Very comfortable, great for, lots of compliments

I rented this for a wedding. The dress was very pretty and very comfortable. 

I'm normally between a 12 and 14, but the 12 for perfectly. I'm 5 feet tall, but I didn't have bunching in the back like I typically do with dresses that aren't petite. I received a lot of compliments and I was very happy with my first RTR experience. 

The fit was true to size. I went with a 6 and an 8 (at the time I was 145 lbs at 5'7"and 34D). Although the 6 fit, I felt more comfortable in the 8 which gave a bit more room and length. I will definitely rent this dress again :) 

I chose my original dress but this looked great too!

I wore this to a graduation and wanted a dress with modest length but not way down to my knees. It fit really well and the color is bright in person. It was perfect for the occasion but I wouldn't rent it for an occasion where I was going for a hotter look 

I had read that this dress ran big, so I sized down.  I should have stayed with a 6, but I only had a size 4.  The 4 fit but was tight.  It was a beautiful dress though! Perfect for the rehearsal dinner I attended!

This dress is really pretty-- it looks just like the picture! However, I found my normal size to be pretty tight around my bust, so larger chested ladies may want to size up. RTR didn't have a larger size available for my dates, so I made it work, but it's something to keep in mind if you're thinking of ordering this very cute & classy dress!

I wasn't sure if I should go dressy or casual for my event, but this dress works well for either!  I had a lot of fun wearing this!

I don't fit well in dresses with waists. My waist is 2" higher than dresses allow for generally. My boobs tend to be also, so I generally go for dresses that I can easily cinch the straps up 2" on. I risked it this time, but it worked out. I started in the size 8, because it was a touch longer and not as snug. I wore that to the ceremony, and then between the ceremony and the party, my friend told me to try on the 6... which ended up making me feel much more confident, even if it was shorter. It wasn't easy to 'get down' at the wedding with such a short dress, but I'm fairly modest, and I survived! Note that I'm probably pretty pear shaped. I'd recommend this dress for more "straight and narrow" or even 'athletic" builds. It didn't hinder my hips, but I would have loved a belt with it. I was traveling, so.... no belt added on for me :) The high neckline made it so I didn't need a necklace - i went with long earrings instead, and the lace felt fancy enough. In fact, for this particular wedding, I was a little extra-dressed-up in my opinion!! (I could have gone with a nice maxi, lol)

Fit was good. Was going to wear the 4, but it made the lining look too bunchy. In fact, I thought the lining would have appeared bunchy in pics. ( even with the 2), but it didn't at all. Photographed how I hoped it would.
Also, the lining was about an inch shorter than the hem of the outer part of the dress. I saw a review where someone said the lining was longer than the outer part. Which was definitely not the case!

I usually wear a 2 or 4 in dresses. The 4 was huge, and the 2  was great.  Comfortable and left room for dancing comfortably! It was a very light dress, which was perfect since it was 95 and humid at the wedding! I didn't think it was the most flattering on me, but I got lots of compliments :) I would definitely recommend.

I normally wear 6-8, though I may have lost a little weight recently. The 6 was too large and the 4 fit perfectly, so I'm glad I sized down for my back up. It was beautiful and relatively comfortable. I didn't have any real problems with the lining, and the color was true to the photos. It may not have been THE most flattering for my body type (I have a pretty square torso),  but I thought it worked really well. Normally I gauge a dress based on how many compliments I get, but I wore this under my graduation gown almost the whole time so I couldn't say this time.

Definitely runs large, I'm glad I read the other reviews and went with a smaller size. Doesn't look like much on the hanger, but looks great on and in photos. I had read a previous review of the size 12 which mentioned that the liner hung lower than the top layer and was bummed that RTR hadn't fixed that before sending it to me. My Mom had to hem the liner in the front, but it looked great after that. 

Dress runs large, I loved the color and the quality was top notch. I just felt it didn't flatter me that much. I am curvy and I don't think where the dress cut, along with it being a little big, worked very well on me.

I rented this to wear to a baptism where I was the god mother. I read reviews and knew it ran large. I typically would wear a 12 (on a good day), wanted to rent a 10 & 12, but the 10 was not available. 

The 12 came and was large. I contemplated making it work, but then I noticed the lining rand longer than the dress. Too big and the extra lining made me look sloppy in this, so I opted for something else I had in my closet. 

I normally wear a 6/8, but got a 4 as a backup size after reading other reviews. I fit into the 4, but went with the 6 because the 4 rubbed a bit under the arms. Pretty and comfortable - plus the red stands out great!

The fit was true to size, and this dress was so very comfy. 

The fit was perfect, not tooo tight and not too big. It was such a wonderful color that you dont normally see. I would rent this dress again!

I wear between a size 4 and 2 in dresses. I ended up wearing the 2, although both fit. The dress is extremely comfortable and easy to wear. I love love loved it!

I ordered the 6 and the 4, but I normally wear a 6. I tried the 6 on first and thought it fit OK. The nude liner was peeking out below the coral crochet hem, so I would have had to pin or fashion tape it to match. I then tried on the 4 and the hem was perfect and it fit as well, so I decided to go with the 4. I received so many compliments and felt fantastic all night! I would definitely recommend this dress!

