This dress was great! It was incredibly comfortable and forgiving! I honestly felt like I was in pajamas! I wore it to the rehearsal dinner of my best friend's wedding. I received a ton of complements on the color! Which is very flattering on nearly all skin types. Considered purchasing it because it is so comfortable!

The PERFECT birthday dress!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress was everything that I wanted to be on my birthday: cute, sassy, and comfortable! It is jersey/cotton lined, so nothing sticking, poking, or itching you. I could've worn it all day, but my event was only about four hours. I would say it runs true to size, but you can definitely get away with at least one size down. Another plus - you can wear a regular bra! The only thing I would careful about is the length. If you are very hourglass/bottom heavy, this dress does rise to cover your assets, so no quick exists out of cars, or people behind you while you are going up steps, unless its your beaux ;-)

I loved this dress! The cotton lining made it very comfortable to wear all day and all night long, even under one of those terrible graduation robes! Short dresses usually make me nervous, since I have longer legs, but this dress wasn't too short for my taste.

Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
The back cut-out gaped a little bit on me, but otherwise it was good. The dress is difficult to zip up solo because it zips in two places - keep a roommate or a date handy! The only thing I didn't like about the dress was that it was so long in the waste and low-cut up top - this combination made it difficult to find a proper-length necklace to accent the outfit.

Loved this dress! Very different than what I expected after seeing the model, though. The hole in the back is much smaller than it looks-thus, not as sexy as I was hoping for. Also, the lining fabric is cotton, which made it SUPER comfortable, however, more casual. Overall, I loved it and I would rent it again!

This dress was perfect for my birthday dinner with my parents and party afterwards. I wore it with nude suede wedges that made it a little bit more dressed up. I loved the fact that you can wear a normal bra with it, but it still has the open lower back! It was perfect for my night! Thanks RTR!

It was cute and comfy!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I wore it to my friend's birthday celebration at a bar and it was a fun dress! The size 8 fit me perfectly. If you have no butt the back might be loose on you. The back is a little bit like a racerback also so a strapless bra might be better. I wore a regular bra and my straps stuck out a little bit.

The whole process was so easy! I loved that the dress just came in the mail, I wore it (and looked fab) and then put it back in the mailbox. This dress was so comfortable and fun. The little cut in the back had everyone talking about how sexy it was. I loved wearing this dress knowing I didn't need to buy it to enjoy it! I will definitely be renting again!

This dress is very cool and casual, with vibrant purple lace dressed down by the soft heather grey jersey lining. The open back was very flattering on my petite frame (short torso) with no visible bra straps, and transitioned beautifully from day to night. In fact, while taking a walk in Washington Square Park, I was asked to participate in this College Humor video, "The Confidence Challenge" http://youtu.be/PbHLqyTd7Cs (must have been glowing, wearing my first size zero dress)

absolutely loved this dress! The other dress I ordered was a disaster so the fact that this fit was a relief. The dress is super comfortable and was easy to dress up with heels and the right accessories. I'm usually a 2/small but the 0 fit perfectly so that is why I would say it runs large. I wish I could keep this one because of the great fit and comfort and the fact it could be worn dressy or casual!

Wow, the dress fit me like a glove and I didn't want to take it off! I heard the dress runs slightly big so I got the 0 and it fit perfectly! Vibrant color, quality lace, comfy lining, flattering fit...I was so happy with it! Since I'm only 5' 2", the dress wasn't as short as it is on the model (it was only a couple inches above my knees), but the cutout in the back totally made it still fun and flirty. I paired it with a sparkly necklace and metallic pewter strappy sandals to dress up the look. I wore it to a Vegas club and felt like I was one of the more "modestly dressed" girls, but the guys LOVED it! One guy even complimented on how I stylish I was! I guess you don't need to show a ton of skin to still get attention from men! Good to know that!

I rented this dress for Labor Day weekend, and I am absolutely in love with it. It's lined in grey jersey, so it's very comfy even though the top layer is lace. The cut was very flattering, and I loved the cutout in the back--it added a fun, unique twist. What I really loved about this is that it's casual enough to wear to brunch with a cute pair of sandals, but you could also dress it up with a pair of heels and some fun accessories to go out to dinner. And you can wear a normal bra with it!

Everytime I have rented through RTR has been an extremely positive experience. RTR is a very accommodating company, and I have felt amazing each time I wear an RTR dress. I dislike outfit repeating, so this is the best website for me!

