Lovely dress
Great length for the petite. However, was bigger in the bust and I am very busty. It would need some tape to hold still.

Beautiful gown!!
I originally ordered this dress in sizes 0R and 2R for my junior prom which was canceled the day of due to weather - RTR was kind enough to give me store credit to use on any future order because I wasn't able to wear the dress! I then rented the same dress for my re-scheduled prom. On the new weekend I needed the dress, my original sizes were not available so I ordered a 2P and a 4P - the 2P ended up being a better fit than the 0R! This dress is definitely better for taller people though, seeing as I am 5'3 wearing 4' heels and the dress still brushed the ground. I also had to use a safety pin on the front of the dress to keep everything in place. Other than that, no complaints! This is such a beautiful gown that was perfect for my prom - I would definitely recommend!

Gorgeous color!
I'm small chested so it did require a lot of fashion tape to keep it from gaping, especially when sitting. I wore this for a military ball, so didn't want to be showing too much cleavage. I loved the open back and the flow of the dress. It is long and I did step on it all night, however. The dress looked absolutely gorgeous and I got tons of compliments though!

Black Tie Optional Gala
I felt so elegant and beautiful in this lavendar, chiffon gown. I had to use some fashion tape to secure the bust area and part of my bra strap was showing in the back, despite using a low strap attachment. Still loved the dress nonetheless!

Sexy but Elegant
This dress is stunning. It very fitted and has a very low V in the front and back so you cannot wear a bra. I had to tape myself in place because I have boobs. The fit through the shoulders was a little big but I am only 5'1" so I think if you are taller than me it should be fine. I got lots of compliments including one from the most beautiful person there (the bride).

Pretty but I wouldn't wear again. It was a formal wedding in the summer so this fit the bill. Just wasn't one of my favorite rentals but it works.

Loved this dress The color was perfect a light Lilac color.. Loved The Fabric
Loved the style and Color and fabric .. The only thing that was a pain in the butt was the chest area.. It runs a little big.. So I had to safety pin it so my boobs wouldn't hang out.. That's the only thing though

I got so many compliments on this dress. Loved it!
Definitely consider getting the petite if you are under 5'4". I am 5' 3 1/2" and if I had worn the regular, I would have had several inches of hem dragging along the floor.

So comfortable. Didn't need to worry about a bra.
perfect fit. I'm 5'9" and got the regular, but could have gone long. It was long enough, but just barely with a 2" heel. If you are wearing heels, get long. Flats - Regular.

so so beautiful, and got so many compliments!
I wore this to my senior prom and I couldn't be any happier with the dress I chose. I got so many compliments throughout the night; it ran a bit big still on me even at a zero (had to use some fashion tape to fix that). either way though, I LOVED this dress so much and it's definitely something to get for any formal occasion.

Beautiful dress, some minor issues
Top fit nearly perfectly though bust was slightly big (not a real issue). Slip underneath small and ended up bunching underneath the dress quite a bit so had to readjust. I am ~5'7", wore 3" heels and the dress was 1 1/2 inches too long. The clasp also came broken, though customer service was incredibly helpful in finding a solution to the broken clasp and length. I ended up getting temporary alterations and the clasp fixed at a local tailor and RTR has said they will reimburse up to $25. Overall, beautiful dress for a great night! Got so many compliments from friends and random students :) Loved the chiffon texture and the modest open back.

order a size up
Very pretty dress for the right person, but make sure you order a size up in order for the lining to hang correctly. This was my primary dress (I ended up wearing my back-up) and I ordered it in my usual size 10 and back up size 12. The 10 did not fit right because the lining runs small and it was also very tight around the waist. The 12 fit fine, but with my large chest all the fabric made me look matronly. Recommend this dress for thin, athletic, and hourglass.

