If you are on the fence about this dress, you won't regret getting it! I wore it to the symphony and it made me feel like I actually belonged in the box seats we splurged on. The fabric is rich and the perfect amount of heavy. The colors of the skirt aren't as vibrant as they appear on this website but the effect is still gorgeous. The length was perfect on me wearing three inch heels.

This was PERFECT for an outdoor fall wedding! The material is thick and heavy so it keeps you warm! No bra needed, bonus!!! And, best of all, POCKETS! The lines were amazing, very flattering! I got so many compliments throughout the night. 

The dress was the perfect length with my one inch heels. It was comfortable and even though the girls were bit visible, at no point did I think they would fall out. Most importantly-it has pockets!

Not sure what shape this works on, but it wasn't mine. Had to size up because the arm holes were too small, then had to get creative in sizing down for everywhere else. The pockets are massive, but that was the only redeeming element of this gown.

Fancy Mad Hatter. Super fun. Sized up, as I almost always do with the higher end formal wear -- because I have a bust and hips and it fits smoother one size up

Pockets were the best!
Compliments all night long 

I wore this for a prom-style event for a non-profit, and it was a stunner! It fit well, I got tons of compliments, and it had pockets! The top was slightly low, but honestly I didn't mind because I loved the rest of the dress so much. I was able to wear with heels and it was still fine when I kicked my heels off to mingle and dance. 

The dress is beautiful, very heavy. I wanted to love this one so Much but I absolutely lost all my Body shape in this dress. It is very boxy shaped, with straight lines. I think it's because I have a long torso and a very large chest. This was just a no go for me. 

Loved this dress and was complimented time and time again at my event.  I wore my true size but would have preferred a size down.  You can wear with a plunge bra which is a plus and it's got a great sheen of a mermaid look on the bottom.

I'm 5'4 and 135 pounds and would describe myself as a straight body type though too athletic to be called narrow.  The cut is shaping and I would have loved to wear this dress.  I'm not going to wear it because even with platform heels it is too long.  The 6P was unavailable otherwise I would have ordered that. You definitely want to be comfortable showing off cleavage to wear this dress.  Side note: the one star off is because it's awfully hard to zip the zipper - you will want to have someone who can help you. 

I wore this when I was working as an event planner for a nonprofit, so it wasn't tight, it wasn't revealing, and the pockets were amazing! The gala was masquerade themed so I paired it with my mask and gold necklace and low heels. 

I rented this for my daughters wedding.  I got the 18W long because it was the only one available.  I usually wear  an 18-20, and this was a tad big.  It's a beautiful dress and I really loved wearing it!  Lots of compliments! 

I like this one but I'm too short i think

Fits true to size, beautiful fabrics, received many compliments! 

I tried it on in store it was going to be a backup dress. It fits so well but ultimately I went with another dress. Best part about this dress? It has pockets!!! You can also wear a real bra and spanx lol

I rented the dress for a Mardi Gras Ball. The dress fit pretty true to size. I am a pear shape and have always had trouble finding the perfect fit for both top and bottom without alterations. With that being said, the bodice was a little loose but not to loose that I couldn't wear it.  I did feel like I was flashing people if I bent over for something.  The petite length was perfect. I worn 2 1/2 inch heels. The skirt of the dress is very thick and heavy (curtain material). The colors in the skirt are muted in comparison to the picture shown on the site but still a beautiful dress. The pockets were great however my bracelet kept getting snagged.  All in all I was happy with the rental and received a number of compliments on the dress.  

I am a wide hip person and for all practical peruses a drop waist should NOT look good - It was beautiful and I felt beautiful and others said it was very flattering and gorgeous on me. The deep V front did not allow for a regular bra - no need as it's so substantial and lined that I went without. The skirt has such a beautiful water-like pattern that I picked up the colors around me in photos. The pockets are not big enough to hold an extra-large phone, but plenty of room for a lipstick or smaller phone. (YES-POCKETS). I am 5ft5inches and with a 2 inch heel the dress draped the floor, it was comfortable to dance in and walk in, didn't feel like I was tripping or too tight to walk. Received many compliments, love a black bodice and the wavy iridescent colored skirt. My only "complaint" is that the dress arrived at 11pm Friday night for a Saturday night event. I tracked the package that was "out for delivery" - you have to have confidence in the system and at Christmas time my confidence was waning after it didn't arrive by 5pm. But that anxiety melted away when I opened my package. Didn't need the back-up size or dress. 

