Looked fantastic, but only while stationary.
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
The stretchy fit was great for my curvy hourglass figure. I was somewhere between 135-140 lbs at the time and the 8R felt too baggy around the waist. The 6R fit perfectly across B-W-H, but even with 6" heels, this dress was just way too long for someone 5'2". (For reference though, I do not have shoes on in this photo.) I ended up pulling the skirt part up into the waist several inches (tucked under all the runching) in order to dance. That was almost as irritating as the shawl part around the shoulders - I had to keep pulling that part down, and eventually gave up and put it underneath my arms to wear the dress like it was entirely sleeve-less. Not quite the look I was going for. But all of that aside, I did get tons of compliments on it.

As a plus size gal, I'm always apprehensive to order things online (Also, please apologize the photos, they don't do the dress justice). This dress surpassed my expectations. I didn't want to take it off! Can't wait to order from RTR again. Thanks for making me feel beautiful.

The dress was great, I got constant compliments.
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Everyone loved this dress. The cons would be that there was something wrong with the bodice...the top of the dress was supposed to be pinned down somehow (I am not a seamstress) over the boobs for a fitted ruched look but it has come loose on one side. You couldn't really tell but I noticed when I put it on. It also slipped down frequently. But it was really comfortable and gorgeous and I got a million compliments. It is a little more blue than it looks in the picture but the color is lovely. It did a great job of emphasizing my waist. If you're tall like me I recommend getting the long!

A smashing success!
Size worn: 14L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was fantastic! The dress fit well, though it was a touch long. The ruching made it easy to just pull it up a smidge and everything worked from there. I love the stretch in the fabric - I was comfortable all night. I agree with some of the other reviews that the "sleeves" don't like to stay put, but apparently have no idea how to use fashion tape, because none of the three configurations I tried worked. Also, I needed 3 hands to get it zipped, due to the stretchy fabric! The process at RTR was amazing! I can't wait until I need another dress!!

Beautiful ballgown!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I received many compliments on this dress, both at the event itself and after showing pictures to others. I loved the dark navy color of the dress, the ruching throughout the body, and the off-the-shoulder sleeves. The sleeves will immediately ride back up if you don't use fashion tape - I used three strips on each arm. I ordered this dress in a 4R with a 2R for my backup size, per the instructions of one of the RTR fit specialists. I typically wear between a 4 and a 6 and was told to order the 2R as my backup size because the dress tends to be a little large. The 4R fit just about perfectly - it was a little tricky to zip up and it felt tight around the chest/back but it was comfortable everywhere else. The 2R was definitely too small in the chest/back and couldn't be zipped up. However, I would guess that the 6R would have been comfortable in the chest/back but too big everywhere else. I'm 5'6" and wore 1.5 inch heels, which is why I ordered the regular and not the long. The dress just showed my toes so the long probably would have been too long without wearing higher heels. Overall, I'm very pleased with this dress!

Pretty dress, fit well!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was my first RTR experience, and overall, I was very pleased. The dresses arrived when requested, and the return shipping was easy. The length on this dress was perfect with a 3 1/2" heel. Size fit perfectly. The dress was very clingy (in front and back) until mid-thigh, which made me feel a bit like a mermaid, but it worked with a curvy shape and was fun for a rental. The only negative comment is that the dress had been repaired (poorly), which surprised me. It was a dark dress, so I decided to roll with it, but it diminished the experience a smidge.

The fit is true to size. The dress is beautiful and is very forgiving if you are trying to hide a few extra pounds... the only con is that the shoulder section needs to be pinned to the dress after you put it on or it will ride up and end up around your neck. My daughter-in-law wore this to a formal and ended up just tucking that part under her arms so the dress looked more like a strapless gown.

The fit of the dress was true to fit but a little on the small side. I used the fashion tape included to hold down the shoulder drape piece. This dress was very flattering!

