Sophisticated sexy
I love this dress. It was very fitted, but comfortable. It had an okay amount of stretch so I was able to fit into the 4 with my size 6 hips. I had to wear seamless panties, the material was thin enough that normal panty lines showed. It was very covered, so it was very appropriate for many different occasions, but it showed off my figure so it was still sexy. I'm pretty small on top, so I loved the draping neck that gave me more shape and size up top. It gave me more of an hourglass figure that I have, I'm pear shaped. I was able to go braless since the draping covered my chest anyway.

Love the print
Clover Canyon dresses are made from neoprene (scuba suit material). It's very thick and stretchy which makes it very forgiving. I could have work either the S or the M, they both looked great. It's also doesn't breath much, so don't wear it anyplace hot. The dress rode up a bit when I walked so I had to keep pulling it down.

Gorgeous, and so comfortable
This dress was pretty effortless to wear. Didn't have to adjust all night. Fabric is very heavy, but it doesn't look too thick once it's one. There's a lot of built in padding the the bust, and it seemed like the bust was stretched out (or maybe it's just how the dress is made), but it gave the impression that my breasts were much larger than they are. The regular would have been a better length but it was unavailable. I kept getting my 2" heels stuck in the train with the longer length. I'm 5'6.

Never had so many compliments
I rent a lot of RTR dresses, but nothing so far has elicited so many compliments. The skirt has so much fabric and the way it fans out when you move is like something out of a perfume commercial. If you can get it to fit right in the bust, the deep neckline is stunning. I felt so gorgeous. On the downside the fit was not great. The 4 was unbelievably tight around my waist, I could barely breathe, and yet it was still too large in the armpit area. I had to do some clever taping to make sure people couldn't see a ton of side boob through the puckered top. The 6 fit correctly around my waist but the bust was hanging off me. I opted for discomfort because it looked so amazing. The regular length was perfect at 5'6 with 2" heels. The back just brushed the ground.

Comfortable and moved well
I love chiffon and the way it moves. The cut of the skirt makes you look so tall and the ruching around the waist gives a great silhouette. This was one of the most comfortable dresses I've worn. Both the 4L and the 6R fit well. I went with the 6R because I decided to wear flats that night. I'm 5'6.

So elegant
I wore this to the ballet. It was so lovely, the cut makes you look so tall and slim, I can't believe I didn't take a photo. The pattern was the perfect way to stand out without being showy. It was a tiny bit tight while seated, size up for backup.

Elegant and sexy
This was my first choice dress, but the 6L was returned damaged so I was given just the 4L and a backup. The 4 was too tight in the waist and hips and caused the slit to open way more than intended. The 6 probably would have been perfect, I'll have to rent it another time. The long length was perfect for me at 5'6 wearing 2-3" heels.

Looked great in motion
Such a long dress! This was a replacement when my initial choice was unavailable at the last minute. The long length in this dress is ridiculously long. I'm 5'6 and wore 3" heels and I was tripping over it all night. The lining was a bit tight over my hips but it wasn't obvious because of how flowy the outside is. The top was a bit baggy, not too bad. The belt had been sewn onto the dress on one side so it couldn't be removed and replaced with something dressier. Overall a beautiful dress.

Super Sexy and Comfy
So sexy! Loved the plunging neckline, the bejeweled collar, and the leg slits. When sitting my whole leg was exposed and it looked more like wearing a dress than a jumpsuit. Fabric was stretchy which was necessary for my size 6-8 hips in a size 4. The long was totally necessary. I'm 5'6 and wore 4" heels and it was a bit short. Perhaps because it was on the smaller side I found that when sitting it pulled downwards and made the collar a bit tight.

Thick fabric, no stretch
This dress is not for girls with hips. I'm typically a 4 on top and a 6-8 in the hips. I rented this in a 6. It fit reasonably well on top, but I could barely walk with my legs smushed together, the stretched fabric was not attractive, and the slit wouldn't sit flat. As others have said, the fabric was my least favorite thing about this dress. It was thick, didn't sit nicely (puckering, wrinkling) and generally didn't look or feel nice.

