:)

I usually range from a size 10-12 based on how dresses hit in the hip area. This dress ran large on top so I am GLAD I read the reviews and ordered a size down! Ended up wearing an 8 and it fit great! Absolutely LOVED the dress (especially because it had pockets!!). Wore for an outdoor wedding and received MANY compliments! :) Bright colors and lovely style!

It looks even better in person!

The colors are bold and summery. It was the perfect dress to wear as a guest to a June wedding. It fit nicely and the length was perfect for my height. I received many compliments! I would definitely rent this one again!

The dress was so cute and fun! Lots of compliments. Loved the pockets in it.

It was perfect in the chest, I actually didn't need to wear a bra but I did. It was very comfortable felt great all night.

Adorable dress

The dress is super cute, flattering, and stays up. The only negatives are the boning pokes into your stomach when sitting so gets quite uncomfortable when sitting too long. Also because of the way the lining latches in the back (to help keep it up), it is nearly impossible to put on yourself--you need an assistant. All that said, it looks so good on, I would rent it again without hesitation.

Bright and Flattering!

Absolutely loved this dress for a Kentucky Derby party. It's bright and the A-line rule makes your waist look oh-so-tiny. As others mention, the bust is a little large, even for this 32D girl. But it didn't gap noticeably. It was about as short as I would go for a short girl, so tall girls beware!

Perfect Kentucky Derby party dress!

I usually wear a 4 and I was hesitant to even get the 2 as my second size but after reading the reviews I got a 4 and 2. The 4 was too big in the chest area and the 2 fit perfect. I'm a 34B. I got so many compliments on this dress and I love that it had pockets! Fun, flirty dress!

Pretty sweetheart neckline

This was a perfect date night dress. It's comfortable, flattering, and has pockets! I enjoyed it. It wasn't too long or too short on me (I'm 5'5") and it was just an easy breezy well-fitting dress of nice quality for a perfect night out with my honey.

This bright and lightweight dress was perfect for an outdoor southern wedding in May.

The dress was super comfortable and I loved the pockets. It was a great length for any type of party. Not too short! It was a super flattering dress as well. I wish I had the 2 instead of the 4 because I'm small chested and needed to wear a bra to keep this dress up while dancing. It just was slightly big in the top area which you don't want in a strapless dress. I would recommend going a size down if you have a small chest so it fits snuggly. Overall I loved wearing the dress and would wear it again! Great summer dress!

Fun, Flirty Dress

I absolutely loved the pockets on this dress!! I wore this for a "after-wedding" party for guests that couldn't make the trip to our actually wedding. The dress was super comfortable, light and I didn't want to return it. The pops of color and the pockets were so great! I would definitely rent this dress again for the summer.

I loved that I received it early so I had time to choose shoes and accessories.

I loved this dress mainly because it has pockets and first require wearing a bra! It ran true to size, hit about 4 inches above the knee. The color are vibrant and the cut vary flattering.

Great dress for outdoor wedding!

This was my replacement dress, it's adorable and super comfortable. We wore a 4 and it was perfect. I loved the pockets. I'm 5'5" and it's on the shorter side. The colors are vibrant and can be dresses up or down with heels or flats. Great dress! I highly recommend.

Super adorable dress in bright colors! Perfect fit!

I wore this to wine tasting for my bachelorette. I usually wear a 4, but the 2 fit me perfectly. The structure in the top of the dress hugs your chest well, and the fit and flare of the skirt is flattering, plus the dress has pockets! The only time I was uncomfortable in the dress was when I was sitting in the car for a while, then the bodice got a bit tight. But that corset wiring in there really sucks you in! Loved this dress, got so many compliments. I wish I could buy it!

Flattering summer dress!

Fits true to size. I ended up wearing the size 2. It's a nice material and was supportive/thick enough to not wear a bra. It's a great daytime or summer dress for any wedding shower or party.

So colorful and fun- exactly what I wanted for an outdoor wedding.

The colors are vibrant and bold, but that worked for me as I was wearing this to an Indian outdoor wedding. The fit was great- I have a smaller bust so the zero fit perfectly. I love that the dress has boning because that helped the top stay up the whole night. Except when dancing with my arms raised- then I had to adjust a bit but otherwise I didn't have to pull up the dress like I normally would with tube tops. The skirt is full, maybe a little fuller than I would have wanted because I'm so short but it was still really cute. And it had pockets. Who doesn't love pockets?! I wouldn't hesitate to rent this one again for another outdoor event.

Perfect dress for a summer wedding.

Fit was true to size - most of my clothes are a size 6 (4 or 8 on occasion depending on the store). Dress was very comfortable and was perfect for the outdoor barn wedding I attended. The material is a little heavier than I expected it to be which made it a bit warm to wear, but otherwise it was a great dress and perfect fit. It also has pockets which I loved!

