Dh has a work event in 2 weeks. I need a black tie dress that is flattering to a post partum figure as dd3 is less than 2 months old. I am open to buying or using rtr. Budget is $300.

Anyone want to help dress me?

I think I'll use RTR, since this is a temporary size for me. These are the ones that caught my eye:

How does this work - do you just rent one and hope for the best? I know you can pick another size but I'm more worried about the style.

I really like the 1st one. :)

I think that the customer photos really help for figuring out about the style.

Snugglebunnies good tip on looking at the photos. The third one looks like its the most universally flattering- looks beautiful on everyone!

Are you nursing and if so you will need to keep bra needs in mind.. What is your body type?

They give you an option to rent a second style at a reduced price. You can only get one size in it though.
