Comfortable but conservative

My husband said I looked like a "school marm". The dress was comfortable and flattering but I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Comfortable, casual

This dress was nice to wear to work but it was not a stand out dress. It was comfortable and easy to wear but lacked structure- not the most flattering.

So many compliments

I rented this dress for a Saturday afternoon baby shower and did not want to take it off. The color is stunning and the cut of the dress is super flattering. I always love when dresses have pockets too! The fit of this dress was true to size. It fit well at the natural waist and then flared out with plenty of room in the hips. It was a little tight on me in the sleeves but I was still able to maintain full range of motion, it was just a little annoying at times.

Pretty dress

I rented this dress for work and felt great in it. It is most fitted in the waist area but plenty of room in the hips as arms. I struggled with this dress because even though it was not right, the buttons kept popping open. I wore a full slip underneath and was so glad I did as it came unbutton in the skirt more than once during work meetings. This is not the first time I've had that problem with a rented full button up dress, and suspect it is just due to repeated wear.

Easy to wear

This dress was super fun to wear to work. It was light enough to wear in July but I would not have been comfortable being outside for long stretches of time. The dress benefitted greatly from the addition of a belt. The fit was good, a little in the large size. It is noticeably short, I had to be very careful about raising my arms or it would come up too high. The dress provides very little shape or structure, so if you are looking for defined shape, this may not be the dress for you.

Size up!

I rented this last minute as part of my unlimited membership when an item I originally chose was damaged and since I had this in my heart list I did not read the reviews and ordered a size 12. I fluctuate between a 10&12 depending on the designer and this dress did not fit st all. I definitely need a 14 maybe even a 16. The dress is beautiful made and very structured but has absolutely no give to it. If you have large hips it may not be the dress for you.

Unique dress!

This dress was great for work- different and unique details but still conservative enough for the office. I found this dress to be very comfortable and the fit pretty true to size. The grey top portion has some stretch and was super comfortable- no irritation around the arms. The skirt was light and comfortable. My only complaint would be that this fabric wrinkles VERY easily.

Nice shape

I enjoyed wearing this dress for a casual Saturday. The dress was light and airy and the ruffles added a nice feminine flair. This dress was a little bit too casual to wear to work. It came about mid thigh on me and the arm holes were nice and roomy, which can sometimes be a concern for me. The belt makes a huge difference! I wore this all day with my own belt because I thought they forgot to ship a belt and then found the belt in a zipper pocket when I was packaging for return. Make sure you look for the belt! It makes a huge difference. I would recommend this for a casual weekend event!

Great color

This is a great summer color, very vibrant. I received compliments all day! The dress fit well, pretty true to size. The tightest area on me was in the natural waist, and the loosest in the chest. I did not notice previously that the top section is unlined! If you are planning on wearing this to work be sure you have a camisole to wear under it. This dress is super heavy on the hanger but I did not find it uncomfortable to wear. I only noticed the weight when I was trying to get it all into the driver seat of my car. I did struggle with the buttons of the skirt staying buttons. Probably every half hour or so I had to rebutting two or three of them. The dress was not tight in my hips so I think this was probably just due to wear. If you are renting the size 12, it may give you peace of mind to wear a full slip underneath.

Such a great print

I rented this dress to wear to a graduation program for work. It was the perfect mix of modesty and fun. I absolutely loved the cosmic print on the skirt and received compliments on the dress all night long. The dress fit pretty true to size in the waist and had plenty of rooms in the hips. I would recommend a bra that is adjustable to be racerback or one something similar because traditional bra straps will show with the cut of the shoulders.

I rented this dress for an all day work event. It fit great and had beautiful color. The skirt flares out from right about the hip but the dress was fairly fitted through the midsection. Without spanx you could see my belly button though the dress so i would suggest having some if you are sensitive about that. The arms were nice and loose not constricting. Great dress to wear all day at work.

