Amazing Dress

I love this dress. I wore it for a party, and it fit really well and was very comfortable. It's a little on the short side, but still a good length.

Having a fabulous dress for my 10-year-anniversary party.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this dress. It was light, easy to wear and modern. It's a complicated material without being a difficult dress. It's sort of a stiffer, light netting, so the dress really flares. It was by far my favorite dress to wear, and the only one in which I wanted to purchase it after wearing it. I did not wear a bra, obviously, the back was sheer and you can actually get away with it when you have the small B-cups I have. Other women may opt for the chicken cutlets that can stick to you.

The back is so scandalous...I got so many complements throughout my dinner/date night. I styled with a thin black belt to show my waist line, but besides that very comfy and easy to wear! :)

Beautiful dress! I got so many compliments and gloated all night that it was rented! I love RTR!!

This was my first experience with RTR and I would definitely use the service again! The dress fit perfectly. The color is amazing and the length was perfect. I paired it with the Diane von Furstenburg Gold Tonda Metallic Clutch and I let the stylists pick out my accessory for the evening. They chose the Kenneth Jay Lane Polished Cyrstal Drop Earrings and it matched perfectly!

I loved it! It was perfect for my homecoming and it stood out among the rest of the dresses!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

It fit perfectly at the waist (size 4) and it flowed out nicely over my hips. The color was super flattering and the sheer back was hot. The only thing was that you need to wear a stick on bra, which I wouldn't recommend for bigger chested girls. Overall, I loved it!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this for a friends wedding where I was making my first night out debut as a new mom! The color was brighter than the pictures and it really stood out in person . I wore tan shoes to make my legs go for days. The fit was perfect. There is no complaints. I will certainly rent again from RTR.

Very sexy, flattering dress! Loved it, felt very feminine and flirty!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The dress is purple. Be warned! I thought that this adorable Sachin & Bibi dress was navy blue when I rented it. Luckily, I look good in darker jewel tones, so it worked. The dress fit my chest and was not too long for my petite frame. I wore it to a wedding with an RTR stylist and she said that it looked and fit "Great!". The back zipper bunched up if you did not keep pulling it down, but that did not bother me. I actually wore a beautiful black bra with a bandeau over it, so that I could take off my cardigan at the wedding. It was a huge success, everybody loved it!

Beautiful - but probably better on longer torsos!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for Halloween weekend. I wasn't sure what I was going to be, but I just wanted a cute dress to wear out! I think the dress is better suited to those without short torsos like me - the zipper wouldn't lay flat on the size 0 for me because the smallest part of the cut was hitting me at the widest part of my ribcage instead of lower on the waist, but the dress fit right everywhere else. I ended up wearing the 2 as the extra room helped the zipper to lay more flat. Although the back is open, the dress itself is not too revealing (was about knee length on me), so I think it would be appropriate for weddings or more formal affairs.

I felt fab for the Rent the Runway party!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I wanted to find the perfect dress to wear to the party, especially important since it was a party FOR Rent the Runway! I wasn't sure how crazy I would be about this dress, but I ended up loving it! I got a lot of compliments and all my friends at the office think I need to rent it again! I am usuall a size 4, but from reviews I ordered a size up. The dress fit perfectly and was actually very comfortable, not too tight or loose. I paired the dress with a leather jacket which gave it a little edge. The only thing about this dress, which you can see in one of my pics, is that the zipper bubbles down. I don't think it by any means makes the dress less desirable, but if you are meticulous about those things, it is good to know. All in all, loved the dress and had a great time in it!

Such a classy dress. The detail on this dress is fabulous. I felt wonderful in it!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The 4 fit me perfect. It just so happened that I received this dress as a last minute pick due to my other red dress that I ordered wasn't available in one of the sizes -- so i chose this one last minute as the 2nd dress to be sent as another possible option. LOVED IT. I wore it with black high heels and of course no bra due to the backing being open mesh. It was fine without a bra. I highly recommend this classy dress. Thanks RTR for being so on it!

Adorable dress for my sister's birthday party!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I really liked this dress a lot. It was super comfortable and fit very well. The only con was that the zipper in the back bunched up and did not lay flat on my back at all but it was still a very cute dress. I added a black belt at my waist to block up at one-colored look for the front and it worked really well.

