I am 6 feet tall so it's not a surprise when dresses run short on me so I went up a size just for length. In the actual dress, there was not too big of a difference between the two sizes which was nice. Everything else fit great and the dress was very complimenting. I suggest it to all!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I love love LOVED this dress and has an overall great experience from RTR. As a shorter woman with a larger chest, it is always a little difficult to hit the right balance of classy and sexy, but this dress was on the money. Fit was true to size, and I feel like the way the chiffon draped would be beautiful for several different body types. The only cons, and they were minor, was that the straps were a little long for me and the slip was a little on the sorter side of life. Also, I had to sew the hook on at the zipper because it was very loose when I received it. An easy fix to be sure, but something that I would have appreciated RTR fixing before sending the dress to me. I can't wait to order from RTR again and I have my eyes out on eBay to buy this one!

This dress was much shorter than I expected, as I am only 5 ft tall. It fit like a glove except for the shoulder straps. I have a pretty short torso so the straps kept sliding down and the chest support wasn't so great, but other than that it was very comfortable and flattering.

GREAT COLOR, GREAT FIT, LOVE THIS DRESS, NEW YEARS DRESS

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I LOVED this dress. It fit great, the color looked amazing in photos and i received lots of compliments on it. i ended up tucking in the sleeves a bit so they didnt hang down and i liked that look better than the hanging sleeves. I had ordered a 2 and a 4 just in case and RTR ended up selling my size 4 for the same dates. RTR gave me the choice of any other dress any price on the site! Im just so glad the 2 fit perfectly! Since i definitely have a butt i was worried the 2 might be too tight around my butt and thighs but it really did end up fitting just right. LOVE RTR. Thank you.

I actually had some trouble receiving my package. UPS dropped it off at another building in my apartment complex. I called RTR and they overnighed me another dress. I had it the next day by the time I was home from work. My first package was found, but really appreciated them sending a second, on them!

Absolutely loved this dress. It's a bit shorter than what it appears in the photo. Even though it's low cut, I was able to wear my deep-v strapless bra with it. I wore a size 4 and it fit like a glove. It was comfortable, and I got lots of compliments. Would definitely recommend renting, it's a 10!

Amazing dress that got a lot of compliments! The straps were a tad big on me and I'm not as chesty but double stick tape helped to keep it from moving. Other than that, I had no problems. It was comfortable and was a great length even though I'm short.

Numerous people said I looked stunning!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

This dress is stunning. I wore it to an evening wedding with gold accessories and gold shoes. I am typically a size 6 or 8 in dresses with a decent size bust. I was able to wear a bra with this dress, but used a lot of safety pins to make sure the bra straps didn't show, and a LOT of fashion tape to tone down the amount of cleavage. It is pretty short, and I didn't feel all that comfortable "getting down" on the dance floor b/c of this. It's a great dress, but I think it might be best for a smaller build with small chest. Maybe better for a girl's night out rather than a formal event? Overall, beautiful dress though.

Showstopper. This dress makes you feel amazing.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for a wedding over Memorial Weekend. It was perfect! I'm 5'2" and 110 pounds, so I ordered a size 0 and 2. The 0 fit, but because this dress is super short and low cut, I opted to wear the 2. Above all, this dress is amazing. I received multiple compliments and it certainly was a stunner. I highly recommend it, especially if you want to be a showstopper.

This was my first experience with RTR, and I think I'm hooked. The dress was a show-stopper - I got more compliments than I could count. The only issue was that it was a bit too small and I wish I got the second size up. Word to the wise, always take advantage of ordering that free second size. All in all, everyone loved it, I loved it. I'll DEFINITELY back for more! Check out my blog entry here: http://wearhausonline.tumblr.com/post/21239299268/rented-the-runway-for-my-birthday-rent-the

