Incredible fit, incredibly comfortable, and absolutely awesome dress. The fit and cut was perfect. I am 6 foot tall and everything hit in the right spots! I was a little nervous to see if the peplum would make my hips look wider but it had a great slimming affect. I would wear this again....and again...and again!!

The dress met all my expectations. The fabric was thicker than I anticipated but did not cause any troubles. The only negative is it was a bit tight in the hips, but that's my fault for not working out for a few months.

This dress was very flattering especially from the front. I was comfortable in the length and the fabric. There is not a ton of give in the skirt or armholes as others had mentioned, but still was perfect. I got lots of compliments. Nude sandals made it less conservative and more fun!!!

4 fit perfectly. I could probably have also worn a 2, but with no slit in the skirt it was nice to have a little extra room. The material is heavier but so soft with just enough stretch. It was nice to find a dress that was both fun and appropriate for a professional event.

I love this dress! It was very flattering - the peplum is in the perfect location on the waist - and very comfortable. It fit as I expected, it was a bit tight around the legs since it didn't have a slit, but it didn't look too small and wasn't uncomfortable. I would recommend this for a cocktail party, a work function, a wedding or a date. Very sexy without being revealing at all. Loved it!

Very formfitting but not too much which was nice. It fit my chest well without making me appear large, which is sometimes hard to find when you have bigger breasts. I wore it to my friends engagement party and felt like it could've easily been dressed up more if necessary. I normally wear a 4 but was able to wear a 2.

Classy, flattering, perfect for the charity event!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I wore this dress for a "cocktail" type charity event for the American Heart Association. I usually where a size 6 but was pleasantly surprised when the 4 fit perfectly. This dress hugs in all the right places and the peplum is very flattering. I am 5'7' and have a bit of a "booty" so sometimes dresses like this are just TOO short or TOO tight. This one was perfect...there was no pulling it down the entire night and because the top was sleeveless I could wear a regular bra for ultimate comfort. I paired it with a "statement" necklace and a belt (dresses that fit my lower body tend to be a bit large around my waist...so the belt was a great final touch. I'd recommend this dress to anyone!

I received so many compliments on this dress! What a confidence booster! The only thing that I disliked was that it was a little snug at the bottom, which made it difficult to walk, but I'd rather have the dress hug my curves than be too loose. Definitely may have to rent this again!

Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was my first time to use Rent the Runway. I ordered this dress in a size 4 and 6 for my fiance's semi-formal work party in San Francisco. Both sizes fit, but the 6 was a little baggy around the waist so I chose to wear the 4. I felt like it was sexy yet sophisticated and got compliments from several people throughout the night. I have to say that it is pretty tight fitting around the hips and through the thighs/butt so if you plan to be doing a lot of dancing, be careful! Other than that, it is a beautiful dress and would be great for a wedding, date, girls' night our or work party.

I was initially worried that the dress wouldn't fit up top, but it fit perfectly! Also, it was stretchy enough at the bottom to fit my hips. I got the size lower, however, because I had noticed in the reviews that this dress ran particularly small. The dress arrived on time and it was super easy to send back! Loved it!

This dress fit perfectly!Felt amazing, would totally recommend if you want to be classic & fabulous. Got so many compliments! Especially if you have olive skin tone or just look great in the color RED! The only thing I would look out for is the bottom is pretty fitted and not stretchy so had to take smaller steps, wasn't uncomfortable at all though! LOVED!

I have worn size 8 in other rental dresses but had but a little weight on and was worried about the sizing. I order a size 8 and 10 for my back up. The 8 fit good so I did not try on the 10. I am only 5'1" so I used the heming tape to shorten one hems length and it camp to my knees. The gold leaf was the perfect touch and I received many compliments on both items. I have two more dresses reserved one for January and one for February. They will be my 5th and 6th rental. Thank you for providing this service RTR.

The dress totally accented my cursed in a very classy manner. The dress as a little snug because there is no split but not uncomfortable. I am normally a 2, but when I heard the dress ran small I tried a 0, and it really fit perfectly. I would recommend this dress.

Perfect work holiday party dress!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I loved wearing this dress for my work holiday party. I got a lot of compliments on it. It was a great color red and fit like a glove. I am usually somewhere between a 2 and a 4 and unfortunately the 4 wasn't available when I ordered the dress so I risked it and got the 2 after reading other reviews that it ran a bit on the large side. I'm glad I took the gamble because the fit was perfect. I wasn't sure how the peplum would work since I don't usually like full skirts on my body but it was actually very flattering. My only complaints would be that i wish there was a slit in the skirt. It's pretty fitted so without a slit it was hard to walk up stairs etc. I also wish it was a little lower cut in the back since it is a very full-coverage dress...I guess its a sexy shape without showing too much skin :) I would definitely order again!

