I decided on this dress for my recent birthday party. I rented the Medium with the Large as a back up. I have a few Herve Leger band skirts that are sized medium, but because of the reviews, and because I have a broad athlete's back, I was unsure about how the torso would fit on me. The inside bra straps really help with making sure the back zips up as seamlessly as possible (however, like another reviewer mentioned, my cousin had a hard time getting the straps to latch--the metal part is very tight). But I'm OCD and made her stick it out until it was latched. Glad I did. It helped tremendously in helping me feel nice and secure in knowing that I wasn't going to bust the zipper getting it up. Although I opted to wear Spanx, I have to be honest in saying, they didn't do much in making the dress that much more easy to fit into. If you're a Medium, you're a Medium w/ or w/out the Spanx. They did help to make things look way more smoothed out, but that was about it. I tried on the Large first and it was too big...given my figure, the medium fit as the dressed was intended to fit. I received the dresses early on the day I was slated to receive it and the little extras that came with them were very thoughtful. Overall, I am soo happy with my first "Rent The Runway" experience. I received soo many compliments Saturday night. And felt so beautiful. Thanks ladies!
