Backstreets Back!
Wore this to the BSB concert at The Sphere. Loved it! Lightweight and fun - I danced all night! I think it would be a little sheer for daytime - so grab those spanx.

This fabric shows every mark
It fits well, sorry if pressing in on the neck which is a pet peeve of mine. The real problem with this dress is that it shows every single grease/dirt/“ I don’t even know how that got there” spot. This dress is for people who don’t have kids.

Versatile but Very unflattering
This piece accentuated every part of my body that I do not love, and was surprisingly unforgiving on the tummy for how baggy it is. I wore it as an overalls with a T-shirt under it, with nothing under it, and with a sweater over it. Easy and lightweight for every day, but probably will not rent this one again.

Light and stretchy
This is not my normal style at ALL but I was like ... hey it's Hawaii. Why not!? This was really flatting and beautiful and flowey. I was afraid it was meant for people with bigger boobs and I would get those saggy armpits I tend to wind up with so often. But my little girls were just fine.

I hope you hate breathing!
Cute dress but that dress is a real missed opportunity for a stretchy back. My rib bones were muffin topping over the waist. Couldn't breathe and didn't wear.

Tuck in or out - slimming and perfectly tailored
I LOVED this one. It was lovely to touch. The length was long enough to tuck in but so fashionable when untucked. I would def. rent this one again!

I was a flowing Grecian goddess
I am pretty small in my shoulders/collarbone, and this dress was pretty big for me. Even with 4 inch platform heels It dragged on the ground. That said, this dress was beaaaaaaitiful. So flowey and light!!!

Very comfortable and stylish. Hides the bulge.
This is great, stretchy. Don't bend forward, or everyone will see your goodies.

Fabulous construction/a little matronly
This dress was just...so elegant and well structured. I definitely felt fancy like a wedding dress almost. This was my backup and I didn't end up wearing because it did make me feel a bit matronly. I think this would be the PERFECT mother of the bride/groom dress, though.

So small on the waist - didn't wear
That's about it. I'm not a big lady by any means but the waist would only work on really tiny people. The dress has buttons down the front and no give at all.

Great for dancing - wear a strapless if you have small boobs
The title says it! The fabric was a little silky, a little stretchy and it hid any pooch. You would have to have a very specific and perky boob situation to pull this one off without a bra but it worked great with a strapless!

I felt like Kate Middleton
This was the most amazing and elegant dress of all time. The waist doesn't have any give but it lands above 'the pooch' and ruffles hid the rest of the problem area so it was all good. This dress doesn't have a lot of give so I wouldn't recommend it for dancing. Plus...you'd probably get HOT. That said it is the PERFECT stand around and drink wine cocktail dress...especially for an outdoor function that could get chilly.

For people with no rib cage!
This dress is a very lightweight material and very bridesmaid-ey. Of the five size 2 dresses I tried for the event, this is the only one that I could not zip up over my rib cage. There is absolutely no give around the middle, so make sure to be thoughtful about your back up size!

Tight on top but AWESOME
I wore this to my HS reunion. It was SO FUN!!!!! This would be great for a wedding, too. Ultra bump-friendly. It was pretty tight on top, though. It does that thing where the zipper is SUPER hard to get over the seam. I couldn't actually get it on myself (I couldn't even put it on backwards and spin it around), my husband had to do it for me. If you are big on top, this may not be the best for you. But still...fun and flirty and sassy and great.

Tight on top
I've never thought my boobs were too big for something and I've never thought my torso was too long for an outfit but there you go! This was the backup to my backup, so I'm not complaining, but this one was just so-so and it was a real missed opportunity for pockets! The big pluses of this one was A) bump friendly B) easy to breastfeed C) great color and material D) photographs great

NOT bump friendly
This just didn't work. The waist hit higher on me than it did on the model so I looked almost a little pregnant with an empire waist vibe. NO THANK YOU. RTR customer service was awesome though. They had the replacement in time and it was AWESOME.

Be your own disco ball!
This dress was amazing! Really thick and sturdy and surprisingly un-itchy for a sequin dress. I could wear it with a regular bra which is great for dancing. Wonderful dress....I would totally rent it again if there weren't 400 other dresses I wanted to try!

Brilliant color & perfect for dancing!
True story: I was walking between the wedding and the reception and a table full of girls stopped me and made me 360 the dress. Day. Made. <br> It is the PERFECT 'dance like a maniac dress.' It's stretchy enough for comfortable (aggressive) dancing and thick enough that you probably won't sweat through it! You can wear a regular bra and there is zero possibility of a nip slip as you dance the night away! The dress is a fabulous blood orange color and the gold cross is actually a ribbon sewn onto the dress. The ribbon is black with a lot of gold thread, so don't be afraid to accessorize with black! The material is nice and thick and perfectly stretchy - just enough to help suck you in but not so stretchy that it would reveal unsightly underwear (or spanx) lines. The fabric has a really nice texture (again, great for hiding unsightly undergarment lines) and well placed darts that you couldn't really see in the photos. I'm usually a 2 but I ended up wearing the 0 so I'm glad I sized down. Beautiful dress! Everyone (including Facebook comments) loved it!

STUNNING and large. Just a lil' heavy.
I rented them to wear with the Pharaoh Sheath dress, but they turned out to be a little pinker than orange/gold, so my mom wore them with her purple dress instead. They were stunning and large. So big and sparkly that you can skip a necklace all together. They're just a little bit on the heavy side, so you should probably skip these if you have saggy lobes.
