I rented this for my babymoon in Cabo
The dress was very cute and insanely comfortable but I do think it runs large. I rented a size M (I'm normally a pre-pregnancy size small) and at 30 weeks it was still pretty big.

I rented this for my babymoon in Cabo
This dress was adorable! I wore it at 30 weeks and there was still tons of belly room to grow. I wore it with sandals and I'm 5'6 and it was maybe a bit too long but not unwearable.

Perfect dress for a semi-formal wedding at 28 weeks pregnant
I loved this dress and got lots of compliments! There was a ton of stretch so I think it could be worn well into the 3rd trimester.

Cute jumpsuit
Once this was on it was super cute and I got a lot of compliments - getting it on and off (for every bathroom break) was a challenge. It doesn't have a ton of stretch and getting the top part over my ever expanding hips wasn't easy. I really had to work to pull it up and down. It was cute enough that it was worth it. I'm 24 weeks in this photo.

Cute but runs big
I liked the dress overall but it ran big in the top and the off the shoulder sleeves kept popping up.

More casual than expected
I rented these to wear to work, however I wouldn't categorize them as 'pants' at all. They're definitely stretchy cotton leggings. They're super comfortable and flattering, but I do think they're advertised incorrectly - particularly with the white oxford and black pumps shown in the RTR photo. Also - they're shorter than pictured. I'm 5'6 (which I'm sure isn't taller than the model) and they hit about an inch above my ankle. They fit TTS -I'm normally around 125 (145 now) and the 4 fit with plenty of room. I probably could have sized down to a 2.

I wore this dress for Easter and it was perfect
I'm 14 weeks pregnant and this dress fit perfectly. I ordered my normal Free People size and there was plenty of room for my small bump (and probably plenty for a larger one). Like other reviews have said, the dress is heavy so it's best suited for early spring or fall. I loved it and would definitely rent again.

Rented for the KY Derby
I loved this dress! I've never worn a Lily dress and I would definitely say that it fit larger than most RTR dresses I've ordered in the past. I'm a 0/2 in most women's sizes but often have to size up to a 4 in dresses I get from here but the zero was a perfect fit. As the other reviewers have said, it's quite short so make sure you're okay showing a lot of leg - I'm 5'6 and it hit probably 4-5 inches above my knees. Other than the length, it's relatively conservative and because of the structured material I could have elected to not wear a bra.

This dress was really cute, I just wish I had sized up. I am planning on renting again in the future in a size small.

Beautiful dress for the opera
This dress was fantastic. It fits beautifully and the flow of it makes it dressy without being boring or stuffy looking. The color is perfect for summer. The only complaint I have would be the length. I'm 5' 6" and ordered the regular length - even with 4 inch heels the dress was far too long. I honestly wondered if they hadn't accidentally sent the long instead of regular size.

Perfect dress for a bachelorette party
I rented this dress for a friends 'little black dress' bachelorette party and it was perfect. it was just the right amount of sassy to be fun without being too over-the-top that it took away from the bride. A couple warnings though - don't expect to be able to wear any sort of bra, and I would suggest bike/yoga shorts underneath, because it blows up easily

I rented this for a college alumni event and it didn't fail to impress. I was really happy I rented it. I'm still not sure if I liked this color or the red better.

Rented this dress for a wedding
The dress is absolutely fantastic, but I think it definitely looks more 'sexy' than in the photo. The slit goes pretty high, and it runs really small. I would rent it again for a bachelorette party or date night, but probably not a wedding.

Super cute
I rented this clutch for a wedding. It was super adorable and complimented the dress nicely. However because of the size and structure of the purse it doesn't hold very much, so be prepared to pack light!

Rented this for a 'Lady in Red' cocktail party
I rented this for a cocktail party and I absolutely loved it! It was by far my favorite dress that I've rented from RTR. It fit perfectly and was just tight enough and showed just enough skin to be sexy without being too much. I actually think I'm going to rent the blue version of this dress for an event I have next month! As other reviewers have noted - it does run a little small. I'm typically an XS and though I could fit in both sizes, I was much more comfortable in the small. I didn't have any trouble zipping it up alone.

