Gorgeous Color, Great Fit

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress was a gorgeous navy blue color, and a comfortable light material. I'm always a '2', and this dress fit everywhere except in the chest. I ended up having to go without a bra and lots and lots of fashion tape to make sure it stayed up! But I got so many compliments on the dress, especially the back! Would definitely recommend.

This dress is beautiful! The color was perfect for Kappa's Sapphire Ball.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I love the color of this dress, but it did not fit as well as I expected. I'm 5'9 and have a long torso, and the cut did not work for me. This dress would probably fit better on someone a little shorter. It fit awkwardly in the waist, hitting above my natural waistline. The strapless half didn't stay up very well, and I spent the whole night struggling to keep my strapless bra from showing.

Overall fit: True to Size

This dress is amazing! Some of the reviews said the waistline fits small, but I thought it fit right up to par, and I ended up choosing the smaller size because it meant I didn't need double stick tape. The material is beautiful, the fit is fantastic, and the back is stunning. Couldn't recommend it more! So sad to see it go!

Great Dress, Love the Back!!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I got a ton of complements on this dress, nobody could believe it was actually rented! I usually wear a size 0 and although I ended up wearing the 0 in this dress it really was a toss-up between the 0 & the 2. i chose to go with the 0 in spite of the almost too-tight waist because the 2 was just too big on the top. I also used fashion tape to stick the left side of the dress to my chest to make sure the dress stayed in place & it worked perfectly. Overall, great dress that I'd definitely recommend to a friend.

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Small

I loved this dress. The fit was a little snug around my waste, but my rib cage is a little wide for my size, so that may have been what caused the tightness. Otherwise, a great fit for someone who is smaller.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress on a trip to Vegas. Warning: the waist band is REALLY tight. I'm usually a 2 or a 4 and the 4 was really snug. That said, it looked sexy and amazing. It required a little bit of dress tape in the front, but that was no biggie. Loved the color and the fabric. i was sad to see it go.

Such an amazing dress, so flattering!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I would recommend this dress to anyone a thousand times over. My friend actually convinced me to rent this as a 2nd option for a wedding we were going to. I was skeptical and didnt think it was my style especially since the friend who recommended it has totally different taste then me. I loved this dress right when I put it on. It is so flattering. The back is beautiful, the length is perfect and appropriate (I'm 5'8, it was mid-thigh) I loved the deep blue color. It was so comfortable to wear to an outdoor south beach wedding. Everything about this dress is perfect. I will probably rent it again for another nice occasion I have to go to.

I wore this dress for an awards show in Vegas. Shows just enough skin, while still looking classy.

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Vacation

On my frame the shoulder straps were a bit loose, so I did have to pin them both. I typically go between a 0 or 2 in dresses, for this dress the 0 fit me better. The waist was a bit tight, but still breathable. I would recommend this dress to anyone who wants to show some skin, but maintain a sophisticated look.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I usually wear a size 4 or a 6 - but the waist band on this dress has no give to it and ran very small. I had to send the 4 and 6 back and order an 8 so that I could breathe. Other than that, I loved the dress and got lots of compliments on it. You will have to either go braless or wear one of those backless bras with the adhesive sides.

Beautiful Dress, Great fit!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I love the color of this dress, the fit was great and to my surprise it had pockets! I will say I did have to wear some fashion tape to keep from having a side boob accident. The material is thick enough to wear I felt comfortable going to bra-less. I am very petite (5'1) and I was still able to adjust the straps enough for it to fit my small frame. All in all it was good experience with Rent the Runway.

Fits true to size. There are buttons on the straps to make is adjustable but they are visible and slightly distracting. You can't wear a strapless bra with this dress but sticky bras work perfectly! I completely recommend this dress!

I loved this dress because it could have been dressed up or down. You could wear it with a cute pair of casual wedges, or to a date party or night out with a sleek pair of stilettos. It's navy, but looks black in the dark, so accessories were easy! Definitely a great dress, and my friends loved it!

Perfect for a wedding, first date or girls night out!

The dress just made me feel super comfortable and confident, which definitely showed!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

When I first got it I was a little apprehensive. The fabric wasn't what I thought, and the smaller size (8) fit, but not how I wanted it to. With a little tweaking, some fashion tape and safety pins, the 10 ended up working perfectly! The dress was really comfortable easy to move in. I couldn't wear heals with it though, it was way too short if I did (not that I mind, I can barely walk in them)! I'd been looking at this dress for a long time and I'm really glad I finally ordered it, it worked out great and was super easy to return, thanks RTR!