I rented this dress for my husband's company holiday party. It was perfect. Very classy and feminine. The color was vibrant and prefect for the holiday vibe. Erin Fetherston is one of my new favorite designers. I rented a size 8 & 10 and wore the 8. There is no slit in the narrow pencil style skirt so it can be limiting when dancing... but I did ok! I wore it with a Kate Spade necklace, also rented on RTR. It was perfect!

I usually wear a 6. This size 6 ran large. If you are short, this dress needs to be worn with heels. I tried to wear it with flats and it made my legs look stubby because the dress is long enough to hit below the knee. It was comfortable, and covered my stomach area. Loved it.

This dress is incredible. I cannot even count he number of compliments I received. I wore it to my nephew's Bar Mitzvah, and just felt like a million bucks all day. Almost everyone I spoke to complimented me on the dress and wanted to know where I got it. It really just fit perfectly. I think this is the type of dress that would be good for all body types. I styled it with tan heels that I own, plus I rented the handbag that the model is wearing.

Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I received this dress in 2 sizes, day before a black tie wedding. It was a great dress for the occasion. I am petite (5'1") and a 34DD so I ordered a size 4 and 6. I am normally a 4 unless a dress runs tight in the chest and I have to go up a size. The 4 fit PERFECTLY across my entire body, including the chest. But it was long, which I expected given the other reviews and my height. I had ordered the hem tape, unfortunately for some reason, it didn't arrive with the dress. This was my first rental from RTR and it was just human error. Although I could not wear the dress (I had no time to go find/buy hem tape ) I would not hesitate to rent again- they were very gracious in refunding my money under the circumstances. The dress was beautiful and flattering!

I was deciding between the 0 and the 2 but ended up wearing the 2 since the 0 was tight around the knees at the bottom. I wore it to my sorority formal and absolutely loved it!

Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress for a wedding (along with one of the statment necklaces from RTR) and accessorized in black. I usually wear between a 4 and 6 depending on the designer and I went with the 4 for a more snug fit. This dress was super comfy and I received a lot of compliments. I would recommend this dress. I would say the only drawback was no matter what size I tried on, the dress pulled a little in the leg area. I noticed in the pictures from other reviewers it also did that on some other women. Not a big issue but throwing that out there. Great dress!

I rented sizes 6 and 8 and both were far too large for me to wear. I have a very athletic build, muscular legs and glutes, so I figured a form-fitting dress like this would be too small for my curves. Boy was I wrong--I was swimming in both of them!

Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I normally wear a 4 or a 6 but after reading the reviews, I ordered this in a 2 and a 4. The 4 fit fine. Because of my chest, I couldn't get into the 2. But really, I think that you have to be taller (I'm 5'2") to pull this off. The dress came past the top of my knee; I would have preferred that it be a few inches shorter. As a result, it was fitted through my thighs and then baggy around my knees. I tried "hemming" with fashion tape, but you could see the bulk of the material, and it looked worse. Between the high neckline and the too-long skirt, I felt too covered up. The material is so casual, too. If the fabric were dressier, then maybe a more covered-up look would have been comfortable. This was my first RTR disappointment.

This dress is just "okay" - the quality nor style seems like a Designer Dress to me. The fabric is just like a cotton blend (seems inexpensive) so it's not all that flattering. The size 10 fit fine, I just thought it was a little bland of a dress, and I wasn't a fan of the split peplum look. I had rented it for a conference but ended up wearing a REISS dress I own that looks much more expensive and stylish.

Great dress - beautiful color, and love the style.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large

It was very fitted (almost like a stretchy thick cotton), but very comfortable. It did run a little on the larger side, as I would typically wear a 6 for my hip size in fitted dresses such as this, however I had tried the 6 on in a store and it was way to large on top. I dressed it up with a large necklace but you could definitely put a sparkly belt with it to give it a dress up the fabric. It does add a little bit of width to your hips with the peplum style, but I think it does it in a flattering way!

The dress ran a little big for me. I rented a size up after reading several reviews that stated the dress was a little small and to go up a size. I LOVED the color of this dress!!! And I never wear red. The dress fit like a glove. It hugged my curves in all the right places. I wore it to a wedding and the color definitely stood out in a good way.
