Jumpsuit perfection
I usually wear a size 0, and the size 0 fit perfectly. I LOVED this jumpsuit. It's fun. It's flirty. The color is bright. Rent it. You won't regret it!

Great dress if you are shorter!
It's hard to find good off-the-rack mermaid-style options for short folks (very hard to use hem tape on these types of dresses in my experience). This dress though doesn't require any taping up! Both the 2R and 4R were a perfect length for me (5'3) with 3.5 inch or so heels. It also runs SMALL as noted by many reviews. Most of my RTR orders I've worn a 0--this time I wore a 4R. The 2R fit, but was not nearly as comfortable as the 4R. This was a great option for a formal black tie event.

Have a ball in a sparkly dress
I really love how this dress looked in photos, but it was, overall, my least favorite rental. Based on other reviews, I kind of thought that this dress would be too long on me, but I wanted something navy to wear to a Penn State event. I am 5'2/5'3 and on the smaller side, and the 0 was long on me. I felt somewhat maternal in it, but it didn't stop me from having a good time! If you're short, I wouldn't really go for this one. Also, it doesn't hit at your natural waist, so I think it also made me look wider. If you're tall and not curvy, probably ideal for you!

Pink 1920's Fun
I wore this number to a Gatsby-themed wedding. I wore a size 0, and it felt pretty large. I didn't think it did all that much for my figure. It was on theme and looked cute with a bunch of accessories so I was happy with it (but not over the moon). One of my more lackluster RTR outfits. I didn't have any of the issues folks had with the sequins. I will say that it was SUPER comfortable. Basically wearing a sequiny sack. Another positive, most guests were in black and gold, so it was much more unique for a 1920's themed event!

A ton of compliments
I was really excited to wear this dress because of all the RAVE reviews. When it first showed up, I wasn't all that impressed. I put it on, and it was a little big across the shoulders. I was surprised that it didn't fit as well as a lot of the reviewers said. Oh well. I was planning a big gala, so I didn't really have time to care. So. I packed it and threw it on while doing 200 other things. I received SO many compliments. I think other people seemed to like it more than I did. I wouldn't order it again...BUT I think it looked good in pictures and was a crowd-pleaser. It feels puffier than it looks in pictures. Despite all this, I would still recommend it if you want to wear a LBD with a bit of statement.

Elegant Summer Barn Wedding
This dress was one of the prettiest I have rented from RTR. I usually wear a 0 or a 2. The 0 fit snuggly, but the 2 was way too large on top for me so I went with the smaller size. I received numerous compliments all day and felt great. The only issue is that it was RECORD heat and the lining of this dress is satin and, as I said, the 0 was SNUG. That was a little uncomfortable at times--but I didn't mind! I would highly recommend.

One Year Anniversary Photos and Dinner
Pros: This dress photographs really well. There is a cute lace slip underneath (seen in photo). The material looks very expensive. Cons: The material is rather thick--so not great for summer-but luckily it was a cool day and not humid when I wore it. I thought it fit on the bigger size. I am usually a size 0 in Trina Turk, but this felt like I was swimming in it a bit without a belt. Since we were doing a one year wedding shoot, I wore my wedding belt with it (totally changed the fit in a good way) and my wedding shoes, that I had dyed navy (oh, and a fascinator, because why not).

Super fun sequin dress
When I first tried this dress on I was a little concerned. It felt a bit like I was wearing chain mail, however, after a few minutes I forgot all about it and was comfortable the whole night. The 0 I received was slightly snug, but ended up having a stain on the front, so I wore the size 2. Because it was a bit baggier I didn't have any issues with the sequins irritating my underarms (like some other folks noted). Anyways, I got a ton of compliments, felt super cute, and super comfortable. I didn't want to send it back! Highly recommend.

Cute summer dress
I wore this dress to a wedding weekend event paired with a white jacket (it ended up being a bit chilly!) and hot pink espadrilles from J.Crew. I am on the shorter end (around 5'3), so I typically have to have my short dresses altered. This dress, however, was the perfect length (right to my knee). The fit was also spot on, just the right amount of snugness.
