This was an annual scholarship fundraiser and we topped last year's attendance.

Loved this dress! Actually this was my back up dress but ending wearing this because I fell in love with the neckline detail and fit. The dress ran true to size and was comfortable. I received quite a few compliments and looking forward to renting again for another event.

I loved this dress, classy, dressy but not over the top! Got lots of compliments all night long!

The fit was good - - halter top was just right - - not gaping around the arms and flattering through the chest and body! The length was short but not too short (for my age, and build, which was good)! I went up a size to make sure there was plenty of room through the hips (for my wonderful pear shape). LOVE the dress and got LOTS of compliments!!!

Holiday Party

I rented this for my husband's work holiday party. This dress is simple, elegant, modest, slimming, but most of all comfortable. I wore the 16, even though I usually wear a 14. The 14 was slightly snug, the 16 was perfect. I rented a clutch purse that had a optional strap (Sondra Roberts Silver Crystal Minaudiere) from RTR. I found black satin heels with bling on foot strap by Nina (Nordstrom).

Super comfortable dress that I got so many compliments on.

I usually wear a size 6 dress but typically with a waist or empire style and one that has a fuller skirt due to my bottom being one size larger than my top. This size 8 was perfect and allowed me to wear a column dress which I loved. The collar has it's own jewelry so all I needed was earrings and a bracelet to accessorize. I loved the way the top flowed and did not accentuate my tummy!

Red hot

This dress was a replacement dress that RTR shipped to me, and it was perfect! I got tons of compliments on it, and felt wonderful in it all night. It was easy to dance in, and I had no problem sitting with the neck being tight as a few other reviews mentioned. I would definitely rent it again.

Flattering and comfortable

I didn't like it on the hanger, but this dress is great on! A comfortable (and tummy-forgiving) fit that you can relax in but is still shapely. I could have used a little more room under the arms (it cut in a bit) but it wasn't really a problem and there was no chance of my bra showing, which was good. I loved the drape, the length, the quality of the fabric and the color. I got loads of compliments and felt great, this might be my favorite RTR find yet!

Loved this dress - got loads of compliments on how pretty it was and how good it looked on me.

Fit was true to size - I normally wear an 8 - I recently lost a couple of pounds and the 6 was just a little too tight. Could have worn it but wanted to make sure I was comfortable as it was an extremely hot day and I knew I would be dancing all night. Neckline is very flattering and didn't have to worry about a necklace.

I was nominated for an award for a nursing banquet. When you are used to wearing basically pajamas and tennis shoes daily getting dressed up can be daunting. This dress and RTR made it fun and easy.

Birthday dinner made extra special by this beautiful red dress!

Loved this dress so much I wanted to keep it! I thought it was very forgiving in the belly and bust, and as a woman that wears a 34DDD bra that is really important. I paired this dress with some Valentino look-alike rock stud nude heels. Very comfortable, though you need to take care when you sit so that the neckpiece doesn't strangle you! I will definitely rent again in the future.

Sunset on the beach

I wore this dress to a beach restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. I added silver bling sandals and was ready to go. I loved that I didn't have to worry about additional jewelry because the neckline jewels were so beautiful. My husband told me that he saw several women admiring my dress and he thought it was beautiful on me.

Curvy girls size up and you will have a winner

I am a true 14 in regular retail. I also have big boobs and big hips. After reading the other reviews, I decided to order a 16, and am so glad that I did! This dress was a hit and I kept getting told that I looked like a movie star all night. Winning!

Great dress for formal Christmas party

I ordered an 8 and 10. Ended up in the 10, but honestly could've gone for a 12. The dress was super flattering, but sitting down was hard given the choker at the top and how tight the dress was. If I'd been in a bigger size, I don't think it would've been as much of an issue. Overall, I loved the dress and got so many compliments throughout the night.

Simple and Elegant

I have very difficult dimensions to dress well, and surprisingly this dress was the perfect fit! I have a large bust, carry my weight around the middle (#apple), yet am short and petite. This dress did not gape under the arms, had plenty enough room in the bust (but not so much it looked baggy; I think the pleats in the twist help with that), and was an appropriate length. I did find it a little snug in the waist. I had to wear spanx in order for the seam not to show in the middle of the dress. One other thing to note is that there is no slit in the skirt, so getting in and out of the car was a bit difficult. All in all, I was very pleased with this dress and got lots of compliments!

Bigger hips/butt beware!

Wore this to a wedding and got tons of compliments. I can wear between 10-14 depending on the dress but had to wear the larger size because it fit better in the hips. It was a little roomy in the waist but still looked fine. Not much give in the fabric so if you're curvier or bottom heavy (hourglass or pear) you should size up.

Just awesome!!!

This dress is gorgeous! I wore it to a fundraiser ball, and I got a ton of compliments. Although it fit much more snug than I'm comfortable with the right body shapers I was able to camouflage some of my "imperfections". I recommend if you're a curvy girl, like myself, size up. Also, the beading is a chrome charcoal grey color. While it wasn't a huge deal, I would have chosen a silver shoe had I been able to tell ahead of time. Overall, a good experience. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Perfect for a summer cocktail party!

I wore this to a work event recently. The color of the dress and the beaded neck piece were the main selling points for me. I normally wear a 4 and got a 6 for backup. The dress fit me perfectly in my bust and hips, but was a tad loose in the middle. Depending on your body type, you may want to go a size up. Otherwise, it was very comfortable and perfect for the occasion!

Stunning

I felt so pretty and got tons of compliments! The red is a show stopper. The top and bottom is form fitting, but the middle is relaxed. You can breathe! And EAT! The only reason I gave it four stars is that the neck chokes you when you sit down, so you have to adjust when you are seated. I rented this twice, I loved it so much!

Everyone else was in a black or dark color dress....Yup! I stood out!

All told, I tried 3 dresses. This was the charm. If you work out your arms and want to show them off, this is the dress. It fit perfectly and at an event where most wore black, I, and the dress, were really noticed. May have to rent this again. I want to also say that my first choice did not work at all. the option to replace with two others got me the perfect choice. Like that about Rent the Runway! When I typed in the site that I was sending the first dress back, I was given the option that if I picked two more before 6:00 PM on Thursday, the would get them to me by 8:00 PM on Friday..and the event was Saturday. It all worked out!

Worn for a company Christmas party. It was a huge hit, and I got compliments on it all night.

My bust is on the larger side (36D), so I was mainly worried about that part fitting. Turns out, I didn't need to worry at all - with a strapless bra, it fit just fine. The neckline and the hips/thigh area are a little tight when sitting down, but I was able to adjust the dress to make it comfortable to sit in. I loved this dress, felt great in it, and wish I could have kept it for a holiday party the next weekend.
