Rented for an American Heart Association, Go Red for Woman Conference.  Perfect dress for the occasion.  The dress was true to size, and very comfortable.

I am loving this dress by Erin Fetherston. It is so comfy and I absolutely adore the peplum design. It makes me feel very ladylike. I will say the only CON to this dress it the lack of a back slit so walking is fairly difficult. I also think I could have gone with a 2 since peplum dresses can be a bit unflattering if they aren't tailored perfectly. Overall LOVE this one!

I wore this to my graduation from Law School and was in the dress from mid-morning until after dinner. It was comfortable for sitting through the ceremony, not hot under my graduation regalia, and even held up when we got stuck in a pop-up rain storm. A great RTR win!

I love this dress so much!  I rented it for an all day business training event and never felt uncomfortable or like I was ready to change. It was classy but not overly dressy.  It's very flattering, hugs in all the right places and the overlay in the back covers your rear. It was very roomy in the armholes (meaning it didn't cut into your armpits). The skirt does not have a slit so it was a little difficult to climb the stairs.  Also pulling the skirt up to use the restroom was a tight squeeze on the hips.  BUT  I would rent this again in a heartbeat! Loved it

I originally rented a different dress, but after receiving it I did not like it and it did not fit well. I called RTR Customer service to request another dress and this was the one I decided on. The stylist was great to work with and patient with me as I tried to choose another dress. . She overnighted me 2 sizes of this dress- a 2 and 4. Normally a size 4 will fit around my hips and a 2 will fit on my chest. I ended up wearing the 2 and I probably could have worn a 0. The dress runs a tad big. I wore the dress for an awards dinner for my fiancé's work in Puerto Rico! I paired it with a black belt at the waist, a black clutch and black pointed pumps. I thought it looked very classy :) overall great dress and even better customer service!

The dress ran large, I wore the two and it stretched a little by the end of the night so it felt bigger. The dress was beautiful, conservative enough for a holiday party but sexy in a classy way. Would definitely recommend!

I rented this dress for formal night on our cruise. The reviews noted the dress ran big so I ordered my normal size (8) and a size 6 as the alternate. The 6 fit well, it was a little loose in the waist/hips, but still made my waist look tiny, I think the 4 would have been too tight up top. The length was perfect and the peplum hid the problem spots and flattered all the right places. The dress was very comfortable and easy to move around in, I have two small children so I needed something that allowed me bend down to their level and move with them without exposing myself to the general population. 

The best part- I got compliments on the dress all night long!

This dress is AMAZING...I would love to purchase it!!! I can not think of a single bad thing to say about it. The fit was incredibly flattering and true to size. The material is stretchy and so comfortable. I was able to dance in it all night and received several compliments. It is good for women with larger chests because you can wear a regular bra. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend renting this dress! 

The dress fit great! I ended up wearing the 2 because the 4 looked a little baggy on the bottom. I wore it for an upscale wedding and it looked great and for great!! I'm 5'11 and the dress ended maybe 2 inches above my knee so the length was perfect! 


It fit wonderfully and was very flattering. I wore it to a formal event that included my date's mother. I was very pleased that it was modest and classy, yet still cute. The photo is not as flattering but we're not the photo-taking type so it's all we got!

Easy for dancing. Classy and form fitting. 

wore leopard pumps to break up the red ... the dressy fit adds for stretch to curvy figures. very comfortable easy to dance in.

The fit for me was perfect.  The waist hit at just the right spot. The fabric had just enough stretch to be very comfortable.

The material in the dress has stretch which hugs your body and is comfortable. I would size down due to the stretchy fabric. I think the dress looks better with a snug fit. The fit is so flattering with the peplum. I felt great in the dress and would highly recommend. I received many compliments on the dress.

The dress was true to size and fit beautifully!! Thank you RTR!

Very comfortable.  I would happily rent this dress again.

The material is a little stretchy, which is great for dancing on the wedding dance floor :)  The material was also a little heavier than I anticipated, which makes me think this is a little better for fall/winter, but luckily I was inside AC so it worked out.  The length was perfect and the peplum accentuated the right places (which I was a little nervous about).  I matched with nude shoes and a nude purse as I saw several others do on RTTR and I think it worked out well.

Loved this dress, it has just enough stretch that it didn't feel too tight at all, especially across the chest. I am top heavy and have a really tough time finding dresses, after speaking to a fit specialist she recommended that I order a 4 and a 2 as my back up, didn't have to try the 2, the 4 fit like a glove.  As some of the others have mentioned it has no slit in the skirt, so I had to hike it up a bit when I was getting into the car, not sure why it wouldn't have a slit, it would just add to it's sexiness.  

