Gorgeous skirt pattern
Gorgeous dress - loved the pattern on the skirt! The top was a little loose but the 4R was too small in the waist, so I just used a little fashion tape and it was OK.

Comfy gown for formal wedding
Loved the fit and color of this gown - BONUS for added pockets. Used fashion tape to keep the neckline in place, but didn't need a bra.

Movie-star-worthy gown
There was an issue with the initial dress I rented so RTR sent this one as a backup - glad they did because it was perfect ! Loved the beaded neckline and the diamond back.

Gorgeous silk wrap dress
Absolutely loved this silk wrap dress - it was super comfortable all night long. I liked the deep V but needed to use fashion tape to keep the neckline flat (otherwise it would puff out).

Tight in the ribcage, too loose on top
I rented this bump-friendly dress for a rehearsal dinner and while the dress shirt was perfect, the ribcage band was a little tight and the top was super loose and flouncy (which doesn't seem to be the style on the model). Even with the back strings tied tightly it was still awkward. I wore it anyway but would definitely pass on this one for next time.

Bump-friendly black tie stunner
This was the first black-tie wedding I attended after my baby bump appeared (17 weeks) so I rented this bump-friendly gown which had a ton of stretch and fit like a glove. Wore without a bra too ! Highly recommend, even if you're not pregnant :)

Formal, flowy gown. Loved the back!
Rented the 6P as backup but would have preferred a 4. I'm 135 lbs with 32DD bust and the top was a little too loose, so I used fashion tape. Also the boning was worn down and sticking into me, but not unbearable.

Beautiful gown for a black tie wedding!
I loved everything about this dress - the bright blue color, the off the shoulder neckline, figure-hugging thick stretchy fabric, the mermaid cut ... the list goes on! I'm not sure how 38R translates into US sizes, but I'm typically a size 4.

Va va voom !
I rented this dress for a fall wedding. I loved the figure-hugging fabric and silk detail on the shoulders and hemline. I was able to wear a strapless bra for extra oomph!

Stretchy, comfortable dress for winter wedding!
Loved wearing this dress for a winter wedding. I'm 5'5" and the hem was at my ankles (not calves like the model). The bust panel was too short vertically to wear a strapless bra, but was comfortable to wear braless with petals (size 32D).

Classic, tailored jumpsuit with pockets!
My size: 5'5" 130 32D. Loved the look of this jumpsuit - clean lines and very comfortable fabric. 4/5 stars because sitting down was very tight in the crotch and pulled down the top a bit.

Straps and bust were awkward and hard to adjust but loved the style and pattern
The back of the dress is what caught my eye but the bust was awkward (too loose?) and hard to adjust the straps on my shoulders so the neckline fabric would be flat. It wasn't too bad so I wore it anyway with a strapless bra to give it more structure. Unique cut and pattern , light flowing fabric perfect for summertime. Paired with black platform sandals.

Adorable back tie and flowy fabric!
Ordered this as a backup and wore both dresses because it was too cute not to wear. I knew it wasn't floor length per the other comments and paired it with black platform sandals. I may have be able to do the 2R at the waist but 4R was just right for bust (adjustable via back tie). Loved the pattern and side cutouts!

I loved the look of the fitted bust with flowy pant legs - received compliments all night!
I wore this jumpsuit to a company party along with RTR Antique Cascading Crystal Necklace & Earrings. I ordered the 2R with 4R backup; the 2R I couldn't pull up over my hips (I'm hourglass shaped) so I wore the 4R although the bust was a tad too loose. I'm assuming the 2R bust would have been better. I used a strapless bra underneath for extra padding to make up for the looseness, but can be worn braless. Regardless, I loved the look and received many compliments for pulling off a jumpsuit :)

Love the neckline! Tight in the hips, should have gone with size up (but not available).
I was 127 lbs when I wore this dress for a summer wedding in wine country. Loved the deep magenta color and fun gold neckline! Not a ton of stretch in this fabric and the dress was very tight around the hips. Would have preferred the 4R (which wasn't available for backup), but fit into the 2 with Spanx ;) I wore the 2L because the 2R wasn't available either. Definitely needed the regular length since the the 2L was way too long for even 3" heels. I ended up using hemp tape, which looked great, actually!

Wore for engagement shoot - dazzling sparkles!
I was 132 lbs when I wore this dress. I would have preferred the 6R but they only had 4R, so I managed with Spanx! At 5'5", I'm normally fine renting regular length, but this dress was shorter in the front than expected. I imagine it should have been an inch or two longer and had a bit of a train in the back, but the back just barely touched the floor for me in 3" heels. Despite the issue with the length, the dress was very comfortably (stretch fabric) and the sequins really glittered in our photos :) Photos by Marissa Joy Photography (www.marissajoyphotography.com)

I was 132 lbs when I wore this dress. I would have preferred the 6R but they only had 6L, so I just wore higher heels :) Felt like a princess in every way - the dress perfectly matched the scenery of our engagement photoshoot! Photos by Marissa Joy Photography (www.marissajoyphotography.com)

Wore for a rehearsal dinner / summer wedding in Napa valley. Comfortable fabric, no wrinkles!
I was 125lbs when I wore this dress. I find BCBG runs large in their XS/S/M/L sizes and I own another version of this dress (as a maxi dress) in XS, so I knew to order a size down. Soft, pleated fabric was great to travel with - no wrinkles!

Perfect for a summer wedding in Napa county! Dress was very comfy with soft fabric.
I was 125 lbs when I wore the dress and it fit perfectly. No bra needed. At 5'5" with 3" heels the length was great.

Ordered 6R & 4R - Would've preferred 6R but there was a defect, so squeezed into 4R!
I was 132 lbs when I wore this dress. Loved the fit - very stretchy material, no bra needed! The 6R was a better fit, but there were issues with the boning in the bust (of which I already alerted the RTR team) so I squeezed into the 4R without any issues.
