I loved this dress and would absolutely rent it again. I received compliment after compliment all day long. I only wish I had more pictures taken in this dress. It did reveal a lot of cleavage, but I wore my hair down, and I felt more comfortable at a casual daytime event rather than at the wedding the night before. I seriously loved everything about this dress!

Amazing color for a summer wedding!  I found the dress very comfortable.  Keep in mind that it is a thicker fabric.  Love the pockets!!


I wore this dress for a summer wedding.  It was comfortable and looked great all day/night long!  I wore it without a bra and loved the fit.  

It looks much better in person than on the website. I had it pressed so it would not be so full. I usually wear a size 4/6 dress, bust size 34Cand this dress fit me in size 8. Love it!

I loved this dress. It was a back up and was my last hope for the event. It arrived and fit perfectly. I could wear a bra which was a plus. Has great pockets, too.  I got so many positive comments and it photographed very nicely. 

I absolutely loved this dress! The color is really vibrant, the fit was flattering, the full skirt was so much fun, and it was perfect for the August wedding I attended. The fabric was beautifully rich, but that also meant it was really warm. With the tulle underneath the skirt I was pretty hot during the outdoor summer ceremony. The neckline is definitely plunging! I was able to wear a regular bra and I decided that I was alright with a lot of cleavage, but I would recommend a size up or choosing another style if you felt like you needed to be more conservative. I would definitely recommend this dress and hope to rent it again!

I felt so sexy in this dress! The neckline was gorgeous! The fabric was wrinkly, but looked so awesome. I got tons of compliments. 

Dress for try to size. I ended up ironing the skirt since it looked a little too crumpled when it arrived. It has some poof to the skirt and the pockets were quite handy!
Many compliments!

Great color, great fit, great style, great price! I couldn't have asked for more with this dress.  
My girlfriend told me, "It was the Best dress at the wedding!"  
I wore the Kate Spade, Clink Clink Statement Necklace that was shown in the model photo and it truly added to the whole look.  I would recommend choosing that piece if it is in your budget! You do not need anything more because the dress, which fit modestly and comfortably, with the necklace completes the look. I already owned a gold purse and gold shoes that blended well! 
A few things to note about this dress is that the zipper is a little tricky to zip up because the waist fabric is cinched and can get caught.  You have to be careful and have someone help you zip, to avoid damaging the dress. 
Also, the dress fabric is crinkled.  That is how it is designed.  However, I did have my dry cleaner steam press the dress and it laid more flat. (only $12)  You can press it yourself, too.  The underlay of the dress is tulle and can get bunched up if not pressed.  You may need to size up if you are busty!  I am not, so the size 4 fit perfect. 
None of the above discouraged me from feeling disappointed with this rental.  I loved the whole look! 

I'm 5'5", 36C bust and the 8 fit great.  I wore it without a bra and probably should have use fashion tape, but it was still fine.  When I first tried it on, I felt like it was way too poofy, but the next day (after it had been hung up and I discovered the pockets) I was in love.  I got a ton of compliments on this dress and it ended up being just perfect for the semi-formal fundraiser we attended.  It is much more vibrant than the model picture.

Great color, great fit, very comfortable. Loved the pockets for storing phone and lip gloss.  The dress held its shape, but wasn't too heavy.  Was perfect for an outdoor wedding, sunny and 75.  The necklace was a perfect compliment to the dress.  Only wish I had more photos!

At first i was worried about the bottom being "poofy" but i quickly fell in love with this dress. I have 5 weddings to attend this year and i plan on using RTR for all of them!!

I love this dress and wish I owned it in every color! This dress was meant to  arrive Friday and I checked the shipping and there was a delay. Shipping was listed for Monday and the event was Saturday. RTR stepped up as usual and had this dress shipped next day delivery for Saturday. It fit like a glove and was so flattering! The color looked gorgeous with my skin tone. 

The fit is true to size, I LOVED the pockets (especially at a wedding), and is comfortable to wear. Some fashion tape maybe needed in the bust area and make sure you have a bra that won't show. 

