allison parris

The dress fits true to size. The cut is low in the front, but there is boning inside the dress for support; no bra needed underneath. It's a lightweight cotton-feel material, and the skirt flows when you dance with one layer of tulle underneath to add great flounce! The waist does not run high--it fits well on your small waist and is very flattering. Loved it!

Fits true to size.

Fit was true to form ...bodice was a bit tight but not totally uncomfortable.

Received many compliments all night! It fit well but definitely works for a smaller bust (I'm a 36A/B). The boning did begin to dig in to my rib cage at the end of the night, but could have just been wear-and-tear on the dress.

Overall fit was true to size however the boning is very tight thru the ribs so taking a deep breath was difficult. On a couple occasions I had to sneak away to unzip just to get some relief. I loved the dress, it was PERFECT a late afternoon outdoor southern wedding. Received endless compliments.

Absolutely loved this dress! I received so many comments :) However I am very small chested so I spent most of the day/night hiking it up so my bra didn't show. The tulle skirt was perfect for spinning on the dance floor.

This was my first experience with RTR and I was soooo excited to receive my package in the mail a couple of days before the wedding I was attending. However, upon opening the box, I realized that the dress looked, well, rented. You could tell that it had been worn before, and a lot. There were tears in the tulle (which was underneath, so it's not like anyone saw it) and the hem had started to fray. I found myself picking at stray threads all night. I ordered both a size 4 and size 6, and ended up going with the 6 because of how tight the bust was on the 4 -- I felt like I couldn't breathe! Overall a good first experience, but I honestly don't know if I'll use this service again. I was expecting to rent a dress that looked and felt new, not one that had been worn a hundred times before.

The fit of the dress is awful! The size 10 was too big, and twisted around on my body, however, my breasts were completely smashed and the dress made me look flat chested. The wire in the dress was not aligned properly in the front...it ran along the sides of each breast which made them look even more awkward. The size 8 was a better fit, however it was just too short on me...the wire was still misplaced on it as well. The dress itself should probably be retired, the wires under my arms and sides poked me for the duration of the party. My stomach is pretty flat, but this dress made me look like I had a pot belly...especially when sitting. The dress looks like light weight cotton...and surprisingly cheap in person. This was a miss for me as far as comfort and fit. The color and pattern was quite pretty. The fit is simply put...awkward. I think this dress works best on very thin women with absolutely no curves.

Lovely dress! I'm 5'8", 120 lbs--great fit! I'm usually tugging at strapless dresses, but didn't have an issue. Many compliments AND I was able to bike to my event w this on, yay!

The boning was poking out of the dress at the hips which made it very uncomfortable, but at least it looked great! The amount of tulle on the skirt fluffs it out the perfect amount.

It runs a bit tight around the bust so take that into consideration, the nice thing about it being so tight is that you don't need a strapless bra. Easy to dance in, and it didn't need many accessories since the pattern was really fun.

This dress was very fun and light for a summer wedding brunch. It did have a bit too much cleavage, so I wouldn't suggest for anyone with a larger bra size than mine. I can't imagine how I could have worn a bra with this, but luckily the boning worked just fine!

Fit well, might have been able to fit into a 2 but the 4 gave me a little space to dance! The bottom does flare out quite a bit with the layer of tulle underneath. Got lots of compliments though and great for summer wedding!

I rented this for a very casual barn wedding reception, but rented too late where I wasn't able to pick a backup size. I've never had a problem fitting into any 0 I have rented so I went for it anyway. Of course this is the time where it wouldn't work out. I was excited to try it on when it arrived, I had just gotten back from lunch... Bad idea. Couldn't even get it zipped over my torso. I tried again right before I returned it, just to see. Well, I got it zipped this time, but I couldn't breathe. For a brief moment I considered wearing it but it wouldn't be worth being uncomfortable the whole night! Rent the Runway was extremely customer oriented in fixing the problem. My replacement dress just arrived, with more than enough time before my event! Overall the fit was small, but it is a really cute dress for a petite woman. I am short (5'1") and the length was short but appropriate for a wedding. The skirt is full and would have been fun to dance in!

I got a ton of compliments on my dress. The boning was coming out of the bottom and ended up poking me randomly throughout the night. The boning on the size 8 was too painful under the arm to wear. I used double sided tape to secure the boobs into the dress and had no trouble dancing all night. The dress fit wonderfully and I would love to wear it again. The skirt would fly up if not held down during a big gust of wind. I'm also long legged, long armed, and long torso-ed. I didn't have to worry about flashing too much skin as the dress was long enough.

Girly and cute, got lots of compliments, but runs small and spine cuts through the fabric... Hurt my waist a little. The skirt is fuller than expected too, because of the added tulle. But overall, pretty!

