Beautiful dress!!
I picked this dress a few months before the wedding....and before I found out I would be 14 weeks pregnant, so I was really nervous that the dress wouldn't fit with my newly acquired bump. Cynthia Rowley tends to run small on me anyways, but I was still able to wear the backup size 8. The dress itself is GORGEOUS; I got compliments from random strangers all night. The material is beautiful and the style is fun and very forgicing. I am quite short so I liked the length, however I did have to taken extra care to not bend over or else I would've definitely flashed the crowd. If you have a larger bust or don't want to be overly revealing, this dress may not be for you, my husband definitely commented on my "assets" up top and I would've been uncomfortable if I was any larger in the bust. My only beef with the dress was the horrible zipper; it literally took 2 people plus me to get it to work. Overall though, a very fun rental and I would recommend it!

Cute, comfy romper!
I really loved this romper even more in person than in pictures. It was the perfect thing for an active bachelorette weekend in Asheville: comfortable for our pedal wagon beer tour but still cute enough to go out in later. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I felt it made my mid-section looks but poochy, but I did really like it.

Fun and summery
This rental was a last minute pick that I wore for a small family party celebrating my recent wedding. I was a bit nervous for the eyelet sides and back, but I absolutely loved it. The dress was perfect for a lakeshore summer party and the eyelet back kept it from being too preppy or boring. I didn't have to wear a bra (LOVE!) and I can't imagine what type of a bra you could get to work with this as the back and sides would show any bra. This is the first RTR I've wanted to purchase, and will definitely rent it again!

Loved the ombre!
This dress seemed like so many things I would love: peach ombre, lace, fitted, etc. The dress itself is very very beautiful, it just didn't look as great on me as I would have liked (to the extent that I don't know if I have any photos in it); it was a bit snug on the sides, but I am more apple-shaped than pear-shaped. It also ran a bit longer on me than on the model, but it wasn't too terribly long. I think it would be perfect as a Derby day dress.

Perfect for our small wedding!
Everyone was so intrigued with this book/purse! The purse itself is on the small side, so if you (like me) need to have more than one lipstick or lipgloss with you at all times, it might be a tight squeeze. However, it was soooo worth it! It is obviously a high-quality clutch and it went perfectly with everything on my big day! I actually used it a few days prior just because I loved it so much! Very cool piece, perfect for the bride-to-be!

I rented the gold and silver bangles for a bachelorette weekend in Chicago. Both sets got plenty of use! So cute and sparkly! Good deal for the price!

Perfect bling at a great price!
These earrings looked amazing with my RTR dress and gold cuff, plus you can't beat the price! I liked these much more than I thought I would, and would definitely rent again with the right dress.

Just so-so...
I don't think I even have a picture of me in the dress. It wasn't terrible and looked appropriate for Sunday brunch at the RL in Chicago, I just wasn't blown away. It looked cute enough with nude pumps and gold jewelry, just not my most fave rental.

Beautiful!!
This was the best picture I could find, and it doesn't do the bracelet justice! I rented this to wear with a pouffy dress for a black tie wedding; it reminded me of a corsage. I LOVED this bracelet, my only concern was the flowers seemed as if they needed to be resoddered as they were a bit loose. However, an absolutely gorgeous piece overall, I would wear it again in a heartbeat!

I felt like a princess!!!
This one is now my most favorite rental yet, and it was definitely my fiancé's favorite too! This was very flattering on me, and I imagine it would be flattering on many different body types. The dress itself is sooooo comfy, I didn't want to take it off! I'm quite short so I had no problems with the length. The color is beautiful, especially against the nude tulle. I paired it with gold accessories and heels, but it could look great with nude heels, too.

My absolute favorite rental yet!!!
This is, hands down, my absolute favorite rental from RTR yet!!! I rented this from the new store in Chicago to wear to dinner for my fiancé 's birthday. I wanted something unique and funky but also something that made me look hot. This totally fit the bill. The pattern on the dress is way better than it looks in the photos, plus it's soooo comfy. I can't ever go without a bra, but I sure could in this dress!! I would buy this one in a heartbeat!!!!

Looked great on everyone...except me, lol!
The next size up was not available so I rented this for a girls' weekend and prayed. Unfortunately, the dress did NOT look good on me, but it looked awesome on my sister and our best friend! Even though they have completely different body types, the dress looked amazing on both of them. With different shoes and jewelry, it didn't even look like the same dress! I'd say if you have a slightly pouchy midsection like I do, this dress may not be very complimentary.

Awesome, versatile piece!
This necklace is gorgeous! I rented it for a bachelorette weekend in Chicago and it got plenty of use! My sister wore it one night, I wore it the next night and then to Sunday brunch. Everyone kept telling me that I needed to buy it. The only issue was a few of the little rhinestones had come off during shipping, however it wasn't noticeable.

Great dress!
I really liked this dress a lot. I wore the size 4 because the zipper on the 6 was broken beyond my ability to fix it. I had already planned on wearing spanx and the 4 did fit, albeit a little snuggly. I thought the dress was even better looking in person and I got a lot of compliments from my friends. The dress is short, but so am I and I liked that it showed off my legs. Definitely a winner!

Love this romper!!
This is the second time I have rented this romper in 2 weeks, so obviously I love it! The first time was for a bachelorette weekend. My fiancé kept telling me how beautiful I looked in the pictures so I rented it for his birthday weekend in Chicago. This romper is so beautiful on, AND comfy! You could dress it down with the right flats or really go all out with some blingy jewelry; I wore simple patent leather heels and a cropped jacket. I totally want to buy this one!

Still getting compliments weeks later!
First RTR rental, I'm hooked. I wore this for an American Heart Association gala and it was perfect for the occasion. The dress was very comfortable and flattering. There didn't seem to be a difference between the 6 and 8, except that the 6 was in better condition, so I obviously went with the 6. Very happy overall and looking forward to my next rental!
