Fun for a warm destination date night!
This romper was a nice change of pace from wearing a dress out for a fancy date night. The shorts are really well constructed (which I loved), but they have no give, so if you have wide hips I would size up for that. The wrap top is really tough for a small chest like others have said, but I was also able to make it work and get it to stay in place with clothing tape. I just wouldn’t wear this for a long night out because you’d have to readjust the whole top of the outfit every time after you’d have to take it down to go to the bathroom.

Fun, cute and comfy for a night out!
I wore this for a date night in Miami and it was really fun. I will say the straps are really long, if you have a small chest or short torso especially. I had to adjust them all the way tight (and also wore my most padded strapless bra). The extra fabric in the front chest area that dips down sometimes sits weird as well. But other than slight critique, I loved wearing it!

The perfect stretchy black party dress!
I love the cut outs on this dress, and the amount of stretch it had to look so form fitting but was also so comfortable to wear all night long. The size small was perfect to fit over my wider hips and cover my butt just right! My chest is smaller so the straps felt a little loose but didn’t look it and stayed in place no problem. I was able to wear a regular strapless bra with it, which was also great! Highly recommend this dress for a fun night out!

Love this dress for a formal wedding!
I loved wearing this dress and got so many compliments at a formal summer wedding. The colors and material are so lovely, and the front leg slit and V-cut neckline in front and back added just the right amount of sexiness without too much on display. The built in cup padding in the front was great so no bra needed, but I did still use a little sticky tape to make sure it didn’t shift (since I have a smaller chest). Being 5’3” the dress would have been too long in Regular size, but luckily they had a 2 Petite option that was fine right for my height with average size heels and I just had to be a little careful not to catch it underfoot going up and down stairs. The the fabric would bunch up a little at the top of the slit in the front (I think due to the under layer riding up on occasion), but I could pull it down and easily adjust as needed. Highly recommend this one!!

Super fun cut-outs and color!
I got the small and XS in this dress and ended up wearing the small as the XS was too tight to even get over my head. The small fit perfectly in length over my bigger butt and in my smaller chest area without being too tight or too loose. I was able to wear a backless sticky bra with clear middle clasps without it showing through the cut outs which was also great! I got lots of compliments on it for a night out in NYC and my fiancé told me I should buy it! Highly recommend.

Comfortable knit skirt, but not the most flattering for wide hips.
The horizontal stripes of this skirt are not the most flattering, especially if you have wider hips like I do. But it is nice and stretchy and comfortable for a day out to brunch or even to wear to the office. I would size down if you are not sure because of how stretchy it is. I will also say a bit too casual looking for a fancy night out if you pair the matching top, but still fun!

Comfortable knit top for summer!
I love the colors and knit fabric of this top. It was slightly loose in the front for my flatter chest (because the XS wasn’t available so I had to rent the size Small for the date I needed). But overall I would recommend it, especially if pairing with the skirt.

This dress was really fun for a winter night out!
I fit in both the XS and Small. These pics are of the Small but last minute I changed to the XS to go out so that the bottom would sit tighter and flatter around my hips. That did make it a bit shorter where I had to pull it down a bit as I walked but wasn’t too bad. You can wear a regular bra even though open back (as long as wide straps), which is also great. Top is more sparkly in person than in pics and doesn’t feel scratchy or bothersome at all!

Such fun shorts to wear with matching top for club night out!
I did size up as recommended in these shorts (wore Medium instead of small) and it actually made them sit better at my waist and they were extra flattering and comfortable that way! The color and silky material gave super Euphoria vibes - perfect for a trendy summer night out in NYC. I’d wear them in every color with matching top. So much fun!

Such a fun Euphoria vibes top!
I highly recommend renting this top with the matching short bottoms to make for a really fun complete outfit. Was such a fun color and outfit to wear for double date/party night out in NYC. Sometimes neon yellow/green color looks lighter or darker in shade depending on the lighting, but I didn’t mind! The top is padded and felt very supportive (at least for my smaller chest) so I didn’t need another bra underneath which was great too!

A nice blue velvet dress for a winter event!
I love the ruched sleeves and dark blue color of this elegant velvet dress. The sleeves do run a bit tight as other comments said so I opted to wear the small instead of XS and it was not bothersome. Size small was the perfect length as well (short but not too short). I could just wear a regular bra which was nice. Diamond jewelry really pops with it. Highly recommend for a formal winter event!

