Didn't wear because of size, but will try again!
I didn't end up wearing this dress to a formal wedding because it was too big, but it was in great condition and seems like a great dress so I may downsize to a 2 and try again for another upcoming wedding! It's longer than some of the other longs as other reviewers mentioned, so I also won't go long on my next try.

Gorgeous Dress!
This dress was so comfortable and flattering -- I got compliments all night. The fabric came a little wrinkly but looked like a million bucks with just a little bit of steaming. A little on the long side (I wore with huge platform heels so it did not drag).

Absolutely Gorgeous dress
Stunning dress. Got so many compliments. Hugged in all the right places giving you an appearance of being super thin. A little bigger on top than I would have expected.

Stunning Dress
This was not the original dress I had chosen. A stylist helped me choose another dress as quickly as possible since I needed to wear it on the weekend. I was sent three dresses and I ended up choosing this one. I was complimented on this dress several times and it was so comfortable. I don't regret choosing this one. I love being able to wear exquisite dresses and not actually having to buy a new one every time. This is a great service.

Gorgeous Gown, Fit Amazing, Loved it!
This dress was so beautiful but it was really long!! I'm 5'4 and wore 4" heels and it was still trailing a bit. Wear HIGH heels - but it was worth it, so glamourous!

This was my first RTR experience and it will definitely not be my last!!!
The dress was true to my actual size, but since I have a smaller bust, i had to get a size smaller.

Perfect for the occasion
I wore this to a Phantom of the Opera Charity ball. It was my backup dress but I couldn't pass it up once I put it on. It was super comfortable. Fit great and I got tons of compliments. My only complaint was the length as the other dress I rented for the night was by the same designer and was too short to wear with flats and this one I had to wear 6 inch heels and it was still slightly too long. Otherwise nearly perfect dress

I felt so beautiful in red!
So this dress was beautiful, but it was too large. I used some fashion tape which helped, but I could have really used a smaller size. It was a comfortable dress though, and I was able to dance and have fun! My eyes look weird in the photo, but it's the only full length photo!

Gorgeous gown! Was told I looked like I was on the red carpet!
What I really wanted to comment on was the impeccable service of Rent the Runway. I rented this dress for my senior prom, and I had tried the white color in my nearby department store, where I deemed myself a size 8R. Two days before prom I get an email from RTR saying that the size 8R of the dress is damaged, but the size 6R is still on its way. I began to freak out over whether or not the dress would fit. With my order, RTR sent another red Badgely Mischka gown to make up for the damaged dress, and they also asked if there were any other dresses I was interested in to send. I chose the black version of this dress in a size 8R as well. RTR also sent me a complimentary gold clutch because of the mess-up. Luckily, the original size 6R fit! The material is a little bit stretchy, but the zipper of the dress was a little bit busted ( I assume from so many people squeezing into this dress). The zipper is a little difficult at the point where the peplum is, but don't worry, it will still zip up even if it takes time! Overall, I can't thank RTR enough for their amazing service. And with the $25 coupon, I only paid $80 for my prom dress, necklace, and clutch!!

Dress is beautiful! Truly stands out as a showstopper
Fits true to size. I'm in between sizes right now the 10 was a bit tight, 12 a bit loose but more comfy for me so I went with the 12R. Length was perfect and I'm 5'7. Only con is the boning in the bodice had a wire poking me all night. But the many compliments I received outweighed the discomfort

Was told I was the best dressed of the night. Very classy and appropriate
It fit a little tight in the rib cage. But overall fit well. I didn't think this was the most flattering on myself but it was a nice dress and I received compliments on it.

Everyone loves a red dress!
This dress was very comfortable. At 5'2'' in height the petite length was perfect with 3 inch heels. I received many compliments on the dress at our friends wedding. Such a great dress!

Who doesn't love a scarlet gown?
The fit is good! Always a tad too big in the bust so I would use tape to prevent shifting. I rented this as a backup to a gig I was singing and even though I decided not to wear it I'm singing another event in November and will be wearing it for that! The peplum hides a problem tummy while still hugging curves and looking really flattering! I would DEFINITELY wear heels with it--- I'm 5'4 and the dress was VERY long on me. Overall I loved it and it just looks beautiful on!

