'Gentleman Prefer Blondes' Marilyn Monroe Vibes

This dress is gorgeous and fits like a glove (and comfortably, too!). It's extremely well-made: has a popping red liner (so great with the slit) and an interior silicone band around the top (no slipping). The lines of the dress, the color, contrast, and the bow in the back make this dress a stunner! I got so many compliments.

Felt like a vintage movie star!

This dress fit beautifully. The color is gorgeous and very flattering silhouette for an hourglass shape as it nips in good at the waist. Plenty of room for the 38DD girls, even a little extra. There's a decent amount of stretch so it was also comfortable. Will definitely rent again!

Amazing holiday stunner

Fit perfect. Length almost too long but it worked. I'm 5'7 so I'm always in btwn reg and long length cuz I cant function in too high heels. The colors were vibrant and I got so many compliments. Liked the straps to help keep it up.

Great dress for large bust!

I'm 2 months post-partum and finding a dress to fit my bust comfortably was near impossible but this dress did the trick. The L was perfect with heels that had a small platform. If you have bust problems definitely try this dress.

An absolute showstopper

This dress was a game changer. It fit absolutely flawlessly and I got compliments all evening. Very comfortable aside from some boning in the chest that is made of wire, but I didn't really feel it that much. It's so much prettier in person, and it gives chestier girls like me plenty of support and coverage. 10/10

Pretty dress to stand out at a black tie event! Elegant and feminine.

Fit was comfortable and fitted. I am a 6 up top and 6/8 on bottom and the 6R was perfect. I am 5'2" and wore 3 inch heels, the slit made it easy to walk, and the dress just brush slightly in the back, so length was perfect! Easy to dance/move/sit in. Straps are indeed loosey goosey and annoying, they wouldn't stay tight for whatever reason. Wore it with strapless bra and spanx thong.

I absolutely loved wearing this gown. the bodice is a fully boned corset with no room for negotiation. The skirt is a little more forgiving. If your ribcage is a trouble spot for you (as mine is), be prepared to go up a size.

Big Bow

This dress was absolutely gorgeous - the color was so bright and beautiful! My favorite part was the big droopy bow in the back! It's pretty form fitting so if you're a little curvy in the hips like me then I'd wear spanks or some other control underwear. Also, I'm an a-cup and there was a lot of extra room in the top - it wasn't a problem though. Lastly, the straps kept losening throughout the evening so I had my husband continuously tighten them. Overall, I highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful dress!

Hard to move in and a little loose on top but was called Jessica Rabbit all night! Definitely a show-stopper. This is the reason why Rent the Runway makes so much sense, you can rent the most beautiful gowns for one event!!! ps: it will make your butt look great.

Glamorous dress!

I wore this to a black tie event and it made me feel hot off the red carpet. The event was a Sweetheart Ball and I was nervous about being too on theme but it was great! I got a ton of compliments and the bow was a big hit. Despite it being form fitting I could move around and dance without any problems. I'm 5'4 and the split fell just above my knee. I wore nude shoes with 4in heels. Loved it!

Gorgeous dress

Rented this dress for a black tie event. It was perfect - the colors are striking and vivid. The fit was great - the material was thick enough to hide flaws. The bow on the back was a fun detail. Received many compliments and felt glamorous in this beautiful dress! Could be hard to dance in, but was great for a dinner and walking around the ballroom. No bra needed if you're smaller chested. Had to steam it because it arrived wrinkled - but looked fine after a steam.

OBSESSED. I felt like a present!

I have never been a fan of red with pink, but this dress changed my mind! It is such a beautiful dress; perfect for a holiday ball! It fit perfectly and was great for dancing! My only complaint is that I would adjust the straps and after a while they would slip back down and have to be adjusted again.

Great color, loose on top

Phenomenal dress, colors so vibrant together and the back now is gorgeous. The sides for the hips allowed for room to move which is great bit the top was a bit loose (had to safety pin since it tighter) and the spaghetti straps kept coming loose

Fun time in a fun dress!

Really liked this dress and got many compliments! I wore it to a Marine Corps ball with my friends. I probably could have fit a 6L as it was a bit large on top for me but no major issues. Was easy to move around in and the long was a good length for me in about 2 inch heels.

It had no hanger appeal to me but once I tried it on I was obsessed! Marchesa has the best fits !

Super glamorous ! The bow in the back was such a beautiful touch ! Very feminine and Marchesa has the best fit for women who are curvy. I am 165 lbs, 36 DDD, 5'3 and the 12 was perfect. This dress does run small because of how the top is made, fits like a glove!

Normally do a black dress but this got attention !

I sized up to a size 6 even though I normally wear a size 4 . It’s pretty snug so there’s no stretch to the dress. I normally feel comfortable and black, so I was a little nervous about pulling off these colors and style. Everyone raved about the dress however I felt very chic.

The dress was a one of a kind. I received compliments the entire night.

The dress run small for big busted figures. I had to go 2 sizes up because of that making the hip area a bit loose but that was fine. Only 1 problem I encountered a few times was the straps. They came loose and my husband had to readjust them.

This stand out "Barbie" dress!

I loved this dress! I received so many compliments all evening! Things to note- this dress is made of a structured fabric so it is not very forgiving, especially through the midsection and hips. The fabric does stretch a little, but not much. The bodice is also very structured with boning and runs a little on the large side. I had to use moderate bra cups to fill the bodice out, but it actually added a buffer for the boning and made the dress more comfortable. This dress is great if your going to be up and moving most of the event- I would not recommend this if you plan to be sitting a lot.

OPAS Gala 2019 theme "Journey to Siam".

The dress was too long and had boning sticking out of the bodice which rubbed my ribs all night long. It was a little big but over all a stunning and unique dress. The bow in the back was a lovely touch. I received compliments all evening.

Most compliments i've ever received!

At first I was a little hesitant on this dress while it was on the hanger but as soon as i put it on i knew it was the one. the top half is a bit restricting so if you have a large chest and small lower half this might not be the one. but for my curvy and pear shapes it's a knock out of the park. the only issue i had were the straps. they have the pull adjustment like a bra but kept loosening through out the night. So my husband and friends had to keep tightening them for me.

Loved this dress for a black tie event. It was super flattering and the colors are gorgeous! However it was a little big in the bust for my 34Bs and the back is too low for a bra.

Pretty & festive

Rented this for a black tie Christmas event, but ended up going with my backup dress instead. Loved this dress, but didn't fit quite as well as my backup dress did. Fun and festive -- perfect for the holidays. Material is thick, so may get a little warm if dancing or wearing during a warm time. I found the waist and bust to run a little large -- I'm usually a true 2, but I think a size 0 might've fit better in this dress. Hope to wear it to another event in the future!

So many compliments & so flattering!

I absolutely loved wearing this dress! I got so many compliments and I love how rich the color is. However, the only issue that I had was that the straps kept slipping down no matter how much I tighten them, my friends would have to be adjusted me throughout the night. It happened multiple times which was pretty frustrating. Still i loved it! It was showstopper and so stunning!

I didn't wear this dress because it was a little "loud" for a black tie wedding, but it's a beautiful dress that fit perfectly. I am a 2-4 and the 4 was true to size. The big bow on the back is really fun too... I love anything Marchesa but decided on a black gown. However def would rent this for maybe a NYE formal event.
