I wore this for my step-daughter's wedding and it was perfect. I usually a 12 or 14 in dresses and this one had enough give that the 12 fit perfectly. It was elegant and easy to move around in. I received a ton of compliments too! 

Perfect for the USMC ball! Gorgeous dress! A tad too long but nothing a cute pair of heels couldn’t fix!

The dress was beautiful! I got many compliments that day. Over all fit was great, I just had to pin up the straps a bit. 

I loved this dress! It fit so well, was very comfortable and stretchy (great for dancing!), and I got so many compliments! Felt like a million bucks. 

I'm 5'2", 135 lbs and slightly curvy. This dress fit me perfectly (size 8R with 2 1/2 inch heels).  Everyone loved it. I received many compliments and inquiries for where I found it.  "Haven't you heard about renttherunway?" ;-) 

I rented this at the last minute for the AHA heart ball. I just wanted something pretty and flattering on my curves. This did the trick! I fit in all the right places. It seemed like it was a tad short but other then that I loved it. Only funny side was that my friends date was wearing the same dress in navy blue. 

I bought this, so was able to have it hemmed and altered a little. It would have been way too long if I hadn't. Between the purchase and the event, I lost about 10 pounds, so I probably could have worn a size smaller, but the 4R was just fine. I love the lace, so I opted not to wear a necklace in order to emphasize the dress details.  Everyone loved this dress - I got so many compliments, but directly and indirectly (people mentioned the dress to my husband). It felt very elegant and I look forward to wearing it again.

The smaller size fit  me perfectly.  Length was perfect.  Nice light, stretchy fabric that looks very delicate but is not.  Note : You will need a helper to button the back.  Also the photos online don't do the color justice- it's a very rich purple color. 

Everyone on here said the dress ran small. I'm typically a 6 so I put in an order for an 8 and 10.  Especially after comparing my weight with everyone else's I figured the larger options would be safe. Last minute I changed the sizes to a 6 (my typical dress size) and an 8. I'm SO glad I did. The 6 fit perfect. 8 was too big. I posted a side and front picture so hopefully this helps you ladies out when comparing. The dress is lace so it is a bit stretchy. I also ordered a long because u heard the dress runs short which is true. I'm 5'5 and wore 3 inch heels and it just touched the floor. LOVED this dress. If you are looking for classy... This is one to order! 

This wasn't my planned dress, but it worked out better than I could have hoped.  It fit perfectly and was incredibly comfortable.  The length was a bit long, but it seemed to fit the style of the dress.  Very elegant.

This dress was  absolutely perfect. I wore it to a military formal dinner and received so many compliments. It was very comfortable,light, and easy to move around in. The dress is stretchy fabric and very flattering. I am 5'5 and with my heels it felt a little shorter than I would normally like. I would recommend shorter heels.

The dress did run a bit large -- I'm normally a 2R, so I'm glad I opted for the OR as my backup size because I wore that instead. I also found that the dress wasn't as long as I thought it would be  -- I'm not particularly tall (5'5"), but  wore short heels and that was plenty. Could have even worn flats with it. 

Before renting, I read the reviews and several people said to go a size down due to the lose straps. I listed and got a 4 instead of a 6 and a 4L instead of a 4R. The dress fit perfectly, I looked absolutely stunning, and the compliments just kept rolling in. RENT. THIS. DRESS.!!

I have a really hard time gauging my size for clothes and initially ordered the 8 as a backup to the 10. However, the 8 was a wonderful fit; the fabric is really soft and stretchy so I felt really comfortable in the gown all night long at my boyfriend's senior formal. I felt really beautiful in the dress and appreciated everyone's compliments, and it was kind of exciting to be the only girl in this elegant look. I don't like wearing particularly high heels, so it was a perfect length for me, but if you're more into higher heels, you may want to think about ordering an 8L instead if you're around my height. I'm sad I have to return this dress-- it's so beautiful I'd love to wear it more often!

It fit perfectly and gave my body a perfect hourglass shape!

This dress fit me perfectly. I am a little busty and it fit nicely on the top without it being too revealing. It was very long. I am 5' 11, and I still needed 3 inch heals to keep it from dragging too much. I would rent this dress again! I loved it. 

I was unsure about renting a dress but this one knocked it out of the ballpark!  It fit wonderfully and I was very pleased with the dress.  My husband even said to me "This dress fits you better than any dress you have ever worn to a ball"....and we've been married 13 years so there have been a lot of dresses!

