Marchesa Notte

This dress fit perfectly and I got so many compliments! I was a little nervous because this was my first rental, but I was so happy with the result! The only thing I would note is that the sleeves made me feel slightly restricted when I lifted my hands up over m head while dancing, but I would still DEFINITELY recommend renting it! Love, love, love the dress! I wish I could wear it to every event!

I received so many compliments on this dress. The color is so amazing and it looked fabulous on my skin tone. I would suggest that if you wear a spanxs and plan on dancing, you may consider otherwise. The lining kept rising due to the spanx I wore underneath my dress. Other than that, I would definitely order this dress again.

Perfect fit , ( 5'7 , 145 lbs)

I wore this dress for a summer Charleston wedding. I'm usually a size 00/0, so I was worried about the fit of the dress. Once it arrived and I was zipped in, I realized I had nothing to worry about. It fit beautifully and the detailing on the dress is much prettier in person. The color is a little more vibrant in person as well which made for a perfect summer dress. I received compliments all night and everyone raved about the lace and the bit of sparkle along the neckline. I paired the dress with a pair of chandelier earrings with the same type of sparkle from the dress, and I dressed it down with a pair of tan heels and a gold watch. This can be really dressy or it can be perfect for a summer wedding when dressed down. I loved this dress so much, I didn't want to take it off!

I actually did not wear this dress. It was too big on the top. It was a more muted color than in the photo. It was a beautiful dress but neither size worked for me. One was too big on the top and the other was too small on the bottom. :(

Need to have a tan for this color!

This dress is the epitome of beauty; it was like wearing art. The details on this dress are so stunning, not even a picture can do it justice. I wore this for a wedding and I received more compliments than I ever have in any other garment. It was so perfect for a summer wedding- sexy and sophisticated!

I was scared to rent this dress because there were no reviews for it but i loved it so much that i decided to take the chance. It was sooo beautiful, the color is amazing and the beading and lace are so elegant. I wore it for my graduation and everyone stopped me to tell me how much they loved it. I am a 2 most of the time and the 0 fit like a glove. also i am a D cup which makes it very hard to find clothes that fit both my bust and my waist and this dress was perfect. I found the exact shoes the model was wearing (aldo) and wore silver accesories. So size down and beware if you are small chested... gorgeous dress!!

I had a hard time deciding which size to wear because the 0 was too small in the arms to even lift them but fit perfectly on the bottom, which looked like a better fit. The 2 was perfect in the arms but loose and not as pretty of a fit in the bottom. The too neckline and underarms were really stuff and itchy, hard to move a lot or dance. I thought the dress was unbelievably stunning but I ended up changing out if it to dance.

I rented this gorgeous mustard-yellow dress for a vibrant Mendhi/Sangeet ceremony. The sparkles and asymmetry and amazing textures really worked for the occasion where I was surrounded by elegant and super shiny saris and other traditional festive attire. I particularly loved the raw edge lace and sheer combination along its very elegant neckline. Compliments galore!

Very tight in butt area.

I'm most often a size 4. This dress looked pretty fitted, but despite recent junk food binges, I'm glad I sized down rather than up. The 2 ended up being ideal (with the help of a waist cincher). This Marchesa gown might work best for bustier ladies with smaller waists. While the 2 fit me like a glove below the bust line, it was too large in the shoulders/arms/chest. The nude overlay wrinkled up with movement and the folds took away from the elegance of the dress. The sleeves flared out just a touch too much. I don't have bony arms, so I can't imagine what it would look like on the super-petite. Fleshier-armed ladies can probably rock this better than others. I ended up not wearing this to the event because I noticed a small 1.5" tear in the lacy overlay fabric; while it wasn't noticeable at all, I was afraid that any movement would have caused it to expand. RTR was fabulous as always, and remedied the situation quickly and gracefully. While this dress is without argument GORGEOUS, it is also very delicate and movement restricting. As mentioned, I would recommend getting this in your regular size, but only if you are curvier on top and can fill it out so that it doesn't look quite as baggy. If I had worn it, I would have opted for the 2 to bypass the comically baggy top portion, but my stomach area/waist would have been happier in my usual 4. I'm still giving this dress five stars, though, because it is absolutely lovely and the color is luscious. If you have the right shape, it will probably be one of the best dresses you'll ever rent from RTR! Not a "get-down-and-dirty-on-the-dancefloor" dress, but great for standing around and feeling fancy. It'll work on short and tall ladies alike.

