Catherine Malandrino

It fit me a little long, but i blame that on MY height, not the dress. It does fit true to size. I got so many compliments on this dress. I loved it.

Loved this dress! I am around 5'7, 130lbs, and I ordered the SR. The dress came right above my toes in my heels, and dragged just a little on the floor without shoes. The color was slightly richer than in the picture which I LOVED, and everything about it fit PERFECTLY! I wore it to my prom, it was stretchy and comfortable, and really easy to dance in! From the picture, I was a little worried about the front draping looking a little funny, but it ended up being very slimming and it looked great. It was such a beautiful dress, I hated having to send it back!

This dress was perfect. I felt a hint of glamour, sexy but not overtly and above all, I was comfortable dancing in it! I'm 5'6"ish, not quite 5'7", and the length was just great. I wore the small (regular) to a black tie summer wedding and even though I'd rather not wear the same dress twice, I'd wear this one in a heartbeat!

This dress fitted me fabulously at a major Red Carpet event in Hollywood! I had so many compliments. This dress is true to size. As a mother of two, what I love about the structure of this dress is that it camouflages my small pouch from my previous pregnancy--wore 3 inch heels. I recommend wearing "spanx" shapewear for a smoother silhouette and for those that stated in earlier reviews that this dress clings--all you have to do is wear lotion on your legs and/ or spray static cling on your shapewear. All the clinging and static was gone. I realize that Rent the Runway is becoming more and more a popular option for women, so I am going to recommend that customers consider renting a second dress ( the $25 extra) for a second option. I saw a woman at the event that I was at and she was wearing the dress that would have been my third option to rent. Luckily I stuck with this dress. But, in case someone has the same dress at the same event you're at, it's good to have that standby dress as an another option, waiting in a car or at home. $25 dollars is worth the investment.

This dress ran long on me, but fit my curves perfectly. I wasn't expecting the material to be like it was though, so I had to use a dryer sheet to get the static cling off of my legs. This is a good dress if you're in shape, but if you're not, it's going to show off everything you'd rather not show. Loved the dress :)

Absolutely loved this dress! I received both the XS and S and ended up wearing the XS. I'm just a tad under 5'7" and both sizes were actually a bit short on me. You could see my shoes and they were probably only 2.5 inches high. The color on this dress is stunning, great choice for an event where you don't want to be the center of attention but you want some color on you!

This dress is perfect for a semi formal event. I am so pleased with this dress which Is very elegant but not over the top. I am a mother of 4 and this dress did hide my belly pooch :). Just wear spanks and let me tell u for my straight not perfect figure this dress gave me great shape. Length is also perfect, I'm a little over 5'3 and wore 3.5 in heels and it hits just right above the bottom of the heel of my shoe so my toe only peaks out and I don't have to hold the dress when I walk. Color is so rich and vibrant that will look good with any skin tone.

it was my sisters wedding and i was the maid of honor. She told me she wanted me to wear this color, to look classy, yet fashionable. This dress is better in person then in pictures. The material, the overall fit is exceptional. This dress made my body look perfect. Im not a fan of long dresses, but this dress changed my mind. This dress is perfect for ALL body types.. DONT BE AFRAID LADIES.. if you like it, go for it. The other brides maid wore this dress as well, and we are very different in body's, she's thicker than me. But she looked just as beautiful, it complimented her body perfectly. she felt so sexy and comfortable. I RECOMMED THIS DRESS FOR EVERY WOMEN IN ALL SIZES... Make sure to wear spanx ladies, it makes the dress look even more beautfiul!

This is a beautiful dress and I would have loved to have worn it, but the M was too tight in the bust and the L was too big. Also, the MR was really short ( I am 5' 4") If I ever see this dress for purchase, I would get the LR and have it altered. This is obviously a very popular rental. There were definite signs of wear and tear. Maybe time to retire !

I rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal, because I wanted to feel stunning. First of all, I will say: I'm 5'2", and even with my tallest 5" heels, the dress was still touching the ground. I would say that you need to be at least 5'8" (whether by nature or heels) to wear this dress comfortably. The color is gorgeous, and the detail on the bodice is impeccable. The draping around the crotch and hips can be...a little strange? It photographs oddly at times, but the dress is very comfortable. It's large in the bust, so I used my padded push-up bra and it filled out the line nicely, but I think overall it runs small.

I rented this dress for a wedding in Philly this past weekend. While I did like the color, the slouching in the front of the dress gave it a maternity feel to me. Another part I did not like was that the zipper on the left side of the dress bunched up a bit.

I rented this dress for the Burlesque Hall of Fame Legends Event. The color is gorgeous- bright and vibrant cobalt blue. The fabric was stretchy and soft in a slinky way, and is very clingy. If you have concerns with smoothness, you might want spanx. I was able to wear a regular bra, which was nice. The dress was also quite long, I was surprised. With my shoes it was perfect. When I first tried this dress on, I didn't love the draping in the front. I felt it made me look rounder than I am, instead of camouflaging and concealing. I ended up wearing a small cincher to flatten my front a bit more and felt in the end, quite successful. I received many compliments and had perfect strangers asking to take my photo.

I would normally consider myself a medium, and the medium fit perfectly! It is form-fitting, so make sure you have a good undergarments, I am about 5' 3", and it hit right at my foot. I wore about 4" heels and you could still see most of the shoes. This was an event with dancing, and I was able to dance without any problems.

Loved the feel, color and overall fit. I'm renting for a second time, I loved it so much! The color blue is perfect for my skin tone (I have fair olive skin). I wore silver jewelry with it but I think it would go great with silver or gold. The rouching is perfect to hide any "problem" areas and the the full back allows me to wear a supportive bra which I need (I'm a 36 D).

The fit was great. I had a larger backup size, just in case the fabric was too clingy -- but it draped perfectly in all the right places. I got a lot of compliments on the color. It was nice not to be in predictable black!

The fit is super flattering. I'm 5'11", and the long was the perfect length for heels. I'm also a DD, and this was great for large chests. Also really comfortable and forgiving in all the right places. I wish I could wear it for every black tie wedding!

absoloutely no issues for this dress. It was very comfortable and I didn't want to take it off. Definitely wear spanx if you have any bulges you don't want to be seen

The fit was true to size; very classy; a nice stretchy fit just the way I like it so it hugs my curves... Received so many compliments!!

Beautiful color, and I loved the way the top looks. I liked the other dress I rented just a little bit more, so I didn't end up wearing this one, but it was still a very nice choice.

Always lookig for extra length and this defiitely had it. Fit well, maybe a little large for size. Would rent it again.

The fit was good and it was comfortable, material was stretch. The inner lining showed and as you can see in the pic, did not sit as I expected on my hip due to my long torso.

I wore this to a black tie wedding. Very beautiful! So comfortable, would definitely rent again if I need a long gown. The material is so silky and soft and fit in all the right places. The pictures I have don't do it justice and wish I got better ones. I'm 5'4 and the length of the dress with 3 inch heels was perfect.

I love this dress! I wish it were mine forever. It was the perfect choice for the official Presidential Inaugural Ball. The fit was great! I initially thought I should wear a larger size, but the small fit perfectly. I only wish it were slightly shorter, the regular was about 2 inch too long for anyone under 5'3.

Loved this dress! So comfortable. Beautiful color. Very flattering! Ran alittle large -- I ordered the 4 and 6, wore the 4....could have worn a two.....fabric has lots of stretch and the draping hides tummy bulge. Would get regular size and one size down next time.

When I ordered this I thought I ordered a second size of a different length. Unfortunately somehow that didn't happen. When it arrived the dress definitiely fit but I would have loved it to be just a little longer. It fit my body really well and my husband loved it. This was my first Rent The Runway experience. I will definitely try it again.

The dress had enough stretch to make a comfortable fit. The color was splendid. The draping in the front of the gown hides any flaws.

Perfect formal dress for someone who is pregnant! Super comfortable and flattering on my 5+ month belly. I got a lot of compliments and felt fabulous! Beautiful color and style. Perfect length with 3 inch heels.

