WHERE CAN I BUY IT?!

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress! I felt so sexy in it. The placement of the nude blocking did wonders for my curves. (wish I would've gotten a pic standing up) And the sheer part on top definitely gave it a little extra something-something. The material is not very thick, but not in a bad way. Loved loved LOVED this this dress!

This dress is super comfortable and easy to wear. Someone told me I had the best dress of the night!

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved wearing this dress. I'm 5'3" and I thought the length was perfect. I'm normally a size 4 or 2, I ordered both and ended up wearing the 4. It was not as tight and I thought it was easier to wear. FYI: It does show underwear lines, I went comando since I hate spanx, but others might not be comfortable with that.

I definitely will be using Rent the Runway for years to come! This dress arrived on time, fit perfectly, and was even more beautiful in person than in the picture. I loved it so much, I didn't want to send it back!

The dress is true to size. Hugs every curve. Easy to wear with a regular bra. I will rent this dress again. Wish I owned it. I wore the dress to my son's ring ceremony. The dress is great for day time or night.

Chic
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Rented this for an afternoon wedding in April. I am typically a 10 or 12, albeit a fit 12, in dresses depending on how the dress is shaped. While both dresses fit better in different places, I am smaller up top compared to my hips, I went with the 12. I wore a pair of light compression spanx to smooth things out under the dress, but not enough that it would have changed the size I chose to wear. I wore a shrug over the dress, to hide my arms. The dress was extremely comfortable and the fabric was so soft. I loved the exposed back zipper and mesh upper details. I would love to own this dress, and I'll search for a good deal to find it. There was a sort of smell the dresses had, but letting them hang in a breezy room eliminated that. Please excuse my messy room in the photo, will try to get a picture from the wedding

Loved this dress! Comfortable, sexy, and simple.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Did I say comfortable? The dress was perfect for a summer/spring evening wedding. I ordered the 2 and 4 in case the dress ran big, but I wore the 4 (which is my normal size). The 2 fit, but felt a little too snug. The hem fell right at the top of my knee (despite how it looks on the model). The dress was what I would call conservative sexy -- it was simple and covered everything, but I felt oh so sexy in it. It hugs your curves but is very forgiving at the same time. I still have a little baby weight to lose in my midection, and the area where the nude and black fabric met in the front masked it perfectly! No spanx for me! The top is sheer but I decided to just swap out the detatchable straps in my bra for clear ones for more security. In person you couldn't tell, but in some of my pictures you can see a slight glare from the straps. Oh well. I got lots of compliments...even from the bride herself! I highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVED this dress. Perfect for my event...A MUST RENT DRESS!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress is super comfortable, although, don't be fooled by the mesh on the neckline. You must look closely but its there and adds the finishing touch to this amazing dress. The length was just right for my black tie event, I was worried it would be too short but I couldn't have been more happier. When I tried on the 8 it fit snug on my bum, but my spanx slimmed everything. The 10 was a great fit also, except the top was a little loose on the sides (which the 8 fit great on top). I will definitely be renting more dresses in the future. Love the service and everything that Rent the Runway had to offer. Satisfied!!

This dress was a very easy fit, and very comfortable. I would highly recommend it, as it did not wrinkle the whole night I wore it. The swirl detail compliments your curves in just the right places!

This dress fit like a glove. I thought the four was going to be too tight, but it relaxes the longer you wear it. The size six was to loose up top. This dress accentuates all the right spots.

Stylist Review!

This dress is beyond chic, yet still super comfy and easy to wear! I loved the color-blocking and the mesh detail at the shoulders. The stretchy ponte material is so comfortable and flattering. It's fitted all throughout but not too tight at all. This is the perfect day-to-night dress, and I will definitely be renting it soon!

Didn't wear this, but still a great dress
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I'd say this is more of a party, date night dress, not for a formal affair. Very flattering, fit me well. It was longer than I'd have wanted for a fun/party -- knee legnth on me and I'm 5'11". Maybe it would have been shorter if I had ordered the 8. (I have rented ERIN dresses before... but I lost weight since the last time...

Perfect for work event

I went with my other dress, but this was very flattering. Conservative but fun, so great for a work event. The pink shwoop also cuts right through the midsection so is very flattering for those looking to minimize the tummy!

great fit beautiful dress
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
fit was true to size although I opted for the 6 instead of the 4 because i preferred a looser fit for the occasion - business related event. good fabric great quality only rode up minimally which usually happens with dresses like this - another reason I opted for the larger size. It is however a little longer than pictured the dress was about knee length on me.

Finding a designer dress that not only fit but made me feel awesome!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
After a good while (like...a month worth of being picky and worried and concerned) of looking for a dress for my sister's wedding, I finally chose this Erin Featherson dress. It's a bodycon dress and has some proper sass with the mesh black top but it's still conservative for a church wedding and for a tall girl like me, I appreciated it. Me not being the tiniest girl around, I was fearful this wouldn't fit, but after a RTR rep told me this actually ran large (and she was really nice, too.) I took the chance and rented it in a 12 and a size smaller in a 10. Thankfully, I didn't even need the 10. The 12 was perfection. I didn't want to take it off! I didn't really have issues here - mine was so new, it had the tags on it and it came with all these samples and a garment bag. Just the experience was great. Since the wedding was in March in Boston, I wore black tights and black booties just to keep warm. I got compliments from family and friends when I sent the pictures out and my mom is even using one of them as her background of her iPad. If that's not a compliment, than I don't know what to say. Now since I have a graduation coming up soon, I know exactly where to go for the dress!

Loved this dress. It ran true to size but is incredibly fitted and unforgiving! Finding undergarments to wear with this dress is tough. Commandos do not even work with this! Loved the fit and the colors.

The dress hugs your body. After a few hours, it gets a little loose but not a big deal. Awesome for formal affairs since it's not short. I would rent it again any day! :D

Comfortable great looking dress
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Nice quality stretchy fabric that fit well, looked good. One thing that doesn't really show in the photo is the top black part is actually sheer, which made it just partyish enough. I wore it to a wedding but it's conservative enough you could wear it to a work event. I had both the 10 and the 12. The 12 the top part was a little large for me the 10 the top fit perfect but I wanted to eat so wore the 12. I wore a black cardigan over it anyway (it was cold) so the slight gap wasn't an issue.