I saw this dress online and IMMEDIATELY fell in love. I have a hard time renting from RTR due to my size and some dresses are more matronly than I'd like to wear. I saw the navy blue version of this in person and loved the detail. I get the dress in the mail and no issue zipping it up. Fast forward to the night of the wedding. I am about to jump on the shuttle to go to the venue when the zipper opens. The teeth unraveled and without my extremely patient boyfriend, I don't know what I would have done without any back up and being out of town. It took us 15-20 minutes to fix it and used a safety pin to ensure the bottom of the zipper wouldn't do it again. Luckily, I was good for the rest of the night. I love RTR but I haven't had a stress free dress rental yet. Hoping the next one goes smoothly.

I rented this dress (and the earrings) for my bridal shower. It was PERFECT. Beautiful detail and PERFECT fit. I am normally between a size 0-2 and the 0 fit like a glove. Not much give due to the ornate fabric so you're not going to be doing extravagant dance moves in this dress but it was perfect for my shower and would be perfect for a nice semi-formal/formal event where short dresses are appropriate. The color is really beautiful as well. I loved everything about it!

The dress wasn't the mustardy color I was expecting, but as one review put it, almost a chartreuse...an olive-y yellow maybe. Regardless, it was all anyone could talk about at the black-tie wedding! The fit was great for a curvy size 6; maybe a tad roomy in the shoulders, but that was actually good for dancing. This was my first rental, and after how easy the process was and how fun it was to have such a standout dress, I will only be using RTR for all my special events!

The fit was a little tight on the bust area. I have a larger bust and I probably should have ordered one size bigger! I was able to pull it off regardless.

This was the first time I ever used RTR and I was very pleased. I was a bit worried about the fit because the only size available was a 10 and I can often range from an 8-12, depending on cut. The dress fit wonderfully but I do agree with other reviewers that this isn't a dress you want to dance the night away in, as it does not have much give in the delicate lace areas. I received so many compliments throughout the entire evening. The dress is stunning and the color is divine.

Loved this dress. It was very sophisticated and fit perfectly for a formal Chicago wedding. The color is nothing like I've seen before; a bright (almost neon) mustard -- apparently it exists? Gorgeous though! However, the dress did run small so definitely size up. I'm on the low end of a size 10 and the size 12 was even snug. Definitely break out those spanx because it's a tighter fit and will show EVERYTHING! Got compliments all night long; very much worth it!

This dress is stunning. The details are so intricate and lovely. It fit me true to size. My measurements are 34b and I am between a 26/27 waist and the four fit me just right. The waist is a little forgiving, but I found it to bunch up when I sat down, so just make sure to adjust it. I wore this to my brother's wedding and got so many compliments. The colors are beautiful and the fabric is light weight so you can wear it when it's warm out.

I had been eyeing this dress for the longest time, and when the opportunity came I rented it for a family wedding. The overall fit was "ok", but there were some pain points: -the color is a more of a chartreuse than a deep yellow -the sleeves were baggy and the hem was not straight like it's pictured. It's more like the natural hem of the lace, which makes it look a little "old lady" -not flattering for the flat chested (lots of room) Overall, it's average, but probably wouldn't rent again.

This dress was so beautiful-- dark mustard in color with lace and beading throughout! With lace being so popular this year, the color and detail of the dress definitely made it stand out. This is not a short dress (I'm 5'8" and it still hit at the knee when standing), and the sleeves were comfortable/not tight at all. Would not recommend for busty women, as the chest doesn't have too much room to give.

I wore this to a Black Tie wedding at a beautiful castle. The color is vibrant and can't be missed. The material is absolutely gorgeous and it screams elegance. I normally wear a size 4, but opted to wear the size 2 in this dress. The size 4 had a larger shoulder area and it slumped a bit, making it look matronly. The size 2 was tighter and a much better fit around the hips and shoulders. It was a very sexy look with the tight waist and sparkly waistband. In my second photo, you can see the back is open. I could NOT close this dress on my own as your arms cannot go above your head or you run the risk of ripping the delegate lace at the seams. (Size 4 probably would have been fine) I could wear a strapless bra without issue of it peeking through. I was fearful of not being able to pull up the skirt to use the restroom, but there is JUST enough room to do that. The material is not flexible. The lining is double sided and was never an issue. I would rent this dress again!

I received so many compliments wearing this dress to an outdoor DC wedding. The color is a showstopper. It's such a hard color to describe since it looked different colors in different lights. So inside while getting ready, it was more of an olive green/mustard yellow. Then out in the sunshine, it was more of a goldenrod yellow/hint of green. Awesome color that you can pair with any color accessories (I went with navy accessories, and nude/gold shoes). Very comfortable, even in the 95 degree heat/humidity of DC in August. The beading and detail is amazing. The sheer section on top is very sheer, so you'll have to wear a strapless bra. I tried the see-through bra straps and you could still see them. The cap sleeves were a little annoying since you couldn't move as well, but they were still comfortable. Definitely not a dress you could wear to a reception, as there was no give in it at all. Overall, a wonderful dress for any occasion.