I wore this dress for my four year anniversary with my boyfriend this past weekend and I fell in love! This was my first rental from RTR and I couldn't have been more pleased. The dress fit true to size and I'm so happy they offer a secondary dress free of charge in a different size because that's the one I wore! The back is unique and easy to manage and the fabric was light and comfortable. Definitely perfect for a date or a less formal special event.

Wore it for NYE 2012. Dress fit as other reviewers described, tight around the torso and somewhat loose in the bust. The back straps rested loosely on my shoulder blades and back and was very sexy. Its very open and shows off that sexy side. Perfect length for me. I am 5'3" and it hit just past my finger tips with arms at the side. The cut in the front is very unique, not the standard one shoulder cut. Got asked a few times who I was wearing and got a ton of compliments from both men and women.

The ease of receiving and sending the dress

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

This dress was awesome!! I wore it for new years so I added a sparkly belt. It runs small because the waist band doesn't have any give. So if you are in between sizes then you will probably end up wearing the bigger one. It does end up being a short dress if you have long legs.

Overall fit: True to Size

I ordered the size 4 b/c my waist is 27". The size 4 waist band is exactly 27" in diameter. There was no stretch in the waist band so i got lucky. The dress is short, especially for those of us in our 30's...so I paired it with black stockings with the black stripe down the back of the leg. I got so many compliments on the dress! It's very flattering...just make sure you order the right size.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress is definitely perfect for an hourglass shape. Your bust and hips should be similar, and your waist needs to be very small in order to wear it. I ordered a 2 and 4, but the 2 was just waaaaay too snug. The 4 fit great, and I got a ton of compliments. If you're going to be outdoors- word of caution the material is flimsy and will blow up with any slight wind. I think I flashed an entire street whilst taking photos outdoors for a wedding party. Awesome.

Pretty Dress, Sizing is Hard

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I rented 3 dresses because it was my first time so I was unsure about how it would all work/fit. I rented this dress but ended up not picking it. It is a beautiful dress! The fit, on me was tricky though. The waist bad has zero give and hit me a little above my natural waist. I usually wear a size 4/6 in dresses but i had to move up to an 8 for this dress. I ran into trouble with the fit on my chest. I am 34C and it was loose. You cant wear a normal bra so I would have to wear the stick on bra and use fashion tape as well. However, the length is great as well as the fabric. Nice and light. If it fit better it would have been my first choice!

The back saves the dress

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I dont' think this dress photographs very well and I was a bit underwhelmed by it, but it was my only choice, so I made it work. The front of the dress is... meh. It does have pockets, which are pretty fun. The back of this dress saves it. The open back is flattering and makes this a much more interesting choice. A statement necklace is a must. As mentioned, the dress is quite unforgiving around the ribcage. The 2 was unavailable so I took a risk and ordered the 0, which I ended up wearing. It certainly did not leave much room for deep breaths and I have a small rib cage. If you have a wide ribcage, definitely order up a size.

I ended up not wearing this dress although it was very cute, the waist line around to the open back has no give whats so ever so every time you moved in it, everyone else could tell too. It just squeezed too much on that back line that I didnt feel comfortable enough to wear it all night.

I wore this for a New Year's eve party I hosted. I received so many compliments. I agree with the other review on that the dress has no give (good thing I ordered a size up!).

This dress was my original pick for New Years. However my first order from RTR got caught up in the snow storm so it did not get delivered on time. RTR send me a back up dress and my original dress in a size 4 which was too small around the bust. In real person the dress looks more for a summer party rather than a New Year Event. The fabric is very light and the back is amazing , it was just to small. If you are bigger up top I would recommend going up a size. Other than that it was a great dress !

Beautiful color and material!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Other

Unfortunately, I couldn't wear this dress for the reason I rented it, but I'm reviewing it for the benefit of others. The dress fit perfectly, except that the top was too big, and the back was too low to wear a bra. I don't have a tiny chest, but the top was too big and left gaps on either side so if I moved too much I would pop out. If I had the time to pin it, it would have been fine. However, this dress is really beautiful and could be worn for a lot of different events. It is a gorgeous deep blue color and even at 5' 2" it was about 3" above the knee. It is both chic and fashionable and was a real bummer that I couldn't wear it.
