Comfortable. Beautiful dress, got many compliments and was easily one of the stand out outfits!
I’m typically a “plus size”, so I’m used to dresses fitting a bit snug - however this dress shows every lump. You can’t rent this one without a spanx and a solid bra (or if you’re confident enough, I’d also suggest forgoing the bra all together).

Pretty & Simple
I was looking for something pretty & simple to go with my bridal gown (pretty lavish) and the earrings I also RTR'd. This was very beautiful, pretty much what I expected, could've been slightly looser for comfort, but fit just fine!

Perfect Earrings for a Bride!
I wore these earrings for my wedding and they were a HUGE hit. So elegant & sparkly, I received tons of compliments - they were worth every penny. I am used to wearing all sorts of earrings, so it didn't bother me at all but note these earrings are a bit on the heavier side. A must rent for any formal occasion!

Rented for my Bachelorette party in NYC - Nice Dress but Overall Disappointed
I've rented a few dresses now with RTR, this one was definitely my least favorite. The dress is SUPER short. I didn't find the sequins scratchy at all though, it was pretty comfortable in that aspect. It would have looked terrible without a spanx. I would not recommend this dress to someone my size. My maid of honor actually swapped dresses with me halfway through the night... and we were more comfortable that way (we both had RTRs). Overall the dress made me feel special and sparkly in the dark club environment -- but in bright city lights, I didn't think it worked well with my figure. This is the first dress I'm also not posting a picture of myself in, because it just didnt look right in pictures. I normally wear a 12, but I've found with RTR, I usually more of a 14 -- I was grateful I ordered the 14 & 16 after reading some of the other reviews. Had I not been traveling from DC to NYC for the weekend, I would've called the RTR fashion emergency line to swap dresses with one that was more flattering.

Perfect Classy Bridal Shower Dress
This dress was absolutely stunning, I got nothing but compliments all day! I wore it to my bridal shower. The dress was a bit tight on me, so I will warn anyone that may be thinking about renting -- make sure you get a size up, there is absolutely NO wiggle room. That being said, even though the dress was a bit snug, it looked so beautiful on me I HAD to wear it. The lace detail was beyond gorgeous and it has a little silver shimmer to it as well.

Gorgeous Necklace! Such a statement piece.
So I had originally rented this necklace to go with the dress I also rented for my bridal shower. When I got the necklace it just didn not quite go with the dress (two different styles), however it didn't go to waste... my step daughter rocked it with her outfit and she looked absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this necklace if you want a big & bold accessory.

Would have loved to wear this dress however I was unable to zip it and wear it.
I typically fluctuate between size 12-14, this dress was not available in a 14 and sadly it it did not fit. This was my first rent the runway experience and customer service took great care of me getting me a second dress for my event. To it's credit this dress was beautiful and had it fit I would've worn it!

Classy Wedding Dress
I really enjoyed this dress! It was my second choice after the first one I received didn't fit. I was impressed with how fast RTR was able to accommodate me with an alternative! I got tons of compliments on the dress, it was easy to dance in, and overall it just made a statement. It was nice to be one of the only people not wearing the usual black dress too. The fit in the arms was slightly tight, but it didn't prevent me from feeling comfortable all evening.
