Loved how this dress looked!  It was a little more wide in the hips than I anticipated, but not too noticeable.  

When I first tried it on I liked it but was not in love with it. However, I wore it to my son's baptism and I thought it photographed really well.  It was also incredibly comfortable. It ended up being perfect for the day.

I'm 5' 4", 150 lbs, athletic, and definitely enjoyed wearing this dress to a wedding! I ordered the size 6 and 8 to wear based off the reviews of it being a bit bigger than expected. I ended up wearing the size 6 since the 8 felt a bit baggy. Kind of a short dress, I wore it with leggings underneath since it was cold out and the wedding was outside. It ended up working out since I was dancing all night and didn't have to worry about anything showing if I bent down while in heels or anything like that. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Read the reviews and it does run large. I'm at 2 or 4 so I got a 0. It fit perfect. It was too short for work but perfect for a party. The color was true to the photos.

The only issue I have with fit is that it runs a little short. That said, the fit, color and style are all awesome. It's a great dress!

Material is excellent, heavy and was perfect for the winter wedding I attended in cold weather. I would definitely rent this again :) Color is great also. I'm 5'6" and the length was very short, but it was cold so I needed to wear leggings anyhow. But keep the length in mind if you're not wanting to wear tights or something else....very short dress. It was very flattering and yet completely comfortable. Overall, I loved it!

I wore this dress for my engagement pictures and it was incredible! I took a leap of faith ordering this dress for such a special occasion, but it fit true to size. I received tons of compliments while wearing this dress, with my fiancé even commenting "Buy that dress!" The fabric feels ultra luxurious and you can tell that it is made with a lot of care. It also photographs beautifully! From my photos you can probably see that it appears more blue-teal than green-teal. I cannot recommend this dress enough. 

I wore this to my company holiday dinner. It was an inch or two shorter than I typically wear but I was comfortable with tall boots and opaque tights. The dress is very comfortable and flattering. It was great to wear regular undergarments and not worry about bra straps or pants lines showing. Very happy with this rental!

First time using rent the runway and it was amazing I will def do it again. Loved this dress so much I wish I could have kept it! 

A lot shorter than I was expecting. Okay as long as you don't need to bend over! 

LOVED this dress! Ordered a 0 and a 2 and the 0 fit perfectly. The dress is extremely well made with a thick, heavy fabric. Perfect to wear to a fall/winter wedding. 

Loved this dress! The embroidery and color is so beautiful in person. If you want it to be tighter fitting size down, my normal size6 was a bit loose. Very thick material so I wouldn’t recommend for warmer climates.

Was perfect for a work event - very conservative and yet interesting at the same time.

It fits true to size for the style of dress it is meaning it is prob. best to size down if you are between sizes. I want to rent it again. Great for a wedding, date night, or birthday. I am a 4 or a 6 normally and I got the 4. It was great!

Great rich color. Simple dress but design in the middle give it a little extra something. Speaking of middle, this dress reminded me of something Kate Middleton would wear. Gorgeous with a nude pump. Thanks RTR

I enjoyed this dress, but it was not as forgiving as I'd hoped. Semi thicker material. Loved the sleeves and the design on the front. It just had shown a few more of my lumps than I'd hoped. As a safe fail I'd rent again. Probably size up because not much give in the material. 

The fit was great! Im normally a 12 but due to the stretch of the dress the 10 fit better! It did have a wierd tail on the butt caused by the zipper. The color is fantasitc tbe detail was great! Loved the sleeves! I recieved tons of compliments! Would recondmend this dress!

Wore for my neices baptism and it was absolutely perfect! 

Heavy fabric. It was quality for sure but too hot for Florida. (thankfully we were mainly inside) It does run a little large but still flattering. 

This dress isnt very fitted which made it very comfortable to wear all night! The chest is a smidge tight, luckily I'm not too blessed in that department, but if you are you might want to order a size up. I loved the color, the length, the sleeves, everything!

If this dress was a bit longer I'd probably buy it...that's how much I loved it. Unfortunately, it would just be too inappropriate without tights. 

