black tie wedding
So happy I rented this dress! I received compliments all night long about this dress. I typically wear a 4 but I have broad shoulders, so I sized up to the 6 and it was perfect. As others said, the slit is high, but I wore a pair of black fitted shorts underneath and had no issues.

Perfect for a citrus themed event
I loved this dress so much! I typically wear a 4, but sized up to the 6 because I have broad shoulders and the 4 was a little snug. It was super comfortable and got tons of compliments. Paired it with a pair of white Keds for a more casual look.

Perfect for baby shower
Wore this dress to my best friend’s baby shower and it did not disappoint! I have a broader chest and shoulders, so the dress was a little snug, but otherwise loved everything about it.

Such a fun dress!
I rented this for a friend's evening bridal shower and it did not disappoint. I opted for the XS because it was a little tighter in the chest and I felt comfortable going without a bra or special support. The length was a little short, but I anticipated that going for the XS. The fabric was light weight and breathable, so it could definitely be worn at outdoor events, despite having longer sleeves. Would recommend for a night out with girlfriends this summer!

I wore this dress for our engagement photos on Lake Michigan.
This dress was beautiful for engagement photos and had great movement while we were walking. Overall the fit was true to size (wore a 4L- I'm 5'9"). The back strap detail was gorgeous, and I love the way it photographed overall. The only issue I had with the dress is that the built in cups were a little funky and I wasn't able to straighten them out, but it wasn't noticeable in the photos. I'm using the RTR bridal program and so far I'm very satisfied! I was able to try on two sizes of this Jenny Yoo dress and one back up style before our engagement photos took place. The sent the dresses well in advance and the whole team was very responsive. I can't wait to get the rest of my styles for our wedding events!

Great for spring, runs very big
I wore this dress to a spring wedding. It was perfect for the fiesta theme, but it runs very big. I rented the two (usually go for a four) and I would have felt more comfortable sizing down again. It's also super low cut, so have a good strapless bra or be prepared not to wear one. The straps aren't adjustable either, so would occasionally slide off my shoulders. I gave this dress a four star rating because it was super cute and I did get a lot of compliments, but I struggled with the fit and inability to adjust the straps for my body.

"I need to know where you got that dress!"
I've used RTR for many years and this might be my favorite rental to date. This dress runs true to size and was perfect for a spring bridal shower. It's a light weight fabric but still feels very expensive. The pockets were also a great touch. I've never had so many people ask where my dress was from. The unique pattern definitely stands out and pairs nicely with subtle but colorful jewelry. Would recommend to anyone with an upcoming baby or bridal shower!

A show stopper
This dress was snug and the material didn't have much stretch, so I'm glad I sized up based on the recommendations. It's so elegant and pairs perfectly with black and nude heels. It was perfect for a fall wedding and I received so many compliments. Would definitely consider renting it again!

This dress is a show stopper!
I absolutely loved this dress and I'm so happy that I chose it. It hugged my body in all the right places and was very easy to move in (walking, dancing, sitting, etc). My only two issues with it were in the bust and in the length. I wear a 34B, so I had to wear a padded, strapless bra to fill out the top portion of the dress so I wouldn't have to pull it up all night. This worked out great, so I highly recommend it if you have a smaller bust. I'm also pretty tall, so with my 4 inch heels I was about 6'1" and the dress felt a little short on me (which was to be expected) but no one else besides me noticed. It's pretty snug in the body, so you may want a bathroom buddy to help zip you back up if you need to take a trip to the Ladies' room, but the tight fit also held everything in and gives your body a great shape. Overall, this dress is a knockout and I'll definitely rent it again if I have a formal event to go to.
