Fun Easy Dress!
This dress was so much fun to wear to a summer wedding at a funky museum. Pros: Pockets! Fitted enough that there was no need for a bra. Cons: sequins usually mean mild discomfort, but it really wasn't bad. I LOVED this dress and would definitely wear it again!

Fun Glamorous Print
This dress was incredible. I typically wear a size 2 in RTR but I was about 6 months post partum and breastfeeding so I wore the size 4 which fit snugly. As you can see, the girls were on full display, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing! I did not need a bra- the dress was supportive enough without one. I received compliments upon compliments- someone actually thought the dress was made specifically for me. Pros: snug and poured into feel, pockets, peek-a-boo sides. Possible cons: lots of emphasis on the bust (but keep in mind I was breastfeeding so they were much larger than normal) the peek-a-boo sides made it difficult to hide the hanger ribbons (not that much of a con, I have to say!). The dress was a little longer than I thought it would be but I am 5'5" so it looked fine to me. I think it might swallow up a shorter frame. All in all, I loved it and it was perfect for the occasion.

Perfect for a Black Tie Spring Wedding
I was worried about this dress (and any dress) because I was 2 months postpartum and breastfeeding. My boobs are big to begin with and breastfeeding had made them gargantuan in size: I'm talking 32 G and H here people. However, this dress fit snugly and was supportive enough on my massive bosom that I didn't need a bra! It was a bit long but I was planning on wearing 3 inch heels anyway. I loved the pockets and the slits, I danced the night away and received so many compliments! It was mommy's first night out post baby and the dress rocked it. I would highly recommend it!

So fabulous and chic!
I LOVED this dress. When I told ppl it was RTR they were disappointed bc it meant they couldn't borrow it from me! PROS: The stretchy fabric and thick straps make it comfortable and flattering. CONS: If you have a chest be prepared to show it off! Not that that's a con, depending on where you arr going, but just something to be aware of. I paired this with a black jacket and booties since it was a bit chilly the night I was going out. But I Loved this dress!

I love PRO
The shipping and insurance coverage some pays for itself almost instantly. Why would you NOT do it if you are a semi frequent renter?!

Not good for girls with a chest
I had a hard time with this dress. There is no give at all so anyone with a chest will probably get a weird shape if they can get it zipped at all. I wound up not being able to wear it.

Classy sexy sparkle
I was so pleased with this dress! I have an ample bosom for how narrow my ribs are so I was happy with the amount of support this stretchy backless dress supported my girls- that's almost unheard of! The lace was a bit itchy at the edges of the dress, not a over, but that is easy to deal with when you see how great you look! My husband didn't want me to return it ;)

Not what I had hoped
I have narrow ribs but am busty and the dress didn't provide enough support. The bust boning was warped and made it look awkward. Since the fit wasn't right, I called RTR and had them overnight me another dress.

Fun, flirty party dress!
I LOVED this dress! The color and the cut are so flattering. It was a bit tight in the bust- but I am busty for my frame so it was just all the more support. I may have even gone bra-less, I can't remember, but if I did, there was enough support that it wasn't a problem. It was a little tight around the arms, but again, the added support was nice. I would certainly rent this dress again!

Great dress for and early summer wedding!
I was worried about the fit through the chest since I am fairly busty for my frame, but it fit great! The waist was slightly loose, but I was the only one who noticed. The color is fantastic, even complete strangers were complimenting me on the dress. Major pro: you can wear a regular bra. Slight con: because of the tapered hem, it is slightly constricting for dancing the night away.

Sassy, classy and fun!
I had been waiting for an opportunity to rent this dress and finally had the chance to wear it for my cousin's formal wedding. I ordered the 4R as a backup size, however it was not available- no problem, the 2R fit just great! Pros: the color and style of this dress are wonderful! I received compliments all night. I wore 3" heels and had no problems with the length. Cons: the side without the strap sat a little low, so I used fashion tape to keep it where it needed to be. Loved that I could wear my regular strapless bra with it. I was worried the draping might make me look boxy, but the waist was great. I loved the way it flowed, I very well may rent it again, I had so much fun in it!
