Classy dress but bad RTR experience

Rent The Runway told me the day before my event that the dress I reserved 5 weeks in advance wouldn't be available and sent me the backup size. Fortunately it fit me but there are a few issues with this dress. Even if it has been loose on me, the shoulders turn up a bit so that the inside seams show - nothing you can do about it. It's also virtually impossible to zip up on your own. I'm glad it fit but I'm probably done with RTR because I'm so tired so renting something in advance and then being notified last minute it's not available.

Classic and perfect

I rent this designer all the time. Fits snug but always leaves you feeling comfortable. This dress is great for summer or winter and can be dressed up or down. Slides over your head easily and can be worn without a bra with no problem. I wore a strapless one but you could wear a regular one if you so choose. I would rent it again.

Best Dress Ever

This is the 3rd dress I've rented from this designer and I'm never disappointed. The material is flawless and this color makes you stand out in a crowd. I rented the 46 and 44 assuming the 44 would be way too tight, but I ended up wearing it and there was still a lot of give, especially in the stomach. (I have to say, I get really annoyed when I see pregnant women rent these dresses and stretch them out for others when they aren't meant to be maternity dresses). I would recommend sizing down on this designer because the dresses are stretchy. You will be so glad you tried this dress! Looks great with gold accessories.

LOVE this dress

I rented this designer before and loved it. I was not disappointed my second time. These dresses fit like a glove and are unbelievably flattering. I got compliments all night long - so many I lost track. I would rent this again in a heartbeat. It looks great, hugs your curves, and doesn't stretch out. Worth every penny.

An ill-fitting dress that does nothing for your body

After reading all the reviews, I thought this would be the perfect dress for me. I'm an hourglass shape and have a small waist for my size. I honestly don't know what people are talking about who reviewed this dress. So many girls said it was way too long and longer than on the model - not really. It was uncomfortably short on me and I'm 5'5. It also doesn't show off anything. The ruching took my waist away completely and from the side I looked flat chested even though I'm a 36D. When I showed my husband the dress he said "You can wear it but it does nothing for your figure. It looks cheap." I agreed with him. The dress was snagged and the stomach was WAY too loose and it looked like a pregnant women had worn it. I have to say ladies, if you're pregnant stop renting tight dresses! You ruin them for the others. I didn't wear this dress and would not rent it again.

Elegant and classy dress that shows off curves

I rented this as an emergency back-up when the first dress I ordered turned out to be unflattering. I ordered the 48 and 46 - both fit but I wanted to wear the smaller size. I didn't realize until I came home from the event I accidentally wore the larger size. It was loose all night which you can see from the pics, but this dress has great stretch so even a snug fit should still work for you. The material is amazing and hides everything. I got compliments ALL night on this dress. I know some people said stepping into the dress was weird but for the material and fit it makes perfect sense. The seams on the bust do come out a bit, but at a nighttime event it is not noticeable. I plan on renting this again but be warned it shows a LOT of cleavage.

Great dress that is forgiving!

After recently having a baby, dresses didn't fit me like they used to. I was clueless about what to wear to a friend's wedding and after reading the reviews I figured I'd take a chance on this. I wear anything from a size 8 to 12, so I rented the L and XL. Although both fit I went with the L because I felt like it held me in better. The XL was a bit longer and had more room in the waist. I wore this with a backless sticky bra and a waist cincher for my mommy-tummy. I could have gone without it but wanted to feel confident all night. The sequins don't feel great on your arms, but you get used to it after 10 minutes. I would definitely rent this again.
