BRIGHT dress
This print was very bright in person and so I chose another dress instead.

Fit well but flattering?
This dress fit well but I didn't love the horizontal ruffles when I was wearing the dress. Ended up wearing a more formal feeling rental for my sister's rehearsal dinner.

Lightweight & Cute
This dress was light weight and easy to wear for a summer rehearsal dinner. The 2 fit but the zipper has no hook/eye at the top and I was worried it would unzip over the course of the night. Size 4 fit more comfortably up top and I wasn't worried about the zip. Back of dress is stretchy but I'm not sure if it could accommodate large busts.

Flattering and Summery
This dress would work well pregnant or not! The fabric was lined and fairly thick (but not hot) with lots of stretch. The pattern was flattering and summery. It fits true to size. The dress is straight through the bottom. Thanks to the stretch it isn't hard to walk in but your legs will be hitting/pulling on the fabric a bit. I rented this dress for my anniversary in Antigua (excuse the photo background, we forgot to take any photos until we got home).

Thick Material, Straps too Long
That fabric is thick and flattering, however, the straps were too long for me and not adjustable. This may work better for a woman with a bigger chest.

Comfy and semi-formal summer dress
This dress was easy to wear although not the most flattering. The straps are adjustable which was great. The dress is flowy so will hide what you want but also doesn't flatter per se. Rented for a date in Antigua and it served its purpose.

Bust: 32B
Thick Material, Flattering Fit
I really liked the sweetheart neckline & length of this dress! Super flattering! The top was a touch roomy (which is normal for me, 32B) but I added extra padding. I think it would have been fine without the padding. No issues for me with the dress staying up but the fabric is thick. I think what helped was that the fit was very snug on my rib cage. Secure, not uncomfortable. Loved the pockets and got lots of compliments! This isn't a pattern I'd normally choose but I was really happy with it!

Beautiful Color but Odd Fit
The top of the small was snug but totally workable. The problem was that the hip area was too big/laid funny. This really surprised me as I have a small chest and wider hips. All in all this dress was not flattering at all I ended up quickly ordering another. I'm thankful this dress arrived early so I had time to make a change. Loved the color but fit was not good.

Figure flattering LBD
This dress was very flattering - fitted but not too tight. The fabric was thick but I wore spanx anyway to smooth things out. The only issue I had with the dress is that I did have to pull it down from time to time. I imagine this dress could be tricky with a large bust. The arm holes on me were slightly big (small bust) but nothing noticeable or annoying. Many compliments - I wish I had a photo that did it justice.

Comfortable lightweight summer-y dress
I rented this dress for my aunt's "garden" wedding. It was SO hot out but this dress is lightweight and breathed well. The top stayed up well but be mindful it is a little roomy on small busted girls - nothing too annoying though or noticeable to anyone else. I wore a slip underneath the skirt because I was concerned about the dress being see through on a sunny day but I'm not entirely sure the slip was needed. The fabric didn't seem too sheer but I figured better safe than sorry! I wore the Small - fit true to size. I'd highly recommend! It was unique and cute without drawing excessive attention. Felt summery and stylish!

Not meant for a small chest
Beautiful color and fabric but not meant for pear shapes! Tight on the hips/rear but roomy in the bust. I didn't wear this dress due to fit issues. I'd recommended for average bust size women or maybe slight hourglass. There isn't much stretch to the fabric.

Beautiful but short
The detail on this dress is heavy but stunning. The fabric itself is heavy too, but that makes it more flattering. My issue with this dress was the length. Even at 5ft 9in I RARELY have to order a "long" so I got two "regular" sizes - I was wrong. The 4 fit my body but was too short for me to feel comfortable (even with short, 1.5inch, heels). Order your regular size and a LONG if you're at all on the fence .

Cute but very fitted
The color of this dress pops and the side detail it unique but subtle. The dress ran small for me. I think a 4R may have worked with very tight spanx and no eating/dancing but I opted not to wear either size that I received. Thanks to RTR for helping me with a replacement!

These earrings are good quality but the colors aren't as vibrant or varied as pictured. Mostly greens and browns

Flattering and form fitted
This purple color is really vibrant without being overwhelming. The XS fit well without being too tight (normally I'm a small). It was figure flattering and the pattern was subtle but added extra interest. The condition of the dress wasn't the best I've had from RTR but nothing anyone else noticed.

Lightweight Blush dress perfect for my fall rehearsal dinner
I really loved the color of this dress when I got it in the mail. The fabric almost looks like an alligator print up close. The shape allows for a fuller hip but the top has less spare space (not a problem for me!). The pockets are great and the scooped back adds a little interest to the dress. Perfect for my rehearsal dinner! If it were 1/2 inch longer I may have loved it even more

Flattering and Unique Bridal Shower Dress
This dress fit soooo well and photographed great! The tightest point is just above the natural waist so if you have a larger rib cage or bust, you may want to size up. I wish the dress was half an inch longer, but I didn't feel inappropriate or worry about sitting down. The back is sheer-ish so you will see your bra/the outline of it, but I didn't feel like it was tacky. I added a jean jacket when it got chilly

Great fabric but runs short
I rented this dress for my Bachelorette Party in a small and medium. The small fit better but was too short. It was the kind of short where it wouldn't cover my bum when I sat down. I chose to wear the medium but, as you can tell from the photo, the body of the dress was too big especially for me with a small bust (length was better though). The fabric was soft and thick which I loved but I wouldn't rent again because of length issues. Might be better for a slightly shorter girl. Wasn't a bad dress, just not noteworthy. As always though, RTR experience was great!

Engagement photos
This dress is beautiful when standing up but doesn't sit quite as smoothly. The color worked really well for my outdoor engagement photos, the vibrant green stood out among some very green backgrounds. It fit true to size, slightly roomy on top if you have a smaller chest. Overall, happy with the rental!

I had been so nervous about us if RTR but the process was super simple!
This dress fits very snug which makes your booty look great but makes getting in and out tricky! Since there is no zipper I ended up putting it over my head prior to makeup/hair. all in all a great dress for a charity auction!
