Great for curves girls! Size down!
Thick material and great color. Does show the girls. I'm glad I took the advice of the other reviews and sized down. I ordered one and two sizes down for my size and back up size and ended up in the size 8 and honestly the top was just a tad big at the V in front I wouldn't have minded trying on the 6. Very comfortable dress. I wore with a bright fuchsia jewel tone scarf for church ceremony.

This dress was very high quality and flattering
I am really glad I read the reviews before ordering. This dress runs large. I ordered a size 10 and 4 and was shocked when the 4 fit! I felt really pretty in the dress! It was perfect for a Christmas wedding. I would highly recommend, just make sure you order a smaller size than what you are used to.

The dress is very comfortable but still looks perfect and fitted
The dress does run large I normally wear at 6 and I wore the 4 and even it was a little big on me. However, you couldn't tell by looking. It was very comfortable to wear and forgiving after drinks and food.

Lots of Compliments!
I'm a red head, so I wanted to wear a green dress. I got lots of compliments all night, and the dress was extremely comfortable. I got the same dress in red as a back up but both the red dresses had damage around the neckline so I went with the green. I usually wear a size 8 but due to the reviews I ordered a 6 and a 4. The 6 became unavailable but thankfully the 4 fit great. I got to wear a regular bra and no spanx were necessary! I took off one star because the petal bust line did not lie smoothly. There is a piece of metal sewn into the dress that is supposed to help it lie flat but there is also a liner so it sort of turned inside out. I could have used style tape, but it wasn't super noticeable so I just left it. I wish I had had a skinny silver belt to jazz it up a bit and accent my waist but I still thought the was beautiful without it. Another great experience!

Great color, comfortable, flattering, and sexy without being over the top.
This dress was fantastic! I am a 12 sometimes 14. The 12 was almost too big on me, and probably would have been had I not worn a push-up bra (I'm a 36C). The fabric was heavy enough to smooth out bumps, but was breathable and not too heavy to dance in. I was able to wear a bra with straps, which is always nice! My sister is a couple inches shorter than me and is a size 8. She tried on the 10 for comparison, and it overwhelmed her frame a little, and not just because it was a little big. Ladies under 5'7 be warned.

Perfect Fit for a Perfect Friday
•PROS: Perfect fit for a size 4. I'm usually wearing size 8/10 on regular dresses. So whoever's idea it was to run large and make me feel petite, I'm with it. •CONS: Every girl/mom needs a pocket or two. There were no pockets. That's all. :-)

Love this dress!!
This dress made me feel like a million bucks!! Loved the color and I had worn it before in the navy blue so I knew the 10 was my size. It runs a bigger, and knowing this ahead of time I went with the 10. The arm holes were a tad snug for me, but still did the job! You can wear it with a regular bra and it is very flattering!

Princess Dress!
This dress does run big, I rented and wore the 4 because the 2 was not available. I pined the straps to my bra in the back to keep them from falling. I loved the cut of the neckline and waist, so flattering! And you can wear most regular bras with it!

So many compliments on this dress! Super flattering, hugged where it needed and loose where it needed. I'm typically an 8/10 and I wore the size 4! Definitely follow recommendations and order DOWN a size or TWO so it will fit! Low cut I didn't use tape but may have been helpful. LOVE LOVE this dress!

This was for a St. Patrick's Day dinner event.
This dress is extremely comfortable and not as short as it looks. It runs a bit big so I would definitely get either one or two sizes below your normal size. The coverage of the dress is great as well. It covers your bra completely so you won't have to worry about wearing a strapless or no bra. The material is really thick and just super comfy. I would definitely wear this again and highly recommend it.

Beautiful color, comfortable dress
This dress runs huge!!!!!! I normally wear either an 8 or a 10 and I was comfortable in a 4. If I could have rented a 2 I probably would have worn that instead as the 4 was still slightly loose. The dress was extremely flattering, hugs natural waist, flares out a bit around hips for a slight bell shape. I have a larger bust and the dress still felt slightly large in this area. I was able to wear a regular bra and safety pin the straps to my bra straps to keep them from falling off. I wore this for a Harry Potter Yule Ball themed Winter Formal and it was the perfect green for my house Slytherin. I wanted to keep this dress so badly when my event was over it was a very comfy, very flattering dress.

Glad I read the reviews about it running large-I wore the ten and could have used an 8. Because it was a little big I had to pull the straps up a few times during the evening. However the fabric was really nice and it was very comfy! Also, so happy I was able to wear a normal bra with it! Overall a great first experience with RTR.

This dress was so comfortable, and I got compliments on it all evening!
The dress definitely runs large - I ordered a 12 and then wound up buying a back up dress just in case because I was so nervous about the fit. The 12 fit perfectly! The material is thick which makes it very flattering, but it wasn't hot or heavy. The chest portion definitely runs large - I wear a 38DDD and the dress fit nicely, but moving my arms a certain way resulted in some gaping. I would definitely order this dress again!

I loved this dress, especially the color. I felt great in it, and I got a lot of compliments! But it runs very large!! Make sure you order 2 or 3 sizes down from what you usually wear. I’m normally a size 10, but I wore a size 4 in this dress, and it fit great!

The dress was elegant, comfortable, and a beautiful color perfect for a fall wedding!
I normally wear a size 4, so I was surprised the size 2 actually fit best. It's not the best dress for smaller chests because I still felt it was too loose in that area for myself.

