ONE WORD-WOW! This was my first RTR experience and I was very happy! The top bodice was a teensy bit too big but that's because I have a very small bust so I had to make sure I had perfect posture the whole night which was actually good! The color is incredible- it really stood out in a sea of black dresses and I loved the fact that it was so modest. Just to clear something up, the sleeves and the last few inches of the bottom of the dress are see-through, but it is very tasteful. Ive been eyeing RTR dresses for such a long time and I finally wore this to my highschool graduation! Wish I couldve kept it!! Oh well, till next time!! Hopefully Ill rent again :-) Thanks RTR!!!!

I ordered my usual size 8 but after reading other reviews on this dress, I also sized up for a back-up. I ended up going with the 10 and it was form-fitting but comfortable! I loved the sheer arms and the color of this dress; I think it went well with my complexion and I felt very pretty in it!

Well-fitted at the bottom of the ribs made me feel secure. 

I usually wear 00. This 0 feels very tight under my chest. Regardless this is a very beautiful dress, the length is right under the knees making it perfect for work. Color is lovely hot pink. 

Beautiful dress! The midriff cutout is actually not mesh and is lined with nude fabric. The sleeves were a little tight but everything else fit true to size! 

This is both very comfortable and beautiful. Got lots of compliments. Probably would have been better with a size smaller, but it was not available on unlimited.

The dress is very form fitting being tight at the arms and hips.  If you feel that you might need to size up from your usual, please do.  Black strappy pumps looked great with the black piping around the lace throughout the dress.  

I wore this to a daytime event!  I got so many compliments.  It fit like a glove and was comfortable to sit in during the 8 hour event.  I do suggest sizing up for a 2nd size because it is skin tight.  Worn with nude heels and Kendra Scott earrings.

Vibrant color, not much stretch.  Great length for tall women. 

It's a beautiful dress .  It looks better fitted snug. The dress is smaller in the chest area .  I usually can fit 6 or 8 . I'm 34b. I can put a dress on moments before an event and be fine but it took me about 10 minutes with my husband to zip the dress up around the breast area. I switched bras and ended up not wearing one.  I would have got an 8 and 10.  Bending was a challenge . 
Love the dress and would get again . 

I loved this dress and I got SO many compliments! It was a wonderful length so I felt comfortable and conservative and the 3/4 sleeves kept me warm in the indoor A/C. But, the sheer element and the body hugging (but comfy and STRETCHY) material was super flattering. It's very feminine. The pink color was exactly as the picture, but the black design was a bit brighter than the picture shows. It's really beautiful detail, though, so it felt like a bonus. 

Wore this to my 31st birthday party! So beautiful and classy. Don't let the color throw you off! It was so fun and I got loads of compliments!

Loved this dress. Picture doesn't do justice to it. The color is stunning. The style is conservative yet sexy.   It's true as others has mentioned, there isn't much give in the fabric, So size up is a good idea, and probably works best for athletic/straight body type.  I wore it for an formal event.  I put together the outfit to create a look of the 60's.  Paired it with a classic pearl necklace and a 2 inch nude pump heel.  After putting it together I feel like I could walk into the set of  Mad Men and just fit in. It is definitely a fun dress to wear.

Dress fit true to size. Being 5'2" it was a bit longer but I was expecting that. I'm 3 months postpartum and this dress was very comfortable. It made me feel like a million bucks :) 

I rented this dress for a fundraising gala that I planned, so I was running around all night and this dress is so comfortable!! This was the second time I rented and will again! :)

I love this dress and it was a great fit. The zipper was difficult so make sure you have some assistance. But otherwise I loved it and will definitely use rent the runway again!

Although it is long, it fit really well and I wish I could own it.

Wore this to a women's fundraiser. Gorgeous dress! 

This dress is so lovely and elegant. As other Renters have noted, this did run somewhat small, particularly through the shoulders, where I am broader than average. I could have squeezed into the six (my almost-always size), but the eight fit much more comfortably. I wanted something with a bit more cover, since the forecast was calling for a cool weekend. I also had several colleagues attending this event so I wanted something professional yet not dowdy. This was perfect- the color is really beautiful and the lace is very feminine. Highly recommend!

This was my 4th or 5th rental dress from RTR and one of my absolute faves. I actually was able to wear this dress for two occasions during my rental period, a spring wedding and semi-formal business dinner in Laguna Beach, score! The color was stunning, very flattering to the figure, perfect length (for us tall girls, about knee length) and best of all, I didn't have to wear a bra! Can it get any better? I found that the 8 fit perfectly, which is my typical size. No need to size up. However, if you're in between a 8 and 10, the 8 may be a bit snug in your biggest areas. Overall 110% satisfied with this rental! Thanks RTR!

I absolutely love this dress. If I didn't live in laid-back hipsterville, I would definitely buy it. The lace has a thin black edge around it that adds interest, separates it from the "usual" lace dresses. My husband looked at it on a hangar and said, "it looks like a grandma dress" until I put it on - vavavoom! Conservative coverage, but impeccable fit and peekaboo styling guarantees glamour.  I would've preferred the dress to hit right at knee, as on the 5'10" model in the photo, but as I'm a little fire plug of a gal, it hit mid-calf. 

