Fun and bright
This dress was so bright and fun! Out of all of the Rent the Runway dresses I have rented this is the dress that has received the most compliments. The length was perfect for my height. I ordered mu usual size (a 2) and a size smaller (a 0) based on other reviews. The smaller size fit everywhere except for the arms so I went with my usual size which was very comfortable and forgiving. This dress did wrinkle fairly easily but the pattern hid the wrinkles well.

Total glamour
Red sequins - what more could you want from a dress? I rented this for a New Year's Eve party and had so much fun! This dress was so glamorous and sparkly. It was a little heavy, but no more so than any other sequined dress. I wore a strapless bra with no problems. The length was perfect for - a little above the knee but not too short at all. I was comfortable the whole night. The dress has a little stretch and give to it - not skin tight at all.

Gorgeous, comfortable, and lightwieght
This dress was so soft, comfortable, and lightweight. I was worried the lace top would be itchy but it wasn't. The length hit a little below my knees and felt like more of a midi dress on me given my height. It would probably be too long for anyone under 5'0". I received so many compliments on this dress. I easily wore a strapless bra and had no issues with it showing.

Not my first choice but beautiful
This was sent me as a back up despite having reserved my first choice more than two months in advance. This was a very different dress than my usual style and a little outside of my comfort zone. I was not in love with this dress but I received a lot of compliments on it. The detailed sleeves really make the dress special and glamorous. Unfortunately the sleeves were showing some wear - beads and sequins were falling off and there were some loose threads. The length was perfect - it came to my knees (I'm 5'2"). The lining of the dress would peek out from the dress at times, which was kind of annoying. I also did not like that the mesh lining on the top of the dress was a dark flesh color (it was kind of sheer but still darker than my skin tone - and I had a little bit of a tan). I was worried the lining would look weird (I was self conscious of it), but luckily it wasn't that noticeable in pictures. Despite all of this, people loved this dress. It photographs really well. It's sophisticated, and the details on the dress, especially the sleeves, are stunning.

Unique yet classic dress!
I received so many compliments throughout the night on this dress. As we were leaving the reception, the professional photographer hired for the gala stopped me to take my picture. This dress fit like a glove! It was definitely a little tight at the end of the night after dinner and a few cocktails. I LOVED this dress! It was thicker material, and, like other reviewers mentioned, I needed help zipping up the corset piece and then the dress. I could easily wear a strapless bra, however this dress did not budge or slip. I did not have to worry about it moving or slipping down all night. That being said, it does not have a lot of give or leeway.

I received so many compliments on this beautiful dress!
The color of this dress is gorgeous; it was a great pop of color without detracting from the bride.The lace detailing is really nice, but I felt it definitely needed to be paired with a statement necklace. I originally wore nude, strappy sandals with this dress, but it rained at the outdoor wedding I attended so I switched to brown booties for the reception. Had I worn this to an indoor wedding, I would have worn nude pumps instead. This dress has a lining, which was the perfect length - it didn't hike up or slip down below the lace bottom. However, the lining seemed to be just as billowy as the skirt of the dress; occasionally, the lining would slip in between my thighs as I was walking. It was easy to adjust, and only happened 2-3 times during the whole day, but it may annoy some people. This was the perfect dress for a summer wedding - even though it rained! I stayed warm in the rain (with a thin sweater) and was cool when the sun came out. I am 5'2" and this dress came exactly to my knees, so if you are shorter than me this may be too long. The size 2 fit perfectly in the ribcage and arms. I didn't even bother trying on my backup size 0 so I can't compare the two sizes. The top of the dress is fitted; there isn't any stretch but it's definitely true to size. This was not a "small" size 2. I wore this dress all day, which included a 4 hour car ride - it was so comfortable. This is a perfect dress for a summer or afternoon outdoor wedding. I wish I could buy this dress!