Comfy, kinda ugly
They do what they advertise: they're comfortable, seamless, and they stay in place. They came up a bit high, and were fairly wide in the front, so they're not particularly sexy if you plan to strip down to them later in front of somebody.

Looks amazing, unbelievably comfortable
I picked this up from the Rent the Runway store in Las Vegas for a night out. It had just the right amount of sparkle with some sequins, but a lot of the dress was covered in matte sequins and beads, so it wasn't an overwhelming amount of sparkle, and it had great depth of color. Looked great with bold black accessories. It was super comfortable, a bit stretchy, no scratchiness around the seams, once it was on I forgot all about it.

Chic, gorgeous, comfortable
I love this dress! A bit pricey, but it was worth it. Surprisingly comfortable, much more so than the short Hervé Léger dress I also rented, since it's not tight around the legs. Very heavy, thick, elastic material, but it sat very comfortably on top and the regular was the perfect length with 2.5" heels (I'm 5'6).

Fit like a very tight stretchy glove
Stretch lace is just the best thing since sliced bread. This was super tight but very comfortable. I never worried about it riding up too short or popping out the top. However it is super low cut, if you're busty you may have popping-out issues. With my Bs/Cs it was just enough cleavage to be sexy without being the only thing one could look at. I never had to rearrange anything all night, it just stayed perfectly in place.

Sexy and Chic
This is the first romper I've ever worn. I was worried because I'm a size 2 on top but size 6 on the bottom, but this fit great. Somehow the small fit perfectly, even around my hips. The shorts weren't too short or tight. The top opened quite low, so I wore it with a lace camisole underneath and it was perfect. The only issue I had was when trying both sizes on. The zipper gets quite stiff opening lower than the waist, so I thought it was opened all the way. I had a hell of a time trying to squeeze the waist-sized opening over my bum, and that was with the medium! Once I figured out that the zipper opened much more I was able to try on the small and it fit perfectly.

Nice, a bit tarnished
They felt heavy when I first put them on, but I got used to them pretty quickly. The design is very nice, the only thing I didn't like was the gold appeared tarnished. I wore these with the matching Gold Drift Cuff, and the gold color didn't match. The cuff was bright, sparkly yellow gold, but the earrings were dull.

Fitted, flattering, comfortable
Gorgeous dress, excellent quality. This dress stood out in a room with 5 other ladies wearing RTR dresses. The rose embroidery demands attention, while the neckline keeps the dress classy. Nicely fitted, just a bit of stretch, even with my size 2 bust and size 6 hips, I was able to fit into the 4R and it looked perfect from head to toe. It felt a bit snug in the hips, but not too bad. I was soon dancing away and didn't feel restricted by the mermaid cut. Big busted ladies should probably size up. The regular length was a bit short, but I like short heels so it worked. I'm 5'6, and I wore 1" heels and it was perfect.

LOVE this necklace, I wished I could keep. Not as big as I thought it would be, but the jewels made it pop. It was the perfect size and cut to wear with almost anything.

Bright, comfortable, fits great
Runs large, I typically wear a 2 or a 4, but I wore the 0. Fabric is super soft, unbelievably comfortable. The narrow cut shoulders really enhances a small bust. Material is less shiny than the photo made it seem. Needs a bold necklace to make it pop.

Thick, non-breathable material got hot fast
Dress is made of scuba suit material. It's thick and snug and does not breath. I loved the print and the fit and felt sexy, until I started overheating and sweating my makeup off. Will not be renting Clover Canyon again.

Gorgeous, fitted, felt sexy and sophisticated
This is a slim fit dress with no give in the fabric. I'm a size 2 in the bust but a size 6 in the hips, and I wore the 4. It was a little loose on top and super tight in the hips. There was a roll in the lining where it was pulled too tight. Wore it anyway, loved it, but grateful I didn't need to move much in it.