Fit was great! I normally wear a 4 and I got a 4 and a 2 but wore the 2. The only thing was, I'm 5'4" and had to wear mid-height heels because with taller heels, it was shorter than I liked. I guess I'm right on that cusp between Regular and Long. 

I should have worn the 10R or 10L as the back was a tad large; however, dress fit like a glove everywhere else. It was absolutely perfect for my event!

I absolutely loved this dress. It's so comfortable and easy to move in. I loved the color and it is very flattering.



The dress was so amazing. I wore it to a gala and got complements all night. I usually wear a size 2 and noticed the sizing in the description said it runs small. The other reviews led me to order a size smaller though, and I'm really glad I did. A 0 fit perfectly. At 5'2" a regular was a little long though. I had to get some ridiculously high heals, but it was totally worth it. I was so happy with this dress and the necklace as well. I will absolutely use Rent to Runway agin the next time I have a formal event. 

It fit true to size and was the perfect length for me with 4 in heels. The material was clingy and stretchy, great for dancing. The lace design was beautiful. I received many compliments.

Fit as expected and allowed for movement 

Easy to sit, dance and eat in_ the fabric is not restricting at all. 

This dress is gorgeous, lace throughout, so very soft and comfortable.  It's very tight fitting all the way through, showing off curves.  I got so many compliments on it, especially the color which is a deep plum.  Perfect for a formal or blacktie event.

This dress fit perfectly from head to toe. It was incredibly soft and comfortable for a white tie event that included dancing, dinner, and more dancing. The length was perfect with 2" heels. Probably would have been fine w/ 3" as well. It has stretch to it so go with your regular size and one smaller to try. 

I'm normally a size 4, I've never fit into a size 2 in my life until this dress. Definitely runs big! The fabric is stretchy and oh-so comfortable. I got so many compliments. The beautiful lacy straps were also a little big (I'm a 34B), but it was manageable. If totally rent this dress again in a heart beat.

Very form fitting, elegant, beautiful design. It is sexy yet classy. 

This picture does not do the detail of the  dress justice.  I ordered this dress before any reviews came out and was nervous about the fit. I am smaller on top and have big hips usually a size 12, but ordered a 10L and 12L.  Ended up wearing the 10L with 2.5  inch heels because the lace on the back was way too loose.  Did hug my curves but the bottom of the dress is very stretchy and wore spanks to smooth out the hips and stomach after two kiddos, able to wear a strapless bra as well.  Received endless compliments all night.  Rent this dress, you will not be disappointed!!! Saw lots of other girls in RTR dresses.  

I wore this to a formal benefit gala. I had originally tried on a 10, but found it to be a little loose, so my stylist  gave me an 8 as well. It fit perfectly!  I'm a busty girl so this was perfect for me (with or without a bra!). It was so comfortable and I got lots of compliments. I highly recommend this for girls with curves, it shows off everything very nicely.

The dress fit fantastic and was very comfortable because the fabric had a little stretch. Could have worn either size  I rented because of the stretch so I picked my usual size because the lace laid better on my shoulders and back. Loved the top lace on the dress and I got lots of compliments!

Rented this for a chilly November wedding... Everyone was complimenting me on the dress! It is a beautiful dark purple, and made me feel super skinny! I ordered the 6L and I had to wear heels and it was still pretty long, but I would rather it be too long than too short. The material is so stretchy so the dress is actually really comfortable- I didn't want to take it off!

Stretchy fabric, flattering style, the back is beautiful. The bust was not as flattering as I thought it would be. I received a lot of compliments and questions where I got the dress. Someone asked me if it was a bridesmaid dress!

Loved the dress. It fit great and I received a lot of compliments. The only downside is the straps are elastic and the weight of the dress on the hanger stretched them out so the lace on the back was loose. I had to use safety pins in order to make it look right. I wish I had another formal event coming up so I could wear this dress again. 

Beautiful dress, love the color and fit. I wore it to see the Nutcracker and had lots of heads turning. I normally wear a size 4R or 6R but ended up with a 2R. My only complaint is that the lace back didn't lay well on my shoulders and back it hung loose. 

