Beautiful Dress!!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was lovely! The only complaint I have about the dress is that the bust area is really big! (And I have a bigger than average chest). I had to use fabric tape to keep the top part from exposing myself.

Nothing really.
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
The top is very very large. It was so big that fashion tape couldn't even keep it up. I had to make shift tie it in the back with a sash that I just happened to have that was the same color. I definitely could have worn the 2L in it, but then- the top was so large that I'm not even sure that the 2 would have fit properly. It's a gorgeous dress, but you need a large bust for it to fit properly. The dress pictured on the model is not how it is going to look on you.

Gorgeous color and great fit! Made me feel glamorous!
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress fit great, it ran a little large on top. Make sure to have plenty of double stick tape for the bust. It's a low cut, but with enough tape to make sure nothing slipped out place it's incredibly flattering. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Too big in the bust, too small around the ribs.
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore the dress to the opera and my husband kept telling me beautiful I looked, but I was uncomfortable. My bust is large (dd cups), but I couldn't fill the top out if my life depended on it. I needed two cutlets for each breast and a push up bra to begin to fill in the cups. Oddly, the dress fit too tight through the rib cage. The slit gives the dress beautiful movement when you walk, but wear panties or sitting could become a peep show.

Pretty but not long enough
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress as a back-up dress and did not end up wearing it to my event. Mainly because since I am almost 5'8" the 6R was too short when I put my heels on. However, it was very pretty on. I would have had to have used some serious fashion tape for the top of the dress but the color was amazing. My favorite thing about the dress was the slit as you walked! Stunning!

So, this dress was a disaster for me. The color was gorgeous but it was gigantic in the boobs. I couldn't fill it up if I tried and it was VERY low cut.

Gorgeous color, but didn't fit.
Size worn: 14L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
Picked this as my back up dress for a formal wedding. Ending up being too tight on the hips, causing the slit to start very high, and I was unable to sit down comfortably it in. It did however fit my bust - and RTR includes fashion tape so you can adjust the bust slit as needed. Gorgeous dress though - wish it worked!

I own a dress from this designer and usually they run small. That 's the reson I order a 10 and 12. I wore the 10 but could've taken an 8. The top runs really large, and I'm a 34D

I ordered this as my first pick but since I had a back procedure that left me in bed and in pain I could not attend the function. I did have my sweet husband help me try it on and it looked great. I think I will rent it for an event real soon.

Overall fit: True to Size

This was my first time using Rent the Runway and I love it, will definitely do it again. So easy. Dress fit like a dream, it was a bit long, I wore 3 inch heels and did ok, no tripping. You def. need the fashion tape. I thought I'd be falling out of it, but it drapes perfectly and wasn't wrinkle. Just a flattering gorgeous dress.

The dress was a bit long for my legs @ 5'4", but the short front made it a bit easier to walk. The cut was slightly too big for my frame, and the middle could have used a little something. I'd recommend getting a smaller size

Gaping at the neck line and tight around the hips. Shame it is a beautiful color. Please note, it does not hang like you see in the picture. The dress is very straight.

The color of this dress is gorgeous-- exactly as in the picture-- and the fabric is divine. Unfortunately, it didn't zip-- despite wearing a different dress in the same size, also by Badgley Mischka. I wish it would have worked out.

Fun Sexy Dress
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a very fun dress that's a beautiful color The material was a little thinner and shinier than I had expected. It ran true to size however it didn't seem to fit right in the bust. I am very small in the bust and the way it fit was not flattering. I believe this would be a beautiful dress on someone that has more of a bust.

The bust part is a bit awkward. The top is not fitted so in certain photos, the lighting and shadows can do unflattering things to the top. I think this dress is better for bigger busted people. Overall, the dress was very pretty and comfortable.

Stunning gown
Size worn: 0L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress for a black tie wedding and so many guests commented on how gorgeous my dress was. The dress was a little bit in the chest area for me, large in the stomach area, and just a tiny bit tight in the thigh area. The slit doesn't actually show unless you purposely attempt to hold an "Angelina Jolie" like pose. The color an style of the dress make the person stand out from the crowd.

Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress has a great color, fits true to size, and flows nicely. Great for a wedding! However, I think that the one I wore might have been missing a stitch to keep the front together (the 8 had it but the 10 didn't), so I had to tape it. A liiiitle revealing with the low front and high slit when sitting, but that's not always bad!

Beautiful Color but Well Worn
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The color of this dress is incredible. You can see it in the uploaded photos- and I really wanted to wear it for the event I attended, however, I chose to wear my other rental option for 2 reasons. First, it was 102 degrees and I didn't want to sweat through the thinner unlined silk of the gown. Second, the fabric of the rental I received was obviously worn. The side seams rippled and it was going to need a lot of steaming to attempt to lay right. It's a gorgeous, MATURE dress, perfect for a cooler (less sweaty) day. I rented a 2L and it fit perfectly.

This dress was absolutely beautiful! I wore it to an awards show where my boyfriend ended up proposing to me. The only issue I had with the dress was the fit on top -- I had to use tape and safety pins to keep everything in place and not flash anyone. Loved it!

Perfect wedding dress.
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Wore this to a destination wedding in Mexico. The color was stunning and so was the material. If you have big ribs it may be a little snug as it was for me but it still fit. The only downside was you need incredibly strong double-stick tape to make sure your bra doesn't show or worse (if you decide to skip the bra). Since I was in Mexico and dancing the night away... the sweat was not helpful with my sub par double stick and I ended up changing later in the evening. All in all- gorgeous dress.

I was blown away by the picture of this dress but when it arrived I was less than enthused. While the color is lovely, the waist sits at an awkward place not giving it any definition. Additionally, that dramatic slit in the middle of the dress will only appear while walking very fast or if you are facing a wind machine, it is not at all structured. In the end, decided not to wear it.

Beautiful, but Not as Pictured
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress itself was a beautiful color, and fabric, but it does not look like it is pictured. It doesn't actually flow outward at all, it falls staight to the ground, and only opens a bit when you walk. The fabric is a lot thinner than I thought when you look at the picture. If you have a fuller chest, this will NOT be the most flattering. There are pleats in the bust of the dress, and it makes the girls look very wide. This dress IS a beautiful dress, but for someone thin and not too chesty.

This dress was a perfect way to end my senior year. I wore it for my college's Senior Formal and did not stop getting complements on it all night. Although the fit was perfect, I wish I ordered a 0R instead. I am 5'7 and I wore it with 3" heels and the 0L was still dragging on the floor a good amount. With a 32A bust, the low v-neck was not too sexy or revealing and when paired with a few strips of fashion tape, everything was perfect.

I rented this dress for a formal wedding. I had tried it on in the store and really liked it then a friend of mine told me about renting it on this site. I was thrilled because I couldn't see owning this dress as it was one of those things you really only wear once. When the dress arrived I found that it a bit dull from the cleaning process and the train was cut off. I wasn't pleased with it so I returned it. I still like the idea or rentals, this one just wasn't for me but the service was fast and well as the refund.

I rented this dress for my graduation banquet, and I received never-ending compliments! The deep V and the high slit in the front is sexy but not trashy. I usually wear size 2 on dresses, but this dress runs large. Wish I rented the size 0. But nobody could tell this dress was a little big on me - YAY! I'm 5'4" and this dress is too long for me (I had my 5 inch heels on too!)

Beautiful color!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved the color of this dress, especially with the silky shine. However, because it is silk, and therefore no stretch, there is no room for error on the fit. It fit well in the chest although of course needed double-sided tape otherwise it would gape when leaning forward ever so slightly. The waist and hips were loose but it still wore well because of the flowiness of the skirt. The shape looks AMAZING when you are walking around -- when standing it is just kind of meh. I wore it for a dinner/dance so I went with the 4R and 2.5" heels. Because the skirt moves so much I didn't have problems stepping on it. I wore it with chandelier earrings rather than necklace because I went with mystery bling and that's what was sent -- it still looked good as I am somewhat flat chested and had a pretty good tan going :)
