This dress was elegant and beautiful.  It was perfect for our school's annual fundraising event.  It has a very full skirt and is longer than the traditional long length I usually rent.  A standard length would have been fine. 

I received a ton of compliments and felt beautiful in this dress. I did feel that it made my midsection look slightly larger and fit strange around my chest (perhaps a 32DD was just a bit smushed in a size 4). Overall, it was a show stopper and the length was great with heels. You can't see from photo, but yellow heels were a great accent.

I usually wear a 2 or 4 but needed a 6. Rent the runway went above and beyond to have the dress overnighted to me. I got so many compliments on this dress and felt beautiful in it. 

I usually wear a size 4R, but went with the 6R.  I LOVED this dress - it was so comfortable and had MANY compliments throughout the evening. 

Wore this to a winter black tie wedding and it was perfect. My only complaint about the dress is that is is extremely long I am 5'4" and had to wear huge heels and it still touched the ground

I had ordered a different style dress that they ended up not having one of the sizes.  This was my backup dress and was the one I chose to wear to the gala I attended.  I loved how it fit and received so many compliments.  I normally wear a 14-16 size and my dress was a 16WR.  I'm 5'4" and it was just a little long even with a two inch heel. 

The fit of this dress was perfect. I'm around 5'9" and I wore the dress with flats and it was just the right length. If you want to wear heels definitely go with the long size. The zipper was a little tough because it pulls through a seam so another person is definitely helpful. I didn't wear a bra but you definitely could - the coverage on this dress is pretty solid. Overall an amazing dress that made me feel like a million bucks AND it was comfortable. 

I am only 5'1 so this was definitely long on me.  Both the 2 and 0 were long, the 0 was too tight around my ribs.  I ended up having to use hem tape along the front and let the back flow a little.  I would probably hem it all the way around next time because the back got stepped on a few times while walking around.  I also am extremely small chested after having two kids, so the top felt a little big on me.  I did not wear a bra since the back is low cut, but the fabric is thick enough so that with some petals, there was no problem.  This dress is absolutely stunning, the fabric is thick but never felt heavy.  Other than the fit I was completely in love with this dress.  

I wore this to a military ball. I could barely zip the 4R, but 4P fit me just fine. I could not wear a bra with it, but I felt supported by the structure the dress. Overall, I enjoyed wearing it. 

I wore this dress to a Fundraiser Gala and it was perfect!  I received so many compliments!  The dress was a bit long even with heels. I always thought I was 5'8" but was recently measured at 5'6" guess I'm shrinking!  LOL. I will definitely use RTR again!!

The fit was perfect, no bra necessary (34 A/B). I am 5'7" so I ordered the dress long.  It was too long.  I wore two inch platforms and I still needed to hold the dress up  when  I walked.  Regular length would have been perfect.  The dress has no pockets that's my only complaint (there was plenty on fabric) great for spinning.   The dress definitely made an entrance and we turn heads wearing this gown! The compliments never stopped.  

I ordered two dresses and this one was actually my backup because ML usually runs a little big on me (I am 5'5", 100 lbs), but this one actually fit like a dream. Besides not having pockets this dress fit perfectly and got unlimited compliments at our event, a Black and White themed Penguin Ball at our local zoo. If it wasn't so memorable I would wear it again, as we are just entering gala season! Loved the fit, the flare, the lily, and the back of the gown which is a slightly deeper V than the front. Fun night feeling like the belle of the ball. 

So happy with this rental - my first RTR!  Great quality dress, classic, but stood out in the crowd.  Got so many compliments.  Felt gorgeous.  Wore my tallest heels, at 5'' 1" it was still a tad long, but doable.  Highly recommend.  

This dress is even more gorgeous in person than on the website. And even more gorgeous on than on the hanger. The compliments were bountiful! 

I will say that the dress was a bit tight at the top (I'm a 34DD), but it did fit. And the dress was very long. I'm 5'6" and wore 4inch heels and I would still step on the dress when walking. Of course, it wasn't an issue for dancing so I didn't suffer too much :-)

I wish I had more occasions to wear this dress. This is the first time I've worn a gown like this and I absolutely loved it! It was nice and long, but I still kept my heels under 3 inches so the hem would touch the ground. The top was form fitting so I didn't need to wear a bra. The dress had just enough poof to give you that princess feel. Would rent this dress over and over again if I could! 

Dress fit like a glove but was really long. I didn't mind I let it flow around me I did pull up the slip and netting to prevent any mishaps!#comfortable/glamorous #blacktieready

The dress is simply elegant and the flower gives that interesting touch. A stranger stopped me to tell me how beautiful the dress was. I am 5'4"  110 I b and wore size 0R. The fit was great though it is long. I wore it with 4 inch heel and it's still 1-2 inch too long that I kept tripping on it and i had to hold the dress up all night while i walk. I used a bra extension that wrap around my waist to allow low cut back and use clear string straps that work well. 

I wore this to a Fundraiser Gala.  I ordered a 6R and 8R... unfortunately the zipper on the 6 was not functioning, so I went with the 8.  The gown was a heavier material that I expected, and came down low in the back. You'll need a backless bra.  I'm about 5'5" and wore a low heel and the length was perfect - no dragging.  It really was a show stopper - highly recommend!

I wore this dress to my Junior prom and it was wonderful,  although it was long and I had to wear high heels with it and it was a little big around the waist, I believe I just got a size to big. This dress was so pretty in person and I got lots of compliments for it.

