Go up one size
I have a small waist and it was only tight around the waist. I was able to still wear it, but would have been super comfortable if I went up one size! Love how flattering it looked on my hourglass body shape

Pretty dress
I got lots of compliments, made me feel very girly, perfect for a dinner party at a nice restaurant. Fit snug, not much room to spare. I probably could have gone up to a 10 for a bit more breathing room but I liked it a lot!

Pretty, no fuss dress. I belted the waist to bring it in, it was fairly loose. I would prob try sizing down if I ever rented this again in hopes of avoiding the belt. Length was perfect, IMO

Such a pretty print
This dress is so pretty, and easy to wear. I’m not sure I love it enough to keep it, but I would rent it again. Great length if you are tall. A bit low cut, but nothing that required a cami.

Pretty and Flowy... Almost frumpy but not.
Because it is fitted through the waist, this was very pretty...On some it the pattern may feel a little on the frumpy side, but I liked it...It was perfect for an outdoor fall harvest party. A belt helped tie it together...

I am 5'0" and this dress was about an inch above the ground without wearing shoes. Wore to an early fall wedding and it was perfect. The fabric is high quality and won't wrinkle, more luxurious than I thought based on the photo when ordering

Received many compliments! Comfortable and lightweight material.
I'm usually a 2 but sometimes a zero- this fit well. I'm pretty short so wore 3 inch wedges and it hit mid calf. I was attending a more conservative outdoor wedding ceremony so this having sleeves, being long and a lightweight material all worked out really well!

Not only was the dress super comfortable, the fit was great. I wore this to my sister's baby shower and got many compliments. It's June in South Carolina, which means it's hot and humid already. The material was light and breathable, so it was perfect. The boho style was exactly what I wanted for a midday shower.

Accentuates waist, fitted in chest, flowy on bottom. I styled with strappy heels for an event. Rented again and wore a leather jacket over with booties. So tempted to buy, really love it and get so many compliments!

Loved this dress for the flow of the fabric and the beautiful flowers. It fit true to size with the no stretch. It was most tight in my shoulders and loose everywhere else. I do not think this is for very busty ladies. I got lots of compliments.

Flattering and classic
Got this dress for work and wasn't the most excited when i ordered it but then I put it on - an instant favorite! I wore it on a casual night out and didn't have to wear a bra (score) and was so comfortable all night. The cut is so classic and flattering with such a cute print. Will definitely be wearing this one a lot in the next few weeks!

Pretty, flowy, perfect for hourglass figure
I'm usually between a 12 and 14 and this 12 fit like a glove!! I'm an hourglass figure and his was incredibly flattering for my smaller waist--because of the kimono sleeves and the mid-level bust, it's not incredibly revealing, which is really nice, but was fitted across the back comfortably. The skirt flared out and was breezy without being too dramatic. The whole thing is lined and I seriously thought about keeping it, except that my timing brought it during a just-too-hot week. I'll want to rent again in the early fall or late spring!

Stylist Review
I love this feminine dress by Slate & Willow! Running true to size with no stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and loose at the hips. It works for all cup sizes, so you are not able to wear a standard bra with this dress. At 5’6”, the length hit tight above floor length on me with heels. The pattern on the dress is amazing in person and I would rather wear this dress with white sneakers for a casual outing. It's really light and comfortable; an easy closet staple!

Makes me feel like a garden party!!!
This is a great dress that fits perfectly although it does run one size large. I am always a straight up size 8 but in this particular dress I wore a six perfectly. I was worried this would be too low cut but it is not. It runs a little long in the back scraping the ankles. I'm 5'6" tall. Looks amazing with the Kate Spade necklace that is also offered by rent the runway.

Wore at a conference and received SO many compliments!
I am in between a size 0 and 2, ordered the 2 and I would say this ran big for me personally. The 0 would have fit better but was still worked great for a work event. Someone even commented "you look like a breath of fresh air in that dress"! I wore with tan booties and received tons of compliments. I also plan to share via my IG Dietitian Deanna.

Didn't love it on myself
I wanted a flowy, long-ish, summery dress that would fit my petite frame without dragging on the ground, and also cover my arms. While I wasn't 100% in love with this dress, it fit the bill; however, in pictures, I really felt like I looked like I was wearing curtains (see 2nd pic for Who Wore it Best). Pros: True to size (I am currently 155 lbs and normally wear a Medium or 8P/10P in dresses), I liked the v-neck and the hi-low hemline that worked well on my Petite frame (5'1"), the floral pattern was cute, the fabric was soft and flowy, and it was easy to wear a normal bra (36C) and shapewear (Nike bike shorts in my case). Cons: No stretch, so it was tight along the waist/stomach, and the cut did not flatter me (gave me no waist)

Definitely not a maxi, but I am about 6', so the highest part hit around my knee. Cute enough for Easter and a bridal shower. Sleeves were a bit odd but wore a sweater over it, otherwise, cute and comfortable!

Too small around the waist
Rented a 10 for my mom, who is a 10. The reviews say try to size but it was too small around her waist, and the v neck was too low to remain modest. Dress was so tight she couldn't wear a tank underneath to remedy the low neck.