The fit was true to size, it was easy to walk and dance in, and it complemented by pear shaped body type wonderfully. I wish I had gotten it in regular length because at 5'4" with four inch heels on, the dress did drag a bit. Otherwise, I had a wonderful time in it.

I had a black tie event with my husband and was 18 weeks pregnant at the time so I didn't want to spend on a dress that I knew I would for sure never wear again so I decided to give it a try with RTR. I originally ordered the Badgley Mischka Flora Chiffon Gown and the Barbuda Beach Gown but none of them fitted me nice. The first one just felt too tight on my rib cage (I had to wear it a bit higher than the waist line in order to be above the belly) and I couldn't fill the cups of the second one in the size I needed to wear to fit my belly. Now I'll be honest with you, the Caterine Malandrino wasn't even one that I looked at but the the stylist assured me I would love it and feel comfortable in it and she was 150% right! This dress is stunning, show your curves and is extremely comfortable (kept telling my husband I felt like I was wearing one of my cute summer dress!). The picture on the website doesn't do it justice, trust me! Go for it, pregnant or not, it's a gorgeous dress!!!!!

The fit was great, and the dress was so, so comfortable. Wish I had it in my closet.

I ordered a size 6R, it was a little big, I think that the 4R would have fit perfectly. Notwithstanding, I recieved so many compliments on the gown I felt like royalty. I would recommend this gown to anyone who has a formal event they are attending and needs a classy elegant look. This is it!

The dress was a perfect fit. I am 5'9" and I wore 4 inch heels and the dress did not touch the floor. It was comfortable. The stretchy material does show underwear and the gathering in the front felt a little weird at first. I loved this dress and got a ton of compliments.

It was pretty - but the 0 Long was VERY long. I am 5'4" and even with 4.5" heels, I felt that the dress was too long (couldn't walk in it). Also - the back bunched up a around the waist - not as flattering/fitted. Really wanted to rock it - but ended up going with the back up dress..

This dress has a beautiful, vibrant color and I was complimented on how it looked with my red hair. The neckline is really nice- not too low, but still sexy. I didn't care for the draping in front; it didn't look BAD, but I felt like it created curves where I didn't have them and didn't want them. Probably a plus if you want to camouflage "problem" areas, but not as flattering if you don't have anything to hide. That said, I DID love how long the skirt was, and how it fell. ( I am somewhere between "straight and narrow" and "hourglass"... probably a little more on the "straight & narrow" side.) I am 5'8, ~120 lbs, 32C, usually a dress size 0-2. I wore 3'' heels and the 0 Long was perfect.

Wore this to a black tie wedding and it was a great choice!

Beautiful fit, color, and comfortable stretchy material. For all the short girls out there--it was pretty long and I had to use double sided tape for a temporary hem. The draping is great to create shape and hide a tummy-- however still make sure to wear shapewear/spanx as the fabric is thin. It was an amazing coincidence that I had the PERFECT shoes to go with it-- the same blue in a satin with sparkles, peep toes slingback heels (from Shoedazzle, but RTR should look into shoes too!!)

no complaints

This dress is very comfortable, but runs a little long--with 3 inch heels, I was hitching this dress up all night. I think it made me look a little "hippier" than I am, but the other dress I rented didn't work at all, so I went with this one. The color is beautiful.

Because of my baby belly I ordered a medium long and large regular. Both fit relatively the same, the large provided more fabric in the nether regions for draping so nothing was skin tight. The only problem I had was the way the dress is finished on the sides at the top under the armpit. The way it's cut makes it look as if the dress is coming unzipped. The great thing is you can wear a regular bra with this. I'm 5'4" and wore four inch heels which were perfect with my belly and the length. Just barely scraped the ground so it was wonderful. The color is timeless and stands out. I got compliments all night.

I was 6 weeks post partum and this dress was perfect! I ordered a size larger than I would normally wear (given the recent baby) and the dress fit perfectly - I wore 3 inch heels and the long length was perfect. It was comfortable, flattering and I got so many compliments on the dress and the color!
