Overall, really beautiful and flattering. The top was too big for me, but double-sided tape worked to keep it up.

I wore this dress for my rehearsal dinner, and it was great.  The length was just fine on my tall frame, and the fit was comfortable.  The lace on the top edge tended to fold over, but this wasn't a big issue.

Fit great looked great. Perfect for my bridesmaid luncheon and conservative length. Only issue was the top of the sweetheart neckline kept drooping down, maybe it was just too big up top but I used double sided fashion tap to attach it to my chest and that worked just fine.

Loved this dress!!! Another RTR success! The dress is true to size. At times I found myself pulling the dress up, but is normal for wearing a strapless dress.

I rented a 2 and a 4.  This was the second to last day of eating and drinking in NYC for a week, I wanted to be sure that it fit.  I went with the 4 and wish that I had chose the 2.  It fit really well but was a little bit loose around the bust and waist.  I had to pull it up towards the end of the night and I'm a 32 C.  Loved the dress so much though, it looked great and was comfortable.  

Beautiful Lace. Received so many compliments on this dress. It felt like I was pulling it up a lot during the night, but still felt very pretty and loved the dress!


The fit:
I am larger in the boob area and this dress had the perfect amount of structure up top that I didn't even have to wear the "dreaded strapless bra" underneath it! I normally wear a size 6 and was able to squeeze in a 2 with no bra. The 4 would definitely have worked if I wore a bra with it. Keep in mind that this dress loosens up a little bit throughout the course of the night, or day, or whatever you wear it for.

The look:
Sweet and perfect. The color is amazing and the lace/cutout detail is to die for. I did not want to give this dress back!

The length:
I am also a giant. This dress hits at the perfect length. 

Overall:
Best dress ever. Loved everything about it!

Definitely size down! The size 10 looked crisper/newer (the size 12 that was sent looked super worn out and wrinkly!), so I'm glad I was able to squeeze myself into the size 10!!

Everyone complimented me on the dress, and I wished I could've kept it for my rehearsal dinner!

Fit was great! I wasn't fidgeting all day making sure I was covered. I worried it would be too short, but it wasn't at all. The only con was that the bow wouldn't stay tied properly. I got many compliments and felt so beautiful that I didn't want to take it off to return it.

Dress was accurate to the pictures and description. It was delivered on time and clean (also in a dress bag which was great for keeping wrinkles out) with instructions on returning it. I was able to wear it and mail it all within the same weekend. It's a great idea for events where you want to wear something nice, but not have it collect dust in your closet. Absolutely loved this dress for our engagement pictures.  I recommend it to anyone looking for a great, summer dress.

I am in love with this dress! I rented it for my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding and I could not have been happier! I received so many compliments and felt great. It does run a bit large, especially if you are smaller in the bust. Luckily, I ordered a second size and it worked out perfectly. This was my second experience with Rent the Runway and once again I was truly impressed with their efficiency and overall customer service. I would recommend both this dress and the company to anyone who asks!

The dress was perfect. I loved how it fit, I wanted to wear it all day long. It was very comfortable. Our elopement was a surprise for everyone else except us. I had this dress delivered to our hotel the day we arrived in Vegas. I wore the size 2 but I'm usually a size 4-6. Others had said it ran large and they are right. The dress was perfect for the occasion and I was very happy to be wearing it for our wedding!

I paired this dress with gold earrings, a black cardigan and black flats.  It was the perfect look for our jazz club themed rehearsal dinner party and I felt very comfortable.  It runs true to size; however, I felt it was a little stretched out in the bust.  I actually had to safety pin the back.

I rented this dress for a night out with my girlfriends during my bachelorette weekend. It was PERFECT! It looked so beautiful on, and made me shine as the bride-to-be. I felt confident and pretty the whole night.

I wore this for my Bridal Shower and it was perfect. I only gave it 4 stars because it does run a little big, especially in the top. I wore the 2, but I definitely could have worn a 0 (I just didn't rent a 0 because I am never a size 0 in a dress).

I wore this dress for my wedding rehearsal/rehearsal dinner, paired with the Kate Space sea green necklace. It was comfortable and perfect for a hot August day, and I received tons of compliments. The only downside was the fact that the scalloped lace at the top of the dress seemed a bit stretched out/worn out, and definitely required fashion tape to stay up. Other than that, I was very happy with this rental!

Fit was just right. I was worried how much I would grow in a month from when I ordered. I ordered 2 sizes a 10 and 8. Both fit but I went with the 10 for comfort. I'm typically a size 4 but I'm 26 weeks pregnant. Thank you RTR!

In all the reviews everyone sad the top ran big, but on me not so much I wear a 36 dd bra and a size 4-6 pants. The 6 fit but not in the chest so I wore the 8 & it was very snug in the top. 

The dress I ordered came back damaged and RTR quickly replaced it with this dress. It was very comfortable and flattering. I got a ton of compliments. My only issue was the top of the dress, it stayed up fine but the lace on top fell down a bit. Nothing double sided tape couldn't fix and overall I loved the dress! 

Don't get me wrong, the dress was beautiful and I almost got more compliments on this for my rehearsal dinner than I did for my wedding dress the next day!  
Downside, even though I sized down as recommended, the top continued to roll down or slide down.  We finally resorted in using body tape which became hilarious because every time I sat down somebody had to re-tape me.  I ended up with tape marks on my chest that were visible on wedding day.  Opps!  Was the beautiful dress worth all of the trouble?  I would still say probably.  

This was a back up dress for my first shower and worked out to be the perfect dress for the shower with family, which was the very next evening. The dress was comfortable and light for a summer out door event. The lace on top kept folding on top because I'm busty but that was it. Everyone loved it and I got tons of compliments on it. LOVE RTR! 

