Large and in charge!
These are cute in theory, but holy sequoia legs Batman. Your legs might be the size of a curtain rod but that will absolutely not translate in these overalls. I felt so self conscious in these, regardless of the twig legged husband next to me. Puffy jacket def did not help the look- I would not wear these if you need outerwear. Overall I did not feel confident wearing these. Crotch didn’t ride up, not tight across the hips, not too long with Blundstones on.

So comfy and cute!
Rented this for Shakey Knees in Atlanta. Super comfy and breeze to wear, and pockets! Didn’t wrinkle despite sitting (and sweating) in it. Wasn’t see-thru and the print is really versatile for lots of occasions. The straps aren’t adjustable, but I didn’t find that to be a problem by sizing up to the medium to avoid a tight crotch sitch. Will probably buy this one! 5’7, 135lbs, 36C.

Not for boobs!
Wish I could have worn this dress but there was way too much side boob. I think this would fit best on a B/C or smaller. Currently a 36DD. It fit about my chest, but the cut outs were a whisper away from a wardrobe malfunction.

Super fun!
Wore this for a wedding in Charleston. Currently about 140 and a 36DD at 4mpp. I felt confident and boobs were secure in this dress. Straps are adjustable which was great. Material was light and breezy with just the right amount of cut-outs. Colors we’re a bit more muted than anticipated, but still photographed well and didn’t wash out this *porcelain* skin.

Cute but tiny- size UP
Rented this to wear for my son’s first birthday party and 6 months pregnant. Didn’t end up wearing it because it was so small and short, and that wasn’t because of the belly. I’d say this is not for anyone with broad shoulders, boobs bigger than an A-B, or over 5’4. Pre-pregnancy size 4, rented a 6, probably an 8 or 10 would have fit.

Liked it so much I bought it!
Love this romper! It's causal enough for lunch but you could easily dress this up. Very quality made with nice big pockets! Pockets were extra nice because you can put an iPhone in there and because of the pleating you can't tell there's anything in there. Yes it will wrinkle, but that's the nature of the fabric.

Super comfy non-maternity maternity dress
Rented this for an important work meeting at 38+4. Pre-pregnancy about 140, 34C the small would have worked but might have been a little bottom heavy, but at 180 and 36D the medium was super comfortable without being too tight or too short. The fabric is thicker, but not hot (wore this in October in GA and it was humid as hell). It's that nice thick fabric that just lays perfectly because of the weight. I think it's much better suited for 2-3 tri.

Cute and comfy
Wore this for my baby shower in Georgia in august aka HOT. The material was light and flowy, not sheer, and not too much of just because it was maternity. The small fit great at 32w, 170 pounds, boobs about 36DD now; pre-pregnancy 140 and a 34C. Straps are adjustable and didn't need to wear a bra. Plenty of room for the bump, although this could easily be a not maternity dress too.

Comfy and cute
I wore this for my baby shower at a baseball game, 23w pregnant. It was SO COMFY and I'm considering buying it. You don't need a bra with it, and could honestly wear it strapless. There's not too much material so it's easy to wear and walk around in.

Breezy and beautiful!
Rented this for a wedding at the Atlanta Zoo in June aka hot and humid at 22w pregnant. The fabric is like a 90s tracksuit, but more luxurious, and less of that swish swish noise. So it was really great for a hot evening. I got tons of complements on it. Wore Jack Rogers with it, so it grazed the ground just a little. 5'7, 34C, 135 pre-pregnancy, now 36D, 145. The medium showed a little less boobage than the small, so I went with that. Would definitely rent again!

Fun birthday dress
Super light and fun dress for everyday, although I wore it for my birthday. The neckline is not too low and the pattern makes it possible to not have to wear a bra. There are some darts on the dress around the hips. On me, the darts ended right at the hip-dip so I was a little self conscious at first that it made me look hippy. I think this would looks great on a more slender, long and lean person.

I loved this dress! It's a great colder weather dress- although not because it's going to keep you warm. I work this with flat, cognac colored Frye booties. The dress hit at a good spot: wasn't too long, and also didn't look like I was prepping for a flood. Went braless with this dress and didn't see any nip outlines. Not tight around the neck either.

