The service was great! Amazing dress for a wedding. It was light and flattering. I ordered the 6 and the 8, I didn't even try on the 8 because the 6 fit perfectly, if not a little bit big. I can't wait to use Rent the Runway again!

This classic LBD is great to accessorize with!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this to the senior prom as a member of prom committee. It was really easy to fit and didn't move on my body much, which was great considering I was running around all night helping with problems at the prom. The waist and top half are fitted, but the bottom is very loose and it flows........I would recommend wearing Spanx with these just in case the bottom flies up. It's also shorter than I thought it would be. It wasn't a problem, but this is a great dress for shorter girls! Overall, I got many compliments on how it fitted so well and would definitely rent this again!

I'm usually a 6, but I ordered the 4, based on other reviews that it ran a bit large - and it fit perfectly. I wore it to my law school formal and got a ton of compliments. It was a great dress for a formal event with a lot of dancing. I would definitely recommend it!

Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I ordered an 8 and a 10, and even the 8 felt a little big. However, it was still easy to wear and very comfortable! I loved the double sided tape they sent too! It is loose and flowy on the bottom so it felt short to me because I couldn't feel the fabric touching my legs but it wasn't actually too short. It was great with heels and flats both and super cute/flattering! :)

Dresses are usually a little long for me, but this dress fit me perfectly in a size 0 (my usual size). It was very flattering and classic. I wore it to a more semi-formal event, but you can definitely dress it down or up. Overall, a great dress that you would not regret renting!

Was a little large, but who can be mad about wearing a smaller size? The boning in the dress made me appear thinner. The only flaw is that I had to pull it up occasionally.

This dress was PERFECT for a big party. I loved the flowy skirt, it made dancing an awesome time!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
This dress fit really well and was perfect for the sweet sixteen that I wore it to. It was fitted at the top (but super comfortable because theres a little bit of stretch around the bodice), and was super flowy on the bottom. It was such a fun dress to dance in. I suggest ordering your second size one size down. I am usually in between a 4 and a 6, but this dress was even a little loose in the size 4. I was very happy with the dress overall! It was flattering, comfortable, and I didn't feel like I had to pull it up every 5 seconds!

Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was great! I wore it for my sorority formal, and I got a ton of compliments on it. The fit was fairly true to size. I go between a 0 and a 4, depending on the brand, and for this dress I ordered the 2 and the 4. The 4 was way too big and the 2 fit pretty well, but I think a 0 might have been better. So I'd say when in doubt, go down!

I absolutely loved this dress! I rented it to go out for my birthday and it was great for the occasion. I considered buying it after but the price swayed me from that decision. It fit me perfectly and was just the right length, which is usually difficult given my height. I loved the fit of the bodice, and the full skirt was very flattering and fun. My friend liked it so much that she wore my backup size to dinner the next night. I would definitely recommend this dress! Probably my best rental from RTR so far!

The dress was very flattering, it had a fitted bodice and a flowy skirt that was really fun to dance in! The dress was very simple, so I added some accessories. I wish I had gotten more of a statement necklace to spice it up. The material was okay, not exactly what I was expecting, but all in all it was a great dress for dancing and having fun!

This dress fit really well and was the perfect LBD! It was a bit shorter than I had anticipated, but I was overall very happy with the look and fit of this dress. It was flirty and fun for a night in Vegas without detracting from the birthday girl's glittered dress! Would recommend for a date night or semi-formal.

Dress fit true to size from what I could tell. The sides had stretch panelling for extra "give" if needed. Throughout my night there wasn't a moment of discomfort! The full skirt makes such a statement and shows off just enough leg to keep it flirty. There was nothing I disliked about this dress!

I loved this dress. It was super slimming and a cute casual dress to wear out with your friends to the bar or just to a fun affair. I would advise if you are a little busty to get the size up, but otherwise the dress was fabulous!

Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
This was my backup dress, but it was absolutely adorable. I wore it to my birthday party and received tons of compliments. It was on the short side, but because the dress was flouncy and playful, it was far from skimpy or revealing. The dress had a nice elasticity to it, so it was never falling down. The corset style waist sucked in any tummy problems, and the skirt didn't hit in the hips or butt at all. So, this dress really was flattering. I think it would be good for almost any body type. I love this dress and now want to go out and buy it!

Both of the dresses are from RTR. My daughter and her friend needed a black or red dress for a cocktail party in the city and they both looked amazing! My daughter normally wears a size 6 or 8 but fit perfectly in the size 4. Also, her friend loved the Catherine Malandrino, Sultry Body-Slimming Shift!

I really liked this dress. I am usually and 6 and wore the 6, but I think the 4 would have fit a little better because the top half is actually very stretchy. But it looks so cute and made me want to dance. I received many compliments! It can easily be worn dressed up or down.

I would order your normal size and the size down. It is a little loose on the bust but other than that I felt so pretty in it. I definitely think you should pair this dress with some statement accessories.

I never cease to be disappointed in the quality of items that they send out. Always impressed.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I recently rented this dress for the fall wedding of a close friend. I am around 5'6", average build, b cup, and usually wear a size 4 or 6 dress. I rented this dress because it looked adorable on the website and appeared to be a decent length. However, when I recieved the dresses, they were much shorter than I had anticipated. Also, because of the stretch on the back side of the dress, it tends to run a bit large, which made me thing that I could have gone for a smaller size so it would fit better in the bodice, but it would not have covered my booty at all. This dress is very flowy, moves very well and very pretty, however, the length left a little to be desired for me. I ended up wearing it with tights and a pair of boy-short shapewear shorts, which worked very well. I love the dress, very much, however, it just was not a good match for me, and I don't think I would end up renting it again.

Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress for my Junior prom, I ordered a size 2 and a size 4, the 2 ended up fitting my perfectly and coming up a couple inches above my knee. The bodice fit me nicely and I had no trouble with the dress slipping down while I danced. The skirt was so pretty and twirled when I walked, I paired it with nude heels and got so many compliments. Wear a statement necklace and/or earring as the dress by itself is a little plain.

Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
This is an adorable dress, and I tried it on in stores before deciding to rent for my event. That said, while rent the runway is a great deal, you are not renting a brand new dress off the hanger in a store. I wore the 0, which though still a great dress has definitely seen some wear. There were some snags in the skirt and the bodice was very stretched out from (obviously because it's so cute) being rented many times. Overall, a feminine dress appropriate for almost any event - go down a size if you're normally a two, and don't expect a brand new dress that's never been worn before.

This dress is gorgeous. It is flattering and the stretchy sides of the bodice make it a great fit. But I can't get past the length. It's entirely too short. I read other reviews, but thought I could pull it off with my legs. I was wrong. It's just inappropriate and is going back unworn. (Sigh.)

I wore this dress to a bachelorette party and it was perfect the occasion - fun, flirty and very comfortable for a night of partying. My only complaint is that it was very short. It was a chilly night, so I wore black tights with it any way... but if I didn't have the tights I probably wouldn't be comfortable wearing it out in public since it was so short.

i rented this as a sophomore to go to my school's junior prom, and as a lowerclassman i couldn't wear long or anything too flashy, but this dress was perfect! i'm pretty small so i ordered the 0 and the 2 and ended up wearing the 2, it fit like a glove! the length was perfect, not too long that it looked frumpy, but long enough that I could dance and not feel like i was exposed. you could tell that it had been worn a couple times but i got tons of compliments. I even had some of the moms at pre prom tell me i had the best look out of everyone!! thanks rtr!
