Classy dress for a work event

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented this dress for a work event in NYC. I thought it was perfect for the event. It came to about knee length which was perfect, and I loved the style. The material was beautiful and had a nice subtle shimmer to it. My only issue with it was that it was a little loose in the hips, but for someone with fuller hips this would fit nicely.

A perfect dress for a classy dinner birthday party for Kim D of RHONJ.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I ordered both a size 6 an 8 figuring one of the two would fit. I tried the 6 on first and had no problem zipping it up, however I noticed a ton of extra material in the stomach...I was so disappointed! I tried on the 8 and it actually fit tighter than the 6 which worked out for me since it fit! I felt very comfortable and super classy in my dress all night. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is not on the petite size however, since the smallest size is a 6. Once again, rent the runway came through!

Perfect!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

I wore this dress to a black tie masquerade ball. Because i don't feel as comfortable in long gowns, i wanted a short dress that was still appropriate for black tie. This dress was perfect!

This was my first time using RTR & it was perfect!!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ordered this dress for my boyfriend's formal dinner at West Point, and it could not have been a better or smoother process. The dress fit really well and was beautiful, and I got so many compliments..it was a nice, fun, classy twist on the standard black dress. Pretty much ran true to size, and since the smallest size was a size up from what I usually wear, it was a little loose in the waist, but nothing some tape couldn't fix. Overall an amazing dress!

Night at the ballet

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress to the ballet in DC. I'd never worn a one shoulder dress before and absolutely loved it! It was flirty and sophisticated at the same time. The length was perfect for the ballet. The details of the fabric were really pretty close up.

Fresh twist on the standard LBD

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

The tonal shadow brocade fabric was lovely: not too clingy, not too stiff. I loved the ruffled one-shoulder neckline with the black satin edging. I was getting compliments all night! My hips are a size 6, but my waist is a size 4- this dress worked amazingly in a 6 and I just cinched the waist with a wide, soft black leather belt. I will most definitely be renting this dress again.

Loved this dress! Classic for a black tie wedding. Perfect LBD.

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this to a beautiful winter black tie wedding. I felt very comfortable in the dress, loved the pattern of the fabric, that gave it a little more umph that just a plain LBD.

Beautiful comfortable dress, got lots of compliments, perfect for the holidays!

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I'm in between sizes so the 12 was a little too tight and the 14 a little too big, went for the bigger size to be comfortable. Material was heavier perfect for a winter holiday party! It was a little long on me since I'm 5'4" but still looked good.

Beautiful, sophisticated dress

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This was my backup dress for a friend's wedding, but I ended up wearing a different dress to the wedding. They didn't have a size 4 available for the date that I rented so I sized up which gave the dress a little bit of a loose fit, which was okay for me. Anyways, I didn't want this dress to go to waste so I decided to wear it to Sunday brunch with my best friend's family. Absolutely loved this dress!

The dress was a perfect combination of class and style! It made me feel confident and beautiful.

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

As a new mom I needed something that was forgiving in all the right areas. I rented a 10 and a 12, I wore the 12 it hid my baby belly and gave me enough room in the chest. I am only 5'2, but the length was perfect. It was long enough without drowning me.

Loved this dress for a black tie optional wedding. It was dressy enough but still fun.

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Material is thick so it gave enough structure. It also gave enough room that it wasn't too constricting.

Loved this dress! Perfect for a wedding.

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The dress is absolutely beautiful. From the cut at the top, to the ruffle, to the pattern. Now for the sizing - I rented the 10 and 12 as a back-up. I have a broad back, so the 10 fit perfectly except for some slight pulling around the back at the top (even though I was able to zip it fine). So I went with the 12, which was big, but I was less self-conscious about the back. Aside from the size bit, it was also a little long on me (although I am on the shorter side) and hit below my knee. Overall though, I was very happy with the dress!

Beautiful dress!

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress is so pretty! The print and shape of the dress are unique and so beautifully done. I wore this to a wedding and tons of compliments all night! The fit was okay, as I am significantly larger on the bottom, it was a little tight around my hips and sort of tugged. The top portion was a little large on my frame, also. There is a couple of pleats on either side of the waist, underneath the bust, which I didn't realize from the picture, which also could have been a reason why the bottom portion didn't look perfect on my body type. Overall, I did feel great in the dress and loved all the compliments!

Super Elegant Little Black Dress!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

This dress was really stunning. I loved the ruffle detail on the shoulder and the texture on the dress really added a unique touch to the dress. I wore the size 6, and it was a little bit loose; however, I would recommend sizing up in your backup because there is no stretch. This dress hit right above my knee.

All wrong.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I'm generally between a size 4 and a 6. I'm curvy, but I ordered this dress in just a 6 thinking that it would be perfect (since it said it ran small). This dress is wayyyy small, but also just an odd fit. The chest fit, the midection was huge, and the dress was tight around my hips. I didn't want to go up to the 8 because I knew it would fit my hips, but it would be too big everywhere else. Also, the fabric is not my fave-- looks kind of cheap and gawdy.

Actually ordered this as the back up dress, but it was soo beautiful. For another event, I would rent it in a moment. Flattering fit, definitely not too forgiving in the middle, but amazing overall fit and elegance.

Liked the dress but did not think it was what I wanted for this black tie event.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Fit true to size but I did not feel it was formal enough. Wanted a long dress & the two Vera Wangs that were sent in the same order did not fit. I found a long dress at the Neiman Marcus Outlet that was better for me.