Fun, flirty dress!

First, I have to admit that this dress is not my usual style. However, I needed a pink dress for the Kentucky Oaks race, and this one had great reviews. I was VERY happy with this rental. It was flirty and fun without being too childish. It was also very comfortable and supportive in the right spots. I am a little top-heavy, so I was worried the dress might accentuate that too much. But the fit/shape of this dress was beautiful. I would definitely rent this designer again! I did feel that it ran a little larger, but not by too much.

Fun summery dress

Wore this dress to a casual outdoor picnic-type wedding. Worried that I would feel overdressed, but it's so bright and summer that it worked well. I also think it could work for more formal events. The fit was just a little loose in the waist area, but comfortable enough to wear. Did not need to wear a bra. Really beautiful fabric and pattern.

Beautiful packaged and the dress was in good condition

The size 4 was tight around my waist ( I gave birth 2 and a half months ago) so I ended up wearing the size 6. Dress is very pretty but it will look better on a super skinny person. Not bad for my first rental !!

Wonderful!

I ordered the 4 and 6 and wish I had ordered the 2 and 4 instead. I had to safety pin it in the back to ensure that it wouldn't slip during the night. Other than that, I really liked the dress! I received several compliments and really liked the colors. I wore it to a late June wedding held outside and it wasn't too heavy and didn't show sweat. Overall, I would recommend it!

Love love love this dress!

Pretty! I wish I had more summer events to wear it to. I wore it to a daytime party at a golf club. I am petite so it is hard to find dresses that don't need to be shortened, but this worked for me. If I owned it I would have shortened it, but it worked at an inch or 2 above my knees. Very easy to wear. It stayed up without taping it to my body and the pockets are really convenient. I loved this dress and got tons of complements.

Love, love, loved this dress!

This dress is super comfortable (and even has pockets)! It is formal enough for a wedding while still being colorful and fun. It can definitely be dressed up with the right jewelry, but I opted for a more casual look for an outdoor wedding. It ran a little large, but I ordered a 0 since I had read that in the reviews and it fit perfectly. I had ordered a different dress originally and it was too big, so RTR was amazing and sent this dress to the location of the wedding so it was waiting at the front desk when I arrived. Thanks, Rent the Runway!

It has a built in corset so you look seamless but it is annoying when you sit. It also has pockets which is amazing! I loved the dress and wish I owned it.

Made it hard to decide which one to wear!

I rented this as a back up choice to wear to my friend wedding. It got so nice and the print was so fun it made it really hard to decide which one to wear! It ended up being an outside wedding at night so I went with a warmer option but I will definitely rent this again. The fit was awesome. I was worried the bust would be too small but it fit great. I felt very comfortable and covered and had enough room to wear a strapless bra. There's a belt thing on the inside you can wear too the helps make it fit perfect. The fabric is thick and so soft feeling. One of the only downsides was I thought it looked a little bridesmaid-y looking but not enough to stop me from renting this again.

Got lots of compliments, beware the inner corseting

The dress looks great in person, someone stopped me on a street corner to demand to know where she could get it. It's great for spring. I ordered a 6 and 8 and both fit fine, though the 6 was more flattering. A warning though, the inner corset thing is no joke. I fastened the inner bit then couldn't get it off without someone's help. I don't really think you need to fasten the inner strap. The dress isn't the most comfortable if you have to be sitting because the boning will hit you in the waist.

I wore this dress for a Kentucky Derby party

This dress was perfect for an afternoon occasion. The fit is great (structured on top and you can wear with a bra or not). I rented the 6 but wore the 4 because the bottom is roomy. I loved the pockets too! The colors are bright and cheery in person (pink, purple, red etc.) I also rented the big purple, jeweled ring. Got compliments. This is an easy to wear dress and the rental is cheaper than buying a new one for your shower or party.

Everything about this dress was perfect!

I wore this dress to a spring wedding and can't say enough great things about it. The dress is super flattering, especially for an hourglass figure like mine. It has pockets, a nice fitted midsection and top, and a beautiful pattern. I think Shoshanna is my new dress brand.

Great dress for a fraternity formal!

The fit was perfect. I'm normally between a size 2 and 4, and decided to go with the 2! The 4 was a bit bigger in the chest, but the 2 was tight in all of the right places. The hidden pockets were clutch for hiding my phone and hair tie during pictures and dancing! I thought the print looked a bit immature/little girlish in the picture, but it looked much more sophisticated in person. There was a wide range of attire from long formal dresses to short cocktail dresses, and I felt as if this dress was appropriate!