Pulled funny

This dress is a beautiful purple color and very light weight but it just did not fit me right. If you are pear shaped or have wide hips size up or consider ordering a different dress. I wear a size ten or 12 pants and the large was just a touch loose in the chest but pulled across the hips. Because the dress buttons the whole way, I did not feel comfortable wearing it. I tried with a colored slip underneath but it was still obvious that you were seeing into my dress in the hip area.

So fun!

I wore this dress for work. It is outside of my typical choices but I am so glad I went with it. The dress was conservative enough for my office but had fun feeling to it, especially the cut of the back of the dress. The dress was well made and the material was thick and textured but not overly warm. I also LOVED the pockets- so convenient ! I found that this dress fit pretty true to size. I fluctuate between a 10 & 12 and this dress in the 10 fit well and was comfortable, it did not pull in the arms as some sleeves dresses could and had plenty of room in the hips. I would say the most fitted area is the waist. If you are debating renting this dress- give it a try it will be worth it!

Well made

This dress felt very well made and did not wrinkle which was great for work. I felt it ran a touch on the small side particularly in the waist. I also struggled figuring out exactly how to tie the dress- it tied immediately at the pull through which was different for me than other wrap dresses and felt somehow less secure. It's also a little low cut so I would recommend having a cami available if you are wearing to work or other conservative atmosphere.

Interesting effect

I rented this for a graduation dinner For work. This dress fit perfectly, I was nervous with the Italian size but the size ten fit perfectly. However, while the color is gorgeous, this dress is much shinier in person and the pattern and texture combined made me look and feel like a mermaid- not exactly what I was going for. My husband actually could not keep himself from laughing when he saw me in it. The color is truly stunning and may be more appropriate for more flashy events .

Pretty pattern, weird fit.

This dress is a beautiful pattern and light weight but not see-through material. I really wanted to love it and tried it on three times but it just did not fit me correctly and did nothing for my body. The belt gave me a weird puffyness from behind and the off the shoulder sleeves were so loose they constantly kept popping back up on my shoulders. It was almost as though I needed to side down for the top half of the dress but then the skirt may not have fit nicely on my hips.

Great color!

I wore this dress for my birthday. It was super comfortable and casual. The dress has no structure so while comfortable it won't do much to add to your shape. I typically wear a 10/12 and the medium fit me easily, so definitely consider sizing down. The dress has side cut outs right about bra level -they way it fit me was a little inappropriate and would have showed too much. I wore a lace slip underneath which added coverage but pretty detail not only to the cut outs but also to the neckline. This dress is great for a casual summer party, or even everyday wear!

I rented this as a back up dress for my backyard wedding reception. Luckily the weather was perfect and I never needed to change out of my gown! The dress was pretty with beautiful lace detailing. The lining on the 10 was snug on me in the bust and hips but the dress did not look tight. This dress runs pretty true to size and I would size up for a back up.

I rented this dress for my mini-moon to Boston and wore it sight seeing all day. It was super comfortable and I loved the pockets! I did feel like it made me look a little hippie than normal and a belt would have helped but I didn't have one available. If you are super sensitive about your hips, this might not be the dress for you! The fit was good, loose in the waist and hips. It was snug in the bust for me but did not gap or pull open. I was able to comfortably wear this all day!

So many compliments!

I rented this for my mini moon and loved it so much I wore it to work before my wedding as well. I received so many compliments all day long from total strangers. This dress is so comfortable , light and flowy- perfect for summer. It definitely runs large. I am between a 10&12 and read the reviews that said his ran large but figured there was no way I could wear an 8 so I rented the 10. The 10 was wearable but the 8 would have been a better fit. SIZE DOWN! I am 5'4" and this dress was a tad bit long on me. I wore it with flats but did have to hold the edge up when walking. I also love the side slit! I would definitely recommend this dress!

Perfect for my private church ceremony

This dress was absolutely perfect for my private church ceremony. I felt very bridal without being over the top for a Monday night. The dress itself fit wonderfully and I was able to wear a regular bra with it. I did wear spanx to make the bottom half more smooth but the dress would have still fit without. I would recommend renting your true size and leaning toward sizing up not down if you are sensitive about your belly/hips/thighs. I will say this dress was not super flattering from behind as my bottom looked larger than normal, this was probably due to both the color and the material as it kind of layers flat and then flowed out right at butt adding volume. This would not stop me from wearing the dress again!

