This dress was so comfortable and I received a ton of compliments!

I initially thought to wear the 10 as it fit properly in the bust, but it was such a sack around the waist that I would have had to use a belt or something to give it shape. The 8 was much better everywhere other than in the bust where it was quite tight. If you've got a larger bust, you'll either need to put up with the flattened uni-boob look or you should look at other options.

First, the notes say that the dress runs small and advise you to order a size down. I normally get a 4 and a 6 from RTR, so I got a 2 and a 4. I could barely breathe in the 4, and didn't have time to return and get a new size. I'm thin and athletic, but on the curvy side, so perhaps it would have fit someone with smaller hips and bust who wears the same size. RTR overnighted a 6 and an 8 for $13, and when we found that UPS didn't deliver to the remote wedding location, sent it to the bridal shop in the nearby town. They were fast, efficient, and completely professional. 

Second, the dress was GORGEOUS! The color was amazing, and the way it fit was very flattering. I was getting compliments all night. It was comfortable, I could move easily, and could wear a normal bra under it. So I highly recommend this dress for any occasion, but if you are larger than a C, go a size UP, not down as the notes recommend. 

I had to wear the size 8 for my hips, but the top was fine in the 6&8. Was very impressed for my first experience. 

This dress was very flattering and looked good all night long (no wrinkling or other problems).  It was easy to dance in and moved with my body so it didn't create any awkwardness on the dance floor.  The color is beautiful and it was elegant and understated and felt appropriate for the wedding.  I was very happy to find something here that worked for an old broad like me.  I believe that I saved money by renting rather than buying something I would likely wear only once, though this dress was so nice that I hated to return it.   Thank you Rent the Runway for including dresses for those of us no longer in our leggy 20's!   

I have rented almost 10 times from RTR for different events but this time was the real testament. The original dress that I ordered was damaged beyond repair and I got an email from RTR about the need to switch.  I was flying out to the wedding and planned on having the dresses delivered to the hotel.   I only had two hours to choose another dress before the shipment went out from RTR.   Our work computer has a block on it and wouldn't allow me to view pictures of the dresses which is how I ALWAYS decide. Needless to say, the RTR stylist chose two dresses and I chose two dresses and they mailed them all to my hotel the next day.  All of the dresses arrived and this is the one that I chose which fit perfectly.

I read the reviews and figured that the 4 would fit best which it did as the dress does run big.   I am a little under 5'4" and wore 3+ inch heels and I thought the length was perfect for the look.  It shows your curves in a silhouette fashion which is flattering without a lot of leg.  Spanx still needed :-) if you usually wear them.  

All in all I was able to make the dress work.  I rent from RTR often and always either where a 4 or 6....usually both fit actually. In this case both were very big.  The dress would likely for someone better that has a more curvey body.  It seemed to fit me like a big box.  Once I added the black belt it worked just fine because it provided some shape. 
Even tho the fit was not great I still received many compliments on the dress.  The color was great and the length hit me right below the knee, which is what I was looking for for my event.   

I wore this for my bridal shower--I loved the color and upper detail. The dress wasn't particularly form-fitting from the torso down, and I would have preferred to have more of a shape. However, it was still a fantastic rental.

The dress ran a little long for a shorty like me, but in heels it was alright. The dress was beautiful and elegant for a spring wedding. I received many compliments, especially on the color. 

I got this dress in sizes 4 and 6, and ended up wearing the larger size because the event was very conservative.  However, the dress does run true to size - the size 4 fit nicely and hugged in the right places.  You can wear with a regular bra. 

I was looking for a festive dress that offered simple elegance. ( I also wasn't sure what the dress code for the office christmas party would be when the invite said "wear your festive duds.")  The dress fit perfectly and was totally fun to wear.  Big plus for not having to purchase a special bra or specific shoes (I just wore nude.)  Also, a great match for a redhead.  The fabric was more forgiving than I would have thought, no need for shapewear.  The dress also performed well on the dance floor!  I can't wait to use RTR for my next fancy event.

This was a great dress for a full-busted gal like me.  I tried on the 12 and the 14; both fit well, but since I had a long drive to the wedding, and a long drive home, I opted to be a tad more comfy in the dress.  Received many compliments!  Loved the ease of returning the dress as well!

The fit was perfect. I'm a 10/12 and the 10 was nice and snug, but still classy. There was enough give to get down on the dance floor and everyone complimented me on the color. My only regret is that I did not wear spanx, so I was sucking it in. But it was way too hot for extra layers!

This photo isn't the best, but I figured I would add it. It's not full length, but I am 6'0 and it was perfect for a wedding!

As usual RTR gets it right!

Fits true to size, very flattering, received a lot of complements!

Requested a size 8, but the dress was too big.  The size 6 fit better and slightly snug by the hip/thigh area.

This dress is a great fit for girls who are tall with a bit more up top.  Dress hugged in all of the right places and was very comfortable, a great pick!
