Gala Dress - Gorgeous!
This dress was a replacement for another one that ended up not being available, but I'm so glad - it worked out beautifully! Felt like a princess. Plenty of room in the chest and I'm very busty. Would rent again!

Conference Dress
I rented this dress when I was speaking at a large conference for work. It was fantastic! The material is kind of stretchy, lined and fairly heavy. The color doesn't show up great in this hotel-room pic, but it's a beautiful shade of blue; this was at the end of the day, after a big dinner, but earlier in the day it was smooth & fit perfectly. Definitely runs large; I'm very busty and the extra large hung on me. Got a lot of compliments at the conference. Loved this dress, would definitely rent again!

Beautiful dress!
This dress is gorgeous - I felt really pretty in it. The color is beautiful. Warning - I'm a 36G and needed to wear the 12 to get it to fit on top - and it was still tight. The bottom was very loose because of that, but overall, still looked decent. Definitely need to size up if you're large-busted. I would rent this again.

Deceptive shape!
This dress was picked out for me by RTR when something happened to the one I ordered. I'm so thankful I had something else because it didn't fit at all! I got an 8 and a 10. The top looks all drapey & I thought it would have plenty of room at the bust, but it's just s tube inside - the draping is only for show on the outside. I couldn't even zip it up. Color didn't look good on me either.

Amazing detail!
I got this dress when the one I ordered didn't work out. It was beautiful! From the other reviews, I knew it would be tight, and it was, but I'm a 34G & I was able to zip it up! Fit like a glove. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the color on some of the beading was wearing off & the hook & eye was missing at the top - I had to quick sew one on myself. It's a gorgeous dress though & I felt like a princess, got a lot of compliments. The embroidery detail & beading is amazing. Don't need much jewelry. I just wore some earrings.

Very Pretty!
I rented this dress for a wedding rehearsal dinner. After reading reviews, I rented the size 12, because I am a 34G bust. It fit perfectly with plenty of room - a little big in the waist. I probably could have worn the 10, but the material doesn't have any stretch, so the 12 was comfortable for sitting & bending & such. It reached my knees & was modest enough to wear to church the same w/e. The color is a really bright pink, brighter & darker than I expected. I got compliments on it. Wore with nude shoes & blue sparkly jewelry, which worked really well. Would love to rent this again!

Comfortable Dress
Wore to a bachelorette party. This dress is a gorgeous color, but it has very little shape. It comes as 2 separate pieces - the under slip has no stretch & I ended up wearing the large so it didn't pull funny, but wore the medium lace overlay & that part, which is very stretchy, was still way too big. I could easily have used a small (and I rarely size down with RTR dresses!) I'm a size 34G & there was plenty of room in top, which was a plus for me. It was super-comfortable. Runs very short - don't bend over! I might rent again, but likely would look for something that fit a little better. Loved the color.

Cute dress
I rented this when I had to sing with my mom and sisters at a church event. Length was good for that, hit right at the knee. Gorgeous color & I got compliments on it. The fabric does stretch some, but it's very thin so it doesn't hide anything. I ended up wearing a sweater because it was chilly & the fabric has no warmth. Would be great for a summer event, even though it has sleeves. I took one star off because it just didn't seem much different than a dress I could buy elsewhere. It was cute - just not exceptional.

Princess Dress
This truly did feel like a princess dress - very girly. I rented it for Easter; got a lot of compliments. I am actually a 36DDD, and the 10 fit perfectly, but I ended up eating the 12 just because it was a little easier to move in & I had a lot of activities at church that day. Length was perfect, even up front at church, hit right at my knee. Dress was a little worn, only reason I took 1 star off. It's actually 3 layers, and 1 is a fairly heavy silk so it might be too warm for summer even though it looks light. Definitely more peach than pink underneath. Wore with nude heels & pearls. The lace makes it so dressy that it doesn't need a lot of accessories. Liked the pockets! People told me it was flattering - hung nicely on my frame. I'm not 100% sure - larger bust + full skirt maybe not my most slimming look, but definitely curvy. I did like the dress. Would rent again, if the right occasion came up.

First rental - very happy!
I was so nervous about renting a dress I'd never tried on. Reviews & photos & people's size info were SO helpful. I am a 36D+++ so wasn't sure if the top part would fit but it did. Little bit of stretch. It's pretty short. Great color, lots of compliments, love the "cape." Would rent this again!