Danceable- comfortable
This dress does run big! I'm normally a 2 or 4 and the smallest size for this dress is a 2. I was SUPER nervous it was going to be big. It was a tad big around my chest but other than that it was a pretty comfortable fit. I got so many compliments and it was an easy dress to wear without stressing about it falling down or anything.

This dress does run large. I normally wear 8/10 but ended up wearing the size 4. It was so comfortable all night and the material was pretty thick. Fitted in the bust and waist and flows out on the hips. I wore it to a formal wedding and was perfect! Would definitely recommend!

My favorite RTR dress!
I've now rented this dress in two different colors because it is so amazing. It definitely runs large, as I wore a 10 and could have easily fit into an 8. It's a bit low cut, but you can wear a normal bra, so it's not an issue for us busty females. The material is great, thick but not uncomfortable for a summer wedding, and the dress is sexy yet classy. You will not be disappointed.

Comfortable and cute
Great dress! It's super comfortable and stretchy. It runs quiet large. I am a 36D so I was a little worried about the sweetheart neckline, but it didn't show too much. I'm 5'3" and it was a great length. It rained while we were at the wedding and the dress did really well in the rain. It dried quickly and you couldn't tell at all. I have a short waste and love handles so it accentuated my waste and the pleats made it look very full on the bottom, which I wasn't expecting. It looked a little more full than I would have liked, but overall this was a great dress! I would definitely recommend it.

Tall and suspicious of this kind of dress because it will make you look like a cupcake ? Fear not! Somehow, somewhere, Slate & Willow got it right. This dress is cute as hell, fits well (although runs a bit big so size down for sure), and would work for farm weddings and nights out alike. Full disclosure: I did not wear this dress but my lovely friend, pictured here, who is 6 feet tall, wore it and loved it and it looked smashing on her.

Confidence through the roof
I don't remember the last time I felt so amazing and confident. I normally wear a 12-16 depending on the brand. I ordered the 10 and 12 in this and ended up in the 10 for the night. It was long enough to be appropriate but short enough to be fun and flirty. I didn't take enough pictures that night and that's the only regret. I received a million compliments that night and was walking on cloud nine. I don't buy a lot of dresses I can't wouldn't wear to work (hence renting this one) but I will definitely be purchasing this dress.

I got alot of compliments on this dress. I think it fit my shape really well and I'm super happy.
The fit was great for my large chest. I think that the detail on the neckline could have been a little flatter, but I think that has to do with the fact that I went a size down for my waist but still had to fit the girls in. I really loved this dress. I'd even rent again!

Fantastic dress!
This dress is wonderful. It's a thick, cushy material that is so comfortable. It hangs beautifully and is so fun to dance in. Not for the faint of heart because it does show a LOT of cleavage but it's still very classy. It hit me just above the knee. I felt like it was a tiny bit big in the waist but the top fit fine. I wouldn't be surprised if I rent this again!

I absolutely loved this dress from the moment I saw it on RTR. It is even more beautiful in person but runs very large. I usually wear a 10 or 12 and even the size 8 was a little too big. I probably could have worn a size 6 and have it fit perfectly. I wore it for my engagement photos and it photographed so beautifully. It was my first RTR experience and it was great!

The dress definitely runs big and I wore the 10, whereas I usually wear a size 12. I absolutely loved the color! It's more dark sea blue than green, and I got a ton of compliments at the wedding I wore it to! I also loved that it was not too short, and it was extremely comfortable for dancing. The dress was perfect for the winter wedding we attended, and I would definitely order it again!

Really pretty dress! I wish the skirt was a little less full. But, I loved the color, the neckline, and the length. The dress definitely runs large as many reviews have said. Received tons of compliments and spread the word about Rent the Runway to some people who've never heard about it.

Stylist Review!
The Hunter Green Petal Dress by Slate & Willow fits comfortably! This dress runs large and provides ample room in the bust and hips. There is great stretch in the fabric so we recommend sizing down for your backup. This item can be worn with a standard bra if necessary. The waist is fitted with zipper support in the back. In addition, this dress was a great mid thigh length with heels on!

Absolutely adored this dress. Everyone at the wedding was obsessing over it. Gorgeous deep green, such a fun and unique neoprene material. Great for dancing, very comfy. Neckline is quite plunging, so bring dress tape or safety pins (it was a little large, so I pinned the lining of the dress to my bra straps). I felt like hot stuff in this dress. Just stunning.

The neckline and silhouette were perfect! I received a ton of compliments. I'd rent this again and in more colors if I could. I paired the green dress with nude heels and gold jewelry. I think this dress would work with any body shape but it especially complimented my pear shape. I typically wear a 4 or 6 so I ordered both and ended up wearing the 4.

Love this fun dress for engagement photos!!
I rented this dress for my engagement photos which were taken in early December. I love wearing green because I have green eyes and I loved the fit of this dress!! It had great movement and I did not feel self-conscious about my stomach in it. It is very flattering. I am so glad I read the reviews on this dress about it running extremely large! I normally wear a size 6 and I ordered a 2 and it fit perfect! So I definitely recommend ordering it about two sizes smaller than you would normally wear. It's very stretchy, which is good. I just wore this for photos but it's absolutely adorable and I would love to wear it again! Great dress for a Christmas party!
