Rent the Runway offers AMAZING customer service. Before & even after the event I felt like a queen!

"Hourglass Perfection" is not a stretch..this dress hid problem areas and accentuated curves that I didn't even know I had. I received soooo many compliments. If you are a 5'6 like me, opt for the longer length. This dress was also excellent material. Very classy. My personal stylist also answered questions that I had, and even sent me an additional size since I was concerned about the fit since this was my first time getting a RTR gown.

super cute sexy dress
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am 5'6" and usually wear a 16. I got the 18 and it fit but I wasn't extremely happy with the fit. I felt it was a bit short if I were to wear heals and being that I got the bigger size I still felt it was a bit snug. Super cute and I think I will try it again size up and length long.

Soooo many compliments!
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: Small

Wore this dress to be the Emcee of a show. The fit was slightly small in that I typically wear a 16 and the 18 was my choice, but not excessively so. I did find myself adjusting the rouching (sp?) each time I stood up, but the dress was very comfortable. I had it on for two shows, so almost an entire day and I still didn't want to take it off when I was done.
I did end up wearing a foundation garment, but even with my 38 D bust, I could have gotten away without wearing a bra if I wanted to.
So many compliments...if I had a dollar for each one I could rent several more dresses.
Speaking of...the customer service and entire process was so amazing that not only will I rent again, I already have another dress coming for my company holiday party this week!

I rented this for a formal-ish party and it was very comfortable. The material was surprisingly cheap-feeling to me, for the cost of the rental. That said, its stretch and comfort was unbeatable for my event.

Very disappointing I got 2 sizes larger than what I wear because it was all they had in stock for my event. When the dress arrived I could not get it to zip up. I ended up having to go out and find a whole new dress before my event.

Fantabulous Dress!
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved the dress and I received many compliments. The wiring inside the dress on the vertical bust lines had penetrated the fabric and I had to manually adjust it to avoid my skin being pierced. I wore a strapless bra with the dress since I am a 38DD. Though I am only 5'4, I wear very high heels so I would have preferred the longer length. This was my first time renting and it was a great experience so I would definitely rent again. By the way, my friend in the picture is also wearing one of your dresses.

A pretty good dress.
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
If you DON'T have an hourglass shape already, this dress doesn't look as good as it does on the model. I'm a pear- my bust is small, so I didn't feel super great in it (and thus I chose a different dress to wear to the wedding). It didn't look BAD, but it completely flattened any bust I had so it made my chest look smaller. I've lost a good deal more weight since I've tried it on, I'd try it again, but I'd definitely have a backup.

Style and comfort

Very comfortable dress, low cut but contours to the body nicely and holds everything in. Normally wear an 18, had to go with one size up. Zipper is hard to get up as it has somewhat hidden in fabric.

It's a beautiful dress and very sexy, but a little raggedy at the top.
Size worn: 22WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The top was really uncomfortable because the boning was poking up out of the fabric. I actually had to wear another dress (one of my own) because I could not make it 5 minutes in the dress. . Also, it needed a lot of airing out due to strong chemical odors.

Comfortable AND Beautiful!
Size worn: 16WR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding. I can't even keep count of how many compliments I received. It really does hide any and all imperfections, and it's comfortable! I did wear control top undergarments, I just feel it smoothed everything out. This dress definitely does run small, and I'm 5'6 and with heels the dress would have been a bit too short. Overall, i HIGHLY recommend this dress for your next fancy occasion. Also, RTR's customer service keeps me coming back for more. Top notch from start to finish!

A beautiful and very forgiving dress!

Overall fit: Small

It has a lot of room in the bust, if you don't have some large "girls" you will have trouble filling it out. I normally wear a 16 or 18 and wore the 18 and it fit almost perfectly. I'm 5' 6" and it was a little long for me, so if you're short it will be long.

Body Hugger that accentuates my curves!!! Love It!
Size worn: 22WL
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress fit me nicely but I wish that it was longer. The long version was not available so I had to settle for the regular version. The regular was not short but it was shorter than I needed it to be especially since I was wearing heals. I wore it to a formal 40th birthday party at a museum. I wear an 18 in most of my clothes. I ordered an 18 and a 22 (the 20 was not available). I wore the 22 because this dress runs extremely small. The 18 would not even begin to zip. The 22 was snug as a bug in a good way. This dress accentuated my curves. It was a stretch material which made it comfortable to wear. The off the shoulder style gave the dress a sexy look but I didn't have to worry about showing too much cleavage. I loved that the dress had sleeves. The back of the dress had a mermaid effect that makes the dress look even more stylish. (My bust size is actually a 40D)

The dress was beautiful and in excellent condition. Runs small.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small

When I got home from work, I was delighted to find my RTR order had been delivered. I hurried inside and opened the box...it felt like Christmas morning! How disappointed I was to find that neither size dress fit. I am usually a size 20, but ordered the complimentary size larger just in case. Unfortunately, I had no luck with either. Although I am unable to use my rental this time, RTRs customer service in returning for credit has, so far, been exceptional and I won't hesitate to use RTR again!

Great fit. The dress was a little worn as the boning in the dress I received poked through several spots on the dress and made it a little uncomfortable and kept sticking me but with a bit of adjusting I made out fine and I looked and felt great!

You'll need someone to help you zip it up! Sleeves are the slimmest part - whoa! But wow. Once it's on! Compliments galore, and you're the famous one in the room. Loved that I could change out the jewelry with the classic black, and the rushing was very flattering. I was sad that the next size up was actually not available that weekend since I'd read that it runs small, but decided to go all-in with the one size and it turned out very snug but the one! You will NOT be disappointed! But yeah, do go with the size up on this one.

The whole look turned into country because of nonstop rain, but still had lots of compliments
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: Small

The fit through the body was perfect, but the top was too big. Length was perfect, I ended up pairing the dressing with brown boots and a jean jacket, it was too cold and rainy to wear the heels I wanted to wear. However ended up getting tons of compliments... A little bit country.

Great dress for a formal event! Runs small!
Size worn: 20WR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I normally wear an 18 and this was a 20 and was snug. It fit but I wish I would have got a larger size to try as well. I thought since I already went 1 size up I would def not need it.
Dress does not give much but has a little flexibility. Arms were nice fit and did give a little if needed.
Zipper was difficult to move up and down so I couldn't do it myself.
Length was to the floor with 3" heel and I'm 5'5"ish.
Got lots of compliments.

This dress is cut 2 sizes small!! I REPEAT, THE DRESS IS CUT TWO SIZES SMALL!. I ordered the 16W. The 18W and 20W were out so I had to take my chances on the size 16. I weight 225 pounds, 5'2 in Height. I recommend you go up 2 sizes. I couldn't get the dress pass my arms. The sleeves are cut extremely small.

Not the most flattering for women who are concerned with their tummy, but overall a classy dress.
Size worn: 22WP
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ended up not wearing this to my event because I wasn't crazy about the fit. This dress was 2 sizes up from what I normally wear (I usually wear an 18 and this was a 22) and it still created some "problem areas" around the tummy area. The length was fine, but the material is unforgiving so make sure you wear Spanx or some other type of shapewear on this form-fitting gown!

The fit is amazing however it does run small. I am so glad I ordered one size up otherwise I would have been quite uncomfortable. Also I am quite short (5'3") and this dress was only a little long therefore if you are taller, this may be an issue so measure yourself properly. Overall this was an awesome dress for a formal occasion!!!

The reviews are correct do prefer the next size up but this dress was so comfortable. It is long so if you like your heels do order the long instead of the regular. The train adds a bit of Hollywood!!
