I really liked this dress because it was longer and less fitted, so I know it would be prefect to rent again for any more conservative occasion. The color was beautiful too!

I tried on this dress at the Rent the Runway moments party and as soon as I stepped out the dressing room I received compliments of how flattering it looks on me.

This dress is a nice fit especially if you do not necessarily want the dress to show off your stomach. If you are a little chestier you need to be aware because the plunge is deeper for you than on the model.

This is a beautiful dress, just beautiful. However, it wasn't the best design for my shape. It is VERY tight through the midriff, which is my problem area. I didn't end up wearing it because I wanted to be able to breathe!

Not my kind of dress.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was sent as a replacement of a back-up dress, because something happened with the one I ordered and it wasn't available. I have to be honest, I hated this dress. In the picture it doesn't look so bad. In person, it looks like a safari themed carpet bag. It's incredibly heavy as well. That said, some people may be fine with it, but it just wasn't my style. I didn't end up needing it, and wore the first dress I ordered, which worked out nicely.

Very nice fabric and well made dress; did not fit perfectly, though

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I am 5/'4 and went with the 6 and the 8. The 6 fit perfectly except in the chest area, it was a bit big and a bit too low cut....

Flattering, but runs small

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

This dress has a very flattering cut, although it runs small on top, so bustier women should size up. Love that it had pockets! The only downside was I wasn't too fond of the material -- it felt like I skinned a couch and made a dress out of it like Scarlett O'Hara. In the end, I feel like the rental price was more expensive than the dress was really worth.

Looking elegant, fun, and on-trend all at the same time!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

This is a gorgeous dress with a foil pattern that isn't overbearing-- it shimmers just slightly. It isn't a fitted dress (I prefer things a little tighter around the waist), but it still gave me some shape. The top cuts very low/wide, so I had to check that my strapless bra wasn't showing from time to time. The pockets were a definite plus!

On the website it might not be as eye catching as some others, but in person it's a stunner!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this to the rehearsal dinner for my wedding. I adored it and thought that it was the perfect balance of sexy and classy. In person you can see the slight metallic sheen and pattern of the fabric better, I think that the palm print helps keep it less formal than it might otherwise be. The cut of the dress is extremely flattering as the mid-section is very fitted, but overall I believe that the dress runs true to size. I also loved that it had pockets, so that I didn't have to carry a clutch. The only complaint I had about this dress is that the zipper on both the 4 and the 6 were very difficult to work and kept getting stuck.

This dress is just beautiful. The fit is very flattering. I have a fat stomach and not much of a waist, but I looked like a had a nice figure in this dress. I wore it to my son's wedding and was complemented on it all night.

Chest too tight to wear :(

Although the size eight zipped up fine, the fit was not flattering. Too bad because the fabric and cut oft his dress really impressed me. I wish I would have gone up a size to accommodate my large chest.

I loved this dress. It has a very classic look with the super fitted bodice and fuller skirt. The material is nice and heavy so it doesn't stretch, order your second size up. Gave me cleavage, a rare occurrence! I would totally rent this again.

Love this dress!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress to a black-tie optional dinner. It is absolutely gorgeous and has such a flattering fit. I got so many complements all night long. I rented the 2 and the 4 and ended up going with the 2. The top half is very fitted, and the bottom half is not, so it works nicely on a pear-shaped figure. I am 5'6"/5'7" and it hit right at my knee, the straps are about 2-3 fingers wide, and the top did not show cleavage on me (small bust), but probably would on someone with a larger chest. I typically wear a 2 in dresses, so it runs true to size. It is a heavy weight, which is perfect for this time of year and it has pockets. The fabric has a gorgeous shine to it, and looks awesome on anyone with blue or green eyes. Overall, I am obsessed with this dress and wish I could have kept it! It is beautiful! Thank you RTR!
