I typically am a pretty solid 8, but have to size up occasionally on tighter things due to my larger chest. The size 8 wasn't available so they sent a size 10 as a replacement. The 10 fit a little large in the ribcage and the straps were definitely too long. I ended up pinning the straps to shorten them and it worked perfectly. The dress could have been snugger in the bodice which would have made me feel more comfortable and held in, but the dress worked out just fine for the wedding and looked absolutely beautiful. No one had any clue it was a little big! Would definitely rent this dress and wear it again. 

I wore this as the stepmother to the bride. It was absolutely gorgeous and fit perfect. I love this designer, they are always true to size

4P fit tight but not uncomfortable. Dress looked lovely, just went with the other dress I ordered. Would recommend it to someone else and might rent it for another event. 

This dress played the perfect part for a charity event I attended and helped organize. The bust has a subtle, delicate appearance; nothing flashy. But, I wear a 32B and the bust was slightly big. There was so much excitement about the lovely, and surprising, thigh-high front slit (left side). I felt like a princess sweeping into every room. 

I wore this to a wedding and it was perfect- absolutely stunning and so comfortable! My only complaint is that even the petite length was long; I wore 3 inch heels and still struggled a bit (I'm 5 ft). 

It was a little tight in the top. I usually wear a 36D and it did keep the girls in there tight. It is more low cut than I expected though. I'm 6 feet tall and the 14L was just long enough without heels on. I got a lot of compliments! 

I loved this dress and felt beautiful and confident. It was flattering and gorgeous yet as simple as slipping it on and zipping it up. The petite length skirted the top of my toes with heels on, and I loved that the dress didn't need to be pressed. 

I've rented a number of dresses and this was one of my favorites. The 6 fit better on the bottom, but I was definitely going to have a wardrobe malfunction on top so I made my husband shove me into the 4 which felt much more secure. I definitely needed a second pair of hands to zip it and would never have been able to do it on my own. The fabric is long and flow. Even with four inch heels I was stepping on it, but despite all this, I still really loved wearing this dress. 

I loved this dress. We had a black tie optional wedding to attend and this was great. Fit great. Was a tad lose cut but my husband had no problems with it and I received plenty of compliments. Worth the rent and would totally do again. 

We went to the store in Chicago to try on dresses for my daughter's Prom  but they did not have this one to try on - she tried on another one from the same designer and we hoped for the best.  The stylist was super helpful in steering us in the right direction for size and style.  It fit perfectly and looked very well pressed and ready to wear.  The whole process was extremely easy.  I admit we were nervous to not have the dress in hand weeks before, but it all worked out perfectly and we knew the back up dress fit well.  The dress stood out as elegant - the fabric was just so much lovelier than a lot of other dresses.  

I am 4’11 and 95 lbs with A size cup so finding dresses in my size that fit is DIFFICULT to say the least. This dress looked absolutely stunning!!! The fit was perfect with some safety pins that I pinned on the chest area (since I am very small chested). I got so many compliments and felt like a movie star!!! I absolutely love this dress!

I loooved this gown. Super forgiving for postpartum mommas! Makes your boobs look great. The detail on top is stunning. So comfy and flowing! Wish I owned it. Get a sticky bra for this. 

The fit was great, the length was perfect, although in the description picture, I had no idea there was a slit, but it didn't bother me too much. This dress made me feel the best I've felt since I found out about being pregnant with twins. Great night and great dress!

This dress was so comfortable and flattering.  I'm 5'8" and about 175lbs with a athletic build. I received so many compliments on this dress!

Rented for my friends BTO wedding. I felt like a princess! It fit absolutely perfectly. I used some fabric tape to hold a strapless bra down low enough in the back, but the top is thick enough where you could go braless if you have a larger bust to fill the top. The length was perfect with 3" heels. There is a slit in the opaque lining that adds a little sexiness to the dress. LOVE LOVE LOVED wearing this dress

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding. The size 12L fit perfectly except for the straps were a bit too long. It was the right length for me; wore a low heel and I am 5'10".  Loves this dress and would absolutely recommend it!!

Really happy with this rental. Lots of compliments. Skirt was really comfortable, good length (5'5" with 3" heels). Top a bit large, but manageable (34b). Top also ha some pilling that I removed before the event, so starting to show some wear. 

This dress is gorgeous. I felt beautiful in it and got lots of compliments. The straps are a touch long and do dig in a little bit because they are so thin. But overall I would rent this dress again. 

Loved this dress and received tons of compliments !

Wore to a formal November wedding. The dress is very forgiving for mommy bodies and looked fabulous on. I got compliments all night. Only con is the straps were too long, but it was easy to tack them up. Highly recommend!

Like others have mentioned, the top fits a little loose, but that didn't make it unwearable. I didn't even have to wear a bra! 0P was perfect length with heels even though I'm only 5'1. Don't think twice. Just rent it! 

I usually wear between a 10 and 12. Size 10 fit best, the straps on the 12 were falling down. The detail on the dress is beautiful. Deep cut in the front. The sides of the dress underneath the armpit are very low cut, I wasn't a fan of that. Overall loved the dress!

