Wedding venue right on the water complete with frozen lemonade stand!
Wore this dress at 20 weeks pregnant and it was gorgeous! Allowed for stretch while showing off the growing bump. Wore the 8R and it was the perfect length and thankfully still zipped - the 10R was too long and the top too large. Very elegant!

Attended my first Hindu wedding - loved all the color and ceremony!
Wore this at 17 weeks of my pregnancy - as my bump was becoming more noticeable! Very comfortable with some stretch and I loved the vibrant color!

Played at my friend's wedding and cocktail hour - - the last time I will see her before we move!
I am 24.5 weeks pregnant and ordered the M and L. I had to wear the L in order to zip the back, but it was a great fit and allowed for plenty of stretch! It was comfortable, glamorous, and I got compliments all night.

The sparkle!
I ordered this size and the 6R and the 4R was perfect. Might have been able to wear flats or low heels with a little drag but I wore 2.5 inch platform heels and it was great! Shoulders fit perfectly for the low-ish neckline. The color was gorgeous and the sparkles were a stand out! Would definitely rent again.

Best weekend ever.
Rented the 2 and 4 and wore the 4. It fit right in the top area but was snug at the waist so it flared out a little more there than I would have liked. I have to be more careful to pick dresses that are fitted right below the bust and not at the waist! Fabric delicate and beautiful!

Best weekend ever.
Rented this for my day-after-wedding brunch but was too tired to actually wear it! Went with jeans and a shirt instead. Wouldn't have been able to wear it anyway because I couldn't get the zipper up. No other sizes were available at the time I rented. The 'R' length was fine but the 6 would have probably fit. Fabric and color were gorgeous.

Live band at the wedding reception!
Both sizes fit but since I am small busted the size 2 was more flattering. Great color! Got compliments the whole night.

Great for an outdoor garden wedding!
The black waistband rides lower than it appears in the photo; I was hoping it would be a little higher on the smallest part of my torso. The 4 was way too small and wouldn't zip. Thankfully I also got the 6 which zipped, but was still snug - I felt like I had to suck in my stomach and I was pulling up the dress while we were dancing so it wasn't so tight at my waist.

Wore this for my brunch bridal shower & bachelorette party later that night!
I've been staring at this dress since I joined RTR. Gorgeous color and love the metallic sheen! The 4 fit as well but was a little snug at the waist. The 6 was perfect.

Viewing the city on party trolley!
First experience with RTR was a success! The dress was a gorgeous color and very flattering. I ordered a 4 with a back-up 2 and ended up wearing the 2 because it was a little more slimming without being tight and the bust area fit me better. The pockets are very cute too! I definitely recommend this dress.