Perfect for a Thanksgiving event!
This dress has colors and material that were perfect for a date night in NYC to celebrate my birthday before Thanksgiving. It was warm enough but it too hot and the velvety material super soft. If you have bigger hips I would size up as I could not even get the XS over mine, but the Small was great!

The best magenta romper!
I loved the fit of this romper - from the flow of the shorts to the fit on my upper body. I just had to wear a more padded strapless bra to fill it out better with my flat chest but that was an easy solve! I love the fun little cut out in the front too. Perfect for summer!

Fun sparkles for a night out!
I liked the darker pink/reddish color sequins on this dress. And I got a lot of compliments out at dinner! It's pretty thick where you could do without a bra but I chose to wear some stickies for extra security. (Would be hard to wear a strapless bra because of the low V in the front.) I also opted to wear the size small instead of the extra small because fit similarly in the chest area luckily and small was more comfortable around my mid-section and gave me a bit more length in the back.

A fun, sparkly, formal dress that will show off some curves.
I rented this dress for a formal wedding and I loved it. The colors and sparkle were great without being too much. The black straps meant easy to pair with black heels and I got to show off my curvy hips in a nice way. The size small would have allowed me more breathing room, but I had to wear the XS because the straps and bust were too loose in the Small (with my small chest and shoulders). The straps are not adjustable so be careful there. But you can wear a regular strapless bra so Yay!

Great summer event dress with pockets!!
This dress worked really nicely for my bigger hips! Very comfortable for a summer wedding rehearsal dinner. I also loved the pockets!! I would suggest wearing a little extra padding in the chest to fill it out more if you are smaller chested there like me, but otherwise you don't need a bra because there is built-in padding (which is another great feature)!

Another fun Vegas dress!
I love the shoulder pad structure and gun metal color of this dress. It has sparkle but not too much, so perfect for a night out where you want a little shine but don't want to look like a mirrorball. I could wear a regular bra with it and opted to also use a couple pieces of clothing tape to make sure the open V in front didn't shift. I like the look of the bottom cut of the dress for wide hips like mine, but the fabric did ride up a bit so I had to pull it down as I walked (only downside).

Great LBD with with fun sleeves!
I rented this dress for a night out in Vegas and it was so much fun. The sleeves would slide down every once in a while off my shoulders but other than that mostly stayed comfortably in place. You could go without a bra because of padding in dress already, but I wore a push up to give my small chest a bit more. The body is great stretchy material and perfect length to look short enough for the club, but long enough to cover my bigger butt and not ride up. The best LBD with fun fashion sleeves!

Great long sleeves for a winter affair, with a touch of sexy in the front!
I wore this dress for a fancy birthday dinner out in NYC with my boyfriend. It is lightweight fabric but kept me warm enough on a chilly evening with full coverage in the back and long sleeves. Nipple covers and clothing tape were a must on this one, but I had no problem with the dress staying in place and I got lots of compliments on the low front V. I loved the fun colors and patterns on the dress, as well as the shoulder pads. A great sexy winter dress.

Be careful of the working buttons all the way down the front!
This dress is so cute but I couldn't wear it for my dinner event because of the buttons pulling apart too much in the front of the dress since I have a bigger butt for my size. I knew it would be tight around the bottom but, based on the lack of dress description, thought the buttons were only decorative on top of the front fabric (with zipper in back as described). Well the buttons work and stretched open at the front loops to reveal a gap. Size XS is best for small bust AND narrow hips.

The perfect dress to wear to a summer wedding!
I love the color, design detail, and structure of this dress! It fit perfectly for my small bust and wider hips. I could have gotten away without a bra, but chose to use inserts from one of my bikini tops for a little bit extra in front and they stayed in place all night just fine (with a little clothing tape just to be safe)! The tan under layer of this dress can blend well with multiple skin tones and though that part is shorter, you could not tell underneath the intricate outer layer.

Fun winter sweater for work or family gathering!
I wanted a fun sweater to wear for Thanksgiving dinner and this worked! I rented a size 36 and back-up 38 and opted for the smaller size just so it was a little bit more form fitting around my neck, but either size really would have worked. I wore a thin T-shirt underneath because it is a little scratchy, but then was perfectly comfortable with that extra layer. It is surprisingly warm as well.

Perfect winter dress for a fancy NYC dinner!
I rented this dress for a fancy dinner out in February in NYC for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a great stretchy material so the XS fit my curvier hips just fine and was perfect for my smaller top half. I could wear a skin toned strapless bra and not worry about it being able to really show even if it popped up a little under the cut out area. It was a nice length so not too short as some of the XS dresses can be on me if they creep up, and it was nice and warm for a colder night out.