The dress is beautiful, the deep purple color is gorgeous, and the fabric has some stretch in it so it's great for dancing and it won't be restricting if you have to eat anything. The neckline is a bit low, but easily solvable with some double-sided tape. The hem is a little long as well- I am 5'4" and was wearing heels and still had to hold up the hem when walking. But overall, very happy with it, got a lot of compliments throughout the night!

The regular length was good for my height, I am 5'5 and was probably 5'7-5'8 in my heels... Just the very tip of my stilettos were showing.

I have rented this gown twice because it is so beautiful, classy & comfortable! I wore it once for a charity gala & again a second time for my husband's formal holiday party, and received so many compliments each time. The deep purple color is unique and the stretchy lace fabric is comfortable and not restrictive at all! At 5'9", the long length is definitely better.  My husband commented on how classy this dress is, and the back detail is a very nice touch.

Comfortable to wear all night. Heavy fabric. 

Wasn't too long since I got the petite version. Got away with wearing 2" heels and I'm 5'2"

I ordered the 2 petite and 2 regular. I am 118 lbs and 5'2". The petite length was too short and a bit small around the bust. The regular length was too long and when I tried pinning it up, I found that the hem was uneven which made it tricky. It was also a little big in the back at the top. I had to pin it at the shoulder blade area. Overall, it's a beautiful dress and I loved the lace detail! Be prepared to show some cleavage! 

Great fit, very comfortable.  Was told by many guests I looked like I was ready for the oscars.  Many compliments through the night.  

Loved the stretchy material and the lace. ❤️ I would rent it again and again but I don’t if they still offer it.

I loved this dress! I wore it for my company's Christmas party and it was perfect. It was classy and elegant, but different from what most others were wearing. The lace overlay is gorgeous and the deep purple color was beautiful. I was worried it would smash my chest and look weird, but it was fine and I loved the shape it gave me!

Fit awesome, though I'm not sure if I ended up wearing a regular or long, since I received two dresses that were the same length. It's a form fitting dress, but also stretchy! I have a small chest, so no issues with cleave at the formal event, but could be an issue for some.

This dress was everything I wanted it to be! It was simple, gorgeous color, curve hugging yet forgiving. The lace details were perfect. I'm short waisted so I found the shoulders to be slightly loose but it wasn't bothersome. At 5'2", I wore 4 in heels that gave me just the right height for the dress to slightly sweep the floor. While the fabric isn't "thick" it was adequate enough to not require a bra.

Classy, looks expensive, just the right fit. Felt very comfortable all night having this dress on....My skin is very sensetive and normally I would get some skin redness wearing lace...not this time!!!!!🤩🤩 Loved the dress and got so many compliments.

Lots of compliments on this dress!  You definitely need to wear a strapless bra but otherwise it was comfortable and fit really well 

I LOVED this dress! I'm 5'9 and the long was perfect with heels. Just touched the ground. I could move easily and the fit was amazing. With some stretch in the material I think you could probably size down. Worn with a strapless bra. Wish I could have kept it!

This is a really lovely, classy dress. I received a ton of compliments on it and was comfortable in it all night.  I rated it only 4 stars because I feel the length options were awkward. I don't like to wear tall heels, so I preferred the Regular and still felt it was a smidge short, but the Long was too long. I am 5'8" for reference. 

This dress got compliments all night! It hugs fairly snug and I wore spanx and nipple covers. I was able to move on the dancefloor all night and it stayed in place and looking great! Probably best on a tall slim/athletic build.

Looks great with the bump. wore this one for an elegant dinner - 7 months preggo. Received LOTS of compliments! 

I have an hourglass/athletic shape with a very small waist and it was a little big through the middle, but fit well on the top and bottom. It has tiny round buttons on the top/neck and I could not get those opened so I slipped that over my head. I wore 2 1/2" heels and it was just the tiniest bit long (like 1/4 to 1/2"), so it worked out just fine.  It was super comfortable and was easy to pack...no worries about wrinkling. 

I was concerned the dress may be too long as I'm just over 5'1", but with a modest 3" heel, the 6R was perfect! The dress was very comfortable, but fits snug with stretch. You'll want to use shape-wear if you're concerned about smoothing your curves. The lace over the shoulders, which forms the keyhole back, is a bit tall so I pulled the back of the dress a little lower to accommodate for the extra fabric. There is absolutely no structure in the bra area, so I recommend a strapless bra or no bra, if you're up for it. Overall, this dress was absolutely beautiful and it was also comfortable enough to move and dance in. 

