I loved this dress - it fits true to size (maybe a bit big actually), is really comfortable and can be casual or a bit dressy depending on how you accessorize.

I got a date with a really cute guy over this dress ;)
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I loved this dress. It is beautiful and flattering. I normally where a size 4 - and the 4 fit great. The structured shoulder were almost a little too broad for me; if you have really petite shoulders, this dress might not work for you. I am a 34D and the bust was a little snug, if you have larger breasts then that, you might have a hard time. All and all, I enjoyed wearing it a lot :)

I rented this dress for a fall wedding in Philadelphia. It was perfect for the occasion. I'm 5'4, 120 pounds and the 2 fit perfectly. I also rented the necklace pictured and wore with black pumps with no tights. The dress was a bit longer on me than the model, which I liked since it was for a Catholic wedding. I would definitely recommend renting this dress!

Lovely dress
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size

First off, I am a combination of strange measurements (4'10", 30D, 23, 36), so I expect to have fit issues. I really liked this dress, but I would have benefitted from a slightly smaller and shorter cut in the bodice. It wasn't so oversized that it was a problem, but I definitely had extra room at the bust and waist. The only thing that annoyed me was the weird cut of the arms. Since I'm quite short, the arm openings hung low on me and you could see a bit of the sides of my bra at times. However, I don't think this would be the case on a taller person. My favorite detail was the V back, which was so flattering. I received lots of compliments.

I rented this dress for my Engagement Party! It was super comfortable, ran true to size and was extremely flattering. The dress came pressed and ready to wear and was in great condition.

Out of all the dresses I've rented this one is my favorite! I'm normally a size 6, but 8 was the only available size. I ordered a back up style, but ended up going with this dress! It runs true to size, it was a little loose and I could definitely have used the 6, but 8 worked. I wish I could buy it I loved it so much! (Apologies for the photo, it was a last minute photo for the night because I forgot to take others throughout the night!)

I wore this to an awards ceremony/ party that had a Black & White Theme; it was the perfect choice because it for classy yet flirtly and completely confortable to dance in all night. I have a larger butt so I opted for the size 8 instead of the 6 to make sure I didn't have any issues with swift moves in the dress. My only regret is that I didn't get a full body shot of just me in the dress.

I rented this dress for an engagement party and got SO many compliments. I loved the fabric and the fit. The color isn't exactly white, it's a little grey-ish but that made me like it even more. The cap sleeves weren't restricting for me, even when we went out and danced for the afterparty. I can't wait to rent again!

Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size

I wore this dress to my vintage tea party style Bridal Shower. I wanted something different that incorporated a "lacey" look and also made me stand out, since I am the bride. This dress was perfect! It came right on time- and it fit perfectly. It was a little big in the waist, but I pretty sure it's supposed to be this way. Also, it is a little short- but so am I, so it just made my legs look longer. I wouldn't suggest that a really tall person wear this dress though. Overall my dress was a hit the only con was that I had to send it back! (Which was also an easy process!) Good Luck!

This was my first experience with Rent the Runway and I am so happy. The backup size was great because I ended up wearing that one. This dress fits true to size, but the sleeves are a little tight. It's the perfect combination of dressy and casual for a formal affair. The pattern is great because it makes you stand out from the average black and white dress due to the unique detailing. Definitely worth renting this dress!

Adorable for Many Occasions
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I rented this as my extra dress for an additional $25 and wore it to a friend's rehearsal dinner. It's very cute and flattering, although I thought it ran a little small. I usually am a very consistent size S/4, and this felt a little snug. Given that I didn't have a backup size I still wore it and didn't feel uncomfortable, however I would have preferred to have had the option to go with the size 6. Still, received lots of compliments and thought it was a great dress to wear all year round depending on how you accessorize.

Sorry for the lame self pic....loved the dress and got a ton of compliments on it. It did run a little short but because the top was more conservative it was fine. It was fun to add in a little color with jewelry and make-up. The only down side would be the sleeve was a little restrictive but it was so cute it was worth it. This was first rental and I cant wait to rent again!

Perfect dress for the occassion!
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress to a friend's wedding in late April in NH and it was perfect for the occassion. I rented a size 10 and a size 12 knowing that I usally wear a size 10. It fit perfectly and I may have even been able to try the 8 instead, but didn't sized up for my back-up instead of down. I loved the little sleeves because I'm not a big fan of my arms and they gave me a little coverage. I also really enjoyed the color; the silver part has a lavender tinge to it which is really pretty.

This dress was a real hit - I received so many compliments and felt so classy! The cap sleeves were a welcome change from strapless and sleeveless dresses, and the length was saucy but appropriate. So comfortable - wore it for hours for a wedding rehearsal and dinner afterwards and felt good the entire time.

I bet I was the most glamorous mama there!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The model is super tall, so the dress looks very short. but since I'm only 5'3', the length was perfect. It came to a few inches above my knee. Still conservative, but a hint of sexy. I was expecting black and white, but the white is more of a silver/gray. Not a big deal. I also expected the lace to be actual lace, but it is just printed on the fabric. This turned out to be a good thing because it made the dress less "fragile," and I was holding my 3 1/2 month old daughter for a lot of the evening, so I didn't have to worry about the lace snagging on anything, etc. The sleeves are great, but when you lift your arms it does show a good amount of the armpit area. I used the provided fashion tape to fix that (thank you, RTR!). Overall, it fit beautifully and I loved it!! I wore the dress to a black tie wedding and felt perfectly dressed.

I received so many compliments on this dress. It is simple but stands out. It fit well, and was figure flattering. No tugging! The material is nice, the color as some have mentioned is not white or gray as the picture shows but more of a shiny lavender. The only draw back was the sleeves. I wore it for a book signing and was hardly able to extend my arms far enough in front of me to hand readers their books, lol.

The 8 fit perfectly. A little short on me, I'm 5'9", and the waist isn't as well defined as I thought it would be so I added a belt and it was great. Cap sleeves are really cute and the dip in the back is just the slightest bit sexy. The lace is a screen print which I found surprising.

I rented this dress for my head shots because it's a great combination of fun, casual and professional. I love the cinched waist and the A-line skirt. The capped sleeve is a little tight and takes some getting use to, but I think it went well with the overall chic and sophisticated look of the dress. I wanted to rent it again for a graduation, but it wasn't available!

I wore this dress for my office Holiday Party. This dress was a last minute choice as my original choice was unavailable prior to shipping. Looking back I am so thankful that I wore this instead! I received so many compliments on the dress! It was comfy and just the right length for my height (I am 5'2"). I am docking one star since the sleeves make it a bit harder to raise your arms all the way over your head, but I would DEFINITELY wear this again. Thank you RTR for suggesting this dress for me!

I wore this dress to prom and I was so happy I did. The picture makes it look like it's white with black lace but it's actually a light purple-gray color with the printed black lace pattern. It's definitely unique and no one else wore anything like it. The cap sleeves are a little bit of a constraint for dancing, but other than that it was great.
