So much prettier in person!
The lace overlay on this dress is STUNNING. The colors are gorgeous and the way the lace floats is so flattering. I wore this to my sister's bridal shower and got so many compliments! It was a great length and I loved the flutter sleeve. I probably could have gotten away without a bra but it was a tiny bit scratchy with the lace so I ended up wearing my regular one. It was comfy enough to wear for 9-10 hours! It definitely looks better in person than in the photos, and I would definitely rent this one again.

Pretty, but a little short for me
This dress is made from thicker, stretchy material and fit TTS. It was comfy, but a little too short and tight for me to wear to the bridal shower I was hoping to use it for. I also felt like it emphasized my belly, which isn't the flattest after two babies! I did not end up wearing it.

Perfect for a bridal shower!
Love this dress! It fit great and I didn't need to wear a bra. Did I mention that IT HAS POCKETS?! The only issue was that the hemline was messed up and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. The underneath layer was longer than the dress on the sides and it was really obvious, so I that is the only reason why I didn't end up wearing it to the shower. I would rent it again if I could figure out the hem issue!

Love this!!
I just had a baby and the fabric and pattern of this dress really helped me feel good on my first night out after my daughter was born 5 weeks ago! The fabric is smoothing and very comfy. Color and pattern are gorgeous. The neckline is pretty low, but the straps have built-in clips so I could wear a bra with it. Definitely recommend this one!

Glittery and gorgeous (but scratchy)
This was a gorgeous dress (and baby bump friendly!), but it was definitely scratchy in the armpit area. I wore a sweater over the top and that was really helpful, but didn't stop the scratching completely. Other than that, this was so sparkly and glittery and pretty! It fit well over my baby bump, but it did bunch a little in the back. The neckline is very low, but you can still wear a bra, and it makes your boobs look awesome!

Love this dress!!
I was a bit nervous when I rented this dress because I've never worn anything with cutouts like this, plus I am three months pregnant so I have a little bit of a bump going. I went ahead with the rental because someone else in the reviews was able to pull it off while pregnant and still looked great. I'M SO GLAD I DID! The dress runs true to size (I ordered an 8 and a 10 and could've worn either, but the 8 made my bump look more like a bump and less like I just ate a burrito because it was slightly tighter in that area). It is made of stretch "scuba" type material that is a little thicker and is flattering. I did wear a bra, but it kept sticking out during the night and I probably didn't need it. It was very comfortable and I felt great all night. Loved it!

Stunning statement necklace!
Loved this necklace. This was sent as a replacement when my first choice was not available (I believe it was broken from a previous rental). I'm so glad RTR sent me this one because it completed my outfit beautifully! I wore it with the Hunter Bell Deep Dive Sheath dress, and it was the perfect size/level of sparkle. It could be dressed up or down depending on what you wear it with. I will definitely be renting this one again!

Bright and fun!
These earrings are so bright and fun! I want to buy them so I can wear them all the time!! You can wear them with pretty much anything (work, wedding, casual or fancy event). I actually didn't end up wearing them to the wedding like I planned because they didn't go with the necklace I wore (I ended up wearing the Kate Spade Imperial Tile necklace without earrings as it is a statement piece), but I really loved these ones!

Sparkly and gorgeous, but very formal
These earrings are gorgeous and sparkly, but were a little too formal for the wedding I was attending. I ended up wearing the Kate Spade Imperial Tile necklace instead (without earrings since it is a statement piece). I may rent them again for a different event, though!

Beautiful color - stands out from the crowd!
Loved the color and style of this dress. I got so many compliments throughout the night! It fit very true to size except the top was slightly too big for me. I couldn't wear a bra with the dress so that was a little annoying as the top was a little loose, but after a little while I didn't notice anymore.

Cute LBD!
I thought for sure I was going to end up wearing this to my 10-year high school reunion, but just in case I got a backup dress (Black Halo Jackie O). The Jackie O made me look HOT, while this dress made me look CUTE. I went with the Jackie O for the reunion, but I might rent this again for something else.