Wore for my Junior prom and had a serious attachment to the dress! Wanted to keep it!
This dress was absolutely beautiful and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it on the app. It loved up to expectations in person and I got compliments the whole night. The dress does run large. I usually wear a 4 but the 2 fit nicely, even a little big (but not noticeable). I didn't have to use any fashion tape and was able to not wear a bra with the dress

Beautiful classy sophisticated maid of honor dress
I rented this dress as a maid of honor. My instructions were any dress that is floor length and lilac. This was pretty much my only RTR option (in my budget at least) so I went for it. I wasn't crazy about it at first but figured MOH dresses aren't supposed to be "hot" or "sexy". The day of the wedding it looked absolutely beautiful. The top twist tie looked fine (that's what I was uneasy about). The neckline V was loose like others have stated but I fixed it with tape and a pin. I got compliments from wedding guests as well as on Facebook the next day! I rented the 0R and 2R based on other reviews and the 0R fit perfect and the length was fine. Could have been an inch longer, I am 5'10 (I wore flats). Perfect dress for what I needed.

It was amazing
This was my first RTR experience. When I first tried on the dress it fit me like a glove. I bought this in a 4R and a 6R but ended up wearing my normal size a 4. This dress was comfortable. It made me feel like a goddess and was very classy. I recieved quite a few compliments. If it shows too much cleavage for you just safety pin it together, that's what I did.

Beautiful color, but requires a strapless bra...
RTR selected this dress and sent it to me when my original style was unable to ship last minute. I didn't love it because it requires a strapless bra, but the stylist was so helpful and I ultimately ended up wearing the Watercolor Lilies Maxi gown by Badgely Mischka. Free shipping overnight, and I was one happy customer. If you are ok with a Nu-Bra, or going without, this gown is lovely. There isn't enough lift or support for a 34D to go without a bra in this dress, in my opinion. Still pretty, though!

Formal event made even better by this dress!
Exquisitely crafted dress with a draping effect that wonderfully accentuates curves while hiding any insecurities. I wore this to a formal affair and it was the perfect combination of elegance with just a touch of "vixeny" sexiness. I was nervous about the revealing aspect of the front but with just a bit of fashion tape, it fit like a dream. The color is a beautiful, pastel purple-not a color you see at a lot of events which I loved! Highly recommend.

Wore it at a non-profit fundraising gala
I rented this dress for a non-profit fundraising gala and got so many compliments on the design and color of this dress. It looked the same on me as it did in the photo. I'm 5'8" but when I wear heels, I' m much taller so I ordered the long length and it perfectly almost touched the floor.

Loved this dress! Did not want to return it!
The dress was lovely and beautiful. I got the OR and the dress was perfect length with my 4" heels. I read other reviews and heard that the front tends to open when you sit down so I bought dress tape and it worked perfectly. Definitely getting another dress from RTR again!

The top of this dress is very loose. If you are small chested this dress will not fit. I bought the bra cups that RTR has as well as had to tape it to myself. The dress flowed as you walked and was very elegant for my fiance's law school ball.

This dress was beautiful, I got so many compliments on it.
The only issue with this dress was that it does run long. Unless you have a very long torso, I recommend going for a petite size that is one size bigger than your regular. Even with 3" heels I was tripping over it.

I wore this to my fiances' Air Force ball. It was perfect!
The dress was a little long even with four inch heels, so if you're petite like I am, wear tall shoes. Fashion tape and a sticky bra are necessary to not having a wardrobe malfunction. The color is so soft and pretty; it's very feminine!

I felt glamorous, elegant, received compliments all night. My boyfriend said I was sexy/beautiful
It fit perfectly, though the back was a little loose I figured that's so you can dance and move around without it getting too tight. The length was great but a bit much for me, I've never worn a dress that long and I tripped quite a few times on the bottom even with 3.5 inch heels. I used sticky tape for the front and a sticky bra sold on rtr, they lasted all night even with vigorous dancing.

