Fort Lauderdale. I got so many compliments on the stress in person and in the picture that I posted I would totally ruin this again. Another amazing Kate Spade!

I love E&J dresses. This was modest enough for work without a bunch of cutouts and the color is a gorgeous navy. The skirt is their signature asymmetric and the skirt is a really flattering flare. I love this cut but it would be just about perfect if it had pockets-I am getting accustomed to that in flare dresses!

Another AMAZING Herve!
This brand is astonishing. This one ran long on me-honestly the 2 yellow bands on the bottom could have been cut off and the dress would have been totally better IMO. The dress was more of a midi with the yellow and the yellow didn't really go with the blue, and since it sat at a weird spot on me, I took fashion tape and made a makeshift hem. Then it sat at my knees and was much easier to walk in, as well as all blue. The back of this has just a perfect V which isn't too much, but the front is modest. This is actually more easy to zip up yourself for Herve dresses because of that. No issues with moving arms here either. Wore this to work with a jacket on but it would be amazing to wear out as well. LOVE.

This designer runs HUGE. This dress was a gorgeous color, and had pockets which was lovely. It did make me look large and the fabric was not my favorite. Don't know if I would rent this designer again as it doesn't fit me well.

This dress is one that has been in RTR rotation for a while and it shows. It's not unwearable but it's not the newest dress either. It is super fun and flirty but it also pulled really short on me-be careful!

This dress is all sequin, so really heavy, and not itchy surprisingly. It is supported by the bust so size accordingly, ie one down unless you want to do the strapless dress dance. It's longer but moves, and I can't wait to wear this to NYE!

Gorgeous but itchy :(
This is a beautiful dress. The back of it has these gorgeous delicate straps which I love, in the lace on the dress is absolutely to die for. It's the perfect little white dress, except for one problem. The two on the bottom managed to wiggle its way into my crotch over the period of the day, multiple multiple times. It got to the point where was so irritating that I almost thought about taking the dress off. However it's too pretty to not.

Very conservative.
This is a very Conservative dress. If I weren't wearing it for work, I would think it would be way too boring to wear to a special event. Neckline has a small cut in the middle with a bow on top, but that's about it. The fabric is very very shiny on top but it doesn't really have that much that special about the dress it's very pretty to wear to work, but for a special event I would want to wear something with a little more pizzazz.

Brand new with tags!
This was a gorgeous dress. Just enough fluff in the skirt to be formal yet conservative if that's what you want it to be, but I pulled it off at work without people raising an eyebrow for being too fancy. He mesh on top does dip down into he cleavage, so keep that in mind and choose your bra and size accordingly. There aren't pockets in this dress which I've learned to like and expect with fuller skirts, so that was a bummerm, but a beautiful dress!

Amazing floral, silky smooth!
This was a dress I honestly considered clicking the "buy" for 30% off retail with my unlimited. It is a GORGEOUS print in a cool colored floral. The XSP was the PERFECT length on me in flats, with a little extra so I could wear heels if I wanted but not so much that I had to carry the hem. I love that the back is open (gorgeous) but also that the straps were adjustable as I can never find straps that are short enough. I wore this braless with "flowers" because you don't have a lot of room otherwise. The only improvement the dress could have would be structured or padded cups to keep you from showing when you GET COLD. Then I would have bought it for sure.

Easy to wear black and white!
This is another great fit and flare by Milly-it's almost the EXACT dress as the "hologram" dress I rented in a different fabric. Down to the exposed zipper, slight racer back, pockets, and fit and flare. Love this dress and its universally flattering too-very TTS and I got a lot of compliments on this one as well. The band around the waist may be a tad tight on some people but I found it to be just fine. Love this as a derby dress or just for everyday!