This dress was a hit all day and night. I received a 20 and a 22, but I wore the bigger size because I needed extra room in the bust to move and dance. I wore nude shoes. There is a black or navy blue threading that goes all over the dress, so dark shoes look great as well. Rent this dress! It looks great on women of any and every size. I will definitely look to rent it in another color for a future event. 

I was not sure the item would arrive on time, since this was my first time renting a garment I ordered with a week in advance. The item arrived exactly on the date set.  Next time will use the 4 days renting.  Received plenty compliments, very flattering.

Pros:
Excellent Quality, it was true to size and fit like glove, no need to try the alternate free size, it has a soft inside.
Cons:
 You have to be very careful that the lace does not get tangled with bracelets or any other surface that is not smooth.

Overall a very pleasant experience.

Dress is a fitted sheath-- extremely flattering and the color is great. I wore it with spanx and a strapless bra-- it was comfortable and easy to wear. It's a well constructed dress and arrived in great shape. It would be great for any occasion, but I wore it to a rehearsal dinner. Could be dressed up with more jewelry or dressed down with casual shoes. Just really an easy choice!  Got tons of compliments and I would totally rent it again.

I'm sorry I don't have a full length photo but this dress is beautifully made
I sized up two sizes bc my experience with this designer is her clothing runs VERY small
The length on me was below the knee but I wore a heel and it was just fine 
Because I sized up two sizes the arms fit perfectly but could be tight if you have muscular arms or wider shoulders 
Overall I loved the dress and the look

I wore this for one of my bridal showers. It was a bright pop of color in a sea of neutrals. The length is lady-like, but the body skimming cut is very sexy. The sleeves on here are a *bit* more flexible than most lace dresses, though I still couldn't lift my arms above my head. I received many compliments and felt beautiful. The construction of this dress is excellent. I highly recommend this! 

This dress is so fun and classy. The material has no stretch and I could've used a bigger size, but it looked good with Spanx. The length was perfect, hitting just below the knee. So many compliments- you can't go wrong!

First of all, the color of this dress is gorgeous. To me, it looks much better on than on the hanger. It has a very sexy feel for having such conservative features such as sleeves, the length, higher neck line. The lining is silk so it does not give or breathe, and the sleeves are a little tight when you want to raise your arms. This is one to look pretty in.. not to do a lot of labor in. But, it is a stunner. People will compliment you all day, and it is the perfect kind of dress because it is appropriate for everything from work to a formal dinner party. Looking at the pictures of other women in this dress helped me decide I wanted to try it, and I was glad I did. 

The fit was pretty true to what other people have said. Wasn't tight in the arms for me, like others mentioned. I ordered the 4 and 6 and ended up wearing the 4. Didn't even try on the 6. Great length, hit below the knee. 

Stunning dress, great fit, incredible color that really stands out and beautiful details that really polish it off and make it a first-class dress. Was the perfect dress for our final client event of the year! Professional without being stuffy and corporate. 

Worn to a wedding in Charlottesville, VA. Beautiful color and very flattering cut. Fabric has no give it wiggle room. Sized up for additional length and comfort. 

It fits great, it's form fitting, but not uncomfortable. I sized up to make sure the arms were not too tight. Great dress would highly recommend!

This dress is so beautiful! It runs pretty true to size. The length was a little longer than I imagined it would be but it ended up being perfect. The color is a bright pink design with small black accents. You cannot really see the black detail on the lace on the website but it is so pretty in person! 

Pros: It was super comfortable, didn't ride up, easy to dance in. It was flattering and I felt sexy in it! I paired it with a green necklace for contrast (also RTRW). Got lots of compliments!

This dress is gorgeous! The lace overlay detail is stunning over the exceptional color. It is sexy but not too imposing. The fit is so comfortable and flattering. I have a very large chest and I didn't feel like this pulled on me or was too tight. I have rented it twice now. Home run. 

This style was a pleasant surprise! I think this style is so much better in person, so I was very glad that I got to try it. The lace is very soft, but still durable, so you are able to move freely without worrying that you will rip anything. The color is a nice bright color for autumn or winter. The half sleeve is nice and the length hits just below the knee. It's fitted throughout the mid-section and, although the lace adds texture, I don't think shapewear would hurt. 

I had not originally picked this dress. When the original dress came I wasn't crazy about it plus the description failed to mention that is was 14% wool. I live in Texas and that just does not work in 95 degree heat! I called around 5:00pm on a Friday. At the time I was highly annoyed as I had somewhere to be and I had spent enough time picking out the first dress. The stylist suggested this one, but only had an 8 available. I am generally an 8, but I already new this designer ran small. To say the least, I was worried. The dress came by noon on Saturday. It definitely was tight, but I think I got away with it. haha

It turned out to be the perfect dress for my boss's 90th birthday party! They are conservative people and the dress fit in with the feel of the party. Plus, I was complemented my my boss's wife who notices everything and is very conservative with high opinions about the way women dress. The lace is lovely and it has areas where you can see through, so that gave it a sexy edge. Also, I am tall and the skirt went below my knees.