Loved the vivid red, more on the blue-red scale than the orange-red scale.  The dress hit me just below my knee, but really was just so sexy.  I wore nude heels, a necklace from RTR and the Diane Von Furstenburg handbag, an allover amazing outfit.  

I hate to have to ship this back I love it so much.  If I had more of a social like I would totally buy this dress.

Loved everything about my RTR experience, dresses delivered right to my door, well packed and includes a mailer to ship it all back.  The purse and the necklace were in their own boxes inside the shipping box,  very well organized, I was highly impressed.  I will most definitely be back to rent again for the next event I have.


I wore this dress and necklace for my wedding rehearsal dinner.  It was extremely comfortable and fit great!  I usually wear a size 6, but I ended wearing the smaller size 4, so I would recommend ordering a size down from your usual size for your back up.  It felt trendy yet still elegant and classy for this occasion.  Also, the necklace was stunning and looked great with the dress!

This was the most comfortable dress! I had such a blast at this wedding and this dress definitely made me feel awesome. It was great for dancing. I wore it to an evening wedding where the dress was semi-formal. I got compliments throughout the night about the dress. Normally I wear black and white dresses to formal events, but with RTR I was able to go outside my comfort zone and try something new and boy did I have a great time! I wish I could have kept this dress. Typically I wear a size 12, but the 10 fit better (and that made me feel great too!). I would definitely recommend this dress!

Thank you! :) The length was fine for me. I'm 4"11 and it was at the knee. It won't look long or frumpy. I'm wearing 6" heels  :) 

I see that you're petite! I'm 5' 0". :) What did you think about the length of this dress? It looks great on you, but I just wanted to make sure it's not too long & end up looking frumpy.

The dress fit perfectly and was so comfortable. I received a ton of compliments. Great for any occasion! 

Incredible fit, incredibly comfortable, and absolutely awesome dress.  The fit and cut was perfect.  I am 6 foot tall and everything hit in the right spots!  I was a little nervous to see if the peplum would make my hips look wider but it had a great slimming affect.  I would wear this again....and again...and again!! 

I really liked the fit and the way the peplum flattered my midsection. 

4 fit perfectly. I could probably have also worn a 2, but with no slit in the skirt it was nice to have a little extra room. The material is heavier but so soft with just enough stretch. It was nice to find a dress that was both fun and appropriate for a professional event. 

I love this dress! It was very flattering - the peplum is in the perfect location on the waist - and very comfortable. It fit as I expected, it was a bit tight around the legs since it didn't have a slit, but it didn't look too small and wasn't uncomfortable. I would recommend this for a cocktail party, a work function, a wedding or a date. Very sexy without being revealing at all. Loved it!

I wore this dress for a "cocktail" type charity event for the American Heart Association. I usually where a size 6 but was pleasantly surprised when the 4 fit perfectly.  This dress hugs in all the right places and the peplum is very flattering. I am 5'7' and have a bit of a "booty" so sometimes dresses like this are just TOO short or TOO tight.  This one was perfect...there was no pulling it down the entire night and because the top was sleeveless I could wear a regular bra for ultimate comfort.   I paired it with a "statement" necklace and a belt (dresses that fit my lower body tend to be a bit large around my waist...so the belt was a great final touch.  I'd recommend this dress to anyone!

You absolutely win the "wore it best" award!

I received so many compliments on this dress! What a confidence booster! The only thing that I disliked was that it was a little snug at the bottom, which made it difficult to walk, but I'd rather have the dress hug my curves than be too loose. Definitely may have to rent this again!

This was my first time to use Rent the Runway. I ordered this dress in a size 4 and 6 for my fiance's semi-formal work party in San Francisco. Both sizes fit, but the 6 was a little baggy around the waist so I chose to wear the 4. I felt like it was sexy yet sophisticated and got compliments from several people throughout the night. I have to say that it is pretty tight fitting around the hips and through the thighs/butt so if you plan to be doing a lot of dancing, be careful! Other than that, it is a beautiful dress and would be great for a wedding, date, girls' night our or work party. 

Unexpected gem! I ordered this as a backup and it was perfect. Fabric was casual, but fit really well. Peplum draped nicely and was a little "edgy."  Really comfortable to wear and made me feel very confident for my interview. Got a ton of compliments and the job!

