I wore this dress to a masquerade party for NYE in SF.  It was comfortable, flattering, and true to size.  I was able to dance in this dress with no problems.  

I wore this out to a fancy dinner with my husband for my birthday. It fit true to size (I wore my normal size 4) and was quite flattering and also forgiving -- perfect for going out to eat. I really liked the color as well. 

Wore this to a co-worker' jack-n-Jill baby shower that included some executives from my company so slightly more formal than a typical shower, but also held in the daytime so this struck a nice balance in that semi-formal range. I thought the statement necklace was a nice contrasting color that popped; paired with mustard yellow d'orsay shoes and clutch - got several compliments on the color combinations!

I  typically wear size 8-10 but after reading reviews I decided to order an 8 and 6. I ended up wearing the 8. I fit into the size 6 but it seemed a little tight in the thighs and like it wanted to rise up quite a bit when sitting. I did not experience any issues with this dress not having a back slit like I had read in previous reviews. I was not busting out of this dress either, it really fit pretty well. 

This dress is a gorgeous color and is comfortable to wear. I enjoyed it very much! I will say that the fabric doesn't seem that high-end for RTR, but that was my only negative thought about the garment.

I wore this to a wedding in June.  Delightful color for the occasion and was a breeze to wear.  Since it was a tight all over dress, I wore a cardigan over it at the church service and then took it off during the reception.  I didn't think the cardigan took away from the dress, so it can be dressed down if you so desire.  I was surprised by, and appreciated, the stretch in the fabric.  Didn't have any trouble sitting or dancing in it.  The 6 was kind of baggy on me up top, but the 4 fit great.  I had some reservations about renting a dress with the knot detail in the center...didn't know how that would look on me, but I ended up liking it.  I wore a strapless bra with this one which doesn't give my chest a ton of lift, so the v-neck gaped a little when I wasn't standing straight up, but other than that I though it was a lovely rental.  I would get this one again.

This dress was absolutely perfect for the event.  I wore this to a 10 AM, very conservative September wedding.  I'm not particularly voluptuous so I didn't have to worry about showing too much cleavage since the dress is somewhat low cut.  I am almost always a size 2 and the 2 fit perfectly.  I would size down for your second size since there was still a quite a bit of room in the hips and stomach.

The color is stunning without being too much and really caught everyone's eye.  It also photographs well.  Before getting the dress, I looked at it on both my desktop and my iPhone; the color was more accurate on my iPhone.  It is a vibrant teal color and the lace fabric lovely without being too much.

All in all, I highly recommend this dress!

I loved this teal color of this dress! The twist was a little awkward and made it bunch up a little funny under the bust. The dress is also pretty low-cut, so be ready for some attention there, but the simple style and length made it feel much more conservative.

I usually wear a size 8, but ordered a 6 and an 8.  I could have worn either one, as they both fit well, but I chose to wear the 8.  Fit beautifully, and felt great.  The color is a little different than the picture, but in a good way.  It is more of a greener blue, almost like emerald-teal; very flattering with a tan.  Loved the back; it gave me an hourglass shape, and I have slim hips.  Would definitely rent this one again (or purchase it!)

Loved the color and fabric!  I was worried to size down based on reviews that it might fit tight in the hips and I'm a pear shape but wish I sized down to a 2.  Stretched out the slightest as the night went on. Overall great wedding guest dress!

It was easy to move in, though sometimes the hem was a little tight. A back slit would have gone a long way. The lace was soft, not scratchy, which is a major plus. The 2 fit pretty well but I wish I had sized down instead of up for my backup size just to see. I wore a normal bra cinched back into a racerback and used fashion tape to keep the neckline in place.

It was pretty terrible, especially the hem, which was relatively tight around the knees and gave me a nice, round look. The stomach was loose and the knot in the design made me look huge. It was also a bit shorter than I expected; I'm only 5'4 but it was riding up mid thigh (maybe because it was so tight on my legs?) and exposing the slip. The only real good news is that the fabric was nice. I didn't have a choice but to wear it, as I received it the day before the wedding.

I didn't love this dress. Although it fit well and the fabric was thick it really needed a slit in the back. I wore to a derby and it was comfortable for a long day outside. The fabric is veryyyy stretchy. Overall it was okay, wasn't for me so I wouldn't rent again.

My beautiful mother-in-law wore this dress to a wedding. The color is very pretty, especially for fair-haired girls. She said it was very comfortable and easy to wear. She is normally a size 8 but tried the 10 on first and that fit, so she stopped there.

