The 4 fit better because the fabric is a bit stretchy. The 6 would have been fine but the 4 hugged a bit better. It was a bit heavy with all the fabric but didn't stop me from moving or dancing. I received so many compliments on the dress. Thank you Rent the Runway!

I got many compliments on this simple dress. It was perfect for the masquerade ball that I attended. I went with the smaller size because the 8r was a little happy around the stomach area. 

This dress fit exactly the way I thought it would. It was a little long, but nothing a pair of heels couldn't fix!! My only warning to this dress is that it did rub in the armpit area. I loved this dress and would rent it again.

I wore this to my school's semi-formal as a second choice because UPS messed up the shipping label. I was devastated but the customer service at RTR was incredible and let me pick a new dress (this one), shipped it over night for free. This does run big in the top part and I have a large chest, do not be scared to get a size smaller than your usual size. I wore this with 3 inch heels and it was perfect. The color is even more amazing in person. I got so many compliments that evening and would recommend this dress to anyone.

Highlights: beautiful bright color and was comfortable dress to wear and dance in! Lowlights: way too short (I was only wearing 2 inch heels) and was a little loose in the midsection area. I used a belt to cinch up some of the loose fabric, but the ruching wasn't super flattering.

I absolutely ADORED this dress! I've never felt so good about myself as I did wearing this. It felt and looked as if it were made for my body, hugged my curves in all the right places. I received so many compliments. People mentioned it being too short, but I thought it was just right. It skimmed the tops of my heels, no ankle showed and it was easy to dance in. It was a little tight in the armpit of the strap side and a tad loose on the right bust but not noticeable after a drink or 2. Within an hour of wearing it I wanted to buy it so I could wear it again. If I owned this dress I'd wear it every where!

Accessories: I wore it with gold 2.5 in heels, a simple gold necklace and gold bauble earrings. Also borrowed my grandma's mink coat to wear over it, fancy!

Super snug - perfect length even with 2inch heels!

This dress is so comfortable.  Easy fit and great color.

Hugs your body in all the right places. 2R was long even with 3" heels but easily taken up with hem tape. I got compliments all night! The material is light but lining provides warmth (I wore it to a winter wedding). Overall, a great dress. 

 I received this dress the day before my military ball and i was so nervous that the dress wouldn't fit. I have recently gained a bit of weight and I thought I was going to feel uncomfortable. When i put the 10r on i felt comfortable but you could see my little tummy I've put on myself over the last few months but the dress was overall very loose. After some coaxing i tried on the 8r and it was a slim fit. it hugged every curve of my body. I felt like a princess in this gown. The royal blue complimented my husbands uniform as well as his eyes. This was my first experience with RTR and i was very pleased to say the least. The gown god a little looser as the night went on but it didnt fail to amaze me and i got compliments all night long! I cant wait to order from RTR again! 

I wore this dress to my boyfriend's spring fling for his law school. I was way overdressed for the event, but with this dress it didn't matter! People kept complimenting it all night, and apparently my boyfriend was receiving head nods and various hand signs from other guys at the event about my dress--supposedly signs of approval in man-code. As for fit, it is great if you have an hourglass figure, because it shows off your curves without being too risqué/showy. I ordered the 2L and the 4L and went with the 2L (though I could've chosen either--4L was "comfier" but 2L was like BAM!). I was able to wear my sky high Brian Atwood pumps w/it also. It is a beautiful, vibrant royal blue in real life, and the lace applique is stunning. 

Wore it to a military ball! Color was unique to the many other black dresses

I wore this to an NY fall black tie wedding. I got the 4R and the 2L and decided to wear the 2L with 3 inch heels (I am 5'7 1/2").  I wear a 27" jean if that helps for sizing.  I also wore a strapless shaping bra because otherwise the top would have been slightly baggy.  Loved the dress.  It looks classy and fun.

I'd recommend Spanx if you have tummy issues. The ruching isn't very forgiving. 

