I wore this dress for my birthday night out with friends and I loved it! The fit is definitely supposed to be baggier, which is what I loved about it. I ended up wearing the small because the medium showed more side boob than I was wanting to show, but that was mainly the only difference in the fit. The armholes were still big enough that the bralette I wore under still showed. I would rent again!

LOVE this dress! I wore this for an opening night party and it was PERFECT. I got tons of compliments all night. It does run large, so I would size down. It has pockets as an added bonus! I am 5'6" and the back did not drag on the floor even though I was wearing flats. I HIGHLY recommend this dress for a warm weather event!

I rented this dress for a music festival and it was the best decision ever! I ordered both the large and medium but for some reason the large looked like it was hemmed, it didn't have the long tail the medium had, really weird. I stuck with the medium, the fit was perfect. I wore a crop top bra and gave it a few knots through the day! #myfirstRTR 

 It flowed perfectly and was effortless! 

I love this dress! I wore it so many times. Dressed up with a shirt over the top, and dressed down. Very low cut sides, so you have to plan on layering wisely underneath. It's very long, dragged on the floor when wearing flats. 

This was such a fun dress!  I read the other reviews so I was prepared for the low cut sides and wore a strappy black sports bra with it.  I like the way it looks with a denim jacket too.  Love the hi-lo hem (and the pockets!) and the material is so comfy!  I wore this to a BBQ and got compliments on it the whole time.  Would love to buy it!

I loved this dress. It was super casual and flowy. Perfect for summer days BUT you will need bandeau unless you want that side boob look. It comes down low on both sides. This could even be worn as a bathing suit cover up! 
Will rent again! 

Loved the Dress. It flows beautifully.  Arm holes are quite low, so I wore a lace bralette under that added a pop of fun. 

Loved the Loose fit of this dress! It was light, airy, and trendy. I wore a black bralette thing over my regular strapless bra since the arm holes are pretty big and the back has an interesting cut. However, I really enjoyed this look. Everything was covered up, but yet you got a little peek of something sexy on the sides. It is perfect for an outdoor event. Would love to own this dress! I think I ordered a small in the dress, although I usually order mediums. I think it is supposed to be a loose fit. Loved it! 

This dress was so fun to wear.  It's loose but sexy with the open sides and back.  I wore a bralette under it and it worked great.  It was the perfect beach dress and I definitely want to purchase this!

It fit like all free people stuff- big - so I went a size down to an XS from a S.

Flowy dress with large arm holes- absolutely loved this look! I even ended up buying the dress and I come up with any excuse to wear it. It is pretty long in the back if you're short like me and can look unflattering in pictures if your not careful but I'm still obsessed with this dress! 

I loved this dress and didn't want to return it!!!! It was so flowy and soft. My only complaint was that the arm holes were enormous- I decided to embrace it and go with a crazy bright, lacy bra and it worked out well. The medium and large both fit similarly but I went with the large because of the length.

I loved the look and it was so comfortable. I wore it for my 31st birthday out in Charleston during the day. It was breezy and comfy. It ran quite large as I wore the XSR and it still hung loose and low under my arms. I wore a pretty black lace bralette and it seemed to work. 

This was a cute dress with an interesting fit. The bottom was higher in the front, maxi in the back- which created a flowy and pretty effect. The top was cut in a way that showed A LOT of side boob, I can not imagine this dress without something under (bandeau? Bathing suit?) I liked this aspect of the dress but might not be a crowd pleaser. It is unlined , I wore it on a hot day on vacation, to a farmers market ... Got a lot of compliments... But it is a casual dress or beach dress .. Not really appropriate for an event 

The dress is as expected- comfortable and easy. I wore this to a tennis tournament in Palm Spring and it worked great in the extreme heat.
The arm holes are over-sized so expect to wear a bralette that will be seen. The waist seam is not flattering in the back, it fell too low and was across the widest part of my backside. I'm short (5'3) so a platform sandal was ideal at the end of the back when I was in flats the long back was dragging on the ground.

Not the best picture of the dress, but hopefully it helps show the cut of the dress. I am not able to be a part of the no-bra camp (thanks darling daughter!) but that would work really well with some fashion tape for a lot of girls! I bought a lace bandeau to wear under and it was great. I really liked this dress but it was a little out of my comfort zone. Fun for the bachelorette party at least! 

I don't usually wear dresses like this (one of the reasons I love Unlimited--I get to try to many different things!) but I'm really glad I rented it. The print is more of a very light tan or nude color rather than a true black and white but it's still very pretty and has a nice graphic pop. The fit is very loose and flowy and it is quite low cut in the back and on the sides, so make sure you have a pretty bandeau or bralette to wear with it. I rated it four stars just because there is sort of a drop-waist with some ruching and it made me look a little hippy, but not enough that I didn't wear it. It's a great dress if you're looking for something a bit edgier and more interesting to wear for everyday, or maybe for brunch or a casual coffee date. 

This dress essentially has no shape to it. it is very loose and flowy. It looks strange belted, so there is really no way to make it more fitted. With that said, I really liked it for a casual day at my friend's outdoor party. At 5'6" I was able to wear flats and the back of the dress nearly touches the floor. The armholes are huge, so make sure you have a bra/tank that you want to show off underneath. The dress actually looked to be the lightest possible pink rather than white (though that may have been the particular garment). Overall, I enjoyed the dress and felt very cool on a hot day

Dress runs small. Wore a bralette with the dress, edge jewelry and cute wedges. Perfect date night  outfit. Will probably buy this dress of I find it at a nordstroms ! 

