Light formal summer dress!
It does seem to run small, but also stretches out a bit as you wear it. It will need ironing, especially the neckline and the bow on the back. No undergarments required. Boobs stayed in fine (I have a big chest). Perfect for a hot summer wedding.

Size down and you'll be great!
I'm normally a 6. I read the reviews and I decided to do my "free second size" as the 4. The 4 zipped up nicely. The straps were a little long- not bad. It has a little string/snap contraption hidden under the dress straps to attach/hide bra straps, which I thought was a nice touch. I was able to wear a bra and the straps did not show at all. The fabric isn't very structured so I didn't get enough support braless. The colors were fun. Length and silhouette were a little conservative for my liking, but I did get a lot of compliments and I loved being able to wear an accent heel. My husband said it was his favorite rental!

So fun to wear!
The 10 is pretty much a 6 in US sizes. It fit like a glove. The fabric was structured enough where I didn't need a bra. It was low cut, but I thought it made my boobs look good. I wore it to a fancy wedding. Loved the sleeves. Loved the color. Photographed well! Would rent again :)

Watch out for the nip slips
The last rent the runway dress I ordered was a tight six, this was the same. I'm guessing that is my true size (144lbs, 34D). I read many of this dress' reviews about the cleavage etc, and being a 26 year-old that wanted to look good for her boyfriend's graduation I thought, "perfect!" I ended up having to wear a U-bra specifically made for plunging necklines. There's not much to the bra and even then I would look down and see it sticking out! I don't like fiddling or thinking about what I'm wearing too much so frequently checking on my boobs and sitting up and standing perfectly got a bit annoying. Overall it looked nice, maybe a tad riskay for a graduation that my boyfriend's family was at. The side ruching and the back of the dress look fabulous. Great color and fun to accessorize with.

Back was a pain. Should have gone a size up.
I wore this to an Education Foundation silent/live auction for the high school I work at. It was classy and I enjoyed how I felt in it. With that being said, as others have all mentioned, the back strip was VERY long. I bought fashion tape after reading the reviews but it was too much fabric and I ended up having to use pins to reduce the length (which were sticking into my back by the end of the night). If you have a very long torso this might not be an issue. After reading the reviews, I thought I would fit into a four; I barely squeezed into a six. The waist was very tight on my hourglass frame. It is good to note though that I am a 34D and the chest was not constricting. I could even wear a normal bra, I just hiked it up a bit in the back. Although, as most chesty girls can attest, high-necked fashions are not the most flattering. I rented this with my free birthday credit. I enjoyed the flirty skirt and the quilted fabric, but I would not rent it again.

Unique dress that got a lot of compliments. Fun to dance in. Appropriate length and fabric for Nov.
This dress is meant to hug the body. It's long enough that I felt comfortable skipping the hassle of finding no-show undies and went without. I typically wear a M (size 6-8 dress size, 34D), but the small fit better. The cut outs on the top go VERY low, and I was not able to wear a black bra with straps like I had intended because the cups showed so much. I ended up wearing strapless, which made my boobs stay down and less bra showed. I still had to do quite a lot of "pulling up" to make the top of the strapless bra not show, especially in the beginning of the day when I was the reader in church. It made it difficult to "smooth out" the middle of the dress because the pulling down would cause my bra to show. As the night continued and I started dancing, I didn't have to pull the dress up anymore because the strapless had slid down a bit and wasn't showing anymore. My friends and boyfriend really liked the dress, and I did feel very sassy dancing in it. With that being said, I didn't like how long and wide it was on the bottom (I'm 5'6" and wore 4.5" heels). It ended up being a more conservative look than I had intended it to be.