Hard to send this one back...
This dress is absolutely STUNNING. The fabric is so silky smooth, and it really does look like you stepped out of a Degas painting. The pastel ballet colors are amazing. The bust is a bit tighter, and if you are busty I would size up two since it's a cowl neck style and you don't want to flags anyone. I wore my typical 0 but this was the first RTR in a while where it wasn't huge. I loved the delicate flare of the skirt on this and the straps were a perfect thickness too. Really didn't want to send this one back! :(

This dress is a head turner. Just enough cutout so it's interesting, and the open/tie back is perfect. The flare skirt with the lace makes it interesting and sexy but not over the top. Will totally rent again-got a lot of attention wearing this.

I actually got away with this at work!
This dress, like most, even in the smallest size, had a good amount of room to breathe on me. I loved the sheer panels of mesh on it which made it a tad bit edgy, yet the neckline was high enough and the hem was long enough to wear to work. Here's the kicker. You can't wear a bra unless you're okay with it showing. The mesh gives it away completely. So I taped the ladies down and off to work I go. My building is warm anyway and I have a lab coat to help me out, so it was an awesome dress!

Gorgeous color!
Evidently this color seems to follow me. I have rented three of this color dress from RTR, but they are all gorgeous. This is my favorite. The length on this is appropriate enough on me to wear to work (without tugging at the hem constantly) and the asymmetric hem makes it sexy enough to wear out. The cut of the neck makes it HOT but I wear a lab coat so that didn't show, so for me it went day to night perfectly because of the high collar. LOVE this dress and the fact that E&J Make it in about 7 colors makes me so happy. Will rent in all the other colors!!!

Gorgeous lace, runs HUGE.
This dress runs easily 2 sizes large. Wore the 0 to work, but the semi-open back was almost exposing me and my bra because the dress was easily so big that I had a good 5-6 inches of fabric on the side that needed to be taken in. This was labeled as a 0 but by no means did it fit like one. The color and lace were gorgeous, the dress was beautiful, and the fabric was soft, but the dress for me was almost unwearable.

The color and cut!
This is a showstopper dress. It's one of those that makes me look like a Barbie doll which I love. The cutouts are sexy but not trashy, and the length was perfect so that it wasn't too short and balanced out the look of the dress. The high neckline also balances it out. The exposed zipper also makes a nice touch. If you have any side tattoos it highlights them well. Girls-this is definitely a booty dress-size up if you are gifted in the rear. I'm not, but this dress makes it looks like I have one! Which I love! It was awesome, love the dress.

A million compliments!
This dress has gotten me more compliments than any other dress I have worn to work from RTR. Maybe it was because I spilled coffee on my lab coat and the dress was more visible, maybe it was the iridescence of it. Maybe it was the blue color that "brought out my eyes" according to 3 of my patients. Either way, this dress was so easy to wear, had a beautiful open back (but modest), and a perfect length for work or a party. It didn't have pockets which is me being spoiled but a lot of flare dresses do now and that's me being picky! Love this dress, will rent again for sure!!

Getting called the most gorgeous girl at the event!
Rented this dress ahead of time for a Gatsby-themed formal event. The skirt was a tad too puffy for my taste for it to be in theme, but I got more compliments than anyone else at this event! The 0R was a good length on me with 4 inch heels on me and I am about 5'2". Taller ladies will definitely need the long, but I appreciate the fact that there are gowns for shorter girls I don't have to drag!! Mine did have a teeny tiny tear in the tulle :( Also the mesh at the top was a bit uncomfortable as the night went on, all the weight of the dress bears on it and it gets heavy and pulls on your shoulders. Other than that, the detail in this gown is TO DIE FOR. The color is a gorgeous nude/champagne, it actually washed me out a tad because I'm so blonde and my tan is a tad faded at the moment. The skirt is a bit puffier than I would prefer, it would be easier to dance in with more of a chiffon bottom that moves more, but what can you do. Actually got asked by several people at the venue whether I had just gotten married! Due to the increase in non-white wedding gowns, this could absolutely work. Would rent again in a heartbeat.