Big THANK YOU to Glamour Magazine for mentioning this website! What a fun and easy way to shop!
Size worn: 12L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
The party was a 1920's themed event held on the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier. The Theia Navy Taffeta Ruched Gown was perfect due to the drop waist styling and classic lines. The material has some stretch so it is very comfortable and very flattering. The only con would be the piece that loops around the back is only held together with 2 small round velcro pieces and they constantly detached from the back of the dress. An easy fix would be to add a couple of hook n' eyes. I wore a faux fur wrap the entire night because it was very cold so nobody noticed anyway :). I got numerous compliments on the dress. I also rented the Crystal Cluster Necklace and the Silver Glitz Bangle Set to complete my 1920's glam look.

Gorgeous, flattering and perfect for any formal affair!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I looove this dress. It is so flattering in everyway. I wore a size 8R, it was alittle snug in the boob area but I'm have 34DDs - so I'm not proportionate. To fix the complains about the shoulder part riding up, I stuck fashion tape everywhere! It worked - the shoulder stayed with about 6 pieces of fashion tape. It is so forgiving and comfortable. I got TONS of compliments all night long. My husband tells me I should buy this dress - I may just take him up on it. Awesome dress and would definitely rent again. I'm usually a large 6 or small 8, but with my large chest decided the 8 would work better and it did.

Classic look!
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress had a great fit because of its stretch. I can see how it would be comfortable for all body types and the rushing was very flattering. I usually wear a 10/12 and the 10 fit great, so it might run a little large. The only downside to this dress was the arms. I really love the off the shoulder look because it can be very flattering, but I couldn't lift up my arms! Dancing was tough! (Double stick fashion tape helped a little.) But I still think it was worth it to wear the dress. Also, I am just about 5'1" and the dress was very long for me.

I felt sexy but appropriate at a formal Mardi Gras Ball.
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I originally ordered 2 other dresses for the event, neither of which fit. I had followed the advice of other reviewers, but even ordering the Long in one of the dresses didn't make it long enough (I'm only 5'6). This dress wasn't even on my radar, but when I called RTR to have them send me one of my original dresses in another size, I decided to include this one as well. I am SO glad I did! I loved this dress from the second I put it on. The other reviewers are right-- you should size down for your backup size because the stretchy fabric kind of sucks you in. It creates a very flattering silhouette, especially for women with curves like me! Although I was there for my sorority Little sis's Mardi Gras Ball, she was the one that kept paying me compliments all night!

I rented this dress for a formal event in NYC. Overall I was not very happy with the dress because it had too much material and made me look frumpy. I admit I was at my fattest at this time, but I assumed a dress like this would be forgiving on my rolls LOL. Also, the sleeves kept moving up and I caught myself readjusting the top constantly.

The dress has stretch so you should have no problem dancing the night away or eating that extra piece of chicken. The only problem I had with this dress was the sleeves. The sleeves are stretchy. I couldn't lift my arms up without it rising up and looking like a necklace.

I loved the dress. I wore it for a hospital gala and everyone loved it. I am looking for a mother of the groom dress and I can not find anything in the dept. stores that even come close to the quality. I will probably rent this dress again for the wedding. It is gathered in just the right places so it hides any bumps.

Looked small out of the box but definitely true to size. The long was too long even with three inch heels. If I had gotten the 4R as my back-up size I might have chosen that instead. The arm wrap definitely rides up a lot, but it's a beautiful dress.

She looked so regal! Mom is petite but has curves! She's 5'4, approx 125 lbs., is a 34 DDD and wears a size 6. I would say this dress fits true to size.

Dress is beautiful - VERY flattering. I'm curvy (waist size 2 and hips size 6-8) and this dress was amazing. Fits beautifully, has lots of give, a gorgeous navy color. My first RTR experience and I couldn't be happier. Ladies, do know that the piece that fits off the shoulder tends to slip upward, so pull it low down on your arms.

Size worn: None

The dress definitely runs big so for your second size definitely size down and on top of that there is a lot of stretch in the fabric so don't be worried about getting a smaller size. The length runs pretty true, I'm only 5'3 but with higher heels I would have been okay with the length of the regular length. The off-the-shoulder part isn't attached to anything so it is impossible to keep across your arms even for a second to put it, I think that part runs especially big. The fabric itself makes crinkle noises and personally, I don't think the fabric is very pleasing to the eye. The draping across the tummy is very good for those looking to conceal a large midsection though. I think this dress is best suited for girls with long torsos.

