I wore this to a semi formal Mardi Gras dinner and it was perfect! The dark purple with shimmers still fit with the theme but the classy cut fit my style more than other “Mardi Gras” dresses. Fabric was thick and lined. Would rent again!

This dress fit so well (a little tight in the hips, but stretchy enough and good quality fabric to still be comfy). I got compliments from everyone! I’m smaller on top and with wider hips. 

Love the cut of this dress. The straps ver a little long for me. So I was worried about support and had to make sure everything was in place all night. 

This dress ran a little small: I typically wear a L or XL and this XXL fit snugly. The straps at the top were a little loose but not terribly so. At first I didn't think it would fit but it just takes a good tug by someone other than the dress wearer. I got compliments all night long! I did have to be a little worried about slippage in the top on the dance floor. 

Seriously felt so good wearing this dress! Material was super comfy and a tiny bit stretchy, but not too much so. Loved the cut and the fit. Was able to wear this without a bra which I loved, and it had just enough cleavage to show off the girls a little without being too much (I am small chested though, it would be more revealing with larger breasts. I literally loved this dress so much that I'm looking up buying it on my own. Favorite dress I've rented from this app so far. 

I'm 175 and 5'8 I have hips. It really hugs in all the right places. I never felt uncomfortable about my curves. Let's talk about the color. WOW! You don't need much for accessories either. I wore a strapless bra and spanx. Felt comfortable all night! If your having 2nd guesses. Do it! You won't regret it. 

Fit was tight; took a little effort to sit down, but I think a size up would have been Too big.  Overall, the color was gorgeous; dress was great for my hourglass shape, and I felt confident in it, which is huge for me. If it were a dress I owned, I would have maybe hemmed it up a tad shorter, but I'm certainly happy with my choice. 

Loved this dress! I was comfortable all night long, and got lots of compliments. This color is perfection. 

Snug on top, no bra. Fuller fit in the bottom. 

Perfect dress for a wedding, a little cleavage but modest length. 

Dress was very flattering but has no stretch and is fairly low cut. My husband loved it but I felt a little self-conscious. I'm usually a 6 and the small was snug and form-fitting --  hugged all the curves. I had the medium as a back up but it was too loose. Color was beautiful and more vibrant than in my photo. 

I ordered this dress for a fall wedding. The dress color was beautiful. I ordered a XS based on the reviews of the dress and availability. A small would have been better. If you're small busted this might not be best dress for you. 

The fabric was comfortable, the length was long enough that I didn’t have to keep pulling it down, and the color was amazing. The top was a bit loose or at least not as snug as I would have liked. I could have sized down, but thought it was less flattering on my midsection. I’m a 36B. 

This dress was great!  The deep purple color was perfect for a late February wedding. The front does have a deep v but with the length it doesn't make it inappropriate. The material does not have an my stretch at all but it's comfortable and easy to move and dance in. Overall, I loved this dress! 

Also, this was my first RTR experience and I can't wait to do it again!

I loved this dress! This was the back up to my back up when my original RTR didn't fit well. It's definitely tight in the chest, but it was still comfortable and if it was much looser I would've had to wear some kind of sticky bra. Its perfect for a fall wedding, and the color is gorgeous. The material is thick but comfortable, it was perfect in the 60 degree weather with a light shawl. I usually wear a two and the XS fit very well. I might've ordered the S as a backup just to see if it fit better, but since this was my backup I didn't get to choose. 

I can guarantee I'm going to rent this dress again, and possibly buy it! I loved it so much. It fits so beautifully and hugged my curves in all the right places. This dress was low cut but not too revealing on me. I felt gorgeous in it! I loved that it was dark but not black. Would absolutely recommend this for a wedding, a party, or a date night...I wore for my birthday dinner!

This was a very flattering dress but was a little more fitted that I thought it would be. Still loved it and received tons of compliments, especially on the color!

This was a great dress. Really accentuated all of my curves. It is low cut so keep that in mind if you like to be a bit more modest. Loved the plum color which you don't find too often in a dress. I would definitely rent this again. It does run small. I usually wear a small and had to wear a medium but the medium fit like a glove. Great dress!

It does run small and the material isn't stretchy. BUT the color is gorgeous and the dress is beautiful. I received so many compliments but as many have said it is very low cut. 

I loved the color of this dress. It was definitely tighter than I would have liked, especially around the bust area. Unfortunately the large was not available as a back up size but I would imagine that would have been too big. Must be comfortable with showing a lot of cleavage in this dress 

It was perfect for the wedding! Would do again!

Wore this dress to a summer wedding in California. The color is gorgeous and the style is classic with a plunging neckline. It showed more cleavage than I'm used to but was still a great dress. I received compliments all night!! 

Not too tight, not too loose, which was perfect for sitting, eating, and lots of dancing! I'm a 34a cup and normally wear size 27 pants (pear shape) and the small fit well.