This dress for very well:) I have 38 DD's. I got the long version & wore it with closed toe Rachel Roy pumps, they were black with trims of that same Royal/Pepsi Blue. My bag/clutch was black satin with gold studs. I wore gold draped earrings & a gold cuff bracelet. No necklace & sorry for the blurry picture. I had to use someone else's picture that they took because my phone was dead :/ no shaper undergarments were worn (this time lol) I'd definitely rent this dress again! 

I rented this dress for my sister in laws wedding and it wasn't love at first sight. I didn't initially like the dress, it was a little big on me and didn't give me as much shape as I hoped for. I called RTR and they sent me several replacement dresses, fantastic customer service, and I ended up going with this dress after all. It was a little less formal than the runner up.  I received SO many compliments on this dress, I was on cloud 9 by the end of the night!  The length was perfect with my 4" heels.  Definitely order down for back up. I'm long and lean and I really could have used a 0L in the dress!!  I am so pleased with RTR, this was my first experience and even though I didn't have the best luck with sizes, I'll definitely be renting for my next wedding/event!!  So much fun!!

Rented this for a wedding in New York and got a 6L and an 8L. Both dresses for through the body but the 6L was a little constricting in the bustline. Also, I always have issues deciding between a R or an L. I'm 5'6"/5'7" which is on the line and I think I could have gone with either length in this dress. 

This dress fit very well, and my husband loved it.  I was concerned about it staying up, but needn't have worried. It stayed put without any tugging or adjusting. It was slightly shorter than I expected. I was able to wear it with a pair of kitten heels, but it would have been fine with flats as well.

I am about 5'6 and the 2 Long was a perfect length with the small heels I wore. I am 120lbs and usually wear a 2-4 in pants and 4-6 in dress but this 2 was a little big in the top (I am a 34B) and loose in the waist but that I didn't mind because I was comfortable. The blue is beautiful and the lace was in great condition. I think I could have purchased something similar. But rent the runway was a great a experience and I will try it again. The shipment arrived on time and was easy to return.

I wore this to a black tie optional awards event and felt amazing and confident in it. I had a baby four months ago so I was worried about how it would look and fit-- turns out there was no need to worry, it was great! Even the bust fit well, and that is usually my biggest problem area for formalwear (I'm a 38DD).

One tiny complaint is that the dress was a bit short. I am 5'4" and got the regular length, and it only just touched the floor with no shoes on.

Overall, though, super-satisfied!

Fit is form fitting from shoulder thru hips. Doubt it would be comfortable for a well endowed bust as the fabric may be tight at the armhole. Fit is wonderful for a small waist, full hips. Fabric stretch defines waist so dress works well even for the long waisted. Would have liked another 1+" in length so I could wear more than a 1 1/2" heel. Dress is made for dancing.

It fit true to size with a little wiggle room. Beautiful material and color! 

This dress was so perfect! The royal blue color and lacey design were complimenting. Since the dress didn't fit so snug they you can't breath, I was able to eat (so much food at the wedding-yes!). The dress was a little long but once I put on my heels the bottom just ever so slightly grazed the floor. I love it and would definitely rent it again (ugh dear my friends, please hurry up and get married so I can have another chance to wear it!! )

Dress is extremely roomy. Great fit! On the 10 the length was a little short so I wore flats and I am 5'4 if you wanted to wear heels I suggest going with a bigger size. Love rtr! 

This dress was amazing, I was afraid it wouldn't  look right or fit well since the royal sweet 16 was four days away, but was so excited when I put it on and became ecstatic! I received so many compliments all night of the dress and danced just great in it :) totally worth it. 

This dress made me feel like a movie star!  The color is gorgeous and the dress is very comfortable.  I'm usually a size 12 but the 14 was roomier around the waist and longer so I opted for that size.  Great rental!

It was perfect, rouched at waist, no need to wear bra.  Spanx were a must, it is form fitting.  Felt so comfortable in it, dances the night away!  

