Beautiful dress - very flowy and comfortable!
Gorgeous dress. I rented it a friend's formal wedding and received quite a few compliments! It's very flowy and lots of fun to dance in! Size: I wore the 4R which is exactly 34" in the bust with NO 'give.' The dress is not stretchy or elastic, so once it was zipped up it was really snug against my bust/rib cage. Definitely something to keep in mind! I've rented other MB dresses before and it's pretty true to the size of other MB dresses. Neckline: It's low, but doesn't require a creative bra. I wore a regular strapless bra and it was fine. I used a small safety pin just in case, to prevent the center of the bra from showing while I was dancing. Length: I wore 5 inch heels and the dress was about a 1/2 inch off the floor. So, it's really long and you have to be careful on stairs/steps not to trip over the front of it. There's also a LOT of fabric so you have to keep gathering it when you sit down so the person next to you doesn't step on it or accidentally put their chair on it.

Super comfortable and I got compliments all night. I had about 2 inches in my shoes. Make sure you pin the top of the dress or the girls will show at some point.

Beautiful Flowy Glam Gown
I rented this dress for a black tie formal event. Though the shipment got delayed (UPS's fault), it arrived a few hours before my event started so it worked out. I loved it the second I took it out of the box. It was a bright red, and the chiffon flows beautifully so it looks like you're gliding when you're walking! The fit was perfect. It was definitely low cut, but not so much that everything was spilling out. It was also a bit low in the back but you can just adjust your bra accordingly. It fit me like a glove, I didnt use any fashion tape or pins or anything, it just stayed in place all night! (and there was a lot of dancing!)The belt cinched at the narrowest part of the waist so it was super flattering as well. It was so hard to send this dress back, I just want to buy it and keep it forever!

Gorgeous dress, perfect color
I wore this to a Ball. Received complements all night; it really was gorgeous. I wore it with half inch to 1inch heels since I was MCing during the presentation and going to be standing/walking/dancing most of the night-I wish I'd either worn my taller heels or gotten a 12 regular-I had to be really crafty walking up stairs. Dress fit beautifully though. I did use tape to keep the girls from making a showing though I really didn't need to, and I wore a regular bra. I have a larger behind but sized down since it's a full skirt. My only regret was that the color (absolutely loved it) was orange and KC Royals were in the middle of the orioles and giants games and I felt a bit guilty, but painted my toes blue to offset it :-)

Basically the best dress ever
I wore this to a fancy wedding.I didn't want to take it off! Ever! After looking at all the picture reviews, I knew this was the dress for me. Everybody in every size, shape, color, age looked incredible in this dress and I felt the same when I put it on. The color is so vivid- orangey red. The fabric is luxurious and the shape is wonderful. I'm at least a size 12 on the bottom but this dress is loose through the hips. I wore the 10 because the top fit me better. It was considerably shorter than the 12 and it was a bit tight through the band at the rib cage (but I have a big rib cage). I am 5'6" and wore 2.5-3 inch heels and you can see it hovered a bit above the floor. I used a small safety pin to close up the neckline a bit as well as fashion tape to keep it from gapping. With those measures I was able to wear a regular bra with this which is wonderful! I wore Spanx on the bottom but I probably didn't need to. My natural waist is about 30-31 inches and where that band hits is about 32 inches. One of the pictures is my sister and I both in RTR gowns! Basically, if you think you'll like this gown, GET IT. You will feel beautiful.

Pros: great color, Comfortable, looked great, picture doesn't do it justice. Zipper is a bit hard to get up and the dress is long, even with 3 inch heels it was dragging. Would rent again!

Stunning, saturated color and an easy-to-wear silhouette made this perfect for a black tie wedding.
Wore this for a black tie wedding in East Hampton in late September. Loved the color and got tons of compliments on it - though it's definitely got an orangey undertone. Used my own gold accessories and nude patent leather strappy sandals. Needed 4 inch heels to carry the length (as I'm short!) but it wasn't as long as some of the others I tried on in-store in NYC. Best of all, it was comfy for an evening of dancing! I wore this without a bra, and did not experience the same issues others have with the top being too big/ long - I think this is mostly related to where the waist fell on my torso. Highly recommend!