Perfect for hourglass body shape cause it shows off your waist instead of other dresses being perfect size in the bust but to big anywhere else, this type of dress is perfect if you dont have the normal body type and dimensions. This type of dress would fit any body type but especially perfect for hourglass, i got a lot of compliments so i loved the experience, i will be renting from here again soon

Beautiful dress.
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Pros: Fit well, great at drawing attention to your overall figure (curvy/hourglass) and away from figure flaws (un-toned stomach & arms). Received a few compliments from strangers when I wore it to fiancee's 100-year anniversary gala for work. One caveat: Sleeve thingy does ride up so not sure if this would be a great dress for dancing. Felt like dress needed constant adjustment after I moved my arms much because shoulder shawl was loose (I have a small bone structure). This maybe could have been remedied by a size smaller dress. I think I could have also fit into a 4R but they were out of 4R.

The dress runs a little small, order both your size and a size up just in case. The off the shoulder bit doesn't attach anywhere so you have to adjust it every once in awhile, but it wasn't too bad. The dress looks expensive, and it was very flattering on my body type. The color is also great on fair skin (no need to tan before prom!) All in all, loved it, and RTR service in general.

I wore this for my boyfriend's office Christmas party and it was the perfect choice -- just the right amount of classy/sexy to both turn heads and not raise eyebrows (I sat next to a partner at his firm during dinner! Good choice!) A couple of issues: I needed to push the dress down every once in a while, particularly during dancing -- the long fitted part tends to ride up. Also, raising your hands over your head is downright impossible without lifting up the shoulder part in an awkard way, and you'll have to readjust it if you want to, say, raise your hand, or throw them into the air like you just don't care.

Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress ran true to size, and was very stretchy and comfortable. The arm band thing is a little impractile, as I couldn't raise my arms or wear a coat during the evening.

Very Good Dress for Large Girl
Size worn: 14L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am not a small girl...in fact, I am 5' 7 1/2" and I weigh 180 lbs. This dress fit great and looked great. It was also very comfortable. I was able to wear it with 3" heels and then later I took off the heels and wore flats and it worked for those also. Just a great overall dress. The only drawback that I would mention is the sleeves. This part of the dress is only attached at the front and slips over your head and then it keeps slipping up your arms when you move. I wore fashion tape on my back and my arms and that helped it somewhat. I also had my husband pull it down into place quite a few times during the evening.

Military Ball
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this to an Army Military Ball. Dress fit great, got tons of compliments! Was told I looked Old Hollywood Glamor. I usually wear size 8 to 10. 8 fit well because it does have some stretch to it.

Great Dress!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I love, love, love this dress and was sad to send it back. It fits beautifully, is incredibly flattering and was really comfortable. I received so many complements. I had ordered it in a 4 and 6, and both looked and fit great but the length on the 4 was better so I went with that one, it skimmed the floor with 4" heels. I wish I could keep it!

OSCARS

I rented this gown for the Scientific and Technical awards show Feb. 11th. The fit was terrific, one of the backup gowns had a small break in the side seam, so I couldn't wear it. Unfortunate. A very comfy gown overall - but it's difficult to keep the wrap down over the arms - it tends to slip up constantly. The stretch fabric is fantastic though - and VERY comfortable. I'd definitely consider renting this one again.

Just Fabulous!

This dress fits like a second skin, so comfortable and so flattering! I LOVE this dress and it took everything in me to return it. Honestly, can I buy this dress?? I felt like a million bucks and the compliments kept coming all night long. What a dress to bring in the New Year!! Rent the Runway is just brilliant and so user friendly.

Fabulous
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
This dress is amazing and I believe would flatter any body type due to the stretchy/ruched taffeta. I received more than a dozen compliments from strangers who stopped me as I was walking by to tell me how beautiful the dress was and one wedding guest told me it looked "Old Hollywood"! I would recommend ordering your regular size and one down for backup because the fabric is quite stretchy and then you can decide which dress is more flattering for your body type.
