Loved this dress for a wedding while in my second trimester. The leg slit was a little higher than I thought it would be but I did really love this look!

I am obsessed with this coat!
This coat is awesome. I have never received so many compliments on a coat than with this one. It brought back some 90s vibes too as it did look fairly large sometimes. I went to a Medium because I have larger shoulders and long arms; but I loved/love the little oversize look.

Great work dress!
I am a fan of the Draper James work dresses; they are classy and cute. They do run a little small as I am usually a 4 but went with a 6 for this one.

Horizontal stripes are not great!
Beware those who don't look good in horizontal stripes, aka, me. I wore this dress just for a day trip in the city and although it was super comfortable, I quickly found out that I do not look good in horizontal stripes. It made me look much bigger than I am unfortunately.

Love this pink hi-lo!
Beautiful hi-lo dress. The top stays up while dancing up a storm as well! The color is a gorgeous pink. It is a very comfortable material, but fairly thick, so for a wedding that is either fall or spring/early summer. I love this dress!

Little tight on the legs, but all around sexy dress!
This is a gorgeous dress. The material is thick and a beautiful pattern. Beware larger chested girls, the front is very much open. I am a 34B and had to make sure I used dress tape just in case. It can be a little tight around the thighs and knees, so dancing can be a little restricted, but altogether it is a gorgeous dress!

Very cute!
Wore this dress to work for my birthday. It is a very cute, ruffle dress that has a hidden little slit because the two pieces of the skirt come over each other. I didn't fill out the full chest area, so I wore a bra, but I think most girls could fill it out and not have to wear a bra. I really liked this dress.

Awesome flowy dress for a winery tour day.
Beautiful dress to wear in the summer and not be too hot! This dress fit perfectly for a person my size, 5'4" with a smaller chest. I didn't have to worry about straps falling down or anything similar. The slits in the dress make it nice to walk in too!

Sexy, but beautiful dress for an outdoor Vermont wedding
This dress is perfect to add a little sexiness to your wedding look. The slit is perfect, just make sure it doesn't shift too much while dancing. Didn't need to wear a bra with the dress either. No additional tape, or pins need to keep it together, just a perfect LBD.

One of the best jumpsuits!
This jumpsuit killed it! I loved the sleeves on the arms. it was a perfect choice for a New Years Eve party. It was a little tight around the waist, but not too much that it couldn't be worn. I was a huge fan of where it sat on my shoulders/chest as well. It didn't have a latch on the back at the top of the zipper, so I used a safety pin to make sure the zipper did come undone.

This DVF dress was unforgettable! Such a fan of this lacy, green number.
First off, you will need to invest in some dress tape to use with it. But not a problem as long as you use right on the edges of where it is up against your chest. This dress will definitely make you stand up taller and make sure you have good posture throughout the night, but it's worth it. I loved this dark, olivey, green color. It's a perfect length for a 5'4" person too.

Absolutely stunning!
I love this dress and cannot wait to rent again! It was true to size and body hugging. I wore this to the ballet in NYC and it was a showstopper. I love the top frills over the chest area. The slit was just the right amount of sexy. I would definitely recommend for a wedding or formal event where a long dress is not necessary.

Lovely dress except for the strap breakin
This Yumi Kim dress was gorgeous! It was flowy, summery, and just perfect for a backyard engagement party. I loved the little tie front that created a small peephole. It was brand new when I got it as well so I got to take the tags off! The only problem was that just about an hour into wearing this gorgeous dress one of the straps broke completely off from the rest of the dress. Luckily I was able to sew it back on; hopefully RTR can fix it properly. Other than that, this dress was true to size and simply lovely.

This is a perfect summer work dress. I as able to rent this just before Labor Day! The colors are fantastic, with a neon pink! Perfect length. Little tight around the legs, but other than that it was great! Would definitely recommend for work and a great transition to after work drinks or dinner!

So many compliments on the dress!
This dress nailed it! It is a beautiful periwinkle color that looks gorgeous in the sun and perfect for a springtime wedding. Is it form-fitting and hugs in all the right places. The high list gives it a sexy feel to it, but not anything inappropriate. I loved this dress and will definitely rent again for a wedding.

Beautiful formal dress, that also has some sparkle!
This dress was not what I expected at first. I didn't know that there was sparkle underneath the black print. I loved it though! The dress material is a little bit heavy, which is why I chose not to wear it to the black tie event. I knew there would be a lot of dancing, and I want to get tired just from wearing my dress. I also have larger shoulders, so for these strapless dresses, I always go up a size to make sure the top will fit my 36B bust. The 6R did just that!

