Loved this for a formal NY wedding in March. The fabric is thick and a bit stretchy, the rich color got so many compliments. Tea-length (5'6", 120 lbs.) on me. I usually wear a 2, sometimes 0 or 4 depending on designer - the waist on 2 was a bit tight, 4 was still pretty snug. The neckline was lower than I'm used to but I made it work with a low-front bra and very useful clips for my bra straps (that were in the size 4 but not the 2). Recommend!

I LOVED this dress. I wore it at my own wedding as my reception dress - short so I could dance but definitely dressy. The gold is so eye-catching and flashy in a good way - it received a standing ovation! Comfortable, hangs and swings nicely because the sequins make it a little bit heavy. The back is not too low - I wore a regular bra (and needed to - it wasn't fitted enough to provide support) , I just had to pin the straps in place so they didn't show in the keyhole back).

Great, understated LBD with a fun neckline and a thick, matte material. I'm a 0 or 2 depending on the brand. The 2 fit comfortably, not too tight with a little bit of stretch. I could have done a 0 to be a bit more sleek if it had been available. Because this is structured, it might not hang very well if you get a size too large. Hit me right at the top of the knee.

This dress was beautiful and expensive-looking! I'm lean and usually wear either a 0 or 2 depending on the brand. This dress hit my knee exactly and fit snug but not tight - very easy to move in and sit in. The lining and ribbing was nice, I went bra-less and felt totally fine (thick lining and lace covering) - the open back is gorgeous. Be careful because the lace can snag on jewelry (rings, necklaces). It fit in perfectly for an Early Fall wedding in Northern NJ.

This dress was sparkly, sexy and perfect for a cocktail-attire holiday party! It wasn't as flashy as an all-glitter or all-sequin dress, but was festive. Warning - VERY tight and would show every bump or lump if you're self-conscious, because it really hugs curves. I couldn't even get the XS on it was so tiny. Definitely put this dress on BEFORE doing any hair, make-up or deodorant, because you have to squeeze the whole stretchy thing over your head and torso. Side note - I ordered the gold scroll RVN dress but the size S was damaged so a stylist picked this out as the "next closest thing" for me the day before. The little order issue went off without a hitch, and it ended up looking quite similar to the original style! Loved it!

I got so many compliments on this dress! It was classy, form-fitting, and the colors are stunning. I rented it for a "cocktail attire" early October wedding, which did end up being rather chilly because it was outdoors. It would be fine for a summer wedding and I added tights and a wrap for the early Fall. It is made of a shiny and soft printed silk (not woven like I had thought from the picture). The dress is quite tight and narrow - I'm quite slim but and if I had any hips at all I wouldn't have been able to get it on. I'm a 0 in some sizes and in skirts and usually a solid 2, 4s are a bit roomy. In this dress, I barely squeezed into the 0 and couldn't move in it. I slipped into the 2 and it fit perfectly, but I still had to hike it up in order to sit in it because it has zero stretch or give. A 4 probably would've looked fine on me rather than roomy. Also want to mention that I had a great first Rent the Runway experience after hearing about it for a long time!
