I loved the dress, however one of the snaps on the back of the dress kept coming undone when I would sit down which was a aggravating because I had to keep going to the restroom to fix it. Overall the fit was great, I definitely would still wear it again. 

Great fit, super flattering on my arms. The material is great too, takes wrinkles well. Got so many compliments on how unique the dress is, love the back!! If only the snap in the back would stay put.Zipper has been tugged on too many times by other renters, making it difficult to zip all the way, which impacts whether or not the snap stays snapped.

I would describe my style as classic with an edge and this dress fit that description perfectly! I wore it to a benefit that I was volunteering for so I wanted to look professional but still maintain my signature style, so the conservative front paired with the low back fit the bill. I paired it with a leather tassel necklace and a funky cuff to make the look more modern, but you could make it equally Jackie O. with pearls. I found that it fit true to size- I went with my usual 0 and it fit wonderfully if a little loose- and appreciated that the ruching along the waistline prevented it from looking boxy. It was very comfortable to wear but as other reviewers have said, the snaps that hold the bustle in place would occasionally pop open if I sat or bent down. Certainly wasn't a deal breaker, though, as I'm already planning to rent this dress again for a fall wedding!

It definitely runs small but seemed to loosen up a little as the night went on. The zipper was hard to get up and the snaps didn't stay snapped but it wasn't noticeable. Overall would definitely recommend this dress it was the perfect mix of fun and class for a wedding. 

I usually wear a 2 or 4 in dresses, but since designer clothes tend to run a little smaller, I had planned to order a 4 and get 6 as a backup. Right before my delivery date I checked my order and realized I'd ordered a 2 as backup. Certain this wouldn't work, I called RTR. and they shipped a 6 overnight for a nominal cost. The stylist was awesome! Anyway, both the 4 and 6 fit well, but I went with the 6 for the sake of comfort and ease of movement. 
I agree with the other reviewers that the neckline is strange, but it didn't bother me at all and I think once you walk away from the mirror, it's not that big of a deal, kind of cool even. A statement necklace is a must though. I loved the cut and felt that it flattered me well, even though it was a little pouchy around the stomach.
I wore this to an awards dinner for my husband in Southern California where I didn't know anyone in advance so I wanted to look respectable, but stylish. This was the perfect dress! I got tons of complements and I even heard people commenting on it as I walked by (in a good way). 
My only complaint- and I noticed this in pictures on the website- is that the hem has a crease in it. In fact the whole dress needed some pressing, but the fabric resisted ironing (it's a stiff polyester). But this was not a deal killer. Just a note for the OCD.
Loved this dress! Wish I could keep it! Thanks Rent the Runway!

The dress fit really well...I got a 4 and 6 and went with the 4 because it hugged a little better. The fabric in the stomach was a little loose, which made for a few awkward photos. I loved the open back and the big bow but the dress wasn't as flattering on my body type as I would have hoped!

I read many reviews before deciding to rent this dress. The dress was everything I thought it would be; maybe even more. The back of the dress makes up for the very understated look in the front. The front of the dress definitely calls for a statement necklace. I wore it for a wedding and it was elegant and sexy without being over the top. The only reason I am not giving this dress 5 stars is because the two snaps at the back of the dress kept unsnapping every time I say down, which was quite annoying. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with RTR. Will definitely be renting again. 

This was my favorite rental! Beautiful back, rich shiny fabric, totally unique style that stood out. Half conservative half striking/risqué I couldn't have picked a more ME dress. Occasionally the snaps came undone when I sat down but I do have a really long torso I think that's why. I would order up for the backup size. 

Wore it for a bridesmaid dress, statement back! wedding was featured on wedding style blog http://www.stylemepretty.com/2012/05/31/la-jolla-wedding-at-la-valencia-hotel-by-jackie-wonders/#comment-462964 

I really wanted a dress that was formal without being floor-length, and this dress was perfect. It fit in all the right places, I never had to adjust or fuss with anything, and I was comfortable throughout the entire wedding (ceremony, dinner, dancing). I wish I could have kept it!

The dress was nice, but it def is not a show stopper.  The front is very plain so you you really need to wear a large statement necklace. And I usually always wear a 4 but I definately could have used a 6. It was kind of tight on my thighs and the fabric does not give at all. Also what you can't see from this picture is the dress is actually very short (well for me). The bustle is long but the dress was def. Mid thigh. Sorry I don't have a full length pictures. I got lots a compliments, but I prolly wouldn't rent it again. Prolly better for straigt and narrow shorter person.

You looked great in this. You are the perfect height for the dress. 

I recently wore this dress to a wedding this winter and I was not disappointed.  This dress was so beautiful! Very classy and elegant.  I paired it with a big chunky necklace, seeing as the neckline goes very high up.  I loved the open back because I felt that it was sexy without being too revealing! As for the fit, I thought it was true to size and it felt great. It was comfortable and I was able to be up and dancing the whole night! Would definitely recommend for a wedding or another formal affair! :)