I was initially worried that the dress wouldn't fit up top, but it fit perfectly! Also, it was stretchy enough at the bottom to fit my hips. I got the size lower, however, because I had noticed in the reviews that this dress ran particularly small. The dress arrived on time and it was super easy to send back! Loved it!

This dress fit perfectly!Felt amazing, would totally recommend if you want to be classic & fabulous. Got so many compliments! Especially if you have olive skin tone or just look great in the color RED!  The only thing I would look out for is the bottom is pretty fitted and not stretchy so had to take smaller steps, wasn't uncomfortable at all though! LOVED! 

Dress ran large. Am normally a size 6, but ended up going with the size 4. 

I have worn size 8 in other rental dresses but had but a little weight on and was worried about the sizing.  I order a size 8 and 10 for my back up.  The 8 fit good so I did not try on the 10.  I am only 5'1" so I used the heming tape to shorten one hems length and it camp to my knees.  The gold leaf was the perfect touch and I received many compliments on both items.  I have two more dresses reserved one for January and one for February.  They will be my 5th and 6th rental.  Thank you for providing this service RTR.

I rented this dress for my husband's company holiday party. It was perfect. Very classy and feminine. The color was vibrant and prefect for the holiday vibe. Erin Fetherston is one of my new favorite designers. I rented a size 8 & 10 and wore the 8. There is no slit in the narrow pencil style skirt so it can be limiting when dancing... but I did ok! I wore it with a Kate Spade necklace, also rented on RTR. It was perfect! 

Loved everything about it! The material had stretch and it was easy to move in. I received tons of compliments! 

Hey you're my size and I'm thinking about getting the dress. Can you please send a pic or post a pic of the back? Thanks!

Sorry for the late response, but I don't have a pic of the back...

Red is now my new favorite color! I love the material and design of the dress, it fit great and received lots of compliments...even from men!  Wore it to my husband's holiday party.  Thank you rent the runway!!!

I usually wear a 6. This size 6 ran large. If you are short, this dress needs to be worn with heels. I tried to wear it with flats and it made my legs look stubby because the dress is long enough to hit below the knee. It was comfortable, and covered my stomach area. Loved it. 

This dress is incredible.  I cannot even count he number of compliments I received.  I wore it to my nephew's Bar Mitzvah, and just felt like a million bucks all day. Almost everyone I spoke to complimented me on the dress and wanted to know where I got it. It really just fit perfectly.  I think this is the type of dress that would be good for all body types. I styled it with tan heels that I own, plus I rented the handbag that the model is wearing.  

Stunning dress!! Stretchy and conforms to your body throughout the night! I am a true hourglass shape, about 5'6", large bust and this fit me perfectly. It was true to size but get a size up as well to see to see which is more comfortable for you. I can't wait to rent this dress again! 

Plenty long, I'm 5'8. But sexy. And so classy. That's not an easy combo to pull off, and this dress will do it for you. 

A RTR stylist sent this dress because the one I ordered was unavailable in my requested size. My event was a wedding. What I like about this dress was the color and silhouette. The dress is a good quality and it had a little stretch to it. When I put it on, it didn’t wow me. Personally I felt it was more office than wedding. The top was a bit looser than what I prefer. One suggestion is to have a little slit in the back because it was a bit tight— you can walk in it but would have to take small steps. Overall, it’s a pretty dress and would recommend it, it just wasn’t for me. 

Fun dress to wear and loved the color! Very comfortable!

I wore this to a banquet dinner for my husband's work and all the wives were sporting the plumes! I really loved this dress though. It felt simple to wear but was not ordinary. Sometimes,  you just like to wear red to stand out a little and this dress was a successful tool. Very comfortable to wear and I didn't need any special bra or anything. 

This is a stunning dress for work. It will turn every head. Showstopper is an understatement 

 I'm 5'2 and 125 pounds and relatively large chested, but this dress was perfect for a cocktail party. The bottom is tight so I couldn't run in this dress, and had to slowly go up and down steps, but is by no means a dealbreaker.

This was a great dress to wear to an evening work function where I had to look professional but also wanted to look dressier than what I would wear on a normal work day. I received so many compliments. And once I took my blazer off, it definitely went from day to night. The only real con is that this dress really needs a kick pleat in the back of the skirt or at least the peplum should be split - it's a little bit hard to pull the dress down if you have a booty! But other than that minor issue, I loved it!