It fit very well to my body type, which is hard to do. Great for a spring/summer wedding. I would highly recommend!

Dress fit snug but not necessarily small however I wouldn't recommend it to a woman with a large chest unless you are A-Okay with being on display. :) I am usually a 10/12 but everything I've rented I've always chosen the size 12 and definitely can't order a dress that runs small. 

I rented this for an outdoor wedding & it was perfect. I loved the color, and the shape was very flattering. Because it's a heavier fabric & has such a full skirt, it definitely needed to be ironed when I got it, so make sure you'll have time to do that.

I rented both the 8 and 6 and both fit very similar. I went with the smaller size just so the top would fit a little better. Very full skirt so be prepared. Overall loved the fabric and was very comfortable. 

Wore this dress to a destination beach wedding this past weekend and it was INCREDIBLE!  Received tons of compliments!  I would say that the dress is pretty much true to size.  I normally wear a 10, but wore an 8 for this wedding.  I have a much smaller upper body, so I was able to size down.  I would definitely recommend for the pear shaped body, very very flattering!

Dress was perfect for the occasion and the color complimented my skin tone for sunny outdoor event.  Nothing else worn like it which made my hosting duties effortless.  Dress ran smaller around waist and chest area...had to go a size up than normal.  Suggest to order days before & let hang out and/or steam dress due to tulle under lining of dress makes it flair out a bit much; therefore can give visual of wide hips and bigger booty.  Loved the side hidden pockets! Wish I would have selected better jewelry to compliment it...a nice, fun necklace is needed. Overall, pleased:-) 

You can, maybe if you size up, especially if you're a bit bigger chested. I didn't wear one, the material is thick enough. 

I'm a sucker for dresses with pockets, so that made this dress much more fun to wear. I'd say that it's more for a daytime event, or perhaps a wedding. It's very Spring-y, and has a lot of bounce. Perfect for that girly girl! One thing, it does run small and is a bit tight at the chest. 

I read in other reviews that this was a good summer wedding dress, but when I took it out of the box my first reaction was that it felt like a quilt!  It is very thick and has three layers on the bottom so it's not exactly lightweight.  I have a pretty straight and narrow frame, and it ended up making me look pretty boxy.  I think it would be really flattering on someone hourglass or maybe pear shaped, but on me I just looked wide because of all the fabric.  The skirt is also VERY poofy (even more than in the photos), which I expected but as my bf said it was kind of like Alice in Wonderland, and I felt just too ridiculous in this dress to wear it.  What a shame!  The material is very nice...it just wasn't for me. Also, I couldn't zip up the dress in my normal size, so I would suggest ordering a size up!  I really wanted to like it enough to wear it, but all the friends I asked essentially said they thought it was okay but not great.  

This dress is super cute, flattering fun, & bold for me. More cleavage than expected. Was able to go without a bra. Perfect length - not too short, not too long. Wore w/ nude heels. Zipper was horrible. Broke when taking it off because it literally would not move even with other people helping. Was even a struggle to get the zipper up before the party. I only gave it a 3 because of the zipper & the maneuvering required to take it off. Otherwise, great dress.

Usually wear a 0 but went with a 2 because I wanted to err on the conservative side, especially as this shows a good deal of cleavage. Was perfect for a summer wedding and it was comfortable. 

This dress was gorgeous on. It was incredibly comfortable. I was the bride's personal attendant, so the pockets were AWESOME! I got lots of compliments on how great my cleavage looked too. 

I wish I could advise everyone to Rent The Runway. I loved the dress, it got tons of compliments and I felt beautiful. However this was not the dress I ordered. RTR did not notify that my original dress wasn't available to ship until the day my dress was due to arrive. I would have been less frazzled if I got a notification or an option to order a new dress but instead they just shipped me something else. It worked fine for me but I'd be afraid it wouldn't work that well for someone else! 