Easy shipping and very reliable.
The dress was very beautiful and comfortable. It's longer than I wish it had been. I work short (2in heels). The length would have been perfect with taller heels. Also, the arm sleeves were a little long which caused the breast and back part to droop a bit. Nothing some minimal non-invasive tailoring couldn't fix.
I'm usually a 4 but it was too snug. I'm also 4 months pregnant, 5'3", and about 130lbs in this photo. My body still hadn't fully "toned up" since my last pregnancy but this dress made me feel beautiful nonetheless.

Goddess dress
Like all the other reviews you will need fashion tape for this dress!! It flows beautifully, the color is lovely and I felt like a goddess in it! I'm 5'9 got a long dress and wore 3 inch heels and the dress was about an inch off the floor. It was VERY figure flattering and will make your curves look just right.

This was actually a back-up dress I received for a black-tie wedding. I got so many compliments! It does run large and long - I usually wear a size 4 and wore a size 2 in this dress. I am also 5'10" and was wearing three inch heels and the dress was still dragging a lot. I should of stuck with the 2R. Overall, I loved it so much!

just a strange dress..
I'm not sure what body type this dress is made for. Perhaps someone with a larger chest than I have? It fit for the most part - a size smaller would have been better - but the open back was loose in some really weird places. I was sent this as a back up for a size that was unavailable and I'm just really unsure about it as a whole. The neckline in the front is very weird and the back is just too open. Pretty dress - just not for me.

Compliments all night
I rented this dress for my sister. People were complimenting her all night. This dress is more beautiful in person. It's also very comfortable, which is great when you're dancing all night. She used fashion tape so that the cleavage area would stay in place. She's 5.5 ft, and used" heals, and the regular length was perfect.

Beautiful dress - get double-sided tape!
Formal military ball. First time bringing the kids. Little Ms. can't wait until dress fits her. Dress fit very well; forgiving through hips and belly. Definitely needed double-sided tape. Didn't have mine, felt a little risqué, so used some duct tape about halfway through the night. Photographed really well, almost better than looked in person. Was a bit of a dare for me, typically dress more conservative, but loved this dress.

sits funny but a great curve-hugger
this dress was pretty all right- my first order from renttherunway, and i wore it to senior prom! i'm usually a size 6-8 but went with sizes 4 and 6; size 4 actually fit okay, but i went with the 6 because i knew i'd be full after dinner- and i was right. it's a tight dress, which i personally loved! i love how it draws in a defined waistline. the mesh side panels aren't noticeable when you wear it. the center part was much too open, and using fashion tape with my mom to try and close it up was a mess, but in the end it all worked out. i think the way the top half of the dress sits on me, someone with a shorter torso, in a funny way that doesn't lie flat, so it didn't look the same on me as the model, but i liked how it hugged me anyway. it's a very long dress and something i just ran and worked with (actually couldn't help dirtying it a bit at the ends but did not get charged for it). i would wear it again!

Even the bride complimented this dress.
I feel I should start this off by saying, if you are very well-endowed (I am a 36E) in the chest area, I would avoid this dress. It doesn't offer much support and you can not fit a bra under it.. you will be adjusting all night. HOWEVER, I am used to that issue and I loved wearing this regardless (just wouldn't pick it again). After reading other reviews, I stocked up on fashion tape, which only helped keep in in place for a couple minutes. Remember, if you're going to an event with dancing or clapping, you'll be moving around! The color is just STUNNING in person, a lot brighter than the model photos.. it's comfortable, and it's fun to dance in. Even with the Long-option, it was just hitting the floor so I had to wear flats. I received a lot of compliments (from strangers of all age groups) about the gown.

I wore this dress for my junior prom and it was almost flawless! I got so many compliments!
The fit was great except for the bust area. The neckline is extremely low cut which was an issue as I have a fairly large bust. I had to improvise with some last minute tacking so I could wear the dress comfortably and without a bra (the back is open). Other than that, I felt like a supermodel in this dress!