Fits well.  Needed help zipping it up.  wore with black heels and used a black handbag.   Not too short, I was able to sit it in and still feel comfortable.  Showed off my figure, which is hard because I am pretty straight up and down.  Would recommend this dress!  I liked it because it had color and was not plain, as my usual dresses are.

This dress fits much as other reviewers have described.  The fabric has a nice stretch and it's such a comfortable dress.  I am usually between a 6 and an 8, but the 6 fit me very well.  I was swimming in the 8.  The color is a beautiful corally-red.  I wore nude shoes and a simple necklace.  The only downside was that the crocheted/lace top layer would catch on my bracelet, so I had to take that off for part of the evening.  I didn't want to snag the fabric or create a tear.  It's a lovely dress, highly recommended, and I would rent it again.

I loooved this dress.  Red is my favorite color, and I was determined to wear this dress. I normally rent a 14 with a 12 for back up, so I was nervous even though all the reviews said that this dress ran big.  I am so glad I listened, because it was true.  I got the 12 with the 10 just to see...and I fit in the 10 perfectly!  However, I ended up wearing the 12 even though it was big on top, because the nude slip hung too far down in the back of the dress on the size 10.  But I was very comfortable all night and would highly recommend this dress and definitely would rent it again.

I was worried the 8 would be too small for my 34E bust. It was perfect. This dress made me feel awesome and it was comfy. I'm a true inverted triangle shape the fit was great. I'm usually a 10 but the 8 was perfect.

This dress fits well.  I could have worn the 4, but I liked the looseness of the six because it was a long day.  I loved the length, a couple inches above the knee.  I would definitely rent this again for a not-too-dressy event.

Color was coral not pink. Beautiful! Fit was great and it's so comfortable! Love Rent the Runway and can't wait for my next event!!! So fun! 

The fit was perfect and I felt beautiful and comfortable!

Overall great experience with RTR.  This dress was made well and a great classy, yet stylish dress for a daytime summer wedding.  Hit right at the knee for me as I'm 5'1" and was comfortable and light weight for the summer heat.

This dress is so pretty and flattering.  It's an excellent choice for a taller woman, since most dresses that are "knee-length" end up being minis :)

I received tons of compliments and felt comfortable and happy all night!

Perfect fit, perfect color. Nude shoes were, well, perfect with it! People could not get over this dress and when they found out it was a RTR, they asked if I could buy it because it was seemingly made for me. I got this dress for $25 as a bonus rental since I was renting a formal for the same weekend, and it sole the show.

I got compliments all night on this dress--the color, the lace, the shape--everyone loved it. 

I wore a 10 in order to accommodate my hips and bust (34DDD) and the dress had enough stretch to fit snugly in those areas. However, it then didn't hug as closely to my waist which made the dress a little less flattering than I would have hoped. I thought to try a belt but because the fabric only has a little stretch and an otherwise well defined shape, the belt made the material fold and buckle which was more unflattering than the illusion of a wider than actual waist. 

I would not recommend this dress if you have  a true hour glass figure where your waist is dramatically smaller than your bust and hips. 

This was a great dress for a wedding--it was elegant but not overly fancy, fitted but built for dancing, and a great, fun color. I loved it! The only suggestion I have is to size down... I would have liked it SLIGHTLY more fitted than the 6, which is already on the low end of what I usually wear. Overall tho, great dress.

I loved it.  Really.  I'm not sure what it was -- the red is very red, but it was just loose.  Perhaps if I had ordered down a size I'd feel differently.  I wore it and felt okay.  I think this is a dress that's more appropriate for a work event or church event rather than an evening wedding.  The best part about it is the ability to wear a regular bra.

I rented this for my graduation from my master's program and I was very happy with my choice. It was my back-up dress, so I had to take my chances with one size (2), and luckily, it fit absolutely perfectly. It is the perfect dress for a formal event, very appropriate length, and a nice neckline that allows you to wear a regular bra. It was also totally comfortable, and didn't show a single wrinkle after sitting for hours. I only wish it hadn't been covered up by my graduation gown all morning...

This dress fit perfectly, the color was beautiful and I was comfortable all night.  The dress was a little heavy for warmer weather but not unbearable.  The dress did fit a little large and I had to wear the smaller size.

i wore this to a friends wedding in April and was very impressed with the dress. The fit was great and I honestly felt so comfortable all night long. I'm typically between a 4 and 6 depending on the designer and I easily fit into the 4. I'm tall and wore about 3 inch heals and the length was perfect. You won't regret getting this dress. It will look great with minimal effort.

Perfect dress! I had multiple events for the American Heart Association, and I needed to wear a red dress to all of them. So, rather than buying multiple red dresses, I tried RTR dresses. AMAZING! This dress was absolutely stunning on! I got a ton of compliments! I paired with patent nude heels to complete the look.

This dress was super easy! I loved the red crochet over the nude lining.  The way the seaming detail contours your waist is incredibly flattering. This dress did run slightly big so I would size down for backup and it may be a more difficult dress for petite women. It hit just above my knee. Overall, a great dress for a spring event!