The fit was amazing. I felt really confident in this dress and it was very flattering. I got a ton of compliments. The pockets were the best part because I didn't have to carry a handbag and grabbing my phone for quick photo ops was a breeze! My cons are this, the color is not nearly as vibrant in person. I expected more green in the skirt, instead it looked like someone spilled motor oil in a puddle on a black top. While still pretty, just not what I was expecting. Also, the texture on the bodice by the end of the night was rubbing the back fat of my underarm area, girls with the same, you know what I mean. But, I did have this on for over 6 hours and didn't start getting uncomfortable under the arms until like hour 5. All in all, I would recommend and rent this dress again. 

I had to get a size 16 because the 14 was a bit tight for a larger bust. 

This dress was super comfortable! I didn't need to wear a bra and the pockets were an added bonus! I highly recommend for bustier women (go a size up though) my smaller size made me look like a pancake chest!

I got this dress over nighted to me because my original order did not fit at all. This dress is very heavy as others have said.  When they say the skirt is heavy, they dont just mean thick fabric. Its stiff and doesn't flow or move on it's own;  The whole dress sits as one large piece and therefore tends to look a little shapeless when you move. I think you can kind of see that in the picture. The other thing that was disappointing about this dress is that it was a rather large fit, and the colors were a lot more muted than they appeared in the picture.  There's a lot of cleavage showing in this dress. It was easily a size larger than the other dresses in the same size. My daughter really liked this on me. I ended up wearing another one that had a little more shape to it. I would recommend this for winter formals and to women who want something looser fitting, but I would definitely order a size or 2 down from my actual size and push up my best assets if you know what I mean. 

I'm 5'7" so long was the perfect length.  The dress had a lot of detail and I got a ton of compliments.

Ample bust room and stretches but you’ll need a special bra because of the low cut but no need doe spans because the cloth smoothed everything else out 

Compliments all night. The fabric is comfortable but very heavy for a May church wedding (I was warm.) At 5'0" in 2 1/2" heels I could walk, but absolutely had to lift the skirt if I wanted to climb any form of stairs at all and dancing could have been easier. Also, it has pockets which are great for small things, but the first time I sat down my cell phone fell out immediately. The neckline was a bit lower than I had anticipated as well; I would rent this again...but probably not for a family event.

I ordered my regular  size 14, with a 12 back up. A few days before the event,  I put on a dress for work....and ...decided to have the 16L as my backup. Thank goodness, the 12 L would not have fit at all, the 14 was just too tight in the waist...everything else perfect, opted for comfort and wore the 16. My fault, I like good food and drink. Looking forward to my next Rent the Runway gown/ event! But first, let's get me back in a 12!!! 
P.S. I  am 52 years old  and 5'9"!

I loved this dress. Would have rated 5/5 except the bag I received the dresses in was ripped, dresses exposed and I had to buy a box to send it back in. LOVE this dress. I am big up top and think it was flattering to my body style. 

Flattering and comfortable; this dress is so great. Based on previous reviews I pre-purchased a lace bracelet, and it was perfect. It seemed like it was part of the dress. 

I wore this about a month after having my twins, so was looking for something fairly forgiving that I could wear a supportive bra with. This did the trick. 

This dress is amazing! Walking to my event a jogger stopped in her tracks and told me I looked amazing. Ha. A total testament to this dress in person. Pockets were clutch. The material is somewhat heavy but offset by being sleeveless. I would definitely not plan to wear stockings to help as well. 10L hit the floor perfectly with 5in heels and I'm 5'8". The color on the bottom half of the dress is subtle and elegant and not obnoxious. THE ZIPPER IS TOUGH - plan to have help getting zipped up. Pretty low cut but I have no boobs so didn't mind. Imagine that heavier busted girls may feel a little more exposed. 

