Such pretty colors!
I ended up wearing a different dress, but this dress was absolutely gorgeous and so, so comfy!! I am between sizes currently and got the 18P as the 16 was unavailable; the length was just above the ground with my 5'5" height and the bust area (38DD/36F) had a little room but could have been fixed with some fashion tape had I not found a different dress that worked for the specific event I attended.

Just not right for my body.
I've recently gained a significant amount of weight (currently 230lbs), so I worried that ordering my right size based on reviews would be too long for my 5'5" height. The 18 was long in the leg, but also FAR too big in the bust area, which I never have a problem with (38DD/36F). However, the waistband was almost too tight, despite everything else feeling like a garbage bag. This just wasn't cut right for my body; I didn't even take the 20 out of its bag.

Absolutely perfect.
This was my second time renting Kate Spade, and I loved this jumpsuit even more than the dress I'd rented previously. The jumpsuit was incredibly comfortable while still slimming, and was so fun to dance in. It was a struggle to send it back -- I wanted to keep it!

VERY low plunge, but smart and comfortable!
I didn't end up wearing this because with 36DD girls, the plunge neckline was just too deep for a work event (I didn't want to go with a cami and pin/tape did not help). But, it is BEAUTIFUL, comfortable, and otherwise would have been perfect.

Beautiful dress, wish it came one size larger!
This dress is a gorgeous deep teal, and I loved the back and the sleeves. Unfortunately, I'm between a 12 and a 14 right now, and the 12 was a little too tight to be appropriate for the event I was attending.

Simple elegance!
This dress fit incredibly well; I did feel a little tightness in the shoulders, but I experience that in almost every dress. The lace detailing is beautiful, and I loved that the length made it easy to dance in, but I wasn't worried about it riding up too much while spinning or sitting. This was my first Kate Spade, and I'll definitely rent again!

My friend loved it!
I rented this dress for a friend as a gift so she could try out an RTR dress. She loved it! The 14 fit her perfectly.

I wish I could've worn this!
Sadly, my actual size ended up not being available for my event, but RTR sent my backup size anyway just in case it worked. It unfortunately didn't, but I can tell that had I actually been that size at the time, it would've. It's on my list to try again!

This dress is a MUST rent!
This dress was absolutely exquisite. The material was comfortable and the dress fit well enough to show off curves but not so tight that Spanx were necessary (I wore pantyhose, but moreso because of the formality of the event than the need for smoothing!). The slit was a tasteful length, and even with my size DD chest, the neckline was still appropriate for an event where I was representing work. I wore my own necklace and earrings, and sparkly heels to add some more fanciness. I would ABSOLUTELY rent this dress again!

Beautiful. Comfortable. POCKETS.
I rented both the 12 and 14, but my chest size made the 14 absolutely necessary -- even then, it's a pretty busty dress. The dress itself is also a bit short if you've got a butt, and when you sit down it tends to stay in that shape when you get back up, so definitely smooth it down after you get up! Other than that, this dress was absolutely perfect.

Not for the large-chested!
This was such a cute dress! Unfortunately, I was not able to wear it because the dress is cut very small in the bust. The dress (in a size 14) fit perfectly around my torso and hips, but once zipped up the girls were on FULL display. I've had this experience before with this same designer, so I don't think it's just this particular dress.

Beautiful and elegant, but shapewear a must!
This was a beautiful dress for celebrating my birthday whilst on vacation. Dress fit true to size, but the material is very form-fitting -- I was glad that I'd thrown my shapewear in my luggage just in case (the dress was delivered to my hotel). Paired the dress with brown sandal heels and felt very elegant. It did ride up a little while walking, but not too revealing. I ended up being very overdressed for the restaurant, but that's not the dress's fault! :)

Be prepared to be the LIGHT of the party!
Rented for NYE, and this dress definitely looked the part with all the sequins! Be warned: you will DEFINITELY reflect the light around you. The dress fit pretty true to size, but is very, very, form fitting, so for me shapewear was an absolute must. My plans changed from a club to a more low-key house party, so I ended up going with a different dress, but this look absolutely screamed NYE bling.

PERFECT LBD with a little lace!
This was a great NYE dress for a house party, which I paired with a gold necklace from Target and nude heels. I rented the 12 and the 14, and both fit, but I went with the 14 for some extra room in the bust (I wear a 36/38DD and was a little squished up there in the 12). The fabric was so comfortable, and the horizontal lace striping was a really elegant extra touch. I have a feeling I'll be renting this one again!

I was dancing all night!
I was looking for a fun, spunky dress to wear for a wedding where Converse were the requested footwear, and this dress was absolutely perfect! I ordered the 10 and 12 and both fit well, but I went with the 12 as this dress is pretty short and I needed the extra length. I knew from the reviews that this was a RTR favorite, but it was proven when someone stopped me in the bathroom at the venue and told me they recognized it and loved it, too!

Wish I could've worn it!
I did not get to wear this as the dress I had rented did not fit... but this necklace would have been perfect. Up close, you can tell it has a bit of a costume-jewelry look, but from a few steps back (where most people would see) it really ties your look together.

Beautiful dress!
This dress was gorgeously understated, with very comfortable fabric and the foil detailing just peeking out of the bottom for a little bit of fancy. Unfortunately, I have a larger bust (36/38DD), and even with the help of shapewear I could not get the 12 to zip up past my bra line. Hoping I can rent this again one day when I'm further along my weight loss journey!