This dress is really cute in person. I think it fits pretty true to size, I ordered a 6 and 8 and the 8 was too big. 
The problem was really my problem, I'm sure I would have liked it a lot more at another time. I'm a new mom and am breastfeeding - so at the beginning of the night it looked fine on me, just a little cleavage......but by the end of the night I was spilling out of it and almost embarrassed by how much was showing. It was something that I should have taken into consideration when picking out the neckline but I just didn't even think about it. 
So for me - it was 3 stars - not because of the dress, which really is nice, just because it didn't really work for me.

Good dress overall.  Need a different bra or a sweater over it, otherwise you can see straps.  I wore a tank under it and a sweater over it--I thought it was too low cut for a baptism and it was in March.  

Dress was great! I am short at 5'1", and the dress did ride up at bit while sitting down. Other than that it was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments. 

I wore this for a wedding and got so many compliments on it.  Color is amazing.  Fits true to size.   Wore it with nude pumps and also rented the suggested jewelry.  The one negative I have is that the area where the fabric twist in the front is a bit odd.  Meaning it balloons out a bit.  That is why it only got 4 stars.  

Loved the style of this dress and know that David Meister dresses generally fit me well. This was no exception. It was slightly loose in the shoulders/bust but not too big. For me, I had to pull my strapless bra down a bit so that it didn't show (the vneck is pretty low cut). I would also recommend tucking in the dry cleaning straps as they otherwise popped out (I simply tucked them into the sides of my bra). Also, the material was lovely (very soft) but it doesn't stretch and there is no slit in the skirt so if you don't have narrow hips, you may be happier in a size up. The color is much more beautiful in person that it is on the model here - it's a bit deeper than it appears in pictures. Overall great first RTR experience and excited for my next dress this weekend! 

This dress was shipped overnight after my first choice didn't fit.  It arrived by 9am on Saturday and was in great shape.  I'm glad I ended up with this dress as I got many complements on the fit and color.  It was very comfortable and classy!

This dress fit perfectly, was incredibly comfortable, and made curves look great. Definitely need a low cut bra and I was tucking my straps in a lot as the dress is narrow at the top but this may not be a problem for someone with slightly narrower shoulders. The lace detail and the knot in the middle really make the dress stand out and flattered me everywhere. Would definitely wear this again! 

I never used rent the runway before, so I was a tad nervous about how it would fit, and the arrival time. I ordered the dress a week before the event and it came right on time. It hugged my curves perfectly. Everyone loved the dress on me. The only thing I could say was wrong was that I constantly had to readjust my bra straps. I will be using rent the runway again
.

I think the fit is pretty true to size. Plenty of room for large chests! 

Fit is probably most flattering to hourglass shapes and those who are busty. Size runs a little small, in my opinion, so I went with my larger backup. The color is very unique. I borrowed an idea from another reviewer and added a little black shoulder sweater for warmth and a slightly more conservative appearance. It is a tricky dress to wear with a traditional bra, so you may want to consider other undergarment options.  

This dress fits wonderfully, is very flattering, and looks sophisticated. Great dress to wear to a wedding!

It was super comfy ,  plenty of room for the dd+ set.  The knot at the waist hides 4 kids.  

I ordered this as my back up dress, and ended up wearing it because the other dress didn't fit right. This dress is very comfortable, a great color (a bit of a darker teal than suggested in the photo), and very flattering for that stubborn post baby pooch that is so darned hard to get rid of. It will not work with a regular bra as the straps go towards your neck in the back. I work a standard racerback bra, and it worked great. There isn't a lot of give in the bottom hem, but its pretty roomy in the hip area (I am ~41" in hips). The only down side is the arm holes are a little large, and I feel like if I wasn't wearing the cardigan, then my bra may have shown. To note though, I wasn't wearing the cardigan because of that reason. My function was a business event, and I needed sleeves to wear and help cover the rest of my tats in a professional manner. I paired the dress with Kendra Scott Abalone Deily earrings. I highly recommend this dress, and will probably be ordering it again in the future.

Very comfortable, accentuates the positive and diminishes the negatives regarding one's figure.

I am usually somewhere in between a size 8 and 10, so I ordered those 2 sizes. Both would have worked, but just felt like the 10 had a little extra fabric in a couple areas (mainly right below chest). So I wore the 8. It was pretty form fitting when I first put it on, especially in my hips. (Note that this dress is pretty much cut straight up and down on the sides). However, over the course of the night, I felt like it stretched a pretty good amount and was noticeably looser than when I first put it on, so keep that in mind if you're trying to decide which size to wear. It also does show a decent amount of cleavage. Also, dancing could be hindered a bit as there is no slit, so your range of motion in your legs isn't very big. The color is really pretty. 
This was my first RTR dress, and I had high expectations for the service, which were exceeded. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. 

