The dress was a little big in my waist but fit me perfect in the chest area. If you have a larger chest size I recommended this dress because its easy to find a bra that works with it. The dress was comfortable and I felt great in it all night. When I received it the color was more green then I expected it to be but I actual liked it better then I did in the picture. Its the first time I rented a dress and from know on it will be the only thing I will do and Rent the Runway will be the only place I look to get a dresses for a  black tie event!!!

As a pregnant lady with giant boobs this was far too revealing to wear out even with fashion tape. I actually dont think anyone with a sizeable chest could get away with wearing this unless you had the most perfectly perky breasts in the world. 
Fit was a bit large but comfortable. Material is heavy. the 12R that i rented was at my ankles and I am 5'5" thus not a floor length. It totally would be a great 'bump friendly' dress if the top wasnt so low cut. I really wanted this to work out but with the plunging neck there was just no way.
The color is emerald and not teal-ish blue.

This dress was great for my event.  The "V" is pretty low and I had to use tape in order to cover everything.  It also is green, and not the aqua blue seen in the picture! 4" heels made the dress a little bit short, which never happens to me since I'm only 5'2". But it was a great dress that I enjoyed wearing very much.

I am almost 6 months pregnant and rented another dress for my event, however, due to the band around the waist being too tight, the dress did not fit. I was super nervous because I did not have time to go out and get another dress since my event was the next day. I called RTR right away and was overnighted this dress free of charge! The dress is beautiful.. I rented a size 12L to accommodate my ever growing belly. Usually I wear a size 6 or 8. I cannot comment on the real fit of this dress since I am not normal size right now. However, the color was gorgeous. The cut was very bump friendly. I am 5'7" and the long worked great with 4" heels. You could see the tips of my toes, but in the back the dress touched the floor (probably because of my belly). The neckline is extremely low, but I was able to pin it and wear a regular bra without a problem. The material is also a little heavier than I expected, but overall I was very please with this dress. Thank goodness RTR came through!

super comfortable too! the long version was just a tad bit too long.... i am 5'9. but i think the regular version would have been too short. very baggy in the chest area. i am a 36D and it was baggy on me. a little pinning was necessary since the dress was too heavy to hold the tape provided. overall, loved it!

It is a VERY deep plunging neckline. I am more on the bustier side, so I had to pin the dress so it wouldn't show too much. The fit was great, even a little loose so go with normal size and size down. Very comfortable dress and pretty color.

Overall, I loved this dress. The color was beautiful and I got so many compliments. I did, however, have to pin the cleavage area because it was a bit big. I read some other reviews and I agree that it does run large. I ordered a 6 and and 8 and it wasn't even a question that I would wear the 6. Also I'm about 5'10" and the size "long" was not quite as long as I would have liked. You could just see my shoes under it. Good thing I had already decided to wear flats.

I loved wearing this dress.  It was simple and comfortable yet the neckline drew attention to all the right places!  This dress was long on me as I am 5'2" so I did trip on it a couple of times.  I paired it with some gold earring and a gold Grecian style bracelet.  I would definitely rent this dress again!

What kind of bra did you wear with this dress?

Hi Emily! You should be able to wear a strapless bra with this dress!

I was and am still absolutely in love with this dress, but it definitely wouldn't work for everyone.  A few things to know going in:
1. This dress runs big! Personally, I was counting on that, but definitely something to keep in mind when ordering. Size down.
2. The long length was perfect for me at 5"9', even when I slipped into flat sandals later in the evening. 
3. Also, this is really, REALLY low cut. I have a small bust so it was great for me, but I would say if you are ANYTHING above a small C, this could be an issue. I had to wear fashion tape. 





How many inches do you believe that your shoes were? I'm worried about the same thing!

Hi Tiffany! If you are 5'4" we recommend wearing a 1-3 inch heel. If you are planning to wear a heel that is 4 inches or higher then I may suggest ordering the Long as as back-up!

I'm 5'4" and was worried about ordering a long dress but it all fit perfectly with the right shoes. The fit is great and the complementary double sided tape came in handy.

loved this in pictures, but fabric wasnt what i was expecting. it also runs very large. i couldve gotten a 6. deep plunge and long length was perfect! pretty color

Karrie, I wore sandals with a small 2" or so wedge heel.  The gown didn't hit the ground but it grazed it.... perfect length.

I really enjoyed wearing this dress.  It ran just a little bit large, so I wore the smaller size of the 2 that were sent.  I did have to pin the neckline closed at the bust in order not to flash my bra.  It may have been loose at the top bc I am pretty flat-chested, but I think even girls with a bit more curve might still have to pin it or use stylist's tape.  Also, thankfully, the seam under the bust was higher than shown on the model in the picture.  It looked cleaner and better fitting because the waist was accenuated better.  Even with that, it was a gorgeous dress!!  The color was stunning and photograped really well.  I wore it to a bridal luncheon for my sister and it was perfect.  I wore it with simple, more casual shoes and loosely curled/wavy hair.  You could also easily dress it up for a more formal event.  I was really happy with this rental!
