I wore this for my husband's company christmas party.  They did a Country Christmas theme.  I thought that this dress fit the bill and looked great with my boots.  The dress fit perfectly, I wore the XS.  It was short, but not too short and since it's not fitted, being short was OK!  It was very comfortable as well!

This was my first rent the runway experience. I absolutely loved the dress- great color, flowy and great material. I ended up wearing the small the XS was too short. I received compliments all night! I would definitely rent again. 

I really loved how this dress draped my body and my arms. It was gorgeous. I would buy it if I could. The large was shorter than I would normally wear a dress but it still worked and looked good!

I wore this event to a fundraiser where I was able to enjoy the night on the dance floor.  There was plenty of room and comfort in this dress so that I was not restricted.  The compliments I received were overwhelming, yet truly genuine.

I'm usually an xs or zero. But I needed the small. I even went bra less and it fit better than the xs. 

I rented the xs... I believe the small was not available. It was a little tight around my arm where the zipper was so i just unzipped it a little and tucked in the corner and you couldn't tell at all. I would go up in a size for backup. The fabric was a little heavy but i still loved it!

The dress was gorgeous- the color, the cut, everything. I got so many compliments all night. The wedding was at Chelsea Piers and it was indoor/outdoor, so there was no AC where we were. The dress is lined, so it was a little warm when the couple exchanged "I Dos," but as the night got cooler it got better. I would absolutely recommend this dress! 

I rented this for a wedding. It was a comfortable fit but I had to go with the larger size because at my height the dress was a little short. The underlining was extremely short. Which didn't matter much for the appearance except that I felt like I needed to keep pulling the underlining down. The outer lining was much longer than the inside. Was just a tad uncomfortable because of that. Otherwise the dress was great. It is though a little heavy because of the side draping. But I would still highly recommend this dress. It's the perfect color too :) 

Second time doing Rent the Runway, and loved this dress even more than the first. I'm not gonna lie - When I saw that many people were wearing this at 6, 7, 8 months pregnant, I kind of was intrigued. I am not pregnant, but I always like a dress that will hide any belly bulge and be forgiving in that area! So yes, it ended up being very flattering. I got tons of compliments all night long as well as when I posted the attached pic on Facebook. I ordered a M and L. I tried on the M, fit well, though I thought it might be a tad short. When I tried on the L, it just kind of hung on me like a sack. So, I decided to go with the M and just be extra careful :) It turned out to be totally fine, and I was super comfy and felt confident all night long. 

The dress was heavier than expected but the fit was so amazing. I loved wearing this dress. 

This dress was great. Wonderful quality. I'm always nervous when your only options are S, M, L and not numerical sizes, but this worked really well. I was also 19 weeks pregnant in it and you could barely tell I was pregnant. Dress had a nice drape to it but wasn't frumpy.  

good for large chest, comfortable fit, distracts away from large areas

Absolutely comfortable because of the thick, luscious fabric. It moved well on the dance floor and was completely opaque. I wore glitter gold sandal heels for the wedding and flat sandals for the reception - I could not be happier with this rental.  

I wore this to a wedding and it was perfect. I received many compliments. 

I ordered the XS and the S, but found the S fit better in the underarms.  The dress was so flattering and I got a ton of compliments.  The material is thick, but I still found it suitable in 90 degree Florida-summer weather (granted, I wasn't standing in the sun for hours on end - it was a quick outdoor ceremony). Great quality dress. Fits true to size. Length was conservative, but still flirty (I like to call this "clexy" = classy/sexy). I absolutely loved it!

Truly made me feel like VIP when I wore this dress in Vegas.  Had tons of compliments.  Runs rather big but it was perfect for my postpartum belly.  Only complaint is that it smelled a little musty; like it had been stored in a cold, damp basement.  

A comfortable, roomy dress to wear while 6 months pregnant at a formal company gala. I normally wear a small, but went a size up to M to make more room for the belly. The small fit too, but the belly lifted the dress a bit so that it was shorter than I would have liked. I received a ton of compliments, especially about the color b/c a lot of women were wearing black that night. Fabric had nice weight to it, and didn't cling awkwardly. Great rental price, both dresses came in great condition,, and delivery was on time as usual!

Those were the words of my date when I walked into the room, and it blew me away. I definitely felt the part! Details - I ordered the M and the S; I would have ordered the L with the M but it wasn't available. Other reviewers reported the dress being a little larger than typical, so I wasn't too worried but knew I could do an emergency swap if needed. The M was perfect and fit like it was cut for me. The dress is heavier in weight but felt great on. I loved the dramatic draping and way it moved when I walked and danced. The cut is short and shows a lot of leg, but not too much at all. The color was perfect for a late summer cocktail formal gala, and wow, did I get compliments all night. After some back and forth, I went with gold accessories to go with the "Greek goddess" feel and pulled my hair into a loosely curled side updo over the bare shoulder. This was my second RTR experience, and it was as excellent as the first!


Wore this dress to a wedding 24 weeks pregnant. The small covered my bump perfectly.  It fell a few inches above the knee. It's perfect for an expectant mom who wants to look chic.

The dress fit great! I didn't need to wear a belt to cinch it in, but it might have looked nice with one if I had the right color belt. Very comfortable and I felt great in it!

