classic piece to transition from work to play
I wanted a fitted black dress that was comfortable and sleek, and found it in this dress. Very well tailored, perfect under a duster or blazer. I could wear this to work, a dinner, or a shower and it would fit all venues beautifully. It is also very comfortable which, is always a perk when in the awkward phases of pregnancy

gorgeous cut, just not the right color for my complexion
I rented this dress, 6 months pregnant, for my sister rehearsal dinner. I absolutely adored the shape and fit, it felt very sexy without being too showy. The one issue is the color washed me out. I am quite pale, the the event is in December, so as a summer dress I will most likely be getting this one again. Just not the right dress for the time and occassion

whats not to love
When trying to get dressed for work pregnant, it is a constant battle between utility/comfort/and style. I don't want to look frumpy, and fuddy duddy just because I/m pregnant. But, I also don't want to exist within spanx. These pants are a dream, and may just have to stay at home with me through the remainder of my pregnancy

Bold Pink against Purple Mountains Majesty
The color of this dress is fantastic. I did run into the classic "pull the dress up so your boobs don't fall out" issue that happens with strapless dresses, but I felt like it was tailored beautifully when standing still or sitting. Very well structured and a perfect pop of color against the bright big skies of Bozeman

I had this as a second rental to wear to the rehearsal dinner of my best friends wedding. It has pockets (every basic girls dream!) and it is very much a classic party dress. Not typically my style, but the print was gorgeous.

Subtly sexy
This dress fits like a glove. I was worried the middle strap would make my mid section look like a play doh fun factory, but it does not! It's doesn't pull in at all, giving just the right effect while remaining comfortable. I have a large chest and comfortably went braless. True to size, with adjustable straps. Would absolutely get again

Pop of color with amazing shape
After having had a baby I did not know if I would ever wear a strapless or body con dress again. Fortunately, this one is structured to support a heavy chest as well as being a thick enough material to flatter and conceal. That being said...spanx are always a girls best friend

A cool and lovely dress, perfect for a summer shower
Choosing a dress for your own baby shower can be an ordeal, but this dress would make any expecting mama feel less like a hippo and more like a glamorous pregnancy goddess. I loved everything about this dress. The material is light and silky, the colors are vibrant and provide a gorgeous POP, and the cut is perfection for any body. This was the hardest time I have had giving a dress back. I will absolutely rent again next summer

A shining moment for a very pregnant bridesmaid
This dress is remarkably comfortable, sparkly, fun, and perfectly tailored for a pregnant body. When I found out I would be weeks away from my due date at my best friends wedding, I was horrified. Until she mentioned that she wanted all the bridesmaid dresses to be RTR. A quick glance on the website proved that this would be the winner. The v neck is sexy but still well tailored and the comfort and stretch of the dress is great.

A classic dress for a baby bump
I had read that there was so stretch to this dress in the midsection, so when I rented it at just a few weeks pregnant, I was hopeful it would work for a wedding once I was 6 months along. It turned out to be perfect! The dress has a nice snug fit giving me shape and enhancing each curve, especially the one made by the little tater tot growing in my belly. I have never gotten so many compliments! I will definitely rent it again. The only red flag is if you do have an athletic build, the arm holes are a bit on the snug side, so if you do have muscles plan on sizing up, but the pleating in the midsection slims you down no matter what size you are that day!

A long dress that could be formal or fun
My favorite rental to date. I had been itching to rent this dress since the first time I saw it on the website. The cut was fantastic, the print was so vibrant and fun, and it was as light as air. I wore flat sandals, and I am 5'9". So much room in the skirt for dancing, and the straps had lengtheners on them so you could get the right amount of cleavage that you wanted. Could not recommend more!

Felt fancy enough for a VERY nice rehearsal dinner
This was a last minute save that worked out so well! I would say the dress is probably 2 sizes larger, but it didn't ruin the styling. Even though it ran large it still looked very nice. It was also UNBELIEVABLY comfortable. Once again so appreciative of the customer service at RTR, simply perfect!

Beautiful color, fantastic lace, perfect for any event in the spring.
The fit is on the smaller end. Im typically a 4 but was an 8 in this dress. It is a beautiful dress, however, not slimming for someone with a large chest. The effect is similar to a mad men era with the full shirt and the preformed cups in the bustier. I got so many compliments throughout the wedding shower and the color is perfect for anyone with blue eyes.

The sisterhood of the traveling dress...looks amazing on every body type!
This dress was very special. It was form fitting, flattering, sexy, but not too showy. The cut outs on the side were discreet, but added so much. The elastic to the straps made the dress comfortable but also provides support to the gals too. The only accessory I wore, which the dress paired amazingly with, was neon pink bridesmaid sunglasses. Will absolutely rent again!

Not great if you have a large chest
The darts are a little awkward, and the chest flattens you out if you are on the later side. Very sweet dress though, just not for me!

The style makes you feel demure like a 50's housewife; a super fun and sassy one that is
The skirt is a little high, which can cut you off funny if you have a large chest. However, it is a really nice dress for people with a fuller chest because you can wear a bra and the cinched waist gives you a nice hourglass shape. The pink is a very flattering shade for any complexion or hair color Perfect for a wedding, shower, or derby party

This was a perfect rental for a beach wedding in California.
The support in the corset made it so that I did not fidget at all (which is hard for me). The fabric was gorgeous, light, and billowy. The color is more of a golden yellow than it is in the picture on the model, which was a pleasant surprise. Perfect for dancing, and just the right length to feel like a lady

The black lace is so delicate and gorgeous
The two sizes were pretty significantly different between the two. The 40 was very tight in the chest, however, the 42 was very roomy. Either way, the whole look of the dress was classic and elegant. The perfect rehearsal dinner dress!

The PERFECT bachelorette dress
The fit is fabulous, and the sequins really shine. The only downside is the fabric is very thick, which is flattering but it can heat up quick. Regardless, I felt amazing all night and loved the built in corset the sits at the top

Beautiful color and silhouette, just not right
The color was really wonderful, and the cut should have been really flattering, but I think it was because it was a little too big. Really should get the dress to be fitted. Even though the top still had some room, it flattened me right out, which I was surprised about. The lace is also gorgeous. even thought it didn't work for me, I think this dress is pretty fabulous

Dress is gorgeous, just a little short
The fit is really lovely, but if you have a long torso, the skirt is VERY short. I even sized up to see if it would be better, and the length remained the same. The color is a beautiful royal blue and the neckline is very flattering for a larger bust. Very nice, just not right for me

The ultimate party dress. Transitioned from the rehearsal dinner to bar perfectly!!
Tight in the chest and the length of the torso was a little shorter than anticipated, but the black ribbon makes your waist look nice and teeny :)

My mother in-law ended up wearing the dress!
I had added on a $25 rental which ended up fitting me better, so my mother-in-law wore this one, and it was ADORABLE on her! She got so many compliments all night long. It really is an ageless dress

It was a beautiful color and fit very well.
I wore this to my first bridal shower. The 4 fit better but there was a stain on the seam. The 6 just made the length longer, which was fine. It photographed beautifully and paired really nice with turquoise earrings. A very fun dress, i would recommend it for any daytime even!

A little short. but otherwise a really nice cocktail party dress. Got several compliments throughout the night on what a pretty color it was. Just wished I had been a little tanner to wear it