I loved the color of the stress. I like the fit and the way it hugged my finger. It was a little too low cut, so I had to wear it with a camisole underneath. The reason I took off several stars was because the hem of the dress was doing this weird falling over, I cannot explain it, but there was something off in the seam.

Tight on top, but the rest fit well.  Neckline was very low-cut, so it wasn't the best dress for dancing the night away.

This dress had stretchy, soft material and was so comfortable! I probably could have gotten away with a small, but this was super flattering as-is. 

I loved this dress!! I am a solid 14, sometimes 16 with most of my weight in my stomach and thighs. This fit like a glove! The material had just enough stretch to fit like a bodycon, but it wasn't uncomfortable. I danced all night long, and my husband couldn't keep his eyes off me. It's very low cut, but I didn't feel uncomfortable in it. I should have bought it, but I just don't go to many formal affairs. Love love love this dress!!! 

I am 5'4", 170 lbs, normally a size 12 or large in stores. I rented the dress in L and XL, the XL fit perfectly; definitely get a size up as backup. Very flattering for my fuller bust and apple shape. I wore a supportive strapless bra underneath and it was easily covered by the dress. I was unsure about the length at first since I am on the shorter side, but I think the silhouette overall was great. Could potentially tape it up with double sided tape at the hem, but there is a slit in the back. I thought the fabric was thick at first and was worried I would be too hot since my event was end of June, but it was just fine. Wore it all night, very comfortable and I felt great!

I rented this dress for a wedding. I rented the medium and the small. I typically wear a 4-6 depending on the designer. I'm smaller chested with slightly bigger hips comparatively. Overall an athletic build. The medium was slightly roomy in the waist and hips, but not overly roomy. I couldn't wear the medium because the chest cups were too large for me. The small fit like a glove. Maybe slightly too snug, but not uncomfortable or difficult to zip or move in. The color is a deep purple like eggplant. It was more purple than I had expected (I thought it was more burgundy). It was lovely though. I felt comfortable, pretty, and a bit sexy without being over the top. 

This dress is awesome. It hugs the right places and makes the girls look good. I'm athletic, so my shoulders did stand out a little bit but overall this was a great choice. 

Fit great. Wore invisible plunge push up bra from Victoria’s Secret. It’s self adhesive and wireless.  Worked great with low cut front. Comfortable dress. 

This dress fit pretty true to size! The bust area near the straps/armpits was a little loose. I felt like if I had a safety pin or the straps were shorter, it would have been a bit more comfortable. I found myself pulling the dress down so it would lay flat. 
I also loved that it surprisingly hit some lower belly/post pregnancy fat while still looking slim and tight fitting. 
There is A LOT of cleavage, I wore a sticky bra with it, but had to play around with the clasp to make sure it didn't show in the front. 
I would rent again for sure!

Felt like a total boss-babe in this piece! Such a fun length. As someone who normally is very against going braless- the fit of this dress kept things secure and in place all night. This dress doesn't stretch much so be aware of that when dancing. 

Fit well moved nicely no bra necessary.  

This dress was so much better than what I was expecting! It's classy with a hint of sexy.  Very comfortable and forgiving. Didn't need to wear a bra. Totally recommend this dress! 

I wore this dress to a formal wedding and loved it! I got so many compliments on the fit and color. This dress is longer which makes it a bit more conservative, but the low cut and tight fit give it that extra sex appeal. 

Be mindful that the dress is tight. Normally I wear between a 2-4, so I ordered an XS and S. The XS fit perfectly, but you will have to hike it up a little to sit comfortably. For that reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. 

I would probably rent this dress again and definitely recommend it to friends!

I wanted to get dressed up for my company holiday party, but still keep it classy for the coworkers. Enter: this dress. The longer hemline perfectly balanced the low cut neckline. It was comfortable and easy to boogie in. I didn't wear a bra because the fabric was so thick I didn't need to worry. And I got so many compliments!!

I rented this for an evening wedding and was so happy with it! The length combined with the straps made for a comfortable dress that was easy to sit, stand and dance in. I usually wear spanx with all dresses, but didn't have to wear any with this dress! The material is good quality + forgiving. The top was a little large for me (34C/D) I wish I would have had safety pins to shorten the straps because that would have made it fit better, but it still worked. I received several compliments, and for someone who usually wears black or navy, I thought this deep plum was a great color alternative without being too flashy. 

I'm almost 5'8" and it hit just below my knee. I think for petite women this would be quite long. I'm usually a size 6 and ordered a medium. I felt it ran true to size, and I wish I would have gotten a size down for my backup since this ended up being a bit too big in the bust. 

This dress fit so well! Thick fabric, super flattering, form fitting. It hugs in all the right places, even around the tummy area where I am extra critical. I loved the cut - I felt sexy but sophisticated. The color is beautiful, and I liked that I could add some accessories to make it pop. The length was great... I didn't feel like I had to keep pulling it down. Would definitely recommend!
