Pretty dress, but wasnt for me and I did not end up wearing it. I'm tall and dont mind wearing a shorter dress, but this was really really short. Was very "poofy" in the bottom half and I didnt find it to be flatering. Also, when I would walk the material stuck between my cheeks.....would have been picking it out all night long.

Perfect for spring wedding

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Overall, I loved this dress and received a ton of compliments when I wore to a Spring wedding, but the fit was a little tight. It doesn't sit naturally at the waist, instead a little above, so if you are debating between sizes, I suggest ordering up. Also worth mentioning, the dress isn't lined on the bottom-in case you are thinking about ordering for fall.

It was so comfortable and everyone loved it! I wish I actually owned this to wear all the time!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

It did fit a little tight around the ribs, but the size 2 was way too big on the top. I decided to wear the 0 and it ended up being very comfortable even though it was a little tight. I am usually not comfortable wearing a dress with a back as low as it was, but it ended up being fine. It was a perfect dress to wear for my friend's Sweet 16 court. Everyone there told me they loved it.

It's really flattering, and the back is the best part. You can't wear a real bra with it though so make sure that isn't an issue before you rent it!

Beautiful.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was beautiful, fit very well, and was not see through - runs true to size. You definitely need to have fashion tape available for it though, the side with no shoulder strap needs something to keep it from moving and the small buttons holding the straps in the back kept falling out of their pockets but again - all easily remedied with the fashion tape.

The dress was a little tight around the ribs and loose in the boob area. Double sided tape easily fixed that!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

The fit is definitely a bit on the large size, especially the top. The strapless side falls very low on your chest. Other than that, the dress was very comfortable and moved well. Great length and color.

Amazing

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

The dress is truly lovely. The only downside was that the top part was too large- definitely made for someone with a larger bust. I had to sew the straps shorter and use fashion tape to make it fit right. The waist fit perfectly, and it was the perfect length. The only other downside was that it was so low cut I couldn't wear a bra with it.

I wore this dress to NYE last year and got so many compliments!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I rented a 10 and a 12 because I'm often between the sizes, but the 10 fit perfectly. I needed fashion tape to hold up the back and the side, and it goes too low in the back to wear a bra with it so it may not be good for very busty women. I'm a C and didn't have a problem. I'm 5'1 and the dress went down to just above my knees, which is exactly where I wanted it to be. All in all, a great dress! I'd definitely rent it again.

I normally wear a size 2, but because of the cut, the 4 was much more comfortable. The color is a rich burgundy and would look great on all skin tones--perfect for the fall!

Rented for: Date

I rented this for a 6 month anniversary with my boyfriend, just a nice dinner and then cocktails after. The dress does fit snug in the waist so I selected my larger size, but with a little double-sided tape on the strapless side looked great all night. This was my first rent the runway experience and will now certainly not be my last

This dress is amazing, you must wear it to your next event! Everyone was asking me where I got it! The back goes really low, and the dress fits great. The only issue I had was that I was a little bit between a 2 and a 4 and the 4 was way too big and 2 a little tight, but the 2 ended up working just fine.

I was asked to wear a purple dress to do the guest book at my friend's wedding. This one worked out perfectly. The back is georgeous. However, the dress was short on me, and I am not very tall (5'1''). Also, the side boob tends to show a bit becuase it cuts low in the back.

The photos do not do this justice. Gorgeous color and material. Very flattering for a petite girl with a bit of a bust. Can see how this might fit funny and maybe even show more than you would like if your bust is small. I LOVED THIS DRESS

The customer service was, as always, excellent!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I went a size down, as I often do with dresses that are more flowy through the hips. Beautiful color, especially the grey accents. Interesting back as well. I got many compliments- the only problem is that the dress is short!! I know that I'm tall, but it was barely wearable with heels, I had to be cautious all night.

A beautiful dress! The only problem with it was the side without the shoulder came very low-- like cut across the breast, low. Because of this and the low back, it is very difficult to wear any kind of bra or support. If you can figure that problem out, its gorgeous!

Cute party dress

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

Fun dress for a party, night out, bachelorette, etc. The color is great, not too bright, but a nice change from a typical black. One thing to consider is that the area just below your bra area (upper rib cage) fits a little tight. The next size up was a better fit in that same area, but a little too large everywhere else. You may want to reconsider this option if you have a bigger boobs or you are planning to eat a big dinner in this dress.

I did not end up wearing this dress. Firs tof all it says the dress is burgundy, but the dress is most definitley purple not burgundy. The color in the pic is not the same color as the actual dress. Also the dress is a summer dress for sure, not good for any parties in the winter.

I was a little bit too short for the back so I had to use safety pins to make the straps smaller instead of using the buttons, but other than that I loved everything about it!

Great dress

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was great. I loved the low/open back because it's a unique style. I am listing myself as "petite" body type, but I would also consider myself a pear. I'm much smaller on top than on bottom, and this dress was definitely loose on the top. I wore a strapless, backless (stick on) bra and used fashion tape on the side without the strap. I didn't fill out the top without the stick on bra, but was able to make it work with the fashion tape. I thought the length was fine, not too short. Overall it was very flattering and I got a number of complements.

Beautiful but tricky fit

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress in both my usual size (6) and one size up (8) after reading reviews regarding the issue with tightness around ribs. If you consider yourself to have broad shoulders/larger ribcage AT ALL, do not rent this dress. The 6 wouldn't come close to zipping at the top, though the fit was right everywhere else. The 8 zipped, but the top was soo loose, it was drooping below my bust. I was so disappointed, because the dress is STUNNING. Beautiful material, GORGEOUS color- the pictures cannot do it justice! Personally, I did not find it to be too short. I just couldn't get it to zip with my large ribcage! However, if you are straight through your upper half, (even if you are busty), do try! It is a lovely dress, just not made for us hourglass gals.
