Now I want one in every color…
I got so many compliments! Beautiful flowy, high-end fabric. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try a Hill House Nap dress, now I want one in every color! So flattering and comfortable. Found this style to run generous in the bust, compared to other styles from this brand. Loved the back tie detail and the ruffles on the sleeves.

Nesli Nap Dress

Usual Size: 16

Bust: 40D
Classy, wanted to love it so but the fit was off!
I've had this in my "hearts" for awhile, waiting for an appropriate occasion. Runching and neckline is nice but on me, it was way too short - made me feel matronly because the length wasn't flattering. There's a subtle//kinda weird fishtail element in the back I was not anticipating. (Def need Spanx to smooth everything out).

Elevated LBD!
Rented this for my little sister's college graduation because I knew my family would be taking a ton of photos. Def runs a little small for Eloquii (I'm a solid 16/18 in their stuff) and had to wear the 20. Loved the cold shoulder detail and the stretch of the fabric. Loved it so much, I ordered the same style just with an A-line skirt the day after I returned my rental.

Fit like a glove!!!
I got invited to a military ball last minute and this was the perfect dress! True to size and it has pockets! Super flattering, loved the hi-low hem and no need for spanx! You will need to safety pin your bra down (recommend a strapless to accommodate the boatneck neckline) because the back detail is a little low. Didn't encounter any discomfort with the sequins like other reviews have mentioned, seriously ladies...you won't regret renting this gem!

Pretty in pink! Complimented non-stop, made me feel like a princess!
I wore this gorgeous dress for my bridal shower and it was a hit! Perfect for the occasion, feminine and figure-flattering! I did what other girls did and actually wore it backwards because I felt like the v-neck was more flattering. I agree with some of the other reviews, the sleeves are a bit tight...the fabric is thick and stretchy, got a little hot by the end of the day but beauty is pain, right? I was worried that folks would think it looked like a sweater dress given the nature of the fabric but it photographed beautifully! I expected the color to be more pink, its definitely on the nude end of blush but I would highly suggest renting this one - Rent the Runway for the win, yet again!

Rose Haze Dress
Marchesa Voyage
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16

Awkward fitting!
I rented this for my bridal shower, ended up returning it the very next day because it was clear it was not going to work. The fabric has great texture and had the dress been cut properly, it would have been a lovely party dress but the fit is super awkward. I'm a 40D and the dress was too big in the chest but super tight and constricting in the waistband...there is zero stretch to the dress and I consider my waist to be the smallest part of my body, I could barely get the thing zipped up and when I did, it did that weird bumpy thing around the zipper in the back but the chest was sticking up off my shoulders from the excess fabric that I could have used down at my waist...ended up renting a regular size XL Marchesa dress for the occasion.

Perfect Vegas Bachelorette party dress, stunning, glamorous sequins, I got so many compliments!
I rented this dress for my bachelorette party in Vegas! I got compliments all night and continue to get asked where I got the dress weeks later. It is very short and will ride up when you walk! I actually ended up wearing the smaller, backup size because the 18W was shorter than the 16W if that makes sense! RTR had great customer service and overnighted another style to Vegas for me but I never ended up picking up the dress at the Cosmopolitan because my friends convinced me I could pull this off. Didn't have an issue with the sequins rubbing my underarms like other reviews mentioned. I would suggest going up a size just due to length...makes the girls look great and the color is a gorgeous champagne/rose gold! RTR for the win!