Great dress overall! Great color for the summer, extremely vibrant and looks great with a tan. He material was a little heavier expected but still very nice.  I'm usually a medium but it was out of stock so I went with a small and large.  The small was a little too short on me, and the large was just a tad roomier than what I wanted, but still looked great !  

This dress could not have been more perfect. I got more compliments on that dress than I have ever gotten on anything. The color was perfect, the fit was perfect, everything was perfect! I may just rent it again for next years event!

I loved this dress and wanted to keep it!  It's beautiful and comfortable and I had many compliments all night!

It was perfect fit and the jewelry was exactly as described - many compliments.  I had been in a major car accident two weeks before and the dress was easy and comfortable to wear.

Great little dress for a fancy occasion! It was comfortable, not too short, and was still able to wear a regular bra, just removed one strap. Like others said, it was easy to dance in and stood out in a sea of dark colors. I did gold accessories, but easily could have done a lot of different things with it. In that way, it's really versatile - you can dress up or down or for the occasion.

Tons of compliments on this dress, especially with the necklace (also RTR).  Was just an inch or so too tight around the opening for my shoulders, so wide-shouldered ladies might want to order a size up to be safe.  The rest of the fit was perfect. 

This dress worked for the occasion, however I don’t think I would rent it again.  The draping made me look like I had no shape.  In retrospect, I think I should have gotten something that cinched at the waist.  The color was good, but it is not as vibrant as it looks in the pictures…it looked like it had been worn several times.  The lining underneath also wanted to ride up, and I kept having to pull it down.  The size XS fit me better through the chest and hips, but the skirt was VERY short.  The XS was also uncomfortably tight under my armpit, so I went with the Small instead.  It is a great dress, I just don't think it was the right one for me. 
	


Very comfortable I can't wait to rent again for a nice Summer Wedding/Event

True to size.. a little short (and im 5'3") but still felt great in it!

I thought the sleeve would get in the way, but it didn't! The dress fit perfectly with the right amount of "hang" in the body. Not to mention, the material is soft so it was very comfortable to wear while out on a boat on the lake!

Great for a new "mommy". Just had our second baby right before the wedding and ordered the medium and small. Dress ran large so went with wearing the small. The dress was able to hide everything I had felt uncomfortable with and yet was still very flattering. Got compliments all night! Would def recommend this dress!

Great drapery to dress, fun color, really easy to wear.  I opted for large earrings and no necklace and that worked well (although I liked the no earrings/necklace look, too).  Caution - while the dress is more than roomy and I could have worn the S, the length was too short for me to do so.  I am 40 and a little paranoid about dressing like I am 20.  I got many compliments on the dress.  And, this was the best retail experience ever.  I am just mad I was not a company founder/investor!  THANK YOU RTR!  I will never buy a dress again!

This dress is AMAZING! I wish I owned it! It is short in the back and I am only 5'7 so had to wear spanx shorts just in case- but the compliments were rolling in! LOVED IT!

The dress fit well and I got lots of compliments on it at my friend's wedding. I almost belted it, but didn't because it seemed like too much with my jewelry too. The only problem was my husband noticed a little stain on the dress before we left for the wedding. The small was too big and baggy on me so I had to wear the XS (with the stain). Thankfully it wasn't too noticable though, but that was a little disappointing. I love how the dress isn't too tight and is flowy so it hides any tummy (especially after eating all those hor d'eurves before dinner!

The color and draping of this dress are stunning. I received countless compliments and felt great in it. Not to mention it is beyond comfortable. I'd rent this dress again in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much for your cute picture and helpful post! I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks...I am 21 weeks now, so I will be 6 months pregnant at the time just like you were :-) I too am normally an XS, so your sizing info is very useful. Thanks again!

Thanks for posting this review! I've been looking for bump-friendly dresses to wear to several weddings this summer. Glad to hear this one worked out well! 

Finding a stylish formal maternity dress that wasn't $500 seemed to be a challeng. I opted to rent this non maternity dress in hopes that I would fit around my growing bump. Since RTW lets you rent two different sizes I felt confident that it would work. I rented a S and a M when my non maternity size is XS.  The small was perfect!! The flowy nature of the dress was comfy cozy and easy to move in.  I got so many compliments I almost wished I owned this one so I can wear it again! Measurements given on this review are my 6 month maternity and  non maternity measurements. The only number that changed wile pregnant was my waist.  

Loved this dress! I wore it for a sorority Red Dress Affair. I got tons and tons of compliments and people couldn't believe I didn't try this dress on before buying it because it fit so perfectly. I thought I was going to need to wear a belt with it but after trying it on there was nothing that needed to be added! Definitely something you need to invest in!

I went with the large because of the length. Both medium and large fit well except for the length. The medium was a little too short for me. Loved this dress and got lots of complements. The color is beautiful! 

Great color for any skin type. Very comfortable. Would recommend getting a size smaller then what you usually would. I had two events in one weekend. If I knew I wouldn't run into some of the same people at both events I would have worn this two nights in a row. Tons of compliments all night. I would highly recommend this dress and see myself renting it in the future. 

I rented the small & medium and ended up going with the small.  It was flowy enough that it concealed my hips but still defined my waist (a must for gals with a little something on the bottom).
