I felt so glamorous and got SO many compliments!
This dress was utterly fabulous!! I turned so many heads and received so many compliments. I am still not used to the lbs I packed on while having babies, and I still look about 4-5 months pregnant. This dress was SOOO flattering to my ginormous midsection. I may have needed a smaller size - the front could gape a bit unless I kept my shoulders back, which forced me to have better posture throughout the night. Overall, this was a great experience for my first time using rent the runway - I will definitely use it again!

I felt unstoppable!
After a little struggle of finding the right dress, RTR sent multiple dresses when my original pick was not sent in time. The customer service was amazing and this dress! As a curvy woman, I had an abundance of confidence due to this dress. I am definitely renting again!

This dress was ALL GLITZ & GLAM! I felt like a JEWEL in the dress!
I wore this for a pageant and I absolutely loved it. I loved the sleeves that allowed for my shoulders to show. I'm short but with heels I was able to twirl and slayyyy in this dress. If you're looking for a showstopper, this is it! I won 1st place too!! I definitely felt incredible in this dress! RTR is the absolute best!

Gala performance was Magical!
This was my first time using Rent the Runway. I rented this dress to perform at a Gala for a local theatre. It fit perfectly in the size 14. The 16 was too big!! I did not have to wear a bra with the dress and that never happens with my large bust! I received so many compliments. The dress is a showstopper. The comments about it being snug on the stomach are true, however it is flattering to have the fabric layered in that area. I will definitely use this company again.

This dress was shiny and gorgeous. I felt like a queen.
For Prom I ordered the 18WR and the 20WR (I'm the student council advisor at my school, so I get to go to Prom every year!) I normally wear an 18 and this dress fit perfectly. It fit my bust and curves and my husband stared all night. The only con was that it's a little long on my short stature and the small train in the back became a BIG train even with heels.

I had a NYE wedding...I wanted sparkle and elegance, this dress had it all!
I was so nervous on sizes, I've lost weight over the past year and didn't know what I would fit it, so I opted for an 18R and 20L. I tried on the 18 and it fit perfectly and with the help of Spanx, it looked incredible!! I loved everything about this dress. I am 5'9, I wore 3" heels and I wore the regular length. I think if I wore the long, I might have tripped over the front at some point. This is a really fabulous and stunning dress for any formal affair!

Perfect! I didn't even have to wear my backup size and my girls (36HH) fit into the dress nicely.
Sooo may compliments! This was my first rental and definitely not my last. The length was perfect enough to wear heels with the dress lightly brushing the floor. Material is stretchy and the design of the dress hides imperfections in tummy area. I loved the railings the back. I felt like royalty.

This was a "gold" event and I felt like a million bucks!
I am usually an 18-20 in "normal" (not designer) clothing. The 18WL was borderline too big and I wish my backup size had been the 16 instead of the 20. That said, the 18 fit and was comfortable, and at t 5'9", the tall was a good choice. The train dragged just a tiny bit, and the front wasn't too short. The ruching and sequins make this dress very flattering and forgiving. The top stays up effortlessly and I didn't have to worry at all about it gapping open.

Love it! Got 18L (& 20L just in case) 18L fit perfect! Wore it for high school prom (Gatsby themed).
Pros: great length, well-fitted, beautifully elegant style Cons: not recommended for small busts, some stray strings of fabric but BARELY even noticeable (nothing to worry about) #prom #Gatsby

Stylist Review!
This style is very comfortable. The ruching in the midsection is very flattering. I would suggest it for women with a larger bust because, it can give the effect that your stomach and your bust are the same. Your curves could get lost in the ruching. The length is true, so it's not something to worry about. I felt like my skin tone was washed out with this color, so I would suggest it for darker skin tones. It was a very glamorous style!

I received so many compliments from total strangers while wearing this dress!
Wore it to a company holiday party and then a friend's holiday party later the same night. Super comfy, but too big in the bust for me (I'm a 40 DD). It gaped too much and I was concerned I'd have to fuss with it all night. I was able to pin the top in a way to create a draped neckline look and then it was perfect. I was in three inch heels but it was almost too long (I'm 5'6") and I had to be very careful to hold it up. But, I felt fabulous and I would buy this dress!

Lots of compliments. Runs large, especially around the waist and bust. Only drawback, the dress smelled of strong perfume, I'm assuming from the previous renter.

"Living My Life Like It's Golden"
The perfect gown for my "Living My Life Like It's Golden" 50th birthday party. My first time ordering from RTR and it was a great experience. My order arrived as scheduled two days before my event. This dress is absolutely gorgeous and very flattering. To top it off my boyfriend proposed at my party!! You can't go wrong!

This dress slipped on me like it was made especially for me. I didn't even feel like wearing support (but my mother taught me better lol). I definitely hated to put it back in the bag. It was such a beautiful night. I got a million compliments, and it complimented my shape beautifully. It was a must have!

This dress is beautiful.
Hugged my curves, not tight and surprisingly comfortable. I felt like a princess and everyone loved my dress. I'm 5'1 and weigh 178 lbs, so it was long on me. I had to hold it up a bit to walk and dance. Otherwise, I'd risk tripping on train. I loved this dress and will rent from here again.

This was one of the most elegant weddings I had ever been to and this dress helped make it so!
I thought the fit was great, others talked about it being tight across the stomach however, this not my issue. My problem areas has a tendency to be my large chest and arms. There was enough give in the fabric so it was comfortable, never too tight. I felt so wonderful in this dress and got compliments from complete strangers. The only request is really from RTR! Please do not tell me something runs true to size. Designers all have different measurements especially when working with plus sizes. Please have accurate size charts for each designer. I had two different dresses, each a 18, and they fit completely different. I really need a size chart.

Compliments Galore!
This dress is a show stopper! I was showered with compliments all night at the Old Hollywood-themed benefit I attended. I felt like Marilyn, Bette, and Elizabeth strutting through the ballroom trailed by the dresses sparkle and short train. The belly ruching is forgiving and the sleeves are unique in a world full of strapless. This is a gorgeous gown, sure to make you a standout!

I received so many compliments on this dress and how great it showed off my curves.
We were attending the Human Rights Campaign Gala and were surrounded by hundreds of discerning gay men, so I was thrilled to have gotten so many compliments! Dress fit perfectly and it was so much fun to wear something other than black to try and hide flaws or fade into the background.

Perfect dress for a wonderful occasion
This was my first experience with RTR and I must say it was a positive one. The gowns arrived rather late on Friday evening and I was a bit panicked because the event was Sunday and the late arrival left me little time to get a replacement dress. Fortunately, I didn't need one. I would say the dress runs true to size. I wore the 16 but I could have worn the 14 because the shoulder area was a little big but the dress fit everywhere else. I received tons of compliments! I felt beautiful and glamorous. Hubby was wowed and that was all that matter!

My client loved the off-the-shoulder look.
I am a boudoir and contemporary glamour portrait photographer, and I include a dress rental for every session. My client loved the off-the-shoulder look--something she normally wouldn't wear (which is the entire reason I include a dress rental--gives my clients a chance to wear something fab!). She is 5'4", size 40 bust, and a 16-18 dress size. The dress fit her very well--plenty of stretch to provide a good fit. http://shannonhemauerphotography.com/

I loved the dress and I got so many compliments. I did feel like my tummy showed more than I would have liked, even with some shape wear. My hair got stuck to the sequins in the dress so I had to wear it in an updo. But overall this is really a lovely dress!
