Can't remember what size I wore but I LOVED this dress! Wore it for an Oscar viewing party- perfect bit of glam and coverage of arms and legs :) would rent again any day!

This dress was perfect for an Early October wedding. I was comfortable, stayed warm when outside, and it was super stylish and chic. It was drapey and sophisticated, and while I am typically a small, this was definitely fit on the larger side. 

Beautiful dress, runs a bit big though. Especially on my small frame, even the XS was kind of loose. 

I wore this dress for my birthday surprise, a trip to SF's MOMA and dinner. It was comfortable, good for different  temperatures, and fun! It looked great paired with flat boots and easy to wear all day.

I wish I had a better photo from the night of the event but this one will do. I wasn't expecting the gold polka dots to be as faded as they were but it worked to my advantage as it wasn't too "flashy". The fit was very flattering for my body type and elongated my short torso. The one tiny thing I would change was how high the slit was. Again, it wasn't a horrible thing BUT too revealing for the event I was attending... Nothing a safety pin couldn't fix! 

Fits great.  Very comfortable.  It is gathered at the waist with a tie but doesn't balloon out and add volume which is great.  Would suggest wearing a slip underneath on a windy day.  Very elegant.  The polka dots are a glittery metallic color  (not white) but very subtle.

Light and comfortable dress, great fit. Some of the gold at the sash was slightly worn off. I used fashion tape to secure the slit at the thigh. Very ladylike and beautiful dress, perfect for my hourglass shape. Made me feel very glamourous!

This was nice for Christmas Eve, because the polka dots have a silver sparkle, and the waist is not fitted, so you could eat all the apps m, dinner, and a couple cookies and not feel restricted! I added a gold belt at the wait to up the sparkle. 

As all the reviews before me mention, the top does have a lot of room and there is a clasp in case you don't want to show too much. There is not that much give around the waist and yes, be careful when sitting as it does expose a lot of leg. Otherwise this dress is a great! I would definitely rent this again for any occasion. 

I ordered two dresses to wear to the opening night of my daughter's opera premier and chose this one because it looked formal and was so comfortable. I knew I'd be running around back stage helping her before and after her performance and at the cast party and this dress looked great all night. I also loved knowing that I was wearing a small...so I'd say it runs a bit big. 

This dress is bump friendly, I am currently 7 ½ months pregnant and fit into the medium with no problem. The neckline is beautiful and the material is just as nice. The slit in the front makes it feel a little sexier. I loved it and would recommend to anyone who is expecting. Even if you are not pregnant but don't want something super form fitting this is a very nice option. 

Rented for a wine auction. Easy to wear and another RTR winner. If this is ever for sale I would buy it. Two issues (but still worth the 5 star rating): gold polka dots are very faded and dress is NOT 100% silk--tag says 100% polyester 
Top is blousy not frumpy or too large. Overall great dress even for my petite frame!

This was a great dress for the 50 degree weather down the Cape in early May- got a ton of compliments and everyone was freezing and jealous of my sleeves! The medium was a little tight on the shoulders/arms but fit well everywhere else, but the Large was just more comfortable even though it was a tad big on my shoulders and bust. I used fashion tape per advice from other reviews for the front as it was a bit windy and without it I might have flashed everyone. The polka dots are almost a very fine glitter that was a little warn in a few places but nothing very obvious or noticeable. I paired the dress with a teal clutch, black/teal open toed heals, teal bracelet and small gold studs. 

i loved wearing this dress. it's not the most flattering thing on me, given my height i suppose. i'm fairly short waisted with a bigger bust for my size, so the fact that this dress is very roomy on top didn't help me. however... heels helped. and i loved the over all shape so much i decided i didn't care that the top made me look bigger! i wore it 3 times in a week to 3 different events. i'll keep it on my 'rent again' list too. PS:  that is the Zac Posen bag, also rented.

This dress is so awesome! 
Runs very large, so get the smallest size you can imagine yourself in. 
Large at the top, but that's the way it's supposed to be. I added a belt to highlight the waist. 

This dress was glamorous & comfortable - perfect for a formal event. 

The bust of this dress was a little too large but the rest of the dress was true to size. Overall, I was very pleased with the dress. It was very comfortable and a refreshing alternative to traditional formal dresses. 

I would have given this 3.5 stars, if that was an option. The dress was ok - good even - but not great. The fit was just OK for me. A little tight in the top (I'm a 38 C/D, after baby) but maybe a little loose in the hips which made me look bigger than I am. The belt almost seemed like an after-thought and did nothing to improve the look, in my opinion. I almost wore it without, but you could see the belt loops and I didn't like the way it looked. I dressed this down slightly with black tights and booties. If you were not wearing tights (and honestly, even if you are), you MOST DEFINITELY need some fashion tape, or else the slit in the front will show everything. Beware a strong breeze. Overall, a pretty dress that just didn't do too much for me or my figure. 

This dress is so lovely. I have a rather large chest and because I do CrossFit, my shoulders and arms have become much larger. This dress fit perfectly, which is something spectacular because I am always looking for a dress that will flatter my chest (minimize it) and still fit my arms and shoulders. It lays so well and elongates the figure and shows the legs (oo-la-la!) I also wore it in Florida, which was rather warm, but the dress breathes beautifully!

Beautiful dress. Good for large-busted women. The dress did run very large (I usually wear a S/M, but ordered this in an XS) so I recommend sizing down. The one con about this dress is that it is VERY hot--definitely not a warm weather dress. I wish that it was lined in a different material. 

Ended up loving this dress! When I first tried it on, I wasn't sure how flattering it would be, but after hair, make-up, and a good pair of heels, I felt great!