Fun spring dress to wear to a wedding!
Others reviews I read about the top of this dress were correct that it's a little too loose and sticks out a bit on the sides, but I still really like it overall. The pattern is fun and the skirt is so flowy and comfortable. I could wear just a regular strapless bra with it and full underwear which was nice and kept me comfy all night long. Fair warning - the black middle band has no give (it's not elastic) so I had to wear the small so I could breathe. I like the black accent pieces though because made it easy to match a black clutch and black heels.

Perfect for a Date Night in Vegas!!
I love this dress. It was great for my body type (smaller chested and wider hips). It was flowy on the bottom so I could have danced all night in it and didn't have to worry about it creeping up on the bottom like a lot of the tighter dresses I've worn. The material is thick enough where I don't have to wear any kind of bra and felt perfectly comfortable. Love the color and sparkle too!!

Great dress for a night out in Vegas!
I wore this dress for a date night out in Vegas with my boyfriend and love the look of the back. The length was great too so it didn't ride up with my wider hips. I only used pasties and have a small chest so it was ok, but I would have felt more comfortable with a backless bra instead to just add an extra layer in the front because the material is not that thick. I would wear it again!

The perfect formal dress if you have a flatter chest!
This dress got so many compliments at a very fancy October wedding I attended! (Probably my highest amount of Likes ever on Facebook lol.) It's somewhat simple, yet super sophisticated, is a great deep purple color for fall or winter, and the side cut outs are just the right amount of sexy thrown in. I have a small chest so low-cut gowns and certain strapless bras can be problematic for me, but I didn't have to wear a bra at all with this dress because of the great structure around the torso and thick layer of fabric in the front. (I'm usually around a size 2 in everyday clothes but a 0 in this dress ensured the top was nice and snug without any lose fabric on the sides.) I also have wider hips so it can be a challenge to find a gown that is small enough on top yet can accommodate my bottom half and this dress was perfect for that too. With the pockets (which are also amazing!) the bottoms flares out just enough at the waist to still look form fitting yet be comfortable to move and dance in all night long. I'm also pretty short at just under 5'3" so the petite length was perfect where a low heel would have been fine, but I was able to get away with cute sandals to be more comfortable (since you couldn't really see my feet anyway). I've had success with every dress I've ever gotten from Rent the Runway, but this is my favorite so far!!

The perfect comfy cute summer dress!
This dress is so light and comfy for a summer event outdoors! I wore it to a wedding in August and could move in it with ease and felt great all night long. If you have wider hips like I do, the ruffles are great to tone down crazy curves. The only thing that would have made it better is if I had a bigger chest so I filled out the top more and then the straps wouldn't have slipped as much. It definitely has some stretch and runs a little big so I would size down. It looks great with nude heels.

Fun sparkly dress for my Vegas birthday!
I love it the sparkle on this dress! Normally I'm a size 2 but since this dress is stretchy and I'm pretty flat chested I opted for the 0 so it wouldn't be too loose in the front or shoulders. It fit great up top and was thick enough in front where I didn't have to worry about a bra with the low back. It is a bit short so I constantly had to make sure to keep it pulled down as much as I could over my bigger bum, but I managed and had a great time in it! If you like black and gold shine, this is a great party dress!

Fun little dress for Vegas!
I rented this to wear in Vegas for my birthday celebration with the boyfriend in November. The thicker material was perfect for the chillier weather that time of year. Like some other reviews have said it did fit tighter by the shoulders and butt and then had some extra fabric in the stomach area but it didn't look too bad. I also have a bigger butt so had to make sure to keep pulling it down most of the night since tighter there (but that is a problem for me in really any dress haha). Other than that the fit was great, the color was fun and I highly recommend it to rent!!

The ring was pretty but not necessary against the amazing dress.
I wish the ring was a closer size to my small fingers or could collapse the down in size because It kept falling off throughout the night. But other than that it was pretty and fun.

The gown fit perfectly and was so comfortable yet fancy at the same time.
I felt so glamorous in this dress that I wore to a black tie wedding. The stretchy fabric allowed for a perfect comfortable fit. I will say to order down a size because normally I'm around a size 2 and ended up wearing a size 0. Also if you are 5'3'' or shorter, definitely order the petite or it will be too long. I wore two inch heels with the 0P and it was perfect. I only wish I had taken more pictures in it! It was hard to send back!
