This dress was great for a formal dinner dance! The dress ran large though, so definitely get two sizes when ordering. The dress was very flattering and fun.

Wore this dress for my prom. I absolutely loved it!
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
It was so comfortable and so pretty. I loved the jewels they really added to the dress. Also it was not a typical prom dress, which I loved because then I didn't look like all the other girls. I got so many compliments on it too. It did run a little large, I normally wear a 2 but i wore the 0 (thank god Rent The Runway sends two sizes!). I'm about 5'2" and wore about 4 inch heels and the dress was the perfect length. I was so worried it would be too long but it wasn't! So good choice if you're short like me. It was also nice I could wear a normal bra and didn't have to buy any uncomfortable sticky boobs or whatever.

The Glass Slipper of Dresses!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was absolutely perfect for my occasion and would be for so many others! Not only was it gorgeous on, it was obviously well made and above all, comfortable!! I felt completely relaxed, it was like wearing a sundress. I could see this being dressed glamorously or dressed a little bit down for a formal wedding where you don't want to upstage the bride. I added a little sash to the middle to give it some ooph, and it lends itself well to that or a belt. I received non stop compliments. Rent this dress ladies, you will love it!!!

This dress made me feel classy and glamorous. I enjoyed my night in it!
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I loved this dress right when I saw it on the web site. I was so excited when I got it! Got many compliments on it and love how my whole look came together! I thought it ran big, but I am petite. I wore 4" heels and it was a tad long, but not sloppy at all, nor did it get in the way of dancing the whole night. The top hung too low on me bc I have no boobs, so I added a statement necklace to make the top work. Dress was comfy and forgiving overall.

Looking and feeling like a Hollywood Icon
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress fit great, I got a size 2R and 4R. My only problems were, the dress was short (and I'm 5'5 and wore flats!) it didn't touch the ground. And the gems were falling off and some were missing. Up close the dress didn't look very good in my opinion, but from a distance and in pictures it looked great! I fell in love with the dress online, and got so many compliments at prom on it.

The perfect dress.

Overall fit: Large

Ladies--do yourselves a favor and rent this dress. I wore this for my engagement photos in Central Park and it is stunning. The color is a perfect light blush, and the touch of sparkle all over the dress makes it a winner. My fiance LOVED this dress. The dress drapes nicely in the chest area, and the dress altogether is pretty forgiving if that's a concern. I wore the 2L--I am 5'10" and was wearing 5 inch heels and it was still long enough!

great fit & unique, classic look
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress for the Grammys and absolutely loved it! It fit great and was comfortable, and I didn't see anyone wearing the same dress or even one very similar. I did wear spanx since the elastic band cuts right above your stomach, but it could easily be worn without. I didn't use any fashion tape for the top, but some bras may need it to keep from showing with the way it drapes. I am 5'7 and wore 3-4 inch heels and the 2L was perfect. Wore emerald colored drop earrings with it. Loved the dress!

Amazing dress for an engagement shoot!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress for our engagement photos and bridal shots. I ordered the 4R and 2R, both fit but I went with the 4R. I usually wear a long, but got the regular size as reviews said this ran too long. The R length was perfect with flats (I am 5'9"). But if you are planning on heels, then I recommend the long length. Looks amazing with a belt. Very happy with the way the pics turned out!!

Absolutely great dress for an unforgettable New Years Eve Wedding!!
Size worn: 0L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
After a minor set back with the original dress I ordered....this dress was placed onto my order as a replacement. I was in the house party for a New Years Eve wedding and the bride very specifically asked for all of her house party to be in tan/nude colored dresses. After reading other reviews I saw that this dress runs a bit large so I went with a 0L (long for my height because I had to wear 4 inch heels). The dress was almost too long as I still had to hold it up walking sometimes and there was a lot of fabric below the waistband....BUT I received so many compliments and everyone loved it!! So in the end it was great and very glad it all worked out!

Perfect Late Summer Formal Gown
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I felt like the dress fit, but I felt my bust was too big for this dress. I had to keep lifting the front so my bra didn't show. I did wear a belt like the model because it looked cheesy without one. The dress was a little long even with some high shoes. It was OK because I just lifted it a little while walking. Overall, it was a pretty dress and I felt fancy enough for the formal event.

Renting this dress turned a great night into the PERFECT night!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress! I originally rented it as my backup, but when my first choice (Carlos Miele- Caribbean Coral Escape Gown) wasn't the look I was going for a non-profit event- check out arvf.org-I decided on this one...and I'm so glad I did! It was comfortable, flattering, and made my night awesome. I'm tall, but I wore 3 inch nude heels, and the 4R still grazed the floor at the perfect length. I wore spanx, but they weren't a necessity, and I used some fashion tape on the chest just to be safe. The color was exactly what I expected, and it was just a really beautiful dress. Strangers gave me compliments, I was told I looked like a goddess, and I felt great which was the best part! RTR made it so easy to have no worries about what I was going to wear or how I was going to look and feel! The perfect dress for a formal event.

