I wore this for my school's prom, it gave off awesome retro vibes.

Size worn: XSL

Overall fit: True to Size

It fit very nicely. Difficult to find underthings as the fabric is so sheer, other than that, great dress!

A fun first RTR experience

Size worn: LL

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This was my first RTR experience, and started out kind of scary. It was immediately clear that the SL was too short for me. I put it on the LL and walked out of my room for feedback from the girls... crickets. It was just all weird and drapey, the drape was falling so low you could see the dress underneath. With some work with pins we got it looking presentable by pulling the drape up higher at the shoulders, and taking in the sides. I got out a needle and thread to sew how we had pinned it, and realized that the stitching holding the drape in place was coming out, which contributed to the strange effect. I fixed the missing stitches and used a brooch to hold in more of the drapes. I also had to sew up the zipper which also had some stitching coming out. In the end it was great for the 20's themed event, and easy to wear. At 5'10", the LL was the perfect length for me to wear flats. I wore the suggested spanx.

The dress fit the occassion PERFECTLY!!!!

Size worn: LL

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress to a "Roaring Twenties" themed event. Even though the dress was a good fit (I should have rented ML, but it wasn't available), there is no lining in it! Unless you have the body of a goddess, YOU WILL NEED SPANX! I definitely wore some spanx with this dress and I am so glad that I did. The length is perfect and the draping is beautiful (even though it was a little difficult to figure out which way the draping fell when putting it on). Everyone loved this dress!

I paired it with a 20's style black fur jacket and velvet black pumps. Everyone loved it and said I looked like I had just stepped out of the Great Gatsby era! I would totally rent this one again!

I got sooooooo many compliments on the dress and it made me feel truly beautiful.

Size worn: XSR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to a roaring 20s murder mystery party. This was the first dress I rented from renttherunway.com so I was a little nervous about it. Everything went smoothly! I was worried the color might clash with my skintone because I'm extremely pale but it looked really great! I got a small thinking I would fit into that but decided to get a backup in xs. The xs ended up fitting better.

Lovely, vintage-inspired gown; perfect for a special occasion!

Size worn: SL

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this gown for a wedding that was Great Gatsby themed. It was PERFECT and I received nothing but compliments on it the whole night. A few notes on the color and fit, as there seem to be some discrepancies in the picture and/or reviews. The color, in my opinion, could best be described as a neutral nude/buff...kind of like the color of medium toned liquid foundation. I am very pale (paler than the model probably), and the color did not wash me out. Regarding the size, I would NOT recommend this dress for taller ladies, unless you were looking for a very vintage/1920s look. I ordered and wore the SL and it came to about my ankles (I'm 5'8" and wore 3.5" heels). Overall, the look was perfect for the event, and I'm very satisified with the whole RTR experience.

I wore this dress to my Junior Ring dance.

Size worn: SR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was beautiful, but there were some fit issues. Although it fit like a glove through the torso, it was far too long. I wore 6 inch heels and the dress still dragged on the ground. Also, the fabric was much thinner than I expected. I would definitely recommend a slip. Overall, I thought this dress was lovely, but I would be wary if you're shorter.

The dress was so elegant, and while I wanted to get something vintage originally, I didn't have the time--renttherunway saved me from all stress, I HIGHLY recommend using them for any occasion! By the way, it was a big hit with my circle of friends, Ferrari (who I work for, and why I was at the Event) as well as the SF Opera Ball attendees. I want to own this dress!

Size worn: MR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Firstly, I was beyond impressed with the impeccable customer service that renttherunway gave me, the entire process from start to finish went swimmingly! I needed a gown within a 4 day time period of a big formal event I was to attend, and it ended up being perfect! This gorgeous dress is true to size--I actually fit the small dress better than the medium I ended up wearing (it looked better!)--but since you cannot really get away with wearing ANYTHING underneath it (it's one layer of nude colored silk, that, is all)--I felt more comfortable at an opening Gala for the San Francisco Opera with a looser fitting dress...just a heads up on the undergarment part.

The bride told me I looked better than her.