The color was absolutely perfect for what I wanted, which was a fall wedding. The dress is so comfortable and flattering that it was easy to wear. Not only that, but the compliments were abundant. I typically wear a 4 in "regular clothes" and a 2 in dresses. The 2 fit perfectly, the 4 was a little baggy and not as flattering. Such a great experience from renting to wearing!

I chose this to wear as maid of honor dress for an outdoor summer wedding and I could not have been happier with my choice. This dress is true to size. I ordered my usual size 2 and a back-up size 4- the size 2 was a perfect fit. The quality of the fabric is great and the details are beautiful. I specifically like that it has a nice lining. On the RTR website, the dress appears to be a sunflower shade of yellow, but in person it actually has a sort of greenish tint, which I didn't mind. It has a zipper and then a hook at the top- I had to have someone else hook it closed for me. I wore it with a strapless bra and champagne-colored pumps. The compliments were coming in all day and it was heart-wrenching to have to return it, but I think the next person to wear it might feel the same way.

"The is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen!" That was just one of the compliments I got while wearing this dress at my bridal shower. It's simply stunning. The color is amazing and so are the details. It's also very flattering and quite comfortable. it was perfect.

The dress itself is very form fitting so you might want to invest in some shapewear like SPANX. I also wore a waist cincher in nude which helped a bunch. The details on the dress are lovely and overall dress, I felt very elegant and beautiful wearing it all night long!

I am usually a 8, but the 10 fit better for my 34D chest. The 8 fit well everywhere else , and I could have worn the size 8 if I didn't have a choice. The deep yellow color is unique, looks great on darker skin tones in my opinion. Liner material I felt was thin, then with lace overlay, showed every bulge but spanx solved the problem easily. Only complaint was that the two small hooks at neckline above zipper in back easily kept coming undone, and over course of evening, friends had to keep redoing them. For my height of 5'3", the dress came just below my knees. Danced in the evening without restriction at arms or shoulders.

I wasn't able to wear this dress to the wedding I planned for. The size larger was not in stock, but if it had been I would've been wearing it today. This dress is fitted with no room for error/squeeze as the fabric has no stretch. I am a busty girl so my boobs couldn't fit in the dress. Sad to send it back and can't even wear it for the night. But if I ever have another event I need this dress for (like another wedding) I will have to order a size up so I know it will fit my bust.

First off all , I saw this dress on your website and I said to my self this is the dress I want to wear to my friend wedding. I had to get it...SO GORDEOUS!!! I order two different sizes, 6 and 8, I normally wear a medium which is a size 6 for me, and for me the 6 fit perfect !! I love everything about this dress, the color was amazing, the dress was kind -of vintage looking to me, very pretty. I got so many compliment from my friends and guests at the wedding, THE DRESS ARRIVED ON TIME, I WILL DEFINITELY RENT...... FROM RENT THE RUNWAY AGAIN, VERY PLEASE WIHT MY DRESS...THANKS

I wore this dress for our engagement party. My fiance is Indian so I was looking for something that would fit in beautifully among the colorful saris. I came across this dress and had to look no further. The color is a wonderful mustard, perfect for an October party, and is so feminine and detailed with the lace and subtle beading. I wore a size 0 and it fit like it was customized for me (I am 32 - 24 - 33). I received compliments all night on the dress and was so happy with my choice. The dress is simply stunning!

This dress is just gorgeous, especially the color. While the cut is a little more conservative, the color (a pretty chartreuse) really makes it young and fresh. Unfortunately while this fit on the bottom in my backup size, the top is just too tight for me to be comfortable at my event, and as the size 2 was damaged, I'll have to select another.

I loved this dress and felt gorgeous in it. The bead work is to die for and I love that the dress was light. Would definitely rent it again:)

I wore this to a wedding in Philadelphia and people on the street were complimenting the beautiful dress, which continued all night. It really was a gorgeous dress - the chartreuse color was the perfect shade and so out of the ordinary, the lace looked expensive, and the crystal embellishments around the neck waste were lovely. I didn't feel great in the dress though. There are some dresses that make curves look sexy & beautiful, but this just wasn't one of them. I would recommend this dress for someone small or someone with a long, lean body.

Love the style, color and overall feel

The fit was perfect

I got tons of compliments. The fit and the look of the dress was perfect for the wedding I attended.

I loved the details on this dress, but ended up going with a red lace dress I got as a second option. I have a pale complexion and the color wasn't the best for me.

The dress fit and was very comfortable. Pro was the gorgeous color and the detail work--minimal jewelry needed. Con would be the lack of give in the dress--little difficult getting into and out of the car but I wouldn't change a thing. It stood out in a sea of black party dresses and I loved it.

The dress is so comfortable and the color is very eye catching!
