It fit true to size, I could wear a bra, and the length was perfect for being 5'7.  It was comfortable to dance in and the sequins really made the dress more elegant!

Runs slightly small and is a little hard to pull on over your head. The tie is a little awkward and kept coming undone. It's also about 4 inches longer than I'd like. The model must be at least 6 ft tall.

I'm a PRO member so this was my free birthday rental that I used for dinner with a group of friends. I wanted to stand out as a birthday girl and this dress fit the bill. It ran true to size and didn't feel tight in any areas. I definitely felt glamorous waltzing into the restaurant in this! My only reason for giving it four stars would be the sequins feeling scratchy in the underarm area--and I figured this would be the case as I've worn sequined dresses before.  Otherwise it's a great dress to make you stand out in a sea of LBDs.

Love this dress!  Prefect fit for a curvy girl. Modest enough neckline for a formal work event but not matronly. The sequin pattern is subtle animal print which doesn't overwhelm but rather adds to the dress. Cute bow on the side added a bit of whimsy while defining my waist.  

Beautiful dress except was a little long  for me since I am only 5'1", but that's to be expected. Very comfortable.  


This dress was lovely! The fit was perfect, true to size. The length came just to my knee, so I didn't feel too revealing. Same with the top, nice cut but not too revealing. Loved the subtle sparkle and pattern.  Perfect for hubby's Christmas party. Dresses arrived on time and in perfect condition. I'm now a little obsessed with RTR! Love! 

I wore this 20 weeks pregnant and it was perfect. There is a bow that ties just above my bump. I have a feeling it may have been big in the bust if I weren't pregnant. Also the material doesn't give and there is no zipper or buttons. Just FYI. I got a lot of compliment and felt beautiful in this. I wish I could keep it!

You can't really see that the fabric is a print.  I liked the dress a lot.  It didn't really qualify as 20s, but with the necklace it worked (also from RTR).  Needed the 6 for my hips, which is typical for my pear shape. 

This was my back up dress for a wedding, and it was a lovely back up to have. It slips on over the head, which is a little strange, but manageable. It seems to have a little stretch to it and even felt a bit big for a size 8. It's kind of a leopard print behind the sparkle and has a side bow, which I didn't realize from the picture. But, it was comfortable and elegant. I probably wouldn't rent it again, but I was happy to have it as an option when my first choice dress didn't fit. 

Ordered the size 10 but ended up wearing the 12 because the top was a tad tight. Just the right amount of sparkle to celebrate in without feeling too flashy. Length was just to my right above my knees. Styled it with a leather moto jacket to dress it down a bit. Overall, I would recommend this dress!

The sequins on the dress do rub under your arm, which is a little annoying but I dealt with it.  The dress could use a zipper to make getting into and out of it easier, I had a hard time getting it over my boobs - but once on, I was good to go.  I am a 38D and my boobs felt a little squished in the dress, but they looked fine.  If the dress was a little lower cut, I think it would have looked better, but because the cut was the way it was and it was cinched up a little high on the waist, I felt like it looked like I was wearing a sports bra - you know what I mean?  But it did look great and I did receive a number of compliments on it.  If you're smaller chested, the dress was beautiful - go for it!  if you're a little larger in the chest area like I am, you may want to look at getting a back up just in case.  This dress only comes up to a size 12.  I normally fit into anywhere from a size 10 to 12.  I have pants that are a size 8 - so it's a bit difficult for me to order stuff online, but this was a success!  I did wear a drop necklace and matching earrings with it .. Thanks RTR!

This dress does not have a zipper. I was unable to get it over my "ladies".  I loaned the dress to a friend at the same event and it looked great! She received many compliments. This dress wasn't as sparkly in person as it is in the picture. It has a kind of animal print to it. Pretty dress!

Sequins under the arms rubbed a bit, but it was lovely and fun to wear!  I wore it to a Holiday Open House for a friend's office.  Perfect dress!  Lots of compliments.

