...backyard chic & comfy!
I rented this dress for my best friend's wedding in Vermont. She opted for a tasteful backyard wedding. This dress was absolutely gorgeous. I found it quite flattering and comfortable. It didn't wrinkle (bonus!) and the side zipper cooperated. I'd highly recommend.

Super flattering & great for a summer wedding!
Like others mentioned, this lightweight dress is very flattering and super cute. I attended an outdoor summer evening wedding and felt confident/great in it. It runs true to size. 10/10 would recommend!

if only it arrived on time--loved it!
I had rented this romper for a summer outdoor concert. Unfortunately, there were shipping hiccups, and it didn't arrive on time (RTR handled it perfectly though). The material is surprisingly super lightweight for summer and very flattering. There is a built in bra that is supportive and the back cut out is flattering. The back cut out was a bit out of my comfort zone but it was so fun! Fit true to size.

Great fit, great color and great for winter!
I rented this for a work event gala and this was a great rental! The dress color is actually much more purple than the online photo leads you to believe but the purple is fun. The dress does run large and has some great stretch. I'm a taller gal and the dress fell right above my knee which was perfect. The dress was super flattering and provided warmth for a winter event. I would highly recommend this rental!

...affordable and a classic!
I rented this dress for a holiday work party and loved it! I was new to the office and wanted a more conservative dress. This dress was perfect. It fits true to size ans is great for staying warm in the winter months while showing off some skin. I was sad to return the dress.

...already bought this dress off Lilly Pulitzer's website after renting it!
Sorry for the shameless selfie BUT this dress fits true to size with a bit of stretch in the material. I wore this dress for a birthday dinner date and received so many compliments on the color and cut. I felt extremely comfortable and the length was appropriate but still sexy. I fell so in love with the dress, I already ordered it off Lilly Pulitzer's website. Hands down my fav Rent the Runway rental, yet!

Lightweight & Adorable!
The perfect piece of jewelry to a summer dress! The earrings were super lightweight and absolutely gorgeous. I had a bit of difficulty with the earring material and pushing it through my ear lobe but not a deal breaker.

Thanks for a great dress Tory Burch!
I wore this dress to my holiday party for work at an extremely fancy restaurant and was dressed appropriately. The dress was the perfect fit for it and me! The zipper and boning was comfortable and easy to use. The length fell mid calf with pockets. The pattern is super fun and I would rent this dress again.

I have a large rib cage and the dress wasn't a match.
I originally rented this dress to attend "The Nutcracker" for a date but unfortunately, this dress simply didn't work out. I absolutely loved the plum color but I have a large rib cage that did not work with the boning and the way the dress is designed. Also, my bust was not contained in the dress and was not appropriate. Regardless, the color was great and had I had the right size, I'm sure the dress would have gotten 5 stars.

...Lilly for the win, again!
I attended "The Nutcracker" for a date night and decided to do a rental for the event. The original dress I rented was not the right size for my body type so I decided to try this Lilly dress (thank you again RTR for the BEST customer service). This is my second Lilly dress rental and once again, Lilly crushed it! The sizing was true to size and I was able to wear tights under the dress with room to spare although very form fitting and skin tight. I had plenty of room in my bust area and shoulder area and the length was short but still very appropriate. Even though it's a bright pink, it surprisingly worked for a winter event (my shameless selfie and Christmas tree in the background). I'm fair skinned and the color worked well with my complexion too.

It wasn't my favorite rental but it was the right dress for the event!
I attended a cocktail attire rehearsal dinner in Northern New Hampshire and the sleeves saved me, big time! The color was super fun and the pockets were an added bonus. It wasn't my absolute favorite rental from RTR but it did the trick for the event. Runs true to size and I didn't run into any issues with the sleeves.

...originally my back up option BUT I loved it!
I originally rented another necklace for a black tie wedding but it was damaged and received this back up necklace instead. I'm so happy I did--it was fantastic with my dress and I was completely stress free with everything matching!

Perfect for a black tie wedding--fit like a glove!
With a few heart palpitations about size and matching necklaces that weren't available last minute, I was relieved to have this size fit like a glove and a great necklace for the event. The dress fit like a glove (true to size) , was extremely comfortable and the boning wasn't uncomfortable (surprisingly). I received quite a bit of compliments including one from the bride! For taller ladies (I'm 5'8"), I would recommend a lower heel since the R length was a bit short in the front for my liking (not a deal breaker).

Great color and fit--perfect for a summer RI wedding!
I rented this dress for a summer Rhode Island wedding and the dress did not disappoint! The dress is true to size, the pockets were a bonus and I stayed cool in the afternoon heat. I would rent this dress again and loved the cut, details and color.

I'm seriously considering buying this dress-I LOVED it!
I rented this dress for a quintessential Massachusetts summer rehearsal dinner event and received quite a bit of compliments about my dress. This dress runs true to size and was extremely comfortable. I am 5'8" and the length was perfect just above my knees. I probably could have gone down a size but went for comfort. I paired it with simple gold wedges and was ready to go with the fun gold piping down the front. You won't regret this rental!

I attended a bachelorette party and had the perfect party dress!
Another Rent the Runway success! I rented this dress for a friend's bachelorette party and it was a hit. The dress was perfect as it wasn't too tight yet just had a hint of being form fitting. The dress will definitely show off your legs and you can opt to not wear tights (like I did) and still are dressed appropiately. I had plenty of room/was comfortable in the bust area and arm area with no zipper issues. The only "negative" comment (hardly negative) is that the beading will get a bit itchy if you are wearing the dress for 10+ hours like I did. I would absolutely rock this dress again.

I attended a military ball.
I received so many compliments on this dress and the color truly pops more than the website leads on to believe. I am 5'8" and the R length size was perfect to show off heels with this dress and I loved the pockets. The only two (small) complaints I have were the zipper and the boning in the bodice. The zipper was difficult to use especially in the bodice region but with an extra set of hands, I was able to zipper it up! The boning absolutely helped make the dress but did get extremely uncomfortable after wearing it for 6+ hours. All in all, I was sad to return this dress!
