Loved this dress! Hugged in all the right places and the back mesh was cut beautifully! 

I live in Wisconsin so new year's is always very cold. This dress was perfect! Super simple in the front but that's why the back is sheer which gives you a hint of sexy. I wore tights with the dress just because of the weather but I would suggest going with bare legs just because you are so covered up top. Pair this with a statement necklace and some killer heels and you have a perfect party dress! 

This dress fits true to size. No bra needed even though I am a 34 D . Sleeves are snug but not uncomfortable. The sheer back is very flattering. Was a bit warm when dancing but I danced for 3 hours straight!!

This dress is STUNNING! It is a great combination of a classy look as it has long sleeves and covers your chest but still sexy as it showcases your figure, highlights your legs and has the sheer back. I got a TON of compliments on this dress all night. It was super comfortable and fit me to a T. Great for curvy, athletic body types. I have broad shoulders, a large chest, booty/hips but small waist. I didn't want to send it back!

I wore this for a 21st birthday in AC & I fell in love!

Unfortunately, the 0 was not available, so I rented the 2. It was a bit big around the small of my back/side where the zipper was, but overall it was super comfortable. 

Loved this dress. Runs true to size and the back is rocking. I'm just 6ft tall and it was too short for my comfort level. 

If you're at all self conscious this dress would be hard to wear. To short for Spanx and too low cut for any other slimming undergarment. Material is thin so you can see outline of pasties or tape bra. 

Looks great if you can rock it, but I didn't have the confidence to go out in public in it. 

Dress was a little big, however the size 8 was not available so I made do with this one a little tighter fit would have been perfect. Super comfy though and received compliments all night. Definitely will rent dresses here on out. I am 5"8 and 165lbs, pretty muscular so the stretchiness was great if that helps anyone find the right fit. The other dress I ordered was a long and looked like a flood was coming so that one was a complete no go, unfortunately. 

Dress fit perfectly, I highly recommend renting it... I received many compliments and it was comfortable... Have to go braless because of the sheer back...

I absolutely loved this dress! It was gorgeous on and fit perfect. 

I ordered my normal size 2 and one size up to 4 just in case. The two fit perfectly on me and the only complaint I have is the sleeves seemed to be abnormally long ( a good 4 inches past my wrist ). The dress is a slinky material so it was easy to scrunch them up my arm. I received tons of compliments on my dress throughout the night and I would absolutely rent this again. 

I weighed 115 at the time and wore the 0. It fit perfect. Has a little give. Didn't need to wear a bra and good enough material to not need to. Doesn't ride. 


Loved this dress!  Wore it for a formal event in the winter and felt sexy without giving everything away.  The back cut out is a gorgeous detail.  It was fitted enough in the front that I didn't actually need to wear a bra, but stick on cups would work very well for this.  It is definitely short, even on someone with fairly short legs to begin with!  All in all a great dress.

I absolutely loved this dress.  Sexy and elegant, the long sleeves were perfect and very comfortable.  I would 100% recommend renting this dress.

I  wore this for NYE 2014, which happened to be the night my then boyfriend proposed!  The dress is super comfortable and easy to move in. I could have worn the 4, but decided to wear the 6 because the long side zipper laid down better. Overall, I think it was a great choice! 

I absolutely loved this dress! This was my first time renting and it was an effortless process. I'm so happy with my experience. I wore this dress to my boyfriends class reunion and it was all anyone could talk about! I've never felt more stunning. The dress is so comfortable and the perfect length. I didn't have to tug or pull at it. I wore pasties as far as a bra goes(my first experience with those as well) and they worked great! I'm between a size 4 and 6,depending on the designer, I didn't even have to try on the six,the four fit amazing! I wore the dress with a pair of strappy Jessica Simpson heels and gold studded earrings. My boyfriend said I was the best arm candy he's ever had, he absolutely loved it! Thank you rent the runway for an unforgettable evening!

This dress was nice, and my boyfriend certainly loved it, but it wasn't my favorite rental. My main concern was that it kept riding up as I walked - I was continuously pulling the hemline down and adjusting, which is frustrating to have to do. Also, as others have mentioned, the sleeves are extremely long, but it was a quick fix to simply tuck them under. On a positive note, the material was great - it was very form-fitting and hid any areas that I tend to be self-conscious about. The mesh back and cutouts are very sexy without being over-the-top. I liked the dress but would not rent it again. 

I got so many compliments. The style was so flattering. 

Loved. Sexier than it looks in pics with the mesh back, but also not too skanky.

This dress was beyond all my expectations! I wore this to my best friend (and soon to be sister-in-law's) bachelorette party and i generally stay away from dresses that i cannot wear a bra with because I am so busty! I can honestly say I didn't feel uncomfortable or self conscious at all while we danced through the night. It was forgiving, sexy and I got so many compliments on it. Wish I could keep it! 

It does tend to ride up a tiny bit but I wore the smaller size that I ordered so I can't say that if I wore the size up it would've done that. I was worried about the no bra thing because of the open back but I honestly didn't even need pasties or anything the dress fit so perfectly I didn't need to wear anything for support. 

Beautiful fit. I wish I had photos of the sheer back because I kept hearing how great it looked! For those with large bust, I'm a. 32/34 E and went braless!

