Perfect peplum dress for my senior semi-formal!
This dress fit true to size and hit at mid-thigh on me. It was easy to both sit and dance in; not too tight at all! The gold/black lace fabric and peplum made the dress trendy and elegant. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful color and great fit! I didn't want to take it off!
I loved this dress and almost bought it at a Tibi sale after renting. The color is absolutely beautiful and I loved the fit. I usually don't like high necklines, but the ruffle on this dress made it feel less constricting. The dress fit true to size and fell just below mid-thigh. I wore this to a networking event. The dress was conservative enough for the event while still letting me look young and fashionable.

I did not want to take this dress off! Comfortable, flattering and chic!
I am obsessed with this dress and did not want to take it off! I wore it to a tailgate party on Georgia-Florida football weekend. The dress was such an easy fit and very flattering. I considered belting it, but I actually liked it better hanging loosely. The dress hit a little below mid-thigh. I wore it with cowboy boots and a bauble necklace, but you could easily dress it up with a pair of colored heels.

A comfortable, trendy dress perfect for a fashion show!
I wore this dress when I MC'd my school's Rent The Runway fashion show. I felt very comfortable in this dress, even when I was onstage! When I ordered the dress, I was afraid the color would wash me out, but it's a darker shade than it appears in photos and complemented my fair skin perfectly. The dress fits pretty true to size, but I would suggest ordering a size up for the backup size, especially if you have a larger bust. The top is structured enough that I didn't need to wear a bra and it stayed up all night. The peplum is very flattering at the hips and the dress fell at mid-thigh on me. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Perfect Gameday Dress!
The dress fit true to size, and I didn't have to worry about tugging the top all day. The only complaint I have is that the dress did not lie flat in the torso area, but it was more to do with the cut of the dress than with sizing. Overall, a great dress that could be worn for a variety of occasions, both day and evening.

A great summer dress!
This is a fun summer dress! The cut is really simple, so it lets the print and beading take the spotlight. The dress fits true to size and hit at mid-thigh. This dress would be great for an outdoor party or wedding shower.

The lace detail on this dress is great!
This dress was a little snug in the chest, but not so much that it was uncomfortable. The length hit at mid-thigh and the blue lace detail really stands out. If I wore this dress again I would probably add a belt to break up the pattern. This would be great for a wedding or shower.

Beautiful color! And loved the sleeves.
I rented this dress for a fashion event at my school. The dress is a beautiful color and the beading at the neckline is great! The dress runs a little big above the waist and is fitted in the hips. It's also very short. Overall, however, the dress looked good on and I felt comfortable wearing it.

The cutouts really make the dress!
I tried this dress on at the Rent The Runway Manhattan showroom. I would definitely wear this for my sorority's formal. The dress hit just above the floor with 3 in heels on. And the back is my favorite part of the dress! The dress is clingy and you can't really wear a bra because of the cutouts, so make sure you have the right undergarments when renting. A great choice if you want to wear something fun and sexy to a formal affair.

The cut and polka dot print on this dress is absolutely perfect!
I love the polka dots on this dress! The photo of the model does not do it justice. This is a fun, feminine dress that would be perfect for a daytime date. The cut is very flattering and the dress hit just below the knee. I didn't want to take this dress off!

The dress was the perfect compliment to the clutch! (Yes, I chose the clutch first and the dress second).
This dress is very simple. So if you want something that stands out, this may not be the dress for you. However, it is perfect for letting a cool accessory take the spotlight (like the Kate Spade clutch I rented as well).

I love the skirt of this dress! Flow-y and fun.
I tried this dress on in the Rent The Runway Manhattan showroom. This dress is fun and flow-y. It fit a little big in the waist, but was otherwise true to size. The a-line skirt is very flattering and hit at a good length. This dress would be perfect for a brunch or luncheon.

Amazing dress! (I'm on the left). My sister (on the right) also rented her dress!
I ordered this as my back-up dress for a sorority formal, but when it arrived I loved it more than my "first choice" dress so I wore this one instead! I loved the combination of coral, light pink and red. The dress was very flowy and fit well: I didn't have to worry about pulling up the top all night. The only negative was that it was a little long on me, even with 4 inch heels. Overall, an amazing dress!

Loved this dress! Perfect for a date party!
I wore this dress to a sorority date party in February and loved it! The fit was perfect and the sleeves hit at just the right place. The open back and sparkles made it really fun and the navy was a nice alternative to black. It is a mini dress, but it wasn't so short that I was uncomfortable sitting. I would definitely wear this dress again!

I loved this dress (I'm on the right)! The birthday girl (on the left) also rented her dress.
I wore this dress for my friend's birthday party. The fit was amazing!. The one long sleeve and the ruffle gave a sexy twist to the classic Little Black Dress. I wore the dress with tights because it was really cold outside, but it would look great with bare legs as well.

Beautiful, but ill-fitting
This dress was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't wait to wear it. However, like other reviews say, the top had absolutely no structure and just flopped over, no matter what I tried. Perhaps someone with a different shape could have worn it better. If you rent, I would definitely take advantage of the $25 second style just in case this one doesn't work for you either.

Perfect dress to ring in 2012!
This dress was absolutely perfect for New Year's Eve! When I took it out of the box it felt very heavy due to the beading, but it was not heavy to wear. It did scoop down lower in the front than I anticipated, but it wasn't an issue.

This dress was both comfortable and fashion-forward. Perfect for the fashion show I wore it to!
Although I found the dress to run slightly large in the bust (but not so much that it was falling off, just loose), I absolutely loved it. The color is more cranberry than it appears in the photo, but the volume and pleats of the skirt are really fun! I wore this to a fashion show and felt both comfortable and fashion-forward.