This dress was unforgettable !! I felt like royalty.

This dress is definitely one of a kind! It the perfect gown for a formal affair. It is subtle yet beautifully stated. The painted print is perfectly located and makes you feel regal. The dress fits true to size but has no stretch at all. There is a natural waist on this dress, I would say that is the only tighter park of the dress. Definitely rent this gown for your next special event. 

The fit of the dress was pretty true to size. I like dresses that have a tighter fit up top, but usually with that it means that it is hard to move around. With this dress, however, even with it being tight, it was still easy to move around! The only issue I had with this dress was that the zipper was a little messed up so it took a little bit of time to get on, but other than that it was great. The only thing I would mention is it was just long enough for my feet to be covered in flats, so if you like heels, your feet might show a bit.

Best dress ever! I am 5'6 and apple shape. Hid my stomach. The fit and flare was amazing and showed off my body well. Major Hit. 

I am a small woman, and this dress fit perfectly with the right pair of heels. I did have to keep pulling it up to walk long distances, but that's typical for me. The bust was larger than I had expected and I had to pin the straps up to get it to a size where my boobs weren't falling out. However, I would 100% wear this dress again. It was beautiful and wonderful and fit the occasion perfectly!

This dress was classy and elegant, perfect for a black tie event! 

The dress was a bit large in the bust for me. It was also extremely long - an 8L - sent at the last minute by RTR because my voices choices were washouts.

That said, wearing this dress was a blast. All night I had strangers coming up, asking me to spread the skirt so they could see the design, gushing about the simplicity of the dress and originality of the print. This dress was also darn comfy to wear. I felt like a million bucks.

definitely great for a busty woman who wants to show off a small waist! fits larger-chests, though def shows off cleavage. everyone complimented me on the dress, and how unique it was. i felt like a million bucks in it, and didn't stress about how i looked while giving the groom's toast (he's my best friend). my one gripe, and the reason it's 4 stars and not 5, is that zipper is terrible. the dress fit perfectly, but still took 2 people to get the last 3 inches of the zipper to go up. there's a bend in the zipper that makes it really tough

Loved this dress, so elegant! I received compliments all night long! Fit great, no bra needed. I did have to wear 3 inch heels because of the length. The zipper is difficult to zip up and it broke when trying to unzip at the end of the night. RTR customer service was great about it. 

This is a gorgeous dress, perfect for a black tie affair. I'm 5'4", 113 lbs, and the size 2 was the closest fit. It was a bit long, and I should have used hem tape. I also have a wide rib cage, so it was a bit snug there too. Otherwise wonderful dress!

If you are tall, get the L!   Perfect with heels 

I rented this for a Gala I attend for my job (we are sponsors for an event and the gala is a MAJOR part of it). I was nervous about the dress as the size 8L was the only one left and I've never fit into an 8 before, but the dress fit perfectly. I got so many compliments about the dress (the calla lily printed on the skirt was a huge hit) and I felt fabulous. It did start to get a little tight at the waist towards the end of the night (but I had eaten a 4 course meal so that's probably why). The only real con to the dress I found was the zipper, which a few others have mentioned in their reviews so I was prepared going into it. It is definitely a zipper someone else needs to zip for you, at least right at the seam on the waist. The dress fabric is very thick right there and it took some gentle tugging to get it up. Luckily, I was dressing at a coworker's home so her husband could zip it for me because there was no zipping it on my own. 

This. Dress. It was not my first choice, I had to have it overnighted when my first didn't work out. It is true to size, but very long. I definitely would've been better off with the 6R. Despite being insanely long, it was so beautiful. I received more compliments than I can count. I didn't want the night to end! 

Fit was flattering, but very long. I had to gather it up to walk normally, but found I was able to dance as long as I kept moving! Boning up the side kept the fit tight, but was a bit uncomfortable when seated as it poked into my side below the armpit. Didn't wear a bra (couldn't have) but the fit was close enough to not be revealing. I felt like a princess and got compliments all night long. Would rent again.

Dress was perfect for then night.   Formal but the design kept it fun.   Fit was clean and simple.   No pockets- only drawback to the dress  

Got loads of compliments. I'm 5'10" and wore three inch heels, length was perfect. 

Absolutely beautiful dress. My only complaint was it was a bit smaller in the torso so when I sat down, the straps over the shoulders wouldn't sit properly and had a big gap. I really liked that it was long enough for me to still wear 3in heels and have the dress brush the floor. 

This dress was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't want to go all black and the flower gave just this additional pop. I am 5'6" and wore 3" heels and the dress was just the perfect length. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is because of the bust. The dress did not allow me to wear a bra (I could not have zip it up AND you would see the strap in the back) and it squeezed my breast, my 34C disappeared.  So if you have a large bust, be careful.

This was definitely a classic, mature dress. I loved the material and simple yet impressive design. I do wish it was a bit tighter across the waist and upper body to give me more of an hourglass shape and hold my girls a little more. All in all though the dress was true to size and a perfect length with my heels. Brushed the floor just enough to not trip me but to still be flowy.

I LOVED this dress. Will definitely rent again. The only reason I gave us four stars was because the zipper is very hard to zip! Once in though, I was
comfy and people were going gaga over it! Love love love. 

I loved this dress so much, and had so many compliments on it! Someone even came up to me and said my dress was the best of the night! I felt beautiful and also comfortable all night!
