Easy, breezy, and efficient. This was my first RTR order and will definitely be back.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I had to size up because the chest area was a little tight and I wanted some wiggle room. Very comfortable, classy dress. Fits nicely and no need to worry about Spanx because, while the top is fitted, the skirt is a little billowy but not in an overly billowy way. Package arrived neat and organized and both dresses pressed and ready to go. I was highly impressed with my experience and will be recommending RTR to all of my friends.

I wore this dress to a nice dinner and Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas and it worked beautifully. I only ordered the one size because I got it as my second dress to another dress that didn't have my second size available. I am a 34D and the bust was a little snug but it still looked good. It makes your waist look tiny - very flattering and I loved the pockets. I wore with black tights and flats. You wont regret renting this dress!

It fit well and was very comfortable. The only problem I had was the hip section flaired out more than I expected so I didn't 100% love that part.

This dress ran very true to size- there was enough room for my ample bust, the bow waistband really made me look tiny, and the pockets were a great detail! I highly recommend this dress, and rent the runway, to friends!

I rented this dress for a holiday work party. Perfect because it is both stylish & classy.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I am normally wear a size 4 and the size 4 in this dress fit. There is not stretch in the fabric though, so I might have been more comfortable going a size up. I would recommend this dress for an occasion where you want to look stylish but do not want to push the limits, because this dress is also conservative and classy. I would also recommend ordering the size you normally wear and a size up, not a size down.

Beautiful, classic lace dress!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress was absolutely lovely for a formal Christmas party. The entire process of renting through RTR was painless and incredibly easy. I loved the comfort of this dress, the sweet pockets, and beautiful lace. I normally wear a size 2 or 4 in dresses, however they only had the 6 available and others mentioned it runs a little small so I took a chance. I actually found the size 6 to be just a touch too big, but it didn't take away from look of the dress and I was very comfortable all evening.

The fit was true to size, I am 5' 5" and 130lbs, and wore a size 6. I am a little short waisted, and have a slight belly which this dress skimmed over, but didn't hug. It as very comfortable. This was a very classy dress, and I enjoyed wearing it.

Overall fit: True to Size

The fit was exact to my body. I couldn't have gotten anymore compliments on how great the dress looked on me. Everyone couldn't get over that I just picked a dress and size and it fit me. The only con was that trying to get into a cab in NYC was a bit difficult on the skirt but nothing that was a big problem.

I loved the dress, especially because it had pockets. I wear petite sizes, and the dress fit perfectly. I also rented earrings and did the surprise accessory, which were bracelets. The only downside were the bracelets kept leaving glitter all over the place and were too big (I have really small wrists), so I couldn't wear them because I was afraid they would fall off. The earrings I loved, but were really heavy.

That was a backup dress! And I ordered it in size 8 instead of 6 just to play it safe...

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Very helpful if you want to hide that tummy - the lower part strategically drapes around unwanted spare tire. Pockets made my life so much easier! Since I ordered it a size bigger, had to add some volume on top. Earrings are great, but would have been better with an up-do. Oh well, next time...

This dress was perfect for my friend's wedding. It was really comfortable and very high quality. It did run a bit small--I usually wear a 4 but opted for the 6 to avoid having to wear spanks. Was sad to send it back!

It was a cute, elegant dress for a great price.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

This was a really cute dress that I really enjoyed. It was rather tight in the shoulder/arm area, so much so that I had to go up a size (although I probably could've went up two for the arms!) I loved that it had pockets. It was a very comfortable dress and everyone at the wedding loved it. I would definitely recommend it.

My date couldn't stop telling me how stunning I looked.

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress is really quite beautiful while not being over the top. it was great for an afternoon, late summer wedding, and the bow detail gave it a little fun flair. The top is a very pale pink, but I didn't feel like it washed me out which was a slight concern. I rented both the 0 and the 2 and I ended up wearing the 0. My only complaint was that the larger size was definitely too roomy on top for me, while the smaller size had much smaller armholes that kind of pinched and occasionally created "armrolls". Overall I loved the dress and it was perfect for dancing the day away in (as evident by the sweaty mess of a picture). So many compliments, and my boyfriend actually told me I should buy the dress he liked it so much.