I rented this dress for a friends birthday party. The theme was Fiesta with a semi formal attire. Since the party was in august, I wanted something that would look summery, but not be too hot/itchy/stuffy. The soft cotton lining in this dress made me forget that I was wearing lace and was very breathable against my skin. The only thing I had to play around with in this dress was the bra. I ended up choosing a bra with cross back straps because the straps of the dress hug close to the collarbone. I usually wear between a zero or 2, but the 2 fit better in this style. I have rented many dresses from RTR and I would recommend this dress to anybody!

I rented this as one of like 10 dresses for my wedding weekend (no joke). I just wanted to make sure that I had a dress for whatever the occasion was. I didnt end up wearing this dress, but one of my best friends did! It looked beautiful on her. I'm generally a 4-6 and I would say she's generally a 2-4. She wore the 4, but could have probably gone down to a 2. Either way, it's a great color (vibrant!), fit's well. Very very cute!

I loved this dress! It's the perfect dress for a wedding, party or a nice lunch with the girls! It can be as formal or informal as you wish depending on how you accessorize it. I loved the back of the dress too! This dress is more comfortable than some of my pajamas! I loved the fact you could wear a regular bra with this dress too! My three-year-old daughter was also in love with this dress, and insisted on trying it on as well. Thank you rent the runway!

I rented this dress for my 10-year high school reunion and it was beautiful! Absolutely amazing! I also rented the Shoshanna Floral Dixie Dress as my second choice for $25 and ended up wearing that one instead. I had a really hard time deciding because both dresses looked so amazing. The Cut 25 Neon Lace Party Dress is such a beautiful color especially on tan skin and dark hair. I loved the way it made my green eyes pop! This dress is also so comfortable! It’s like wearing pajamas! This would be a great dress to wear if you’re not sure how dressed up to be. You can wear fancy jewelry to make it look very formal, or flip flops for a more casual look. The lace was very high quality and the jersey material under is so soft. The size 2 fit me the best, although I’m usually a size 4, so I would say this dress runs large. The back was also very cute! Thank you rent the runway for having such great products!

I rented this for my best friends bachelorette party over Memorial Day weekend. It was thee perfect dress! It's the most comfortable dress and has a great cutout in the back that everyone commented on. The best part is that you can wear a normal bra and it won't show. It does stretch out a little after a bit. I wish I could have gotten one size smaller - it wasn't a huge problem though.

I am 5'4" and the dress hit mid thigh, def not as short as it is when the model is wearing it. I was worried it would be too short but it was perfect! Under the lace is a jersey material so it makes it have a more casual feel. I wore flats and kept it casual, although I'm sure you could dress it up with heels and fun jewelry. The cut out in the back is in the perfect spot, I could still wear a normal bra! I probably could have gotten away with ordering a size smaller, it was a little loose in the waist. I would be careful if you have curves/hips. The way the material is pleated adds volume around the hip and butt.

Pretty and comfortable
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
This style can be a "casual cocktail" dress or a "Sunday brunch" dress... depending on how it's accessorized. I wore it all day into the night on a all day date with my boyfriend. The lining is a gray heather knit jersey that rolls over slightly around the neckline making it seem more casual and easy to wear in the daytime. I thought it was a nice contrast to the royal blue lace with its unconventional fabric mixing. It has stretch so it can accommodate different bust sizes. I rented the size 2 and it was perfect... however; I am 5'11" so it may be considered slightly bigger for shorter/petite girl since it has some give, but i loved how comfortable it was and I loved the back cutout with metal zipper detail. Jut FYI- in my pic the skirt zipper is zipped, but the top panel is not zipped up so it looks a bit loose around my bust, but it is fitted when zipped closed.

This dress is so comfortable and fits perfectly with a racer-back bra. I usually wear a size 4 or a 6, and I went with the 4 on this one and would have preferred to try on a 2 because it was pretty loose. I wore it to a bridal shower with wedges and a blazer and it was a huge hit. The cut out in the back was a great little touch - received a ton of compliments on it!

This dress was adorable. I loved the open back and the 2 zippers gave it an edgy feel. The fabric is a little more casual than how it appears in the photo, but it still dresses up for a fancier occasion. I wore a fancy pair of earrings and felt great for a night out in Vegas. II loved that I could wear a normal bra with this dress, which often isn't the case with dresses that have cutouts/openings in the back. LOVED the dress.

Not for a heavier girl!
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was pretty and simple, but unfortunately I was not able to wear it. It fit excellently because it runs very large, I normally wear a 14 and this was a 12. The only problem I had with it was since it has an open back it is was not flattering unless you have a perfectly smooth back. (no chunkyness) That can be a problem with a heavier girl like me.

I agree with other reviewers...cute dress, but definitely more casual than the photo looks. It was short on me, so I wore it with tights and boots. It does stretch out with wear, so I recommend ordering down a size (at least for your back up). Otherwise, very cute and great for a date :)
