This dress made me feel so beautiful only 1 month after having my first baby. Highly recommended!!!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress exactly 1 month after having my first baby. It was absolutely perfect, very flattering and hid all the parts of my body that I'm self conscious about at the moment (belly and hip/thigh areas). The only regret I have is not going a size up to an 8 for my second size. All the other reviews said order a size down as it runs big, however, I'm 5'2" and the length is very short even for me and the material has NO give at all. I'm currently sporting a very large chest postpartum and wished it would have stretched just a little.

AMAZING DRESS!! I couldn't believe how cute it was in person! I received so many compliments. Incredibly flatter and perfect for any celebratory occasion. I got it in a size 0 and it fit perfectly. The only thing I would say is that the straps on top were a bit lose, but the rest of perect.

I got so many compliments on this dress. RTR is a great idea for any occasion.

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

The dress wasn't offered in the 10, so I got the 8 and 12. The 12 worked but I do think that the 10 may have been better. I used all of the run way tape they gave me in the kit for the back. The front fit perfectly and the length wasn't an issue. The back puckers, so be sure to have the tape for that. I would wear this dress again and recommend it for anyone. Enjoy ladies!

I wore this dress to my boyfriends formal in Canada. I received compliment on the dress and the INCREDIBLE necklace all night.The dress was a bit too large; I had to wear a belt and use dress tape. While I was a bit uncomfortable with the dress at first after some adjustments, I felt beautiful! The bubble skirt was adorable and great for dancing. The dress length was perfect and very enjoyable to wear. Would recommend this dress to my friends.

This dress was the perfect mix of fun and class for a date night on vacation in NYC. Fit was true to size and even accommodated my larger chest, which isn't always the case. Got many compliments on the dress and loved pairing it with a black tight. I had a great first RTR experience and look forward to using the service again soon!

I wore a 4, but could have fit in a 2. It runs large, so go down a size or two. It was a fantastic dress. Well fitted, emphasized my small waist and long neck. It was a perfect prom dress, but could easily have worked for anything. Very sophisticated and classy, I loved it!

So easy!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding this February. I was flying in from abroad, and couldn't shop for a black dress prior to the event. I rented the dress online, spoke with a fit specialist, and it was fantastic. Came on time, in great condition, and shipping it back couldn't have been easier (I literally just handed it to the hotel front desk on my way to the airport). It was wonderful not having to pack a fancy dress. The dress is really easy to wear, flattering, and photographs well. I am 5' 2" and the length was a couple inches above the knee. I am a 32D but did not find it tight in the chest, like some other reviewers. It is a bit low in the front, so I had to run and buy a new bra the day before the wedding to make sure it didn't show. Next time, I'll pack several underwear options when I rent a dress and am traveling!

RTR was easy and fun. The dresses arrived on time, in a garment bag. Helped make me look great!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I loved this dress. It was not stretchy AT ALL. If you are big-chested, this might be difficult for you to get into. I wear a B cup. I wore a lightly padded bra and as you can see... I looked a lot bustier than i really am (PLUS!) I am hourglass/pear shaped and the dress's cut was great for me by drawing attention away from my big booty. The dress's straps have bra strap holders so you can wear a bra with straps which is great. Overall, comfortable, but be careful with the fit. It fits true to size, so don't think you can "squeeze" into this dress. You won't be able to breathe!

I wore this for my brithday dinner and it hide the little bit of weight I had put on and made my boobs look great. Definitley would rent again. Runs a tad small though so if you are inbetween sizes as I am I would reccomend going to the next size up instead of the next size down.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The beauty of this dress, to me, is that it can look amazing on a woman of any age. The fit is true to size and it is so comfortable to wear. I didn't feel the need to tug or adjust at any time during the night. The length is flattering and not so short that I worried about dancing in it. I loved it and hope to rent it again - perhaps in a different size when I lose a few pounds!

Rented for: Party

This was my first rent the runway experience and I am hooked! Loved the dress... I did size down to a 4... ( normally take between a size 4 or 6) and the 4 was still a bit roomy. Perfect fit other than the fact I had to pull up the dress alot from preventing my bra from showing.

