Worked a red carpet in this great plum purple dress! Loved it overall.

Size worn: 0R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I am 5'4 115lbs and petite frame. Rented both 0R and 2R. 0R fit perfect on body. You will need help getting the neck part attached. Comfortable overall, but very long. The under part of the dress worked with 4 inch heels, but outer sheer fabric was much longer and made it a little hard to walk. I was hosting a red carpet for fortunately I did not have to move too much. Got tons of compliments! Beautiful dress! Plum purple is very pretty.

This was a perfect dress for my sorority's formal.

Size worn: 0R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

It fit great, but was quite long on me, even with the highest heels I could find (I'm 5'1"). Otherwise, it was comfortable, fit well, and great for a spring formal event. This was a wonderful first Rent the Runway experience!

Beautiful Dress!!!

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress to an American Cancer Society, black tie Gala for my husband's job. The dress was absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly. I am tall, and the 8L was the perfect length with a 3 inch gold heel. I received so many compliments on this dress. I felt like a princess. Thank you so much Rent the Runway!

Great service and dresses

Size worn: 0R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ordered this as my main dress for prom but ended up wearing my backup dress because it was more comfy and fit my date's outfit better. This dress was gorgeous and I was torn between wearing it, but it was kinda tight around the neck and I hate that feeling. Also slightly tight at the bottom.

Overall fit: True to Size

I rented this dress for a formal affair. The dress fit perfectly though a little long. I am 5'7 and had to wear 5 inch heals to keep the dress off the ground. It is a beautiful dress and I recieved so many compliments.

RTR was a great option and I'm glad I did it. I will definitely use this site again.

Size worn: 10L

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I took a size 10L in this. I chose not to wear it, as it was a bit poofy on the top and I didn't have the appropriate bras to fit with it, as you could see the back of the bras and it on the sides. Looked better on the model than it did on me.

backup dress; too big

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I went with the 6 for this backup dress but it turned out to be too loose in the waist. If you have an hourglass figure, size down. The 4 probably would have fit much nicer. I still probably would not have been able to wear it though because the R was too long for the shoes I planned for. I am not sure if they sent me the L by mistake but no matter -- RTR delivers same day in NYC so I got lucky and placed a new order in time for my event!
