This runs true to size but is also a little tight. It doesn't have any give at the upper waist band, so I'd rent two sizes just to be safe. Also, I wore a strapless bra with it and it kept peeking out at the top (annoying on the bra, not the dress), so I'd look for a lower cut strapless bra or a bandeau. Definitely needed a bra. The color is truly beautiful- favorite part of the dress.

I am 6 feet tall so it's not a surprise when dresses run short on me so I went up a size just for length.  In the actual dress, there was not too big of a difference between the two sizes which was nice.  Everything else fit great and the dress was very complimenting.  I suggest it to all!

I love love LOVED this dress and has an overall great experience from RTR. As a shorter woman with a larger chest, it is always a little difficult to hit the right balance of classy and sexy, but this dress was on the money. Fit was true to size, and I feel like the way the chiffon draped would be beautiful for several different body types. The only cons, and they were minor, was that the straps were a little long  for me and the slip was a little on the sorter side of life. Also, I had to sew the hook on at the zipper because it was very loose when I received it. An easy fix to be sure, but something that I would have appreciated RTR fixing before sending the dress to me. I can't wait to order from RTR again and I have my eyes out on eBay to buy this one!

I was looking for a special dress for my bday. I felt like a celebrity and unique at the same time!
I've very small, and was amazed at how it fit like a glove to my body! The dress wasnt to long or short. It was very classy and sexy at the same time.

This dress was much shorter than I expected, as I am only 5 ft tall. It fit like a glove except for the shoulder straps. I have a pretty short torso so the straps kept sliding down and the chest support wasn't so great, but other than that it was very comfortable and flattering.

I LOVED this dress.  It fit great, the color looked amazing in photos and i received lots of compliments on it.  i ended up tucking in the sleeves a bit so they didnt hang down and i liked that look better than the hanging sleeves.  I had ordered a 2 and a 4 just in case and RTR ended up selling my size 4 for the same dates.  RTR gave me the choice of any other dress any price on the site!  Im just so glad the 2 fit perfectly! Since i definitely have a butt i was worried the 2 might be too tight around my butt and thighs but it really did end up fitting just right.  LOVE RTR.  Thank you. 

The vibrant color stood out.  The fit was perfect.  Im 5'6 & it came a little below mid thigh.  The neckline fit perfect.  I was able to wear a bra with it.   I would totally rent this dress again.  I wore this to a wedding & everyone loved it. 

I'm the one on the left wearing the size 4, while my friend is on the right in the size 6. Rented for my 22nd birthday, she got to wear it the following night and have a chance to appreciate men falling all over themselves. This dress received nonstop compliments, it was amazing.

I felt great in this dress and it fit very well. It balloons at the hips a little, but overall I was exceedingly satisfied with the dress.

Absolutely loved this dress.  It's a bit shorter than what it appears in the photo.  Even though it's low cut, I was able to wear my deep-v strapless bra with it.  I wore a size 4 and it fit like a glove. It was comfortable, and I got lots of compliments.  Would definitely recommend renting, it's a 10!

Amazing dress that got a lot of compliments! The straps were a tad big on me and I'm not as chesty but double stick tape helped to keep it from moving. Other than that, I had no problems. It was comfortable and was a great length even though I'm short.

This dress was amazing! i received so many compliments.  I would say the dress was true to size although if you have a larger bust do not rent this dress.  I am an average B and at times felt I was spilling out, other than that I would highly recommend!

This dress is stunning. I wore it to an evening wedding with gold accessories and gold shoes. I am typically a size 6 or 8 in dresses with a decent size bust. I was able to wear a bra with this dress, but used a lot of safety pins to make sure the bra straps didn't show, and a LOT of fashion tape to tone down the amount of cleavage. It is pretty short, and I didn't feel all that comfortable "getting down" on the dance floor b/c of this. It's a great dress, but I think it might be best for a smaller build with small chest. Maybe better for a girl's night out rather than a formal event? Overall, beautiful dress though. 

I rented this dress for a wedding over Memorial Weekend. It was perfect! I'm 5'2" and 110 pounds, so I ordered a size 0 and 2. The 0 fit, but because this dress is super short and low cut, I opted to wear the 2. Above all, this dress is amazing. I received multiple compliments and it certainly was a stunner. I highly recommend it, especially if you want to be a showstopper.

I am about a DD. I have a very small frame though. Will this dress be to showy in the cleavage area for a wedding?

This was my first experience with RTR, and I think I'm hooked. The dress was a show-stopper - I got more compliments than I could count. The only issue was that it was a bit too small and I wish I got the second size up. Word to the wise, always take advantage of ordering that free second size.

All in all, everyone loved it, I loved it. I'll DEFINITELY back for more! Check out my blog entry here: http://wearhausonline.tumblr.com/post/21239299268/rented-the-runway-for-my-birthday-rent-the

This dress is by far the best thing I have ever worn. I was nervous about the fit after reading reviews since I have a good size chest and am curvier than some who had ordered it. But to my surprise, this covered all my insecure areas and highlighted the best parts of me. I only wish I had figured out a bra situation beforehand. You can for sure wear your own bra but I recommend sticky boobs so you wont have to worry about it showing. I styled this look with silver jewelry, and a bold purple peep toe heel. 


If you are slender and on the shorter side, this dress is a dream.  Definitely the top pick of the 6 dresses I've rented from RTR!!!  The underslip is quite short as previous reviewers have mentioned, but for me it was only a minor issue when I was seated.  The chest is plunging- I would not recommend this dress for those over a B-cup, as bust coverage is rather scant.  VERY appropriate for the gala Manhattan wedding I wore it to!!!  If you are self conscious about your hips this may not be the dress for you, as the drapes do add some volume, but I thought it looked lovely.  What a gorgeous dress, I highly recommend it for petites.

I LOVE this dress! Smallish bust needed to make it work (super flattering on A cup) and will be REALLY short if you're 5'7 or taller! 

rented the 0 and it was perfect, except couldve been just a tiny bit tighter in the waist. This dress looks gorgeous on a slim figure! SO flattering. I got tons of compliments. Everyone commented on how pretty I was and how they had never seen a dress like it. Perfect! 

Great dress! I got tons of compliments! One thing is that the cups are a bit small. I am a size 2 but a 34D and I was 'popping out' a bit.
