Easter Parade

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to the Chris Owens Easter Parade in New Orleans. I rode on one of the floats during the parade and this dress was so comfortable. The fabric is a little stretchy and it gives when you move about. Every time I got on the elevator in the hotel, different guests would compliment me on my dress. It was perfect! Thanks RTR!

This dress was incredibly flattering and the wedding photographer told me it was her favorite dress of the season! I am in love with it so much that I might buy it. The detail is beautiful, but you have to be careful with it to not snag it on anything.

Perfect for dressing up or down!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I was worried that the lace would be too delicate on this dress; but it held up great over my Reunion Dinner. The slip/lining is firmly connected to the lace and it means you can wear a regular bra. I wore the 2, but would have preferred the 0--it appears I was sent the wrong size (maybe a 4?) instead of the 0. For a dress with minimal shaping, the color and design are mega-flattering, but you want to make sure the fit is close.

Fits well. I usually need either a 6 or an 8. I wore the 6 because the 8 was loose. Both sizes bunched a bit in the front.

Everyone said I looked gorgeous in my dress. I felt beautiful!

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The fit was perfect for me, but might be a little tight for bustier girls. Spanx were a definite necessity for me, but overall it looked great. The fabric is a little more crocheted than i was expecting and the bib is a lighter purple than the rest of the dress. I was a little concerned about snagging, but luckily I went sans bracelet and ring that evening It made me feel beautiful and even though I was a little nervous about spilling on it or tearing the fabric, I had a great time.

beautiful color and very comfortable

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was very comfortable and easy to wear. You can just wear a regular bra and don't have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions. The length and flt are flattering, and the color is beautiful. The only con was my bf's suit jacket button got caught in the lace twice during slow dances. Since it's a rental I panicked a bit (!) but the lace ended up being fine. Would highly recommend.

The party had a Roaring 20s theme, and this dress, with its details, was a smash hit!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Through the hips and waist, the dress was a great fit and really showed off my figure. I happened to rather well endowed in the top area, so it was a little snug, but nothing that was in appropriate, or too tight to move around and dance in. I felt completely comfortable and everyone thought the dress was stunning!

Easiness of delivery. However, one of my dresses only came in one size (when it was supposed to come in two sizes) and it was too small.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I loved this dress. I am an athletic build and it was a little too big in the stomach/hips and a little tight in the chest area (34 C/D) however I got so many compliments on the dress and it photographed well. The navy dress was sold out so I rented the plum and loved the color. I would def. rent it again.

I wore this dress for an outdoor, country wedding & it was perfect! The dress is so soft and comfortable- I loved it. My only issue was that the lining didn't quite cover the top of my bra & I wish I would have known ahead of time. A black bra is a must for busty girls in this dress.

I wore this dress to go out to dinner at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. I was a little nervous I would be overdressed for the occasion, but the dress was really comfortable and allowed me to feel very laid back while wearing it. The dress is so unique and intricate, it's really simple to wear: throw your hair up, put on a pair of simple heels and minimal jewelry and you'll look fabulous! (I even wore it with a worn-in denim jacket and that was a great pairing.) My only complaints were that the dress was very long, but I have really short legs. This is a great dress for people who aren't fussy but still want to look and feel great.

I felt amazing wearing this dress! I ordered size 4 and 6, but didn't even try the 4 on because the 6 fit so well. The dress fell well, to about mid-thigh and was amazingly comfortable, I did not want to take it off at the end of the day! The slip does peek out after walking awhile, but nothing too noticeable. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Will rent - forever - now! :) I'm 5'4" and the dress hit perfectly at my knees!

I got so many compliments on this dress. I have a hard time finding dresses that fit due to my curvy figure. I usually wear a 0-2 top, and a 6 pants, so I find myself always purchasing a dress a size larger and then getting it tailored at the top. Let me tell you, this size 2 fit amazing, and despite my curvy hips fit! It was perfect!

I *loved* wearing this dress!! I rented it for my graduation party and it was perfect for the casual, fun atmosphere at the event. The fit was figure flattering, but not too tight, the plum color was beautiful, and the fabric was lightweight and comfortable. I received compliments on the dress all night... the only bad thing about the experience was returning this dress!!

I rented this dress for a wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. It was perfect for the occasion. This was the first time I used renttherunway.com. I was skeptical, but now I can't wait to get another dress. The lace on the dress was so soft...it's almost raised. I thought the fit was perfect. I did get a 2nd size just in case, but the 6 was great.

Originally I wanted a white lace dress for my shower, but I fell in love once I saw the plum and the bib detail. The volume of compliments I received in this dress makes it worth renting.

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

This dress was fabulous; subtly sexy and very unique. I wore it for my bridal shower and it was a hit. It was light, comfortable and the color is to die for. At first I was worried that it was a little longer than what I wanted (I checked "runs large", but it was more the length that concerned me), but once I was in heels it was fine. Also, I had an issue with one of the two sizes I was sent, and RTR's customer service was excellent at taking care of it.

I wore this adorable dress to a friend's bridal shower, and it was a perfect dress for the occasion. I loved how soft the fabric was and the color was so unique! (I wore the dress to work the day before the shower, and all my coworkers couldn't believe how cute it was, and that I rented it!) I dressed the dress "down" a bit for the shower by pairing it with a pair of black leggings and pumps. As for the overall fit, I am a 36C cup size and the girls were a little too tight in the 8 (I do also have a wide rib cage). Thankfully I sized up for my back up size, and the 10 fit like a glove! The lace overlay was so soft, no scratchy stuff here and I normally have trouble with my upper arms being pitched by sleeves, but not with this dress. I would have loved to have kept this one to wear again!

This dress is super comfortable and cute! I ordered sizes 4 and 6 and the 4 ended up fitting better as the 6 was a bit baggy in the back. I have a square frame with broad shoulders and the slight give in the material made this dress fit perfectly while still allowing me to move around comfortably. Very happy with this rental and I would even rent it again for another occasion!

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress to my bridal shower. I received so many compliments on it, and I was sad when I had to return it. This was my first dress to rent from renttherunway. I will say that if you have a big bust, you might want to get the 2nd size as a larger one. I got a 6 and a 8; if the zipper had stopped a little lower on the back, i would have wore the 6, but it goes up towards the top of the back, so I had to wear the 8. But, I loved it! I will be renting again.

this dress was SO comfortable and had "Sass" because of the neat design details. People told me it was sexy- and I guess its because its sheer under the design- but, I didn't feel like I was spilling out- so it was nice to look "sexy" but not "scandalous" (because I have a large chest that is usually a problem)
