Perfect dress for an outdoor wedding!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I loved this dress!! It was perfect for my friend's outdoor wedding on Memorial Day. It fit perfectly and thankfully it was also very comfortable to wear. The temperature hit a high of 93* and I was cool and stylish. I was able to wear my own strapless bra (although if you have a smaller chest than me you may not even need one.) And who doesn't love a dress with POCKETS!! I paired my look with a simple pair of gold heels and gold jewelry (both of which I wore to another wedding earlier in the month) Great dress!! Of course I wished I could have kept it.

Got lots of compliments in a sea of long even gowns. Was flattering yet super comfortable!

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding. Per the invite "evening gowns were preferred" but this number worked just fine with some pretty earrings and a chic updo! The fabric seemed lighter/airier than I would have imagined. The fit was super comfortable due to the elastic portion in the back, althought the elastic in the back bunched a bit on me. It's a classy, pretty dress. Also, my RTR experience was awesome! I can't wait to rent for my next wedding next month!

Loved that this was relatively casual but more fun than your average sundress.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Loved the colors in this dress - pastels plus brighter shades. There are tons of accessory and shoe options. I wanted to dress down so I wore with a white shell-like necklace and flat sandals. The fabric was pretty casual - its cotton, though it appears silk in the pic. I think Catherine Malandrino runs small so I got the 4 & 6 but wore the 4. Someone with a larger chest would probably need to size up.

Pretty colors

Runs a little bit big on the top hem so it needed to be pulled up occasionally, but just sitting it looks nice.

I wore this dress to my college graduation under my gown. So cute, and comfortable. The wire poked out a bit but it didn't look so weird that I cared a lot about that.

A great dress, but runs large.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

This was my back up dress and I did not end up wearing it. It ran a bit large, but was very pretty and overall fairly flattering.

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding, and was a little worried about the neck line, but the dress was very flattering.

Beautiful dress

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Wore this for graduation and it was easy to make formal with accessories even though the dress is cotton. Colors were slightly more muted than the pictures but still beautiful. Some have noted that the slit can ride high but I didn't have that problem.

Nice fit, but stretched back

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

Overall, I loved the dress but unfortunately the back which is elastic was very stretched out and drooped. I called customer service and was very very impressed with their response and solution. As this was my first experience with Rent the Runway, the issue with the dress will not deter me from renting, again due to outstanding customer service.

Great dress but had tears

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore the dress to a recital dinner for a beach wedding. The dress was very comfortable and light, which was nice because the weather was humid. I got lots of compliments on the dress. Only downside was that there were slight tears along the seams at the sides.

This dress is very pretty but ran very large. I could have used 2 sizes smaller. I loved the material and thought the pattern was prettier in person than in the picture. Wish it fit!

Think it looks better online!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

First experience with RTR and unfortunately it was a bust :( The dress was way too big on me and it balloons a bit on the butt. I actually ordered 4&6 because I'm generally in between those sizes and have gained 5 lbs - I thought I'd end up with the larger size. The 4 was loose on the butt and on top because it stretched quite a bit which is great for bigger chested gals. I wasn't too impressed with the print - it looks way brighter online and the whitish area were more like a yellowy cream. Had to return and wear a back up

Great dress! I wore this to a friend's wedding and got lots of compliments. Due to my shape, it was tighter on the bottom than on top, but thanks to the tulip shape it wasn't too tight and was very flattering. Great for pear shapes. Would definitely rent it again!

runs a little large, especially loose around bottom- was expecting a tighter fit. bust is framed but fits strangely, like there's some extra space. dress has pockets, which is a nice detail, but weirdly the two front "flaps" of the dress can be pulled apart. pretty design, nonetheless! in retrospect, i should've ordered down for backup size and not up as i usually do.

I liked this dress and got many compliments on it. The shape of the dress was great for me because it's fitted at the natural waist. The strechy part in the back helped keep it comfortable so the 10 fit me the best.

I simply LOVE this dress! It hits just above the knee for me so it was perfect length of a garden wedding. The dress really stands out in the sea of black. I love that the back has a little give so you can breath and eat.

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding on Long Island in August, and I loved it. I am between two sizes and wore the smaller size, and the hem hit me just below mid-thigh. Thanks to the boning, there was enough structure where you could wear this without a bra. The design and fabric are also very forgiving if you happen to have a big dinner. It was very comfortable, great for dancing, and I received a lot of compliments. Enjoy!

Loved this dress! Wore it to a fancy bridal shower and got many compliments. It was my first rental and it gave me the confidence to rent again! I will warn that the piece across the front is a little dangerous when sitting...

This dress is gorgeous and photographs well. I wore it to a beach wedding. It was a little bit formal for the occasion, but the colors and fabric make it fun. There's boning on the inside, so I was able to go bra-less and still have a nice shape and it hid my reception food paunch. Also, the smocking on the back made the dress pretty forgiving. The slit up the middle felt a little racy at first, but it was really hard to show your goods and it was nice to have the length on the sides and back. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and wore the 4 in this dress (only got it in one size). I think a 6 would fit just as well because of the smocking.