The four fit me better in the bust but not in the hips. It does run large in the bust, I think. Overall I loved the dress and wore it with flats and a black sweater.  Was perfect for my bridal shower! Thank you again rent the runway!

It fit pretty well. The top inch of lace on top did flop over a few times, but overall I loved the dress.

The dress looks good. It's more cream colored in person. IT RUNS 2 SIZES LARGE. I'm normally a 4 sometimes a 2 my wedding gown is a 6. I read it runs large so I ordered the 2 and 0. Even the 0 was too big. I had to tighten the ribbon to keep it from falling off and spent the whole day picking it up. I wore it to my bridal shower. I got a lot of complements and as you can tell in the pics it does look good. 

I ordered a size 2 and 4. The 4 was big but the 2 fit well, so I definitely recommend going a size down. I am a classic pear shape and this dress fit pretty typically: Fit my hips but was loose around the bust. To compensate, I added some cups to my strapless bra and was good to go. I was nervous about the longer length on me, as I am only 5'2, but was pleasantly surprised with the length and overall look of the dress. 

Cons:  The  lace along the top of the dress is very flimsy and kept folding over! I attempted to use fashion tape to keep it in place, but once I sat down the dress pulled and detached from the tape. So not only did I have flimsy, folded over lace at the top of the dress, but I also had a back full of fashion tape. This unfortunately, was pretty noticeable and also very uncomfortable. Also, the black bow was wrinkled and limp which took away from the quality of the dress. I'm sure this is due to constant use. It wasn't a big deal or too noticeable, but it is worth mentioning. The dress loses 2 stars for these cons. 

Pros: Great fit, especially for a short and tricky pear shape! Beautiful lace detailing- absolutely gorgeous and received SO many compliments!

Hey, love the Anna Sui dress you wore for your bridal shower! I am also thinking of renting this dress for my shower and we are pretty comparable in height/bust/weight/size so I wanted to see if I could ask you a few questions. 1. I'm 5'2. so I'm concerned about length. Where did the dress come down to on you? 2. I have an issue with my top being smaller than my bottom (I'm more pear shaped). Do you think this would be an issue? Is it very fitted through the hips?

I actually got this dress for my bridal shower. At the time of ordering it I was weighing a bit more and I hadnt realized I had lost so much when I recieved it because it was pretty loose. But thanks to the bridemaids they popped a large saftey pin to keep it from slipping all night A size 4 would have been perfect. It was a beautiful ivory shade and I felt so pretty in it. Besides it slipping off all the time I loved it haha, but that part was my fault. Oh well the wedding dress well just fit nicer! ;]

This dress was perfect for my wedding rehearsal! I typically wear a size 4, but even the two was large. Had I known just how large the dress ran, I would have ordered a size 0 and worn that. Other than that, very comfortable and beautiful!

Rented this dress for my 18 year old daughter for her snow-coming dance.  This dress was very comfortable and beautiful fabric.  She is 6 ft. tall and the length was perfect!  

Wore this on a Sunday to church, then a winery and boat cruise. The dress ran large on the top for me. I worse the size up thinking for church and a afternoon in the sun it would be good, but in retro I should have worn the 6. But the dress is great. Lace up top is a little soft so does fold down a bit. I would rent this dress again, it is perfect for so many occasions.

My husband was all smiles when he saw me wear this.  All night he kept saying you are so beautiful.  I paired this with Nicole Miller Plantation earrings.   Success! Thanks RTR!

I usually wear a size 6, sometimes a 4 if it runs large and the 6 fit fine but the 4 fit better.  Dress we as easy to move in and dance in.  Top lace was a but floppy but able to keep up or lay down, looked nice either way. 

I ordered the dress for my bridal shower and I have never received so many compliments on a dress!!!  I had so many people asking about my dress and where I got it from!  I wish I could keep it!!!! I am about a 32D and the 0 was a little tight around the bust but the 2 was a little loose around the rib cage. The color is not really white, it's more of a bone color but the lace on the dress is beautiful!!!  It's a great dress, comfortable and perfect for my bridal shower!

I didn't end up wearing this dress for my event because it was my backup option. However, I would rent this again if I had the opportunity. Very flattering  although I do have wider hips so I think this would look even better on someone with a narrow figure.

I wore it to my bridal shower and felt like a princess! The top stays up if you have tape. It's very beautiful. 

I'm 5'4" and 140 lbs. I had read the reviews that it ran large so I got a size 4 and 6. I'm usually a 6 but the 4 was perfect! Everyone complimented me on this dress. It's absolutely gorgeous in person!! My favorite rental yet!

Rented this to wear at my engagement party and loved it! Lace was beautiful and I received  many compliments on the dress.

I wore this for my bridal shower and got tons of compliments.  My mom asked me if I could buy it from the website cause it looked so good!  Runs really large.  I'm almost always a 10 and usually would order a 12 as a back-up just in case.  But because of the comments I ordered an 8 as a back up and thank god I did because the 10 was huge.  The 8 fit perfectly (was even slighly on the loose side if anything).  Definitely order a size down!  

I usually wear a 2 or 4 in dresses, and this size 2 was HUGE! The top part is oddly SUPER stretchy so it went from huge to giant just while trying it on. It is also NOT WHITE. I knew this from other reviews but was still surprised at how dark it is. It's like a darker cream color. Still beautiful but just be aware if you are looking for an actual white dress. The bow is such a cute detail, and sewed on so it doesn't slip around anywhere. I didn't wear this one because of the sizing issue.

Really pretty however was really big on me everywhere!
