Perfect for winter with tights - super cute. Wore this for my birthday dinner.
The gathering makes you look a lot smaller which I appreciated.

Comfort meets fashion
I wore this dress for my birthday dinner. At first glance it may not ordinary but with a few accessories its perfect. Form fitting yet comfortable. No need to get a size up because the material gives.

I got this for a night out at a Broadway show in NYC. I felt amazing in this dress!
The ruching is very flattering. I would rent this again! The long sleeves made it perfect for a cold night.

It was fun to wear something new.
I don't have such a large bust, and yet it stretched unflatteringly anyway. It fit well other than that, Also the front dips lower than in the picture. I am 5'3" and it was right at the knee for me

I still felt sexy even though I was 6.5 months pregnant!
I rented this dress for my Aunt & Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. I was 6.5 months at the time and didn't find out that my backup size 6 wasn't available until I received my package. I would've preferred a size 6, but I think it showcased my bump just fine.The dress was really snug around my belly & bust but I got away with it for the day. I want to rent this again now that I'm bump free so I can give a better review, but for preggo ladies, I highly recommend. The color was beautiful and I received a lot of compliments. I didn't gain much weight during my pregnancy so I stuck with sizes that I normally wear, especially because it's stretchy material. You can adjust the length to short or long which is great and the ruching is really forgiving.

Comfortable and pretty dress!
I actually ordered a different dress which became unavailable so I was sent this instead and ended up really liking it! I was sent a 2 and a 4 and ended up wearing the 2. It fit perfectly around the middle and was the perfect length. The color is a little darker than royal blue. I don't have many pics of the dress but pictures really don't do it justice. The sleeves added a little something to make the dress stand out even more. Ended up being perfect for a daytime, winter wedding.

Beautiful and Sophisticated!
Simple, yet sophisticated beautiful dress. I wore size 4, I could have fit best on size two but the size 4 was very appropriate for the Bris I attended to, it fell just above my knee, accentuated my curves beautifully and in a tasteful manner. Perfect for a winter event!! Loved it!!

Good winter dress
I ordered two dresses & ended up preferring the other one. The royal blue color was wonderful, I liked the sleeves & long length ~ perfect for a winter occasion! The reason I did not wear it was the gathers/ruching. The top of the dress was slightly gathered, and if you spread out the bottom to look similarly gathered it was LONG~ below the knees ~ surprising for me since I am so tall! Or you could pull up the dress to an above knee length and the dress looked very gathered at the bottom & not matching the top. During the 10 minutes I tried the dress on I couldn't stop pulling & playing with the ruching... I figured I would be doing that all night if I wore it!

Comfortable and Elegant
I'm quite tall and often have trouble finding a dress that's an appropriate length, but this was more than long enough. It's very flattering and the quality is gorgeous. Under 30 crowd: It may be a tad conservative for a night out on the town, but it's perfect for a fall or winter wedding.

I loved this dress!!! I got it smaller because of previous reviews said it is stretchy and a size 6 was not available. It was really stretchy and looked great! I got so many compliments and now I want to buy this dress.

This dress was super comfortable, the color was very rich. It was long enough to not be risque but the ruching (sp) made it sexy. Would be great for fall or winter. I did run a little big, so consider sizing down for your back up.

Best dress I've worn in ages!!
I absolutely love this dress. The color is beautiful, material is comfortable and stylish. You can wear it short, or longer so it's a little flexible on what kind of look you're going for. It is forgiving in your trouble spots (for me, it's that dreaded lower-tummy) which is fantastic. I wore it for a work affair and every man in that room was a fan, and the ladies liked the class. Highly recommend this beautiful dress.

Easy to wear; the gentle side gatherings hide any midsection flaws.
A bit large for size. I usually wear a 6; but only the 4 arrived in my delivery. I was worried it would be to snug. That wasn't an issue as the 4 seemed to a six in size to me. Be sure to order a size down as your backup.

Sassy fit
Beautiful color, though not as luxurious looking as I would have liked. Didn't seem suitable for a formal affair, possibly because of the snug fit. Very flattering though and can adjust the length to taste.

