I felt beautiful and perfectly dressed for the occasion.
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress fit beautifully. I am typically a dress size 8 - it fit true to size and I didn't feel like I had to pull the bodice up all night. It was quite long, even with 3-4 inch heels, but nothing a little double-stick tape couldn't fix. The fabric is lighter and more flowy than I expected from the photo, but that was a good thing! Comfortable and elegant gown.

Wore this dress to a formal event and I definitely stood out amongst all the black dresses! This dress was a little long even with 3 inch heels but nothing I couldn't manage. I like that it wasn't too tight at the top and the twist in the front hides anything that might need hiding. I felt pretty and would rent this one again!

Great choice! Great fit, just enough detail to make it exciting, and great color!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. Great price, for an elegant number that wasn't too much. I wanted a simple, yet elegant look. I am an instructor at a small college and I went to the "senior ball." I knew the female students would be "very glitzy" and rightfully so. I wanted to look pretty, elegant, and fresh without competing with the students. This dress was perfect. The color and simple detailing added a flare that got me noticed without looking to young or like I was "trying too hard." I highly recommend this number for an "easy elegant look." I ordered the 8R and it was a great fit. Not too tight and not too loose. I am between a B and a C cup, and the bust could have been a little tighter to make me feel more comfortable. I would have been interested to see if the 6 would have been a better fit. I wore some two sided tape, and the bust stayed in place pretty well. I only tugged on the dress once or twice, and I think I did that more because I was self-concious and not because it was actually slipping.

Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size

I wore this dress to a friend's prom, and I LOVED it. The 8R was absolutely perfect! The 10R actually fit pretty well too, but the bust was a lot bigger on it. The length with my 4 inch heels was good, though I did step on the hem a few times. The color is so beautiful in person, and the jewels on the side are gorgeous. I paired it with the Bling It On Necklace from Cara Accessories and everyone commented on how well the two went together. The fabric was a lot lighter and more flowy than I expected. Very good for a hot dance floor. I would recommend this dress to anyone!

Glamorous dress for a formal ball!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was awesome for a formal night out. It fit well all around. The only negative was the excessive length! I am somewhere between 5'3" and 5'4", and with 4-inch heels the dress was still all over the ground. I literally had to hold it up whenever I walked anywhere - it's a good thing I don't dance! The color is a really beautiful royal blue and the rhinestone embellishments on the sides gave it that extra excitement. I wore it with a rented Badgley Mischka necklace that really made the ensemble complete. Definitely recommended!

A lovely color, cut, and cost!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I have to admit, I'm a bit frugal. That being said, renttherunway was an amazing idea for me. I hate having to spend tons of money buying a dress that I'll wear for one night. Even so, I was a bit nervous renting a dress -- doubts that it wouldn't fit or I would be disappointed kept crossing my mind. When I first got the dress and tried it on I was so relieved. It was true to size for the most part. My only complaint is that it was a little long on me even with 2" heels, but that's honestly not a surprise since I'm so short. The color was gorgeous (although a bit darker than portrayed) as well as the beading on the sides and the style. I loved this dress, and while I almost wished I could keep it for memory's sake, I'm excited to see it worn by different girls as they have some of the best times of their lives wearing it :)

The dress was gorgeous! I attended my fiances USAF awards banquet, and needed a formal dress. This was perfect. It was classy and formal without being too fancy, just right for the occasion. My fiance complimented me on how good I looked! Plus it was comfortable, it wasn't too tight and the material was so nice. I'm 5"6 and I wore 4 in heels and the hem was about 1.5 inches from the floor so I didn't step on the dress at all. I really didn't want to send this back!

Great fit. Little long. So high heels a must. The first dress that came the beads were falling off. Stylist overnighted a new one. I ordered the 8 and 6. Went with the 6. Must nicer fit and did not spend the night pulling up my top. Lots of wonderful comments. Color more beautiful in person

Mardi Gras perfection in my backup dress!
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was my backup (decided against the Nicole Miller Exquisite Eliza gown - washed me out and was uncomfortable), and the color made me love it before I put it on. The material is silky and lush without being too shiny, and the flow is lovely. It was a bit too long, which I remedied with double-sided tape, and I slapped some up top because I'm fairly small-chested. The fit was great, and I'm so glad I went with it! The jewel detail on the side is beautiful, and I got lots of compliments!

