I was looking for a fabulous red dress to change into for my wedding reception-- and was completely overwhelmed by how perfect this dress was! It fit beautifully and I loved how you can alter the back any way you like. I have no chest, but it made me look sexy and curvy. I was hoping to find a long, flowy, glam-but-bohemian dress to dance the night away in and this was just right. I wish I could have kept it forever!

Absolutely loved this dress, it was exactly what I was looking for when I was shopping for a prom dress last spring. I had actually seen the dress in multiple catalogues when it came out for the season and wished I could drop $600 on a prom dress, and after coming up empty at countless stores, RTR made it happen. I wore the 6R, I really needed the 6L for my height if I wanted to wear heels, but it wasn't available so I compromised and found the perfect pair of flat sandals to match the dress and it was a great length for that. I got tons of compliments all night. The biggest problem I had was that when the dress arrived, the fabric of sash that ties around your neck as the halter had separated (probably from wear because the material is so delicate), but I was able to bring it to my tailor and was reimbursed by RTR. I wore a sticky bra and used a good amount of fashion tape around the top to make sure everything was in place, but you might not need to much if you are fuller chested. 

I loved this dress so much! I wore it for my senior prom, and felt great in it.  I was worried about it being too short, but given that I was planning on wearing sandals, it worked out just fine.  the back is very cool, because you can tie it any way you'd like.  They are pockets at the hip, which is taped down (or else they puckered a bit).  The material was light and soft and it was very comfortable to move around in.  I received compliments all throughout the night.  Note that the color is more red and pink in person, but its not tack pink.  Would rent it again if I could!

This dress fit perfectly! I didn't even have to wear heels with it and I'm 5'4. I also have a small chest but the adjustable straps made it easy to shape it to my body. The color and everything was exactly the way I imagined it to be. I got so many compliments on it also. RTR's customer service is also perfect and I will definitely rent from them again!

Loved the fit of this dress. The top was amazing and the open back was gorgeous. The rest of the dressy was flowy and I really loved the colors. You can twist the front and back different ways.

This dress was beautiful, comfy, and just right for my senior prom. It's been awhile since the event, but I finally decided to write a review. I highly recommend it! 

I think one of the big plusses about this dress is how adjustable the top is. You can make it more conservative or revealing if you want to. 

I rented this dress and requested it in the 10L, as my original size, and the 12L as the extra size.  A few weeks before the scheduled event,  RTR let me know that they no longer had the 10L but would still send me the 12L, along with another dress of my choice since they were unable to provide what I was orginally promised.  As expected it was just too big up top, but I wore it anyway and made it work for the rehearsal dinner. (I went with my second choice that had the better fit for the actual wedding).  It was mostly fine, my main issue was the way the light pink on the top would lay--it just never looked right, and that's just because it wasn't a proper fit more than likely.  I loved the back of the dress (very versitle), the length, and the colors.  And if I would have gotten it in the 10L or possibly even in the 8L, I am sure I would have been completely satisfied.  

Fit perfectly - I am a bit bustier up top so I ended up with the 6 the 4 was a bit too tight.  The dress was extremely long so really high heels are a must (I'm 5'7) - the only warning - Be cautious of your jewelry - I was sporting a gold cuff that had some detailing on the top of it - the material on the dress caught it and almost ripped.  I ended up not wearing the cuff for fear that I would destroy the fabric so choose accessories that won't pick at the dress.

PROS: extremely easy rental/return process.  I appreciated the emails that alerted me when the dress was shipped and when it would arrive.  The material is very light and airy and feels wonderful on.  I think this dress would be flattering on any figure!
CONS: the back-up dress I received was ripped/damaged - I noticed it as soon as I took the dress out of the box and wondered why RTR did not.  I called customer service to notify them (and so I wouldnt be held responsible for the damage!) and they were very sympathetic; the 2R fit perfectly, but there was a noticable repair that was made to the dress in back.  There was also a very big difference in the hemline of both dresses, which made me think that other repairs to the hemline had been made to the 2R.  I also removed 50+ pulls/threads from the 2R before wearing it.
OVERALL: Happy with my experience and would use RTR again, but a little disappointed that both dresses had damage/noticable repairs (I was concerned that others would notice them, too).  

This dress was stunning, I got a million compliments on it. It fit perfectly, and for a smaller girl with large breasts, it was all too flattering. Normally, dresses are hard for me to find in the right top size and length, but this dress really did the trick. I felt like a super model, and I definitely recommend renting it!