Wore this for a date night in Chicago with my husband
I really liked this dress - the color is very pretty and my husband said I looked absolutely fantastic in it. Because of the tight nature of the dress it seemed to smooth out any problem area I had without the need for a slip or any spanx. only complaints: the fit was a little odd. I felt like the Small fit a little better than the XS - but it weirdly gapped in the back at the top of the zipper. I decided to squish myself into the XS and it looked a million times better. A word of warning though - this dress is very 'sexy' and I was unable to wear a bar with it due to how wide/low the chest opening was.

This was sent as a backup dress
This dress was sent as a backup when another Herver Leger I wanted became unavailable - while the dress fit well there was just something off about it. I think the color was part of the problem - a touch too dark to be white and a touch too light to be ivory. Somehow it almost seemed like you could see through the dress - might have been my imagination - I do think it would look good on a much darker skinned person than myself.

These were sent as a suprise with a NYE dress rental
I liked these, but they were nothing too exciting. They matched well enough with my dress, but I personally wouldnt' have chosen them for the occasion - I think NYE calls for a little more flash.

Loved this dress but it gets three stars because it was not what is pictured
I rented this as a back up dress for NYE but ended up wearing a different dress. I didn't like this dress for two reasons - 1. the back is completely different than what is pictured - it's just an opaque mesh back with a zipper - not the buttons/open back pictured and it's also much longer. My friend ended up wearing the dress and she is very tall - approx 5' 9" and it was almost knee length on her. We ended up folding the dress under so it would be a little (4 inches) shorter. Otherwise it was a nice dress and the fit was good - it's just a lot more conservative than the photo shown.

Wore this dress for NYE and loved it!
I absolutely loved this dress it was the perfect amount of sparkle/sophistication for a New Years Eve bash - my only complaints were that it ran a little large in the waist band (could have been fixed with a belt but I didn't have one that looked good) and that the sequins don't show up quite as well in photos as they do in real life - but those are far from deal breakers. I'm so happy I went with this dress!

Pretty dress
I liked this dress and it was comfortable and felt like it flattered my curves. It was also really nice being able to wear a normal bra. I think it needs some sort of WOW statement jewelry to go with it, or it comes off as a little too plain.

Pretty - but too large for me
I really wish this would have come in a zero - I think the fit would have been perfect then, sadly they only size down to a 2 in this dress for some reason. I have would definitely recommend this to a girl with a bigger, but perky chest. I wear a 32 D, and barely filled out the cups, but there would have been no way to wear a bra if I needed more lift. The length, fabric, and stretch in the dress are all great.

This is such a great program!
This is absolutely the best program RTR has come up with. I loved that I could finally try on the dresses that I have been afraid to order for fear that they wouldn't fit/look good. I don't know how anyone could pass this up since it is also essentially free.

The size of this dress is a joke. I have what I would consider tiny arm muscles - but they were WAY too much for this dress. It might have looked ok if I sized up once? Maybe twice? As it was though, it was so hard to get on and way too revealing.

Absolutely loved this dress! I am trying to pick an occasion to rent it for. Fit wonderfully and the open back just gives it a total WOW factor. It runs a little short - so I don't know that I would recommend it to someone much taller than myself.

So I think this dress would have been really beautiful if it came in a 0. I'm not really sure why the smallest size they have is a 2. I was hoping it was because it ran small - not the case, maybe even a little large.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous - I felt like a princess in it and am planning on renting it for a black tie event on NYE. One MAJOR complaint though (and the reason it didn't get five stars) is that the zipper is really difficult to get up - I would say it's almost impossible to do alone. It took my husband about 5 minutes to zip it, and it was by no means too small.

This dress is really pretty and fits true to size. The length could be a little hard for some people to pull off. The ability to adjust this was great, since you can't wear a bra - it still REALLY lifted the girls.

Perfect dress for my 25th bday!
I absolutely loved this dress! I received so many compliments throughout the evening. It had just the right amount of sparkle. I made it a little more casual by pairing it with brown leather boots and a braided leather belt. I do think the dress runs a little large - the waist band not being as tight as I would have liked, but the belt took care of that.

Cute dress rented for a night out with the girls
This dress is pretty casual and I probably wouldn't have rented it on its own. I got it as my second dress for $25. This fit well and is a very cute dress, but it's nothing super special.