I wore this for a work event and it was great! Fit nice and was incredibly comfortable.
I had to wear this to a formal dinner for work that included cocktail hour and presentations. Great choice as it looked formal but still allowed me to show my figure.

waaaaay too long
couldn't wear the dress. form fitted and beautiful color, but fell several inches below my knees and sleeves were about 1/2 inch too long. to make it fit at the knee required so much "ruching" that the dress looked ridiculous

The dress arrived on my 60th birthday . . . a birthday I wasn't looking forward to.
But I put on the dress and felt years younger! Awesome dress and so comfortable for the Christmas party I attended several days later. I loved the neckline and the shirring. Very attractive. I got lots of compliments (even with the orthopedic boot I was wearing on my left leg!) and introduced my friends to the "Rent the Runway" concept. The whole transaction from order to return could not have been any easier. I'm sure I'll turn to "Rent the Runway" for future special events. In the future, please add more dresses with sleeves to your selections.

great dress except for the weird shoulder detail...
the puffy shoulders really ruined it for me - was an otherwise streamlined, chic dress. the material was very soft and luxurious. the cut of the dress is flattering. i just don't like the puffy shoulders, which you don't really see in the photo. i guess without those it's just a really great, average dress. nothing wrong with that! the color is beautiful and the length is just right. this was my back-up dress and i didn't wear it. i rented an 8 but i should have gotten the 6.

Felt like Kate Middleton
I rented this very Kate Middleton-esque dress for my rehearsal dinner. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I would (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). The ruching seemed a little big to me... normally ruching gives me the illusion of curves (which I don't have), but this ruching just seemed kind of bunchy and not fantastic. I also wasn't a huge fan of the shoulders of the dress. Overall, it's a good dress, but I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Runs Large
I ordered this dress and thankfully an amazing backup because this dress was way too large (even in a size 0). I am petite, but this was long in both the arms and length and no amount of bunching could make it fall properly. I'm sure it would be great on someone taller.

Wore this for our Engagement dinner!
This dress was my best rental yet! The color is gorgeous and the cut/ruching made this a stunner - my (now) husband couldn't compliment me enough. It hugged in all the right places. I was sad to send it back because I would LOVE to own this dress! I would suggest for petite girls thinking of renting to add fashion tape to your order in case the hem hits too long - I did, and was able to work to shorten it just right - quick fix!

Navy Knockout!
This dress was great because it fit with the 8 but it wasn't too curve hugging. Had I been at an event other than a wedding, I would have wanted a 6 just to have it fit a little tighter. This dress is beyond comfortable and I got tons of compliments. Love RTR as always.

From Husky Tomboy to Glam Diva!!!!!
I am the tomboy of my group of friends and really felt like buying a dress is a waste of time for me. I stumbled upon this website and instantly fell in love. I have recently lost a few lbs but I am still a little jiggly in the tummy area. This dress was AMAZING! It is VERY forgiving in the midsection. I wore spanx and it actually was still too big in the midsection. I would suggest going a size down for sure. I wore an 8 but needed a 6. I am 100% going to rent this dress again. Thanks RTR for making me feel beautiful!

Love this dress. It was very pretty, flattering and elegent. At the time I rented this dress I wore a size 8 and the size 8 was a little big. It didn't look bad but the 6 would have been more flattering.

Wonderful fit, runs true to size. A GORGEOUS DRESS!!
I wore this dress for a Halloween party-I dressed up as Kate Middelton-the dress was very similar to hers! It's a tighter fitting dress, but the ruching hid any problem areas. Very comfortable, and I recieved tons of compliments!

It fits to my body in the most incredible way. It hugs all my curves.
I thought it was a dress I wasn't going to like, b/c I didn't like the ruffles on the side, but there was on complain once I put the dress on. The amount of attention I got with this dress on was out of this world. It's both sexy & classy at the same time.

Loved this dress!
This was my back up dress for a spring wedding. Since I didn't like the way the other dress fit, I went with this one. Good thing I did, as it was a cool evening and I appreciated having the sleeves. It was on the short side since I have long legs, but looked amazing (with a few strategic double stick tape placements). It was very comfortable for dancing. I got so many compliments and my husband loved how I looked.

I didn't want to send it back!
This was my back up dress for my rehersal dinner. My initial dress proved to be a little too difficult for me to get on so I wore this one instead. I think this might have been the most comfortable dress I've ever worn. It fits like a glove and is VERY forgiving of problem areas. I was really sad I had to send it back. I think I'll have to rent it again if I ever have the right occassion.
