Great dress & bump friendly
The color on this dress is fabulous (though my little girl said I looked like Queen Elsa, which of course was meant as a compliment). The dress has very nice beading around the halter neck area so you can dress it up with just earrings and a bracelet. It was comfortable and roomy enough for my large baby bump. I received many compliments at the gala I attended. Though I picked this because I thought it would accommodate my baby belly, I would definitely wear this again when not pregnant.

Very pretty dress
This is a very pretty dress, but it didn't work for me. I really loved everything about it, but I am pregnant, and I didn't have enough space in the rib cage. (I am short so my bump takes up the entire mid section!) I suspected that it wouldn't work, but it was so pretty that I decided to take a chance. (My other choice worked perfectly though!)

Very pretty & bump friendly
I got this with my unlimited membership to wear to work and everyday. It's very pretty and roomy enough for my large baby bump. Lots of compliments. I almost bought this one.

Cute and works with baby bump
The fabric on this dress is really nice, and the color was very flattering. I received many compliments on it. It's very roomy, which worked out well for me since I have a very large baby bump. I was very tempted to buy this one. Not sure how it would have looked on me if I weren't pregnant so in the end I opted not to buy, but it was perfect for date night and girls night out (for my current body!).

This dress is really pretty. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size so it didn't work for me.

Loved this jacket
I received this jacket as part of my unlimited membership and ended up keeping it for the better part of three months. It was a perfect piece to help me transition from my regular clothes to a maternity wardrobe and helped to hide my bump until I was ready to share the news at work.

Great dress but didn't work for me
Under normal circumstances, this would have been a great dress. The fabric is very nice, and it's just a great classic style. However, I am pregnant and have a pretty large baby bump, and I was worried that the wrap wasn't secure enough given the size of my belly.

Cute dress
I got this dress with my unlimited membership. It's very large, which worked well for me because I am pregnant and have a rather large bump. I wore it to work with a jacket and boots and out to dinner with heels, a sweater, and a belt to highlight my belly. It's a great pregnancy dress, but I can't imagine wearing it under normal circumstances because it's so big.

Beautiful dress
This dress is beautiful. It's loose and comfortable, and the fabric drapes nicely. I rented my normal size and had plenty of room for my large baby bump. I felt beautiful, and I received compliments all day. In the end, I couldn't part with it and had to buy.

Not for me
Something about the fit was just off for me. I think it would work better on someone who is a bit taller.

Pretty dress
I received this dress with my Unlimited membership. I wore it for dinner with my husband and plan to wear it again to work before I send it back. It's very pretty and easy to wear. The fabric is nice. There were a couple small spots on it (tiny dots), but they blended into the pattern of the fabric and weren't noticable.

Love this dress
This is a great dress. The fabric is beautiful--floral with a square-patterned texture that just gives more interest to the dress. The dress fit me perfectly and was flattering on my curvy frame. I wore it to work, but it could work for casual date night or brunch with the girls...

Cute but not for me
This is a really cute dress, perfect for work. I really liked it, but the fit wasn't quite right for me. I have a short torso, and the top was a bit too big, which made it bunchy. I would recommend for someone who is a bit taller or who has a more average-length torso.

Not for me.
This dress was a replacement for a dress that wasn't available to ship. It's probably ok for someone who is very tall. It was weirdly long overall (the pockets were almost at my knees), and the straps were just too long for my petite frame. I was able to use dress tape to help hold it up (and I wore a denim jacket) so I could make it work. That said, the back is really cute and the fabric has a nice feel to it. If you're into long, loose dresses, this could be a good pick.

Beautiful but runs very small
This dress was a replacement for a dress that wasn't available to ship. It's a beautiful dress, and I was very excited to get it as a replacement. Unfortunately it runs very small so it didn't fit--not even close. It would have been a stunning choice, but be very careful with the sizing. EDIT--I just looked back at others' reviews and realized this dress uses UK sizing. That would explain why the dress that RTR sent was so small. Bummer.

Very sexy, fun dress.
This is a very flattering dress. It's sexy--I was showing a lot more cleavage than I am used to, but my husband liked it. I wore a NuBra with it, but you could go without a bra. The halter-tie neck makes it supportive enough even for larger ladies.

Something different.
I really liked this dress--the colorful, fun pattern is different from what I would normally wear. It is shorter than I normally wear but not TOO short. It was just what I was looking for to wear for my birthday dinner with my husband. I wore a backless bra (ordered from RTR), and that worked well.

Fun
I just added this to my order at the last minute. It was a little more bling than the picture shows, but it's pretty and fun. Since the dress I ordered didn't fit it turned out to be the only RTR thing I had to wear to my party. It made the black (thrown-together substitute outfit from my closet) a little more special.

The dress is very cute on the hanger. Unfortunately the dress was too tight for me to wear.
This was my second order, and I was pretty disappointed. I ordered this dress in a medium and a large, and both dresses had the size tag removed. The two dresses appeared to be exactly the same size (when held up to one another and when tried on). The dress was unflatteringly tight; I felt like a sausage. I don't know which size I received--for the sake of my self-esteem hopefully they were both medium! The fabric was strangely thick, but if the dress had been a better fit size-wise I would have worn it. The pattern and cut is cute (other than the fact it was too small on me), and I think it would have been comfortable.

Perfect
This dress is stunning AND easy to wear. The top has the right amount of sparkle. The low back makes it pretty from behind, too. And it has pockets!

Very flattering.
I didn't actually wear this because I ordered it as a backup. It was a tough call which one to wear. The dress fit really well and looked beautiful. It was hard to zip up; the zipper sticks. However, once it's zipped its very comfortable! I would rent this again because (despite how much I liked my other choice) I'm sad I didn't get to wear this out.
