Simple and easy
I know this one has mixed reviews, but I liked it! I found it to be comfortable and easy to wear. I am 5’5”/135 lbs- I typically hover between an xs and s but the xs was unavailable. The small fit, maybe ran slightly large- an xs would have been good as well- it did stretch out a bit over time. I wore to a holiday gathering- could be worn to work, dinner out, etc. versatile look.

Great work dress for pregnant ladies
Wore this (size small) at 28 weeks pregnant and there was still some wiggle room. Pre-pregnancy I typically wore a small or xsmall with this designer so I'd say the maternity size would be true to your pre-pregnancy "regular" size. Very comfy and got lots of compliments.

Perfect summer wedding dress!
Absolutely loved this dress and received many compliments on it during the evening. It's colors are bright and vibrant making this a great choice for a summer wedding. Two things: 1)The dress runs TTS/maybe a bit on the smaller side so size up if you're between sizes. I'm normally a 2/4, and I have a fairly athletic build. The issue for me was the shoulders (perfect fit/slightly snug in the 2, a bit too big in the 4). I went with the 2, but in terms of appearance, both looked very similar when I had them on. 2) the lining underneath the top layer of the dress kind of bunches up and feels a little uncomfortable...for that reason, I probably wouldn't rent this dress again, but it definitely was a good choice for my event!

Cute spring dress
I really liked this dress! It's cute, lightweight, and comfortable. I am typically a 2/4 or xs/s and I wore the XS...not sure why the rtr app is saying I wore a 6R. It does run big, so if you're between sizes, size down for sure. I have a pretty athletic build and broad shoulders and the top was very roomy, which isn't always the case for me. Got lots of compliments. One thing to note: there is a slit that runs up the middle of the dress. I'm 5'5" and I felt a little self-conscious about how high the slit went up right between my legs! Wasn't a deal breaker, but borderline it almost led to me not wearing the dress so beware.

Endless compliments!!
I absolutely loved this dress!! The color is such a vibrant red and the dress has kind of a retro-feel to it. I wore it for work and received non-stop compliments all day. I am 5'5" and have an athletic build. I would say this dress is true to size, and if you are between sizes to size down. The small probably would have been okay, but I like my things a bit more fitted and the XS was perfect. Super comfortable dress. Perfect for late fall or early spring. I paired w brown ankle boots. I liked it so much I wore it to dinner w friends later in the week.

Cute every day dress
Comfy and stylish . Easy to wear! Lots of compliments. True to size. I'm typically an xsmall or small. Small fit but I think x small would have worked too.

Not impressed
I really wanted to love this dress, but it didn't work for me. I got a 4, and am typically a 2 or a 4. The 4 was too big, and the color wasn't entirely flattering. I would definitely try this dress in the black. If you are between sizes I would size down in this dress.

I wanted this to work but
This dress is super cute, but unfortunately way too skin tight for work, I should have gotten a medium. I typically am a small or x-small, and the small fit but was extremely tight and not comfortable so I didn't wind up wearing it. So if you order this dress be sure to size up at least 1-2 sizes!

cute fall dress
This dress didn't wow me, and is probably most flattering for taller ladies. I have a more athletic build, and am 5'5"... the dress was okay, but it wasn't super flattering on me, and was nothing to write home about. I wouldn't rent again.

Simple and classic!
Wore this for a "conservative" dinner party. Dress was perfect for the occasion...and super comfy! Nothing flashy about it...but it is a flattering dress that look great on many body types. I'm 5'5" with an athletic build, and the length and fit worked just fine for me! I'm usually a small and wore the xs. I guess it depends on the look you're going for, but I found it ran slightly big. Would recommend for sure.

Great dress that will turn heads!
If you're considering renting this dress- just do it! I wore it to an outdoor summer wedding and got compliments on it all night long! The color and fun little slit make it stand out for sure. I found the overall fit to be slightly big. I'm typically a 2 or a 4 and they only had a 4 so I had to go with that size. I had to keep pulling up the top throughout the evening. That being said, I still loved the dress, and I would rent it again.

Adorable dress with a sassy back!
Loved this dress! It runs a little big so I opted with the two over the four. Tons of compliments- wore it for a rehearsal dinner. Definitely recommend.

LOVED this dress! Beautiful color!
Great dress! I wore it for my sister's rehearsal dinner and received tons of compliments on it. Fits like a glove and I love the lace and bright color- perfect for a spring event. This dress runs true to size as I am typically a 4. One thing- careful when zipping and unzipping because the zipper can get caught on the dress. LOVED this dress. Already want to rent again!

Beautiful dress!
Great dress! I got lots of compliments and it was super flattering. My hips are a bit "wider" and I typically wear a size 4, but this dress had little give so I had to size up. A great first RTR experience! I've already rented another one for an upcoming event!
