The quality of this dress is amazing. I bought this for a special Friday night work awards ceremony and it was perfect. Beautifully made with gorgeous fabric. I sized up because it's no returns and it fit a little loose, which is what I was going for. Loved being able to buy it at such a great price!

This dress could be hard to pull off, but it fits my occasion perfectly. Was looking for a gothic, lacy, bright red, vava-voom dress and this is it! Super architectural and the mesh color matched my skin well.

Wore to a wedding that required cocktail attire. The dress is absolutely beautiful and I received so many compliments. 

Although this dress is stunning, I went with my backup dress to a semi-formal wedding, simply because this would’ve been really hard to dance in, given the length and no slit.  Beautiful dress, though! 

I received so many compliments in the dress. It’s a stunner 

I was invited last minute to join my cousin at the China Theater in Hollywood to literally walk the red carpet for his movie premier. I chose this dress, and I felt fabulous. Tia Carrere, who also wore red, complimented me on my dress. 

First of all, the red carpet is far from my natural habitat. I just have talented relatives. I'm more comfortable in running gear. So, I wanted to wear something comfortable. Also, since it was last minute, and I'm petite, I knew that I had to pick a style of dress that I could get away with for my body type and in terms of length and fit. I had to be very strategic because I had no other choices. 

I'm 5'2" on good days. I usually wear size 0P in dresses. This dress did not have a petite size option. The size 0 fit great. If you're larger chested, you may want to size up as the zipper was snug going up. I wore two-inch heels, and the dress hit just above ankle length. The straps are also adjustable. 

Finding myself completely out of my element, I fit right in and felt great on the red carpet. 

Fit like a glove, got so many compliments on this dress! Perfect for a wedding

The dress was beautiful and the length was perfect for someone on the shorter side. I had a hard time pulling the zip up by myself though - you will need someone to help you!  

The lace detailing is even nicer and high quality in person. Dress runs small - was definitely tight on my chest and rib cage (36 C). The straps were loose when I received it and ended up snapping during the night. Needless to say, not easy to dance in. 

I needed help zipping up the mid big ribbed section so it wasn't me haha. Beautiful color 

 This dress was so comfortable but it did run a little big around my hips.  The adjustable straps are great, but both straps did break - one in the hotel room before the wedding and the other at the reception.  I was able to sew them back easily, but if there were no sewing kits available it could have been a bigger issue.  Despite the straps I would definitely recommend!

The zipper is a little hard to zip up, but dress fits like a glove. I got so many compliments the entire night. And, color is incredibly beautiful and flattering 

Felt like a million bucks in this stand out piece! I wore it for a black tie wedding and it really felt so luxe 

This is a beautiful dress. It looks expensive & the lace is high quality. It is a smidge stretched out in the hips. I am 32DD, 26" waist, 37" hips and the size 2 had a little wiggle room. The nude liner bunches up when you walk, but it isn't very noticeable to others. Also, the zipper sticks around the waist (even when not wearing) so I had to carefully tug to zip it. Overall I would recommend this dress. 

The detail is incredible and the color is so rich & vibrant. Nicely lined so undergarments aren't a concern. Absolutely gorgeous. 

Fit was perfect, I wore spanx underneath but probably didn't need to because of the thick material. Usually wear a size 8 and that's what I wore. 36D, didn't need a bra- there are cups inside. I'm 5'6" and hit just above my ankles. Loved it!!

Lots of compliments on this dress. I'm usually between a 6 and an 8 and the 6 worked great. It has a lingerie feel to it. My date loved it. 

I wore this for the Rehearsal Dinner of a friends wedding & received so many compliments on it! It's a very sophisticated & elegant looking dress and was very comfortable to wear!  Fit was tire to size and the detail in the stitching was stunning!

This dress was perfect. I am usually a 0-2 and 5'4 and 115 lbs and wore the 0. I got so many compliments from people. The dress was very comfortable and well fitting. Would recommend! 

Gorgeous dress but I should have sized down for a more figure hugging silhouette. To be fair I'm pear/ hourglass shaped so I always struggle with items being a little looser on top. If you can get the sizing right I'd definitely recommend 

I rented this dress for a wedding I attended in India. I was looking for something unique and with color. I'm short so it fit almost like a gown, which was what I wanted. It hurt so bad to say goodbye to this one. I felt like a million bucks in it. 