This dress is very pretty.  The neckline is flattering without being too revealing. The fabric looks dressier in person because the polka dots sparkle.  I went back and forth between the medium and the small, and ended up picking the small because the medium was too baggy. The reason I went back and forth is because of the slit.  It is no joke! It goes right up the front, so this dress is VERY leggy when you walk.  For a work gala, I was a little worried.  I ended pinning the lining so it wouldn't open so much when I walked.  Some people would find it sexy... I might just be too bashful about showing that much leg.  Otherwise, this dress was a total hit.  Also very very comfortable.

I received many compliments and love how it looked in pictures. The top was very baggy which I wasn't crazy about and I wish it had come with the belt. I really liked the high low skirt

I felt so great in this dress.  The top is a little big and I was unsure about it at first when I tried it on, but with some maneuvering I was able to get it to sit right and I loved wearing this dress!  Compliments all day and my mom (who is very hard to please) even said she LOVED the dress! When I said its rent the runway, she said she wanted to buy it for me she liked it so much.  Wore it with a little leather jacket outside and it looked great!  Must rent!

This dress is really baggy, especially the top. It had belt loops, but didn't come with a belt. I wouldn't recommend this dress if you're short. I'm 5'4" and it was too much material. Also, the polka dots are gold. I like the idea, it just wasn't one of my favorites.

Runs a little big, especially on the top. Button closure keeps from being too revealing. Slit in the front is a little high, you have to pay attention when you sit. Overall a great option, could see it working well for all sorts of events. Happy with this rental. 

Fits true to size. Did run fairly long for my frame but I'm used to it! The dress was sent without the belt but RTR overnighted me one so it all worked out! 


I was hesitant about renting this dress- it was not something I would normally wear but was drawn to it. As other reviews said, this does run large. I am normally between a size 6-8 and  the small fit perfectly. 

It was different and sexy but very classy- so many compliments! 

Loved feeling classy and sassy in this stylish dress.  Wore it to a quiet date night with my fiance before our destination wedding in the Florida Keys.  It fits great -- even better if you remember to button up the back closure!  Whoops.  Mine didn't have a belt when it showed up.  Paired it with tall red suede platforms.

Pros: The dress is the perfect length for low heels. I am average height and do not like wearing heels in general so it was great to be able to pair this dress with some fun, strappy, heels. The belt helps add shape to what could have been a "tube-like" dress. I love the sheer sleeves too! The metallic dots are not overwhelming which makes it easy to pair with jewelry as well.
Cons: The top is a little baggy for us smaller chested ladies but it doesn't gape in the front so much as it slips off of your shoulders. Also, be careful when sitting down - the slit/fold in the front will come apart when you sit. But as long as you cross your legs, it will be okay as long as your fine with showing a lot of leg.

The style of this dress is amazing! Wore it during Oscar weekend and would have felt like the prettiest girl in the room, but the frumpy bust is not great. It looked like the dress didn't fit but I got the smallest size!

I ordered a M, but ended up wearing the S. I loved the fit - it was easy to dance in and was comfortable all night long. I would rent this dress again for another event!

I love this dress. I wore this dress with lace underneath and left the v neck unbuttoned. I got so many compliments on Valentine's Day from males and females. It was elegant and classy but still super sexy. 

The tie around the waist is sown into the back so I did have to do some adjusting throughout the night but it was worth it. 

I will save to own this dress! 

I am a 32DDD and the XS covered my bust without squishing at al. Also I don't have a model flat stomach but this dress gives and doesn't pinch, but is also tailored so it doesn't look like you're wearing a bag or sporting a pooch! Great option for women with curves!

very easy to wear, some reviewers mentioned the belt was missing, but my dress had the belt. I ended up using a safety pin to secure the top rather than the snap so I could wear it a little more low cut. Loved the length. 

As others said, slightly tight on the shoulders when putting it on / taking it off. Mine was also missing the belt although the elastic waist was enough to cinch it in. Those things didn't bother me at all as I felt the dress was extremely flattering and comfortable. I wish I could have kept the dress! This was my first rent the runway experience and I definitely will be back for more! :)

Fit was perfect. It was super comfortable and sexy. I wore it to a black tie dinner. Had lots of compliments. 

I am usually a size medium for most dresses, but the MR size of this dress was not available for the dates I needed, so I decided to gamble and rent the SR and get the LR as the free backup. After trying on both sizes I decided that the LR was too big, since as other reviewers have mentioned, there is a lot of fabric in the top. Even though I have a larger bust, the LR size had too much fabric to look good on me. The SR fit, but was a little tight around the arm and hip areas. I did have to adjust the chest area to have it lay nicely, and I did have to be careful when sitting because the wrap skirt could fall open. I decided to wear the SR, though if I rent again, I would try to get the MR to see if it fits better than the SR. I wore nude tights, short black boots, and simple jewelry to keep the outfit more casual since the NYE party was at a house, but i think it could also look great with strappy heels. I got many compliments and I will definitely try to rent it again for another occasion. 

I wore this dress to  New Year's Eve party.  It was perfect.  Everyone loved it, and I felt great in it.  The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because the medium was too tight on my shoulders, but the large was a bit loose everywhere.  It still looked great, though.  It was comfortable and I loved the sleeves- and the low neckline and high-low hem added a little something.  I wanted to buy it!  

This dress is so fun. The cut is totally different from any other dress I've rented, and it's such a cool little black dress alternative. The top is very loose - I'm pretty busty and at first I put on my biggest push-up to try and fill it out, but it ended up looking much better when I put on something without padding and just let it fall. The waist and sleeves hit at the perfect spots. The slit was also a little more dramatic that I anticipated, especially when I was sitting down, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. I would absolutely recommend this dress.