Versatel coat
I rented this for walking around NYC over Christmas. This is a very heavy, legit coat. It's not a fashion coat that won't keep you warm, this is a warm coat that is fashionable. You can't super tell from the pictures, but the faux fur is all sort of fun colors. Sleeves were a bit short for my taste (or maybe my arms?). But that's the only complaint.

Modern alternative for black tie
I rented this for a black tie wedding. It's a wonderful deep green, perfect for the winter. The slit isn't too high. My main issue was this is a felt that the neck was a little too loose, which subsequently made me feel like the front came in a little too close for comfort. It could easily be fashion taped to make it secure, and FWIW, I never ended up exposed. I wore this with ~3in heels and it was about half an inch to an inch off the ground. Medium was longer, and obviously more loose fitting.

Green Goddess!
This is a fantastic dress! I wore it for a rehearsal dinner in Charleston. I'm normally a 4 through and through, but the 6 was even pushing it to get over my hips. So I would absolutely size up. The fabric is thick enough that you don't need a bra, and honestly if you're probably a B chest or larger you won't need one. The dress is skin tight, but the fabric is such that it skims and hugs your body in the right way instead of an unflattering way. I got tons of complements and would rent again!

The most comfortable jumpsuit!
I rented this to wear to the Chic Fila A kickoff game. It was super comfortable, doesn't show sweat if you're outside. Material is super breathable and doesn't wrinkle either. Straps are adjustable and you could honestly tuck them in if you wanted strapless. The top of the romper is like those crazy smocked shirts we wore in the 2000s, it stretches like crazy without being uncomfortable. It has great pockets that can fit an iPhone and it won't drag the top down: it's that sturdy. Will accentuate any size chest, but might be tight if your above a D. If you're a little self conscious about you hips or butt you might think it makes you hippy from some angles, but it is by no means unflattering. Just gives you a tiny waist look. I've got wider hips and a butt and I had Lizzo confidence in this. Will be stalking online to buy this!

Super fun dress, great color
I rented this dress for an outdoor wedding in Florida in early March. The fabric falls really well and was comfortable and really didn't wrinkle. I went braless in the dress, and the material is thick enough so that I wasn't worried about anything. I'm 5'7 and wore OTBTs with the dress and it had just a little bit of drape at the bottom. I only didn't give it 5 stars because the dress I happened to get has some condition issues: the boning on the inside had come through the fabric. It didn't bother me through the evening, just that first time I put it on, pulled it up and stabbed my torso a little. The zipper had also come loose at the very end, like someone had pulled it down too far or too hard. Over all this was a great dress and I'd wear it again!

Fun, flirty dress
Wore this dress for my besties rehearsal dinner, where I was the MOH. There was a negligible sizing difference in the 2 and 4, but ended up wearing the 2 because there was less clevage due to the straps being a little shorter. Although this is a cotton dress, it wasnt too heavy for a Georgia September wedding, and I didnt have to worry about a breeze opening it up and showing off the goods.

Adorable, updated shirt dress
Rented this dress for an outdoor concert and it did not disappoint. The bodice of the dress is crisp, clean cotton. It's a tad short, but I never felt exposed. The only downside is that it wrinkles easily. The top of the dress is pretty much sheer lace, so you need a flesh colored bra. It has a loose easy fit that was super flattering, and was totally comfortable.

Perfect date night dress!
I wore this dress for Valentines dinner. It's super cute and classically styled dress. It fit perfectly true to size too. I'm a pretty solid 4 in most brands, and the 4 fit perfectly. If you're a little fuller chested, you might get a little bit of rubbing under the arm pits, but nothing too terrible. The color is nice in that if you're pale and it's winter (hi, me) this won't wash you out.

