Flattering dress for a bridal shower!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Fit great especially when I was worried about how my full bust would feel with the high neck. You can wear a regular bra with it and it wont be exposed with the dropped back. There was a little irritation at the front of the neck because of the high neckline but not bad. The dress had a lovely spring color and great texture and was great for a bridal shower.

I ordered this dress for a homecoming tailgate a few weeks ago. Since it was a bit chilly, I paired it with a black sweater (school colors are black and gold) and a pair of cowboy boots. The dress fit perfectly - I ordered both the 0 and 2 but ended up going with my usual size due to fit. I found that the dress was a little short as I couldn't really bend down at all. The fabric was different and added an interesting element to the dress. It was super comfortable and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again for warmer weather!

I was surprised at how short the dress was. I am 5'8 and it was hard for me to even remotely bend down in it! Also, the material is very thick, which I was not expecting. But, I actually loved it besides that! It's very classy and adorable.

There was a mix up unfortunately and had about 5 hours to pick out a new dress from RTR. Their stylist were on the phone with me helping me out (since I am style-challenged) and helped SO MUCH!

I put this dress on and fits like a GLOVE to my body! It was a daytime wedding and I had so many people coming up to me with compliments! It will be a bit snug right under the bust but I have never put on such a beautiful dress and had it feel so comfortable. HIGHLY recommend- also get the Phoenix Necklace to go with it- it looked fabulous together!

Just being able to wear a great dress without having to pay the designer price tag was a great experience.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to a bridal shower in NYC. I didn't think I would love it as much as I did but once I tried it on, I loved it. I also got many compliments :). I ordered this dress in both a 0 and a 2 and I couldn't wear the 0 because it was too tight in the chest area. So if you are larger than a B, you'll probably need the next size up.

I wore this to my birthday brunch with friends, and I loved it. It was true to size. I am bigger in the chest (D), so it was slightly tight there but it still fit. I really loved this dress. It was perfect for a casual brunch, but it can also be dressed up for other occasions.

I wore this to my boyfriend's fraternity formal and it was a great pick! The color of the dress is flattering even on pale people and is a different color than from what you would normally see people wearing. The fabric is thick and you are able to wear a normal bra with the dress. The patterning on the dress isn't too overwhelming and I was able to wear a chunky necklace with it without seeming too much. Nude shoes are a great choice to pair it with!

I rented a 6 and 8. I am very short and this dress was a perfect length. It has lining inside so no need for a slip, comfortable. The 6 was a little snug around the bust. Also saffire blue earrings were a prefect compliment. This is the third rental for me, and am so happy I do not have to spend hours searching stores for a dress that I might never wear again. Thanks to rent the runway!

Great color 'yellow' and can wear with accessories or simple. I wore it to a wedding rehearsal dinner and party and wore it with flats. I wore it in Nashville in July and was not hot in it at all. The bottom was a little tight and in the armpit, but other than that it was great!!!

It was a great dress! I did not realize how thick the material was or the texture, but that just made it even better. I got a 4 and 6, the 6 was too big and the 4 was a little too snug, but I wore the 4 because I liked the way it laid at my waist better! I definitely wish I owned this dress.

I wore this dress to a baby shower. The material is substansial, it fits snuggly. The bust is a little tight and the waist area is a little big so I wore a belt around my waist and that did the trick. Overall a cute little dress you can throw on and feel very special.

Size this for your rib cage. For example, I wore a 0 in my other dress and a 4 in this. The rib cage is tight and the rest of the dress is a nice fit and forgiving.

I wore this for my bridal shower. It was super cute and flattering (especially for the big butt girls) it fit iin the right places. It is kind of plain so if you want to stand out more....this may not be the dress for you. But it was a nice thick material and looked great with a denim jacket after the party

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I rented this dress for an event that required me to cover up a bit. I loved the color, but the dress was way too short to wear. The fabric is also rather thick and rigid so it's may not be as flattering for someone who is petite. It will likely benefit those who are trying to slightly hide their hips.

I was very excited to try this dress, unfortunately it turned out to be a major disappointment! The pattern on it is pretty but its barely noticeable and the color is very dull. In the picture it looks very short but it actually only hits mid thigh, not too high.

Perfect for afternoon event

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

Great texture, which can't be seen as well in photographs. The material is pretty thick, so I wouldn't wear it to an outdoor hot/humid summer event. Perfect for a girl with wider hips- has a really nice flair. The conservative top is balanced nicely with the shorter skirt & the barer back. Material stretched as the day wore on. I felt there was a major difference between the 2 and 4- If you are smaller in the shoulders and chest and are in between the 2 sizes- go with the 2!!! :)

Super Cute

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was adorable, I ended up going with a different dress because: the fabric is a little shear - if you have curves or abdominal muscles, I wouldn't say it is the most flattering - as it hugs right under your bust. Super cute, I would order and wear again but in an 8. Absolutely gorgeous material.

I rented this dress for a baby shower and although it was very cute, it was too short on me (I'm 5'7.5") - I should have noticed from the picture. Also it was a bit more casual than I'd hoped - would've been perfect for a night out with my husband, but I needed to dress up more for my event. Material is very thick and you can wear a regular bra, which is a plus!

Cute Dress.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress for my friend's wedding. Overall, the fit was true to size but I found it to be on the short side. I am only 5'1" so I was really surprised by how short it was, any form of bending or leaning over was out of the question! The textured fabric is a little more dramatic than the photo lets on as well. Other than that it was a flattering dress and the color was really pretty. I wore it with nude wedges, emerald jewelry, and the DVF Jungle clutch also from RTR.

Loved it, sort of.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Other

Loved the dress, however, it was a little too long on me. I ended up pairing a big brown belt with it right at the waist line, folding the dress over under the belt to make it shorter. The dress actually looked MUCH better with a belt--would recommended having one handy if you're renting this. Ordered both an 8 and a 6 (I usually wear a 6), but had to wear the 8 because my boobs didn't fit into the 6. Great for girls with big bust sizes--you can wear a normal bra with it. Would definitely rent if you have a belt to pair with it!