RTR sent this as a replacement when an item wasn't available. Not dressy enough for wedding, but cute! Would wear as a beach coverup. The top is cut very low on he sides, so you'd need a different bra/bandeau 

It wasn't until I shared this photo on social media of my cat photobombing me, that I noticed the design of the cat's face on the torso of the dress. This dress has a distinctive, deep cut of the armholes that accentuates the arms and shoulders. There's nothing wrong with the dress; the armholes aren't too big, as other reviewers have noted. It just might not be to everyone's taste. Wearing a bra that peeks out isn't bad; wearers should choose a lacy bra that's meant to be seen. The rayon fabric is cool and perfect for late summer, up into early fall with a sweater. I loved the dress and wore it twice. However, I saw at least a dozen of them on the clearance rack at a department store, while shopping with friends, which immediately cut the wow factor for me. It's Rent the Runway, not Rent the Clearance Rack. 

First things first, the top of this dress has an interesting cut. If you are an A cup I'd say go braless and show a little side boob but everyone else will need to wear a tank or bandol under this. If you don't... the majority of your bra will show or you will have MAJOR side boob if you go braless. Secondly, it's really flattering and flowy. This dress moves A LOT! The print is great and can easily be dressed up or down. I wore it to an interview belted with a suit jacket, electric blue clutch and a statement piece cocktail ring. I also wore it to a friends BBQ with just a black lacy bra. Both situations I got so many compliments from friends, family and even people off the street. LOVE this dress, I want to own it and wear it every day! Sorry for no pic!

I read the other's reviews and saw it ran very large. I usually wear a medium, but ordered an XSR and it fit perfect! I'm 5'3" and it didn't drag on the ground (Everythingggg drags on the ground for me). As the others said, you do need to wear a bandeau bra or something similar because the arm holes cut really low. It looked so awesome when walking, the skirt flowed beautifully. Would definitely rent again! 

Very low cut arm holes, will need a bandeau.

Light and airy with a flowing train style back. Fabric is perfect for travel since it doesn't wrinkle and rolls to pack. Under arms are deep to the ribcage so be prepared with a lace cami or crop tank underneath. Dress is navy and cream, not white as the picture may seem to some. Looked great in the wind showing just enough leg. Would be wonderful on a cruise or a simple summer beach wedding.

I've put on weight recently and was skeptical about heeding the other reviews and sizing down to an XS, especially since a S wasn't available for my backup size. The XS fit great, however, because the cut was loose enough that I did not feel at all constricted. The armholes are big and the material is quite thin, so I recommend a pretty bralette and boyshorts for underneath.  

Loved the pattern and the top/back. It is definitely more grey than white. Wearing a bandeau or something like that is a must. It is quite long. I didn't like how the waist was a little wider. 

I loved the pattern and flowy look of this maxi but like most other free people style, it runs BIG! I'm 5'8, usually always a size 6/8 and I tried the size Small on in this and it was still too big/ not very flattering on me. It may just be my body type since I'm more curvy rather then straight and narrow but I would still size down to avoid looking like your drowning in the  fabric. 

This dress runs large I ordered a medium and was swimming in it. I had gotten it to wear to a back yard engagement party but it was definitely too casual bc of the size. I would likely rent it again but for a night out in the summer or something casual where u could wear a bathing suit or bandeau bra with it. 

I didn't even wear this dress. I love how it looked and how it fit, except for one area...  the dress was very, very loose in the chest area. The arm holes were so low, that if I wore a bra, it would have all shown. I tried  tank tops under it, and shirts/sweaters over it... but between how it looked and the weather -- nothing worked.

Plus, i didn't get a dress just to have to wear something with it. Since I didn't want my bra showing and it wasn't decent enough to not wear one (one quick move and you could be showing more than side boob!)... I never wore the dress outside of my bedroom. 



I rented this for an outdoor wedding. I usually wear a Large, so I was very surprised when the Medium was way too big. The arm holes were too low and there was too much side-boob hanging out for me to wear it to a wedding. Maybe a festival of some sort would have been more appropriate. I love the pattern though.

I got this dress for a picnic and ended up having to send it back because the fit was very weird. The arm holes were huge and I am busty so it showed a lot of side boob. I was so sad because it is a beautiful dress, light and flowy and great for an informal party. I would definitely recommend to someone who is not as busty and a to have a cami/bra top on hand!

Would work better for a tall and thin body type. Not very flattering for my 5'4" curves :(

The arm holes on this dress were GIGANTIC (I'm 5'6" and they went down to my waist).  The wedding I had wanted to wear it to was a very casual wedding, but there was no way I could wear it. Had to return and borrow something from a friend last minute.

I really liked the pattern on this dress but I ended up not wearing it.  It didn't have any shape to it and just made me look frumpy. The arm holes are really low so you couldn't wear a bra with it. I tried on a black racer back tank top underneath and that solved the problem for me. 

There was no chance of going braless, plus a regular bra whether strapless or halter showed through.  I also tried a cami and bandeau but neither looked right under the dress

You can't tell because of the way that the model is slouching but this dress is cut so strange. The arm holes are cut so far toward the front of your chest it's like a mini front halter. No bra is appropriate. I was able to make this look really cute with a black tank and a belt but it's not a good look alone. 

I'm an XS, Small typical, so I grabbed this as my birthday dress, even with the large reviews, I thought I may be okay with a Bandeau.. but no.

I really wanted to like this dress, no clue how the model is wearing it, but definitely something I won't order or even similar designer just due to the sizing issue.

I loved the print and fabric on this dress and the skirt hem line and shape is great.  Unfortunately, the top was much to narrow.  I ordered an extra small and probably should have got a small, but even still, this dress will not work for big busted girls.  I'm a 34D and I don't see how the small or medium would have worked.