SO, I didn't even choose to rent this one. I had received 2 poor quality dresses and returned them immediately. Lindsay, a service rep at RTR helped me and chose this for me!!! It was amzing for me! I am very straight and narrow and it fit me great! I felt amazing in it. Thank you RTR and Lindsay for your amazing costumer service and assistance in ensuring that I looked amazing for my event! You have found a long term client in me!!!!

I was able to try this dress on but I didn't actually wear it. I am excited to rent it for an upcoming event. I thought it was really cute. It fit perfectly on the top and flared out nicely over my hips. I think it runs small because I am usually a 6 on top (8 on bottom) and the 8 fit. I felt really cute in it even though it doesn't do much for my small chest. It still is flattering overall!

Disappointed, but great service!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

It seems the universe didn't want me to have this dress, and when I got it I was a bit disappointed (so I know why!). First, they didn't have my backup size, and since the dress doesn't have stretch I had to get a backup size in a different dress. On the model it looks really cute and has just the right amount of sexy without throwing it in your face. Unfortunately when I got the dress, there were several holes in the mesh of the back (including one really big one you can't ignore). I tried it on anyway, to see how noticeable the holes were and to see how the fit was, and in addition to the holes being super obvious, the zipper rippled a lot and looked really awkward. This is NOT a dress for those of us with a short torso. THAT SAID - my experience with Rent the Runway was still fabulous. They stylists were proactive in making sure I got a backup dress when my backup size wasn't available, and they sent me a new dress overnight which was amazing. The stylist patiently sat on the phone with me while I (freaking out) tried to figure out which new dress to get. I will continue to use RTR as long as I can!

Pretty, but ill-fitting

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

From the front, this dress looks great. But from the back, there are serious problems with the zipper. It buckles up and is a lumpy line against your back, instead of lying flat. I wore this for my 30th birthday party and wish this didn't have such a serious design flaw. A size 2 was loose on me, and I am on the large size of a 2; be sure to order down if you get this.

Cute dress, but bigger than expected.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

The dress was definitely cute and the back was very sexy. I was able to dance all night and it was very comfortable. However, it didn't hang quite right. I usually wear a size 2-4, rented a size 2, and it was still too big. The waist puffed out a little high, so it made me look like I had a pooch and the skirt was longer than it looks on the model. Overall, it was fine, but I didn't look as sexy as I would have liked to.

Awesome dress and fun night

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I got tons of compliments on this dress during the event and even the day after! It was demure enough for a formal work cocktail party from the front but the back was fun and unique. The fit was flattering and awesome. The only issue is that both the size 4 and 6 had small tears on the mesh back when they arrived from RTR. Customer service was great. I will be doing RTR again soon!

Wore this for a friend's holiday party and it was a show stopper!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

The fit was true to size and the color was a beautiful vibrant purple. The open back was so fun but I will echo what other reviewers have said before - the zipper does not lie flat once you get the dress on. I liked the fullness of the skirt - made this a perfect party dress.

I rented this for a night out in NYC (our vacation from Denver) with friends. It was flirty, fun, not too dressy and a great color for fall. It was a flattering fit and I loved the sheer back and tier stye skirt. I'd recommend it :) It's easy to wear black shoes/accessorize with it, too.

I did not end up wearing this dress.

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I didn't end up wearing this dress - I wore my backup dress. This dress was super cute but for someone 5'11, looking to wear the dress to a wedding it was WAY too short, like barely covered up the backside. I agree with what someone said previously - the zipper never really laid right and the extra straps for hanging the dress kept sliding to a visible spot through the mesh.

Amazingly comfortable dress!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress approximately 3 days before the wedding event, and as a first time renter, I was highly impressed with the responsiveness of the Runway team. The dress arrived with the alternate option, and the first size fit me perfect. It was extremely comfortable and easy to have a good time in. I also enjoyed the skirt style at the bottom, for a pear shaped figure like myself, this style was very helpful in making me look slimmer than i actually i am. =). So i loved it!!! I didnt give 5 stars due to one pitfall- which was the string that usually comes on clothes in order to hang them- that part was kind of annoying because it kept on coming out through the back (which as you can note is see through)..other than that everything else was fine.

feeling the flow of the beautiful skirt on the dress. the dress really lent itself well

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I felt that this dress had a REAL problematic design issue with the zipper. The zipper didn't lie flat on my back and it wasn't because it was too small. I actually fit into the 2 and that zipper was even worse. I would be really careful with this dress.
