A Hall of Fame awards show.
I ordered this dress in a 6 and an 8, but was told ahead of time, that the 8 was not going to be available. So, the great people at RTR sent me three additional dresses to choose from. But after trying them all on, my original choice was the best. Even though I tend to be between a 6 and 8, this dress in a six was perfect! The dress hit me right above the knee..and accented my somewhat toned arms. :) It stood out in a sea of black..worn by both men and women..had almost a 60's mod vibe. I would certainly recommend this dress for a fun, but fancy occasion!

It was an exciting event!
Loved this dress! I ordered the six and the eight...the six was just too tight in the bust area, so I wore the eight. Couldn't wear a bra with the dress, but it made the "girls" look great! The dress was fairly heavy..and since it hit the floor in the back, whenever I went up or down the stairs, I had to step carefully. Kept the accessories simple..just wore a silver charm bracelet and drop earrings. It allowed for a dressier shoe however. I received compliments all night...and it made my arms look great! It gets a thumbs up!!

Received so many compliments at the Ball.
Rented this dress, because I like the hemline..different from what I thought I would see at a Ball I was attending. When it arrived, I found the dress to be of a substantial weight...(wouldn't wear this in the summer..)and it draped beautifully. I am fairly busty, so I tried both dresses (8 and 10) on..but since I was the only one home at the time, I found I couldn't zip the 8 up by myself..I think it would have fit perfectly if I could have, but I wore the 10 because I could zip it and found the bodice was just a bit large... But overall, it was a beautiful dress...I wore it with a very colorful necklace...and received compliments all night. Love Rent the Runway!

Very feminine...
I attended a Formal Society dance...and thought this dress looked fresh compared to so many formal dresses I've seen. I asked for the size 40 and 42 R...and although both fit, the 40 was tight on my bust...and the 42 was big on my bust, but I safety pinned the side of the bodice, and for the most part, it worked well. Did have to continually pull the front up because the fabric tended to turn down..(I suppose after much use, that shouldn't be a surprise.) Thanks RTR for sending the double sided tape! The dress flows very well, and as others have suggested...you don't have to worry about it fitting your waist. I wore a colorful jeweled necklace with it(predominately blue) and received compliments on my look all night. It's a very feminine dress and I'd recommend renting it if you don't want to look like everyone else!

Dress was not quite as exciting as I'd hoped.
The dress ran true to size...but I rented it for a garden party...thinking it would be very colorful. I found the colors to be fairly muted...and although the fit was fine...it really wasn't what I was looking for. (I decided to wear a dress already in my closet.) Just kind of blah...but these things happen...and I can't wait for my next occasion to rent another great outfit!

Compliments All Night Long!
Wore this to an annual Society Holiday ball...ordered the 8R and 10R....the 8 was a perfect fit...and the way it's designed, made my figure look even curvier. (That's a good thing!) Can't tell you how many compliments I received...especially from men. One woman who co-owns an exclusive dress shop in town wanted to know if I bought it there. Told her "no" and smiled to myself. It has a very expensive feel to it...and although it was longer than I expected...I simply had to put on my 5 inch heels...and I was great to go! Would rent this again....

Everyone had compliments about the dress!
Rented this for a costume party...(I went as Beyonce') and it was perfect! Rented the M and L...and though both fit...I thought the L would give me more room in the hips. The sequins stayed on...and in person, this is a lot more attention getting than it appears. It also has almost a red cast to it. Very comfortable...the only problem? My long blonde Beyonce wig kept catching on the sequins...:) Love this dress!

Looks even better in person...
Loved this dress! Wore it to an Emmy awards ceremony and got lots of compliments. Read where many felt the bust didn't fit quite right...I didn't have any trouble. The pockets were a nice addition. Wore it with silver pumps with a 3 inch asymmetrical heel. Not a dress for the summer...the fabric is too heavy, but I'd recommend it for the fall or winter.

Rented a 6L and 8L...one was a bit too snug...the other a bit too loose..but went with the 8 just to be comfortable. The bra inside of the 8 could have had one more set of hooks for my taste..but it wasn't a deal breaker. The color is much more of a dusty pink than the photo shows so it didn't do much for my coloring...but loved the way the dress flowed when I walked. Received quite a few compliments.

Loved this dress...it was pretty much true to size...maybe just a tad big in the waist. Received lots of compliments...wore it much like the model did, with dark opaque hose and sparkling silver accesories. Plan to rent another dress for an upcoming occasion!