Wore this for my friends bridal shower.  It's definitely a great dress but I wouldn't say it's a show stopper.  I'm a little surprised people said it runs so large.  I fluctuate between an 8, 10, or 12 pending the make of the dress and I would say the 10 was very true to size, definitely couldn't have gone with the 8.  It was a little shorter than I'd like and the lining kept running up, but the color is really really nice, the material thick (good for winter), and the detailing is definitely unique.  Unfortunately the liner seam at the color was ripped upon arrival with some thread showing.  I was able to make it work with some fashion tape so no harm no foul, but if I hadn't of had that you would have seen the thread/rip at the collar of the dress.  I also don't love the slightly puffed shoulder, but that's my personal preference.  Dress was good for this event but I wouldn't rent again.

I loved this dress, but it was a bit too large. I have wide shoulders and a very narrow rib cage with a small bust, so this dress ended up hanging on me too much and didn't show off my figure much. I pinned it in the back to bring the waist in a bit, but would've liked to tried the size 0, although I think the shoulders would have then been too tight. Overall a great dress, just not quite the right fit for my body.

The fit was true to size. I usually wear a 6 and the 6 fit me like a glove. I am also rather short, so it may be a little short for taller girls. The color was great for the fall, and the material was heavy enough that I could be upstate NY for a partially outside wedding, and be comfortable. Loved this dress, and got a bunch of compliments on it. 

Great dress! Fit great and was very comfortable. Heavy material was warm for a cold fall night.

I loved the fit, got a 0 and 2 and wore the 0. Length was perfect, dress was in great condition and was very comfortable all night. The color is beautiful. Wore to a fall wedding with black tights and booties 

I read in other reviews that this dress was too warm.  This didn't pose an issue for me as I wore it to an indoor/outdoor Fall wedding.  Fit true to size and was the perfect length.  I do think, however, if you're a 'woo girl' on the dance floor or try to catch a bouquet, this dress could be a problem as the whole thing lifts if you raise your hands in the air.  I had a bit of an issue hugging my taller friends goodbye as this mini became almost obscene with the lift of the arms.  Overall, I will rent again.  

So thankful for the backup size. This dress runs large, thankfully my backup size fit much better than my typical dress size. Thick material. Loved the color and detailing on the front. 

I loved it. I loved the thinker material, as well as the looser fit because I didn't have to wear any Spanx underneath. I didn't find it too short, it hit mid-thigh. I did have to be a little careful when the Bride threw the bouquet, but otherwise didn't feel uncomfortable. 

I love a good sheath dress and this one delivered! I rented it for a week when I had multiple events to go to and it worked out perfectly. Great color and the cut out design was really cool. Fit was comfortable overall. I was worried about length, since I am on the taller side, but it was work and party appropriate.. looked good with both heels and flats 

St Patrick's Day is my birthday and I don't own enough cute green dresses - this was perfect for a dinner and a party. Very easy to wear, not tight obviously and long enough for a 40-something gal to pull off. Got lots of compliments. 

This dress fit very well, was a gorgeous color, and had beautiful details.  I received many compliments throughout the workday.  I wore with tights and flats, and in my opinion, the length would not be work-appropriate without tights.  The sleeves have a slight flare, which is a nice added detail.  

I wore this to my graduation from graduate school. The ceremony started at noon and I dressed it up with nice jewelry and black pumps. After the reception I dressed it down by changing my jewelry and switched to boots. I received compliments both ways. The sleeves were a little awkward because I have short arms. I ordered the 10 and 12 but the 12 swallowed me. I was pleasantly surprised how well the 10 fit. The fabric is thick and the cutout pattern on the front is just the right amount of detail.

Good fit. Not tight/form fitting or loose. Was great for a nighttime cold wedding. Would recommend it! Looks short on the model but ended up being the perfect length! 

The detail is so stunning on this dress, and it is a great color. Received many compliments all night. I wore it with tights and just over the ankle booties and simple jewelry.