Everything was beautiful and I absolutely love my dress, and would definitely go to here again.

Being 5'10 I wish this were a few inches longer, with heels on it didn't reach the floor. 
Other then that, loved it. Comfortable, beautiful color, stretchy fit. 

Beautiful yet so easygoing. I didn't feel "stuffy" or uncomfortable at all.  Very nice  fitting dress. Fit me just perfect!  My normal size is 14, but since I've gained a little weight recently the 16L was perfect.  I'm going to rent it again sometime in a size 12!  Everyone told me it was beautiful! Really pretty blue!  Once I put it on I didn't ever want to take it off because I felt like a million bucks!  I usually don't wear a tall but I'm 5'9" and the 16 and the 16L fit fine. I could have chosen either but the long one fit perfect and hung nicely.  I love Rent the Runway and I've rented from them at least 4 times. I always get top notch service and beautiful designer dresses from them.  Returning the dress is also painless/ just stick it in the pre paid pre addressed UPS bag which  RTR provides.   Loved this dress and I love RTR!!

I waited until last minute to buy my dress and this was the only one available.   Dress fit okay.   I would have preferred a 4 but could get away with wearing a 6.   I wore a strapless bra and used a tiny bit of fashion tape to keep my bra from showing where it draped under my arm.  I'm pretty short (5'1) and wore 3 inch heels and it was just a tad long, but nothing that anyone would notice.  The dress felt pretty plain so I added a statement necklace to dress it up.   It shows your curves so I think it would look better on someone more stick thin.   Not really my style dress but I received tons of compliments from everyone so I guess it worked out!

True to size, loved the blue and patterns on this dress. I felt very comfortable in it. 

This was a stylist pick for me to replace another dress which was unable to be shipped to me.  I normally wear a 12 and tried a 12R.  I'm fairly large in the chest and this was a bit big on me.  The rest of the dress shows any lumps and bumps you have, so spanx are a must!  I definitely would have needed a long in this dress had I worn it.  With the right length and undergarments I could have made this work if needed.

Love, love, love this dress! Wish I could have gotten the longer size, but the regular was ok (the hem didn't quite hit the floor, so my heels just peeked out a little - I'd recommend the long if you're tall and it's available though). 
Very comfortable, and definitely a compliment magnet. The gathering at the hip and two layers of fabric work well to camouflage unwanted curves, but just be aware that it is still formfitting down to the mid-thigh. Also,  I'm a 34DD and had no problems at all with the top of the dress. 
I rented the necklace pictured with the dress also, and the two are stunning together. 

I am 5'8" 135 lbs. The 4L was a better fit but was way too short to wear the dress with heels (no matter how small the heel). I wore the 6L instead bc it was actually long enough.  The bottom of the dress is swishy which I thought was strange at first but then I ended up loving it as I wore it. Very comfortable!

I was deciding between a 4 and a 2 and the fit of the 2 was perfect except for the length (my heels were 4 or so inches high and the dress was too short when I wore the 2) so I ended up going with the 4. I had some gaping at the top that was fixed with some double sided tape. If I had been wearing lower heels I probably would've picked the 2, though!! The only other thing to be aware of is that the fabric snags on things VERY easily. My corsage bracelet kept getting stuck and I had to carefully maneuver it off without pulling the fabric.  Other than those two things it was a gorgeous dress. The color is a vivid blue and the dress itself is very forgiving (hooray for not feeling constricted!)  I would definitely recommend it.

If you are tall and have a nice tan this dress will look amazing on you. I wore a 2 long and I'm 5'8". I only wore 2 inch heels and it fit perfectly. 

Overall I enjoyed wearing this dress. It comfortable, the fabric was just lovely and color really brought out my eyes. In the end it wasn't as flattering as I would have hoped though. It was tight around my waist so that my belly obviously stuck out. What I really disliked the most though (and didn't really notice until I see pictures later) was the side with the strap was so low and tight it created a bulge of fat that popped over it.
