Felt like a princess
I wore this to an anniversary party at Disney World, and it had a very grown-up Anna in Frozen vibe. It was comfortable and just the right length -short enough to feel young and casual, long enough to track down and pick up a toddler without baring it all. I sized up to a 10 so I would be extra comfy able to indulge in the catered food. Fit me and my short torso perfectly! Probably one of my top 3 RTR dresses.

sky blue beauty
Dress was quite long on me (5'4") even with 3" heels, but the color was beautiful and the snap on the wrap top kept it modest.

Breezy dress, gorgeous color
The dress was overall very good. The length was long enough for me to feel comfortable chasing and playing with my toddler and the color was a beautiful rust color. The waist sat a little strangely (I have a short torso), and the wrap top showed my bra if the waist wasn't pulled down just right.

Sun dress you can nurse in
I wore this to the first wedding I attended with our daughter (4 months then). I followed the advice of another reviewer and safety pinned the shoulders to keep myself covered for the event, and unpinned them when I needed to nurse. The dress was good quality, comfortable, and summery.

Elegant, but not for full busts...
Despite being listed in the category for "Full Bust," there is not ample room for an actual full bust. I usually wear size 6, and the dress fit me at the waist and hips, but barely zipped over my chest, even without a bra. I am a size 38E. There is no stretch, either. Otherwise, the dress is lovely, with an elegant pattern that isn't too showy. It hit me right at the knee.

Monet Garden Dress
Lela Rose
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 38D+
colorful and sexy
This dress fit beautifully. It's form-fitting and slimming, but the fabric is thick enough to hide little flaws. It's also quite comfortable. The color is a beautiful true blue. There was definitely some pilling on the fabric, but it's only barely noticeable (around the neckline.) The length was good, but sometimes it rode up a bit, and the lining and outer part didn't always ride up at the same pace. But, I didn't find this to be an issue and I really enjoyed the dress.

Ian Se Beijing Dress
Yigal Azrouël
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"

beautiful fabric, unique shape
I actually wore both the 6 and the 8: the 6 for a dinner date at a formal restaurant, and the 8 with a jacket over it for church the next day. The 6 was a little hard to zip but more figure-flattering. The 8 was more comfortable but looked better with a jacket over it. I tried to use fashion tape for the front flap when I wore the 6 but it didn't stay in place - I kept having to adjust the dress, especially if I had been sitting. The 8 was large enough to stay respectably closed without tape. The picture here is of the 6. The fabric is beautiful and expensive-looking. The cut was unique but beautiful.

Rusted Orange Dress

Usual Size: 8

classy but sparkly party dress
The dress definitely runs large, but with that taken into consideration, it fits great. It's flattering, and the length is not too short. I wore it to a new years eve dinner date and got complements from my waitress and the older couple sitting next to us. The color is very versatile and can go with either silver or gold jewelry.

a sparkly accessory that's just the right size
These earrings were perfect! They were just large enough to be noticeable, but small enough to not pull on my ears uncomfortably. The shape is beautiful and the craftsmanship is high quality: it doesn't look like it was just made in an earring mold.

Elegant and figure-flattering
I wore this to a *very* expensive restaurant, and I wanted to feel like I belonged by wearing a classy designer dress. The dress fit beautifully. Even with the cap sleeves, my arms and shoulders felt comfortable. I wore mid-thigh-length spanx with it which helped me feel more confident, though I probably didn't need them. The fabric had a good amount of stretch, and I felt comfortable in it through all 14 courses. The cut is fairly conservative (so appropriate for almost any setting) but it is form-fitting enough to be sexy. I liked that I could wear a regular bra with it!

Tuck It Away Sheath

the perfect "something borrowed" for my wedding
This gold cuff is elegant and great for people who have small wrists. Usually bracelets slide around on my arm a lot (even the ones that are supposed to be tight-fitting,) but this stayed put. I'm tempted to rent it again with every other dress I rent from RtR.

classy but fun dress for a bridal shower
Both the 8 and 10 fit ok, though the 10 gave me a bit more room in the bust and waist that was nice for a party that involved noshing on cupcakes. The fabric was very high quality and the dress was beautiful.
