The fit was very accurate. I measured myself with the size chart and found myself to be a zero. I ordered this size and the dress fit great! It was very comfortable and I didn't have to pull it up to often. I would definitely recommend this dress, its very elegant and unique.

Beautiful dress!!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented this dress for a winter black tie affair wedding. The color is beautiful in person, a vibrant red! You definitely can not wear a bra with this dress, but the structure kept everything in. My only complaint is the under-wire around the bust kept digging into my skin causing an annoyance. I ended up ordering a long after reading the reviews. I felt being 5'6 in heels a regular length might be too short. However, the dress was extremely long and most of the night when I walked/ danced I had to hold it up to prevent stepping on it. I got a Ton of compliments for this dress "Lady in red" and would highly recommend it! Thanks RTR

I loved this dress! I wore it to my school's Ring Dance. It is very true to size and fit very well. The only problem I had with it was the length. I'm 5'6 and wore 2 inch heels and the dress was very short. I would recommend flats with this. Also, this dress is more red in person (which I loved). Overall a great dress!

This dress is a show stopper! I got compliments all night long. What an amazing gown!!

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I was quite worried about fitting into the dress. I have an athletic hourglass figure. I have wider hips, muscular thighs, and a larger bust. I was worried it would make me look big in the wrong places and that I would be busting out of the top. None of this was true! The dress fell just right and was really, really flattering on my figure. The only problem was my bust - there is no internal cup and I had to kind of mold myself into place and keep adjusting. The corset was a little big around the waist, so I had to hoist it up every now and then. But I don't think I would have squeezed into a 2, so this is the best I could do. But most sleeveless dresses have this problem, and it wasn't particularly bad. I used some two-sided tape and that helped a little. All in all, I loved this dress. If your dimensions are similar to mine, get the 4 and you will love it. :)

Beautiful color that stands out and I loved the sweetheart neckline. I have a fuller bust, but it still fit me perfectly! If you're short, make sure to order the shorter sizes and wear at least a 3 in. heel.

This dress was great for my sorority's formal! Although it was a little tight, my friends thought it was perfect and loved how it fit on me. It's flattering on the bust and hips and the length was just right with tall heels. I'm so happy I had such a beautiful dress for my last formal!

The fit and the fabric of the dress were gorgeous!

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The size 2R fit me perfectly (with a padded bra), except it was too long and I had to use fashion tape on the hemline. As other reviewers said, it's more of a red than pink. I think it looks just like the picture, no surprises there for me. The zipper was stuck but I put some chapstick on it and it worked. Try that if it happens to you. Overall I really liked this dress and got many compliments on it.

Size worn: 0R

I wore this dress to my senior prom. I absolutely adore this dress! If I were to do it all again, I would have ordered the 0L since it was shorter in length and I like to wear tall heels. Also, the dress wrinkles very easily. I kept on getting compliments all night on the dress. Definitely will order it again if I have a formal event!

I ordered this dress for my senior prom, and it was everything that I could have hoped for! I ordered a 2R and 4R. The 2R fit perfectly. The zipper got stuck, but other than that it was great. Also, it was a lot darker than I expected, but I still loved it. :)

I got alot of compliments on the dress, and it was great because I only spent $75 to rent it. Other girls spent over $500 and didn't even make Top 10 or win.

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wear a size 3 or 5 in pants and a size medium in shirts. I am 5'6 and 135 pounds. I got a size 4R and 6R and the 6R fit me perfectly. The size 6 fit better than the 4 because i have a bigger chest area lol. I wore the dress in a Charm Revue pageant at my school and made the Top 10 out of 30 girls. Its simple and cute and goes with black or silver accessories. Its a darkish-hot pink, it looks a little red. The material is silky and comfortable and doesn't wrinkle. Be careful though b/c the zipper is hard to work at first.

The dress is wonderful! It is soft and weightless. A few other people said that the dress runs big but it doesn't. It fits true to size. I have a small bust and rib cage so the 0 would have fit better. Accurately measure yourself and get the smaller ,if you have a small bust. I listened to other reviews and got the size I measured at and a bigger one and neither fit me.

That I could wear a gorgeous designer gown for such a low price!

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this gown for a New Years Eve wedding and it looked gorgeous on the hanger but even better on! It was extremely comfortable and didn't wrinkle which was important since I was in it for over 7 hours. I'm 5'4'' and I wore 3 inch heels and the length was perfect. I was worried it might be too long and I couldn't have it altered but it fit great. The sweetheart neckline is very flattering and I received a ton of compliments. Definitely recommend for a special occassion!

