Fun black romper - can be dressed up or kept casual
I wore this romper for a friend's bachelorette party. It was pretty comfortable, but the top was large (even for someone with a large chest) and it wasn't the most flattering fit on me. It needed jewelry to make it stand out, otherwise it's just a basic black romper.

Way too large, not flattering. Ended up not wearing it.
I rented this dress to wear for a night out but it was way too big and was not flattering at all. It has a drop waist, which wasn't evident in the pictures, very heavy material, and just in general didn't look good on me.

Fun romper but I didn't love the fit
This romper was cute but the top gapped a lot, and as someone with a large chest it made me uncomfortable throughout the day. I ended up changing halfway through my party into a more comfortable outfit.

Absolutely beautiful dress - comfortable with a fun hemline. One of my favorite rentals so far!
I loved this dress! As someone with a large bust, I'm always hesitant to wear strapless but there was so much support in this dress that I didn't even need to wear a bra (which never happens!). The length was perfect, the skirt and material was very comfortable, and it had pockets! I received compliments all night long! One small complaint was that it was a little tight around my rib cage.

One of my favorite rentals! Gorgeous and super comfortable!
This dress was definitely one of my favorite rentals to date, I was sad to send it back! It was super comfortable and the style is very fun. You could easily dress it up or down, depending on the event your attending. I'm usually not comfortable in a strapless bra but because the top is flown I felt great! I highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful earrings, just the right amount of sparkle!
These earrings went perfectly with the Yumi Kim Botanical Dream Maxi dress! I wore my hair down and unfortunately didn't get any pictures where the earrings are visible, but they are a very subtle shade of pink, not heavy, and could be used for formal or casual wear.

Gorgeous dress! Flattering fit, received tons of compliments!
I feel like this dress was even prettier in person than it was in pictures. I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't be formal enough for my husband's work gala but it was more than dressy enough. The lining is SUPER short, but luckily the sheer part of the dress isn't too sheer. I often times forgot that the the dress had a sheer bottom. I will say that this dress is not for short girls - I'm 5'3", wore 3.5" heels and it was still too long. I had to pick up the dress every time I moved/walked which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. The description says the dress is good for heights 5'2"-5'6", which is inaccurate. If you're short like me and want to rent this dress I recommend getting really high heels. I loved that it had a racer back and was hoping that I would've been able to wear a regular bra but my bra straps showed with two bras so I ended up going strapless. While this would normally bother me, the dress was surprisingly supportive! Besides the slight length issue, I loved the dress and was sad to send it back.

Gorgeous gown!! Got compliments all night long
I loved this dress! I went to the Georgetown store and it was the first one I tried on. It wasn't initially what I had in mind but as soon as I tried it on I fell in love. The quality is outstanding, it was so light and comfortable. I had to wear 3 inch heels and it still grazed the ground but I'm short so that's to be expected. Such a fun dress, the pattern is colorful but not too bright which made it perfect for a formal event.

Liked the shape and cut, definitely needs jewelry to make it pop
I rented this dress as a last minute replacement for a dress that was unfortunately stolen. As always, the RTR staff was incredibly helpful in helping me get a backup overnighted to my hotel. While this dress wasn't my first (or second or third) choice, it ended up working out well for my friend's wedding. The cut outs at the beck make an otherwise simple dress unique. The color is great for fall and the shape is very flattering. The fabric was a little heavy and it was a little long for me (I'm 5'3")

Fun necklace, spiced up my LBD
This necklace went great with the Slate &a Willow dress I rented! It was a perfect pop for a classy little black dress. The chain is dark gunmetal grey, almost black. It worked for a black dress but might not look good on a lighter color. Overall was a great statement necklace

This dress was classy and fun - one of my RTR faves!
The dress fit great for the most part, the sleeves were a little tight when I first put it on but it seemed to loosen as the night went on. I loved the cut and shape, great for big boobs and the flare hides hips/tummy. Great length as well! I loved this dress, wish I could've kept it!

This dress was stunning and unique, I got compliments all night long!
I originally rented a different dress that didn't fit and was able to swap it out for this dress at the Georgetown store. The material is a bit stiff and a little heavy, but the dress is beautifully constructed and the fit is incredibly flattering, especially if you have a booty! The dress also has pockets, which is perfect for a wedding, and the pattern is a fun change from the classic LBD. Everyone from the parents of the groom, to family friends, to the wedding coordinators complimented me on the dress. The back is a little low, but I was still able to wear a regular bra (just had to loosen the straps a bit and had my husband on "bra patrol" to make sure it wasn't peaking out throughout the night).

Beautiful dress for a black-tie optional wedding. The red stood out in a sea of black!
I really loved this dress! The fit was wonderful - the band under the bust was a little tight when first putting the dress on it but it seemed to loosen up as the night went on. I had to wear a cross-back bra, but for a busty girl, being able to wear any kind of bra is a good thing. The petite was the perfect length for me, I'm 5'2.5", wore 3 inch heels and the dress just barely skimmed the ground. The dress was flowy and comfortable, perfect for dancing the night away!

Pretty dress, stiff material, A LOT of cleavage!
I wore this dress for my now husband's work gala. The material of the dress was stiffer than I was anticipating and it was VERY low cut. Even with double stick tape, being well endowed I had some major cleavage and was worried about a wardrobe malfunction all night. Being on the shorter side, the dress was also longer than I anticipated. Also, the bow wasn't as perky as I would have liked. It was the right level of dressiness for a formal function, however it wasn't my favorite rental to date.

Very cute and comfy, great for any outdoor summer event!
I've never worn a romper before, so I was a bit hesitant to try one. I rented this for my birthday celebration (an outdoor wine fest followed by a cookout) and was pleasantly surprised by the fit! The leg holes are nice and wide, which is great for us girls with larger thighs. The romper hit at just the right height, was comfortable through the whole day, and people kept telling me how much they loved it! My only complaint would be the tiny button at the back, which you have to undo every time you need to use the restroom. Another great rent the runway success!

Perfect dress for a 4th of July wedding! Material was light and pattern was fun.
Dress was initially a little snug under the bust but loosened up as the night went on. This dress could easily be dressed up with the right accessories, or kept casual. Comfortable for a larger bust and a good length for shorter girls.