So fun and flowy

This dress for great! If anything it runs slightly large, but just a touch. I usually wear a 10 or 12 depending on the designer and widths sleeves I was a little nervous it would be constricting. I had plenty of room to work all day in this dress and carry awkward packages- no motion restriction at all. The dress was long enough that I could get away with wearing it to work but a little shinier than I anticipated, would have also been great for a a dinner party, date night, somewhat casual wedding. I also loved how the lining was fully attached at the top of the dress with to spaghetti straps so I didn't have to worry about adjusting it all day

Super comfortable!

I rented this dress for my bachelorette party & unfortunately never took a full Length photo in it! The dress was gorgeous- Super comfortable and very flattering. I loved the sparkle and the removable panel in the chest area was very fun. I ended up leaving it in because I needed a bra to fill out the top of the dress- but could totally see wearing it without the panel if I was better prepared. This dress is perfect for a bachelorette or other fun night out. The 10 fit me perfectly and I was able to wear a standard bra with it. My only negative is one of the sequins in the arm area was scratching me by the end of the night- I think this was just because of all the wear this dress gets. I would definitely rent again!

I rented this dress for a family wedding. The color was gorgeous and the style was super fun. I am not very tall- only 5'4" bit this dress felt super short on me- I think because of the style of the skirt. I was able to move comfortable throughout the night, but did feel slightly self conscious. The tulle had some significant damage but because of the style you really could not tell. This wasn't my favorite rental but it met my needs for the event. The fit was true to size. I am between a 10 & 12 and wore the 12 for more comfort in my rib cage.

This is a beautiful dress but unfortunately was just a tad bit small on me. I think the cut of this dress is more fitted than it appeared to me. If you are sensitive about your midsection size up or consider another dress. Otherwise, it was well made and comfortable. The lace was not at all itchy and the color was beautiful.

Super comfortable

I rented this dress for a friends rehearsal dinner. The quality was fantastic and felt wonderful on. It was a bit tight in the chest and I ended up wearing it without snapping it shut. The nature of it being a wrap dress allows for some wiggle room in sizing if you just wear a tank underneath it. I will note that I thought this dress was pink and black but the black is actually dark brown and dark purple. It still worked with my black tank but seemed worth noting. If you have a large chest or broad back size up it have a tank or cami ready!

I rented these earrings for a September wedding. The bridesmaids all decided to wear gold accessories but I own almost exclusively silver so decided to rent. This was my first time renting jewelry and I was a bit nervous but the process was great! The earrings arrived in their own box and were perfect for my event. I thought these would be a little bit heavy but they were not at all! Totally comfortable i wore them all night long.

Great material- tight fit

I rented this dress for my sister for a wedding. We are both very different shaped size tens and this did not fit either of us. It was very tight in the chest. She is a DD and the dress gave her no support while also smushing her chest so that it was bursting everywhere. I am smaller chested but broader and found the dress very tight in the chest as well. Neither of us wore the dress. Aside from the fit it was a well made beautiful dress, great color- more pink than in the picture.

I rented this dress for a summer bridal shower and it was perfect. The color is a really beautiful shade of green and I love the scalloped edge of the dress. I carry most of my weight in my hips but this was very forgiving in that area. It fit pretty true to size and was just a tiny bit loose in the chest on me. If you are widest in your waist or have a large bust, you may want to size up. I wore a regular bra with a strap perfect to be sure my straps didn't show, but I think I would have been fine without it. This dress was very comfortable and held up great! I wore this all day on a hot summer day and it maintained it makes shape and kept me relatively cool! I would definitely recommend renting this!

