Absolutely stunning!
Size worn: 0L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress for my senior prom, and couldn't be happier with it. I certainly felt I had the classiest dress in the entire room, but I may be a little biased! It was a bit on the long side (it looks very long in the photo because I had my 3" heels off), but otherwise it fit exactly according to the measurements. Beware that the bust is very small, but luckily that was exactly what I was looking for!

Great night, perfect for the Gala I attended.
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was my first rent the runway experience and it went well. I have recently had a baby...and am not my normal size. I ordered this dress thinking it would be loose in all the right places. It was. Many people stated that ti dress runs big, so I ordered an 8 and 10. I couldn't get the largest size zipped over my chest. The gala was Saturday and I got the dresses on Thursday night. I tried them on immediately. I contacted RTR customer service and they overnighted (i only had to pay for shipping) and I returned my two existing dresses. The 12R fit much better in the chest. I was so grateful that it arrive the morning of my event and was perfect for a Black Tie Gala. My only complaint is that I am 5'4" and the Regular was short in heels. As you can tell in the picture, you can see my shoes. I prefer floor length, but in this scenario...it was last minute and I was still happy with the look. The sizes of the 12R were floor length, just seems the front was a little short. Overall, very happy with my experience and I would rent again.

Felt comfortable and classy for a charity event.
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress is super comfortable. I will say, if your are short this is a great dress. If you are taller than 5'2" I would get the long. My shoes showed with three inch heels in the regular. I would also say if you are chesty make sure to order the size that will fit your bust, the rest of the dress is fairly loose. I loved this dress, and this was my first RTR experience, but it won't be the last. I felt fabulous all night!

This dress was awesome and everyone at my sorority formal complimented it. My only complaint is it ran a little short. I got the Regular but even being 5'4 I think a long would've been better if you're wearing heels. Fabric was nice but the boning did poke.

Very flowy and elegant!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. The fit was very flatte3ring and was great for a "less than perfect" figure. It is very flowy and feminine. I wore it to a black tie charity gala and it fit the occasion perfectly. If there weren't so many amazing choices offered by RTR I would consider renting it again. I am just barely 5'6", and decided to go with the 8 Long. I wore 4" heels and I have to say it was still a little on the long side (drug on the floor just a tiny bit) But I think this added to the overall effect and much preferred a little extra length over it being too short. It was difficult to zip on my own and at first led me to believe it was slightly too small. It turned out to just be3 a weird angle, and with a little help from hubby it zipped e3asily and fit like a glove.

A great formal dress for the Marines Ball!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress to the USMC Ball to celebrate the 237th birthday of the Marines. It was a great color and the fabric was nice. The dress fit just right! I'm 5 feet and I could walk barefoot with it just touching the ground. I did wear 2 inch heels and it still looked great. I got a lot of compliments throughout the evening.

I felt gorgeous with my date because of the flowy dress!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
i would give this dress 5 stars, but unfortunately RTR told me they had no more size 0R (when it was of course available when I added it to my cart 1 month before my event). 3 DAYS BEFORE MY EVENT! That made me realize always have a back up dress! so that was a bummer. Crossing my fingers, i hoped the 2R would work and thankfully it did! It was not a snug as i hoped but it was good enough for me. The 0R would have been perfect though. By the way, if you have small boobs, this dress is perfect. AND if you're kind of on the short side, this dress is even more perfect. I never thought i could pull of a long dress because of my height, but the measurements were perfect! i only had to wear 2 inch heels. I got so many compliments through out the night and although there was a lot of stress before prom due to the size incident, it turned out amazing.

My husband just returned home from a combat deployment to Afghanistan and I wore this dress to his battalion gala held in Las Vegas. It was perfect for the occasion!!

I rented this dress and the CARMEN MARC VALVO Lifetime Love Gown, but decided to wear this one for a Marine Corps ball in Vegas. The dress is more on the modest side, which was good for me. It is snug in the bust area (I'm only a 34B). It fit very well, but was still forgiving for an imperfect figure. I wore with short heels (2") and it was the perfect length.

I loved how the dress flowed, and many of my sisters told me how gorgeous the dress looked on me!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I was nervous about renting a dress online for my sorority's formal, but I was very pleased overall. I loved the one shoulder look and received a ton of compliments from my sisters! There were a couple of problems though. The dress was tight in the bust keeping me from being able to wear and bra, and it was hard to zip it by myself. Also, the stays in the back of the dress poked me all night. If the size 10L had been available for a backup size, I would have probably worn it instead. Overall, it's a great dress, and I will most likely rent again next year!

