Classic!
I could have worn the small or medium, but went with the small since I was wearing high waisted button fly jeans. It was super cute and warm to wear. I wore it to work on casual Friday and received lots of complements. I also wore it out to wineries that weekend.

Perfect dress for an American-Indian wedding!
I worked this dress to an American-Indian wedding instead of getting a sari. I wore it for the Indian ceremony with the gold sequin jacket shown and then removed the jacket for the American style reception. It was a hit! I hate saying this, but I couldn't stop checking myself out in the mirror! Perfect fall color and just enough coverage for the weather.

Fun dress for Mehndi!
Dressed this down for a Mehndi party with a suede jacket. The size 8 fit like a glove. Size 6 zipped, but was a little too tight in waist and hips. I'm a 29inch waist. I didn't want to take this dress off! So fun and flattering! Will definitely rent again.

Complements upon complements... but weird sizing
LOVE LOVE LOVE this stunner. However, the sizing seems a bit off. I'm a 29inch waist and the 6 was too tight to zip without giving me back fat rolls. So, I had to wear the 8 even though the top was too large for my 34D chest. I'm only 5'2" and wore 4 inch heels. The length was perfection. I would definitely recommend this dress if you're looking to have fun, feel confident, and make people envious.

Perfect for a new mom!
This. Top. Is. Everything. I didnt want to take it off and actually rented it a second time for Thanksgiving. I recently had a baby and my body is still a work in progress. This hides everything but still makes you feel beautiful!

I could live in this dress!
It fit true to size for Cynthia Rowley. It hides any lumps bumps and the fit is gorgeous on any body type. I am very short waisted so there was a little extra pleat in the chest area; I think it was supposed to be hitting me lower up top. However, once I tightened the straps, it was barely noticeable. Beware of the boning! It is plastic and made its way out of the fabric under the arms. I put some scotch tape on that area and was good to go though. The straps work wonders, but if you aren't completely toned you will have some back bulge in order to hold the ta-tas up. I just accepted it for what it was and rocked this dress! As per usual with RTR, I received complement after complement and I couldn't have felt more amazing. I wish I could wear this dress every weekend!
Cherry Red Lace Halter Dress

Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6

I didn't want to stop wearing this dress!
I'm 5'2" and the 6R was perfect with a lower heel. I received a ton of complements on the dress. It was very comfortable, high quality, and easy to wear. I'm a 34D and no bra was needed for me. The 4R fit well in the shoulders, but I decided to opt for the 6R because the waist of the 4 gave me back fat. The only downside to the dress was that the clasps in the back kept coming undone so I had to ask friends to reconnect them. I would definitely rent this again!

Unlike any other dress!
I ended up wearing the 4 without a bra because the 6's back gapped, but I wish I wore backless bra for extra support. I was unsure about wearing the dress for a wedding because of the color, but it was totally appropriate. Overall a fabulous showstopper that I would wear again!

You need this romper!
I am in love with this romper! Everyone at the bachelorette party just kept saying how much they loved it throughout the night. It's super flattering and I felt so confident in it! The only problem I had was keeping the straps under the lace up.

Complements upon complements
This dress is stunning!! I was really nervous about wearing the cut out, but it was super flattering. I did have to size up because of the waist and the length was a tad long. So, I wore high nude pumps to help with the dress length. The material is medium weight and hides any lumps and bumps. This was one of the most daring dresses I have rented and worn, but I could not have made a better choice. No one else wore anything like it and the dress highlighted my recent weight loss! I haven't felt this confident in a dress in a long time, so it's a win in my book!

Perfect statement piece
Great necklace to rent. I wore it to a bachelorette party. It is VERY fancy, so it can dress up the most simple outfit. I didn't notice if it was heavy, so I guess it wasn't!

Nice dress, but lackluster
Fit was great. I'm between a 6 and 8 and went with the 6 as the shoulders in the 8 were too wide on me. The print is gorgeous and lining works well, hiding undies and any body imperfections. Although, I was disappointed when I saw the dress as it had no shine to it whatsoever. The photo is very deceiving- this dress is cotton with no sheen and best worn for outdoor wedding, bridal shower, etc. not a nighttime event. I dressed it up with a necklace and earrings to make it work. I'd rent it again, but for something more casual.

Easy dress to wear
Both sizes fit, but I went with the 6. I received a ton of complements and spread the RTR love. Easy is the best way to describe this dress as it was a simple black dress with a little embellishment that was comfortable to wear.

Surprisingly tight
I forgot to select a backup size (I wish RTR would prompt you with an "are you sure?") so I was stuck wearing the Medium when I truly needed a Large. The Medium barley zipped, but still looked pretty decent. The dress is short, really thick, and would have been perfect on me one size up. I'd definitely rent this style again.

Perfect statement dress
This dress is gorgeous. Both the 6 and 8 fit, but I went with the 6 as the tighter fit was more flattering. The 8 bunched right under the bust on me. Every dress I have rented from RTR has been flattering - they really know which styles to keep in stock. I highly recommend this dress!

Great dress. I got a lot of complements on it throughout the night.
The 6 fit very snug to my body. The size 8 still had a snug fit but for some reason looked too big. The size 8 was also more "worn" with some pilling and a couple of snags. So, I went with the 6 and it worked out perfectly! This was a great first experience with Rent the Runway.