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Everything about this dress was fabulous! I found that the size 12 fit my body better than the size 10. The only issue was my top half didn't fit the dress as well as I would have liked; but I threw on a push-up bra and it ended up working out great. I highly recommend this dress! Not only did it make me look beautiful, it made me FEEL beautiful! Don't hesitate, RENT THIS DRESS! :)

Loved this dress. I received so many compliments about how gorgeous it was, even from the bride. The only bummer is that it runs small. I normally wear a 10, and the 12 was even a bit snug I probably needed a 14, but thank goodness for the second size.

I rented this for a TV Awards banquet. It was very classy and cute! Loved the bow on the front..and the pockets! The dress received a lot of compliments! I usually wear a 2 or 4, depending on where I'm getting the dress from. The size 2 fit, but it was a little short (I'm 5'8"). I was much more comfortable in the 4! It seemed to be a little longer. The pockets on this dress are great!

I suggested this of my Maid of Honor for my bridal shower, so I would look great! Since it was a surprise, I picked the dress and she did all the work so it was sent to her. I got my usual size (0) and one larger (2) my MOH thought they would be too small but it fit perfectly! Everyone commented on the pockets and I got so many compliments. Wish I could afford the dress and keep it. I'm renting again for my bachelorette party too!

The whole process was super easy and such a brilliant idea! Received quite a few compliments on the dress and being that I had just had a baby 10 weeks ago, I was super happy to hear them!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Loved the style of the dress. I'm usually a 4, but I just had a baby so I ordered a 4 and a 6 and ended up wearing the 4 because the 6 was too large in the hips and looked like a balloon. I have a larger bust and the 4 was definitely tighter in the bust, but I preferred the way it looked elsewhere. Overall, it was a gorgeous dress and an great 1st experience with RTR!

I wore this dress for a work event. It was comfortable and pretty, but also conservative. I usually wear a 0, but the arm holes were sooo small on this dress, that I had to wear my backup size 2 (thank goodness for the backup dress!). This was perfect for my work event, as I was planning, organizing, and hosting the party. This dress was easy and professional, yet still beautiful.

I rented this dress for a formal business function and it was just perfect! I'm a 2 on top and a 4 on bottom so I rented both sizes. The 4 fit perfectly everywhere which means it runs a little small in the torso. The fit was very flattering and I received lots of compliments from my coworkers. Loved the pockets!

This was a great experience from the moment I paid for my rental to the moment I dropped the dress off at the USPS box. I was shocked that not only did RTR send an already addressed return envelop, but they also gave me double sided sticky tape in case of a wardrobe malfunction and a beautiful garment bag to keep! This won't be the last time I rent from RTR.

I loved this dress so much that I didn't want to return it. The fit was absolutely perfect. A bonus feature that I didn't realize- pockets! The dress has two pockets and you would have never guessed it by looking at it. I received so many compliments on this dress this past weekend. This was my first experience using Rent the Runway, but it won't be my last.

Shoshanna dresses typically fit true to size. I'm very narrow on top despite a larger chest and wider in my hips and bottom. This dress was perfect. I orderd sizes 2 and 4 and the 4 was just a little too roomy on me. classy and elegant for a black tie wedding!

I think Shoshanna runs pretty true to size. This was a backup dress that I ordered, but since my size wasn't available, I ordered a size up. If I really had to, I could have worn it, but would have much rather have had my true size. Also, the cut felt a little too conservative for me and the length was a little long. The material was nice though and the bow on the front and pockets for a nice touch.

Very well made. Both the 10 and 12 fit, but the arm holes in the 10 were tight so I went with the 12. The body was a bit loose,but it was for an office christmas party. Conserbative and classy dress. Very appropriate. AND I havent even worn it yet. Just so pleased I had to post!

This dress really works for an evening event - semi-formal to formal - and pairs well with a cardigan or jacket. I wore it with black tights and heels for an outdoor wedding on a chilly day in October and it was perfect!
