This dress was a stunner. I would recommend going a size up - the mesh detail did not have much give. Loved it!

First, this dress is very difficult to get on. Make sure you put it on before you try to do hair and makeup. I found a way finally to step in to the side zipper instead of pulling the whole thing over my head that worked a little better. Once the dress was on, it felt like I had funny little shoulder pads, which turned out to be the padded breast cups that had balled up and travelled all the way into the shoulder straps. Trying to get these babies flattened and in their proper place was an extraordinary effort. Apparently it's a Catharine Dean thing because the other dress I rented had the same problem. All in all the dress was beautiful, but the experience was a stressful one. 

Great rental dress!!! My favorite one, by far. I wish I could own this!! The back is so beautiful, it is so elegant. 

This dress was very comfortable and very flattering. The details of the lace on the front and back or beautiful! If you have long hair, I'd recommend wearing it up so that the details on the back of the dress can be fully exposed. I'd also recommend wearing a nu-bra.  

the material is a thick material that lays very nicely. The lace on the back is gorgeous and not too thin so it doesn't snag.  This dress is sexy and classy at the same time! I wore the 6 because they did not have a 4, it was a little big but still fit great, the 4 would have been a little more snug on my body.

I received a ton of complements on this dress. Top of the dress ran a little big, but it had some structure to it, so it wasn't noticeable.  I did not wear a bra with this dress and felt completely fine - plenty of padding and no side boob.

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I opened the bag!  It is gorgeous & very well made.  It is a bit of a process to get it on, however, & I struggled with the side zipper.  But, once on, the dress is amazing!  It was so comfortable & chic, & gave just the right amount of sophisticated sexiness, without being over the top.  It feels like you're wearing a corset, since the thickness & structure of the material sucks you in so well.  The built-in bra was a nice feature, although I felt the padding was a bit "off" & bunched up.  Even though I am only 5' 2", I felt the length worked fine for me, hitting just below the knee, but fitting tight like  pencil skirt.  I wish I owned this dress & would definitely rent it again!  

This dress fit like a glove! I was hesitant that it would be too warm for an outdoor wedding in August but it was perfect. The lace detail made it sexy yet classy and definitely wedding-appropriate. I received so many compliments in it AND was able to go bra-less (a rare feat with DD!). Another RTR success story!

I got this sent to me because an item I ordered was unable to be sent. I am glad I tried it. It is a very pretty dress, but I felt too self conscious in how it hugged my body. The back is absolutely stunning

This dress was gorgeous! I rented it for a friend's wedding and received tons of compliments. I am VERY chesty and was a little concerned about the bra situation (knowing I couldn't wear one), but all of the reviewers were right - I definitely didn't need one. The fabric was just tight and stretchy enough that the girls were secured just perfectly and the illusion neckline and back were the perfect surprise pop of sexy. 

I am in love with this dress. This was actually a replacement dress due to a shipping disaster. RTR's customer service was great and got this to me in time! This dress fit like a glove and I received so many compliments ALL night. I want to buy this dress! It is so beautiful!

Loved this dress! After reading all the reviews it was very easy to chose what size and I did right! It fit perfectly. Felt like a million bucks! Can't wait to order from RTR again!! 

I wore this to an evening wedding in Vegas. It was perfect. I got a ton of compliments, and I felt so pretty. What's even better is the amazing RTR customer service! My original dress was no longer available, so I was able to pick any dress to replace it, and I went with this one. So glad I did. My husband really liked it as well, which is always a plus! I went with the 6 and wore some Spanx to smooth everything out, but I didn't even need a bra (I'm a 34DD) and everything stayed in place. Super awesome quality. There were a few tiny holes/snags in the mesh, but not really noticeable with the overall look. Great dress!

This dress is amazing. I wore it out on a date during the holidays and it was perfect. * Please note: you cant wear a bra with it due to the sheer back - if you want some coverage I recommend a sticky on bra. The fit is perfect and its actually surprisingly comfortable to wear. I highly recommend this for a date, wedding or formal event. 

Sexy and classy. The fit was snug but I'm between a 2 and 4 and wiggled into the 2 because the 4 was quite loose. Highly recommend for a nice party, rehearsal dinner, or wedding.

I did not love this dress.  I rented this dress through the Unlimited program and wanted to wear it to a charity event that I had planned.  Not only was the dress incredibly difficult to get into, but the cut and fit were very strange.  I typically wear either a 2 or a 4 and the 4 was almost too small.  The pleating on the bust area was also way too high. Also, it is sort of "backless" because a part of the back is covered by see-through lace.  I thought this would be a nice feature but the length of it is odd, as it does not go down far enough. I would not rent this dress again.  Did not even wear it.

Fit was great, probably could have gone down a size.  I have a small bust, so can't speak for everyone on this.  

This dress has beautiful detail and the delicate sheer lace is JUST sexy enough but still allows you to feel like a lady. Personally, I don't normally show my back but the way this dress is made is very forgiving. I felt very comfortable. No need for a bra as there's enough fabric in the front for coverage.

As a shorter person, heels are a must with this one, it came to my knees but still looked good. I wore this dress to celebrate our engagement over Valentine's Day. Since there was 6 inches of snow on the ground I rocked the booties but this would look great with stilettos.

This dress fits true to size with ample room in the bust. I sized up to an 8 because I didn't want too much cleavage to show through the front panel - I should have gone with the 6. The 8 was a size too large on the bottom (but still looked nice) and had extra space in the bust. I wore a sticky bra. There is no way to wear a regular bra. I love the lace back! It is sexy but classy, and the lace begins high enough that you can still wear underwear and the waist won't show. This is an extremely well made dress and I would love to rent it again!

My hips can have a tendency to fit snugly and look wide in a dress, but this was extremely flattering. The material is thick enough to go without a bra and last a night of dancing without wrinkling. It did feel a little snug (especially around the rib cage), but it was still comfortable. Absolutely loved this dress.I love trying new dresses through Rent the Runway, so I've never minded sending them back, but this is the first I really wish I owned. Great compliments all night. 

Wonderful fit, great length for corporate black tie event. A little difficult to put on if you have your hair done due to side zipper, you have to put the dress over your head to get it in. 

The fit was perfect. I am a little busty up top so I had to maneuver things a bit once I got the zipper up. Super fitted but  held everything in. No spanx (or bra) needed. 

Beautiful dress. Everyone loved it. Easy to wear. 

Elegant yet sexy NYE dress. Runs small in the chest, I was unable to zip the size 2 through chest, yet am by no means large chested.  The dress runs a little long past my knees. Otherwise, the size 4 was body hugging and fit perfect. The intricate lace panel is beautiful in front, and especially back.