It wasn't too short or too long. The back is gorgeous. I didn't wear a bra just taped. 

There was nothing wrong with this dress. It's classy and sexy

The dress looked super small on the hangar but fit like a glove. Yes, true to other reviews the sleeves are a little long and it does ride a bit, but nothing a sly pull can't handle. I just tucked the sleeve under and made sure to pull it down when necessary. Received tons of compliments and felt great in it. Definitely hugs all curves and doesn't necessarily hide flaws, but was able to wear a silicone backless bras. I felt amazing in it. 

This dress is very form fitting, but has an extremely flattering cut.  The fabric isn't too thin.  The placement of the cut-outs on the chest and back is nicely done.  All in all, a great night out dress if you're looking to show off your bod!

Pros: seriously comfy fabric with tons of stretch. Also very easy to accessorize. 

Cons: you definitely have to wear a sticky bra...which is not comfortable. 

Thought it for pretty true to size. Definitely tight in the bust region! Fit great through waist, hips, and thighs, even on a big booty! The back is amazing!

First of all, this dress was AWESOME!  I wore a size 10, which fit true to size.  The fit was super flattering; it made me look so curvy.  I wore it without a bra, and it was fine.  The mesh is darker than it looks in the RTR photos, so it was a little more subtle.  Perfect length and sleeves... I wish I could have kept this dress!  

Unfortunately a snow storm delayed this dress, and I was unable to wear it on my Valentine's Day Date :(  but Rent the Runway emailed me to apologize, and gave me a refund.  Fantastic customer service!!  Thanks RTR.  

Wore this for a girls night out. I don't usually wearing form fitting dresses or anything above the knee... But this was such a flattering fit. Hugged all the right places. 

I could move and dance easily in this. 

I loved the back!! 

Great material. 

This dress fit like a glove! It runs true to size and fits snug in all the right places. I've always stayed away from backless dresses since I cannot go bra-less but this dress was perfect! I would definitely rent this dress again!  

Great dress for a girls weekend in vegas!  Very form fitting, so went with the 8 for a little bit more size. Sleeves were on the longer side, but that was OK. Just jazzed it up with a ring, fun shoes & simple earrings.  Rode up a bit as I was walking around, but a few stealth tugs here and there, I was able to manage it.  Loved it! Would definitely recommend this dress.

Loved this dress. Need to be in good shape--hugs every curve. The 4 fit but was a little stretched out in the hips--more wrinkling/ruching than I would've liked--and the 6 just laid very smoothly. Rides up a bit if you're not careful. 

The dress fit perfectly.  The only thing I was surprised on was the material of the dress; it is more of a shiny, spandex material than I thought.  Also, the dress was a tad big so it bunched up wear the zipper was on the side a tiny bit by the end of the night.  It was a great dress, and all my friends complemented me on it!! I wore it for my bachelorette party in the city, and I am so happy I picked this one out!!  

I am a 4/6 in dresses but ended up wearing the 6 in this one. It fit perfect and was just right for my best friend's bachelorette party! I loved it because I live in an area that isn't cold, but can get quite chilly at night. The long sleeves kept me warm at night. The back is to die for. I wish I would have taken a better picture. I highly recommend this dress! 

Fits like a glove...love the fabric (very rich not cheap at all)....wish I could've purchased this dress! Loved everything about it!

I LOVE THIS DRESS!! The long sleeves were great for a very cold New Years Eve in upstate New York!  I wore the 6 since I knew I was going to be eating a 5 course pre-fixe dinner, but it fit just as perfect as I'm sure the 4 would have.  The mesh inserts allow you to feel sexy without being too showy.  The material of the dress was extremely comfortable and I didn't feel like I needed to constantly pull it down at night.  I wore it out with a new faux fur vest and leggings, and paired it with an oxblood colored bag and earrings, and a gold bangle!  Definitely need some sticky-boobs or petals for this dress with the exposed/mesh back.  I honestly cannot wait to rent this again! 

Just long enough to not have to worry about pulling the dress down throughout the night. Could've worn the 6, but liked part of the sleeve on the 8 better, otherwise there wasn't too much of a difference. The material was super comfortable, and it was a really fun dress to wear. Fits wonderfully, not too tight, but form fitting and very classy. This was my first rental - I'm so happy with the dress and the service! 

I ordered both the 4 and the 6 but ended up wearing the 6 due to length. The arms were a little long but the dress was rather short. I loved how comfortable the fabric was and my favorite part was the back. A stunning dress that does not require much effort to look great, I would highly recommend it. 

I wore this to a premiere party for my Uncle's new play "Craving for Travel" in NYC. The dress was a hit! I got so many compliments and the photographer loved taking my pictures. My grandma even loved the dress (She is hard to please). She called me over to all of her friends and employees just to show off the back of the dress to them. The fit was perfect even for a girl with a chest and hips. I ordered a size 6 and 8 and ended up wearing the 8 simply because my hips were snug in the 6. I loved this dress and would definitely recommend it if your looking for something to 'wow' people!

I usually am an 8 but I anticipated with the stretchy material I could go a size smaller so my second size was a 6.  I ended up wearing the 6 because I wanted it to fit tighter.  This is a showstopper.  Just the right amount of skin with the sheer panels and sheer back and the length is perfect!  It killed me to send it back.  I felt so confident!
