BEWARE but beautiful
I lovvveeeeddd this dress but feel like you should know. - the back is open as well as a deep gape in the front so I did nipple covers and then taped over my shoulder to get some support and keep my boobs inside the dress - I tried tape to keep it from gaping but it absolutely did not work with the cut of this dress so I just said to heck with it. - You could tell a lot of renters used safety pins because there were at least a dozen obvious safety pin marks but not so bad they showed up in pictures - the slit in the front is such a vibe and it’s easier to dance in than I thought but be weary of dropping it low. - don’t wear this to any event where you need to lift your arms up. I adored this dress and would rent it again or recommend it for somebody with a similar body type to mine.

Bulky but cute
This crop sweater is super bulky but it’s very cute. I wore it out with a simple white tank and a pair of high waisted jeans and got multiple compliments. Sometimes simple just hits.

These were not a vibe
These pants fit fine but they are not flattering and just sort of looked a bit run down. It was too late to get a back up so I wore them for my work event and didn’t feel good in them. Looking at the pictures they just aren’t a vibe - they aren’t cool enough to be a statement piece, they aren’t flattering, they are just meh. I’m disappointed I paid to wear these.

Gorgeous but tight turtleneck
This dress is really pretty. It’s a mix of navy blue and black and was tea length on me at 5’4. Unfortunately I couldn’t wear it because the top felt so tight. I don’t know how I didn’t realize it’s a full turtleneck but it is and it was really tight on my neck which is an absolute deal breaker for me. And overall with a large chest the top was snug.

Very formal. Runs large & long.
This dress looks much more formal in person because of the thick high quality fabric. I planned to wear it for a keynote but it gave ballroom not MainStage. The dress was gorgeous but this was not the right look for my event. It also was very very long. I’m 5’4 and tried it on wearing a 5 inch feel and it dragged the floor. It also ran large. I’m an 8/10 but I always size up from RTR because I have a large chest and find that I need to size up for most dresses. Not this one. The 10 was wearable but was clearly too large on me so would have looked unprofessional. Which is to say, I could see myself wearing a size 8 version of this dress to something like a gala dinner where I could pull off 5 inch heels for an entire night because a lot of sitting would be involved.

I felt unstoppable
Wellll technically I stood in a corner for 10 minutes while giving myself a pep talk because so many people were staring at me when I walked into a party that I was told was a dress to impress gala but was in fact business casual but after that I felt unstoppable. I get gorgeous. This dress is divine. I will figure out how to get invited to another party that would allow me to rent this piece of utter perfection again. 12/10.

The compliments!!
I’m a 8/10 and wore an 8 because the 10 wasn’t available and the straps ripped into my shoulders all night but I’d still wear this dress again. I think it would have been okay but I started my period that day and it was just too tight and too tight to even try to tape. If you’re in between sizes and have large breasts, go to your higher size. What a dress!! Gorgeous. Would rent again.

Fun & flowy but not flattering
This is such a fun dress and I enjoyed wearing it but the proportions were a bit off for my body. Like it was tight at the waist but loose over the boobs and I have huge boobs so that doesn’t make sense. I wore it to a cocktail party in Miami and felt frumpy. I got compliments but didn’t feel confident in it. I would wear it to the beach though!

Classic style. Top fit a bit weird.
I have a large chest and found that this dress bunched above my chest and around the collarbone so had to adjust it quite a bit but even with that annoyance I would 100000% rent this dress again. So classic. I felt super confident in it. If you’re wondering if you should size up for your backup, I would as it’s a tiny bit snug.

Adorable dress. Lots of compliments.
Great dress. Loved the length. It's very booby which I didn't mind at all but I couldn't figure out how to wear it with a bra and instead used those sticky tape support things to keep the girls supported and covered. It's flowy so I wouldn't risk wearing it without some nipple coverage. The only comment is that there is a small snap but it comes unsnapped so maybe bring a safety pin just in case!

Strange fit
Very strange fit. I thought it would be cute but it's not. It's not short enough for it to be cute with how billowy it is (5'4) and I am all for a booby dress but this was like boobs pushed up to my collarbone like the dress was strangling them. Cute in concept. Not a good look for my body type which is short with 38 D - DD.

You can tell it's well made
Super cute dress. It is definite a casual look but you can tell it's a pricey well made dress like casual but but together. It is a bit shorter than I thought it would be. I'm 5'4, 150 but pretty curvy so I've beat wearing bike shorts under it so I can be comfy and there's a side zipper that goes up maybe 6 inches from the bottom hem and the bike shorts also mean I can leave that open so it's easier to walk in.

Very boxy but super cute
I've worn this twice, once over a black dress where I wanted to create a bit of definition and texture and it was so cute and another time with a tight pair of high-waisted jeans and I thought the boxy nature of the top pair well with those fits.

This dress put a smile on my face
This dress was so bright and fun to wear. The fabric was thicker than I thought it would be (in a good way). It was really study but still flowy and fun. My only issue is that it pulled a bit on my breasts. I'm a 36 DD and wore a medium and I had to adjust the top a few times so it wasn't gaping in the chest area. I'd still wear it again. Great dress.

Just not right for my body type
This dress looked great in pictures but just wasn't right for my body type. I got the medium and large. I wore the medium but my DDs were barely restrained by the top and the straps aren't adjustable. I tried the large but it gapped on the sides and looked frumpy. It was a cool cute, but somehow not sexy. It worked for the night but I wouldn't rent it again for my body.

Not for a large chested lady
Gorgeous dress. I loved it but my boobs were at my collar bone in the size 6. Luckily a friend was able to borrow it and looked AMAZING. I would highly recommend this gem but for probably size A or B if you are going somewhere formal where you don't want the ladies to be popping out.