Size worn: LR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I'm a 36D and it was a little snug in the chest, but other than that it was great. I would recommend a slip as it was very thin and slightly see through.

Was the belle of the ball!

Size worn: XSR

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

Wore this to a 1920's themed office party and got compliments all night long, including from people whom I had never seen before. In person it looked a little dingier than in the RTR pics, but it was still gorgeous. Also, word to the wise, the sash tying was a non-trivial task. Keep some reference images in front of you, and be prepared to iron the sash out before wearing. Would rent this again without a doubt.

Perfect for a Roaring 20's night!

Size worn: XSL

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to a roaring 20's (Boardwalk Empire theme) NYE party and it was perfect! Captured the era perfectly, was super flattering, and made me feel glamorous. It is quite fitted and slinky, I wore spanx to protect in that area... and would recommend no matter your body type because of the material, which is very sheer. But overall the gown is beautiful! My first, and definitely not my last experience with RTR

Many compliments

Size worn: SR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

What I liked about it is it was different. It was easy to wear - not fussy which was great since I had to work. It was long on me even in heals, so if you are under 5'5", it will touch the ground. It is pretty sheer so wear nude colors underneath.

Designed for the hour glass figure

Size worn: MR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Dress is soft, airy and comfortable. It was very true to size. I wore low heels and the length was fine. I felt phenomenal in this dress. I was sad to send it back in the mail. It seemed that the designer had the hour glass figure in mind when designing this dress.

I rented this dress for a black tie event. It fit true to size overall, was a little big in the hips. It was a beautiful dress.

Multiple random wedding guests stopping me to tell me, "You look absolutely stunning."

Size worn: SL

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

Silk chiffon hugs your body, whatever shape it is. I ordered the MR and the SL as my backup size. I am 6'0", 145lbs, broad shoulders, no boobs, narrow hips, and was a bit worried based on other self-described curvy reviewers describing this as a perfect dress for them. Apparently this dress is made of magic, because it fit like it was made just for me. The SL was in much better shape than the MR and fit a bit more snugly (I ended up unzipping the top part under the drape and going sans bra -- it was the most comfortable outfit I have ever worn to a wedding) -- so the SL won the race to the wedding. Danced for hours, had to smack hands that kept drifting to my silky chiffon-draped bottom... I wore the dress with black pumps, feather earrings, and a simple black leather cord necklace and bracelet combo, paired with a black Brooks Brothers blazer for when it cooled off later that night. I couldn't be happier, and look forward to my next chance to rent the runway.

better than expected

Size worn: MR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I was preoccupied by the nude tone, fearing it would wash me out or be too light. The color was a perfect blush nude, so no worries there. I thought it may be too plain, but the barrage of compliments I got suggested otherwise. Even though the small fit with plenty of room, I wore the medium bc the dress was just in better shape overall and hung better over my hips (I was having some static cling problems). This did cause some looseness around the armholes/bust, but fashion tape held that in place over my bra. Lastly, I'm glad I read these reviews, bc a slip is KEY. Actually, just wear a nude bra and those spanx shorts that go to your knee, bc a dress slip made a visible line across my thighs. Overall, I think people thought more highly of this dress on me than I did, so I'm very pleased.

elogant and sophisticated

Size worn: LL

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented this for a ball and had a lot of compliments. The regular was fine but I wanted it a little longer so i wore the long version. Beware that there is NO LINING so be prepared to get a long slip. I wore spanx underneath too and a strapless bra. The dress is forgiving if you have a larger bust and "womanly" hips, too. Wore it with antiqued silver cuff, ring, and dainty earrings and black shoes.

Beautiful, but very long

Size worn: XSR

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

When I received the dress, I realized that the picture shown here is a pale representation: it looks much better. It was flatering and I received numerous compliments from strangers (which I consider to be a genuine barometer). Things to watch for: - I'm 5'2 and even with platform heels, the dress was floor length (even a bit too long) - The fabric is very thin and will probably not cover any imperfections from the back (such as cellulite) if it's tight - Wear with nude shoes to accentuate height
