I had concerns about the dress to begin with but had no issues whatsoever!

I ordered a 0 and 2 and didn't even have to try on the 2. The 0 fit so comfortably and was a stretchy material to make the dress work all night long. It was very flattering, I loved it!

It was such an elegant and unique dress but still classy!

It was very form fitting and sexy but the length made it conservative enough for a nice wedding!

Sophisticated + unique LBD

Fits true to size. The design is slimming and complimentary. I wore this dress to a fall semi-outdoor wedding. It was the perfect amount of class and sass.

Perfect fit and comfortable!

This was actually a backup, backup, backup, backup, dress for me for a late summer wedding. I had rented 2 other dresses (in 2 sizes of each), and all of them weren't able to be shipped to me due to damage from the previous renter. This one wasn't even on my radar but the stylist picked it out and it fit like a glove! Nothing I can say bad about this dress at all.

First RTR rental: So easy and loved the dress!

This dress was super comfortable and perfect for the family wedding I attended. I wore a nubra and seamless underwear, both of which I recommended for this dress. I got compliments all night long- will definitely use RTR again!

I wore this dress for a wedding, and it was extremely comfortable. I felt great in this dress and was able to move around easily. Seamless underwear is a must though. Great dress overall!

The dress was gorgeous, that was perfect, in the comfort was not to be believed.

I wore this dress to my 40th high school reunion, and was complimented on it all night. One of the best compliments I had received was: "you never look like that in high school". I guess when you dress from rent the runway, you get better with age Lololol!

This dress is simple but very elegant. It caught everyone's eye. Received many compliments.

It fit like a glove. Very comfortable. It didn't ride up or snug anywhere. Totally recommend to a modest event or a nice dinner. Nothing lavishly about this dress but very elegant and chic.

Best dress ever!

I rented this dress for a wedding (it was actually a replacement for a different dress) and I couldn't be happier. I loved being able to wear a regular bra with the dress and I received so many compliments when wearing it. I will absolutely rent this again! I wish I could keep it in my closet.

Favorite dress I have ever worn!

As great as this dress looks in photos, it looks even better in person. The fit is very true to size. I ordered the size 2 and would have chosen the size 0 for my backup dress but it was unavailable. Good news is that the size 2 was perfect - fitted but not too tight. I received so many compliments and felt very comfortable the entire night in this dress. I was very sad to return it and even considered just paying the retail for it so I could keep it.

First #RTR experience....fantastic! Everything I hoped it would be!

This dress fit very well, nice and snug but not too tight. (size 4, didn't even try on the 2) Of course the zipper down my back didn't lay perfectly flat against my body but that's to be expected, and it was definitely better than any non-designer dress with a zipper I have worn. Overall, fantastic!

Perfect fit! This dress was made out of material that worked well with dancing all night long!

The hourglass design perfectly contoured to my body and slimmed me down. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6, so I ordered both. The 6 fit but you could tell the pattern wasn't hitting where it was supposed to on my body. The 4 fit like a glove and looked great but I was a little concerned at first that it would be restricting. Not so! Super comfortable and I ended up not even wearing my spanx with it!! Obsessed with this dress.

Tons of compliments!!

I truly loved the entire experience. I got a ton if compliments, and one astonished boyfriend. The dress was in mint condition--you would never know it was a rental! I felt so classy and comfortable in it. I can't wait for my next RTR dress. The only problem I had was that I am not very 'busty', so I had trouble filling the top part out. Not the dress's fault! #goRTRorgohome #RTRistheway

2 Michelin star restaurant in a 5 star dress.

This dress made me feel totally comfortable in such a beautiful restaurant. The fit is true to size and the fabric had a "hold you in" spanx-like quality. I felt like Gloria on Modern Family with all the curves it accentuated. Tip: plan your undergarment carefully! It will show everything.

Loved the fit and very comfortable!

I rented this dress for my friend's wedding and it was perfect! Very comfortable and had great stretch to it. If you are looking for a flattering, curve hugging dress then definitely rent this one! My friend is also wearing a RTW dress which was fabulous (and also one of my favorites!). It is the ML Monique Lhuillier dress called Never Let You Go sheath. We both love RTW and will definitely be renting from here for all our events!

I was looking for something that would be bump friendly but still sexy

Fab. The material is really comfortable and movable. I was close to 7 months pregnant at my cousins wedding and I felt FABULOUS. The con would be it was still a little big on top as I'm usually an 8, but it was still great. I was able to move and dance all night!

Cute dress and GREAT for curves!

I really loved this wave dress from Erin Fetherston. The color blocking makes curvy girls look better and makes less curvy girls more shapely (Being naturally curvy I'm a little biased towards enhancing my own shape). The picture doesn't show the dress as well as I would have liked straight on from the front, but the pattern is very pleasing to the eye. The top is a little sheer with the mesh (I didn't realize it until after I got it in), but it is not so sheer that you look tacky if you wear a bra with straps, which I did. Enjoy it y'all! I sure did!

My friends kept telling me I should just buy it!

It's definitely a form-fitting dress, I went with the 4 just to feel more comfortable. Overall, it was a hit - everyone loved it and I was super comfortable!

Gorgeous and comfortable!

Wore this dress for a Broadway opening night and loved it! Super comfortable and very sleek without being overly sexy. I am larger on top and always run into the too much cleavage problem, so I loved the mesh top that looked sexy without being too revealing. I usually wear a 2 or a 4, but this dress had so much stretch that I was able to comfortably wear the 2. Did not need spanx as some other users mention. Although I did need to wear a strapless bra. The best part about this dress is the comfort.

I got a ton of compliments. I wore this dress to the Kentucky Oaks race. It was a huge hit.

This dress was really comfortable. It did ride up a bit when I was walking around but that wasn't a really big deal. I had to wear a nude strapless bra because the top is mesh. Overall, LOVED IT!

It was a cousins wedding and had a blast! I very rarely get dressed up and this was a great time.

The dress fit perfectly! I wore the size 4 and it hugged all the right spots but wasn't too tight. It was ideal for a wedding, I danced the night away and the dress didn't creep up or get uncomfortable at all. I wore a backless bra and boy shorts with it and it worked out great. The dress came to my knees but I am short and expected that. What drew me most to this dress was the design and how it accentuated my curves. I can't wait to rent my next dress!!

This dress runs big. I wish I ordered a size smaller. The lines great such a great shape. If your going to be dancing the night away this is the dress for you. Wear spanx or risk some serious VPL.

It was comfortable and yet I got tons of compliments! Great combo

The dress was awesome! Great, easy fit. It is a little body-con so be aware of that. It was comfortable and I was able to dance the whole night at the wedding without worrying about anything! It was a little stretchy, not the mesh part though, and that made it really forgiving and comfortable. The pattern was flattering too. Everyone was complimenting me, so that felt good! I wore it with a strapless bra (you have to because the top black panel is mesh) and spanks, which I'd recommend because of the stretchy material of the dress. I think it would've showed VPL with anything else. It was covered enough to wear to church with a wrap and yet was fun and sexy enough for the reception, without being over-the-top sexy. It was just enough! I loved wearing it!