I got so many amazing compliments, and best of all, NO ONE HAD MY DRESS! I felt amazing all night long :). By far, the best I have ever looked.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress is by far the best thing I have ever worn. I was nervous about the fit after reading reviews since I have a good size chest and am curvier than some who had ordered it. But to my surprise, this covered all my insecure areas and highlighted the best parts of me. I only wish I had figured out a bra situation beforehand. You can for sure wear your own bra but I recommend sticky boobs so you wont have to worry about it showing. I styled this look with silver jewelry, and a bold purple peep toe heel.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I ordered a size 4 & 6. I'm usually a size 5 but the 4 fit more comfortable because of the bust area. I'm not too busty and didn't want to look 'saggy' so I bought some minimal inserts form Target and the dress fit like a glove all over! It was a bold move for me but the color sold me! I wore it to a wedding at the W Hotel in DC and went out after into the DC nightlife and didn't miss a beat! Loved it!

If you are slender and on the shorter side, this dress is a dream. Definitely the top pick of the 6 dresses I've rented from RTR!!! The underslip is quite short as previous reviewers have mentioned, but for me it was only a minor issue when I was seated. The chest is plunging- I would not recommend this dress for those over a B-cup, as bust coverage is rather scant. VERY appropriate for the gala Manhattan wedding I wore it to!!! If you are self conscious about your hips this may not be the dress for you, as the drapes do add some volume, but I thought it looked lovely. What a gorgeous dress, I highly recommend it for petites.

Beautiful dress. Great material, great fit, true to size and really comfortable. I would definitely rent this dress again. Although the picture shows that the dress is cut pretty low; you are able to wear a strapless bra with it. Rented it for a wedding and it was perfect. Can definitely wear it to many different types of occasions.

I wore this to prom. I am very tall so the dress was really short on me; I would have picked something else if I'd had enough time. It didn't have a lot of give, which was fine, but it did bunch/roll a little bit. I do think the dress is very pretty even though it didn't work out great for me.

Fiery, Seductive & Fun!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for a dressy cocktail party and absolutely loved it. But I think it is one of those dresses that does not fit everyone well. The dress is very short and the front's V is extremely wide, and low. I am 5'4" with 34B - I love a classy yet sexy amount of cleavage but I had to strategically place tape on my bra to make sure the dress didn't show "the girls". The dress is also super short in the bottom middle and when the drapery opens up, it does show. So if you're very tall it may verge on "too short"... and if you have a bigger chest then this will definitely show too much cleavage. But otherwise - I suggest it all the way! It's beautiful and so comfortable. I received compliments on it all night and had a great time wearing it!

I ordered this dress in a 4 and a 6 for my 25th birthday and both fit me, but the 4 ended up fitting me better. I have green eyes, so the color of the dress made them pop! The neckline is very low, so you have to go braless or wear a low cut strapless.

The way this dress drapes over your body is just amazing. The low cut worked perfectly for me because it brought out my small chest, the draping at the shoulders hides arm fat haha, it fits nicely at the waist and the draping at the hips creates a feminine figure. The material seemed kind of thin, but necessary for the soft look. And no, I didn't think it was too short.

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress so much! The one downside is that there really isn't any sort of bra you can wear with it. I used the adhesive pads but jiggling was a little bit of an issue... also I found that the shoulder straps were a little long and tended to slip and the underslip rode up a bit, but despite these things I would buy this dress in a second if I had that kind of money lying around!

Great Party Dress!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this to a wedding and received so many compliments, it is a little bit unique and a great color. I kind of ignored the other reviews saying how short the dress is, I am short so dresses that are short on others aren't usually all that short on me, but this dress was short!! It's not so bad when you are standing, but when you sit it could get dangerous for sure. I wore it with black tights, I'm glad I had tights or else I would have felt too naked for a wedding. If I had worn it to something other than a wedding, going out or to a cocktail party, I wouldn't have been as concerned w/it being as short as it was. Overall really comfy/easy to wear and I would def recommend it. I am usually a 2 or 4, I think more often a size 4, I ordered it in both sizes and wore the 2. Also I wore it w/a regular bra which was nice! I didn't need to use a strapless one.

This dress was a great choice for my new year's eve party. It's extremely short and has a very revealing neckline. However, draping throughout the dress makes it look more elegant than cheap/inappropriate. I received a lot of compliments not only from girls, but from a lot of guys too ;)
