a bit larger in the front, had to use a safety pin, Comfy fit. Can dress it up or down. 

Super cute dress that's perfect for daytime party. Casual and comfortable fit. Would rent again

Fit true to size possibly a little big but the soft fabric drapes beautifully. The length was great, could wear with heels or flats.

Cute dress! Button at bust didn't want to stay hooked but cute 

Rented this for mother's day and it was pretty and easy to wear. Nothing too special, just a girly dress! 

This was great for my outdoor/farm wedding. I wanted something a little more casual, so I wore the dress with  cute flat sandals. The little clasp at the top is kind of in a weird spot (you can see it in the picture). If my chest area was any bigger it might not have worked out. Regardless, I loved the dress and got a ton of compliments. I am typically a size 6 and actually both the 4 and the 6 fit me. In the end I wore the 6. 

It seemed like a lot of fabric on top. I am a 32c and narrow on top though so that might have been part of it. Very pretty and comfortable though. Great for an outdoor party. 

I was a little nervous ordering up a size but was worried the chest wouldn't fit (32DDD). The 6 gave just enough room in the chest and since you can tie it around your waist I was able to get the dress to fit nicely for the most part (the material in back bulged a bit) overall it was so comfortable for a summer day, a little worn but I was aware of the wear and tear issues from previous posts. I would absolutely by this dress as a cute informal summer sun dress!  

Very comfortable. Great fit. Fabric is much more silky and thinner than pictured, and I found the color to be a little more orange in person. Loved wearing it. True to size. 

Fit well because of clasp in the front. Wore to a cocktail party for a wedding. Very comfortable and loose.

There is a lot I like about this dress.  The fabric is soft, wrinkle resistant and flowing and the color and pattern are very flattering.  I loved the braided straps!  The cut is nice if you want to hide a belly or a bump but it is not super flattering from the side view.  While the dress is true to size, I recommend getting a larger size than you would usually wear because you and cinch in the waist in the front.  The more you cinch it in, the better it fits on the breasts.  Like other reviewers I thought it bunched up oddly when you wear the right size for your waist.  Overall, the larger size had more flow and movement while dancing.  The con?, that ridiculous clasp that looks like a last minute addition without any thought about how it would look ON!  And yes, you do need to use a clasp or fashion tape while dancing.  I made that mistake and flashed half of the dance floor!  whoops.  The rest of the night I closed the clasp (you can see how silly it looks in the group photo) but I didn't have to worry anymore.  Overall I had a great night and would probably rent this one again now that I know how to wear it!

It was a little longer than I expected.  I did wear some fashion tape to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions.  I would wear a belt to accessorize it, if I wore it again.

I wore this dress for my college graduation. I was outside in a graduation gown for a few hours and this dress kept me cool! It is the perfect dress for warm weather. It does not require special undergarments. It's extremely comfortable!

The dress is really lightweight and flattering around the waist. I wore it for my dance recital and it was the perfect dress for the occasion. It's a little large around the bust, but was the perfect length and extremely comfortable.

I wore this dress to a client dinner in Orlando, so the color and flowing texture were perfect for the Florida weather. It ran a little big, so I opted for the 4 instead of my usual 6. I also wore a nude strapless bra, beige sandals and clutch. It shows just a hint of cleavage. I was happy with my choice. 

I wore this to a club formal. It fits great in the body and length but it's kind of awkward in the top with a larger bust. I recommend getting the clothing tape! Great dress, tons of compliments! 

So I never ended up wearing the dress, but I did snap a pic when I tried it on. Wish I got a close up of the top. I am 34DD and the top of the dress is no good. There is an issue with the eye hook, not sure if it's just my boobs or if the material is stretched or pulled too much. When I put it on, you can see the eye hook very obviously - no good. I tried using invisible tape to tape the top together, but it didn't look great. Otherwise super cute dress! I loved the material and the color, but I'd recommend it for smaller chested women.

I rented this dress to wear for the summer assignment given to this year's RTR interns. I filmed it with a fellow University of Missouri On Campus Rep (and Alpha Phi sister!) and had so much fun!

* PROS: Super comfy, light weight, perfect length so if the wind kicks up, you aren't showing anything!

* CONS: The fabric isn't very thick so if you're sweating, you will be able to tell. Haha the not so fun part of filming in 90+ degree weather!

My rent the runway experience was amazing as always. I was headed to a bachelorette weekend at the beach and we needed pink dresses for a night out. I rented three dresses and decided to go with this one. I really loved the dress, it was light, soft and totally appropriate. 

With that being said; I had to tie the straps in the back together. The chest area was really long and had a clasp in a weird place. If I buttoned the clasp in the middle of the bust it would have linked where my necklace sat, which is a very odd looking. I opted instead to tie the ties in the back together. This was a great dress, I would have never purchased it since the fit was really weird. [I imagine I am not the only one with this issue] It worked well for the night but I wouldn't rent again.  

Question! What kind of bra did you wear with this?

I'm curvy for my size, so I'm always worried about how dresses will fall on my bust and waist line, but ladies, I assure you, this is great for any size. Not only did it provide great coverage, but I felt great in it and it was sooo comfortable! I would definitely rent this again.

fit very well, ran a little big on top but i would definitely rent it again. great summer dress that isn't too fancy or overdressed 

Fits true to size. It was a little short, but looked great with espadrilles!

Loved this dress! Great fit and is adjustable at the waist. Can be dressed up or down!

So comfortable! (but if you have a chest don't forget the fashion tape!)

I rented this dress for a wedding in Mexico and it was perfect!  The ceremony and reception were outdoors so the lightness of the dress helped keep me cool even while dancing.  Also, the strings allow you to tighten the dress or loosen as needed, which was perfect for my hourglass figure.  I possibly could have worn a 4, but liked that the 6 allowed for a little more room when dancing.

I wore this to a baby shower *for a sweet little lady, of course ;-)

We'll start with fit.  The dress runs tts through the hips, but the top is extremely blouson, even more so than what's typical for me, anyway (I'm quite petite through the bust/waist).  Ties at the waist help to minimize this problem, but I did have to fuss with the top quite a bit to get it how I wanted it.  There is a hook-and-eye closure at the bust to help keep you modest- but it hit me a little too high to look "right."  I used a safety pin instead.  Straps are NOT adjustable, but oddly enough I didn't find this to be a big issue- just the occasional tug on the back of the skirt to keep those straps flat against my back.

The length was good on me (5'3", mid-thigh), so tall gals might proceed with caution.

The color is much brighter in person: more coral than baby pink.  It looks lovely on a tan, though.  

Overall, I like this dress a lot: it's comfortable, can be worn for many occasions, and fun to accessorize.  A great choice for summer.  

I rented this dress for my college senior formal. Great for the summer and very different from my friends' dresses! For me, it was quite loose on top, which I thought might look funny in pictures but it turned out looking fine. The pattern is not as subtle as it looks on the model. But I was definitely satisfied!
