I LOVED this dress! It fit perfectly and true to size. The only thing was the arms were a bit tight and it was definitely long. I'm 5'9" and I wore 3 1/2 inch heels and it hit right to the ground. It was snug on the chest, I'm a D cup so I did not wear a bra. 
I received SO many compliments and it really felt like such a special gown to wear. It arrived perfectly on time and my rent the runway experience was perfect. 

There is no stretch in the lace of this dress.  Going up one size gave me plenty of room to move and still fit like a dream! 

Fits true to size, arms are a little tight but overall super comfortable! Stunning Dress! 

Beautiful gown - tons of compliments. Fit snugly and was overall very flattering - very tight in underarms, but I'd rather the lace be too tight than too loose. Only complaint was that the dress came with 2 holes I had to sew up a few hours before my event. Good length for tall girls, but could not wear with very high heels or else it would have been too short. 

Wearing at least a 4 inch heel on my petite 5'3" frame was a necessity....at that height, the dress was perfect in length. As in some of the other reviews, the sleeves do fit a little snug, but not uncomfortably tight. This dress is very comfortable and I was able to dance the night away with ease for the New Years Eve wedding I attended! I love Marchesa!!  The compliments I received on this dress were numerous. This is my first Rent The Runway experience, and I am more than satisfied....I will be back!!!

Hi, I&#39;m 5&#39;2&quot; and I&#39;m ordering size 2R, do you think it would fit me okay? I&#39;m totally okay with wearing about 4 inch heels

The dress fit beautifully and the detailing was great. I am 5' 4" and with heels it was the perfect length. 

This dress was beautiful! It runs a little small. I'm usually a 12 or 14, and this 14 only fit with Spanx and no bra. The color and material were beautiful.  It was also shorter than the recommendations. I  usually never need a long length both this dress hit my ankles without heels. Ultimately I wore my backup because I felt the lace didn't photograph well; it exposed my belly curves in an unflattering way. I would rent this again if I lost a few lbs and ordered the long length. 

I wore this dress to my daughter's vineyard wedding. It was perfect! I got more compliments than I could count. The dress does not have a tapered waist, but it fits very well. It has two linings, therefore spanx aren't necessary.  The lace and mesh are very delicate however, and the dresses I received had been repaired, but because of the vine and leaf pattern, it was not noticable. I was comfortable all night long and felt wonderful. It as very appropriate for a wedding, but with only the lace on top, I didn't feel old or matronly.  The color is a cranberry, which is just what we were looking for! I was very pleased and would recommend this rental.

This dress is good for a fall or winter event. The sleeves are fine but might get a little warm in the summer time due to the tight fitting. 

Worked perfectly for this event and she fell in love with the dress.   We really needed the Long version of the dress but it wasn't available.  She is 5' 9" and could have easily worn the dress with flats. 


This is certainly one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever worn. Elegant, conservative yet sexy at the same time. This dress is LONG- I am 5'7", wore 4.5" heels and it touched the ground slightly.The sleeves are NOT forgiving there is no stretch/ give to them.  If you have muscular arms - it may be difficult to wear.  Also, I would imagine that the model has the dress cinched in the back- it does not contour at the waist as it shows in the photo.  Ok to wear nude bra with it- doesn't show. Overall, The detail in this dress is incredible, the color photographs beautifully. I would have liked for it to be slightly more form fitting at the waist.  Experience with RTR- 5 stArs. 

Is the dress really that purple? The picture of the model makes it look a lot more plum.

In person it's cranberry in color.  I think the flash makes it look a bit purple, but it's not.

It's more of a plum/ burgundy color, I wore it and it was simply elegant!

I'll start with the cons because there aren't many: I ordered a 12r and 14r, I loved the length if the 12r but I couldn't get the back to close comfortably, so I went with the 14.  I would've preferred a long I'm both, but they weren't available, although, I suspect the 12 actually was a long.  I am very shapely, with large breasts and a large hip/bottom area.  The dress fit my curves perfectly.  It was perfect for a black tie affair!  I'm so glad a designer like Marchesa looks out for us thick girls!  I will say this though, I have very small arms, so this dress wasn't a problem at all.  My arms are the same size as they were when I was a size 8, so this might not work for someone who has larger arms.
