I'm usually between a 10 and 12 , this designer , I always size up to a 12. It fit perfect ! Love the crochet lace look ! 

So I ordered the dress in a 6R, and also received the dress in an 8R. When I tried it on, it literally JUST fit. (It was slightly snug around the waist - but not enough to make me go up a size). That being said, the wedding was out of the country, in Canada, and I decided to bring both dresses with me, just in case. I ended up wearing the 6, and I'm glad I did. It fit perfectly and I got a lot of compliments on the dress. It was literally perfect for the wedding I was at, and since it was cold outside (the ceremony and cocktail hour were outside), I wore a jacket over it, and it was still very chic. I was so glad I had thought of Rent the Runway instead of buying a new dress. Thank you for having the perfect dress for me. 

This dress is such high quality, has really interesting details, and fit like a glove! I received tons of compliments on it at a semi-formal wedding in March. 

The wedding that I attended was “Garden Themed” which in my opinion was within the same vein as the Met Gala theme of “Garden of Time.” So even though I wasn’t invited to said Met Gala this year, this dress for my friend’s “Garden Themed” wedding was perfect! It was fun, and the green and pink floral colors on the dress really do pop out. It was super chic and comfortable to wear. Also I would say it’s perfect if the wedding is also somehow “ Bridgerton” themed as well.

I received this dress as a back-up which worked perfectly.  I ended up wearing it to a rehearsal dinner.  Comfortable to wear even when sitting.  No need for a bra due to built in top.

The beautiful stitching and design details translate as elegant and expensive. There isn’t a ton of stretch, but it still fit comfortably with my curves.
I rented this as an option for my rehearsal dinner but ended up choosing another dress. I would rent it again if an opportunity arose.

The dress does run a bit small so I would say size up! It fit me like a glove! It synchs perfectly at the waste and was a midi length on me. I’m 5’4 and about 190 so size 16 was perfect for me! 

Be prepared to get a lot of compliments! The material is high quality and the embroidery has a sheen to it which makes it even more noticeable. I’m 5’4”, 163 lbs, 36 D bust and wore a size 12 like a glove. There is no give, so be sure to read the reviews to help ensure you pick the right size. And if you have wider hips, you may want to size up.

I wore this dress to a Broadway show in NYC and got several compliments. It's very flattering and the design is so beautiful. Fabric is thick enough to cover the lumps and bumps, but doesn't have a lot of give. Would definitely rent again.  

Wore this dress to a wedding and got a million compliments. I usually wear a 16 in dresses but sized up to 18 and it fit like a glove. Loved this dress! 

Dress was true to size and very comfortable. 

This dress was perfect for a wedding. I received many compliments!

The dress was beautiful as usual! I wore it to church with a fascinator hat! It was a little tight around my arms in the back and under my arm.  Perhaps I needed to wear a different bra not sure??  However, the dress was beautiful!! 

The dress fit perfectly and looked really nice at a wedding. 

Perfect dress for an evening wedding. I loved the way it fit and was very comfortable. There are multiple layers of lining so it got warm when dancing but not terrible (note i wore this for a spring wedding so it wasn't too hot) 

The lining was the only con; I struggled to get all the layers down after hiking it up to use the ladies room and needed to have my husband pull to make sure they were not bunched. 



I adored this beautiful dress. The detail at the waistline and sleeveless top was flattering for my apple shape. I'm very petite so it was a bit long but didn't bother me. Lots of compliments. I will rent this dress again. 

Very pretty. The sheath style wasn't a problem for walking around, but it might be difficult to dance in.

Wore for a formal wedding, comfortable and great fit. 

Loved this dress for a gala event. It was elegant and the lace was gorgeous. Would buy! 



Pretty dress. I wore to a meeting and dressed it down with a professional blazer

This gorgeous textured dress is a standout piece with intricate embroidered red flowers and green leaves that bring a lively, elegant touch. The lace detailing around the neckline and arm openings adds a vintage charm, while the waistband, adorned with red roses, beautifully accentuates the waist for a flattering silhouette. The length is perfect, offering a graceful fit that complements various body types. It’s ideal for special occasions or dressy daytime events, combining timeless elegance with modern appeal. A true statement piece that exudes femininity and sophistication.

I’m normally a 12 but got a 14 and 16 based on reviews. Both fit nicely, but I opted for the 16 to have more room. The flowers are more fuchsia than the picture lets on. Lots of compliments on the dress, would rent again. 

Wore it at a fundraiser event and loved it!

Wore this Marchesa dress to my daughter’s college graduation yesterday along with this Maje bag I also rented and LOVE! I went up a size due to my bust. I would have had zero issue in the 16 or even 14 with smaller than a DD. Tons of compliments (even one from the kiddo) definitely recommend! 