This was a great dress, but I definitely do not recommend it for the smaller chested. I wanted to wear this dress so badly, and the color is just as bright and lovely as the picture, but A cups beware! The shape of the top is not flattering for us, and even padding can't make up what nature didn't give you. I'd recommend this dress, just not to anyone with a small bust size like me. Trust me.

Overall fit: True to Size

I rented this for my husband's military ball. The dress was very forgiving in the bust and hips, however, I would recommend proper foundation, like Spanx, to keep the material from clinging and revealing underwear lines. The hem was a wee bit shorter than anticipated. It fell at the top of my toes, but this was not a deal-breaker because it just showed off my cute jeweled sandals and pedicure.

It fit quite large on top, and the fabric seemed.. cheap. The color is also MUCH more pink that it looks in the picture. However, I still had a great experience with Rent The Runway, because they sent another dress that I ended up liking much more.

The dress was much more red than pictured. There was no need for bra with the boning support and this fit well. I wear a 36-38 Full D. The pleating compliments any figure. I am 5ft 9. I ordered the 8R and this fit me well and the length was good with 2.5" heels. But I am smaller waisted with thicker legs. So in pants I wear a size 10. I did get compliments as I wore this as "Scarlet" with a red boa for themed Christmas Party.

This dress was gorgeous. My dad was beaming. I ordered it for a Marine Corp ball, however wore a different dress. The zipper kept getting stuck, but the material was beautiful. I traveled with the dress and when I reached my destination the bottom was super wrinkly. I ultimately wore the other dress because it was more sleek and comfortable. This gown had boning and I felt my "love handles" were sticking out. I would not have necessarily worn spanx if I choose this dress though. Definitely a great dress and I would recommend to all sizes.

The picture is definitely better than it looks in real life. Its a pretty dress but when i got it the first thing I noticed was the color was a bit faded and didnt look like it did in the picture on the website. This was also my back up dress so I'm glad I got more than one option. I ended up wearing my other option which was also Badgley Mischka. Also, I wear a 0 and got a size 0L which is my fault because it was last minute and nothing else was available. It was way too long on me. I am 5'5 this has to be for someone who's 5'8 and over.

The dress is absolutely gorgeous. The color is a bit more red than it appears in pictures. The quality was good of the fabric was great, though I did have some trouble with the zipper. Also, the boning was poking through on the inside. did have some trouble with the zipper. The only sizing issue I had was in the bust area. I ordered a size 0 and had to tape the dress to my chest. I was a 32A though. A bigger bust would likely have no problems. Overall, the dress had a few minor issues but was beautiful.

I was a little disappointed when I received the dress because it was wrinkled and I needed to pay the dry cleaner to steam it in order to get the wrinkles out. Also, the paint on the zipper on the back of the dress was chipping off, clearly from the dress having been worn multiple times. In addition, the zipper didn't really zip up smoothly (again, probably from much wear and tear) and I had to battle with it to get it going. The dress itself fit well and even though I'm smaller in the chest, I didn't have to worry about the dress sliding down. No bra needed. Also, there's a lot of material/ruching in the front that helps conceal a tummy so Spanx aren't a total must but I definitely wore them with the dress. I'm 5'9" and wore 3 1/2" heels and the tall size worked just fine. I did receive lots of compliments on the dress and hardly anyone else at the black tie event that I attended was wearing the same color.

This dress was absolutely beautiful! The size was perfect and the length was just right with at least 2-inch heels. The only complaint I have for this dress was that the boning of the specific size I wore was coming out a little bit and so I had to readjust every 10 minutes or else it was showing to the public. Otherwise, it was great!

Beautiful dress. My only complaint is that it was faded when I received it, as if it had been drycleaned too many times. Luckily it didn't look that way in photos. The color wasn't as rich as the photograph. Other than that it's true to size, I received it on time. A lot of the reviews say that it is a fire engine red dress which is why I ordered it but its really pink. You'll definitely see the difference when standing next to a "red" dress.

Get this dress! It's amazing. Looking at it on my computer screen, I was worried that it would be a heavy, cheap-looking fabric. Not at all! It's much more lightweight than it looks, and is super flattering (especially on a smaller bust, like mine). I wore it to a black tie event and got lots of compliments and was delighted with the pictures afterward!

This dres is really pretty. The color is darker than the picture not the "fire engine red" it's a dark pink/red.Photographs lighter. It fits well the top is a little "boxy" in the chest. I wear a 36C and the size ten, and it was still big in the chest. I suggest if you like the picture to get the dress because the shape will work for many body types.