Pros- Fit and flare design was super flattering. Dress was well made, crisp and elegant, for my daytime formal event in Hawaii. Dress is low cut, but I am tall and curvy so it worked for my body type. 

Cons-Had to hold the dress down with even light breezes, and it was a very thick fabric, so it was hot and didn't breathe in the humid hawaii weather. 

Overall, had so many compliments on this dress, people told me I had to buy it and keep it because it was so lovely. I wore it all day, and to a fancy dinner after, it was absolutely a great choice.

This dress is gorgeous! I got so many compliments! I love that it has pockets (which was wonderful for storing my lipstick and ID). The fabric is thick, but not heavy and just felt wonderful. I chose not to wear a bra with it, but the fabric is think enough that despite the rain and chilly night, everything was covered and secured. It hit about knee length on me. I LOVED wearing this and would definitely buy it, given the opportunity!

Rented as a maid of honor dress for my best friend's wedding.  I loved this dress and wanted to keep it.  The fabric was stiff but not uncomfortable, and the style gave me room to enjoy the taco buffet and wedding cake.  It was in the 60's that day and I was comfortable.

The dress was beautiful and summery in person and photographed well and colorfully.  Would definitely rent again!

fit great, did not need a bra, fun party dress great color

This dress looked less appealing online, but once I tried it on at the store I was impressed by the fit and style. It's a bit snug around the rib cage, but that also gave great lift. If you're busty too much cleavage might be a problem. The bottom has tulle below adding a fun poof at the bottom. The fabric was way nicer in person. 

I rented this for a friend's rustic barn wedding and it was very pretty and venue-appropriate. It was a little longer than I expected and arrived slightly creased in places, but a quick touch-up with an iron fixed that. It's very snug through the waist but that's just the style. It was a gorgeous material, heavy enough to seem special, but still bright and summery. It wasn't my favorite because I  felt that it would have been more flattering on me if it were shorter, but it was still a great rental and easy to dance in.

I wore this dress to a fundraising event. The fit was true to size. I'm between a 6 and an 8. I choose the 6 so it wouldn't gap in the chest. It's a little difficult to zip like most dresses fitted this way, but once zipped, it's comfortable and flattering to the bust line. I did use silicone Nu bra stick ons to keep the top from gapping. The pouffiness of the skirt is fun once you get used to it. I loved having pockets.  

The dress was very vibrant and beautiful.  It was comfortable to wear and the fabric was very elegant.  I received several compliments on the dress.  My only complaint was that it was a little too showy in the bust area and at a family wedding I felt a little uncomfortable.  I was not wearing a push up bra and I felt as though I had to be conscious of it the entire night.  

Color is a wonderful coral.  It was snug but once we got it zipped it was great.  Everyone loved it.  I wore this to a Kentucky Derby themed party with a big white hat and pearls

Don't hesitate to rent this dress!  The fabric is gorgeous, the fit is flattering, instant glamour.  This is a great example of why designers can charge such crazy prices for their designs.  The pockets are perfect.  I felt like Martha Stewart. The skirt maintains a perfect bell shape as you glide around.  The only caveat I havens that the dress is tight around the rib age. I could have solved this problem by going up a size without sacrificing style or fit.  That's my fault, not the dress.  The bust is amazingly flattering, now bra necessary. You will not regret renting this dress.  The color is extraordinary and reminds me of sorbet. I just wish I had taken a picture. I would definitely rent again.  


Runs small in the ribs. I don't have a large bust by any means, but it was tricky to zip this up over my ribcage. Size up one size from your usual dress size.

I rented this dress for a wedding and the size 6 was not available.  I typically wear a size 4 and somethings a size 6.  This truly ran small.  I am a straight built with a narrow back and was surprised I could not close in the back.  This is a GORGEOUS, fun dress and beautifully made. I imagine it would stand out at an occasion!

True to size, gorgeous fabric. Didn't give it 5 stars because I had to air it out. And Febreeze it.  Smell was not awesome.