Best rental so far! Amazing LBD!!
I want to buy this one! I actually rented this as a backup for my high school reunion and didn't plan on wearing it because I recently had a baby and am still working on getting my flat tummy back. I was afraid it would make me look fat, but it was very flattering even though my tummy stuck out a little. This dress is very tight so I couldn't wear any Spanx or anything, but it didn't matter. It fit me like a glove, and now I want my own!! One thing I will mention is that I was afraid it would look too business-y, which was not the case. The great thing about this dress is that you could glam it up, dress it up, or make it very professional. Loved it!

Want to buy this one. So comfy and pretty!
I didn't actually rent this dress... I ordered a different one, but the night before it was supposed to be delivered RTR emailed and said the size I needed had been "damaged beyond repair" and they were upgrading me to this one instead. I'm so happy they did! This dress is gorgeous - the color is amazing for spring/summer, the neckline is unique, and the skirt is super flowy. Best of all, this dress felt like you were wearing PJs. SO COMFY. You can dress it up or down based on your hair/earrings, which I loved. As for the length - I received the 8L and it was perfect for flat sandals. It was a little bit too long but I only noticed when I was walking up stairs or something when I had to pick up the skirt so I wouldn't trip on it. I don't think I'd be able to wear this dress with heels. Overall, this is one of my favorites!

So uncomfortable!
I was so excited to rent this dress - I loved the spring floral print. Unfortunately this dress is built for someone with a smaller chest. I ordered an 8 based off of my waist measurement, and when I got the dress it did not fit at all. It completely flattened out my chest with the boning, but was somehow still too large in the waist (see the 2nd and 3rd photos). It was so uncomfortable and unflattering that I couldn't bring myself to wear it :( As far as length goes, I'm 5'9" and the regular length was perfect for flats/sandals. If I wanted to wear a heel I would definitely need the long (but why wear heels when your dress covers them anyway?).

Gorgeous dress, love the pockets, but looks white in photos (don't wear it to a wedding!)
I rented three dresses and planned to wear one to a rehearsal dinner, one to the wedding the next day, and use one as my backup in case the first two didn't fit. Sadly, this one ended up being my backup and I didn't wear it to either event because even though it is definitely yellow in person, it showed up as white in photos and I didn't want to be the girl who wore white to a wedding! Other than that, this dress is so adorable and I am now trying to find an excuse to rent it and wear it (to something besides a wedding). It fit great, and I loved the back and the fact that it has pockets. It was pretty short on me, so be careful sitting down/bending over!

Loved this dress, but I couldn't move my arms all night!
This dress is beautiful and made with quality fabric. I wore it when it was about 60-65 degrees and I was comfortable. The only downside to the dress is that the arms were too tight for me. The pockets also stuck out weird so that it made my hips look kind of pointy. I almost didn't wear it because the arms were so uncomfortable but then decided to just suck it up. I got a ton of compliments, but it definitely prevented any dancing since I couldn't move my arms! I would rent this again, but I would get a bigger size (or do some arm workout first!).

Looked like it had been worn too many times
Didn't end up wearing this one. It was slightly too big and it looked like it had been worn/washed one too many times. I would rent it again in a smaller size if I knew it wasn't going to be worn out though!

Gorgeous!
Love this necklace! It is stunning and can be work dressed up or dressed down. I had planned to wear it to my son's baptism with this dress: https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/shoshanna_dresses/judithdress It would've looked so perfect, but unfortunately for me it arrived missing one of the larger gems so I wasn't able to wear it. I'd definitely spend the extra money on this again though - it is so unique and edgy! I wasn't going to post photos because the necklace was broken, but I figured it might help others see what it looks like up close. (RTR refunded me for the price of the necklace.)

Love this dress!
I got so many compliments on this dress! The color is gorgeous and the shape is great. It was a great dress to wear to a wedding - the skirt is fun to twirl in. You can dress it up or down based on jewelry, which I loved. My widest part are my hips, but the skirt is full on this dress so I would base the size off of your waist/bust.