Wore it for my engagement pics and have received so many compliments. I paired the dress with my Christian Louboutin black satin Very Prive heels and RTR's Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Drop Earrings. SIDE NOTE: I don't know if it's because I have a small upper body, but the straps fell down often mostly hanging off of the shoulders.

perfect NYE party dress

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was so comfortable, but it was a little shorter than I would have liked. I wore opaque tights with it so it worked out fine but just know it's pretty short. I liked that the straps had little button clasps to hold your bra straps in so you don't have to wear a strapless. All in all, it was exactly what I was hoping it would be, a cute party dress to wear for a wedding on New Years Eve!

Loved this dress, fit good with larger bust size. However, makes you look bigger if you have wider hips because of how the dress puffs out. I recommend for smaller frames, bow is the perfect touch!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for a holiday party. I wore sheer tights with a back seam as shown in the photo. I felt great in the dress and was comfortable all night. It did run a tad big in the straps, however there were snaps to keep your bra in place that helped keep the straps up. I had requested a 2 as my backup, but it was unavailable. I think the 2 may have fit a tad better. I'd recommend that renters get a size down as a backup.

I rented this dress for a sorority semi-formal and it was perfect! I typically wear a 4 but ended up wearing the size 2. I could have worn either but I preferred the snugger fit around my rib cage. It was a very flattering dress and made my chest look great. Needless to say, it was a hit with the boyfriend as well. My only complaint was that the dress may was starting to show its wear. I had to spray the bow with starch and use double stick tape to give it some life.

Classic, Chic, & a bit of Sexy

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I have to say my renting experience with RTR was phenomenal and I've been chattering on about it ever since. I ordered the dress for the wrong date & realized it two nights before the wedding. They shipped it out immediately and I received it about 4 hours before the wedding (nothing like a little drama). On to the dress. My style icon is Lauren Conrad and I was immediately drawn to this dress. After I flipped through the pictures.. I wasn't sold but for some reason, I just kept coming back to this dress. I usually wear a size 4, however after reading reviews on it running large, I ordered a size 2 as my backup. That's the size I wound up wearing. It was a little tight under my ribs but I'm small chested so I'm used to that :) I paired the dress with blingy jewels (which I never normally wear) and the outcome was gorgeous! I think more people complemented my dress than the bride's lol. It was so classic and elegant with a touch of sexy. I was able to dance, drink, dine without feeling uncomfortable at all. The worst part was having to return this dress :( So in love and would recommend it to anyone with a classic style.

It fit perfectly, though it was a bit shorter than I had expected (that wasn't a bad thing though). The straps have bra strap holders which were SO helpful since it looked a thousand times better with a normal bra than a strapless one.

I rented the dress for a Halloween Party and it was a hit and looked the part! The 0 was a little big around the waist so i tightened it with a ribon . Also, the length was longer than I expected and the top straps could have fit better on someone with more of a chest than i do. Overall i got lots of compliments on the dress and it worked great for the event!

This was my first RTR item- I couldn't have been happier! When deciding dresses, the reviews really decided it for me. The 4 fit great, slightly tight in the bust, but not too much, although it was lower than I would have wished. I styled it with chunky pears (very Audery Hepburn) Perfect legnth, and not uncomfortable, the fabric is satin and easy to dance in!

I'm about 5"4, 130 pounds and it fit perfectly. I wear a D cup and the top wasn't constricting at all. It was also a nice length for the event and hit me mid to lower thigh. The bow in the middle is a really nice touch. Makes the dress very flattering! It has a satin-y look to it, so it could definitely be worn to a formal event. I wore it to my sorority's bid night and I got so many compliments on this dress - would definitely rent again!

The dress is constructed very well and looked flawless while hiding my flaws. I'm narrow but on the curvier side so the fact that it nipped in my waist and hid my lower half was great. I did get a fair amount of notice where the cleavage is concerned so it's not for anyone who's a little shy!

I was in the house party for my friend's wedding where we were instructed to wear black so I used RTR for the first time and fell in love! The dress was absolutely perfect although the fit was a little large. Bottom line, if you need a classic dress and have the boobs to fill it out, Milly is the gold standard.

I absolutely love this dress! It was perfect for the formal college dance I went to at the Seattle Art Museum. It is very classy and sophisticated and I received a ton of compliments! Though it was a bit longer than I was expecting and the straps were a little lose, so if I rent this dress again I will definitely go down a size. But overall a lovely dress and the material was very high quality.
