Fabulous Fit and Color!
This is a perfect dress to rent because the fabric stretches to hung the body. I tried on the small and medium. The small looked much better because since it was smaller, it cinched in the waistline. I wore Spanx for a little extra help as well as adhesive bra cups. The back is much too low to wear a regular bra. It was a very flattering fit and my husband was very enthusiastic. I've looked at Herve in NM and admired the bandage style however I could not justify spending all that money on a dress I would wear only once or twice. This was a dream come true because Rent the Runway generously allowed me to rent any dress for a rental price up to $250. Why? I really don't know. But I chose this one. The color is great. All my experiences with RTR have been extremely positive.

Business in the front;Party in the back
This dress runs fitted in the hip area. The stylist recommended I choose a 6 as my second size. She was correct. The six looked much better. The neckline is cut wide. I would recommend wearing either a strapless bra or one that is perhaps a Demi cup to avoid the top of the bra showing. The nice feature was snaps in the dress straps in which to hook the bra straps preventing them from falling. I loved the cutout in the back. It made it more of a party dress than it appears in the front. The greatest detail on this dress is the COLOR. It is a fabulous shade of green.

Feminine Style
This dress is a departure from my usual style. However, I wanted to wear something a bit different to a daytime event. I received many compliments and it was a pleasure to wear it.The dress arm holes are cut deep, making a strapless or a convertible style bra necessary. The arms and shoulder area become a focal point when wearing this dress. It is more fitted in the top area then becomes a looser fit through the waist an hip area. The hemline fell just below my knee. The style is very feminine. The colors are wonderful and the photo does not do the color variations in the fabric justice. I would highly recommend this dress to those of average height or taller.

Better in person!
It looks so much better in person. It adds a fun element to a look. I added this piece to my first RR order. I was very pleased to see that it was much better quality than I anticipated.

A nice dress but runs slightly large
I chose this dress for the strap detail in the front. I thought it gave visual interest. The general fit of the dress was large. I usually wear a 4 in most styles. After reading other reviews I ordered the 2 as my back up size. The 4 was large. It was noticeably large in the chest area because that is the area on this style that is intended to be more fitted. The 2 fit more snugly but the crossing strap was uncomfortable in that size. I ended up wearing my usual size by wearing my daughter's PADDED strapless bra to fill out the top. The problem was solved. The dress is very pretty. It is a mustard yellow as a previous reviewer stated. The length of the dress hit me about mid knee. The fabric was had a woven pattern giving it an airy feel. It is a very nice dress. But get prepared with a padded strapless bra, just in case.

It is fun to anticipate what will be sent.
I chose the stylist surprise as part of my first RR experience. It was fun to anticipate the stylist's selection. I was sent Kate Spade earrings which were a lovely complement to the dress I had chosen. It would not have been something I likely would have chosen. But the point was to wear something different. The item chosen was a $15 rental so it worked out to be the same price as the cost of the Stylist surprise. I did choose this option again on my next RR rental arriving in two weeks. I wonder what will be sent? Maybe one of those beautiful Channel braclets perhaps? It's very fun.

Attractive and lightweight
These earrings were very substantial in appearance but were remarkable light weight to wear. I wore them for an event that was four hours long and I forgot I was wearing them. I usually stay away from larger earrings but they came as a Stylist Pick. They are much more attractive in person. The bottom stone in each row is on a link which give them some movement. I would definitely enjoy wearing them again.