This dress is beautiful. I wore it to the Kentucky derby. I wasn’t able to wear a regular strapless bra because it would’ve showed both in the front and the back so I wore a sticky bra

Went a size up as others wrote, a little snug around the waist but great dress and tons of complements 

I wore this dress to a 1940s holiday party. It was elegant and timeless. 

Beautiful dress, very comfy. 10 was just a little tight and 12 was just a little loose, opted for comfortable, still looked great.

This is a beautiful dress - more so in person as the magenta flowers are very vibrant. That said, the skirt is tight around the legs so I had to be careful getting in and out of cars and getting anything from the ground (including putting my shoes). Overall a great dress for a somewhat less than formal (but still fancy) event. I would rent this again! 

The fit was great, very comfortable, lots of compliments. Great vibrant colors. 

This was the perfect dress for our “favorite things” exchange book club holiday party. It was so pretty and I felt gorgeous. Had to size up 2 sizes to get it to zip. 

Fit just right. Not a lot of give, so if in between sizes, then size up. I loved the color and patterns of the dress. And it was just different enough to not look like everyone else. 

Wore this dress for a bridal dinner. Fit perfectly and true to size. Didn’t find the embroidering itchy as some other reviewers mentioned. You can’t walk long strides given the length but I didn’t really need to for a dinner. Received many compliments. It looks pretty expensive. 

I’m almost 5’7 and think this dress may appear a bit too long on anyone on the shorter side

Wore it indoors but could imagine this dress being a bit too warm for a summer outdoor event due to the thickness of the material

Such a pretty dress, easy to wear! I wore to a wedding rehearsal. This dress could be dressed up or dressed down. I wore with flats and a cashmere cardigan for a more casual rehearsal dinner. 

I’m a bit bigger on top so I sized up and I’m glad I did, I felt it was a little lose through the hips but that was ok to fit good on top. Very comfortable and easy to wear all night, lots of dancing! 

Loved this dress, it was my backup option but ended up being my favorite!! It’s a great material, and it’s fitted without being revealing. Two slight warnings - I found my ring catching on the lace, so I had to keep my eye on that. Also, the black lining would get bunched up when I used the restroom - so just be sure to check everything is pulled down properly. This was a great dress, and everyone loved it!

The band at the waist is not stretchy at all so I would size up if you’re in between. The embroidery and colors are beautiful! It feels a little matronly to me-  not really sexy- but very fancy and comfortable if you get the right size!

This was my backup dress and it’s gorgeous. It fit like a glove, but I didn’t fall in love. Perhaps with the proper undergarments and styling it would have been great, but it just wasn’t “me.” I don’t have a very defined waist and was hoping this dress would create the illusion. It did not in my opinion. I don’t think it did much for my curves. It also has a little bit of a built in “hip” if that makes sense that I felt exaggerated my curves instead of flattering them. If I didn’t fall in love with the other dress this would have been a great option. 

Great fit! Can’t zip this all the way up in the back on your own.
I had planned to wear this to fine dining. But it’s really more an elevated daytime dress…brunch, lunch, work, or church! Length is great…not too long for my height. Beautiful embroidery and the colors pop. Good rental but honestly not sexy enough as a cocktail dress or date night.

The fabric is undoubtedly gorgeous, but I felt like the dress didn't really do much for my figure.

I am 5’4” and 125 lbs. and the 6 fit better than the 4. Still, the design across the waist made me look thick and the dress overall was a bit flashy for a spring wedding. Maybe more appropriate for winter with a fur coat! 

It fit well, but I ultimately went with another dress. This didn’t have the “it” factor for me. Also, I understand what other reviews say about the fabric around the armpit area causing some discomfort although minor. 

This was a backup dress that I did not end up wearing.  I felt that it was bright and attractive but not dressy enough for my black-tie event. As other reviewers noted, I would not have worn a bra, and it would not have been a problem. Form-fitting but not tight.

I didn’t wear the dress because it was a little tight in the rib cage and under the arms. It’s a great dress though. I wanted to size up to a 10 but it wasn’t available. 

I wore this to a black tie optional Friday evening wedding. It’s elegant without being too fussy- really easy to wear. Of note: I am long waisted and the waistband of this dress sat higher in my rib cage. Not as flattering g as it could have been!

I suppose nothing super glamorous is comfortable. This dress is stunning. I am between a 4 and 6 and had to rock the 4 bc the bust of the 6 was too big. The four was form fitting so my ass looked great lol the details make this dress. I had so sinche in my hips to get this up and down to pee, and as others mention, there are three layers comprising the dress. It worked great for me…although i couldnt take long strides and stairs were tough. The bust really didn’t do anything to make me look like i had boobs but it was sleek and stylish.
