Great first rental for Christmas Eve!

I rented this dress for my first RTR experience. I am planning to rent for a more formal occasion and wanted to do a test run prior to that. Our family gets dressed up for Christmas Eve and this was the perfect dress for the evening. It fit true to size and arrived when expected. Great experience and can't wait for the next one!

Wore this dress to a masquerade ball, and was perfect for dancing! Loved the color (this photo doesn't do it justice) and overall fit. My only problem is that it looked a little too long for me so I kinda tucked it in from the bottom.

This was my very first RTR experience and I couldn't be happier! The dress was beautiful and in excellent shape. I bought very similar earrings to the ones that the model wore in the picture and got lots of compliments! Wore to a formal wedding and thought the length was very appropriate, but still attractive. Would highly recommend!

There is a little bit of stretch to the dress, so it's comfortable. The ruching makes it somewhat forgiving, but I think in this picture you can see how some angles aren't so flattering. The color is a beautiful, rich red. Overall, a very pretty dress. The length was about to the knee.

The dress fit perfect!! There is not much give to the dress but the 6 was perfect. I ordered the 6 and 8 but did not even try on the 8. I did wear spanx under and had to be careful when I sat or it would show, so I just hiked my spanks up a bit!! I got a lot of compliments and felt fantastic!! I wish I could keep this dress forever :) Will def rent again!!

I rented this for my husband's work event and it was perfect! The 8 fit snug in the armholes because I have a wide rib cage so I wore the 10. The tulle overlay is so pretty in person, though in photos it looks like I have a poochy tummy. However, it does hide any figure flaws! The color is a deeper red which is a head-turner but not bright red. I would definitely rent this again!

Two days before NYE I decided to rent a dress for a night out on the town. There were not a lot of dresses still available with the right amount of NYE flare. This little red number is a bit conservative (for NYE) for my taste, but work well in pinch.
It fit great! A back up size was not needed. I recieved lots of compliments on the color and fit of the dress. I'm naturally a curvely women, but this dress would give shape to anyone's booty. Another RTR winner!!

When I first tried it on without any accessories, I thought it was going to be a bit dull and grandma-ish, but after I put on some jewelry and heels I really felt hot. It's perfect for weddings, because it's classy (almost to the knee) but the color and fit make it really modern. I felt beautiful in this dress and had no problem with it.

RTR made us beautiful bridesmaids!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Four of us wore this dress as bridesmaids, and it fit and flattered all of us. The bride has great taste! The color was beautiful and photographed very well.
I have a pear shaped figure, so was a little worried that it would be too tight on the bottom. It was not, but actually the underarm area was a bit tight on me.
Thanks Rent the Runway, for the excellent customer service and a beautiful dress for a beautiful wedding!

Fit was pretty true to size, a little tight around the rib cage area for me, but other than that was great. the color was perfect for an October wedding. I usually wear a 2 or a 4. They didn't have a 4 available but the 2 fit fine. I would recommend!

Blood Red Was the Best!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
This dress was a curvy girl's best friend. It made me seem even more curvy than normal! So many compliments so little time. This was my back-up dress but once I tried it on I didn't even bother with the other. The red is much darker than the photo appears; it truly looks like a blood color. The ruching is extremely flattering in the middle section if you're at all self-conscious like I am. My only criticism and/or caution is the zipper in the back. I had to constantly readjust it as it kept moving off center and looked odd. I wore this to opening night at the opera and would definitely like to rent it again!

The fit was absolutely perfect! I ended up not wearing this dress because my husband thought that the red might not be right for the wedding. But I think it would've been fine. I had too many options but this dress was gorgeous with the sheer gathers that hid some sins. I'd wear with nude shoes to elongate the leg.

I rented two dresses for a wedding and didn’t originally intend on wearing this one to the ceremony. But, when it arrived it was so flattering I decided to nix my original plan and wear this dress. The dress is a beautiful color and the fabric has some stretch so it’s pretty forgiving. It’s very form fitting which balances nicely with the conservative neckline and hemline. I fell in love with this dress and wished I could have kept it! Highly recommend!

I rented this dress for a wedding where I did a reading during the ceremony, and I felt like it was perfect...it showed off my curves (or since I'm a stick who has no curves, showed off the curves that the ruching created) :), but was still classy and appropriate for getting up in front of everyone at a church wedding. Highly recommend!

