Lovely white dress
I rented this dress for graduation photos and it did not disappoint! The XS fit better, the S was a bit larger and longer on me. The one shoulder was very flattering and it's a great, blank canvas to accessorize! Some stretch made the dress very comfortable - I could have worn it all day and been happy.

Lovely winter dress!
This dress is perfect for a winter event! It runs small (I rented the 36R and 38R and wore the 38R as it fit better overall). I have a small chest but the neckline was flattering and not to low. I did wear a bra but I supposed it’s not necessary. The slit on the dress came up higher than I thought and was apparent when walking or sitting but it wasn’t indecent in my opinion. Overall the fit and feel is very flattering (especially with the cinched waist!) The dress is plain so it’s easy to accessorize. I received lots of compliments and it was a great dress for a winter formal event!

Lovely designer, as always
Trina Turk dresses are my go to! If you have similar measurements to mine, size 2 in Trina Turk dresses should be a win! I did rent and wear the size 2 in this dress, but honestly I could have worn a size 0 since this dress fits looser. The color is quiet but stylish and easy to accent. Again since I'm on the shorter side the dress fell lower on me than on the model but I did not consider it an issue. Great dress!

Flattering and flowery!
This dress was perfect for a spring/summer wedding! The rouched center is very flattering. It fits very true to size, almost like a second skin, so for the backup size I'd recommend a size up from what you normally wear. Since I am on the shorter side the hem of the dress fell lower on me than on the model in the picture but I did not think it was an issue. I did not need a bra with the dress which was nice!

Stunning coral dress!
I rented the XS and S sizes and firstly there is a huge discrepancy between these sizes! The XS fit me almost skin-tight compared to the S which literally hung on me like a potato sack! I decided to go with the XS since it technically fit better despite being slightly tighter. I was still able to eat and dance the night away comfortably! Received many compliments on the dress. I personally loved the color (coral looks good on almost everyone!) and the whole shape of the dress was very flattering. Would absolutely rent again!

Fantastic dress!
Firstly, RTR really came through - the event I needed this dress for was rescheduled a week later due to weather conditions. RTR was just a phone call away to fix that the dress was to arrive the correct week. This dress is overall flattering, comfortable, and simple yet elegant. You can see in the picture that I chose to accessorize with a large, silver statement necklace, but the dress is so simplistic in its design that I imagine you could accessorize with just about anything and it would look great. I am short (5'2") and even with 4" heels the dress brushed the floor a bit, but this did not hinder me walking in the dress at all. The dress ran a bit large on me (I typically wear a 2, I wore the 0 in this dress and still had room). The fabric is thick and forgiving enough that I did not need to wear a bra and it covered any "muffin-top" parts around the stomach! I have broad shoulders and I was worried the sloping arm pieces would accentuate my shoulders too much... but really the dress looked great overall! There is not much stretch to the material, which was fine since the dress ran a bit larger on me, but I imagine if you are between sizes the size up would be better. I received so many compliments on this dress! Absolutely fantastic rental!

Fantastic dress!
I love Trina Turk dresses and this one did not disappoint! I am relatively short so you can see the dress falls lower on me than on the model; I am also relatively small in the bust area so the dress was overall loose fitting. This was to my advantage though since I did not need to wear a bra (the fabric was thick enough but not too thick for attending a June wedding!) and it left me plenty of room to move and eat comfortably. I wish I could have kept this dress - it was one of my favorite rentals from RTR!

Beautiful metallic dress
Overall this was a beautiful dress. The picture with the model makes the dress appear silver but in real life it leans towards a metallic bronze/silver which turned out to be hard to match to my husband’s bow tie! I wore the 2P which was true to size to slightly larger. I was wearing 3.5in heels and the end of the dress still brushed the ground to the point where people were stepping on the dress throughout the night! The shape and one shoulder were super flattering except for the flap of fabric right over my stomach. In general the dress was super comfortable, perfect for the navy ball, and received lots of compliments!

Great LBD!
Thank goodness I read the reviews - this dress runs SMALL! Based on reviews I ordered a 4 and 6 (when I normally wear a 2!). The 4 fit me like a glove...and also was so short I didn't feel comfortable dancing the night away. The 6 was roomy on me but longer so I went with the bigger back up size to have a more comfortable evening. Despite wearing the "roomier" size I still received many compliments and felt that this was a great LBD for a bachelorette party!

Graduation from veterinary school
This dress was absolutely lovely. I received many compliments (once the graduation gown was off!). Everyone was jealous of the pockets - huge perk to this dress! The material is heavier, so I may have gotten away without a bra, but I wore one anyways and it was fine. I found that the dress almost hung on my frame, in that it was sort of loose (especially around the waist) but that was a good thing since there is NO stretch to the material. As you can see, the dress comes lower on my leg than the model on the picture since I'm 5'2", but it was a totally acceptable length! Overall, loved it and wished I could keep it!

Beautiful dress!
This was a great dress for the formal event my husband and I attended! I received a gratuitous number of compliments, and everyone was surprised when I told them the dress was rented. ;) Fit is true to size, maybe even a tad small. I have broad shoulders and a wide ribcage for someone my height, so the dress was a bit tight under my arms, but nothing uncomfortable; there is also no stretch to the dress. What others say about the difficult zipper is true - my husband had to help zip me in! The slit is a good height, not too revealing. I ordered the 2P and 4P but I'm not sure that it was indeed a "petite" length - I wore 4.5" heels at 5'2" and the 2P dress was still skimming the floor! BUT many people admired the way the dress kind of "flowed" behind me, so the length was do-able. Another great experience with Rent the Runway - I will continue to rent and recommend to others!

Awesome dress and company!
Firstly so sorry for the bad photo! The great thing is that this photo was the worst part of my experience - everything else was flawless, timely, and overall wonderful! The dress fit perfectly (it was definitely true to size for me, even a little roomy!) and the color was fantastic. I'm fairly short (5'2") so the dress was basically below my knees, but I was fine with that. Would recommend this company to anyone!
