The dress was very comfortable. Loved the color n draping. It was a little long because I am only 5'2'..just tucked it at the waist. Awesome dress!!

Loved the dress, lots of compliments. You DO need spanx. I would rent it again.

I wore the dress to a Great Gatsby Christmas Party and it was a hit. The dress was comfortable, easy to wear and looked great with a Spanx shaper underneath. I added a sleeveless faux fur vest, a headband and tons of vintage jewelry.

I love this kind of vintage-y dress and I really love all the stuff by Gryphon NY. I wish their clothes were more accessible. It fit me perfectly and was very comfortable as well!

It fit very nicely. Difficult to find underthings as the fabric is so sheer, other than that, great dress!

This was my first RTR experience, and  started out kind of scary. It was immediately clear that the SL was too short for me. I put it on the LL and walked out of my room for feedback from the girls... crickets. It was just all weird and drapey, the drape was falling so low you could see the dress underneath.  With some work with pins we got it looking presentable by pulling the drape up higher at the shoulders, and taking in the sides. I got out a needle and thread to sew how we had pinned it, and realized that the stitching holding the drape in place was coming out, which contributed to the strange effect. I fixed the missing stitches and used a brooch to hold in more of the drapes. I also had to sew up the zipper which also had some stitching coming out.  In the end it was great for the 20's themed event, and easy to wear. At 5'10", the LL was the perfect length for me to wear flats. I wore the suggested spanx.  

I wore this dress to a "Roaring Twenties" themed event. Even though the dress was a good fit (I should have rented ML, but it wasn't available), there is no lining in it! Unless you have the body of a goddess, YOU WILL NEED SPANX! I definitely wore some spanx with this dress and I am so glad that I did. The length is perfect and the draping is beautiful (even though it was a little difficult to figure out which way the draping fell when putting it on). Everyone loved this dress!

I paired it with a 20's style black fur jacket and velvet black pumps. Everyone loved it and said I looked like I had just stepped out of the Great Gatsby era! I would totally rent this one again!

I wore this dress to a roaring 20s murder mystery party. This was the first dress I rented from renttherunway.com so I was a little nervous about it. Everything went smoothly! I was worried the color might clash with my skintone because I'm extremely pale but it looked really great! I got a small thinking I would fit into that but decided to get a backup in xs. The xs ended up fitting better. 

I rented this gown for a wedding that was Great Gatsby themed. It was PERFECT and I received nothing but compliments on it the whole night. A few notes on the color and fit, as there seem to be some discrepancies in the picture and/or reviews. The color, in my opinion, could best be described as a neutral nude/buff...kind of like the color of medium toned liquid foundation. I am very pale (paler than the model probably), and the color did not wash me out. Regarding the size, I would NOT recommend this dress for taller ladies, unless you were looking for a very vintage/1920s look. I ordered and wore the SL and it came to about my ankles (I'm 5'8" and wore 3.5" heels). Overall, the look was perfect for the event, and I'm very satisified with the whole RTR experience. 

This dress was beautiful, but there were some fit issues. Although it fit like a glove through the torso, it was far too long. I wore 6 inch heels and the dress still dragged on the ground. Also, the fabric was much thinner than I expected. I would definitely recommend a slip. 
Overall, I thought this dress was lovely, but I would be wary if you're shorter. 

Firstly, I was beyond impressed with the impeccable customer service that renttherunway gave me, the entire process from start to finish went swimmingly!  I needed a gown within a 4 day time period of a big formal event I was to attend, and it ended up being perfect!  This gorgeous dress is true to size--I actually fit the small dress better than the medium I ended up wearing (it looked better!)--but since you cannot really get away with wearing ANYTHING underneath it (it's one layer of nude colored silk, that, is all)--I felt more comfortable at an opening Gala for the San Francisco Opera with a looser fitting dress...just a heads up on the undergarment part.

I'm a 36D and it was a little snug in the chest, but other than that it was great.
I would recommend a slip as it was very thin and slightly see through.