I wore this to Easter Vigil/ Catholic confirmation.  I received a TON of compliments.  The dress has zero give, though, so I wouldn't recommend for an event with a lot of moving around or dancing.  

This dress was so pretty and the lace detail is gorgeous. Busty gals definitely need to size up on this one, I normally wear a 6 but wore the 8 and it fit well. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because when I received the dress, the lining hung down below the front hem of the dress by about 2 inches. After finding out RTR did not have any others of this dress/size, I used temporary hem tape to fix the liner.  

This was my first RTR experience and I was pleasantly surprised! The dress is much more of a very bright pink compared to the listing and it does run on the small side as other reviews suggested. I'm glad I sized up on my backup size. The dress was perfect for my work event, dancing and socializing for hours, I was very comfortable and got a lot of complements!

I like the dress a lot. It was true to size. The color was bold. It was a nice fit.

This dress run small! I'm usually a 6, sometimes and 8 and even in the 10 it felt tight in my arms. Was lose around my waist after going up a size but couldn't move in the 8. 

The sheer part at the waist is lined with nude which makes the dress/bra situation a lot more comfortable. 

Loved the lace and the midi length. Lots of compliments!

I am usually a 4/6 and the 4 did fit, however it was very snug.  I ended up wearing the 6 so that I would have more freedom, especially with my arms, for dancing, etc. The 6 gave me a little more room without looking bulky. The color and fabric is really nice and I got a lot of compliments throughout the night.

I'm 5'9" a 44D and I usually wear an 18W pant. This dress fit pretty well. I was worried because others noted that is doesn't have much give built into the fabric. Worked well for my event. Modest but still fun. I ended up having to wear a nude bra, which wasn't my first choice. But you could see the black bra straps through the shoulder lace. This was my first rent the runway experience. I will be back!

Loved this dress! Got compliments all night. Had to size up due to it being tight in the shoulders. Overall amazing dress!

I loved the color and style of this dress.  It was elegant and timeless.  The dress runs small so order a size up.  I used my backup size and it was still a bit tight!  

The color was great and it fit true to size but the arms were tight so you have to do your hair and makeup before putting it on. I liked it but didn't love it. The color was great but other wise it didn't really wow me. Nothing wrong with it just not my favorite thing I have rented.

It feels amazing they not had a 18 so it was big I typically wear a 16 . The pink is brighter in person great for someone tall :) 
I didn't get to wear it to my event but had to try on as soon as I came home, it would've been perfect .
Bitter sweet but I would recommend for tall and busty ladies 

So I'm not sure if it runs small or if I'm just a size 12 now after putting on some weight but I had to have this one overnighted to me. Overall the dress was comfortable but I didn't look good in any photos where I turned to the side because my "problem area" aka tummy was too noticeable. 

I rented this dress for a work gala. I read all the reviews and 100% this dress runs small. I sized up and I still felt like I was in a sausage casing. I've never needed spanx for a dress before but, I went out and purchased some to make sure you couldn't see and lines from my underwear. It wasn't my favorite dress from RTR but, I did receive complements from colleagues and event attendees. The color was a show stopper but, not the right fit for my body type. In addition, there was a strange lining that poked out in the front that made me feel self conscious as if my slip was showing. The length was great, I like something that hits right below the knee for work events and at 5'6" it looked as pictures. Some other reviews mention that the sleeves are tight and I can understand that, it isn't a super flexible fabric but, I didn't have that problem. Keep in mind I am smaller chested and that probably helped with the comfort of the top. If you rent, size up! You won't be sorry you did. 

So this dress was a beautiful color, well made, great length, gave me coverage etc etc, but it is not really cut for an hourglass figure. I included a photo to explain, the middle of the dress was really loose. I kept pulling the material around the middle back in pictures, but it still was baggy. I tried the size down, but it was tight on my arms/hips and still really baggy in the middle, so it made sense to just wear the larger size and be more comfortable all over. I think however if your stomach is your problem area then this dress is perfect. All in all it is a great dress but just not ideal for an hourglass shape. 

I didn't end up wearing this dress because if you look closely, the under skirt showed. I'm not sure if I would have had the next size up, if it would have still showed. Still a pretty dress! 

This was my backup and I did not wear it. Other reviews wrote that it was better for athletic and less hourglass/pear shapes and they are right. There was way too much fabric at the waist for me. The arms and hips were fitted for a 14 and, actually, since this is a 14W, it is a fair 14W cut. I may have done better with a regular 14 - I don't need extra bust or waist that the W gives. But the W was the only way to get my size, so I tried it. The length was great for talls. The midriff panel in the W has a nude fabric backing, so it isn't really you behind it.

This was a perfect dress for an event that I needed to look professional at but also wanted to be a little sexy/stylish. I'm pictured in the 6 but I wore the 8... The 6 was too tight in the chest and the 8 was a little bigger than I would have liked in the hips but I couldn't breathe in the 6. If you have bigger boobs you absolutely need to size up!