First off, I cannot emphasize enough just how much I loved this dress which I wore to my husband's Navy Ball. I'm keeping it in my favorites and plan to buy it if it ever comes up for sale! Tons of compliments. The color is a rich red-orange that kind of shifts depending on the light; (the joke of the night was "is it red? or is it orange?" The skirt has two layers with lots of fabric so it just flows and swirls like a dream. This dress IS fantastic for us Busty Ladies! (And definitely go out and buy the fashion tape. And just buy it here. I tried to be clever and find it elsewhere which just turned into a last minute, day of stress). TIP; if you are a fellow bosom-buddy, you'll probably need to go UP on your free second size. If you look at the picture of the model, the belt sits closer to the natural waist. The girls will raise that up a bit to sit a little higher on your rib cage. (I'm a 34DDD, 32G and high-waisted, so it was practically empire waist). I wore 3.5 - 4" heels which was just right with the longer length. I LOVED this dress!

I rented this dress for a formal gala. I was 6 weeks post partum, and this dress was incredible. It made me feel incredible, and it moves beautifully when you walk. The color is definitely red-orange, but was lovely. It is a bit low cut, but nothing fashion tape couldn't fix. I was able to wear a standard bra with it no problems. I would totally wear this again. Also, RTR customer service is incredible!

The dress is beautifully flowy and perfect for a formal event. The color is very bright and summery. The only difficulty was that the zipper caught at the belt area.

This dress is amazing and flowy. I felt like a goddess! I am 5'4" and wore 5 inch heels and it was perfect in length. The only problem is my shoulders are not very big and it made the dress so low cut on me. I felt like it was inappropriate. The size 2 was more comfortable around my rib cage but the shoulders were so big that fell off me. I did not have to wear a bra and couldn't because the cut was so low. Everyone loved it and it ended up being a hit.

Pretty, "flowy" dress!
Very orange and very low cut. Get some tape! I usually wear size 4, but needed 2. Tight in the rib cage, but long enough for my short stature. I'm 5'2" and wore 4" strappy gold sandals. Zipper didn't work too well in either size. Otherwise a very pretty dress. For fun I opted for turquoise jewelry instead of gold.

This was the first time I had used Rent the Runway. I originally ordered an 8L and a 10L because I wanted to wear wedges with the dress. The dresses arrived a day earlier than I expected which was great. When I tried them on, the 8 fit but it was too long even with 4 and a half inch wedges. I called the number they gave and they were able to overnight me an 8R for no additional cost. I was very impressed with the customer service. The plunging neckline was a bit problematic throughout the night since I wore this to my senior prom and I go to a catholic school. The dress gaped open a little when I sat down. It was nothing that fashion tape and standing up extra straight couldn't fix. I would also recommend a slip because in some lighting it was sheer. I got endless compliments and I felt beautiful. I ate a lot and was still comfortable in the dress. In my pictures the dress might look a little bit frumpy, but it is very flowy and fitting in person. The color of the dress is questionable(it is described as red). I included a picture of me next to a girl with a red dress so you can see the comparison. This dress will definitely accentuate your curves and make your boobs look good no matter what your body type is. I would recommend Rent the Runway to anyone and I am excited to rent for my next event!

RTR delivered my dresses on time and in beautiful condition- definitely renting again!!
Loved this dress! It looked elegant but sexy and fit wonderfully for my body type (more curvy). I got compliments from total strangers at the event I attended! The belt below the bust was pretty tight even for a 4, but the chest size was fairly large. If you're small in the bust I wouldn't recommend...it was almost too big for me and generally that's the opposite issue I run into. Overall though, highly recommend!