This is a pretty, sparkly, party dress that manages to be modest. I have a LARGE bust for my height and frankly, I am very self-conscious about it. My primary concern with any dress is the ability to wear a regular bra and show little or no cleavage. This dress accomplished that and more. Many, many compliments and not a single remark about my cleavage - finally!  I ordered sizes 12 & 14. I will often go up a size to accommodate my bust and sacrifice good fit on the rest of the dress - that was not the case with this dress. I could have worn the 12 but I went with the 14 because it was comfortable without looking like it was too big. I am 5'3" and the hem hit just below my knee. I am so happy to have found a dress that I didn't have to tape, tug or adjust all night. :-)

The fit was great, I was so comfortable all night. I agree with the other reviewers though, it does seem tight when you are trying to pull it on.  However, once it is on, the fit is fantastic. I wore it with Converse due to recent knee surgery, but I actually got complements on the combo! 

This sheath dress is ideal for women whose top and bottom are equally proportioned. It would have been perfect for me if it were 4 inches shorter, had a zipper and the hips were a bit tighter.  My chest is bigger than my hips, so the 12 fit my hips, but pulled across the chest. I wore the 14 so the chest fit well, and the hips were big. I tacked the hem up 4" to make the roomier skirt look more "fun" and less frumpy. I was comfortable and happy with my choice all evening. There is no stretch to the liner on this dress, so the description that there is "stretch" should be modified. This was my second attempt at renting from RTR. I had my sizes wrong the first attempt, so used my credit this time without any problem. I did better with my fit and was able to switch dresses after I placed my order, but before it was shipped. Overall, a fun experience!

I wore this to a fashion show.  It was classic, timeless and fun.

In "normal" clothes I wear a 10-12, however I have a size D bust.  The size 12 fit but was a little snug in the bust so I wore the 14 for comfort. 

The fit was true to size and the fabric was great - not very giving so if you need some stretch this is not the right dress for you 

This was my first time using rentherunway I am a 36D++ and although I wear a 10/12 - sometimes need a larger size if dress is fitted.  They only had a 12 and it fit perfectly.  The other reviews said it ran large - it does but the clinging sheath style accomodates  a smaller bottom (and bigger top) And there is good coverage - bra carriers - so everything stays where it belongs - I felt fabulous, chic and sexy. 

I wore this for my sorority semiformal and got a bunch of compliments! It was a beautiful dress, and very comfortable, however, it was kind of too long on me (as I am only 5'4"). Very flattering though! 
Also loved that I could wear a normal bra, so I was not adjusting or worried about any bra issues throughout the night.
 I usually wear a 10 or 12 in dresses due to my large bust, but I went with the 12 as the fit was a *tad* bit more comfortable in the chest as well as brand new with tags. 
The dress also has a beautiful, small leopard pattern that is more visible in real life than in the photos. 
And of course, the service from RTR was awesome!

So I actually ordered this as my backup dress for NYE. I was in love with it but knew it would be too long for me, but I just had to atleast order it and try it on. And I ended up going with it!!! I definitely wish it could have been like, 3 inches shorter. I am 5'4" and it came right to my knees. But the dress is SO pretty - the leopard print pattern is so fun and the sequins are perfectly placed around it.
Some other people's reviews were right on - it is a pull over, so at first, you think it's too tight. But once you squeeze it on, you find it fits perfectly. It was ideal that I got to wear a normal bra, so that's always a plus. And some people get nervous about dancing with sequin dresses and the whole chaffing thing. So in preparation, I put some cocoa butter on my arms before the event. Who knows if that helped or not, but point is I had no chaffing problems. The sequins aren't nearly as prominent as other sequin dresses.
Overall, loved the dress! I know RTR is so busy during NYE, so I really appreciated all their help in making this dress work for me!

I ordered the 6 with 4 as back up.  I wore the 4 so I'd say it runs just a little large.  It's a little tricky to get on -- feels tight as you slip it on but once on -- fabulous!  It's just the right amount of flash but conservative enough for an event with business associates.  Would LOVE TO OWN THIS DRESS.