Beautiful, colorful dress. Perfect for my bridal shower, I am usually 12 and I got size 14 as my backup with I wore, the 12 fitted good, but the 14 was a little bit loose and I felt more comfortable. This is the 2nd time I rent with RTR and I absolutely recommend the service. 

I wore this dress to a summer formal wedding, and it's my favorite color (teal) with my favorite neckline (v-neck) in one of my favorite materials (lace). The size 4 was a little too small for me across the thighs, but looked fine from the side. The size 4's top/bust area fit fine, which was great since I'm a DD. However, I went with the size 6 because I wanted to feel more comfortable walking and dancing and sitting, and not to have to worry about pulling the dress down. While the size 6 didn't ride up or bunch, the top of the dress was surprisingly way too big and I had to be extra conscious about the top of my bra poking out or the straps sliding down since the armholes were much larger than the size 4 on me. 

I was thrilled that I could wear a "normal bra," but be sure it's razorback (or strapless if you want), as a bra with standard straps would have kept appearing. I didn't need Spank or shapewear; the fit is flattering and has a nice ruched knot to accentuate your waist and separate your bust from your hips. There isn't a slit in the back, so you need not worry about too much thigh split showing in the rear. It has a little stretch for more comfortable sitting. The zipper doesn't have a hook-and-eye at the top, which was a disappointment. I liked that the dress is American-made. It was a great dress for my hourglass shape; I just wish the top and bottom proportions jived better.

It fit well, I got an eight and a six because a lot of reviews said that it ran large. I wish I would've gotten eight and a ten. the eight fit well, but I probably would've been more comfortable in next size up. It's hard to really say because I have a smaller chest, so the next size up would of been too large in the chest. I had to wear push-up bra with this dress in order for it to look right, but overall I love the color of the dress, it went well with my hair, it's more of a teal color in reality.

I rented this dress for a wedding, I was in the middle of moving and renting seemed the best option.  The dress arrived when promised.  
I had gotten the extra size since I have pro and it's free.  I'm pretty consistently a size 12, and the 12 fit just fine.  But, I wore the size up because it was just a bit longer and I preferred the look.  
The picture does not do the dress justice!  The color is more blue in person, more teal, less green.  Which is nice, but I did end up matching some of the bridesmaids...  The fit was perfect, it hugged my curves in all the right places, and I got TONS of compliments.  I was sad to return the dress, and I would totally rent it again!


Dress runs true to size, the color is beautiful, and the fit is perfect! 
I would rent it again.

I had initially ordered a size 4 which did fit but was waayyy too snug (maybe I've expanded a bit!!...lol.) so, I phoned customer service and RTR overnighted me a 6. I wore this dress to an outdoors wedding; the colored was brilliant against my skin!! had multiple compliments and inquiries about where I had purchased the dress. It was definitely a HIT!!...Love the selections and the exceptional customer service that RTR offers, I already have several other dresses on reserve!! More reviews to come. : )  

The dress was perfect as my "dark mint" (teal) bridesmaid dress. It was very comfortable, but I went with a smaller size and would have gone smaller if I was to do it again. The knot sits at the natural waist and was faltering. It was also much more low cut then I originally thought it was. Be carful if you want to wear a normal bra. I did but need to check to make sure the
 straps weren't hangout out. 

I ordered both a 6 and an 8.  I tried both on for my friend, and she couldn't tell a lot of difference.  Obviously the 6 fit snugger, but since she said it was still flattering I went with it. It was comfortable. I was showing a little more cleavage than I intended, but I just used a shawl for the ceremony, and during the reception it was fine.

When I sit down the lace above the cinching poofs a little, but nothing that bothered me too much.  I was not SO in love with it that I would purchase it (even at the right price), but the rental price was great (I have 7 weddings this year, so it's better than having to keep buying).  I received a few compliments.  It hugs the thighs legs a little, so when there were large steps it was a tinsy bit constricting.  I felt like i could eat though, which is usually my goal though!

Overall I recommend it.

Laid perfectly on my body type. Plenty of fabric for Larger bust. Needs to hang to reduce wrinkles at least the night before. A little stretchy comfortable, a little hard to walk up stairs in because of slim cut in skirt. I managed though. 

The dress fit me like a glove. It runs a little small but there is some stretch. The color is a beautiful green. The lace is beautiful . You must use the zipper slowly so it does not get caught in the lace. I received many compliments. I recommend this dress for a variety of occasions.