The dress was beautiful and fit beautifully, but it had a stain on the front. The dress was a back up and the first choice worked. The dress was ordered for my daughter for her junior prom. She is 5'-6" and about 135 lbs. The size 4 fit perfectly.

Easy, comfortable and unique!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered this dress as my backup style. I wasn't thinking that I'd wear it, only that it was totally different from my usual style and fun. I ended up loving it! This dress was super comfortable, easy to wear all night and didn't require any sort of "special undergarments" - bonus! I got lots of compliments on how unique it was. Note, you really do need a TAN with this dress. I'm naturally a pretty pale girl, and when I first tired it on the color looked horrible, but after a quick spray tan it looked great! I wore the 4R and I probably could have gone down to the 2.

I like this dress, but I wouldn't say it was 'Wow'. It's more simple so you definitely need to play it up with jewelry and gorgeous hair. If you are planning on wearing 2" (or higher) heels and you are taller than 5'6, please get the Long! Otherwise, very cute dress.

Pretty dress but...
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I've rented from RTR a few times and have always had good experiences until now. Usually the sizing info they give you is right on, this time it wasn't. I'm usually a size 2 so I ordered a size 2 and 4 as a backup. The 2 fit my body well but was very short. Barefoot the dress didn't even touch the ground, which obviously isn't what you want for a gown, so that one was out. I put on the 4 and it was huge. It was a better length but was baggy everywhere, not flattering at all. Looking back I should have ordered the 2L and I probably would have been much happier but at 5'4 I've never had to order a "long" size in my life and after reading the measurements for this dress I should have been fine with the regular size. The dress is very pretty and I would have loved to be able to wear it, but unfortunately neither of the sizes worked. Be careful if you're over 5'2 ordering this dress in a regular size.

Very beautiful, movie-star style dress. I ended up choosing something different, but may rent this again for a later time. It covers up parts of the body that you may not want to show (i.e., perfect for a winter formal when I gain all of my "holiday weight").

Good backup!
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress as a backup in case my prom dress didn't fit and it was very nice. Although, the dress is pretty heavy and must be worn with fabric tape because the opening in the front reveals a bit too much even with a regular bra on, Not sure if I would rent it again... the dress color was also a bit too pale. Needless to say, it's a good backup for emergencies.

This dress was perfect for a wedding I was in. My only complaint was that it it drapes a bit low on the bust and I felt a bit revealing since I was in the wedding party. Overall it was a hit. Super comfortable and easy to wear with your own bra. I could have gone a size down.

I wore the size 2L. At least I think it was a 2L! I'm 5'8" and found some beautiful 5 inch heels for the event. However, I couldn't wear them because the dress was just too short!!!!! We ended up hunting all over the city that day for heels that would work. They were 3 inch heels in the end. Once I got the right shoes, the dress was great! I got so many compliments and it was surprisingly comfortable!

This dress is absolutely stunning. However, I had to send it back because it swamped me. I'm am broad shouldered and curvy but I just found there was too much material and it made me look a lot larger than I am over the waist and hips. If you want the Grecian goddess look, then go for it but if you want something slimming and tight fitting, this is probably not for you.

Great color, material and fit! Runs long.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large

I rented this for a formal event. The color is much prettier in person (has a pink hue to it). I am 5'2 and the 4R was very long, even with 4 inch heels...but didn't drag the floor. I am normally a size 6, but the 4 was perfect. I would order a size down as your back-up. The top is really drapey and low cut, but not obnoxious. You can wear a racer-back style bra or a normal one with the attachment that makes it a racer-back style. The material is thick and fully lined, so it does not cling. Great dress!

Absolutly Stunning!!!
Size worn: 12L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress for an evening wedding and it was perfect! The material has some stretch and has beautiful draping so this dress is very forgiving if you're curvy. The cowl neck hangs a little low...nothing too revealing but I was going to a family wedding so I was being extra conservative. Nothing a little double stick tape couldn't fix! The only thing to be careful of is that the dress is long. I'm 5' 8" and wore 4" heels and the dress just grazed the ground. I probably could have ordered the regular length and have been fine.

Beautiful, comfortable dress
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
Unfortunately, the photos just don't do this dress justice! The beading is gorgeous. It is an easy, comfortable gown to wear. I wore it to my husband's work event. I loved it and received several complements. However, I have two complaints about this dress. The first is that it's very low cut, more so than it seems in the photos. People were glancing down at my bust all night- not desirable in that situation! Second, it's very long. I ordered the long according to the sizing chart, but the dress was dragging the ground and I kept having to pick it up to avoid stepping on it. Regarding size, it runs large. I ordered the 6L since I am 8 weeks pregnant and figured I would need a little extra room. I ended up wearing the 4L instead. The waist is very stretchy, which makes it comfortable, but this dress is not true to size.