White hot!
I got this romper to wear out in Miami for my bachelorette weekend. Just as everyone has mentioned, it's adorable from the front and bootylicious from the back. Think hot pants. It's not tight in the rear which keeps classy given how short it is. I wore the large which fit all over, however the cotton material on the bottom did stretch out a wrinkle a little as the night went on. Kind of like when you put jeans on straight out of the dryer: tight, but they loosen up. So I'm thinking I could have gotten away with the medium. Overall, great romper!!

Cute, not super functional
This is a cute little purse, emphasis on little. It can fit an iPhone 6...and not much else. With a lip stain and Chapstick in it, my phone didn't fit. So just choose wisely what you want in it.

Perfection!
I rented this dress for my bachelorette party, wanting something besides the standard white dress. It really is a show stopper. The medium was the perfect length: short without feeling exposed. I didn't have any underarm irritation from the sequins. The material is such that you can go braless. It tight, but not too tight, and if you eat a big pasta dinner (as I did) before the bars and the booze, it perfectly camouflages a food baby. I'd totally suggest this for the bride-to-be!

Looks best on the model
I ultimately did not wear this dress because it had a makeup stain on it, but here were my thoughts from trying it on. I ordered this dress to wear for my engagement pictures, hoping it would be something tasteful and elegant for pictures in Charleston (not too hot or cold in December). The inner slip of this dress is sewed into the bottom hem of the outer fabric, which caused some bunching or tucking up along the bottom seam, which was kind of awkward. As you can tell on the model and the other pictures of this dress, it has some volume to the upper arm sleeve area, which was not as flattering as I hoped. I think if the fabric of this dress was a bit thicker it would work better. Overall, I thought it was a little too tight on the bottom and too loose on the top.

Beautiful watercolor dress
I wore this dress for an evening wedding in ATL. It was the perfect comfy, flowy, stylish dress; I got so many complements on it! The pattern is such that you could go bra-less (as I did) and no one will know. Otherwise you'll need sticky boobs or something similar since there is a slit down the back that would show a bra. I wore the ML with ~4 inch wedges and it just skimmed the ground. If you're of average height you could wear the regular length with Jack Rogers or something and get the same just barely skimming the ground effect. All around great dress!

Maybe my most favorite rental ever!
I love, love, loved wearing this dress!! I rented this dress to take my engagement pictures in. Unfortunately, they got rained out, so I just wore it to a nice dinner instead. It has a great neoprene feel to it which makes it incredibly forgiving in the fit. I gave it four stars and not five because it was very close to being too short on me. I'm 5'7, so I don't know that I'd suggest this dress for ladies who are taller than me. It also has "slip" on the skirt portion which would ride up slightly if you went from sitting to standing, but those are my only complaints. It's a beautiful crisp, clean white color that will complement even the fairest of skin tones. I'm actually looking to buy this dress online...that's how much I loved it!

Great dress for...pretty much anything!
When I had a brain fart and planned my original dress for delivery after the wedding I was attending, RTR was beyond amazing, over-nighting this dress to my hotel in NOLA. So first, I can't say enough about the customer support. About the dress, I'll agree with the other ladies that it is a bit heavy and definitely runs large. I'm a tried and true size 4/27, and the 2L was a great fit, snug enough to stay up, loose enough to breathe and eat. I'm a 34C and the bust was a bit loose, so if you're small chested maybe consider a different dress or some serious padding. I wore this dress braless because it's got a sheer panel in the back, but I wish I had some sticky boobs to help hold the dress up. I wore 4' heels with the dress and it hit the ground with just the perfect amount of draping. Color is stunning. I got so many complements. Looks great with a bold red lip.

Great Jessica Rabbit-esque dress, perfect for formal affairs.
I wore this dress to my fiance's Barristers Ball for his law school and I got so many complements in this dress! It's the perfect color of red, and won't wash you out even if you're fair skinned like me. I went bra-less in the dress and didn't have any issues with it being too sheer (even in pictures with flashes) or when it got colder in areas where it mattered. On the sides (under the armpit and towards the back area) it was slightly more sheer, but still not problematic. It was perfectly flouncy and flowy and just the right length. I wore Jack Rogers with it and it had just the tiniest bit of drag on the bottom, so if you're shorter you could definitely do heels with it.