Fit was perfect. The peplum was sliming, and the length was flattering. Loved the dress and would rent it again. 

 Runs big and after reading the reviews the 6 seems to be what many people want but didn't get. The fabric is great!  I love everything about this dress. So many compliments! I would rent again or buy it! Redheads... Don't be scared of the bold color. It looks amazing against my red hair. 😊

I thought the dress fit very well. Great color and fabric! Would recommend for a dressier work event or party.

It runs small - I could have fit into a 6 but it wasn't available. The red color was a big hit; lots of compliments! Very comfortable and was a great dress for my formal work event! 

The peplum wasn't flattering on camera so I did not wear the dress to work.   The dress runs slightly large.  If you aren't being photographed, I recommend the dress!

It definitely for the occasion and ended up working out well. I would have loved to try a 6, but it wasn't available and the 4 honestly worked fine! 

I'm usually a zero or 2 and the zero fit great. The dress color stood out and completed my derby hat.

Conservative enough for a work party but the red made it fun for an evening out. Runs a bit large, I would probably have worn the 6 but it was out of stock when I ordered so an 8 worked fine. Material is a nice weight and the red is a true vibrant holiday red. Super comfy and the waist detail hides any tummy imperfections and doesn't require Spanx! 

The dress fit very true to size, the material is the perfect stretchy/fitted combo and I felt comfortable all night. 

The fit on this dress is great.  The material is very giving and the placement of the peplum material helps to mask any "pouch" you may have.  The color is closer to a pure red than it appears in the photo of the model (in my mind it appears to be a rust in that photo).

I received many compliments on this dress! It's form-fitting all over, but there's also a peplum area around the waist/hips that keeps it from being perfectly tight fitting there. I highly recommend pairing this dress with a statement necklace and nude pumps. Even though it's form-fitting, it's actually perfect for an occasion where you need to look classy or professional because of the high neck and length down to your knees (I wore it to my boyfriend's office holiday party). The only reason I rated it slightly lower is because there's no slit in the back of the dress, so expect that to limit you a little bit in walking fast or dancing.

Great fit, gorgeous color, and flattering. The only thing is there is no slit in the back so shorter strides were required. 

Fit wonderfully! A little long on me, but It was great!!! Very comfortable. 

This was my back-up dress.  It's very comfortable and runs a little big.  I had extra room in the waist and bust area.  It is very stretchy, so I didn't have to worry about it being too tight over my hips and butt.  I don't think there's a need to size up in this dress.  I didn't like the style of the dress at all when I tried it on because the peplum was very long, and my husband said it looked like I had a skirt over a skirt.  It exaggerated my large hips instead of camouflaging them.  I didn't wear it to my event, but I wore it the following night out to a wine bar.  The color is very pretty, and I think it looked elegant with heels and jewelry.  

Excellent fit! Stretchy material! Flattering peplum. Bright red color perfect for July 4th party! Great fit for curvy women, hourglass figure. Large bust and hips were comfortable. 

I wore this dress for my law school graduation. I loved it and received many compliments that night! The only reason I gave the dress 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is no slit in the back of the dress so your leg movement is a bit restricted. It is totally fine for walking normally. However, getting into the cars and walking up stairs is a tad bit more difficult. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this dress! 

I wore this dress for a work function. It was the perfect amount of form fitting but professional. What a fun dress! Got so many compliments. Ran a bit big, I'd get one size smaller than your usual size..

As a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and the Go Red for Women movement, I need to wear a lot of red.  I have stopped buying red dresses and use RTR as my go to!  This dress was perfect for a charity luncheon.  I normally wear a 4.  I wore this dress in a 2.  The top fit me perfectly.  The bottom pulled a little bit around the hips, so I found myself doing a little tugging every time I stood up.  The material is on the thicker side, wrinkle resistant.  The cut of the dress is flattering.  

The bottom is long and tight, so difficult to pull up, but a beautiful fitted dress. 

Great dress for a work/holiday party. Ran a little large in size, so I went a size down to a 10. Looked great with gold pumps. Bracelet was fun also - a great added piece. I was able to wear this to a work party and a christmas get-together the following night! This was a great dress, but I think it would be better suited for women with straight figures (and not curvy or hourglass shapes). The dress made me look more bottom heavy. I think this dress would be perfect on a straight figure to give someone a more curvy shape. I don't really need help with this, so the dress made me a look a little heavier... Not terrible overall, but I doubt I will rent this (or something like this) again in the future.
