Not for girls with bigger boobs. I wore the size 6 and I’m a 34D

I love a fit and flare dress.  I have a smaller bust and waist and a larger bottom half.  I chose a size 4, I usually would be a 6, because I know I like a tighter fit on top and the bottom will still be ok.  It was perfect

I rented this dress for my teenage daughter to wear to her first high school Homecoming dance! The dance is a semi-formal affair and this dress was perfect for the occasion. She has long legs and a short torso, so the top of the dress was a little long in the shoulder, but we made it work! She is a DD cup and this dress fit her top with full coverage: cute and still age appropriate! She said she got lots of compliments from her friends!

I loved this dress! I have to admit, I didn't get as many compliments as I normally do on my RTW dresses but I still loved it nonetheless. I wore it to a wedding and it was great for sitting, eating, dancing and all other wedding activities, including an Opa!  The other reviews were right when they talked about the back panel fitting a little weird and being loose but otherwise everything else was great. Definitely recommend to others!

Got lots of compliments. My only complain is the seam in the middle hit right at the widest point of my waist/ribs so by the end of the night it was digging in to me. Not a seam that gives. A 6 would've been to big but a size 4 was too tight.

I absolutely loved this dress! This was my first experience with RTR and it was for my brother in law's wedding so I was nervous, but was not disappointed at all. I got SO many complements on this dress and felt beautiful and comfortable all night. I would've loved to keep this one! 

LOVE THE FIT. Perfect cut on the bottom. So many compliments! Colors were great!

Comfortable, good quality material, photographs well, liked that it had a built in skirt slip, would wear again. Wore 4 instead of my usual 6

I have been eyeing this dress for a while and it lived up to its long awaited potential! The fit was absolutely perfect; the length, the waist, and even the bust despite my small chest size there wasn't any bagging or gaps. It was very comfortable to sit through the wedding and dance the night away at the reception. I love the hi-lo, I was confident whenever I had to lean down. The back was beautiful, I wore a strapless bra to avoid visible bra straps. I noticed the waist getting a little snug later in the night but I don't have a small waist (compared to my bust and hips) and that was after the buffet and open bar, so I will take full responsibility of bloating! But the material is not stretchy so I'm mentioning it for that note. I absolutely loved wearing this dress, the flowers and the unique back design were such subtle notes of glam that perfectly fit my personality and the event. 

Lots of compliments on this dress at a wedding! Super comfy and fun. Wore a size a little bigger than I usually do because it runs small.

I got many compliments on this dress and I felt very pretty in it, although I gave it a 4 because it felt a bit large and the back wasn't my favorite.

Absolutely loved this dress. I was comfortable, classy and not worried when moving around that the back was too short. Got a ton of compliments! 

I first tried on the size 6 which is my normal size. It fit except right across the chest which was very tight. I ordered the size 8 as a back up and ended up wearing that one. The size 8 fight across the chest but ended up being quite large in the waist, however you couldn't actually tell so it ended up working out. I loved the hi/lo of the hem. I got many compliments on the dress throughout the evening and would definitely wear it again. I am 5'6' and the hi hem in front wasn't too short. The chest is the tightest part so if you're not proportional and your chest is larger than your waist I'd order up. 

Very beautiful, fun dress! Have to wear a strapless bra with it. Overall great - definitely grabs attention & stands out in a large crowd. I got a lot of compliments!


I wore this dress to my engagement party, hosted by my father-in-law. I can't tell you how many compliments I received on it. I loved the richness of the blues, the dark navy panel on the back, and the hem of the skirt. My only complaint was that the chest area was a bit tight. Thinking of renting this again soon!

I loved this dress! The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the top fit a bit strange on me. I have an athletic build and have pretty broad shoulders. The 12 was a bit tight on my ribs, but fit pretty loose everywhere else. Other than that though I thought this dress was beautiful. 

love the hilow. Tons of compliments on the back of the dress. 

This was a great dress- the waist line is a bit unforgiving as the fabric has no stretch, so you might want to consider sizing up. The same holds true if you are busty. A racer back bra was perfect underneath. For those comments about needing another person to zip it up, the zipper seems to be weirdly set, which might lead to that. Overall, fantastic and I received so many complements!

There was too much fabric in the chest, as I don't have a lot in that department, and the extra fabric looked kind of awkward. Otherwise, it was a very good fit. I needed a clip to keep my bra straps from showing. I am a petite person, but the front of the dress still hit above the knee and the back was well below the knee.

I loved this dress! I wore it to a summer wedding in Texas, and it was perfect. The back detail added a fun element to the dress. Material was a tad thick and heavy

I rented this dress for my engagement party and it was a HUGE hit!! Everyone kept complimenting me on how beautiful the dress was. I absolutely loved the fit and style. I'm 5'5 and very petite on top. I rented a size two, and it fit perfectly! The dress isn't tight and is super comfortable to wear. I wish I could buy this one! 

