I almost gave this a 5 but did not because the fit is indeed tighter.
I read from reviews that the fit was a bit small on this one and it’s true simply because the dress does NOT stretch and it is thicker.

So I usually would have ordered a M but went for L and had the perfect fit. So many compliments as this dress truly stands out! I wore it as a bridesmaid to a wedding. 

I most definitely recommend this dress, just know that it’s a bit thicker and not stretchy!

I absolutely loved this dress! The detail is so beautiful. I ended up not getting to wear it because I got the stomach flu the day of the event (SUCH. A. BUMMER.), but I would rent (or buy!) it for another time. I would just say that this was very fitted and I probably could not gain more than a pound or 2 and still fit into it. The good news is you don’t need a bra (unless you’re really busty). I’m a 34D and was good braless. Also, I was inspired by another reviewer’s footwear and I honestly think the neon yellow pumps just take this whole look to the next level 🙌🏼 . P.S. I made my husband take this pic the next morning after my recovery because I couldn’t let this gorgeous dress go undocumented! 🤪

Interesting design and very sexy. The pattern gives a nice hourglass illusion even tho I’m not that curvy. Went with another dress because this one felt a bit summery for the winter wedding but would rent again in the future. 

Stunning, thick quality dress that’s perfect for any occasion! Does not have any stretch to the fabric. First true to size, with a small bust. However, this dress comes with a big WARNING!! - The slip lining underneath of the outer blue knit fabric rides up A TON! I was told so many times that my shape wear was showing from my waist down! I even have a photo with the bride where my entire bottom half was showing through the blue knit and I had no idea. It rides up without you even realizing! Be sure to use something reliable that will keep your slip from riding up all night long. Or find a way to connect the two pieces of material together, so there’s no chance of it moving. Aside from the slip issue this dress is full of class! 

I normally wear a size four dress and I'm a size B bra - this dress felt tight in my shoulders and arm pits. A large would have been too big, and otherwise it fit well. 

Got lots of compliments on this dress and felt great wearing it! Ended up wearing it to a wedding and it was really comfortable

Overall I felt great in this dress.  The XS wasn't available, so I wore the Small and it worked out fine.  The dress is flattering and I would rent it again. 

The picture is of me wearing the dress with the zip completely open. It was so heartbreaking to see how gorgeous i Would have looked if this fit me. The large was not available but wouldn't have fit either. I am typically an 8 so this was disappointing 

It's a pretty dress but I ended up going with something else more classic for a wedding. This one was a little messy and I like a more clean look. 

My favorite RTR dress ever! I would have purchased it if the system let me.  It's thick and well constructed but doesn't make you look bulky. The color is vibrant and unique. The see-through parts are subtle enough that I could wear a nude bra and nude bodysuit shape wear underneath without seeing it. Originally, I ordered my normal size (medium) but couldn't even come close to zipping it up. Definitely size up. 

I purchased this dress from Rent the Runway to wear to my 50th birthday dinner/celebration, because...well, it's just magnificent. After reading others' reviews, I decided to size up to a L, despite usually wearing a size 6 in dresses, and I am so glad I did. There's very little give in the dress, and with a 34DD bust, I was pushing maximum capacity. I could have worn it with shapewear, but...meh. It was my birthday, and I wanted to be comfortable! At 5'8" barefoot, I was thrilled that the length of the dress was adequate for me; I find many dresses these days to be too short in the bodice, with the waistband/seam hitting me across the ribcage rather than my actual waist. Fortunately, the proportions of this one were perfect, even for someone who falls into the "kinda tall but not too tall" bucket. I highly recommend this dress if you want to feel like queen for a day!

Pros: fantastic color, good fit, sexy while still being conservative 

Cons: only one, which was that the blue slip underneath would ride up when I danced.

Overall, I would absolutely rent this again.

This dress was super comfortable and totally flattering. The colors on the dress are royal blue and black (I don't really think you can pick up the black from the photo).  Like others mention, you do need to be aware of the under skirt (?) portion as it can ride up when you sit down (so just make sure to adjust as you stand up). I did not wear shape wear underneath but you certainly could if you wanted. Great dress and would highly recommend! 

I've been wanting to rent this dress for a wedding for a long time; I ended up finally going for it because everyone who had worn it looked so good in it!!

It did not disappoint -- I felt absolutely STUNNING in this dress and got so many compliments. It's comfortable and so so flattering. Highly recommend! 

I wore this to a wedding, I wish I could have tried the size down but the 2 fit well. It was very comfortable, I could still dance, and it was a very pretty dress.

The detail and lace are magnificent.  It is the perfect balance of sexy and classy.  The color is amazing.

Tight around shoulders and bust. Not a lot of give or wiggle room. I lovedddddd it though. I received multiple compliments throughout the night. I chose it original for the color and how well I felt it photographed in the other reviews.

The fit was true to size, the color was very unique and it made for a very classy look with a little bit of an edge since the back only has the lace detail! My FAVORITE RENTAL by far! I wish I could keep it! 

Awesome dress. Love the color and got lots of compliments, you definitely have to be careful dancing because the slip underneath is short

I'm 5'2 so the length was a bit long, but with the shortness of the skirt underneath it was perfect! Wish I could own this dress! 

Fit was true to size! The underlying fabric is a little short in the back but overall the dress is amazing! So pretty in detail and flattering! 

Very true to size. Modest silhouette with open back was a beautiful compliment of styles. A great dress to feel classy and beautiful! #wedding #classy #lovethisdress #laceislovely 

It fit like a glove and it was surprisingly easy to move in. 

I got so many compliments on this dress! Absolutely loved it 

People said that this dress looked tailored to me. It is so flattering to a curvy figure. The bold color is a standout. The lace is getting a bit worn and you definitely need a helper for that zipper. This is the third Alexis item I have rented, and I have loved them all.

This dress is perfect for a pop of color during winter months. I felt sleek and sophisticated... it was easy to sit and dance all night in! 

Everything about this dress was perfect. It was easy to sit down in, dance in, walk in, all of it! I received a ton of compliments all night about how beautiful the color was. I rented an XS because I wanted it to fit a little more snug than normal and it worked out great. The sleeves weren't too restricting either! Highly recommend!!

The small fit great, snug in all the right places .. easy to dance in. Other reviews said the lining rode up but I didn't have a problem with it. Beautiful dress and lots of compliments. 

Great fit. Really comfortable. Flattering fit for me. Lots of compliments!

This dress is more form-fitting in the hips/waist region than the bust, I ended up squeezing my hips into the medium, and even though it was a little tight I was able to dance during the wedding with no restrictions! 

So many compliments! I'm 5'4", 34B, a little curvy with a tummy pooch. I ordered both a M and L, and ended up feeling much more comfortable in the L. You can't see a nude bra underneath the lace. Thick lace and thick material made me feel super secure in the dress. I wish I could wear this every day.

Such a fun dress - was a bit nervous about it being too revealing for a wedding but it was ideal. Easy to dance, so much fun to wear. 

Loved this dress rented for a party. The medium fit perfectly, I am 5' 7'' and 140lbs. Wore with sparkly earrings 

I love this dress but it wasn't that flattering on me. I have straight hips and not a lot of curves so this dress looked too straight on me. If I were curvier I would totally have worn it!