I was so disappointed I didn't get to wear this my event. The bust was so small I couldn't even get it zippered. That's not usually a problem for me so I was very surprised. The color and print is awesome in person and would look fantastic in pictures! So so sad it didn't fit :( It's very light and airy feeling when you wear it, although after trying it on I could see how the corseting of the dress could rub and get uncomfortable after a while. This dress is definitely for someone with a small chest. If that's you, rent it!

The boning was beginning to poke through the fabric up at the top, so I was getting randomply stabbed in the chest throughout the evening. Other than that, it was a super rental!

I wore this a ladies luncheon and it was perfect! It fit well and was fun to wear.

I needed a dress for a cocktail party on a yacht and this was perfect! The shape is very flattering and the skirt has a bit of chiffon netting underneath so it didn't blow up in the wind. I got tons of compliments and would definitely rent it again for a casual gathering with a different group of friends.

The dress was very cute, but I was unable to wear it in either size. I got a size up as suggested in addition to my normal size, but even this size was too tight to wear to my friend's wedding. It was also incredibly itchy due to the tulle lining underneath. Fortunately I had a backup dress at home, but I was pretty disappointed that I was unable to wear this one.

Pattern was great, tulle was a nice touch. Dress very small through torso area. I am short waisted and the boning cut into my hips. But if I was average height and slimmer it would have been a 5 star dress!!!

Great Color and would have worn it to a baby shower for spring, but my boobs did not fit in the dress, and the size 8 was not available at the time.

The dress is very tight fitting in bodice and has boning on the sides which can cut uncomfortably into your waist if you wear the dress all day like I did. It is well-shaped in the bodice so I did not even have to wear a bra with is. Also it is somewhat low-cut at the center bust but overall I loved wearing it. I wore a size 6 which is my usual size but it was very snug and kind of flattened my bust. I think it runs true to just slightly small for size. It is a light cottony fabric perfect for warm summer/spring days. It also has a crinoline skirt that makes it the perfect fit-flare style.

It fit well. Pretty true to size. The boning in the top stuck me under my arms at times. But it was nothing a little alcohol couldn't cure :)

Fit well and was comfortable, but I recommend a slip, as the netting is uncomfortable sitting down. Adorable dress though!

The dress was true to size, the length on me was just below mid thigh.

The color and fabric are great. Be aware that it's a bit low in the front if you're bustier, which doesn't really show up in the photo. Overall, a nice dress!

Not for hour glass figure. Looked cute until the abdominal area flared out. cut off in midriff area. Midriff stopped too short and flared out so made your stomach look bigger then it is.

I threw my fiancé a big 30th birthday party and rented this dress. Not only did it fit great, but it's adorable and fun . I was sad when I tried to find it to purchase it was no where to be found. Alison Parris does amazing work!

I received tons of compliments all night. Although the dress is a little scratchy, I wore spanx just to avoid the netting. The style was very flattering. No noticeable flaws or fit complaints. I didn't have to wear a bra (I am a 34B).

The 6 fit just right, but the top was never really flush against my chest. I was expecting some sort or elastic of something to keep it from opening. I kept pulling it up all night to prevent any boob incidents. I should have gotten some double sided tape to fit the situation.

I loved the color and the lightweight fabric of this dress. I rented it for an outdoor Texas wedding. It would have been awesome but I would have been worried about bending over or a wind gust. Super cute, however!

This dress was so flattering and comfortable, although a little short, even for a short lady! I have pretty long legs for a 5'4" woman, so that may have contributed. The tulle lining made the dress really fun for the summer and made the silhouette very flattering. The sweetheart neckline was also really pretty and I wasn't pulling the dress up all night, which was a great thing for a strapless dress. I got so many compliments and I am fairly certain that I turned a few more ladies on to this website after wearing this cute frock. I'd highly recommend this dress to someone looking for a fun, summer dress that's easy to dance in!

This dress was perfect for a country club wedding. The skirt has some tulle in it so it is full but not too full. The boning in the top is a little uncomfortable but means you don't need to wear a bra. Definitely recommend!

The zipper was a little touchy.

If you are busty order a size up.

Loved this dress and how it looked, however, It did not fit. I could not zip it past my breasts. Being a 34DD I had not shot in this dress. Even with the size 6, it wasn't going to happen. So sad I couldn't get to wear it.

Definitely very fitted on the top half...the boning is certainly flattering just be prepared not to eat very much!

Had multiple people compliment the dress. Loved the skirt part because the tulle makes it a little puffy on the bottom. The ribbing in the chest area is a little tight! It definitely kept me from eating too much wedding cake.
