Beautiful & comfortable dress
I received nonstop compliments on this dress. Great for dancing. Overall the fit is true to size, however the straps ran large & were loose in the back. Regardless, I loved it & wish I owned it.

Received tons of compliments
Loved this dress. I think it actually looks dressier in person than in the photo. I wore this to a work fundraiser and received compliments on it all night. It was great for a work event because it is conservative, but still super cute and made me stand out a bit. I wore the 8 (my usual size) and it was true to size, but just slightly big on me on top -- though that tends to be my problem in dresses.

Beautiful, dainty earrings
I love these earrings! This is now the second time I have rented them. They're the perfect size and gorgeous in person. They were also very comfortable throughout the night. And for only a $5 rental?? Amazing. Will absolutely rent again.

Cute & comfortable dress
This dress was perfect for a belated Valentine's Day date with my fiancee. It looks exactly as pictured. It was a bit large for me on top, though I was still able to wear it without a wardrobe malfunction. I probably would have been better in the 6, but it wasn't available as my backup size. But overall - this was a very cute and comfortable dress that I would recommend.

Looks different in person
This is the first time I've received a dress from Rent the Runway that I wasn't thrilled with. In the photo, the dress appears to be ivory (and it even says so in the product description), however in person it is more of a cream/beige color. Also, it it WAY poofier than in the photo. I'm a big fan of tulle, but unfortunately it poofed out so much that it made my hips look extremely wide & made the dress quite short. I am a B-cup, but this dress was very snug on top. I couldn't wear a strapless bra with it and still zip it up - had to wear it bra-less. This is not an issue I normally have in dresses since I am on the smaller side up top, so I can't imagine it would be easy for someone with a large chest to wear. I ended up returning this dress for credit from RTR instead of wearing it. Luckily they are super easy to work with & great with customer service. So I will still definitely rent again -- just not this particular dress. :) If you're going to rent this dress, I would absolutely size up.

A bit larger than expected, but still beautiful!
These earrings were a bit larger than I was expecting, but I still loved them. I wore them to a friend's wedding and thought they were perfect for the occasion.

Cute & comfortable
I wore this dress to a bachelorette party and it was perfect the occasion - fun, flirty and very comfortable for a night of partying. My only complaint is that it was very short. It was a chilly night, so I wore black tights with it any way... but if I didn't have the tights I probably wouldn't be comfortable wearing it out in public since it was so short.

Received compliments all night.
LOVED this dress - felt glamorous and received compliments all night. I did have to wear a larger size because of the lace that is attached to the arms and chest area. Normally dresses are too big on me up top because I'm pear shaped, but this dress was the opposite. However, I did truly love this dress and I felt gorgeous in it. I would definitely recommend it to anybody - just order a size up!

Flirty, fun & comfortable.
I wore this dress on a Valentine's Day date with my boyfriend. It fit true to size. Within 5 minutes of getting out of the car, I received a compliment on this dress. It is adorable, the zipper in the back is very high quality, and it was very comfortable and easy to wear.
