Great idea! Would love to see a photo of this look!

I rented this dress to wear for our Christmas card photo session, but with a slight change....I added a denim shirt on top to tone it down where it looked like I was wearing a sequin skirt instead of a dress. The photographer raved about the dress! Great option to be worn alone as a dress or with a jacket/shirt/sweater over for a completely different look! 

The dress looks beautiful on you! I've wanted to wear RTR dresses to events in Europe, but assumed it wouldn't work with international mail. How did you manage that? 

Thank you! I asked RTR, but they do not ship over seas. Since I was only gone for a week, I actually had to rent it for 8 days, so I just returned in in the states.

I honestly cannot say enough about how incredible this dress was for me. I wore it to a very formal black tie affair in London. I got a million compliments on it from everyone at the event and then from everyone I know who saw pictures. This is hands down the most beautiful dress I've ever worn! It did run a bit large, as I'm usually a 2 or 4 and I was a 2. I'm also 5'7" and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels. A long would have been too long.

The dress fit very well.  I tried on many but by far this was the most sophisticated and flattering


Comfortable, beautiful, and so flattering.

This was my backup dress because my first choice was too big. This dress runs true to size- I wore a 4R and I am 5 ft 4 in and about 115 lbs. The 2R probably would have fit me better, but only the 4 was available.  It was a little large on top (I'm a 32/34 A). The length was actually perfect for me- I wore three inch heels with the gown.  I will definitely be using rent the runway again! 

I am 5'2" 118lbs and have an athletic build  (thicker legs.) I did not receive the 0, so had to wear the 2R, which fit great but I think I could have worn the 0R. The dress is long. I had to wear 5 inch heals and it still had a little bit of a train. When you put it on you will find a way to make the length work. The dress is gorgeous. I didn't find the weight of the dress to be too heavy to where I noticed it once it was on. Super comfortable!

I absolutely loved this dress!  This was my first time using RTR and I will say that it won't be my last. The dress was extremely comfortable and very beautiful in person.  I rented this dress for my Mardi Gras Ball and was able to dance all night in it as it had more give than I imagined.  I was really nervous about choosing a size however having so many other reviews and pictures to base my decision on made it so much easier!  Thank you RTR!

I was a little nervous about how it was going to fit, but it honestly fit like a glove. If it didnt though, I was so happy that it came with another size. The v was a little deep and since I have 34D-DD boobs, it was a little revealing. I wore 4.5 inch heels and the length was perfect. 

There was a mishap where the size I ordered (2R) was returned to RTR damaged beyond repair so they couldn't ship me out a new one and so I just got my extra size which I ended up wearing (the 4R). There was a little too much fabric in the chest/shoulder area and it was loose-fitting through the waist/hips, but my sister (the bride) wanted me to wear this, and I could not deny this dress once I put it on!! I ended up using some bra inserts to give me a little lift and because of the room in the hips the dress was super comfortable! I cannot possibly count all of the compliments I got on this dress it is a show-stopper for sure.  Love love love and will look for any excuse to wear it again! 

Although more formal than most other NYE party dresses, this dress stood out as elegant and beautiful.  It's flattering, comfortable and allows a regular bra.  You don't need to bother with spanx!
At 5'6 and 1/2", I wore heels (but not platforms) and it skimmed my toes in front, leaving about a 2 inch train.  I received compliments (primarily from women!) all evening.  This is a must-rent!

This dress is gorgeous!  I wore it to a NYE ball and while most of the women were wearing short cocktail dresses I was happy I wore this gown.  I had countless people stop me to say how beautiful it was.  I could have worn the 2R except for the chest area.  It squeezed me a little more than I would like so I went with the 4R.  I had to wear 6 in heels in order to prevent too much dragging, although the dress still touched the floor.  It's a bit longer in the back which made it really easy to walk in without stepping on.  We danced for hours and had no issues with the dress.  The color is definitely more in the brown family while I had originally thought it had some silver tone to it based on the pics.  There is no silver at all.  I would recommend this to anyone!  LOVE RTR!!  In fact, all my table mates at the ball wanted to know all about RTR!

Have never received so many compliments on a dress in my life.  It was also completely comfortable to wear all night.  It runs slightly big so if you're between sizes I would size down.  I'm usually a 0-2 and the 0R fit perfectly.  If you have a black tie occasion you should 100% rent this.  

I thought the fit was pretty true to size.  It is a gorgeous dress!  

I'm obsessed. This dress was every thing I wanted it to be and more! First when you remove it from the bag you're like oh lord this is gonna be heavy, but once it's on you don't feel a thing. The comfort level of a gown like this was insane! Some had said the sequins would rub at times and ladies, I think we've managed to put up with that once or twice for the sake of fashion. Bonus Perk: the gown gives you a killer hour glass figure...hello hips! The intricate detail itself  on the gown is just stunning. It's very different but in the most amazing way. The straps are even wide enough to wear a legit bra under! I got compliments the whole night and I feel that overall it was such a classic look. I would buy this dress and wear it every day of my life if I wasn't a struggling college student, but I guess a one night affair will have to do. 

I had so much fun wearing this dress and got a ton of compliments! I am a 5' 8" -- wore a 4L with 3 inch heels;  it fit perfectly and hit the floor exactly how a gown should. The material is pretty thick so can get a little hot, definitely more of a fall/winter dress.

I got so many compliments on this dress - I felt like I stood out, but in a good way! The fit was perfect, and so flattering. 

Fantastic dress! I received so many compliments throughout the evening! Everyone kept telling me how fabulous I looked and asked where I bought the dress. Renting is way better than buying! It fit perfectly, and I am bigger on the top and straight through the hips. It fit everywhere and gave me an hourglass effect. 
Pros: showstopper dress, well made and  high quality. Not as heavy as people mentioned and the sequence did not bother my arms as it did other reviewers. So different and brings attention, in a good way :)
Cons: seemed a little longer than other Regular length gowns, but I wore 4.5in heels and it just barely brushed the ground. I am 5'3 fyi. 


I wore this for a black tie affair and it was the perfect dress.  All over it made me feel beautiful!
A regular bra can be worn- HURRAH!  I wore 4" heels and the length was perfect.
I would suggest this to anyone who needs a gown and doesn't need to wear a jacket- it would be hard to find one to go with this dress and a shame to cover it up.

This dress is gorgeous, perfect for a black tie wedding! True to size. The fit was fantastic surprisingly comfortable,  it fit perfectly everywhere but the lenght runs short I´m 5´4 and it was a little bit shorter than I expected, but not a big deal. It´s perfect, elegant, unique. 100% recommendable. One more thing: It´s not that heavy! I loved wearing it!
