Fit perfectly! I got a ton of compliments on this dress. 

I felt like a million bucks in this dress. The material was heavy enough to drape well and not be clingy.   Sparkles on the dance floor without being too brassy. Loved it!!!

This dress was beautiful! I am a high school teacher and I wore it to chaperone the prom. It was a little big for me so I added the belt on my waist. Overall, this was a very good first rental experience! 

This dress is perfect for weddings. It did seem to run a bit small however. Very nice and would definitely rent it again 

I wore this dress to an art show. It was perfect with a little sparkle but not over done. I got a lot of compliments and the sheer material created a sexy look that was still work appropriate. It fit well and was true to size. 
The material is a little scratchy but not bad. Definitely a good find!

Loved this dress! Great fit for me, a little bigger than most! The fabric was thicker than I thought it would be but it was surprisingly flexible and had a lot of give to it.  I loved the fabric at the top too, nice details!

I originally wanted a size 18W (my size), but it was unavailable in time for my event, so I was shipped a size 16W And 20W. The 16W wouldn't zip, but the 20W did, but a little big. The pros is that it is a beautiful dress, the cons  is that it doesn't really fit to your shape (come in on the sides), so you'll have to wear a belt to define where your boobs end and your tummy begins. You MUST WEAR SLIMMING GARMENTS UNDERNEATH or your rolls WILL show (not cute)!!! This is very flattering for larger women and you'll get many compliments. 


I normally wear a 16 and ended up going with an 18 in this dress. I have larger thighs and the 16 was just a bit too tight to be comfortable, however it fit the rest of my body great. The 18 was great for my legs and a little bit big of my bust but not noticeably so. Long enough to be classy but short enough to be sassy. 

Totally fun to wear, I got lots of compliments. 

14 was really tight and 16 a little loose and it bunched with a belt.  

The fit of the dress was perfect. I am very curvy, with an hourglass shape so I don't usually wear non-A-line dresses. However, I read the reviews and felt secure that everything would be in place with my Double D chest if I went 1 size up. I paired it with a gold shawl and a metallic colored pencil belt to give my waist definition.

Dress was made for my body type, hugged my curves well. Shoulder portion was a tad itchy 

Great fit, wore with strapless bra. Comfortable, not form fitting, but gave great shape. Wore this to my bridal shower. Was very fun!

I rented this dress for a work Christmas party.  It runs slightly on the small side.  Received several compliments throughout the night.  Always a winner with Rent the Runway.

I am 5'0", and I normally wear 18, but I was 15 weeks pregnant, so I wore the 20, but I'm still saying the dress was "true to size". The dress is made for a much taller figure, so I ended up pinning the shoulders and wearing a black shrug over the dress - added bonus, I didn't have to worry about the transparent shoulders/strapless bra issue.
I got a TON of compliments and felt like a rockstar!

I had originally decided I was going to give this dress 4 stars because of fit issues, but after the night I had it's got to be 5 stars all the way!  The gold foil on the dress is beautiful!  Shiny but not over the top.  The dress is modest although the shoulders are transparent so I wore a bra with clear straps.  The fit is a little funny.  There is a lot of extra room in the stomach area.  I first tried on the 14 and it clung a little around my hips causing the stomach area to bunch up.  I almost didn't bother trying on the 16, but I am so glad I did!  It hung much nicer, but still felt a bit big.  I decided to wear it anyway since I had already gotten my accessories and my husband bought a gold tie.  The whole outfit pulled together beautifully!  Everyone at the party complimented me on the dress.  I even had a woman I have never met before come over to tell me that I was the most beautiful woman at the party!!!! That has never happened to me before! Love RTR!

So often nice dresses are to small in the bust making me go up a size, but this dress was perfect.  I didn't have to fight to get my bust in it.  The only downside is the cut was a little boxy and not very faltering to my curves. 

It was a little small in my regular 16 so I wore the 18 and it was a little loose but felt comfortable and looked beautiful. 

Rented for my sister for her bridesmaid dress.  Rented all of my bridesmaid dresses!  It fit nicely and the look was as expected.  Photographs nicely.

This dress is gorgeous! Definitely a show-stopper. It is much more gold in person, it is very sparkly and glamorous. It was perfect for my rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, I got a ton of compliments! It does run pretty large, I wished I had gotten the 14 but it was too late. Beautifully made dress!

Rented for my bridal shower and was not disappointed :-)

Oh thank you for this photo! I'm looking for something more gold toned and this picture really shows that!

I did not wear the dress...it seemed too dressy for my occasion however I would rent again for a holiday or upscale party

I wore this to a dress to a wedding on a boat here in Chicago last weekend!  I rented it with the Badgley Mishka gold clutch and the Kendra Scott rain earrings from RTR as well.  I dressed it up with a gold belt I already had at home.  I knew no one at the wedding except the groom but received all kinds of compliments on the dress from strangers.  If attention is what you are looking for this is the DRESS!  I wish I could  wear it again to my bridal shower but I will be on the hunt for another gem from RTR!  I have rented from here often but this was the first time I was able to snap a cute pic earlier in the day!  As usual nothing but great service from RTR!!  I literally have all the ladies at my job hooked on RTR now as well and they will be renting there first dresses for all these summer weddings.  

The fit was PERFECT. 
I looked Stunning. I felt as though I was walking the runway on the Red Carpet.
