Initially I thought this dress ran small. I am between sizes, but in dresses I usually wear an extra small instead of a small. I couldn't even get the extra small of this dress on, so I opted for the small which looked great at first. After about an hour of wear the dress started to get much looser, especially in the top. I had to constantly adjust to make sure my bra wasn't showing! I felt like it also ended up looking less flattering as the night went on because the fit wasn't as good.

I got the feeling that the dress had been worn too many times before I rented it and had lost some elasticity which was disappointing. Overall I would not recommend this dress, it was my least favorite rental so far.

Make sure to get the body tape as the front can fall a little.

I rented this for a Girls Night Out and I had so much fun in it! I rented the Medium and Large, and the Medium was definitely my best bet. I'm a 6 (sometimes 4), and it fit like a glove. I had to fashion tape the top part up so my bra wouldn't keep showing, but this wasn't a problem (and honestly, my top half is a size four, so this kind of thing happens to me a lot- especially in one shoulder dresses). The color really stood out and I was totally comfortable for a night of dinner and dancing!

I didn't end up wearing this dress (ordered as backup), but i definitely would have if the first didn't work out. It was flattering with the ruching in the front and the color was very bright in a good way - perfect summer dress. It was very tight fitting. I wasn't even able to get the small on, and even the medium was very tight. Once it was on, it was extremely comfortable and fit great, but it doesn't have any zippers or give to it, so it is just getting it on in the first place. I liked it, but ultimately chose not to wear it. 

This was one of many many many dresses my daughter and I rented for her bachelorette weekend in las Vegas (a nice bridesmaid gift for her friends- dress rentals all weekend!). Her friend Adriene wore this one out to lunch when they realized they had more dresses than nights left in town. She is a size 2/4 with an Athletic build and is 5'7" she really loved the color of this one, and now my daughter is actually going to rent it for her next girls' trip!

I also wore the AV Max dome bangle from RTR - http://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/bracelets_jewelry/golddomebangle and my own Laren Merkin bag similar to ones you can rent from RTR.  

I rented this as my back-up dress.  My husband loved it and said I should wear it as well on our trip to S. Beach. The fit was a bit big (I should have ordered the small in retrospect but was afraid that a small would be too small from the reviews).  
Because of the gathering it wasn't very noticeable at the beginning of the night.  There was just a bit of a gap on my right breast under my arm.  Not very noticeable at all.
By the end of the night with the moisture and heat of S. Beach the dress was hanging on me like a sack.  And almost completely exposing my right breast.
Still looked amazing on and perfect for a nice night out in S. Beach.

I rented the S & M for a bachelorette party in Miami.  The S felt too small at first so I put the medium on but after about 5 minutes the medium felt to big so I went back to the small.  It was perfect!  Nice and short to show off the legs but never felt like I was going to flash anyone.  Wore a normal strapless bra.  Super comfortable to dance in.

I am a size 6 and wore the medium with no problems at all. I wore a fitted nude slip underneath because the back is a little showy for undergarments. Very comfortable to sit in and was a perfect New Year's Eve party dress. Wore nude pumps & the Kate Spade necklace for a statement piece. SO many compliments, even from the Emcee of the show!

I loved the color and fit of this dress, and the shape hugged all the right places. I deducted one star because, while I expected the dress to be tight, it was VERY difficult to get on. There's no zipper, so I had to pull it on over my head. Also, the lining and outside of the dress were the same material and only sewn together on the outer seams, so I kept getting caught in it and the fabric shifted (not sure how well I explained that, but let's just say my boyfriend had to help me get in and out of it).

I rented this dress for my law school graduation party that I put on with 6 other law school friends. It was a semi-formal party and the dress was definitely a stand-out. It really is a bright orange though so if you are afraid of color steer clear...I  however am not! The fit was tight, but flattering because it is gathered a little at the side and in the middle and the fabric is thick enough to hide any flaws. 

This dress fits wonderfully. It's kind of a pain to get on because there isn't a zipper, so wait to put your deodorant on until after you get dressed. It hits in all the right places and is good for us shorties! Next time I need a sassy dress I'm planning on renting it again!

I love your hat! Where did you get it from?

I shopped and shopped for the perfect dress for the hat I had designed for the Kentucky Derby.  One look at RTR and there it was.  I don't even know how many media waivers I signed that day from photographers asking to take and print my picture.  :)

I usually vary between a small and medium in dresses, and wore the medium, which was pretty tight in itself. Other reviews talk about the fact that the first layer of material not having any give to it, which is true despite the fact that it looks like it would. I wore a NuBra and Spanx with it, because it was tight enough it would have been difficult to fit other undergarments without them showing. I enjoyed wearing it, the color was fun and it was very flattering.

I rented this for a September wedding got a lot of compliments! Color was great. Only issue I had was that the xs was way too small and the small fit well but stretched out quite a bit by the end of the night. Otherwise great experience!

I loved this dress!  My friend and I rented for the first time to go to a wedding.  We got so many complements!! It was so easy to rent and return as well. A definite recommendation.****

I wore this for a club night out in Vegas. It is very comfortable, fit well, and flattering. I loved the color - I have dark hair and olive skin, and I really liked how that combo looked. I loved it!

This dress is definitely as form-fitting as the picture, but it has NO stretch. Luckily my extra size was a size up and that one worked perfectly. Gave me great curves and looked awesome onstage! The color is amazing and I wore a similar green bib necklace to the styling in the picture. Great dress overall!

Absolutely fantastic dress, and really comfortable.  It was a tight fit though, barely squeezed into the small, but once it was on, it was great.  

I rented this dress as a backup for a night out in Las Vegas and ended up loving it more then the dress I originally ordered.  The dress fit perfectly and was very comfortable. You definitely stand out wearing this dress.  

Loved this dress! It was the absolute perfect fit. Great length and could be made shorter by synching it up in the stomach. I wore spanx with this dress, but it definitely is not necessary, since the fabric in the stomach area hides everything! I would not only rent this dress again, but I would also recommend it to anyone interested!

This dress was such a fun pick for my friend's birthday party. The color will no doubt make you a standout and the cinching of the dress is very flattering. The only reason I give this dress 4 stars is the material is pretty stretchy and by the end of the night the dress was huge and would barely stay up. The night started as a perfect fit, but by the end the length was significantly longer and not as tight. Definitely size down as a backup!

I absolutely loved this dress! It was the perfect color for a summer wedding. I ended up wearing the smaller size, the larger one was too big on the bust. I definitely suggest wearing petals vs. strapless bra. Wearing a blue necklace was the perfect compliment to this summery orange dress.

Looked great and felt great in this dress.  Has rushing and a little give so it fits well.  Wore to a more casual wedding with a fun bold necklace and received many compliments! (didn't get a full length picture to add to review but you can see top shoulder with necklace in this pic.. necklace is from Ella Nora)

I LOVE this dress!  I got tons of compliments!  The only problem is that it is very tight around the waist...I wore seamless panties, but I wish I would have worn spanx.  This dress isn't very forgiving.  However, I still felt amazing in it!  I didn't want to take it off!

I had my heart set on orange dress for the wedding I was going to attend. This was the perfect color. The picture makes the dress look cheaper than it really is. It worked out very nicely. I'm usually a small or xs and small was good.

This dress is definitely a body con dress. The fabric is slightly stretchy and cool to the touch. I loved the color... more tangerine than orange. One side seam has front panel  gathering and shifts forward. I found this a flattering detail. I have a bigger bust and felt it had great coverage, but It would work for smaller cups as well. This dress would look amazing on someone with darker olive complexion.