Loved this dress! the color was spectacular, and it flowed magically.
The thing I loved most about this dress was its vibrant color. It felt unique and like it stood out, but not flashy. The length for me was perfect with about 4" heels. I had read in almost all of the reviews before I ordered the dress warning about the top being baggy so I was prepared with a garment adhesive and with that I was all set. The neck line is beautiful and the skirt flows beautifully. Overall it is a fabulous dress that looks as great as it feels. My experience with RTR was just wonderful and I definitely plan on using them again!

Sexy, Sophisticated Cut, Swirly Skirt
The dress is low cut, but if you have that asset to show off, you'll like it. I wore a VS Deep U plunge bra w/ clear straps and you could not see the bra, but it keep my chest perky (great bra investment). You have to keep stand up straight and keep your shoulders back to look like the photo (if you don't have a long torso), otherwise the top slouches just a bit--not sure what was going on with the structure, but it was not a big deal. However, if I owned the dress, I would tailor the top straps to be a bit tighter at the top of the shoulder. The skirt of the dress was amazing, it swirled just the right amount and draped beautifully going up stairs--I didn't have any problems with people stepping on it. I am 5'9" but wore the R length with 2.5in heels (my date was short).

The look on my dates face when I walked into my sororities formal! It made it all worth it!
This was my first RTR experience so I was a little worried but what a fantastic experience. What caught my eye about this dress was the beautiful color. That tangerine can brighten up any skin tone. I also loved that I would be able to wear a bra with the dress as well so I would have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions. The dress is very true to size, a little tight under the bust but still extremely comfortable. The length of the dress is perfect. It glides across the ground, which was great because I wasn't worried about constantly stepping on the hem. It was an amazing dress for my sororities formal and helped create an unforgettable night! I'm a true believer in RTR! I'm going to be a customer for life!

Dress was absolutely perfect!
This was my first RTR dress. I am 5'10" so I ordered both 0L and 2L. Both dresses fit, but I ended up wearing the 2L for a little extra room to expand from eating/drinking. I got more compliments on my dress that night than I could count! The color is a perfect red-orange and it is incredibly flattering. The length was perfect with 3 inch heels. I wanted to keep the dress on forever and didn't want to send it back. I'm in love!

Too tight around the rib cage so go 1 or 2 sized larger.
I typically wear 2 or 4, but I couldn't even zip it up. The area around the rib cage is too tight so I quickly returned the 2/4 sizes and got 6/8, and ended up finally fitting into size 8!! Thanks to Rent The Runway for sending bigger sizes the very next day. Beautiful dress & bright color that pops out amongst other dull or black dresses.- got many compliments.

I received so many compliments in this dress!
This dress was gorgeous & i loved it. Fit-wise, it was a bit loose in the back area, i used a lot of fashion tape to secure it & it was fine. I am 5'3" and the dress was long, but once i put on my 5" inch heels all was okay. I would wear this dress again but would probably try the 0 to see if the top fit better.

Great dress, a little heavy at the beading section.
With my heels it was the perfect length. As a brand new mom, it fit perfectly...I was able to wear a bra and the dress was heavy enough to make me feel like I didn't have to suck in my stomach. The beading was a bit heavy but if you can find the size to fit under your chest, it will be supported.

Perfect Red Dress
I am so in love with this dress. I was really worried about the length, I'm 5'4 and it's sort of confusing deciding what to get in a floor length dress but I settled for an R and when I put it on with a little under 4 inch heels it was exactly right. I felt so amazing walking in this dress with the skirt flowing around me. I did use a little fashion tape to keep the top from revealing too much but if it wasn't a wedding I probably wouldn't have bothered. I got tons of compliments but the best was as I walked off the dance floor the artist doing a live painting of the reception yelled at me "Red dress! I got you in the painting!" I looked and sure enough, there I was :)

Beautiful color! It was perfect for my in laws 50th wedding anniversary party. Thanks RTR!!
The dress is a gorgeous orange-red. I probably could have gone down a size but the 12R worked and was comfortable, the length was perfect with 4 inch heels. This dress might be a problem for some because it is low cut BUT because there is gathered fabric over the bust area, it is very easy to use tape.

