LOVED this dress! The only downside is that it doesn't really show off any curves; it's a little bit boxy, but the open back adds some flare 

This dress fit me like a GLOVE.  Perfect shift style dress but it is very short, but it was perfect for my semi.  The low back is my favorite part of this dress, the sleeves were a bit itchy because of the sequins but I forgot about it quickly!  Loved this dress so much and I wish it came in more colors!!

I didn't care for this much but I received a lot of compliments. Tight around the thighs. Material was a bit itchy. 

This dress is classy and fun at the same time- perfect for a formal date (I wore for an anniversary dinner) or even another bridal function (bachelorette night I think would be perfect!) . I got tons of compliments and loved it! Warning though- I am 5'8" 125 and normally a 2 so i went with a size S, this dress is VERY short in the back! It worked fine for the dinner, but I definitely would consider that when you rent this if you're my height and build.

So there was a little mix up with the delivery of this dress, and the only size rent the runway had left was a 6 instead of the 4 I originally ordered, but the 6 ended up being just fine. I'm kind of in between those 2 sizes depending on the designer, so I probably could've done a 4 as well.

The actual dress actually looks pretty beige right out of the bag, but once I had it one, it definitely worked as a bachelorette night-out dress.

It is kinda short, but that's what I was going for, I wore sticky boobs with it and it worked perfectly with the open back! The sequins scratched my arms a little bit, but it wasn't a huge deal.

Super comfortable and I got tons of compliments from my friends and random people all night! Grab this dress for your event! It goes quick! 

This dress is so fun! It was super mini even for someone who is only 5'2. Loved the sparkle and open back. 

Dress ran a bit small and short (par for the course for y'all gals) but still really pretty and fun to wear. Definitely need a backless bra due to the low back

Wore this for NYE and it was perfect! However, the fit was kind of odd. It fit well around my hips and I was able to wear the smaller size, but felt loose in the stomach area. Still looked cute and kept cool while dancing all night long!

I'm 5'8 so the dress was a little short, which is why I had to go up a couple sizes and wear the 10. Other than that it was absolutely perfect!

i ABSOLUTELY loved this dress! i received so many compliments! i wore it for my bachelorette party. it fit really well and was true to size. if you are smaller chested, you don't have to wear a bra (i didn't) but you can easily wear a sticky bra. fair warning - it is pretty short! i would wear this dress again in a heart beat. 

I had to go with larger size for boobs which made it to big on the bottom so I had no shape in this dress what so ever. In fact I went to my room to change. 

This dress fit true to size. Not too tight which made it comfortable but definitely bothered my arms because of the material. I do have sensitive skin though so might be ok for someone else. I didn't have to wear a bra but you will probably need pasties or sticky bra if you don't want your nips to show. 

I loved this dress. It was perfect for my bachelorette party. It was the perfect color (without being too white) and the perfect fit. I definitely don't know how anyone much taller than me (4'11") could wear it without flashing anyone. It's pretty short! Everyone loved the dress and said I needed to keep it. This was a great 1st RTR experience. It came super early and it was super easy to return. 

Very short dress!  I don't have long legs and I'm not very tall so I thought this dress would work.  Unless you are 5'3" or shorter plan on this being VERY VERY short.  Also if you want a looser look I'd go up at least one size, maybe 2.

I ordered a size up based on the comments that the dress is super short. I'm glad I did! I didn't experience any of the itchiness that other users did. This dress was actually a lot comfier than it looks.

I wore the dress for my bachelorette party and it was perfect. It is more of an off white color which I liked much more than a true white and it wasn't too short either. The open back is a great detail. I would definitely recommend.  

Wore this to party the night after our Las Vegas wedding. This dress was a ton of fun! Ended up not wearing a bra due to the low back but didn't really need one, nothing showed from the front.  I wore shorts spanx just to protect any accidental sightings and smooth everything out.  Both the 4 and 6 fit pretty well.  

I rented the size 8 with a backup size 4 (I am normally a 6). Both fit but I used the 8 for comfort. I wore it to a Great Gatsby themed gala and it was classy not costumey. Fairly short so for anyone taller than me it may be extra short! I am 5'0". Loved it and would rent again!

Based on reviews, I sized up for my backup size and ended up wearing my normal size 6. I thought the fabric of the dress looked like it might not have any give to it, but it does! It's not a fitted dress, but I was still worried about feeling constricted when moving around and dancing. So I was happy to find that that wasn't an issue. The main features of the dress are definitely the sequins, the low back, and the short length. That being said, some people might not feel comfortable with how short it is. I liked the short length because I was covered up everywhere else, and I just threw on some Spanx underneath in case of any mishaps! The high neckline is also a cool feature that accentuates the arms. Some reviewers complained about the sequins rubbing on their arms, but I didn't experience that. Definitely a fun party dress!

