While I rented this dress 5 years ago, I remember vividly my love and comfort in wearing it. I felt like a princess at my work event. It was incredibly comfortable while looking very glamourous. Can't recommend it enough, especially for my fellow plus-sized hourglass folks! 

I wore this to a formal event at the Sears Tower.  The 4R fit perfectly (true to size) except for the length—as a petite, it was a *touch* too long. The 2R was the right length, but slightly too narrow for my rib cage.
I wanted to be comfortable, so I wore the 4R.  I am 5' 3 1/2", and I wore 2" platforms.  I also ordered the blue version of this dress, which came in a 4P.  I wish the waterlillies came in a 4P, but perhaps in the future!

The fit was great! The length was still a little long on the long even with my 3.5 inch heels but I didn’t trip on it at all. The zipper was a little tricky though and required assistance. 

Size 10-12 pre-pregnancy, got a size 16 to wear on the first day of my third trimester. Fit very well! A little loose in the bust, I'm a 38D lately. Length is tough without heels even at 5'8". 

I rented this dress for a summer wedding and I felt that it worked perfectly.  It was a light flowing material so it was not overly hot at all and it worked well fit wise even with me being around 22 weeks pregnant.  I'm 5'4 and currently about 125lbs and the size 4 was perfect.   I would definitely rent this again even when not pregnant because it was just pretty and fun.  

I got compliments on this beautiful dress.  Very comfortable.  Usually a size 6 but the 4 fit me better. 

Perfect dress. The color. The fit!! It was so flowy and beautiful. I got so many compliments. 

This dress fit very well. I was able to get the longer length which was perfect. It was comfortable, flowy and made me feel beautiful! 

I was 30 weeks pregnant when I wore this dress. I probably should have ordered one size up and my normal dress size as it was a little tight but it worked. It complimented my bump and everyone said I looked wonderful in the dress all night. I would honestly rent this again not pregnant. 

Fit perfectly. But I'm 5'7" and the dress was still dragging even in heels! 

True to size, and I felt very comfortable in it! Will definitely rent again! 

Fit true to size, but works best with a racerback or strapless bra. 

Wore this to a gala that was black tie. I'm 5'9" 125lbs 30DDD. Was great length with 3 1/2" heels. Love this style and have worn this dress in other colors. So comfortable and pretty. 

My dress was unavailable because  it wasn't returned on time or it wasn't in acceptable condition. The people I spoke with at Rent the Runway were helpful and helped me pick out three dresses, but I didn't care for any of them, and they were all too long. I should have ordered petite. 

This was my first time renting with RTR after having my daughter, and this dress was absolutely perfect for my 5 month postpartum body. Enough room up top even for those with lots to hold in, and flowy enough to hide any curves you're not used to yet. Felt comfortable all night and got many compliments! 

Great fit. So comfortable for an outdoor summer wedding on a hot day. Colors are even more beautiful in person. I am 5'8" and a true size 4. The 4R fit great (with 2 inch heels). 

I didn't like it on the hanger, but was very happy wearing it!  The dress had a beautiful flow and was perfect for an outdoor wedding.  Not too heavy. 

I'm 5.5", 290lbs, the dress fit and felt great on. I rented the dress for my Bridal shower, which had to be rescheduled. But the dress would have been beautiful for it. Just trying it on made me feel beautiful in it.

This dress was beautiful to wear. The fabric was lightweight but enough pattern and body that it wasn't see through. The cut was flattering to most body shapes. The bodice is shirred so it may not be best for fuller chested women.   I found however that it was snug at the waistline in my typical size-4 and it was long even with 3 inch heals. If you are under 5'6" I would recommend ordering a petite. My waist is 30" and I wore a 6.   By accident I was sent a 6 R. 

This dress was beautiful and fit great! Received lots of compliments. Also not too hot for a summer wedding!

I love dresses that have high necklines without looking frumpy. This dress was everything. The length and movement are so perfect for anyone who wants to feel like a princess and twirl the night away. (Me!) The material was nice for a hot evening outdoors. All night people came up to me and told me how beautiful the dress was. This is a standout and I wish I could wear this dress all the time.

Wore this to a wedding when I was 21 weeks pregnant and felt beautiful! Am usually a 4 but sized up to a 6 and it fit perfectly, even long enough for my 6 ft tall body!

This dress was perfect for the baby shower I attended! I loved the fit everywhere, except the length. I ordered a 2P, wore 2 inch heels and the dress was still a bit too long. I received many compliments on this beauty! 

Amazing dress. Perfect length, fits a normal racerback bra and the most beautiful fabric print. Bonus: can be stuffed in a suitcase and removed next day for wear without needing to iron. 10/10 would rent again! 

Size I ended up wearing wasn’t an option under size selection*** Ordered 14L and 16WL and ended up wearing the 14L. I’m 5’7 and with heels it was literally the perfect length and fit! Another plus was no bra needed or even petals as there’s quite a bit of fabric at the chest area 

I adored this dress and got so many compliments.  I was a little disappointed in a the length at first... until it started raining!  Then I was glad that it didn't touch the ground like I typically would've preferred.  I wore a 3 inch heel, and it was a few inches off the ground.  It fit perfectly in the waist, but it was a little loose in the straps and bust.  Definitely recommend though!  Would be great for someone with a larger bust.

Loved the watercolor pattern of the dress.  Don't usually go for sleeveless but the higher neckline made me feel a bit more covered.  Very comfortable to wear.

This dress is stunning. The colors are gorgeous! My size was unavailable and I was so obsessed I had to go 1-2 sizes up! Thankfully it was on the top that was too big so it was not super noticeable. The length was perfect. I received soooooo many compliments on this dress all night. I would buy it in a heartbeat

Flowy, comfortable, beautiful colors, flattering & so many nice compliments. The dress  was perfect for the mother-son dance.


Wore this to a wedding and the fit was perfect! The waist band is perfect for new mommas! You can wear a normal bra with this and tie it together in the back so the straps are not seen. I wore an 8P and I am 5'7" and flats or heels could have been worn. 

The dress is gorgeous in every way and incredibly comfortable.  Unfortunately, I got a size 2, my true size, and a size 4.  However the size 2 fit me great up top but then was about 4" too long even though I ordered Reg in both.  The size 4 though was shorter for some reason and so I wound up wearing that one even though it felt a bit big up top.  

This dress runs a little on the small side.  I normally wear a 4 or 6 and rented a 6.  It fit pretty snug.  And I'm 5'4" and wore tall wedges and the dress still touched the floor.  Nothing awful just an FYI for the shorter ladies.  I wore it to church and received lots of compliments.  It's a magnificent dress!  It makes you want to spin around!  I absolutely love it!

I'm so glad I found this. It was stunning! I got so many compliments during our photoshoot while we were walking around the resort. The colors were perfect for the beach! I didn't feel overdressed walking on the sand since I was barefoot. :)

Fit perfectly I have a smaller waist and larger bust and ordered a 6p and 8p incase it was tight in the chest. It wasn’t it zipped up with ease. It’s super comfortable as well 

This dress was great for a late summer wedding. Even though it was 85 degrees in the shade, I never felt too hot. Got compliments all night and just felt beautiful. Also the length of the gown and flowiness were helpful in obstructing the view of the bride when the groom accidentally wandered into the bride's area lol.

Absolutely loved this dress for our "sons" wedding. Not to MOG-y but still conservative. LOVED it!