Loved the color but too short and obviously worn.
I wanted to wear this dress so badly to a formal event I attended but all the "longs" had been rented so I snagged it in the "regular" it was too short and clearly heavily worn, the boning inside the dress was poking out and very uncomfortable. I ended up wearing the 4 Long in the black and loved it!

Stunning!!!
Fit like a glove. I'm glad I got the regular and not the long. I'm 5'7 and the length was perfect with regular heals.
I got dozens of compliments all night long and the main comment I kept getting was "stunning dress!" Sad to see it go back, but loved the bright red color. Highly recommend it!!!

Sweet dress with soft lines
This was my first choice dress but I did not end up wearing it.
The color is as pictured, as is the belt and the skirt. It's such a lovely, soft dress that I had high hopes when I tried it on.
On my body, it did not feel as easy and effortless as it looked on the hanger. It sat very bulky on my waist and hips. I felt like this fit pulled the top of the dress down leading to me adjusting my bust often.
It's a really lovely dress and had I not felt bulky in the mid section, I would have loved to wear it!
Enjoy!

Great... Why would you buy a dress when you can Rent the Runway!!!!
I actually ordered the dress 2 weeks before I needed it and it arrived a little early. The was very nice and I was very pleased with the over all dress. It came with the packing etc to send back...

I felt like the most beautiful woman there!
The dress ran a little large, but I planned for that. It's nice to wear a size smaller than usual! The train was a little dirty, but it wasn't noticeable to anyone but me. The fabric was heavy, but that helped with the draping and it wasn't a problem. The peplum really did a great job hiding flaws. It's a stunning dress. Classic and sexy, yet current with the peplum.

Unable to wear; too tight
This dress was too tight in my regular size, not unexpected for a formal gown, and my backup dress was the next size up. However the next size up was too long even in 3 inch heels. I'm already 5"8 and I don't own heels higher than 3 inches. Very nice dress, but did not work for me.

Photographs extremely well.
Model was 34A, so it was loose fitting on the top, but nothing a clip couldn't fix. The dress comes a little wrinkled through shipping, so a steam is recommended. It was a gorgeous dress.

I got many compliments!
I got compliments on my dress. It seemed stretched out in the top portion. I wear a 34DD and it just needed to be pulled up a few times but not too many. It felt great. Not too tight around my waist and not too long. I am 132 and 5'7" Thought without my heels I had to carry it so I didn't trip and I had to hold it when I was dancing. I wore probably some 4-5" heels. #airforceball #military #ballgown

The complements I received in the dress. It showed off my curves but in a modest way!
The top was fitted and once you got to the waist and hips it went out a little bit. I'm usually a size 2 but got a 0 since I would be dancing and didn't want it to fall off. If you are normally a 2 and get a 0 it is tight but not unbearable.

The length was long and with 2 1/2" heels I could have done a regular length.

Way too big
I am normally a size 2 or 4 for designer dresses. When i wear a dress that fits around the ribcage area, a 2 normally fits well. I have a 34C chest and a relatively small waist/ ribcage. The size 2 was ENTIRELY too big for me. A 0 may have been better, but honesty, still may have been too big. It just wasn't flattering at all.

So many compliments on this dress! It was so classy.
I normally wear a six in other dresses and I wore the four which was still too big. I didn't know you could exchange the sizes once you got the dress but will definitely remember that in the future! It was perfect length, but I'm 5'8 and was wearing 2 1/2 inch heels.

I just had a baby, so I've been self conscious about clothing, but this dress really created an hour class figure and made me feel comfortable all night. I received so many complements and the color was just right. This dress was sassy AND classy!

Loved this dress - beautiful and flattering.
Wore this as a bridesmaid where everyone was to choose their own RED dress. This was my second choice after I received my first choice and was not happy. RTR sent this one the next day to have in time for the wedding. I was so relieved when I tried it on. I didn't wear spanx with it, as the peplum covered my problem area very well- which means I was very comfortable in it all night. I likes the fabric, it is a bit heavy but is substantial and made very well. The length was nice (the first choice dress was too short), it touched the floor with the 3" heels I wore. Had so many compliments and felt very pretty wearing this one!
