Fabulous dress, plethora of compliments, felt like a million bucks!
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was great for a beach wedding in October. Almost everyone I encountered commented on how beautiful it was. A complete stranger approached me at the reception and asked me how it felt to be the most gorgeous woman in the room. (I am assuming the dress had something to do with it, along with the fact that the man was well intoxicated!) Nevertheless, the dress is a stunner. I give it 4 stars because both of the dresses I received (34R and 36R) had imperfections in the delicate fabric, obviously caused by previous wearings. Luckily, the print camouflaged these imperfections well enough that I could live with it. I could have worn either size, but prefered the fit in the back on the 36R, as well as the fabric print. The dress was very comfortable and easily worn throughout the night.

Lovely dress
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was very lovely and fit perfectly... I would suggest this dress for a fall or winter event only because it was a lot of heavier than I thought it would be. Otherwise I loved the dress and the ability to have different sizes to try was a great plus.

This was the most beautiful dress I have ever worn! I didn't want to send it back!
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The fit was true to size for me, I ordered a 2 for a backup but opted to wear the 4. I could have worn the 2 as well though. It is very flattering and I imagine it would be great on many body types. The only thing I suggest is if you have anything larger going on up top (which I do not) to use fashion tape. I imagine that fuller busted ladies would need that. I had no problem though. Also, the length for me was just long enough to wear heels. If you are much taller than 5'5'', you might want to get the longer size. Definitely rent it! It is really beautiful, classy, and flattering!

The RTR stylists were really helpful when I realized the R length would be too short for me and I would need an L instead. Loved the delivery box too!

Rented for: Wedding
I loved the dress and the unique look - it def stood a part from the other dresses from the black tie wedding I attended plus it photographs well. The only reason for 4 stars was the strap kept falling and I had a hard time securing fashion tape in the chest to make sure there wasn't any wardrobe malfunctions. But overall other than having to fuss with the dress a little, I felt gorgeous in it!

I don't have any good pictures of the dress from wearing it out but, I was sure to get some the next day so I could post a picture of the fit!

This dress fit me perfectly! Definitely size up if you are bustier. This dress is great to be dressed up or worn casual! I wore it with sandals but if I wore heels I would definitely need the longer length! Gorgeous print, love the twisted straps and flowing fabric in the back!

This was a stunning dress for a formal summer wedding. I ordered the long becasue I am very tall, but it fit like a glove and seemed as it was made JUST for me!

I'm so disappointed that I don't have a better picture. This photo doesn't even come close to capturing the beauty of the dress.

I have rented many dresses from RTR and this one takes the cake!!. I rented it for a 4th of July party and the colors were perfect. The dress flowed beautifully with the beach breeze and was so elegant. It's a total knock-out, no one else will even come close to you

The service is really amazing.
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress is gorgeous. The fabric is stunning and the cut is very flattering for those of us with more junk in the trunk. But I'm a busty girl, 34D, and I had to seriously wrangle my girls with a nu-bra and an enormous amount of double-sided "Hollywood Tape." I was paranoid I was going to fall out of my dress all night. Also, I have a really short torso (I always need to get straps shortened) and there was no way for me to do that with this dress, because the straps are braided and can't be changed. I ended up tucking them under and clipping them (didn't want to pin because the fabric is delicate silk) and I was messing with them all night. I am 5'3" and the dress length was perfect with 3" black heels.

My husband smiled every time he looked at me.
Size worn: 42R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore a 42R to my cousin's wedding -- so glad I did! I typically wear a size 10 shirt and size 12 pants. This dress drapes so nicely I recommend going with your shirt size -- your hips will give you gentle curves. I did have a little trouble with the straps; they were too long. I am 5'4'' so I had to clip the straps together in the back to bring the front up enough for decency. :-)

How amazing I felt in this dress.
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress is one of my favorites, mainly due to the fabric. But, since there is no zipper and they use elastic around the bust area, it is very forgiving. The maxi aspect is also very flattering to the figure.

Prom night 2012! I got so many compliments on the dress and how unique it was.
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. It came the day before my prom and I was worried about the fit, but it was absolutely perfect. The length and everything was great! I wear about a 34c for a bra size, and this dress seemed a little loose in the chest area, but besides that it was amazing! It looks exactly like in the picture, the coloring is no different in person.

Beautiful print and gorgeous cut.
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was so comfortable to dance and eat in. The braided straps and top portion were very sexy and classy. I had to use fashion tape to keep my chest covered. This won't work with a regular strapless bra because the strap will be exposed in the back.

I really loved this dress, but have size D boobs and felt the dress was too revealing for my event.
Size worn: None

Loved the pattern and the flow of this dress. Would have totally worn it to a small party with friends, but thought it was too busty and revealing (in bust area) for my more formal event.

Gorgeous dress!
Size worn: 36R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Great fit, I didn't even really need the fashion tape (but I used it anyway). Flowy and gorgeous. I should have gotten the long version because the R was too short for the heels I wanted to wear. I ended up wearing strappy 1 1/2 inch heels instead of the 4 inch heels I had planned to wear with this dress!

Dress fit but was damaged
Size worn: 42R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered the size 40 and 42. The 42 fit but it was noticeably damaged and dirty. There was a stain on the interior left breast and the bottom was torn. Although it appeared as though a repair to the torn dress was attempted, the damage was so obvious that it could not be worn. I wore one of my own dresses instead and thankfully, Rent the Runway refunded my rental charge in full.