This is my 2nd rental and it was amazing! The dress looks beautiful and it fit amazingly! I did the 12 long because the 12 regular fit the same but it ended at my ankles and I wanted it longer with my heels. The dress fit and felt so comfortably. The back lace was a tad loose but overall it wasn't noticeable and it never slipped down. Give this dress a try, you won't be disappointed!

I received many compliments.  The body fit perfectly, but the lace sleeves were a tad stretched out.  It did not keep the dress from looking beautiful though. I am 5'2" and wore 3 1/2" heels, length was just right.  I wish it couldve stayed in my closet! 

I received so many compliments on this gown! The neckline is beautiful and the fabric is very forging making it comfortable and flattering. 

I loved this dress so much! I wore it to a black tie event for rhe University I attended. Its a beautiful eggplant purple and rhe lace detail is fantastic. I wore it with shimmery dark gray heels and it was perfect. Fabric is somewhat stretchy. I have a petitie athletic build and small frame and the 0 fit perfectly. Highly recommend this one! 

So the dress did run a little large. I got a 2R which is my usual size and definitely could have gotten a 0R. Got the 4R as my backup size because I saw some reviews that said it ran small. I would say if you run smaller in the shoulders and chest area, go a size down. I had to pin the dress at the back so it would fit. That said, it was absolutely gorgeous, easy to move in, and bold, bold, bold! Great for a formal evening wedding.

I loved the fit of the dress.  Was slightly long for my 5'2" frame but didn't interfere with dancing all night long.  Nice stretchy material.

This dress is fitted but forgiving. I wore spanx to feel more comfortable but i wore my normal dress size. Easy to dance in & loved the color. Wore with short chunky heels.

I wore this as a bridesmaid to my sister's wedding. I received so many compliments on this gorgeous dress! The pictures do not do this dress justice.  The only issue I had was that the straps were a bit long, but I just used a little fashion tape to hold them in place (picked it up at CVS). 

This dress was great, I wore it to a black tie optional weddinn. I wore a 2L with 3-4inch heels, it was a tiny bit long but better than being short! Super comfortable and flattering fit. Would recomend. 

Three U.S. Marines voted I wear this dress to the ball when I asked their advice on dress options. I wanted a much prettier dress but RTR had none of my other selections available. But it was very classy and matched the Marines' dress blues. It was a bit big on my petite frame which was disappointing but I am very nitpicky when it comes to my dresses. It's a really fine dress. A bit darker in color than I would hoped or liked but suited its purpose. 

Dress fit pretty true to size. I normally wear a size 10 but the bottom was torn so they sent me a 12 long and it worked well for me.

I rented this gown as a backup. Loved the detail on the back side of dress. The front of the dress, around midsection kind of pouched the fabric and could have been more snug there. Still a pretty gown although I did not choose it for my event.

The dress runs large cause it has stretch. I ordered the 10l and 12l. The 10 fit but went with the 12 cause it was longer and didn't feel so stretched out. Couldn't wear a bra. 

I rented this for a formal wedding. I rented an 8 and 10. I'm not tall, but I'm glad I ordered an  8L after reading some reviews. My only qualm with this dress was that the dress kept "shifting" off center (but it could have just been from all the dancing). I had so many compliments about this dress and would definitely recommend it!!

I ordered a 4 but ended up wearing my backup size because the 4 was stretched out. The 6 was perfect and the length was much better. However, if you are wearing higher heels go with the long. I danced all night in this dress and never felt uncomfortable! I loved the open back detail!!

Overall it's a tight fitting, but flattering on the chest. I'm 5'10" and ordered the Long, but just be prepared to only wear 2" heels MAX...otherwise it'll be too short! 

I am 5ft 10 , 175 pounds.  I wear a size 36DD. I wore a 12L and it was a perfect fit with 2&1/2 inch heals. The material is very light and slightly stretchy so it's very forgiving. The plum color is very flattering and the dress hides flaws well. I recommend a low cut bra. A full coverage bra will show. You will need help putting it on. It would be tricky to put on by yourself. The rental and return process was super easy absolutely no effort at all! I got a ton of compliments on the dress and they were surprised when I told them I rented it. I will definitely rent gowns again!

I wore this to an Alzheimer's purple gala.
Perfect fit. The complements! Truly felt like a queen.