Loved everything about this dress, fit perfect.

This was a really fun dress for New Years eve. I decided to go with the 2 insead of the 4 because the 4 was a little too big and made me look boxy rather than have the shift effect I hoping for. I got a ton of compliments on this dress, it just got a little uncomfortable with the scratching under my arms but nothing that was too heinous

This drsss was perfect for the britney soears concert in Vegas! 

Worn this for a themed birthday! It was a huge hit, it is a little short so keep that in mind, but so sexy and the back was a big drawn. Got compliments all night long! 

This was a fun dress to wear . It is true to size but shorter than I thought it will be. It was an ivory color instead of the white I expected but it was still a pretty fun dress to wear. I did get compliments on it. 

Great dress, although beware girls with long legs- it runs a bit short. I had to wear the 10 because the 8 was barely there. Otherwise comfortable and movable. Highly recommend. 

I tried on both the 6 and 8 several times unable to decide which fit I liked best.  The 6 for better in the middle as the 8 had extra fabric, however, I found the 6 to be SO SHORT.... and that's coming from a girl who likes to wear short skirts.  I ended up wearing the 8 with shortie undies so I didn't flash anyone anything important while getting in and out of the limo all night.  All in all it was a great find- I'm usually pretty self conscious about my tummy and didn't think about it all night or mind any of the pictures that were taken.  Yes the arms rubbed a little but that's to be expected with sequins :)

I loved this dress. It was a backup dress overnight to me when my original did not work out. I typically wear a 12 or 14, and think this ran true to size. I would size up as a back up though, because it's reallyyyy short. I had about an inch of fabric covering my booty. It is between an ivory and blush color, with sequins. I really loved it, felt great and got compliments! The scoop back is great too. 

This dress was perfect for my bachlorette party. It was so comfortable while still being sexy! I rented a size 6 (normal size) and it fit perfectly

Very comfy with room to breathe! The open back was my favorite part of the dress! The sequins don't rub. I loved the fit. It was an easy dress to wear! I would rent this again! I wore it to a Mardi Gras masquerade suitcase party at an airport. It was perfect!  :) I ordered a size 10 and 12. Both fit, however, I felt the 12 allowed it to feel more like a shifty dress rather than tight. So, I went with the larger size. 

Love this dress!!! The sequence is muted so it's fun but not too much!! Cut was great! I'm almost 5'8''. The 4 was too short. Loved the scoop back!!! I used body glide so the sequence was fine on my arms!!! 

I wore this for my bachelorette party in Miami! It was a little scratchy under the arms but I'm very sensitive and it wasn't even that bad. Loved the shift style and scooped back. Didn't need a bra as the material is thick. 

Be warned this is not white but a pale blush sequins but it is absolutely perfect!! 

It is short and sleek. The neckline goes all the way up to your neck so it looks good with a chocker and the low back and length of the dress adds the sexiness. 

It doesn't have a zipper so it was super comfortable and easy to change into to go out to the clubs! 

Great dress for the after-hours bridal shower! Enough sparkle without being over board. Tons of compliments. Dress was great. Just need a sticky bra due to low back. No issues with arms rubbing on the sequin by the armpits. 

I loved this dress so much but I definitely found myself pulling it down quite a bit! I have a big butt so I wore the backup size for extra length and dancing room 

gorgeous dress!! it is a little tight for being called a shift dress, but is very flattering and not as tight as other jay Godfrey dresses! Wore this for a senior ball and it was perfect!!  I ultimately wore the 10, not the 8- but the app won't let me select 10 as size. 

I wore this to a white masquerade party. Ordered it without realizing it was blush... oops! It wasn't the most flattering style for my body type (small chest, wider hips) and both sizes I received are starting to show their wear with some pulls or creases in them. It was very short, as many have said, so I wore shorts underneath, which was fine for this event. Despite these few issues, the dress worked out well and looked great once we were in the darker space of the venue. 

I wore this dress for an award show which was perfect for the occasion. It definitely was true to it's size. This dress is fun but also classy. I really liked it!

I wore this for a fraternity formal and it was absolutely perfect. I ordered a size four and a six and both fit great, but I'm 5'8 and wore heels, so the six felt much more comfortable length wise. The dress is simple, but elegant with the low back. It's even more beautiful than in the picture. I was worried that the sequins would be too much, but they were just right, not too flashy but still noticeable. This was my first RTR purchase and I've already ordered another dress to wear to my graduation. The ordering/returning process is so easy and well done. I'm really glad I gave this a try and was very pleased with the outcome! 
Also, I was originally planning on wearing black heels, but this dress is much more suited for tan or beige, black shoes would pop and put more emphasis on the shoes than the dress. Regardless, it was beautiful and perfect for the occasion.