Great for a bachelorette party

This dress was perfect for my friends bachelorette party! It's the perfect amount of skin for a girls night out. I have been renting 10s for the past 6 months and there is no way a 10 would have fit me in the waist. The 12 was a great fit, perfect in the waist and hips and just a tiny bit loose in the chest. This dress is a tiny bit short, I am only 5'5" on a good day and this dress was very short on me- it did not cover my butt at all when I sat down. Super forgiving in the hips and you don't need any special undergarments. The hook and eye was such a fun touch! Would totally recommend this but be sure to size up.

Worth every penny

I loved this dress!! It was a little bit more expensive than the dresses I usually rent, but so worth it. This fit me perfectly and the color was stunning on me, pictures do not do it justice. I wore this to the wedding of a close family friend and received compliments all night long- even the bride loved it! The dress fit me perfectly in the waist and there was plenty of room in the hips. The bust and arms were just a tiny bit loose on me- I did find it challenging to keep a bra concealed as the back was just a bit to low and the straps moved just a bit too much- but was able to go without and it was not an issues. This dress did only have one pocket- any pocket is better than none but I was surprised to only find one. It also arrived with a bit of an odd smell but I removed it from the bag immediately and let it air out overnight and it was fine. This dress arrived very wrinkled-probably due to the volume of the skirt being stuffed into a garment bag- so be prepared to press or steam it before your event! If you are thinking about renting this dress, do it! You won't be disappointed!

Great color, awkward length

This dress was sent to me as a back up to my back up. The back up size of the dress I ordered wasn't available and then dress I picked to replace it was damaged so the RTR Team subbed this in instead. This is not a dress I would have picked for myself. The color and quality of this dress is great, but for me the length was all wrong. I am about 5'5" and this dress hit me right at the ankles which I found to be just awkward and not flattering. Perhaps on taller women it would be more "tea" length but it did not work for me. The sizing ran pretty true. I had plenty of room in the arms, hips and bust all and could probably have fit into a size 10 in this dress. (I ended up wearing another dress by this designer in a size 10) I would say the waist for me was the least forgiving area, although not uncomfortable. I also loved that this dress had two pockets and came with an adjustable belt.

I wore this to my best friends engagement party and received so many compliments. The dress has an awesome texture that is hard to see in pictures. It's a thick material but also very comfortable. I have a broad back and a small busy soI found the dress to be a little tight in the chest and had some difficulty zipping it at first - but was able to zip it on my own and was very comfortable wearing. The back dips a little low but This could be worn with or without a bra. The skirt is very full and has plenty of space for wider hips. The pockets were a great touch- so convenient for keeping your phone on you during a party. I loved wearing this dress and felt fantastic in it. Would definitely rent again!

This dress was great. Unlike most sequined dressed- it was not itchy or scratchy against my skin. I wore this with tights and booties. Would have been great with a nice bib necklace - but mine broke the morning of the event. This dress was simple and comfortable yet classy. I rented the 10 and the 12 and saw virtually no difference between the two. The 10 seemed to be a little bit longer so I went with the ten. There was a little sign of wear - lose strings and the lining kept slipping out and showing but I was able to fix that with a lot of double sided tape.

I was a little nervous about this dress because it seemed a little lackluster in photos, but i was so relieved to receive the dress and find out pictures do not do the details of this dress justice! The hidden pockets and the mesh neckline made this a perfect, comfortable, functional dress for a holiday function. Everyone at the party loved my dress and the great details like the neck line, exposed zipper, and beautiful skirt details. I just recently got into size 10 pants, and the 10 (which I had originally rented as my back up) in this dress fit wonderfully- I didn't even try the 12 on. It was a tad bit loose in the chest, but the neckline kept it from being inappropriate. This dress was SO comfortable- if you're considering renting this- you won't regret it.

Fantastic quality dress!

I have rented 5 or 6 times so far and this is absolutely my favorite dress to date. The dress arrived in really great condition with no noticable wear to the lace. It was ready to wear right out of the bag and didn't require any ironing or steaming. This dress is a stunner and it's truly comfortable too. I don't feel like photos do it justice. I was complimented all night long in this dress. It feels short because of the volume of the tulle but it was totally fine to walk sit and dance in. It may be a problem for a taller girl, I'm only 5'4"