This dress is incredible. It's one of the most gorgeous things I've rented so far. I wore this to a formal family Christmas Eve dinner and it was a big hit. It's such a beautiful, detailed, elegant dress. I'm 5'2" and it hit around my ankles, which actually looked lovely. The 2 fit me like a glove (I'm usually a 0/2, but I've put on a little extra weight and now I'm more of a solid 2, maybe 4), although there was a bit of extra room in the bust (32A). The zipper stuck a bit, but stunning dress.

This dress was beautiful, the lining matched my skin tone perfectly. I didn't end up wearing because it was to loose on the hips and you could see the lining bunch up. I'm a bit mismatched in size from top to hips, but I'd recommend if you are proportional! 

This dress is perfect and comfortable for a late fall wedding. If you have curves be careful because the zipper snags.

Fit was tighter but the 2R was a good fit for me. I am shorter so this was longer on me but I liked that. Overall this was an amazing dress!! I got so many compliments on this dress and it was absolutely unforgettable. I wore it to a NYC wedding and it was comfortable for the entire time I wore it! Don't hesitate and rent this dress!!

Rented this dress for a wedding at a castle and felt stunning in it! It was comfortable to wear and didn't need to be dressed up with anything. I received so many compliments in this dress!  

I was sent this dress as a replacement for my original dress being unavailable last minute. I'm soooo glad RTR sent me this dress. It was beautiful, flattering, and was very comfortable. The dress is very forgiving, easy to move and dance in. The only drawback was that this dress seemed very well loved: some of the thread keeping the red lace at the bust was falling off the silk underneath, so it was a little floppy and sloppy. However, nobody besides myself noticed, and everyone kept telling me how beautiful the dress is. Definitely rent this dress!!!

This dress fit like a charm! I'm a pretty curvy lady so I am always hesitant about ordering things online. This dress was surprisingly perfect. I wore it to a wedding and received SO many compliments. At one point my date said to me, "rent the runway should really be paying you commission for all the free advertising they've gotten tonight." Would absolutely recommend this dress.

The dress fit very well and I received so many compliments throughout the evening! It did come down to my ankles though, so it was basically a full length dress, which I actually preferred. 

Fit was great, but like most RTR dresses, the zipper gets stuck halfway up. 

This dress was my 13th rental from RTR and by far one of the best. Beautiful detail, forgiving around the waist, hit mid-calf and the straps are adjustable. I had a sneaky wire in the bodice trying to pop up but it wasn't annoying and you couldn't see it. I got numerous compliments from strangers while wearing this dress - I will definitely rent this one again!  

Loved this dress - would def rent again. The design is gorgeous. I'm 5,2 and 34e and the dress fit perfectly! 

This dress is super sexy without showing too much. great if you are curvy.

I rented this for my law school Barrister's Ball. It was STUNNING and everyone complimented me on it the entire night. For perspective, I am 5'1 and 145 lbs. I usually wear a size 10, but when I received the size 10 it was too big and baggy in areas it should not have been. The size 10 also did not hit the correct length to be a tea length dress. With all of that being said, I suggest getting a size down. However, overall this dress is beautiful and surprisingly comfortable. I cannot say enough how much I adored this dress.

Beautiful and got so many compliments! Only down side is that it's longer than the photo... in 5'3" and it was almost to my ankles. It was great for what I needed, but wish it was a little shorter. 

The details of the dress are stunning! So many compliments! 

Pros: The color popped on my skin, the fit was immaculate, and the dress could be adaptable to a formal affair to a cocktail party 
Cons: There is no slit of the nude satin underneath the lace in the back to the dress.  The lace has a slit though. 

This dress was my back up choice. My original dress was not able to be sent. Loved the dress and material. Because I am short, I was able to pull this dress off as a long formal.

Wore this to my company holiday party which was Gatsby themed. Gorgeous dress but the chest was a little more modest than I would have liked. It was looser on my chest than the rest of the dress fit. End of the night, my strap snapped! Which was unfortunate but they are thin so it was understandable. Overall beautiful dress and I received a ton of compliments just kind of a funky fit in the boobs
