This dress is elegant and fun!
Wore this to an afternoon wedding at a cathedral. The bottom pleats and "flowiness" of the dress make it elegant, comfortable and allow you to dress it up or down (I accessorized with very simple gold accents). It fits true to size, a little snug in the chest area depending on how top heavy you are, and the bottom did a great job hiding my "mom pouch". I find with EVERY RTR dress I've had...the zipper is very stiff and requires two people and a few seconds of holding your breath, I think because they are plastic and maybe the dry cleaning stiffens them. Would definitely recommend this one!

Classy dress with vibrant color
I rented this for an evening awards dinner that turned out to be a surprise wedding! I agree with other reviewers that the dress runs small, so definitely rent your actual size and one size up because there's not much give or stretch to the fabric, which has more of a quilted/woven feel. The color is a vibrant blue, and the shoulder strap in the front and back drapes across giving the dress giving it more of an elegant look and regal feel. Pair this dress with some gold, silver or even green shoes and accessories and you're good to go! One thing though is the zipper is VERY stiff! You'll need someone to zip and unzip you for this dress.

Simple and stylish bracelet that adds a nice touch to any formal or casual outfit.
It's a cuff bracelet so there's no bend or stretch in the fit, should just slip right on your wrist.

Very classy and stylish
I rented a dress from RTR that is patterned, so I wanted to wear minimal jewelry as to not overpower the dress. I look at the Gaia Green earrings and another pair, but these seemed more like a match. They arrived in a hard cased box with a small velvet divider and they looked even nicer in person. The earrings look classy and had just enough color in them to make the added "pop" I wanted. Although they look and feel a little heavy, they were comfortable to wear. I paired them with a House of Harlow Gold Textured cuff, and a Felix Rey gold clutch (all from RTR).

Could have worn this dress all day and night!
I ordered this dress for a wedding taking place on a yacht, with a reception at the yacht club. I was worried it would be too casual, but as soon as it arrived, I knew I'd made the right choice! The colors really pop on the dress, and there is also a hint of blue in the design. It's light, airy and very comfortable, I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night! I received many compliments on the dress and proudly told people I rented it from RTR. I agree with some other people who mentioned the top being a little loose. I wore a strapless bra, but still found myself pulling the dress up at times. Double sided tape can fix that (I didn't have time to get any!) Since the dress is patterned, I went for simple accessories. I rented the Gaia Green Agate Earrings by Kendra Scott, which were perfect because they are green and gold, but don't over power the dress. Pink, solid gold or even light blue earrings would also go well with this dress. I liked the bracelet on the model, so I rented the same one, which is a Gold Textured Cut Out Cuff by House of Harlow 1960. The gold bag is Gold Zip Me Up Clutch by Felix Rey. I wore my own shoes, which were gold strappy heels from Nine West. Renting everything took away the hassle of me having to go out and buy things separately, and the return is so easy and stress free!

It was so easy and stress free to rent from this site! The dress was great, delivered on time!
I heard about Rent The Runway on the Today Show, and decided to try them out for a formal event. I requested the dress a few days before the event because I was worried it wouldn't be delivered on time, but it arrived on the exact specified date! The dress came in a garment bag, which you can keep, and a pre-paid packaging box with easy instructions on how to return. It was also helpful that the website send me email reminders about when to return. The color is JUST as advertised! Mint green with gold flecks. It's very light weight and airy, sweetheart neckline and flowing bottom. I received so many compliments on the dress, and I proudly told people I rented it! I ordered a 10R and wore it with gold high heels, but it was still touching the floor, which meant I had to pick it up from dragging on a few occasions. I'm 5'7 and I recommend anyone my height or even a few inches taller to get the Regular and not the Long. The only con I have about this dress is the zipper. It gets stuck easily, which makes zipping it very tricky (definitely a two-person job!). I was scared of ripping the fabric or breaking the zipper because it didn't feel very sturdy. I plan to rent another dress from this site later this summer!
