Great for a fall wedding.
Loved this dress for a backyard fall wedding. It was out of my comfort zone but I wanted to do something different and absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.

Great Dress!
I did love this dress. All of the reviews are correct. This runs BIG. I am 138, 5’6”, 34B and got the 4 and 6. The 6 was huge. The 4 worked out but the 2 might have been better. It definitely forced me to stand up straight all night, maybe not a bad thing. Fabric was nice and thick but not hot. Packed it in a suitcase for two days, hung it up morning of the event and it was totally fine. Pattern was perfect for the cocktail event I attended and, as always, pockets are amazing. Highly recommend but size down.

Great fit for 6.5 months pregnant!
This dress was great for my 26 week belly. It was flowey and comfy. Felt fancy even when I didn't really feel fancy. Not sure what my weight was during. Probably around 155lb.

Great dress for a December wedding in Florida!
This was absolutely one of my favorite dresses I have rented so far. It was just beautiful and different. The material was thick so there was no need for a bra. I probably should have worn some spanx because you can definitely see any tummy you may have. But the dress is worth it! The green color was great outdoors. Perfect length. No issues with the off the shoulder. Love this dress and may have to buy it.

Great earrings!
These earrings are on the maid of honor on the left. Actually, all three earrings in this picture were RTR! None of them were too heavy and they added just the right amount of glam to the dresses. No necklaces needed!

Great dress for a Fall wedding!
I loved this dress. It was simple and comfortable but I also felt beautiful in it. Pictures do not do the color justice. It is a beautiful emerald green. I read all of the reviews and got an XS and small. They both fit but at the end I wore the small for comfort. It wasn't as tight. However, I had to make sure the sleeveless side of the dress stayed up. The high part of the ruffle hit right below my know. The material was thick but not too thick. This dress was simple, pretty and comfortable.

This was fantastic!
Rented it for my wedding and fell in love with it. So delicate I barely noticed it on my wrist. It matched my earrings, that I also rented, perfectly!

Perfect for an October Florida Beach wedding.
This dress fit great and was super comfy. It had stretch but not too much. I was unsure about the neck line but loved it with an up do. The tea length dress was perfect for an ocean breeze and it was not too hot. You can wear a bra with it but, you don't have too!

I wore this for my engagement photos.
It really is a gorgeous skirt but I thought it would be easier to find a matching top. It took a long rummage through the closet and I was not entirely impressed with my choice. I wore the XS because I wanted it to fit high on my waist and it did. However, it was tough getting the XS over my bum and it was definitely not fitting over my head and shoulders. The details and the color of the skirt are great. I really liked the lace overlay. It photographed beautifully but I did not feel sexy in it. It worked for the occasion but I wouldn't wear it again.

This dress was great. But, I did not wear it.
This dress was really pretty. However, I did not wear it. The two sizes I got were too small. Which actually made the cut outs go a little too far to the front. For me at least. But, the customer service was amazing! It was a Saturday wedding. I received the dresses on Friday around 3:00. Noticing they did not fit, I got on the phone right away. RTR phone lines were down so I jumped online. A customer service rep found me a dress within 20 minutes and it showed up on my door step the next morning at 9:00! I live in FL and could not believe how fast it got there. I am forever a RTR customer!

Loved this dress!
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of this dress. But, it fit great. Had a bit of a stretch to it. Perfect for a Holiday party. Really comfy but super classy at the same time.

Great dress!
It was prefect! The small fit well and was really easy to move in. I did wear a stick on bra that worked perfectly. It was about 45 degrees at the wedding and my blazer and scarf worked fine over the dress. Another great rent the runway experience!

Simple yet elegant.
Wore this to a fall outdoor wedding. The material is thick but not hot at all. I wouldn't have worn a bra but, needed the extra padding. The flare was so pretty and was perfect. It was windy that day but, the dress was heavy enough it didn't blow up at all. I felt great in this dress and loved it. Not to mention it was a back up dress that RTR shipped on a Friday and I had it by 8:30 Saturday morning. They saved the day for me!

Great summer night!
I wore this dress to a summer back yard wedding. It was perfect for the event. Paired it with tan wedges and red clutch. I did have to iron the material underneath the skirt to de-wrinkle it a bit. The top was a little loose but, didn't fall at all. I used a sticky bra I got at target. Just be careful if its windy, I'm glad I had boy shorts on. Overall, great dress.
