Between the opening between the breasts and the low slit, you’re actually able to breathe in this, a rarity. Be careful what underwear you select, material will pick panty lines pretty easily. Additionally, take any pictures before eating, drinking or dancing. The thinness of the material picks up sweat and stains QUICKLY. The lining is shorter than the external layer, so you’re able to walk well in it. If you have hips, this dress is for you too, the slit gives some space back. Finding a dress with COVID weight gain made me nervous, but this was a WINNER, by a longshot.

I loved this dress so much that I rented it twice: for the Grammy Awards and for a formal wedding and received great compliments both times. I pair the dress with a golden sandal, beautiful earrings and a colored clutch. That's it!

Rented for a gala. Fit perfect. I decided to wing the left strap over my head to the right side and wear it asymetric. Much more flattering. I also pinned closed the opening below the chest. Perfect to camouflage all of your imperfections while still providing a lot of flare. 

This dress was perfect! It fit just right. The color was perfect. The material wasn’t too hot for the weather. I danced all night in the dress. 

The fabric of this dress made the fit a wonderful experience. The 2 tones of red (classic red/orangey-red) added interest to the design and structurally I loved the unique neckline as well as the small cutout on the  breast/ chest area. I arrived at the wedding and was horrified that the length was so long (my fault for thinking I could get away with a L length). I'm 5'5". But I was able to tuck the extra fabric underneath the band between the bodice and skirt and it did just the trick! NO bulk, no discomfort. I received many compliments on the strong red as well as the look. Definitely a hit!!!

It was a super cute and gorgeous dress! I loved how it was color blocked. I wore this to my sororities formal. My only issue with it was there was a white laundry tag under the first sheer layer that was visible, but I didn't notice it once I was at the event. 

Beautiful bright and vibrant color! The two tones really give it a pop too! The fit is beautiful, I did need to size up by one. The material is flowy and comfortable. 

I loved wearing this dress for a black tie wedding! Loved the color and it was comfortable enough to wear all night while eating and dancing. It fit snug around my chest but loose enough around my stomach to eat dinner comfortably! The zipper is definitely a two person job. The dress is long and the petite size would have been better but unfortunately was unavailable 

It was so comfortable and it flowed perfectly. The peep hole in the top is so subtle but added a little something and the orange and red just make it extra special. I loved the fit and flow. 

I got a ton of compliments on this dress and felt great in it! I'm 5'3" and wore this dress with a strappy gold heel and it was just a bit long. For anyone my height or shorter, I would recommend wearing a heel with a platform. 

After a crazy year, what's better than lookin good in a gown to ring in the new year in your living room? I would definitely rent this dress again in the future for a wedding. I am 5'3, 180lbs, and 36C bra size. I didn't have to wear a bra with this dress and it fit like a glove. Wore a waist high short just to smooth out my sides and stomach. I had on 2" heels with it and the petite length was literally PERFECT. Get this dress y'all, after all Reese Witherspoon wore it too. 

Rent this dress! I felt beautiful at my friend's wedding. I'm 5'7" and 132Lb.  I rented the 4R and 6R. Ended up wearing the 4R because I felt like it pulled my body in more. I will say, it was tight and sometimes hard to breathe but pain is beauty. Felt amazing and received numerous compliments. I wore a small heel and thought the R length for me was fine.

Was a little tight in my busy area, otherwise it fit great. Loved the fit! 

I liked the dress, but there were a couple of things that surprised me about it. First off, it's two colors. You can kind-of see this in the photos, but I'd just assumed that was lighting. One side is a bright red, and the other side is a vibrant orange-red. It looks good, but it wasn't what I expected.

Also, it is very sheer on bottom. I had to wear skin toned underwear so that they did not show through, and my (black ink) tattoo on my leg was visible. I suppose a slip could fix that, but what perplexed me was that Rent the Runway also added a tag on the side of the dress that was very clearly visible (see my second photo). I actually chose which size I wore based on which one had a less obvious Rent the Runway tag. It would be easy enough on their end to move the tag to a less visible spot, which I hope they do.

As for the fit of the dress, I saw in other reviews that the regular one was a bit long, so I rented the petite even though I'm 5'6. I'm glad I did, the dress was the perfect length. I wore it with 2.5" heels, but could also have done flats and it would have just dusted the ground. I got the 6P as my backup, either one felt fine. In other reviews I saw people note some trouble zipping up the back, but I didn't have any issue with either size there. That could be because I have a pretty small chest, though. I went bra-less in the dress.

This dress was so beautiful. Unfortunately, only the 2P was available when I ordered it last minute and it was just a little too snug in the rib cage for me to wear to a full day event. It's very flattering. I have a pretty flat chest and was worried about the key hole being too big (as others have noted in reviews) but I just didn't wear a bra and pulled the waist down a bit so it all fell flat against my chest and it looked great. Would definitely have worn if I ordered the correct size!

I have an athletic body my back is wide and my breast are on the smaller side, with that being said The bust was tight but in the back and i still have lots of room in the front. I didn’t use a bra and I love how that little peak of skin in the bust but
I was worried one wrong movement and my left nipple would make an appearance, luckily it never happened. The only con was the leg split didn’t reach my tight like the model it was Lowe almost near my knees. If you see the picture I really tried to stand as the model but in order for my leg to show, I would have to pick up my dress and raise the seem a bit. 

The dress was beautiful - I ordered a 2L and it could have been an inch or two longer. I am 5'9 and wore it with 3 inch heels 

Ordered the 2R and it JUST fit since it was a bit snug around the ribcage. Shorter persons should be prepared to wear some super high heels because even with 2.5 inch heels, the dress was dragging on the ground most of the time - perhaps the petite size is shorter?

The color blocking isn't super pronounced, but the color is overall so beautiful, it didn't really matter. The dress was incredibly flowy which was great for dancing and the slit ended at my upper-mid thigh so didn't need to worry about flashing the whole wedding. Would definitely rent again.

Fit isn't super forgiving but works just fine with some shapewear. Someone I didn't know at the wedding stopped me and said she thought I was a movie star at first! Hah... but I did love the dress and felt very glamorous all night!
