There was an issue with the initial dress I rented so RTR sent this one as a backup - glad they did because it was perfect ! Loved the beaded neckline and the diamond back. 

I saw a review about how the arms run small and they do. My athletic limbs barely fit the dress. Don’t get me wrong, the dress is beautiful and not too hot for a Texas summer outdoor event but like the reviews say, the overall dress does run large. Because of the tight arm space, I’m glad I stuck with the 8R!

The dress fit extremely well! I used a LOT of fabric tape to make sure the dress stayed in place in the bust area, but I really don't think I needed it. The slits were just long enough, and the open back went just low enough. It was the perfect level of sexy for my event! There was absolutely no downside! 

I rented this for my engagement photos. I absolutely adore this dress. It is incredibly glamorous. It does require a lot of fashion tape because it is plunging and a traditional bra will not work with this dress. I normally wear a size 8, so when RTR stylists told me they wouldn't be able to send the 8 and could only send the 6, I was worried. The 6 fit perfectly. 8 would have been much too large. 

Buy the double sided tape! you cannot wear this without. I would have brought extra for the rest of the night if I had known better but it worked out. 

Gorgeous dress and fit amazing. Stayed "in" with some tape on. Loved this dress

Loved this gown on Rent the Runway, and loved it even more in person. Super flattering and perfect for day-to-night. It moved nicely and had nice detail to it. Great quality. 

I loved the ethereal look of this dress so I rented it for a date with my hubby. As soon as I got it, I sent it right back without wearing it. I wanted a fairy princess look but instead it felt too old fashioned, like a silver screen Hollywood madam LOL! I used fashion tape to secure the bodice, but it just did NOT feel right. I think maybe the length being too short had something to do with it (I'm just over 5'9"tall). The beading also felt "old". I agree with the others that this would look better on small chest sizes.

Runway ready!  This dress is super flowy with a great slit up the left leg.  A little bit of fashion tape would be all I need to feel comfortable and prevent flashing everyone. The material feels great and skims the body well to show off curves while maintaining looseness.  Bonus: it was almost long enough for me in the Regular size.

I don't need to say much, the dress definitely speaks for itself.  I felt like an ethereal fairy princess in this dress and would never have given it back , if I could have afforded it.  I am pretty muscular and the arms were a bit tight, but not uncomfortable at all.  I am 5'3 and wore about 4 inch heals and the length was perfect.  If you have a black tie event, this is your dress. Love, Love Love!

I am not a fan of open front dresses, but this dress is beautiful and extremely elegant which turned me into a fan!. It is the perfect length as I am 5'3 and wearing 6 inch heels. Fashion tape and pasties are recommended. This dress runs true to size with size up for back up. Great for A and B bust sizes.
