Beautiful Dress - such a shame I couldn't wear it!
I bought this dress for a Bachelorette weekend in Vegas that didn't end up happening. I'm so sad that I couldn't wear it because I tried it on and it was absolutely beautiful! Even with all those sequins it was not itchy as well. It would have been perfect for Vegas :).

Perfect Bachelorette Dress - If you want to be the center of attention, this is your dress!
I rented this dress for my Bachelorette party. Definitely get a size up as a backup. My arms wouldn't even fit in the large. At first I was a little uncomfortable because although the XL fit in my arms and up top, it was a bit loose around the middle. However, I got compliments all night and seeing the photos, I'm really happy I went with this dress. Sexy and warm enough for a fall Bachelorette party, but not too short. I do RTR for most special occasions and have never been disappointed!

Not your run-of-the-mill black dress!
I wore this dress for NYE 2016 and I wanted to wear black, but also wanted it to have some pizzazz. This absolutely fit the bill! It's very flattering and the high-low feel with the spidery design is oh-so-fun!

Adorable dress - loved the skirt and neckline
I did really like this dress, it just didn't have the wow factor I've had with recent RTR experiences. Because of the delicate material, it was snagged in places. The fit for me was perfect - I didn't even have to go up a size because of my big boobs (which probably means it runs big for flatter chested girls. The shape was really flattering to my hourglass figure. I completely forgot to take photos that night, which is why I don't have one to share.

I felt like very elegant in this gorgeous dress :)
This dress was a little tight up top despite going a size up, but it looked great on me. I felt like a million bucks. I ended up being overdressed for a more casual wedding but I'd absolutely rent this one again. Absolutely gorgeous!! I wanted to keep it.

Didn't end up wearing it but beautiful dress!!
I didn't end up wearing it because it was too small in the boobs and I had to exchange it for a different dress in store, but for $30, this is amazing quality. But if you're big up top, definitely go a size up.

Made me look and feel like a million bucks!
Runs small, so I'd recommend going a size up, especially if you're busty. I generally have to go a size up in dresses because of my boobs, but even then the 12 was almost too snug. Still, it was an absolutely stunning dress. It looks expensive and I got compliment after compliment. I'd recommend this for a wedding or holiday party, so beautiful. It doesn't need too much extra jewelry/accessories - I just had one bracelet, earrings, and bone colored heels.

Beautiful color, flattering - lots of compliments!
This was my first Rent the Runway experience and I was very impressed. I'm glad I got 2 sizes. I had to go a size up because there's a side zipper, and for anyone who is bustier side zippers are your enemy! But still true to size because this happens to me all the time. It was a beautiful blue color. It didn't need very many accessories because it was beautiful by itself. I got lots of compliments! And Rent the Runway's service is amazing. I had some issues sending it back on time because of Labor Day weekend and they were so understanding about it. Definitely recommend!
