This dress was amazing! I got compliments the whole night!
Size worn: 34
Overall fit: True to Size

I'm very petite so the dress was a little loose in the stomach area, but only I was able to notice. You will have to pull the dress up when dancing cause its strapless, but it isn't a big deal.

Loved the color of this dress..
Size worn: 38
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Date
I thought this dress was beautiful. I loved the color and the fabric.
It did run small and was a little uncomfortable to move around in. I chose not to wear a bra because the material of this dress was thick enough for support but I had to be carefull when raising my arms or bending down to not have a wordrobe malfunction.

Pretty Dress
Size worn: 38
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Although I liked the dress alot, the picture is a little deceiving. The fabric is not quite as elegant as it appears in the photo on the website. I did still love the dress and received many complements. I ordered a 34, and 38 (I needed a 36 but it was already being rented) I usually wear a 0 or 2 dress size. The 34 fit, but was short on me, and too tight. I ended up wearing the 38, and it was big, but more appropriate for the wedding. Overall I really enjoyed my experience with rent the runway, and liked the dress a lot.

It was my rehearsal dinner dress. It was absolutely gorgeous.
Size worn: 36
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
It was a little tight on the hips and around the middle. I was hoping it would have fit a little looser. The neckline dropped a little lower than I would have liked, but all in all it was a gorgeous gown and the fabric/design was beautiful.

It was so fun to get dressed up for a red carpet event!
Size worn: 36
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The 34 was too small. It was tight in the hips and there wasn't enough room for my breasts in the pre-made cups. The 36 was about 1/2" too large all over, but I wore it anyway. I usually have all formal wear altered, so maybe RTR isn't a good idea for me. One of the dresses also smelled faintly of smoke.

My mother's husband asked, "how does it feel to be the most beautiful woman in the world?" ... hello! That moment feels good!
Size worn: 36
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress the night before my wedding for our dress rehearsal. I felt beautiful, it was the perfect dress to be the last one I would wear before the "one" that I would wear to begin my new life. I normally am a "0" and was glad I to have both sizes in this dress, I went with the 36 over the 34.

great evening, so-so dress
Size worn: 34
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Like everyone else, I felt the material was way less luxurious than it looked in the picture. Fit was not flattering either, it was bunchy and loose in the bust area, and offered no support. Dress definitely doesn't look and feel like a designer dress, it almost felt like something you could get from a high street retailer.

I never wore this dress, it came as a back up dress.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Other
I didn't wear this dress, it came as a back up. Beautiful in person but just was too long for my taste and didn't fit me right. I was disappointed because I like my dresses shorter and I just remember this one being a little too long and too big.

Gorgeous dress but a weird fit
Size worn: 38
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was seriously beautiful, but I felt like I was between the 2 sizes I received. This dress has ZERO stretch, so it was tight on my hips but too big on top. I got some fashion tape to hold up the top but without that tape, this dress would not have been wearable.

The dress is a stunner if it fit correctly, but the top of dress didn't fit right in either size.
Size worn: 36
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
The liner rolled over the bust line and looked like a bra was showing in two different sizes, so it wasn't a matter of the dress not fitting but seemed to be an issue with wear. RTR refunded my money because of the inconvenience and, luckily, I had a second dress option that worked perfectly!

This dress looked good on the model but I wasn't even able to wear it to my event because it made my breasts look flat and unflattering.

Really nice in pictures, dull color in person
Size worn: 38
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I didn't love this dress, but still ended up wearing it. Larger size too loose to be flattering and smaller was a little tight on hips and bottom area and since it has the tighter bands that criss cross, those sort of cut into my body in a way I thought wasn't great. Top was a little loose too. That said, I did get a some compliments, so maybe not too bad.

Perfect Summer Formal
Size worn: 36
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress to a summer military ball and it worked perfectly
It was a snug fit but what I expected. If you are blessed with a but I wouldn't pick this dress. I felt like it flattered me but I am very small up top and tall. It's true it's more of a shimmery beige and not gold but I loved the color :)

not really what i expected
Size worn: 36
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
It was a very pretty dress however not what i expected.. The dress looks gold however is a more champagne color and the fabric is not as shiny. Also, I usually wear a 34 but the fabric had no stretch and I had to wear the 36 instead.

awful proportions
Size worn: 42
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I thought this dress would be the winner for a music awards event I was attending, two thumbs down. I'm 36-28-35 and a D Cup. I ordered an 8/42, but RTR didn't have a backup size. It was the largest 8 I've ever tried. It was too big @ the breast and waist, and too tight on the rear, which to me suggested the cut was off or rather not made for an hourglass or pear body type. Very disappointed, especially given the more expensive rental price.

I'm a small gal, who finds it difficult to find formal wear that looks good on someone my size. The dress came below my knees, but I was okay with that. I found it to be a great fit except that my bust is too small to hold up the bodice of the dress so my bra showed during the evening I wore it. But I definitely out shined all the other girls at my event, ;)!

I rented this dress in addition to a second dress for an evening wedding. I wanted two options becaues I didn't know how they would fit and feel. I ended up NOT wearing this dress. I rented the size 40 (equivalent to a 6) and the 42 (equivalent to 8) based on the recommendation of the fit specialist. I tried on the smaller size 6 first and it was large underneath my breasts and upper stomach area. I didn't like the way the way the fabric sort of "puffed out". If I had gone with a smaller size it would have fit better. It's a beautiful dress. I chose not to wear it because my back-up dress looked better on me.

I'm a 2-4. The 2 was too small and the 4 was way to big! Gorgeous dress but it was thick and awkward and didn't work for my figure.(curvy 125lbs)

This dress was gorgeous however I could not wear it because it runs extremely small in the hips. If you have wider hips and larger thighs I would not recommend. I ordered it in my size and a size up and it still was too tight. If you are straight, narrow, and tall, go for it and enjoy!!

I needed to wear a padded strapless bra as I am lacking in the dept. but it was gorgeous for my anniversary. I am very narrow in the hips and it fit!

Beautiful dress! Great for a night out! While the bodice does run true to size, if you're bigger in the chest I would recommend ordering 1 size up!