I am 5'4 .. weighing in at 115-120lbs...34B bra size and pants size ranges from 0-4... I ordered this dress in Size 2 and it fit perfectly! The only complaint I have about this dress is that the zipper in the back is a little difficult to get up... Not because the dress is tight, but because the zipper is very stubborn... I would highly recommend this dress to someone who is going to a family wedding and needs to dress somewhat conservative but wants to show off curves...

Had a great time celebrating and dancing the with friends. The Maid of Honor said I was the "second-best dressed" at the wedding...besides the Bride, of course! :)
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This was the perfect dress for my friends' wedding! It was comfortable, and fit perfectly. It was classy, but sexy without being too tight or revealing.
I was worried that the fabric would be too heavy for a June wedding in the south after seeing that many people rented this dress during the holidays. But it was surprisingly light and comfortable, even in the 90+ degree weather!
The fit described on RTR was accurate. I was particularly happy with the length, because dresses that aren't petite sizes are often too long for my short legs but this dress was perfect.
I will definitely use RTR again, everything went smoothly. The stylists and customer service people were helpful and able to answer my questions.

This dress made my boyfriend say "damn, that butt!"
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size

Very comfortable, stretchy under layer with a runched over layer that gives a very forgiving fit. But, it has a seam up the back that will give you a very Kim Kardashian butt, which is great if that's what you're looking for but was a bit of a surprise. Super sexy, would be great for Valentine's day.

This dress was perfect for my anniversary date!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
I rented this dress for a date night with my boyfriend of four years -- and it was perfect! The sheer top layer ruching allowed me to wear a regular bra underneath, which was an extra plus. Even though I have a fairly straight figure, I had the appearance of curves. I only had two minor issues with it. First, the ruching occasionally covered up my necklace, which wasn't that big of a deal anyway, Second, the exposed zipper on the back made the dress pucker slightly above my not-so-pronounced butt, but a little tugging fixed that. I also appreciated the length reaching just above my knees, given that I'm 5'10. I highly recommend this dress.

I ended up not wearing it because my first choice was more what I was going for. I'd rent this dress again for a formal dinner or event but I wanted something a bit more fun for the wedding. This dress was longer than I expected, I'm 5"6 and it hit the tops of my knees. Also, the tulle overlay didn't stay rouched over my chest, most of it slipped down toward my stomach.

Cheap-looking mesh
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress looked so beautiful in the photos that I was really excited to try it on, but in reality the mesh material looks a little cheap to me (kind of like tulle on a tutu). Also, the color was a deeper red than the blood red that my computer monitor shows -- approaching burgundy. So overall it was not as nice as I expected. The size 10 was a bit too tight for my 40-35-40 body (zippable, but obviously tight) and it came a few inches above my knees (I'm 5'6"), so I would've needed a 12.

SIZE UP. i ordered an 8, but without having a 10 to try on i may even say a 12 could have fit okay.

I rented the dress to wear to a wedding. I loved the way it looked on it was just a little tight. I would probably have been more comfortable in a size 8 because I was limited on movement with my legs. I have a larger butt and thighs, so it hugged them and looked good, I just felt a little squished.

In an unfamiliar place, there's always RTR!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Meant for a New York, winter wedding (I'm a West Coaster), I needed a dress to show up at my hotel in another state - and it did! All the travel woes, worries over hairspray exploding, SPANX tights ripping, and the craziness of a family wedding made the bliss of ordering from RTR that much better! The dress arrived on time, ready to go, and fit perfectly.
The dress is most certainly fitted through the body with a small amount of give. SPANX gave the smooth look/feel that made the dress fit even more comfortably. Ruching allowed for minor "flaw" cover up and created a textured, exciting look on an otherwise simple dress. The hem hit at mid thigh and the bust felt a bit tight, but nothing too serious. Color is a bit deeper than pictured, like other reviewers have said, between traditional red and oxblood.
A long day into a night of ceremony, dancing, drinking, eating and various modes of transportation - the dress still held up beautifully.

This dress was a gorgeous color for a fair-skinned gal - not too bright of a red. The deeper tone definitely flattered my skin tone. However, if you're short it's a tad long. I didn't end up wearing the dress because it was a bit more formal than I wanted and I liked the other dress I rented better. But, it really is pretty, especially if you're tall!
