Very pretty and fancy
This fits great and the pockets are nice. I am on the fence about the material, however. I love magenta and it is pretty, but somehow feels too fancy for a late afternoon / evening wedding. I tried it on, and honestly just can't decide. If you are comfortable being a little overdressed, then rent it. It is very pretty.

Easy to wear, appropriate for so many occasions
Fits great. Length is great. No cleavage issues. Stretchy, so comfortable to wear. Had a slightly worn look to it (pilling or nubbing), but only slightly. If this would have had cap sleeves it would have been added to my closet permanently. I don't like to struggle with bra straps and prefer a cap sleeve, but if your arms are in great shape you will love this dress!

HUGE!
I read reviews and ordered a larger size. I ordered an 18, where a 14 or 16 would usually be on target. The 18 wasn't just too big, it was unwearably huge. I think a 12 or 14 would have worked. I suspect something dramatic occurs when jumping from 14 to whatever is considered plus sized for this line. Sent back, but fabric was lovely and I would have loved to have worn it.

Cute and Work Appropriate
Not low cut. Longer than it appears on the model on a 5'6" frame made it fine for work. Very cute style without being "cutesy". Zipper was pretty worn on this one, so it stuck a lot--only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5. Seems like this dress has been rented heavily in all sizes.

Super cute!
This was a really cute dress, but surprisingly it ran a little big for me. It gapped in the armholes, and extra fabric in the bust area. I am a 36C, so this is not a problem I generally fight. I think if I went down a size I would have loved it. Also, I am on the larger side for RTR clothing, so was surprised to need to go down in size. I have lots of issues with the wearability of the items I get from rent the runway. Too low cut, too short, etc. This looks shorter than it is, and on a 5'6" frame it was very appropriate for a conservative office environment. the v-neck was not too low cut, which was also great. Thumbs up on this one. Interesting stitching made it colorful and not the usual black dress.

Gorgeous Dress!
I maybe could have gone down one size in this dress, but it still was beautiful. The material was really unique and beautiful. I wore with navy blue shoes and it was great. Lots of compliments.

It was nice. Nothing terribly special, but fine.

Lace was a downfall for me
Lace on dress is sheer, so if the lining rides up (and it did) you could see through it and see your spanx or worse! I didn't realize this until it was too late, and God knows what people saw before I discovered the issue.

I loved this--very lightweight
This was a big surprise to me, and at first I didn't think I liked that. It didn't feel like a jacket really. But, it turned out that I really liked that. It goes with everything, looks great, and perfect for spring, summer and early fall when you don't need weight and warmth. There is room to fit something warmer underneath, but it doesn't add bulk to your body so it looks great. I also loved the belt, because I tie it and don't use it as a belt so having it long is perfect. I ended up buying it!

Cute and polished--sleeves made the difference
This had potential to look sloppy, but it didn't. It had great sleeves and looked pressed, which elevated this blouse a notch or two. I liked it. My comment would be on the value. If you live near a Rent The Runway and can walk in and exchange it, go for it! Totally worth it. If you have to ship back and forth, not really. You can only really wear it once or twice TOPS. For the transit time, I don't think it is a great value as one of the 4 pieces.

Super cute, but hikes
I absolutely love this dress! It is so cute, and it fits really well. I am a curvy figure (pear shaped if I am honest) so it is tough to accommodate with cute, stylish clothing. This one is great. Fabric has a stretch but not a cheap sheen, and it looks really classy but sexy at the same time.

Fit was super cute. Form fitting. Not at all boxy on curvy figure!
This is a great dress for curvy figure. Form fitting, stretchy but doesn't hike up. Classy looking. I have a bit of a pear shape (between hourglass and pear I would say) and it really looks good. Length is really good if you are wearing to work or use supportive undergarments as I do. No worries about spanx or control top pantyhose showing when you sit down.

Tight in weird places, too much cleavage
Couldn't wear this. Was going to wear to church yesterday...um...no. Work? No. Couldn't really move my arms because it was weirdly tight, and my cleavage was out of control. I am a 38C for reference. Could barely get it off. Oh well. 3 of the 4 items I got worked great, but this one was a miss for me.

Super cute. Great rental, because limited ways to use it.
Could have gone down a size. Got tons of compliments on it, though. Will rent again in the fall.