This dress was amazing to wear, it flowed beautifully.
I ordered this for a black tie wedding in NYC in June. I ordered the 4 and the 6. I am usually a 4 but at 6 months pregnant i wanted to get the 6 as well just in case. The dress is bump friendly. I tried the 4 and it did fit but it was quite tight around my rib cage so for comfort's sake i wore the 6. It is loose around the belly so I guess I could wear the 6 at a later stage in pregnancy too. But by the end of the night, after the dinner and everything, the 6 was even tight around my rib cage. So i was happy to get out of it. Be aware that as others have commented, it is very low cut, but I used tape and it worked fine. In general, I loved this dress and felt fabulous in it, as it showed off my bump nicely. Not too much, but just enough. Would definitely recommend this dress. It's beautiful.

STYLIST REVIEW!
I loved the color of this dress. Great for all four seasons! It was a very easy fit and would work for almost every body type. It was slightly more cleavage than I usually like but still a flattering dress. If someone is larger than a C cup I would recommend sizing up for more coverage in the bust. The material is light but isn't too clingy! I tried on the 2L but usually would be the 2R!

One of the best nights of my life
The accentuated wait with the loose flowy bottom made this dress SO figure flattering. It was a bit long and I had to safety pin the top because I don't think I was tall enough for the dress. Despite that I just threw on a pair a heels and didn't worry about it. The waist is very tight and might cause you to go up a size.

Gorgeous Color, Sexy Neckline
I wore the 6L because of my bust (32DDD) instead of the 4L which would have fit great if it wasn't for that. The top would be loose fitting on someone who is not very busty but the band will sit lower at the waist. For busty women it shows much cleavage so fashion tape is needed. I think the dress was a bit too simple for the gala I wore it to but would probably be great for someone who does like to dress simply or for other less formal affairs. The color is very vibrant and much brighter in person. The dress has a lot of material on the bottom which makes it look flow a lot when you walk which looks lovely. Plays difficult if walking up steps. Great dress nonetheless.

The dress was perfect for the spectacular wedding.
Overall fit was perfect. My chest did not fill out the top however so I needed double sided tape and pins to prevent it from drooping too low. I also recommend wearing a Nu-Bra so you don't have to worry about bra straps. I initially wished I had gotten the long gown but once I had to go up stairs, sit, dance, etc the regular was perfect length. Otherwise, the dress was gorgeous. I would def use rent the runway again as well as recommend it for all my friends and family!

Pop of color and sexy neckline helped me feel glam and classy!
The neckline helped me feel sexy, the pop of color helped me feel fun and the silhouette helped me feel classy-- I received many compliments, a great first RTR experience. This dress only required minimal adjustments-- fashion tape on the neckline to prevent my bra from showing and no special undergarments, just a regular strapless bra. I accessorized with 3 inch gold peep-toe heels, a gold clutch and a simple gold necklace. A word to the wise-- silk chiffon dresses cannot be temporarily hemmed by RTR! This ended up being kind of a big deal for me because the chiffon overlay was too long by about 1 inch-- which really inhibited my ability to walk around and DANCE (I'm a big dancer at events)- I ended up carrying the chiffon or tying it in a knot to be able to dance. The dress comes in S, M, L -- I chose the small which fit well but after a few appetizers and dinner it felt almost uncomfortably snug. Overall, great dress, fun experience but I will really be careful about length going forward.

I got lots of compliments on this dress!
I am normally 5 feet 8 inches and 135 lbs but for this event I was 35 weeks pregnant and weighed 160. I am Normally a 2 or 4 but I ordered this dress in a 6L and 8L. I ended up wearing the 8L, there was plenty of room for my belly and for my expanding rib cage. The top part was a little big but the rest of the dress fit great. Watch out for the zipper because it is very fragile and can be hard to zip. The length was great with 2-3 inch heels.
