interesting dress. not your usual black boring thing.
great dress! got tons of compliments. if you are not well-endowed you will need some sort of backless/strapless bra. Color is so fantastic. more bronze than gold. The one issue I had is that I wore sandlas with rhinestones on the strap and the tulle got caught in that a lot. I am 5'5 and the length was fine.

Great gown.
As a short person I was looking for a long gown that didn't overwhelm me. This gown is perfect. The details are beautiful. The back is open so you can't really wear a bra. I would have liked it a bit more fitted but it did work.

Gorgeous, unique dress! THE BACK is so cool!
I love that this dress is neither trendy nor reflective of a specific period of time - it stands on its own as a unique, interesting piece. The BACK is SO cool! I'm 5'5" and wore 3" heels and the length was perfect. Could have wore 2" heels if needed. Get yourself some strappy gold heels and a gold clutch to complete the look! (Can't wear a bra with it because of the back mesh design, so keep that in mind if that's a dealbreaker for you. Super comfy overall but no built-in chest support).

I LOVED this dress! Perfect for our Athletic Fundraising Gala. One-of-a-kind. Many compliments.
This dress fit me perfectly. (5'7", 125lb, 34D). Wish I could've purchased it! I felt Cinderella-ish all evening, comfortable, easy to move, fun, and any heel height would do. Many compliments.

Perfect dress for a murder mystery masquerade!
I was receiving compliments before even walking into the event, and felt stunning in this dress. The shipment arrived at my house several days before I expected it, and returning was really easy as well. I am 5' 3, 115 lbs and wore a 0R. The sleeves were the most restricting part of the dress. I wore 3 inch heels and did experience some difficulty with the lace getting caught on the heels, but overall a great experience. Would definitely rent again!

The bride made it an unforgettable evening, but my RTR dress was spectacular and widely admired.
Definitely size up for this one. I'm normally a size 2 but luckily I knew Marchesa ran small, so I ordered a 4R and just to be safe, a 6R. The 6 fit perfectly.

The fit was perfect. I'm 5 3 and it looked stunning on me. There was not one person at the wedding who didn't make a comment. The color, the hi low and the material was just beautiful. When I danced it just flowed. Never stepped on it. My husband kept saying you look beautiful can you buy the dress. My best decision ever. #wedding #feeling gorgeous #rtr

I loved this dress so much I bought it! I can't even brag enough about how great this dress it! When I put it on it instantly made me look thinner, which is always a win. The material was flowy and elegant. The stitching of the flowers was like a work of art!! All the layover of tulle and lace made it so much more unique and it's even mor gorgeous in person!

This was for a black tie formal wedding and the dress was just perfect for the night
Fit great-loved the length. I am 5'2" and wanted the "hi-lo" because I was skeptical about rented a full length gown because of my height. This worked wonderfully. Undergarments worn was a strapless one piece spanx with bustier.

Favorite dress I've ever worn
I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it on RTR and it did not disappoint. Wore it to a black tie work event and it was perfect - tons of compliments. Fit true to size and incredibly comfortable. Slightly too long in the back, but not so long that I felt a need to hold it or was scared of stepping on it/tripping on it when walking inside (with three inch heels). This was my first RTR experience and the only disappointing thing about it was that I had to send this beautiful dress back!

I needed a strapless bra for this dress, and the chest felt a little small. It was also a tiny bit long, even after wearing 3 inch heels. A petite size might have been too short though. Overall, it fit well and was very comfortable! I wish I could keep this dress!

I got so many compliments on this dress! Gorgeous details without being too loud.
The dress was comfortable and true to size. The length was almost too long, even on the petite. I am 5'2" and wore 2.5" heels and the hem just touched the ground in the back. The high-low hem was a great choice, but I still had to be careful not to catch my heel in mesh. I could not wear a regular strapless bra with this. The strap showed through the sheer back. I had to add an extra strap to make the bra go lower. Overall, I felt beautiful and got tons of compliments!!

I wore this for my son’s outdoor garden wedding in early September.
Very comfortable, yet elegant. It got lots of compliments and was easy to dance in. Best to wear a wedge because there is a mini train in the back and heels can get caught.

Absolutely stunning!
This dress is one of the most beautiful I’ve worn. I had 4 random women approach me at the wedding I attended, telling me how amazing I looked! The dress is unique and truly grabs attention. The lace overlay on the upper bodice is flattering and super classy (be aware that it’s see-through in the back, so you’ll probably want stick-ons). The color is a rich purple/blue that I’d imagine complements many people. And the skirt is flowy and elegant, perfect for dancing. My normal size (6) wasn’t available so I went with the 4, and while it was maybe a tad snug, it looked great and was totally comfortable all evening. (I have a smaller upper frame and sometimes take a 4, so if you’re in that boat, you’ll probably be fine.) Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this dress, and the pictures do NOT do it justice.

Very elegant!!
The dress is beautiful and got lots of compliments. It is much more of a deep blue color than appears in the photos, but that's fine, and the gold leaf made it feel really special. The open back is also very pretty and makes this not at all matronly. The dress fits pretty true to size, perhaps a little loose. Would recommend maybe going down for a backup size, as it definitely looks better when it's close fitting. I wore the dress with 3 inch heels and the length worked well. The lace at the bottom can catch on things -- when I got the dress, it had debris caught in the bottom from the last person, who apparently wore it outside. The lace was also a little bit ripped there, but after I cleaned it up you couldn't see any issues when wearing it. Overall was great and would rent it again!

Beautiful dress for a black tie wedding
I loved this dress- it is so gorgeous as well as comfortable and I wore it for 10 hours at a black tie wedding. I wore 3" heels and the back hem was a bit too long, but it was easy to walk up and down stairs and also dance in it. I wore a NuBra as the lace in the back is see through. Highly recommended!

I so badly want to keep this dress.
The fit was PERFECT. I was worried it would be too long in the back but it wasn't. Skimmed the ground and I'm short- 5'3"!! I received so many compliments on the dress and I am so so so glad I rented it. Now if only I could keep it... the color looked more purple in the photo but it's really almost navy. Just very elegant and classy. Have someone help you with the zipper because there's no way to do it yourself. :)

This dress was fabulous. I wore 2 inch heels and felt the length was perfect. This dress fit like a glove. I didn't mind the sheer back because my bust is small. I wore pasties and it worked great for me. I received so any compliments on this dress, it was stunning. I would wear it again!

This dress is absolutely beautiful! I felt amazing in it and got so many compliments. It's not thin material and I was able to wear it for a winter wedding in Utah without freezing my buns off. It is not stretchy at all and pretty true to size. I'm 5'6 and was between 155lbs and 160lbs and was able to fit perfectly into a size 8.

Stunning, Gorgeous, Comfortable Dress!
I loved this dress. I've never gotten so many compliments..it's a showstopper. Everyone said I looked stunning and I got rave reviews from everyone. Fit like a glove. Only gripe is that it's very hard to wear a normal bra with it because it's illusion on top so I wore a nude bra and you could kind of see it. If you have short hair or an updo it would be noticeable, so you'd need a strapless backless bra.

I got SO many compliments on this beautiful dress! Great for my brother's wedding.
The photos (both Rent The Runway's and mine) don't do justice to this dress, especially the skirt. It is lacy and romantic and beautiful. There are several layers to this dress, which made it look/feel even more glamorous (and expensive!) I wore 1 size larger than I usually wear and I was very comfortable the whole night. I think I might have motivated some new RTR customers when I told them where I got my dress!
