Warm weather wedding shower
I wore this dress to my wedding shower in CA. I loved the fit and thought it was very flattering. My one issue is when I sat down (which is common at a tea party), the lace and tulle would snag on each other and when I stood I was nearly flashing my bottom to people. I can remember at least 3 separate times that people had to fix the back of the dress for me. Other than that,it was comfortable and I felt pretty!

Cold weather bridal shower
This dress was very comfortable and flattering. The pin tucking at the waist gave a flattering shape but I didn't feel constricted in my larger tummy area. The lace was beautiful and very flattering. I wore it with black tights and booties and felt dressy but not overdone at my wedding shower.

This one was a winner!
I rented this dress as one of two outfits for my engagement pics. It is a very comfortable fit, even in the bust. The lining is thick satin and felt very supportive. The lace is beautiful and the color really popped, my photographer was pleased. I would rent this again for a daytime event, I have no complaints about the fit.

Very nice, but wouldn't rent again.
I wore this as my second outfit for my engagement pics, and this dress is gorgeous. It is this lovely sort of light tweed, and has an open back which I enjoyed. However, as is often the case with a full bust and a fabric that doesn't give, it was pulled across my chest and sort of cut in under my arms... also it gave the illusion of back fat which I was super aware of throughout the photo session. I am happy with the way it photographed, but there are definitely more flattering and comfortable options out there.

Sassy, Shimmery, got lots of compliments
This is not my favorite RTR dress, but it got the job done. I got an 8 and a 6, I'm usually an 8 and wore the 6. The sequins on it are a bit loose, they hang and snagged on themselves a few times (I had to untangle the sleeve from the body of the dress a couple times while wearing it). I wore it for an outdoor wedding and wished several times that it was sleeveless, but that's my bad for wearing to a summer event. It photographed really well, the photographer actually had me hold the bouquet to use the dress as a background in pics! Other people really liked it, and there was definitely nothing terribly wrong with it, I've just had other rentals that wowed me.

Wish I could have used it!
I got this clutch to go with a gold evening dress I rented for a wedding, however, when the dress arrived, it was rose gold. I didn't end up using the clutch, but it is a lovely muted gold shade and it is textured, it is really beautiful.

Glamorous, shimmery and well-fitting
This dress was surprisingly comfortable. I was concerned about the sequin cutting in at the arms or scratching me throughout the night, and I never had an issue. It stretched in the right places (bust) and kept its shape in the right places (stomach... ok I also wore spanx, which I recommend with this one). It wasn't too long, I'm 5'2 and wore 5 inch heels, I have a tendency to hold long dresses when I am walking, but I don't think I needed to with this one, it's just habit. I got a ton of compliments, which was important since I wore it to my ex-boyfriend's wedding hehe.. but the biggest surprise for me was... It's rose gold!! I loved the color, but I was expecting more of a champagne gold, so I wasn't prepared, I ran out and got jewelry to go with a rose gold dress the day of the event. I would rent this one again.

Very comfortable, would wear again!
This was my first rental, for a wedding in September, and I was really happy with the experience. It arrived on time and in good condition. The fabric is thick and kept its shape all night, and I didn't feel like I was stretching it or falling out at any point. For some reason, I was expecting like an antique gold color, and it is very clearly silver. but it really wasn't an issue. I got lots of compliments and got to promote RTR to many people :).
