 I loved the detailing on throughout the dress and the slightly flowy bottom was a nice contrast to the metal on the top.  Not too short and super comfortable all day.  Would recommend!

I wore this dress to an US Weekly Hot Hollywood party and it was simply perfect.  Not only did I feel amazing, I even had stars asking me where my dress was from.  One or two of the embellishments on the top were falling off when I received it, but nothing a little two-sided tape couldn't handle.

Great fit, wore a regular bra, add a bit of color with a big green ring!  I want to own this dress!!!   

I've been renting from RTR from the moment they opened up shop and this dress has to be my favorite dress I've ever rented over the years. This color isn't available anymore (I wish it were because I'd rent it again!) but the black version is still available which I'd highly recommend. Both the 2 and 4 fit me comfortably but I ended up going with the 2. If you're unsure about renting this dress (the black one that's still available) DO IT!

I ordered a 2 and a 4.  The 2 fit my body but the 4 was a better length.  I wore this to a wedding rehearsal.  

The dress was great!  I loved the fit and it was true to size.  I am usually a 2 and the 2 fit perfectly.  Everyone thought it was fun for the occasion and I received many compliments.  The experience was so good that I am going to rent a dress for a wedding in August.

The beading was in really good shape, and the skirt was very flattering and fun. Really liked this dress a lot and would definitely rent it again! 

I am small chested, small waisted and wider hips.  This dress fit my figure very well.  WIth the band in the middle it highlighted my waist.  Due to my small chest it was a little loose, but I am barely a 32B.  I would recommend this dress to anyone!

This was my first RTR experience and it was perfect! I was attending a fashion show for Nicole Richie and was nervous I wouldn't have anything to wear that would match up to all the other girls there, so my friend recommended Rent The Runway. The dresses came on time and the size 2 fit extremely well. The dress is a little snug around the waist, but nothing a pair of Spanx can't help. I got a lot of compliments on the dress and really felt like I fit in with all the fashionistas  there, definitely not something I could normally do on an intern/waitress budget! I will definitely be using RTR again!  

Great dress that is unique in color and look. I would wear this again.

Runs small. I wore 1 size up. The skirt part of the dress has no stretch so fits tight to the hip.  The top of the dress was slightly big, since normally I'm a size smaller.  Overall dress fit well going 1 size up and was really fun and different.

I wore this dress out for my birthday in February.  I paired it with black tights and a black blazer because it's freezing in Chicago in the winter time.  I got so many compliments, definitely recommend the dress!

Dress runs small - particularly in the yellow skirt. Would size up. If you are looking for something a bit more dressy, this is not the dress for you. Originally purchased to wear out to dinner, but it is more of a daytime dress in my opinion.

Pretty true to size.  A tad tight in the rib cage but I am a straighter figure than most.  This was my first rental and the beginning of an addiction!

I LOVED this dress. I loved the balance and look of the yellow flirty bottom with the heavier funky beading on the top. The beading was sturdy and looked quality. This dress is the perfect mix of bright feminine with a little bit of a darker unique edge. The size 2 wasn't available but the 4 fit just fine, was maybe slightly looser than I would have liked but it wasn't  problem. The length was also perfect for me. Didn't want to return it!

I got the 8 and 10 and they fit nearly the same but the 8 seemed to fit best. Great color and flattering shape. Everyone loved it! 

I originally ordered a 2 and it was a bit tight around my hips. I called RTR and they overnighted me the 4 to have in time for the event (you just pay for the shipping). So easy! I wore this edgy-chic stunner on my birthday to a museum party, and it was perfect. A couple of beads were loose or missing from one side, but no one could tell. Plenty of room in the chest for busty ladies.

I absolutely love how the yellow contrasts with the top! such a unique dress! And so eye catching! It was perfect for my 30th! The sz 6 fit better up top, but I went with the sz 8 because I was already self-concious about how short the dress is. That is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5... because I would have like better if not quite so short. And as before, customer service was outstanding!! P.S./FYI (went with bigger sizes because I still had some baby weight on!

Beautiful dress!  The top gives it an edgy feel while the bright yellow really makes it stand out!  The bottom has absolutely no give so if you are bigger on the bottom half, size up!

Wore this for my Bachelorette party and received tons of compliments all night long. Fit is definitely snugger in the bottom (no stretch) and a little looser up top. The size up wasn't available, but I imagine it would have been more comfortable in the skirt but too large on top.

Really fun dress for bachelorette party. I loved the top and the skirt is a fantastic pop of color. Lots of compliments but I must warn to fellow tall girls that it is very short. I stood most of the night but when I sat I did feel like I needed additional coverage. Good experience overall!! 