I don't think I have ever gotten so many compliments in my life wearing this dress. I wore it to a black tie optional wedding, and was stopped by so many people, including strangers on the street. The color is fabulous and looks great with a summer glow. The back is the showstopper - it is just stunning and if you have longer hair, you must wear your hair up to show it off. As soon as you can figure out how to get in the gown (all the straps were a little confusing), you can adjust it to fit better in the top. It takes some patience to get it right. I think this would work great with pretty much any bust size, though you can't wear a bra so if you can't go out without one, this isn't the dress for you. I have a tiny waist but bigger hips and it complemented my figure flawlessly. I ordered the 2R, I technically should have ordered the 2L, because I put it on and realized I couldn't wear heels with it. But that gave me a reason to buy a new pair of shoes and I got a gorgeous pair of gold grecian type sandals that were perfect, especially for dancing the night away. My husband requested that I get this dress for our next wedding we go to, he loved it that much. I HIGHLY recommend it! I totally forgot to take a full length picture, i'm sad for that, especially not having the back. 

This dress was very beautiful and I loved wearing it!  The top is similar to the infinity dress tops, there's a variety of ways you can wrap them.  The neckline can be deep or conservative.  I did use fashion tap to keep everything in place, and I also had to maintain a good posture for the evening!  ;)  Tons of compliments, upon which I credited Rent the Runway.  I am 5'7 and wore 2 " heels, keeping the hem just at floor level.  The top is very adjustable.  My bust is small, and the dress gives the illusion of some boobs, without having to wear a bra.  The back of the dress is very sexy and elegant.  I had to steam the dress, as it was delivered wrinkled.  Great rental!  Very happy!  

How do you tie this in the rope style. I love it.

Hi Lindsay! To tie the back like Courtney did, simply twist the straps in the back!

I fell in love with this dress on RTR and had to have it for my friend's wedding!  I am familiar with the infinity dresses so I knew I could tie the panels in many different ways.  I choose to do the rope style back and I got many compliments!  I am 5"11 and the 4L was almost perfect - I could have used another inch or two on length and I wore 2 3/4" heels.  The bust area was a little big, but it worked out.  See pics!

Hi! I'm 5'2" and plan to order the size 0. My heels will be 4-5" high. Should I get the 0R or 0L? Thanks!

Hi Ally, this Long length in this style is 61'' from shoulder to hem so you should be able to wear at least a 2" heel with this gown.

Hi! I would still get the 0R! It should be perfect for you with 4-5 inch heels!

I'm petite and 5'4", but I have a smaller bust (34A/36B) -- would you recommend this dress or is it better for women with larger busts?

Hi Madeleine, this dress is adjustable up to so it can work with a smaller bust size!

Hi Nancy, we recommend at least a 3" heel if you are below 5'3

RTR, I'm 5'11" and it said the model is 5'10". Is she wearing any shoes in the photo? 

The dress looks exactly the same online as it did in person.  (which is a good thing!)  I rented the dress for a black tie wedding in the Bahamas and it was perfect.  It was easy to dance in and I got lots of compliments. I am 5'1 - I ordered the 0R.  The dress was a bit long but I wore my highest heels and it was fine.  

The only negative about the experience is that Rent the Runway is really hard to get in touch with.  When I had questions no one respond via email OR phone.  RTR - you need to hire more customer service representatives!  :)

I wore this dress to the American Red Cross Gala in SF. Most women wear red, floor length gowns for this special event. I wanted to wear a red gown but I was looking for something that would make more of a statement and stand out in a sea of red dresses. This dress certainly did the trick! I received many compliments and the dress was featured in SF Magazine (picture attached). 

Regarding the sizing, I ordered size 2 and 4. I wore the 2 but it was a little big -- wished I had requested a size zero. The length was perfect with four inch heels. The down side of this dress is that it is high maintenance, ladies ... here's why:

1) If you need any kind of support for your boobies (I do - c cup) it's not easy to find a backless, strapless bra that does the trick. 

2) You will need to use double sided tape to make sure your breasts aren't exposed.

3) If you are single and sans roommates, you may need a friend to help you get into the dress. Seriously. Perhaps it was because it was a little big, but I needed assistance pulling up the halter (so I was respectfully covered and somewhat supported) and also keeping the pink tie tight while I struggled to crisscross and wrap the pink tie around my waist. Ha! Once I was strapped in though, no adjustments were needed the rest of the night. Yay!

I usually wear a 4 and the dress fit great! I loved the color and the open back was just enough sexy. The only complaint I have is that the chiffon didn't always cover the lining on the front bottom of the dress.
