Super comfortable to wear!!! A little long but with the right shoes, it was a huge success!!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered a 6L and a 4r, and the 4 fit great. A little big on top, but made it work. It was great for my masquerade black tie event.

Fit for a queen
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
It has been a while since I rented this dress but I still think about it. It is one of my favorites. I have rented 8L and 6L. Not much difference between the two sizes but 6L was a bit more fitted. I love the material! Length was perfect with 4 inch heels. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to take good or enough pictures of it. Yes, Marilyn would admire it and I wish that I could own it!

Grecian Goddess-like
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress for a black tie work dinner. It was such an amazing dress and I felt so beautiful in it. However, the dress does run a bit large, I could have definitely sized down. I also probably should have ordered the R length - I am 5'7" and wore 3" heels and the dress was still too long. You can't tell from the pics but the dress is actually bronze with little black stripes. Super gorgeous dress if you are looking to make a statement. I wish I had a better picture of the back but it is simply beautiful.

Grecian-inspired glam!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This gown is so gorgeous - I felt like a goddess in it! It feels and looks like you are wearing liquid gold. It does run a bit large though and the waist is elastic so I would definitely size down from your normal size.

Beautiful but HUGE!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress itself is just as pretty in person, but sadly it didn't fit. I rented this gown because I have a curvy frame and I thought this cut and style would definitely fit and be flattering… unfortunately it was WAY too big. I am between a 6 and 8. so I listened to the reviews and ordered the 6. It was literally hanging off of me and there was no way to make it work. I recommend sizing WAY down!

Frumpy, boxy, be careful
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
Fail! I rented this based on the picture of the model; I am tall and not very curvy, and it looks great on her. But I think RTR surely did some taping and adjusting to get it to fit their model like that. On me, the top billowed out to gape at the chest and was wide and boxy - unwearable. The waistline made it even more frumpy on my frame. Perhaps this is better fitted to a woman with true goddess curves. Also it is not "gold" but a kind of bronze-with-a-greenish hue, with black pinstriping. A slightly tricky color. I couldn't wear either size and it was $200+ down the drain, alas! (Couldn't find a backup dress that was avail for my dates either). I would love to know if RTR did a bit of stylist or photoshop magic to get their photograph... Be careful of this gown. Maybe dependent on your body type but it's borderline frumptastic.

Two people said I looked like a goddess!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
As many have said, this dress runs large. I am typical a six. The 4 fit well, though still slightly large on top. I felt great in this dress, and it's very easy to wear. I was a bit surprised at the quality of the lining, given the retail price of this dress, but the primary fabric and cut are gorgeous. I had a great night in this gown!

Not like the photo...
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I really wanted to like this dress, especially given the high rental price. You can't see in the photo, but it has small black pinstripes which make it a little more bronze than gold in person. While I was happy that it was less glitzy, I didn't care for the pinstripes. Also, the fit in the back is not like the photo in the model at all. Instead of fitting taught, it's very droopy in the back, in a not flattering way. I called Rent the Runway and they said that's how it fits. If that's the case, they should have photographed it on the model that way. It just wasn't flattering at all. I didn't wear it.

This dress was very comfortable and very flattering! Got a lot of compliments on it!
Size worn: 12L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
It ran large, I actually had ordered the smaller size but it felt a little bit shorter so I kept with the larger size. It is very flattering! I wore a sticky nu-bra with it and it worked great!