This dress was truly stunning. The beadwork was in perfect condition, and the color of the skirt looked exactly how it did online. There was a slight tear in one of the skirt ruffles when I received the dress, but you were not able to tell. The 8 fit me thru the waist and bottom nicely, but the top was a bit big (I wear a B cup). 

I loved this dress; I thought the mixture of feminine and tough was really unique and the cut was a nice change from the one shoulder dresses I usually wear. The fit is a little off; it runs on the large side on top but the waist band is pretty tight. I wanted to be be comfortable so I thought about using my back up size (2) but ended up sticking with the 0 so it wouldn't be too loose up top.  It seemed to stretch slightly throughout the night and was actually pretty comfortable.  

I rented this for an evening wedding. It was perfect and I had people coming up to me all night asking where I got it...I could never give away my secret though!  It was true to size and the fabric has some give which is great. The yellow skirt really makes a pop and is super flattering.

Being new to RTR, I wanted to opt for a dress that got a lot of good ratings, increasing my chances of me liking and looking good in it, so I went with this eye-catching Sachin + Babi number. 

Definitely runs small.

Trying on the 4 was too tight THANKFULLY, because the size 4 dress I received was FRAYING at some parts on the yellow skirt, making me question the whole dress-renting experience. Obviously, people have worn this dress previous to my own rental, but what company has the audacity to send a dress that is literally falling apart at the seams? 

The size 6 however, was in MUCH better condition, gently used. Very appropriate for a summer day-time wedding! I don't make a habit out of wearing yellow, so this piece is a nice step out of the box if you want to try something different! 

I wore this to a bachelorette party and ended the night at Lollapolooza (where I felt like I fit in with the artists!).  Very cute.  Like other reviewers, I felt like the rib cage area (around the black band) was really tight but the top area was loose.  

The color was fun and the dress was unique. It fit a little tight through the hips but it became more comfortable as the day went on! This is my favorite rental so far!

This was such a fun dress!  Very fitted in the lower half so I'd say it's true to size or go up one. 

Loved this dress - bright fun bottom with the gorgeous sequin top - all one piece. I received so many compliments on this dress the entire night!

I wore this dress to a summer wedding and it was definitely a stand out! Tons of sparkle and super easy to dance in. I found that this dress ran a bit small in the hips/waist and a little larger in the bust but it still fit well and I thought it was gorgeous!

This dress was 1. absolutely gorgeous, 2. totally different and 3. absolutely gorgeous. I wore this this past weekend for an outdoor wedding. Everyone commented on how different and fun the dress was. I felt so great in it as well. I hope I have another occasion to rent this dress for in the future!

Perfect dress for a summer wedding! So colorful and fun! The size was perfect and I'm sad to send it back

Absolutely loved the dress, worked perfectly for my going away party and my friends kept commenting how stunning it was on, perfect for a summer evening or bachelorette party.  The 8 felt more stretched out and loose than the 10 so I went with wearing that, but the top definitely runs a little big, since it has the metallics and beads to weigh it down.  I will definitely be renting again, such a simple process and great looks to go for!

I got so many compliments on this dress! So fun and very comfortable! The fabric of the skirt has little give, so if you have a booty consider going a size up! 

I loved this dress the second I saw it added onto RTR. I attended a Friday night wedding last weekend & it was PERFECT. I ordered the 2 & 4. The 2 was a little bit constricting & the 4 was a little bit loose, but I went with the 4 for comfort. I got so, so many compliments all night on the dress. The fabric and details are stunning & it photographed so beautifully. The yellow color was a really fun way to add a special extra flair. 

I wore this dress for my 10 year class reunion. What a total hit. The dress is amazing. Great “bling” on top and a cute, flirty bottom. I wore with metallic strappy shoes. The dress is tight across the hips & behind. I typically wear an 8 and though I could get it zipped it was just too tight for dancing all night. The 10 was a tad big on top and if you have a larger waist, like me, the band across the middle section is tight. Slip on some SPANX and this should help. Great, show stopping dress! Thank RTR

The dress fit beautifully and was very slimming.  It was a nice length on me but I'm 5'3" maybe short on taller girls.  Got lots of compliments, and will be renting again!! 

I ordered a 6 & 8. The 6 was bit snug on the bottom so I went with the 8. I had to use some fabric tape (that RTR sent as a sample) on the sides of my bra because the top was a little awkward without it. That is my only complaint about this dress. It was gorgeous and unique and received many compliments.

I knew I would love this dress just from all the great reviews by others.  It is just such a unique dress that commands attention at an event.  I recieved many compliments at the wedding and from others who saw pictures from the wedding.  Highly recommend!

I got this dress for my bachelorette party and loved it.  I'm usually a 4 or a 6 in dresses so I would say this was pretty true to size.  The 4 was a little tight in the chest and hips.