I absolutely loved the look of this dress! I'm a bit busty (34F) so I was really worried about how this dress would fit. I ordered a 10 and a 12, and ended up wearing the 12. The 10 was a bit too tight up top. The 12, however, fit reeeeeeally oddly up top. I had to wear a backless strapless bra, then take the straps up about 2 inches. But after that, it was great! I had so many compliments on this dress and absolutely loved how beautiful I felt all night. 

This dress is gorgeous, I had so many compliments! I have been waiting for an occasion to rent this dress and I'm so glad I finally did. The fabric around the waist is not stretchy at all, so if you are concerned about sizing I would size up. Also the length was good, I wore flip flops and nobody knew! The slip has a slit which I loved. 

This dress was super comfortable and flattering. The slit comes up very high but it's not super noticeable. I normally would wear a 6R but it wasn't available so I went with the 6L. It was definitely too long for me but it was still easily to walk, dance, etc. Highly recommended!

Perfect fit for me, but I guess the straps could be a little long. The dress was heavy and well made and just gorgeous for a navy blue themed event. 

I was trying out  unlimited RTR so I rented several dresses from the site. The red dress in this photo was actually my 2nd choice) but I HAD to go with the navy dress, I absolutely loved it. I thought it was true to size, a little long for me,  (even in tall heels, and I am 5'6) but didn't cause too big a problem. Got compliments all night. Definitely a little low cut in front but still tasteful. Could go braless with this dress, I decided to use a sticky bra but would've been fine without. Would recommend this dress and would rent again! 

The top was too big on me (I doubt anyone noticed but me), but the rest of the dress is "flexible" if you're not sure on sizing. I loved how the dress flowed- the slit was awesome. It traveled well. I wore it to a black tie wedding. Very elegant! I'd wear it again. Tons of compliments!

Beautiful dress! Zipper was tricky to slide down once it was up. The dress accommodated my 9 months pregnant belly (a little snug around the bust line but again I was 9 mos pregnant so not sure if it was a true to size or run smaller) 

Beautiful dress, would rent again. Comfortable and stylish. 

I normally wear a size 0 but am 24 weeks pregnant so I had to go up one size to a 2. It was a little snug on the belly but the 4 was way too big in the chest.  The straps are really long so I had to tack them a bit shorter - if I wasn't pregnant I could have just pulled the dress a bit lower but my belly was in the way. Overall I loved this dress. It was perfect for a black tie formal wedding. It was comfortable while still being very glamorous. 

It's a gorgeous dress. The straps were a little too long so I pinned them in the back. I'm short so this dress was dragging. 

I wore this dress to a wedding and fell in love! I received compliments all night. I am very tall, and long dresses are usually too short, but this went all the way to the floor. I wore flats, but could have worn heels and it still would have looked great. I loved the slit in the side and went without a bra (which I loved)! I have a really broad back, so it was a little snug below my bust line, but it was still comfortable!

This dress was absolutely gorgeous, and perfect for a black tie wedding. I'm 5'3", B cup size, with a slightly broad back, and wore the 10R. The fit was perfect for me, besides the length which was a little long. So I had to wear slightly taller heels. The top was fitted enough to hold everything in place, and no bra required! Although when you sit, it becomes less structured so I'm not sure this would be best for women with larger cup sizes, like D or up. Overall though I think the dress would be flattering for all body types; it really makes you feel fabulous! This was my first time renting and I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. Definitely a great dress!

I wore this for my engagement photo shoot - it started out as a backup to a backup of my original rental choice (long story) but quickly turned into one of the most amazing dresses I have ever worn. When I rented this, the only size close to my preferred size (6) left was an 8. Because the dress was one size larger than I should've been wearing, the bust area was quite big, but a padded bra and some double sided tape fixed that issue. I'm 5'10" and this dragged on the floor a little for me (note that while Rent the Runway said I was getting an 8L, the tag says "8" so this may be a long, just not marked accordingly), but it was a romantic flowy drag, not an "I'm going to trip every 5 seconds" drag. I have already received a ton of compliments on this and felt like an absolute princess in it; would highly recommend for a photo shoot or evening event.

I was worried it was going to be too long as I saw many other people complaining about that. I ended up wearing 3” heels and the dress was perfect.  I was also concerned that the dress would be too sexy for a wedding but it showed just the right amount of cleavage but stayed classy. You would want to make sure that you had some chest to fill this dress out so it would fit right but any bigger wouldn’t work. It was so comfortable I was able to dance and eat lots all night. This was one of my favourite rentals yet!! 

This dress is one of my favorite rentals yet!! The top was a little loose in the bust area but overall it fit great and was super comfortable. My boyfriend loooooooved it and many people came up to me and said it was the best dress at the wedding (aside from the bride of course). Would definitely rent again!!!!

I sized up as I was 8 mo pregnant and this worked great! Straps were a bit long

I accidentally ordered a size too big so had to tape the girls down, but overall a beautiful and comfortable gown. Didn't know there is an extremely high slit, but it was not an issue.

I had so many comments on how beautiful the dress was. The only thing I had a problem with is the straps were very long and the dress showed my bra in the front at times. The dress was very flattering and elegant.
