This is the perfect, elegant black dress. It is so comfortable to wear and is made wother superb li
This dress ran slightly big in the waist section for me so I ended up grabbing a slim black belt in my closet and synching the waist. It worked beautifully. I wore a flesh toned bra with straps and was absolutely fine, you couldn't really see or notice through the gorgeous brocade fabric. The inner lining is heavenly and done well. This dress is so comfortable to wear and would be perfect for a lot of occasions. I received so many compliments on the dress tonight and felt a million bucks.

Another winner from RTR! People wanted to buy this clutch from me.
I had this clutch for my bachelorette party. As we moved from place to place in a very nice end of town, there were people coming up to me complimenting me on the clutch and asking where I got it from. I told them it was rented and they asked if they could then purchase it from me. I told them that wasn't how it worked and ended up telling at least 5 people about Rent The Runway. Great clutch and certainly an eye catcher!

A gorgeous flowing Kelly Green dress that was the more than a conversation starter.
This dress is one I was so happy I fit in, and fit well for my size. I am a 40 DD bust, waist 38 inches and hips/butt 51". This dress is snug beneath the bust line, but with a full body spanx I was fabulous. The bra has to be a racer back as the dress is a cut to show more shoulder which does not allow for normal bra style; or you can do what I did and wore a regular nude bra and had my fiance tie the straps together in the back. The flow to this dress hides a multitude of imperfections: bigger tummy, bugger thighs, and bigger buttocks. Everyone as the Wedding rehearsal told me that the color, style and fit of this dress was the perfect fit! They all were so happy I had found this dress and asked where I had found it and how much it cost considering who it is made by. I was never so pleased to tell someone that it was a rented dress for $70-80; this started a topic of conversation and allowed so many others in the room that night to find out about rent the runway. Thanks so much for including larger women in your collection these days. I felt like a million bucks in this dress. P.S. I was even more excited to be watching my regular TV series, "Beauty and the Beast" and see the main actress wearing this dress in one of their last episodes this season...I felt like a star then! Thanks again.

Gorgeous earrings that got many compliments
These are truly stunning earrings that go with the wrist cuff I rented as well. However, the one down side is they are clip on. They are a bit heavy on the ear, and by the end of the night (6.5 hours) I had to remove them as they were really hurting my ears by then. Truly worth the pain though. Stunning rental.

It is a beautiful dress; if you have hips and a butt, it made me look much bigger due to pleats
Fit in the bust line was slightly big for my 40 DD chest and I would have had to do a little safety pin to not show everything. The waist and length is perfect; however, the placing of the pleats made me look so much bigger than I actually was. If you have pear shape that is above 45" hip diameter, you may want to rethink this dress. With my buttock and hip circumference, it didn't look good on me.
