the dress fit well and because the style was flowy it was overall really comfortable.

The fit, color, fabric was perfect for the beautiful black-tie wedding my husband and I attended in Newport, Rhode Island in late May. The dress was breezy and it flowed nicely while I walked, the color was perfect for a late spring wedding. I got tons of compliments. I opted out of wearing a bra, i found that self-adhesive nude cups worked better with this dress. The only reason I rated this dress a 4 was because of the zipper, it was a little difficult to zip up and down. So its more like I would give this dress a 4 and 1/2. I would definitely recommend this dress for a special occasion. 

The waist is true to size but the skirt has a flow and works well to hide a few extra pounds gained around the hips during the winter. The color is beautiful and is not showing well on this picture. I wore it without a bra because of the center cleavage, but had no problems, since the fabric is thick at the chest and stays in place. I got lots of compliments from women who were pleasantly surprised this was an RTR rental.

A little big in the chest for me but not horribly gaping.  The 10L fit me like a glove in the torso and waist and was nice and flowy the rest of the way down.  

I absolutely love this dress, and even got asked to take a picture by someone at the restaurant because they loved it so much. While I was walking it flowed beautifully and was so much fun to dance in.  

I searched and searched for the perfect dress for my son's wedding and found it at RTR!  I loved the color for a spring wedding in Florida and I could move freely as the material is soft and comfortable.  Another reviewer gave the tip about the plunging bra at Target and it was perfect!  I love RTR!

The dress is on the longer side- I had to wear it with 5 inch heels so I wouldn't stumble.

I typically wear a size 4 but I wore a size 6. The size 4 was too tight on my 34D bust. The zipper on this is very tricky - make sure you have someone to help you zip it up! The 6 was a tad long on me at 5'3" but I only wore 2.5 inch heels. If I was wearing a 4 or 5 inch heels it would've been fine. But I had to hold the dress as I walked and danced and my boyfriend stepped on it a lot. I got a lot of compliments on the color and it flowed in the wind nicely. You definitely need a nubra and fashion tape for the top. It gave me nice cleavage once I did that. It definitely wasn't my favorite RTR dress but it worked well for the occasion and was very classy and stood out because of the color! 

The big con for me was the delicate fabric. I wore it to an outdoor wedding and you had to be so careful walking, in order to not get anything on the fabric. It was not too long but everything caught on the fabric. If you wear this dress be prepared to be very cautious even when dancing!

True to size.  I wore a strapless, nude bra, but I needed fashion tape, otherwise you can see your bra through the keyhole front.  Pretty comfortable dress overall.  My heels were about 3" and I did stumble on the hem a couple times.

I would suggest ordering your size and the size down as your back up.  The top area is slightly over sized, unless you have a large chest.  I did have some issues with the zipper.  It gets stuck, and one of the sizes actually split open (the size 4 split so I had to go with the size 6, which fit a slightly too big, but was fine)  Thank GOD for a  back up dress because it happened just before the wedding began.  So, just be careful with the zipper.  

I wore a NuBra and it worked fine, and you couldn't see it at all.  

When I was looking at other wearer's in the color, I wasn't quite sure what color I would be getting!  Every picture makes the dress look a different color.  I've added a picture of this dress lined up with several other "light green" dresses, so you can maybe get more of an idea as to the color.  I assure you, it's beautiful!

Overall, this dress was a lot of fun to wear and I felt beautiful and sexy in it.  The color is absolutely perfect for a summer wedding :)

Incredible dress. I checked my measurements against RTR's and it was a perfect fit. The dress is very well made, with flowy, comfortable, and high-quality chiffon. I am 5'5" and wore 3 inch wedges, and the dress still touched the ground. The straps have a little bit of play in the width, and you can fan them out to get more shoulder coverage.

Busty girls - although this dress has plenty of room in the chest, the keyhole cut-out can get risque. We had to do a little creative pinning/taping to play it down. I opted to wear an adhesive bra (from Target), but smaller-chested ladies might be able to go without.  

The invisible zipper is by far the worst part of this dress. You will definitely need a partner to help you get it up, as it is quite sticky. This was the only con to an incredible dress - I felt like royalty and was super comfortable. The frothy, flowy fabric is super fun to walk around in. Got loads of compliments and felt like a goddess!



Fit - This dress is great for the tall ladies.  I'm 5'11" and wore 2.5 inch heels easily.  I'd say that a woman up to 6'1" could wear the long length in flats.  I read the concerns about the bust - I have a small bust but based on those comments, I made sure to wear a bra with some padding and it was fine.  

Pros
- Gorgeous - the dress moves beautifully 
- Comfortable
- Very long for the tall ladies

Cons
- Very delicate material!  This dress had two tears in it (one at the bottom and one near the key hole) when I received it.  Definitely do a thorough check when you receive it so that you can let Rent the Runway know of any issues.  

Love the color! The soft pastel green is amazing for summer. The bust area is lined so you can go bra-less or wear a NuBra. I would recommend sizing down if you're smaller busted as it runs a bit large in this area. The chiffon is breezy and beautiful. I'd recommend pairing this gown with statement earrings! 

After my first selection didn't work, RTR sent me this dress overnight and it was prefect! The color was stunning! It is also very flowing and moves great on the dance floor. The bust area runs a little big but nothing a little double sided tape couldn't fix! 

Great color for Spring.  Fits well with 4 inch heels. 

I generally wear a 4 or a 2, but I tried on a 6R in the showroom because that was the smallest they had.   I ordered the 4 and the 2 - the 4 was a perfect fit!  With 3.5 inch heels it was also the perfect length.   This dress is probably the most comfortable formal dress I've ever worn - I could eat everything!   Target sells an adhesive "u plunge" bra that worked perfectly.  But the best part of the dress was the color - it really complements a pale complexion and you'll stand out in a sea of dark dresses!  (The zipper does get a little sticky though, so make sure you have a friend on hand to help you!) 

It was such a gorgeous dress. I felt like a woodland fairy queen--and got told the same! My roommate had to zip me up, though, as the zipper was uncooperative. But we got there! I'm 5'8" and got the 2R so I could wear flats, which worked perfectly. 
Something to note, though: the slit in the middle goes down surprisingly far, and it's not the type of dress you go braless in. I work a strapless bra and tried using a safety pin to attach the dress to the bra at the base of the slit so I wouldn't be showing everyone my underwear (I think it only partially worked, sadly.) I'd recommend getting some sticky boobs.
Overall, though, a GREAT dress that I would rent again in a heartbeat! 

After I had a problem with the zipper of my first dress, rent the runway overnighted me this dress in time to wear to my formal gala. The color was absolutely beautiful. I am quite busty, so for me, the open neckline was too much. I safety pinned it at the opening, which given the light chiffon was easy to do and looked fine. Overall I received lots of compliments throughout the evening and would recommend this dress for spring formal events and weddings.