The chest was a little big on me. I wore a regular bra with the straps crossed in the back. I was kinda bummed I didnt size down for my backup just because I was curious if the 0 would have fit me better in the bust, but the waist was perfect on the 2. Length was fun and flirty. 

Loved this dress! Very simple but classy. The front of the high low was a little short but overall the fit was great! 

This dress is actually beautiful on.  The sizing is a little off.  I usually wear a 12 or 14 and I had to wear the 16.  It was a bit snug at the waist and around my chest but loose by my shoulders.  All in all I would definitely rent this again.

This dress was so easy and light to wear. It hugged in all the right places. Although I have no shot of the back, it was stunning. My first RTR and I will be back!  :)

While the bust & fabric was very unforgiving with large (nursing still) breasts, it was super flattering! I wore a regular bra. While the hi-lo skirts aren't my all time favorite, the length of the skirt was perfect for my 5'4" frame with high heels.

Fit was spot on, I was so nervous because I ordered pretty late / close to my event and my backup size wasn't available but the 6 was absolutely perfect. Loved the hi/low style, and the back detail.  So unique and perfect!

I had to get a size bigger than I usually wear because they didn't have my size. Despite this, I loved this dress. The print and style are gorgeous and I got tons of compliments throughout the day.

I would wear this dress every day if I could. I wore this to my residency graduation in New Orleans. On top of being gorgeous, it's so comfortable too! I found it runs true to size and would probably look good on everybody. Zero complaints.  Stop what you're doing and rent this dress immediately!!

I was a little worried because of mixed reviews, but this dress was perfect!  I do have a long torso and couldn't have been happier with the fit.   I love the shorter front and longer back, and despite my height and wearing heels it wasn't too short in the front.  I was able to wear a strapless bra with no problem.  It's lined and the fabric is sturdy, but appropriate for a hot day as well.  I highly recommend this dress and would rent it again!

Beautiful fabric and I loved the dress from the waist down. Top was an odd cut and I couldn't make it stay un-bunched. I have a small chest and it was tight but seems to need broader shoulders. Sent it back. 

Love this dress. It was comfortable, flowy, and just the right length. The only thing is that there wasn't as much room in the bust as I would like, but it wasn't very noticeable. I normally wear a 10 but that wasn't available; fortunately, the 12 fit perfectly! The waist felt kind of loose near the beginning of the night but ended up being perfect after a long day of eating and dancing. Definitely wish I owned this dress! 

Loved this dress. It was so comfortable and a great way to try out the high-low style without getting too crazy. Looked really cute when the wind picked up for a picture! Was able to wear a strapless bra with it which I was not expecting. Lots and lots of compliments!

Fits true to size and loved it so much!  No cons that I can think of.  Received a ton of compliments on the dress as well.

Dress was comfortable and modest. It was not nearly as short on me in the front as it is on the model. I am 5'5", 180, 38B. The top/chest area was too large for me and would have had plenty of room to fill with bigger chest than me. The fit was very true to size. I liked the dress and received compliments throughout the evening on the dress. 

I wore this to a large horse racing event in Nashville and it was the perfect choice.  The color and style stood out in the crowd, and I got many compliments. I'm athletic, 5'7", size 4, 138 lbs, 34D, and the fit was great. I have a large chest and was worried because my back up size wasn't available, but my normal size ended up working out fine. I probably could have stood a smidge more room in the chest because it did pucker ever so slightly at the side zip, but no one noticed and it wasn't uncomfortable at all. The dress hit about 4 inches above my knee.  However, I wore flat sandals as required for my event, so it may have appeared shorter if I would have worn heels. I didn't wear a bra, but a strapless or racer back would probably be necessary.  The material is light and the lower back hemline actually had volume that made it "poof" out like I had hoped - rather than just lay flat.  It was also lined, so nothing showed when I sweat on a hot May day in the south.  All in all a great experience with Rent the Runway.  The dress arrived on time, was clean and pressed, and the return process was easy. 

Loved this dress! I wore it for my doctoral graduation ceremony. It fit well, however the top was a tiny bit loose on me. I'm an A cup though, and it really was hardly noticeable and otherwise fit great. 

The top of the dress was baggy, and not a great fit. The strap on the back was very loose and hung down. It was fine to wear one time- but definitely not a dress I would buy. 

I really should believe reviews, but I always think...it will be different for me. It's not. Just like others say, the upper bodice is very large and ill-fitting. I have a large bust and thought I could maybe "fill it out" or something, but it's not that. It's just that the distance from the waist to the shoulders is too long. As if it needs to be taken in at the shoulder seam. With that odd length, it makes the back feature kind of poof out rather than lie flat. On top of that, the waist seam is in an unfortunate position, but that's my body's fault and not the fault of the dress. I shouldn't choose this cut of dress ever again. I wore it to a Derby party and it was fun for the event, but I definitely could have looked better with another choice of dress.
