Striking red color, fun back

Wore this to my sister-in-law's rehearsal dinner. Got lots of compliments on such a fun dress! I wore a sticky bra since you can't wear a regular bra with the dress. It worked out pretty well, even for my large cup size (DD/DDD) because the dress itself helps with a little support. The dress is very thin, so I had to put bra inserts between the dress and the sticky bra so you couldn't see the lines. I felt the dress fit true to size. I loved the bright red color!

Gorgeous colors

I got this romper to wear to a birthday dinner out with my family and our friends. I have a large chest and rib cage and had trouble getting the back zipped up. I got it, but it was tight. My tummy is a problem spot, and the romper greatly accentuated that area. Since size 12 is the largest size, I didn't have a backup. I tried to get a replacement, but couldn't find the Replacement link through the app, mobile website, or regular website on my computer. I emailed Rent the Runway, but no one ever responded. In the end, it was okay because my daughter got sick, and we had to cancel the dinner. I wish I hadn't wasted my free birthday gift though. If my tummy hadn't looked so horrible, I did have enough support with the built in bra to not wear any kind of bra (not that you could anyway). The colors are gorgeous and vibrant. I loved the material. I've rented three to five times per year for the past few years and this is my first bad experience. I'll definitely keep on renting.

Gorgeous color, runs small

I loved the color of the dress, so pretty!! I normally wear a 12, but sometimes a 14. I wish there was a 14 in this one because I felt like it ran a little small. It was tight at my armpits and my hips. I'm rather busty and loved not having to wear a bra because of the way the bodice was built. The lace was very pretty too! I got lots of compliments, especially wearing it with my cowboy boots (for a barn wedding). Overall, a great dress, just wish I could have sized up.

Beautiful colors, perfect for spring!

I am either a medium or large in most dresses and wore the medium in this one. The tie in the large seemed twisted, making it fit a little tighter in the top. The medium fit perfectly. I wore a belt to accentuate my waist, but I could have gone without and been just fine. A strapless bra worked perfectly with this dress. The dress is light and super comfortable. The colors are bright and fun and perfect for spring! I wore the dress to a Derby Day party. I loved it so much that I wore it again to church the next day! Another happy Rent the Runway experience!

Super fun and SO many compliments!

I wore this dress for a rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. This is one of my favorite dresses ever! The size 12 fit much better than the backup size 14. My bra showed the tiniest amount in the arm holes, but it wasn't noticeable enough to be an issue. I definitely needed a bra in this dress. The colors are beautiful, and the pattern is so fun and unique. I got compliments all night long! The cut really accentuated my hourglass figure. The dress was very comfortable all night long (and it was a late night). Definitely recommend this dress!!

Beautiful cut in the back

I received this dress as a backup since the backup size for my original choice was unavailable. I loved it, especially the cut in the back, but since my original choice fit, and I liked it slightly better, I had no occasion for which to wear this dress. I was sad that I didn't get to wear it. I may have to rent it again! I read that the dress runs large, so I ordered a size down for my backup size, but my normal size (12) fit best. That being said, on both sizes, there was a small amount of bunching just above my waist. It wasn't super noticeable, but bothered me a bit. I think I have a short torso from the way several dresses have fit me. I didn't feel like the front of the dress did me any favors, but I loved the back. The lace is beautiful. Another great RTR experience!

Beautiful color and cut

I felt so thin in this dress! It fit me like a glove and was perfect for a bridesmaids' luncheon. I could not get it zipped with my bra on, but it fit fine without it. I'm pretty large in the chest, and it held them up just fine without my bra. The color is gorgeous and pictures just don't do it justice! Wish I could have kept it!

Perfect fit! Lots of compliments!

I'm losing weight right now, so I'm a bit difficult to size. I normally wear a size 12, but can wear 10 or 14. Based on reviews, I got the size 14 as my backup. They both fit very well. The size 12 was a bit tight in the shoulders/sleeves, but not uncomfortably tight. The 14 fit well there, but was a little baggy over my hips. It was also a little lower in the front and showed more cleavage. I was already a tiny bit uncomfortable with how much was showing in the 12, so I went with the 12. The cleavage showing wasn't too bad, but I wore the dress to preach a sermon at church, so I felt pressure to be modest. The lace over it concealed the cleavage enough that I felt okay. I loved the length. It was perfect for the occasion. The color is absolutely gorgeous. I got so many compliments on the dress. The worst part was sending it back!! This was my first Rent the Runway experience, and I would definitely call it a success!!