This jumpsuit is AMAZING but I think I needed to go up a size because the zipper went all the way up the back and about half way up my side boobs situation just got too aggressive. Such a spectacular jumper though!

Beautiful dress but runs a tiny bit small
Great fabric and great design on this dress but I felt like a little sausage in it. I'm between a size 4 - 8 depending on the designer so a medium should have fit fine but it was a smidge right around the chest / rib cage area. Still happy about the rental.

What a head turning dress!
This dress fit really well and made me feel oh so sexy! Obviously you cannot wear it with a bra. I didnt have a chance to grab tape before my event so I went without and it was fine. I couldnt bend over but otherwise no problems. The naterial is thick enough that i didnt need spanx either. I couldnt recommend this dress more!!

This color block dress was so flattering. It was comfortable, didn't ride up, was great for dancing and can be easily worn with a bra! It's everything I need in a dress for a party. I wore it to a semi-formal fundraiser but a girl in my office wears it to work and it's great as a work dress too. Super versatile dress. Vibrant colors. True to size.

Super comfortable but very cute shirt dress
I rented this for a pig roast/backyard BBQ the day after my wedding. I knew it was going to be hot and I would have a hangover, but also knew there would be lots of pictures - this dress was the perfect answer. The lightweight flower material ensured that I was comfy all day, but still looked cute for pics (all with my sunglasses on). I would rent again!

Vibrant dress! Peekaboo cutout stole the show!
I LOVED this dress. One of the best things I've rented from RTR in awhile. It fits true to size but it's a bit long if you're short like me (5'4). I wore flats but it would have been better with a wedge. The fabric was super breathable and the colors were so vibrant. The best part is that the cutout was low enough that I didn't have to worry about my bra showing. Amazing dress!

Stunning dress. More green than expected. Delicate.
I thought this dress was absolutely stunning. It was not the color I expected from the photos but was absolutely gorgeous. It's a long dress so make sure you are planning go wear it with high heels. I am 5'4 and wore 5 inch heels and it still swept the ground. The zipper was very delicate and caused a massive headache getting it over the hem but it happened. This dress would be perfect for a classy outdoor or spring wedding. The detail and cut were just so classy.

This is a very forgiving dress. I would recommend sizing down for your second size. This was actually my back up dress for engage enemy photos but I loved it so much, I wore it instead. High quality fabric, beautiful colors and design and very complimentary in the cut. I would definitely rent again!

Least flattering RTR I've rented
I did not like this dress. The colors were drab and it was not flattering. I looked at the reviews and it seemed to run true to size so I ordered up for my second size. The 6 was way too large. I have a fairly large chest (36D) so I generally order up for fear the dresses won't zip all the way up. What a disappoint - there was way to much extra fabric in the bust and waste and I found that it feel at an odd point on my torso. It is the only dress I've rented that I absolutely would not wear again. I felt fat and self conscious in all of the photos instead of the princess these dresses usually make me feel like. If you are committed to renting it. Note - you should really get a strapless bra. I wore a beige bra and thought it was fine but you could still see the straps If you were looking. Also, I wore gold accessories and black shoes and that was a mistake....I think silver or rose gold accessories and a nude shoe would have played to the dress better, but nothing could have made it something I would rent again :(

Beautiful dress. I felt like a princess!
I LOVED this dress and got so many compliments.The color was absolutely perfect. At 5'4"it went all the way down to my ankle so lacked the tea length look from the pictures and wasn't as slimming as it looks in the pictures, but was still gorgeous. I felt super confident in it. I am usually a 4-6 but wore an 8 (maybe I am gaining some weight) but I also have fairly large chest and even the 8 felt very tight in the rib cage and chest. I would recommend this rental, but if you have a large chest I'd suggest going up a size.

Family. Fun. Fantastic Dress.
This wedding was at a Yacht Club in Long Island. It was not super fancy & outdoor. I wanted a dress that matched the special occasion, but would also be comfortable dancing and not make me overheat. This dress absolutely did the trick. I will tell you that it was a lot more of a statement piece then I anticipated. Luckily I had sent pictures to the bride before I rented it and got the thumbs up, but I would have been pretty nervous if I'd not done that. The top was quite tight on me. I couldn't even zip up the two. The four was super tight on my chest by then the straps gapped a little bit. Not a deal break at all, but the first time I tried it on with a bra, my boobs were up to my collar bone so beware! It was a great dress and I totally recommend for an occasion where whimsical is appropriate!

You get a lot of bangels -- like too many to wear on one arm and I didn't want them on both arms, but that was great because I could choose which ones I wanted to create a set from. Great value.

This dress was adorable. Playful, but pretty.
I really liked this dress and found it very flattering for my birthday date night. I thought it would be slightly more playful in that the skirt would have been a bit more poofy, but as you can see from the picture that is not what happened when I wore it. The dress had a bit of weight to it, was of high quality, and fit very well. I decided not to wear a necklace with it because the top already had so much going on so if you rent it I suggest wearing great shoes & bangles to make the dress really pop!

Kentucky Derby Dress for Day Party
The dress fit very well. I gained a bit of weight lately so I was happy I had the 4 to wear. I'm maybe 5'4', 140 lbs right now. There was still room to move in the four, but since the back zips all the way up the back it ended up being a really comfortable size. The dress was a lot darker in person than it looks in pictures. I thought it was cute and I definitely liked the dress, like the cut and the fabric, but I wouldn't rent it again. I try to rent items that I wouldn't purchase and keep in my closet to wear again and this was just too normal for me!