I wore the 16L with a 3.5-4 in heel. The dress hit at my toe line and did not skim the floor. I’m 5’10 in my bare feet.  Overall the dress fit, it was snug across the chest area and my husband and my teenage son had to zip me up. Due to the snug fit, no bra was needed for this dress. The bodice material has no stretch so if you are broad across the back and chest area order a size up. 

This dress was gorgeous! AND POCKETS! The material was so heavy but it was perfect for and OUTDOOR wedding....in February. The color was amazing, it was a little big in the bust but fit nicely around my waist and the skirt flowed beautifully. But seriously pockets! The top does go pretty low and shows a lot of cleavage.
I don't really have any cons, even with heels it was a bit long but other than that... I really want to buy this dress...but I have no reason to own it. I will definitely be renting it again it the occasion arises. 

It was beautiful, and elegant, can wear in the winter or summer. I loved the pockets as well. If you are tall get the long option it fit perfectly. 

I'm 5'7 1/2 and usually wear a 6 or 8 depending on how the fit runs, for this dress i wanted to make sure it was perfect so i ordered an 8 and a 6 just to be safe. The 6 was perfect, length wise i wore low heels about 2 inches and the dress reached just above the floor. Very comfortable and IT HAS POCKETS! The skirt is absolutely breathtaking the colors really show up well. I recieved quite a few compliments at the Grammy's. Definitely recommend! 

I got the 10P and the 12P as a back up. The 10P ended up fitting like a glove. My chest was a little squished, but it turned out okay. The bodice is padded, but you could certainly still wear a plunge bra with this if you so choose - I did. The zipper is *extremely* difficult to pull up. Make sure you have help! Even though this was a petite size, the skirt was very long. I wore 5" platform heels, and you can see in the picture the skirt still covers my toes. Which, thank goodness it did. I wore a Spanx bodysuit under this, and decided to forgo stockings, so my legs and feet were bare. It was -7 in Anchorage the evening of the charity gala, so I was grateful that the skirt was fairly heavy material and it actually kept me surprisingly warm on the walk back to the parking garage. The material around the underarms got a bit chafey towards the end of the evening, but not abysmally so. Also, POCKETS. THIS HAS POCKETS!! That's a game changer right there. I loved this dress. It's been my favorite that I've gotten from this site so far.

This dress was the prefect fit.  A little low cut in the front but I love that I could wear a regular bra wih it.  I wore the long because it was the right length with my 5 inch heels.  I love that it had pockets.  

I rented this dress for my daughter. She loved the fit but the lenght was a bit short with 3" heels. She is 5'5" and 190lbs

Loved this dress! However, with the dropped waist it would ride up on me (not sure if Spanx would help this). Also, the girls were on full display and there was no way around that. LOVE LOVE LOVE the lace detail and POCKETS! 

I felt very elegant as a guest at a black tie wedding in this dress. I ordered the 22R and the 20R as my backup size. I wore the 22R, it was a little short, the 22L probably would have been better; I was expecting it to be a floor length gown, but I'm taller so I just wore some strappy heels. The material is very heavy but not too restrictive, I had no problem dancing the night away!

I normally wear an 8/10/12 depending on cut and fit so I ordered a 10R and 12R in this dress. Both were actually too big! I made the 10R work by pinning the shoulders a bit and for a few hours of wear it was fine. RTR wanted me to send both dresses back, along with the earrings I had ordered which were then no longer available, in order to recieved the 8R; I was worried that the 8R wouldn't fit and would be out of a dress (and accessories) so I got creative with the 10R. With that said, I got a TON of compliments on the dress throughout the evening and it was VERY VERY comfortable!
Based on the other reviews I expected a the bottom hem to be a bit unfinished and it was, along with being a bit long. I wore 4" heels and that helped!
I also ended up forgoing a bra since the cut was pretty low - I had to be careful when bending over so the girls wouldn't fall out and the smaller size would have helped hold them in better.
I would definitely rent this dress again!

I️ received so many compliments at the Gala I️ attended. So many people came up to me saying how gorgeous the dress was as well as the earrings (I️ also rented them from RTR)!  I️ would recommend wearing a push up bra of some type due to the cut of the dress.
