Great Color
Size worn: 14
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Other
I rented this dress for my birthday dinner at a fancy hotel/restaurant. I got many compliments, especially on the color. I wore a strapless bra slip underneath. I normally wear a size 12, but my backup size, the 14, fit much better. I think this dress could have been more flattering - in certain light the round neckline did not photograph well. Also, at 5'8" this dress was a tad on the short side, especially when I sat down. However, my worry that this dress would be too fall-y or winter-y was for naught - the rich color works in any season. Overall it was a pretty dress that was comfortable to eat in!

I thought I would wear the 4, but I squeezed into the 2 and it looked better. The tightest spot was in the "cuff" of the sleeve. Once I had it on for a while it became more comfortable. The color was really pretty, and I got some compliments, but nothing WOW! Which is fine, I guess, for a work event. I liked, but didn't love, this dress.

Birthday Glam!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
i wore this dress to a surprise 30th birthday party for my friend (in the center in the Badgley Mischka seequins.) I loved the bright fuschia-y pink and on-trend lace.
The shoulders and arms are cut a bit small, so it wasn't the most comfortable dress to wear for an extended period of time. I'm normally a size 0 (though I was 11 weeks pregnant when I wore this), and the 2 was the smallest size they offered. It was slim through the torso and legs, but not tight, so I'm not certain a 0 would have fit.
This dress was the perfect finishing touch on a day of fun that included facials, pedicures, and a blow out!

After a recent huge weight loss, this dress made me feel beautiful!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size

My daughter talked me into renting this dress and I was really nervous about it. I don't dress up and am not into fashion, but my daughter felt that we should celebrate my 100 lbs weight loss with RTR. I felt so beautiful and rejuvenated in this dress and received so many compliments. It was the first time in years I felt like being in pictures. Because of my age, I didn't feel comfortable with my arms showing through the lace, so I wore a coverup, however the sleeves did fit quite well.

I rented the dress for a wedding & it was perfect. The color is gorgeous & it fits well. I agree with the others, though..the dress is tighter in the arms than anywhere else. It wasn't as fitted through the waist as I was expecting, but it was still flattering. I'd definitely rent it again.

Favorite thing I've ever worn. Felt so elegant. Compliments all night.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress! Oh, this dress. It's my favorite thing I've ever worn. I felt so elegant and timeless, but still on-trend. The color and slightly tight (curve-flattering) cut prevent the lace chest and sleeves from feeling dowdy. Color was bold but not flashy (not too saturated, like some reviews made it seem). Even though I have no occasions coming up to wear it again, I felt sad to have to return it -- it really felt like it became "my" dress. (So now I want to have more formal events just so that I can wear this dress again and feel that glamorous.)
Received compliments from other guests all night long (several of whom said I was the best dressed; one of whom compared me to Kate Middleton!).
Fit: skimmed my body perfectly. Really flattering cut. Sleeves a little bit tight (especially if your dance style revolves waving your arms in the air a bunch... just me?)

I wore it to a wedding and paired it with my own Pour La Victoire Irina II grey patent leather pumps and the Janis Savitt Color Me Pretty earrings from Rent The Runway. I loved my outfit! It was cool and rainy the night I wore it. I think the dress might be too warm for the upcoming summer months. I'm 5'7'' so the dress was a perfect length for a conservative wedding. On someone shorter, it might be too long. Overall, it's a beautiful and comfortable dress!

it was my first RTR experience and I couldn't be more thrilled! the color was definitely more raspberry pink than the dark purple it sometimes appears in pictures. everything else was just as i hoped- both dresses arrived on time, in perfect condition, and it was so easy to ship everything back when i was done! i was getting compliments for weeks after the event and now my friends want to try RTR!

Overall fit: True to Size

I'm hard to fit at 6'0 but this dress worked. The fabric was giving and the dress was easily worn with a strapless bra. The waist hit a bit high on me but that is due to my height and I'm used to 99% of my dresses needing significant alterations. I accented with a cocktail ring and dangling earrings ~ I didn't want to distract from the detail in the lace. Great night with wonderful friends ~ all also adorned in RTR.

This dress was so beautiful. I was the first one to wear it, got to cut the tags off! My only minor complaint is the color of the dress on the model isn't accurate. I was expecting a berry/wine-ish color, but the dress is brighter and more magenta in person. I was a little disappointed it was so bright at first, but after putting it on I loved it. The smallest size available is a 2. I would have preferred a 0 as it was a little big, but it still fit and looked great. I'd definitely recommend this dress for a classy night out!

I wore this dress to my daughter's bridal shower, and got many compliments. It's very comfortable, easy to slip on, and I just felt PRETTY in it! The end of the sleeves sit at the elbows, and except for occasionally pulling them down after they would bunch a little, I never noticed them. I don't attend many formal events or parties so I chose to rent. But THIS DRESS I would have loved to have kept!

I originally ordered the 4 & 6 but after reading everyone's reviews, I was afraid it would be too small. I changed my order to get the 6 & 8 & wish I hadn't because the 4 would've been best. The fit is pretty true to size. I wore it with the Dance tip Dawn ring & Star Light Star Bright necklace/bracelet & they were such perfect accessories for this dress. I definitely recommend all.

Beautiful fabric and color got the dress compliments all night
Size worn: 14
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Absolutely beautiful dress that makes you feel elegant and attractive at the same time. I'm rather fair skinned with dark auburn hair, and the color worked beautifully with both. The length was not an issue for me at 5'10", and I didn't have to worry about any accidental views, which is always a relief. Also, although it suggests a strapless bra, you could get away with a nude bra with straps if you want to as a) it'd be hidden by the lace pretty well and b) that and if you have long hair down as well, it pretty much conceals a bra. For fit, I upsized from a 12 to a 14 just because the 14 gave me a little more room in the shoulders, as the lace can be pretty itchy when the dress is a closer fit (the extra fabric on bottom didn't look like a problem at all). HIGHLY recommend this dress!

Size worn: 14

I put on some weight recently, so I was worried about how this would fit because I have been wearing anything from a 10 to a 14, and this looked more like a shift-style then an hour glass, so I expected some tummy to show that may be unflattering. While I was wearing Spanx, my tummy was as flat as I could have hoped for. The sleeves and quality of the lace are awesome, and it is short enough to be sexy without being too much. I paired with a nude heel and was very comfortable, although a little bit warm dancing. Overall, a really pretty dress for any age and many events.

This dress was gorgeous! The color is a stunner but unfortunately, I didn't get to wear this dress :( I ordered a 12 and usually select a 14 for backup but it wasn't availible at the time. The 14 would have worked perfectly. This dress was just a little too snug in the hips for my work gala event. I needed to be able to move around and it was a bit too constricting for the occasion. I will defintiely consider renting the 14 for a future event though! The dress was beautiful.

Great dress and the color is incredibly flattering for those of us on the paler end of the spectrum. I was smack dab between sizes and while both were wearable I went with the larger size for comfort. It felt a little bit shorter than it appears in pictures. Was able to wear a strapless bra with it. Lots of great options for accessories!

I did not wear this dress but it is a beautiful color and very flattering.
Size worn: None

However, this dress was selected for a seven hour wedding event. I struggled to keep the lining from slipping down and exposing the strapless bra. Even fashion tape didn't hold the lining in place more than a few minutes. To be fair, I often have bust line issues with formal wear (36D). Though the 12 fit perfectly and the 14 was a little large, I hoped the lining might behave better with the 14. Was not the case. Thankfully my back up dress was ideal and totally hassle free. Lesson learned---always have a back up!
