Stunning head-turner—A+!
This is, by far, the best gown that I've ever rented from Rent the Runway. Due to a last-minute snafu, I needed a gown immediately and took a chance on the 2R without a backup. I was concerned that it wouldn't fit, as a lot of size 2 gowns don't fit the lower half of my body well, but I was pleasantly surprised—it fit like a glove. I have an athletic figure, but the gown fit comfortably around my quads and broader shoulders while emphasizing my proportionately smaller waist. I'm 5'3", wore 5" nude pumps and the gown just barely swept the floor. It was flawless. I paired it with a sleek high ponytail and gold jewelry. I'd highly recommend this gown—not only will you be receiving compliments all night, the gown will move seamlessly with you, no matter what you do.

GAUZY + FLOWY, WITH A DRAMATIC BACK.
I wore this dress to Barristers' Ball, and I absolutely loved it. It's one of the most comfortable dresses I've ever worn, hands down. That back of the dress is what made is a showstopper, and if you want to show off your back, this is the dress for you. The one complaint I have is that the 2R was still too long, even with 5" heels (I'm 5'3"). Throughout the night, I was constantly holding my dress up so that people wouldn't step on it. Despite my best efforts, a lot of people still stepped on it accidentally, and my date even stood on my dress a few times without realizing it. As you can see, the white portions of the bottom of the dress started to get a little dirty, which annoyed me. All in all, I'd say that this is a great dress, but had I known that its length would cause some issues, I would've likely gotten another dress. However, if you're 5'5" and above, you likely wouldn't have the same length problems as me.

Vivid colors and flattering cut.
Incredible color and fit. I'm 5'3", and I wore 5" heels so that the gown just swept the ground. I received compliments all night long. Would highly recommend!

Body-con dress + sky-high pumps
Perfect party dress! Fit like a glove and was receiving compliments all night long. The one con is that it didn't stay up too well. I was constantly readjusting the top part to make sure that it didn't keep slipping down.
