Beautiful simplicity
I loved the dress it was beautiful in person. I rented for my bridesmaid to wear in my engagement/ marriage announcement. I was wearing an off white dress and wanted her to wear white. Unfortunately I guessed her sizes and neither fit, they ran small. She says she has a wider upper body than usual. The dress is very nice in person.

Beautiful back up
I ordered this dress as a back up in case my original choice did not fit. It was the perfect simple wedding dress. In reviews the dress is said it runs small. I have a smaller upper torso so I think the 4 would have fit without a bra, but the six gave me space to wear a bra. I felt like a princess wearing this dress. I didn't take any pictures, but if my original did not fit I would not have been disappointed.

Beautiful dress
Unfortunately I guessed on my bridesmaid size and was incorrect. She usually wears a medium in tops and smalls in bottoms. We could not get the dressed zipped. I wear a size 4 and the dress looked looser on me, so I think it runs true to size. The dress was beautiful so I'm disappointed we could not use it.

Beautiful on the hanger
Unfortunately I guessed on my bridesmaid size and was incorrect. She usually wears a medium in tops and smalls in bottoms. We could not get the dressed zipped. I wear a size 4 and the dress looked baggy on me, so I think it runs true to size. It looked like a dress that would look good on a woman with a larger chest. The dress was beautiful so I'm disappointed we could not use it.

Absolutely stunning
This dress was so amazing. I wore it for engagement photos. I knew ordering it that it ran small but they didn't have the size up available so I took a gamble. When I first tried it on we were not able to get it zipped. I had to get creative, i held my boobs out of the dress, had my partner zip it up then shoved my boobs back in. The dress was tight but comfortable when zipped. I could sit comfortably. There's so much fabric to the dress it's absolutely amazing. The sleeves are very constricting and make it almost impossible to raise your arms, but not too inconvenient since I only wore the dress for pictures. I love this dress so much and it made my pictures amazing.

Beautiful dress
The dress was comfortable while standing but the boning was a bit uncomfortable while seated. The dress was true to size. I'm 5'4 and with 4 inch heels the dress was the perfect length. I had rented for my bridesmaid to wear for my engagement photos but unfortunately none of the dresses fit her. I wore this dress to a dinner with my family since I had it. It was very roomy and comfortable in the hips area. I think this would be the perfect look for a summer wedding guest. The customer service of rent the runway is amazing.

Stunning dress
I rented this dress for engagement photos taken in a studio, then a nice dinner. I had read reviews that the dress ran large so I rented the 2r as well. I was worried because after I had placed my order i read more reviews that said it ran small. Luckily the 4r was perfect. I wore it without a bra because it has built in support, also if I tried to wear a bra it would have been too tight. The dress is very light and made of quality materials so feels super comfortable. The dress is not tight around the stomach so eating was comfortable. I had no issues with my order. The dress photographs beautifully. This was my first rental, I had tried before but they did not ship to Hawaii. I'm so happy they've opened this service to Hawaii. I already have my second rental ordered. I can't wait to order more!

Perfect touch
The comb was smaller in person than I had expected from the photos. That did not bother me at all, it was the perfect finishing touch to complete my look.

Great deal!
Definitely worth buying, with two rentals I've saved enough to make back my money.