I wore this dress to my university's founders day ball at the library of congress - it was a formal event. I got so many compliments on the dress. Even though I was working the event, I still wanted to blend in and this was sophisticated and fun and not too much but not too little. it was just perfect and the detail on the sides was typically what everyone noticed first but everyone agrees it was the perfect amount of detail!

The dress fit fabulously! It was perfect for a girl with a bigger bust like me (36D). I could have worn the 8, but it was a little too snug up top. I got a ton of compliments on it... But I think the biggest compliment was the lady (who paid to attend the event... I volunteered) wore the SAME gown!! We even took a picture together. I definitely recommend this dress.

I rented this dress for prom because I didn't want a tacky "prom-tastic" dress. I am so glad I found out about RTR because I was able to get a beautiful, classy, designer dress for so much less! the color was great, especially in photos. The embellishment on the side added a little sparkle to make the dress that much more amazing. The fit was a little big, I ended up wearing my back up size of a 2 because it was large in the chest area, but the 2 fit like a glove. I loved the dress, would definitely recommend!

I ordered the 4R and 6R and honestly was not sure i would fit into either, so i was ecstatic when the 4 zipped up. it fit perfectly, and was perfect for prom. i am 5'4'' and i wore 2 inch heels and the dress was the perfect length. the way the waist was pulled in made me look much thinner than i actually am!

This dress was absolutely beautiful! It's more of a royal blue color instead of a light blue like it appears in the model picture. Don't worry tall people, I'm 5'11 and this dress was the perfect length even though the description says it's good for heights 5'6-5'8. I definitely got LOADS of compliments from my peers. I didn't want to return this dress :( I definitely recommend it to everyone! Only con I have is that it is first tight when I first put it on but as my night went on, it suddenly became loose. I wore the size 10 because of my full bust....

Beautiful dress, but some flaws.
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a beautiful dress--the color is very pretty. However, I am a bit disappointed with the condition of the two dresses I received. The dress was a little short. The hem on both dresses looked uneven and I wonder if they had been cut off and rehemed due to damage. A tear on the hem of the alternate size dress had been repaired. Also, the fabric is silk (which is very pretty) but the dresses looked puckered all over and not pressed smoothly.

Beautiful dress though it does run small...
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore it to a gala event and received many compliments. I was worried that someone else may have worn the same dress since renttherunway is so popular..BUT I was the only gal that wore a long length dress~ The color is a beautiful blue and the length was perfect when I paired it with 3 inch heels (I'm 5'6'') The biggest complaint is that it's not exactly "true to size." If you are wider on top (ie big ribcage) the dress may not fit because the bodice has NO give on top. So even if you have a smaller cup size...if your width is 38 or larger (in circumference) then you should definitely go at least a size up. Otherwise, it will be quite a struggle to get into your real size. OR you can try to lose a bit of weight...since I'm an hourglass kind of figure..I had to squeeze into the 8R and luckily, it fit because the 10R had already been taken. Would I recommend this dress? Yes! But would I ever order it again? Probably not. Since it was such a struggle to get into

Since this was not a body fit dress, the fit of the dress was not an issue at all- and the second size for free is a blessing! In case you happen to be on the cusp - unsure which size fits, you can always order a second size! I love that part of the service.

I ordered this dress as a back up and was very dissapointed with it. The fabric looks really cheap. The bead work looks really pretty but is covered by your arms most of the time. It was also wrinkled when I got it. I am 5'11, however, and it was long enough.

Pros -so comfortable -very flattering -the color is the same in real life as the internet picture Cons -big in the bust (I'm pretty small) but i used hollywood fashion tape all around and it held up okay. still, if youre my size, i would recommend a dress with a smaller fit -really long. I'm only 5 foot 5 and I wore 3 inch heels and it still dragged on the floor

This dress was gorgeous, the picture doesn't do the color justice. I wore this gown to a formal January wedding and got lots of compliments. The embellishments add just a touch of sparkle. I am 5'6" and wore some pretty high heels, probably 4", and the length wasn't a problem. The only issue for me is that I am not very busty and the dress kept falling down on top. I'd recommend a good bra and maybe some tape to keep it up if you're lacking up top like me ;o)
