This dress is flawless!!

Size worn: 16

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

I absolutely loved this dress! I wore it to a Rent The Runway fashion show and got dozens of compliments. The dress is extremely comfortable and very flattering. I really love that it's so sparkly, but doesn't itch or feel heavy. It does run a tad big, but I opted to wear the larger size so that I wouldn't feel constricted. I would absolutely wear this dress again, and honestly, I really want to buy one!

The dress was perfect. I ordered a 10 and 12. The 10 was a little too short and was snug when zipped. The 12 fit perfectly all around. The dress was in fantastic condition, no snags, loose sequins, etc. Overall it was an awesome experience to rent.

LOVE!

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

The dress was amazing! I was almost 20 weeks pregnant with my second child when I wore this dress and it was very flattering. Doesn't show too much cleavage and a lot of room at the midsection. pre pregnancy I was a 10 but I wore a 12 and I would say it probably runs pretty true to size but maybe a little large. It's a little scratchy from the sequins but all around I loved it!

This dress fit like a glove and was very comfortable. I wore it to a black tie gala for work and it was the perfect mix of being conservative enough, while still feeing young and stylish.

Lighter than other sequined dresses I've worn. It's got a little stretch to it. Super comfy and i got lots of compliments on it. Just needed a little tape to make sure the straps don't fall down.

STUNNER!

Size worn: 16

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

THIS DRESS WAS STUNNING! I had a hard time choosing between two dresses and I ended up picking this one. I was so pleased with my choice. All night long I was getting compliments on how great my dress was! I'm still gettin compliments on just the picture alone!!!! I loved it. It was a bit big for me (Although no one could notice) I normally wear a 16 so that is what I ordered, but a 14 would have been perfect. I can't wait for NYE because I am think the 5th Ave Show Stopper is most certainly in the plan!

I love anything sequin-y so this was perfect. Wore it for a work event so it straddled an appropriate line of conservative but festive. Was very pleased that the sequins weren't irritating to the skin at all.

Pros: True to size Perfect length (it hit right above the knee) Sexy without being too revealing (at least, for smaller-chested ladies like myself) Cons: The zipper gets caught in the fabric, if you're not careful

Lots of compliments, as always with a RTR dress!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I rented the 10 and 12, but wore the 10 since it runs pretty big - especially in the front. I have a larger chest so it was fine to fill it out but you'd want to buy some Hollywood Tape if you are smaller chested to keep it in place. Overall super comfy, the material has stretch to it which is always great for dancing. It's pretty long compared to the model photo (I am short though) and would have preferred a shorter version. Lots of compliments as always with a RTR dress!

Fun dress for a fun night

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding, and it looked great. The size 10 was tight across my rib cage, and my husband struggled with the zipper over the part of the dress with multiple layers of fabric. Once the zipper was up, the dress felt great and I dance all night long! Only negative was that the sequins were spaced out on the fabric, which made it look a little cheaper. I probably would not have bought it for the full price, but it was great for the rental price.

beautiful but tighter than it looks

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

Awesome for the bustier among us. Not so awesome for the curvier. This dress fit perfectly everywhere except the back. Maybe I'm more bootylicious than I thought I was, but I'm a pretty solid size 8. This has some room in the front but the back doesn't have any darts and isn't super flattering. The fabric isn't very stretchy. The dress looked great while standing but I couldn't sit without fear of splitting the back of the dress open. This was my backup dress so I only got one side. I think the 10 would have fit. Customer service was super helpful but I wouldn't have been able to get it in time for my event.

First time rental for my Mom!

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented this for my Mom (65/16/full bust) as she wasn't comfortable renting for herself. Now this dress, you have to have the body to wear it. The skirt part pokes out when you have wide hips and makes you look bigger. Not very figure flattering & very matronly. My mother ended up wearing this to her event because she felt more comfortable in it. I didn't like it at all on her.

It was a nice dress I wish I could have worn

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress would have fit, but I am large chested and the zipper kept getting stuck at the bra band area. This happened on the dress when it was off, so there was no way it was zipping when it was on. I also would have had my boobs fully on display! I'm 5'3" and it hit just above the knees. Probably would have been comfortable if I could have zipped it.

This dress was perfect for the occasion. I love that I do not have to make room in my closet to store the dress. I have many formal events to attend and I find that having to store long formal gowns and semi formal dresses a bit challenging after awhile.

I wanted it to work, but unflattering on my body type.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented this for an awards ceremony. Sadly, I ended up not wearing it because the gathering at the waist and hips made me look bulkier than I already am. I usually wear a 14, and the size 14 I rented did fit me, it was just unflattering. And at a 14, there are reduced dress options, so unfortunately there weren't any dresses that could replace it available at RTR.

Didn't work for me.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I normally wear between a 12/14. I ordered the gold version of this dress in the 12 and this in the 14. I think the 12 fit better even though it was tight around the waist. There's so much extra fabric around the hips, it looked terrible on me. Almost like it should have pockets but doesn't. There was something happening with the liner it felt tighter than the 12. Almost like something was attatched that shouldn't have been. It's a pretty dress and looks great on people in the pictures. It just didn't fit my body type at all. I ended up returning them both without wearing them.

A little black dress with flare.

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I loved this dress! I ended up not wearing this one because I wanted to wear another one I rented, but I rented a 12 and 14 and tried on the 12 first. That was slightly big in the top, but fit nicely around my hips so I didn't try on the 14. A little double sided tape would have solved the the top problem. I'm always worried about dresses being too tight on my hips, but I didn't feel self conscious in this dress at all. I would definitely rent this dress again.

I wore this for a wedding in December, loved it! I have a large bust and trouble finding dresses, but this really fit great. I usually wear a 14 in dresses but this was sized a bit larger. It was very flattering and lined, great quality. I am 5'4" and it hit just above the knee.

I didn't wear the dress. It was pretty but I had issues with the zipper. I went with another dress

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

The dress looked good on but despite the fact that the 0 and 2 (although the two was just a bit too big) fit, I could NOT get the zipper on either dress to zip. It got stuck and I could not get it to move the last couple of inches. If I had someone to help me with the zipper I would have worn it. My recommendation is that you should have someone else on hand to help you zip it or you'll just get frustrated.

A very beautiful and comfortable dress.

Size worn: 16

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

Great to be able to wear a regular bra with this dress. Made it even more comfortable. If you have a tummy (and I do), it's very well-designed for you. A little pleating of the beautiful sequined fabric at the waist means your tummy isn't on show but you don't look pregnant. I think it looks short on the model but it was a very appropriate length for my formal business event.

I got this as a back up dress. I didn't wear it because the sequins weighed down the dress too much. I normally wear an 8 so I ordered an 8 and 10 as a back up. The 8 was too big and didn't flatter my figure like the model. I also have a large bust so the dress wasn't very tasteful. I would suggest going down a size or maybe even two if you have a small chest.

Size worn: 16

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wear a sz 14, but 16 in a stretchy dress because of my oversized DDD breasts, and I still had to pin up the front. Thank God for my mom who was able to sow them together in a discreet and un-noticible way. Otherwise fit great around butt and thighs, and had enough sequins and rouching to mask the dips and lumps (with the help of Spanx of course). Looked and felt sexy and sparkly!