A bit heavy on the bottom, but gorgeous complimentary color for fair skin
Loved this dress for a black tie event. The bottom was a bit heavy, but not too bad. The back is beautiful as well. The chest area was easy to fill out, but probably could've used some cups. I loved the color of the dress on my fair (pasty) skin. I didn't end up choosing this gown for my event, but it was definitely in the running.

Gorgeous form-fitting, sexy dress
My favorite part of this dress was the neck. It really accentuates your shoulders, which I personally love to show. It was very form fitting, but not enough that you couldn't move in it. I didn't end up wearing this because I had unlimited and had sent it back to be able to try on some more dresses, and when I tried to re-order this through unlimited they didn't have it available.

Heavy material, but comfortable, was not able to clasp around chest
This Cynthia Rowley hi-lo gown was beautiful! The material is heavy, so be prepared to have that carried around during the event, but the color is a gorgeous blush. I didn't end up choosing this gown for my event because my back was too big for it to zip entirely up, the rest of the waist and dress fit well though.

Amazing color, was a little tight around the chest/back
This was a gorgeous color for a gown. Loved the pockets as well, but I wasn't able to get it to clasp around my chest unfortunately. My back is a little bigger so if I did end up wearing this I would need to go to a size 6R.

Had to go a size up to fit back/chest
I didn't end up keeping this for my event because the size 4 wasn't able to zip with my larger back. I am only a B cup but, but my shoulders and back are a bit larger. I am sure a size 6 would fit.

Loved, but needs a belt for those who like form-fitting dresses
This pattern was beautiful, but for someone who prefers form-fitting, you definitely need a belt. It looked pretty baggy even going one size down. The back is beautiful and the high neck I enjoyed, but I might need to go another size down.

Beautiful, sexy dress, just wish my chest filled it out.
I loved this dress! The slit is the perfect size, the high neck is gorgeous, and the belt is the finishing touch. The only problem was that my barely B cup couldn't fill out the chest space enough so that the fabric was taught. Even using fashion tape didn't work too well.

Loved this, but was tight in the chest area
This gown was gorgeous. The color was A+, the lace was just the right amount, and the mermaid, fanned out bottom was perfection! I was unable to zip right at the top though around my chest area, which is unfortunate. I believe it was because I had a wider back than regular size 4s

Didn't wear, not enough fabric in the chest area, but overall a pretty gown.
I didn't end up wearing this for my formal affair. I really liked the high neck of the gown, but the chest area was no covered enough, and there was way too much side boob. I have a swimmer's back and shoulders, so that could've been part of the problem.

Beautiful form fitting dress!
First off the color of this dress is amazing! I'd say it's closer to a pinkier-mulberry. The length of the dress for a 5'4" girl is perfect as well with some heels! The straps were slightly long, but I used tape to keep them in place, until I started dancing the night away. The chest area was slightly big for my barely B cups, so I grabbed a plunge, backless tape bra from Target and it fixed it perfectly! Highly recommend for a black tie event!

This dress was gorgeous! I had rented two dresses for the black tie affair, and went with the other simply because it looked just a teensy bit better. This dress though is beautiful, not too tight if you're going true to size, makes your shoulders look great, and has a cute back pattern!

I really wanted to try out a jumpsuit, but with my body type unfortunately it didn't look too great. I have a short torso and long legs. It wasn't as flattering as I had hoped it would be to my legs.

I loved this dress! It is deceiving because it looks as if it is a sweater and skirt separate, but they are one whole dress. The skirt was beautiful and flowed very nicely. The top was also very comfy and I loved the neckline. Will definitely renting this again.

I loved this dress. The hi-lo is a beautiful touch to the skirt. It was extremely comfortable and the back was perfect. Definitely would recommend this dress to someone looking to wear a classy, fancy dress with some twists. I have pretty big swimmer shoulders, size 36B bra, and a relatively short torso and this looked great!

Perfect dress for fancy night out!
I wore this for a date night with my boyfriend (belated NYE dinner) and it was perfect! I loved the color, a gorgeous deep red. The dress definitely runs small, so go a size up! One thing I noticed was that as a person with a barely B cup size (34B/36B) that I had trouble filling it out. I wore this awesome strapless adhesive bra from Target to help me properly fill it out, but if I had worn some pasties or even light adhesive bra pads, the inner fabric line would have shown. Overall, loved this dress and would definitely rent again.