I rented this for my husband's company Christmas party, which is a very formal event each year. I absolutely loved it! It was really comfortable. Lingerie was critical -- strapless push-up bra and shaper for me -- to make it look good. It was flowy and gorgeous. Exactly floor length on me at 5-2" with flats on.

I wore this dress for a deb ball and it was lovely. It was very appropriate, but still looked great. The long is super long! I am tall and would have had to wear 3+ inch heels to get it off the ground. I ended up wearing the regular with smaller heels.

This is a beautiful dress, but it definitely wasn't the dress for me. It was tight in the chest area yet too loose everywhere else, making me look like I had absolutely no figure at all.

This is a beautiful dress, but I didn't end up wearing this. It was my backup dress to the Nicole Miller Forget-Me-Not dress. While the Nicole Miller 4L was way big, I couldn't even zip this dress!! It was way too small. I didn't get to wear it, but it is beautiful- loved the fabric and the color. The length is also short. The 4L would have barely covered my 4inch heels.

This dress arrived Thursday before my Saturday event. It didn't fit. I didn't order 2 sizes because the stylist said based on my measurements the 8 would fit and they didn't have a 6 available for the date anyway. So.. What was I to do??? I called first thing Friday morning and a WONDERFUL woman helped me find another gown and sent me 2 sizes of it, overnight! They totally took care of me and my Saturday event was saved! Thanks again RTR! I normally wear a 6 or 8, but when I order this dress again, I will get a 10 now that I know it runs small.

LOVE your site! The dress I was sent was a very pretty dress and of nice quality. I went to a Mardi Gras Ball and the requirement was the dress to be floor length.Since they are so strict I could not even wear flats to meet the requirement. Unfortunately, I was not able to wear the dress but I did not verify the length when I ordered so I feel this was my fault. I had a personal back up dress so it was not a problem. I will certainly order a dress again and be careful to check length. I did not wear the dress so I could not provide a picture. sorry

I wore it for my squad's banquet, which is super formal (the guys were tuxes). I got compliments about the dress all night and even after the event. It was comfortable to wear and hid any imperfections. And seriously - rent it and have someone take a picture as you twirl around - the skirt floats so gently!

This was my backup dress, and I really thought from the reviews that it would fit. The 2r did fit my pear shaped body very well at the top (34a) which was great, however per the other reviews, it does run very short! I'm 5'5" and without shoes this dress was at least 2 inches too short. That's never a problem for me, so I was very surprised! Thankfully i got a perfect fit in my other dress, so overall RTR was a huge success for me. This is a beautiful dress and a great choice if you are very petite!

Im glad I received a free 2nd dress with my first rental. I originally ordered a size 2 but to be on the safe side i got a 0 too. I tried on the 0 first and it fit. Thank goodness for the second dress. The size 2 probabaly would've been big. But i dont know because i didnt bother trying it on. While everyone wore a mermaid dress i was the only one w a one shoulder dress. Dress is comfortable.

I rented this as one of my two choices for a family wedding. I just had two babies back to back and am still a little soft around the middle so I was looking for a style that would be forgiving of my midsection. I normally wear a 10 or 12, and I rented the 12L. I am a 36C and I could BARELY zip the dress over my chest. You definitely need to go up a size. (My sister in law rented a dress by the same designer and had the same problem) The dress is beautiful, but after wearing maternity clothes for on and off for 3 years, I am tired of the empire wasted dresses. Nicely made and a very pretty color, just not the dress for me.

I had originally ordered a different dress but it didn't fit. I called RTR, it was Friday almost end of day and I was on PT. My worse nightmare came true and here I was last minute. Of course my internet in the hotel wouldn't work so I had to call and just try to pick another dress from memory and the wonderful help and advice from the RTR staff. I actually own this dress in black so I played it safe and ordered this one knowing it would fit. It was delivered on time and had no issues with my order. The dress was super comfy and just fit in length so I was able to wear flats. Being 6 ft that was fine with me : ) I had a baby 5 months ago so it was a forgiving dress. Thanks to RTR for making it so easy and for being so helpful. I will definitely order again.

I needed a dress to host a show sign the theme of the "academy awards" and this was PERFECT! It was a little long for me in length because I couldn't wear the heels I wanted to, but everything else fit like a glove. It's a close fit around the rib cage so make sureto size up.

After I read the reviews, I was a little skeptical but this dress was perfect for the formal I went to! I usually wear a 2 or a 4 and the 4 fit me great so I think it is very true to size! The only negatives I can think of are that dress isn't very form fitting and it wasn't long enough for me to wear heels and i'm 5"4 and got regular length, but other then that is was beautiful!
