I wish I had been able to size up.
This dress is stunning and will make you feel so confident. I am 5'4" and between 145-150 lbs. I rented in the M and L. The L wound up out of stock. I wore the Medium. I really wish that I had been able to wear the Large. Even with shape wear, I felt like I was really making an effort to make the size work for me. It is quite long as well, at 5'4" it came mid-calf. This is definitely a wiggle dress. Stairs were a challenge. The color is gorgeous and I felt beautiful, just a little insecure. It is extremely form-fitting and the straps would not lay flat. I was able to go bra-less. Stunning dress, just needed a size up.

They're big!
Super cute, super fun. Just know that these are big. Like 35 mm or something similar. They're great, I just didn't realize how big they are.

Bring it!
This dress is stellar. It is very form-fitting, short, and attention-grabbing. If you wear this, plan to bring your confidence. I find that the brand Nookie tends to run quite snug. I am 5'4" and between 145-150 lbs. I rented in a size 6 and size 8. I wore the 8 with some high compression shapewear. The rouching does a great job of helping smooth you out. Again, it was very short on me at 5'4", I would think this is probably not going to work for tall girlies.

Ignore the reviews, this is true to size!
I was actually not able to wear this gown. All of the reviews said that it runs small and to size up. That is exactly what I did. I am a size 6 but sized up to both an 8 and a 10 to rent and they were too big. Go with your true size and you should be good to go.

Beautiful!
My original selection did not make it to me and these were a backup. They are beautiful! They are large but they matched the teal in my dress perfectly.

Wore to the theatre, compliments galore!
I wore this dress to a date comprised of dinner at the an expensive steakhouse and a touring Broadway musical. It was a hit everywhere we went. The dress is very true to size. It is very deep cut in the chest, so a plunge bra is a must but I did not have any issues with it. The length was more challenging for me. With 4 inch heels, the bottom just barely swept the floor. It is a head turner for sure. I would rent it again.

Very cute, subtle
These were super cute for Valentine's day. They are about the size of a nickle and are fairly subtle. Definitely worth the rent.

This dress stole the show
This is a bombshell dress. You will feel like a million bucks. It is deep burgundy velvet. The back laces up and there is a side zipper. I probably could have gotten away with a Medium, as the back was not snug on me. I did have a little bit of trouble with the cowl neckline, it did not want to lay symmetrically, so I wound up fiddling with it. I did not need any bra support in this, which is always a plus. I paired this dress with nude heels and gunmetal jewelry.

Valentine's Date
As others have stated, this is a true wrap dress. As a result, it is very low cut in the chest. I had some issues with fashion tape being able to adhere, so I was pulling on the top all night to ensure I was covered. The tie to close the dress is also a bit confusing. It slips through a hole in the dress and wraps around back, tying at the opposite side. My boyfriend loved this one and thought it had a very old hollywood glam kind of look. The color is very brick red.

Very flattering!
I got so many compliments on this dress. I am short, 5'3", so it was almost floor length for me and the cut was a bit like a mermaid. It fit wonderfully. The top is extremely low cut, so I did safety pin it. I can't recommend this one enough. Light weight, comfortable, and fashionable!

Unable to wear, Australian Sizing- Beware
I rented this dress and the size Medium for my Valentine's date night with my boyfriend. I am a US size Medium and size 8. I had such high hopes for this one! I tried it on and it was at least a size and a half too small. I checked the tag and it reads that it is made in Australia. Australian sizing is about 2 sizes smaller than US sizing. I could not wear either size. I wanted to make this one work, it just was not at all flattering in the belly.

Edgy, Fun Occassion Dress
This dress has been one of my favorite RTR rentals to date! I wore this dress on New Year's Eve. I ordered in 3 different sizes because I was nervous about fit. I ordered the 44 (US Size 10), 42 (US Size 8), and 40 (US Size 6). I initially tried on the 44 and it was probably the most comfortable, but the bodice was not as form fitting in the waist. I ultimately went with the size 42 (a size 8 is my usual street size). I currently weight 150-155 lbs and I am 5'3" with a 34D chest. As you can see, on me this dress is more ankle length than it is midi. I wore a pair of 4 inch heels with a 1/2 inch platform. This dress glimmers like crazy when the light catches it. I paired it with mixed metal jewelry for the edgy vibe. You cannot wear a normal bra with this- it is cut too low. If you are like me and have a super short torso, be prepared for this neckline to be below your underbust line. I wore adhesive cups for some lift but could have gone without. It has a zipper in the back and the dress has no stretch anywhere. There was a very big difference in the sleeve length between a 44 and 42. The sleeves on the 44 were full length, whereas the 42 broke just above the wrist (I have short arms as well, so if yours are long be prepared for them to be quite short). It is sexy and fun but still classy, dinner date appropriate. I definitely recommend this dress for those who are hourglass/athletic/rectangle shape. Probably not for those very full figure or apple shaped due to the zero stretch and very exposed bust line.

New Year's Eve
I wore this one on New Year's Eve and it was gorgeous. At the time, I was about 180 lbs and am 5'3", a size 14. There was a lot of cleavage happening. The color is fantastic.
