This dress was perfect for a formal wedding.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I received this dress at last minute after my size wasn't available in my original dress, but I ended up loving it. It's a flattering cut, great color, and was perfect for hitting the dance floor all night at a wedding. It fits relatively true to size, with a little bit of extra room/fabric in the midsection. I paired it with Kate Spade chandelier earrings and a Nicole Miller bracelet.

I felt the best dressed on New Years!!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress made me feel so beautiful. It fit perfectly. I am 5'2" and it came just below my kneecap. I like that the dress squeezes in at the waist to accentuate your waist. I have D size breasts so the top was not a problem for me, it fit like a glove. I am so happy I had this dress and received compliments all night long.

Very flattering dress!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this for a wedding and got tons of compliments! Had to use the complimentary wardrobe tape to tack down the bust on the inside or it folded out a little at the seam, but everything else was great. This dress was comfortable, feminine and flattering - worked perfectly for this event. I have nothing but great things to say about Rent the Runway-- this was my first time trying this service, and I will definitely do it again! I also talked it up to several other gals at the wedding - fantastic idea, fantastic service, easy and fun -- nothing but positive.

My first dress choice was no longer available. But I loved my 2nd option WAY MORE than the 1st!!!

Fits loose through the stomach/waist area (well, I do have a pretty small waist though!) But this dress is amazing for curvy women! You definitely need a strapless bra. And it's not for the ladies with a smaller chest. But I LOVED this dress. It was cute, comfortable, and I was able to dance the night away!

Love this dress, beautiful fabric and very flattering. Lela Rose generally runs big, I typically wear a 4 and I wear a 0 or 2 in Lela Rose dresses. Perfect for an office work party!

I got so many compliments on this dress! It hit me at the knee, and I would definitely recommend a nubra as the straps and neckline do not work with a regular bra. The fabric is tight, but it stretches, and the color is a brighter purple in person!

Great Service!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

For a dress that as expensive as it is, I was a tad dissappointed in the quality of the material; I'm not sure whether to attribute that to the fact that the dress has been worn numerous times. Nevertheless, the color is beautiful; very similar to what is pictures. It's a great alternative to a black dress without being too bold. The neckline is very flattering to larger chested women. This dress definitely runs big so I'd size down. Since i'm a big large chested my top is typically an 8 and my pant size is a 6 but I could have easily went for a 6 in this dress - it also has stretch in the material. This dress definitely accturates your waist and could definite hide any lower stomach areas of concurs if you were to wear spans! I did not end up wearing this dress because I did want something that was a tad tighter and the size 6 in this dress was unavailable.

Great dress, incredibly flattering.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Loved this dress! Wore it to a wedding and it was perfect for both the ceremony at the church and the reception. Super comfy too. My bra straps showed a bit so I ended up not wearing a bra--the dress is supportive enough that you don't really need one. A strapless would work too. I thought it ran a bit on the large side--if you are small-busted and on the narrow side, you might want to go a size down. The 8 was far far too big. The 6 fit well but could have been a little more snug up top. Overall, though, felt like a million bucks!

Lovely dress, perfect for gala dinner

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The 10 was a little snug in the hips, the 12 a little large in the bust. Had I thought of it and seen the fashion tape in the box, I could have used that to adjust the fit. Still, I loved the dress, very classy, and I will definitely try RTR again.

I wore this for a Fall wedding. The color really pops - brighter purple than in the photo. The stretch made it super comfortable and flattering. You need a strapless bar and a full size cup... this dress is not made for flat chests. I am a small C and couldn't fill it out...

This was a backup dress for another dress that didn't fit in the bust. The dress was not well proportioned for my 5'3" frame, so I didn't wear it. The fabris was high quality and the dress was well structured.

Beautiful, not for flat chest

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This is a lovely dress, but as I suspected with this cut, it is wasn't very flattering on my A-cup bust. I had to use all of the tape included in the dress kit to keep the top from falling open. I was still happy to wear the dress. I got a few compliments on the pretty, interesting color.

Love the dress color and the fit is beautiful up top, especially the shoulder area. Not to mention that it does a nice job showing off the legs. Would definitely rent again.

Zero was too big!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for a wedding I attended. Good thing I rented another back-up dress with this one, because the size zero that came was incredibly too big! The dress was wearing me - I felt like an old lady. I normally wear a size zero - one in pants, shorts , etc. I am 5'2 , 32 C, and this dress was almost like I could fit another person in it! I would definitely suggest you get the extra size to double check to make sure it will fit! The dress looks beautiful on the model and beautiful on the hanger , just not on me. Enjoy your event ladies, enjoy the dress!
