Cute red-print dress
This dress was rented for my engagement party in August. I liked how well the top fit but the bottom half of the dress was kind of full. It poofs out from the waist which was too much volume for my short frame. It was a comfortable dress though.

Perfect sunny A-line dress.
I adore this little yellow dress. The cut was pretty much perfect. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because of how tight it was in the ribs.

Sweet dress for engagement pictures.
I wore this dress for my engagement pictures. It runs large but is pretty tight in the bust. Thankfully the straps are adjustable. It also is a short (which is saying a lot because I am only 5'4"). I was happy how the color of the dress looked in the pictures. The hem on the front of the dress showed the lining and I did have to keep pulling the lace overlay down. The material is also worn. Overall it is a nice dress for a casual occasion.

Comfortable and timeless.
This dress was rented for a conservative/traditional Catholic wedding. The length and neckline were perfect for this event. The dress did run slightly large. It was a little loose around the waist and bust (the usual problem for a pear shaped lady), but was perfect in the shoulders and hips. I did wear a bright necklace to make the dress a little more interesting.

Perfect for Roaring '20's Halloween Party
I wore this dress to a speakeasy bar in San Francisco with a large group of friends dressed up for Halloween in 1920's costumes. The color and sequins were very unique. It was a little shorter than I had anticipated and it was a struggle getting in and out of cabs without flashing! It was also pretty low cut and required a lot of fashion tape. It probably would have fit better on someone with a larger chest. Overall though, I was happy with the style of the dress, it went with our theme perfectly!

Bright coral color was a stand-out
I wore this dress for my birthday weekend in Las Vegas at XS nightclub. I really liked the color, and I had previously rented the same Nicole Miller dress in the black/nude version. The dress wasn't in the best condition when I got it, it had some wear on the lace overlay. It also was a little tighter in the shoulders for me, but overall the fit was good. I would strongly suggest wearing spanx with this dress :-)

Best Birthday Party Dress!
I adore this dress. I wore it for my birthday in Las Vegas and got many compliments. Two of my other friends tried this dress on as well and it looked great on both of them (two very different body types). Some other reviews said the slit was high on them, but I didn't have that problem being only 5'4". Unfortunately I didn't have a picture of the back of the dress, which was fabulous. I would definitely recommend this dress, it is very flattering. I have rented many times through rent the runway, and this one is in my top three. I almost didn't want to send this dress back!

Fabulous dress!
I was really impressed by the colors on the dress and I loved the bow detail on the back. The shape was very vintage inspired. The overall fit of the dress was pretty good, although the bust and shoulders were pretty loose on me. Otherwise, no complaints!

Beautiful dress for summer wedding
I was really happy with the cut of this dress and the high-low hemline. The length in the back was perfect for my height (5'4") and worn with heels. The dress photographed well and I got many complements. The only reason I gave this dress 3 stars instead of 5 is the condition the dress was sent to me. The size 2 (which I didn't wear), had water stains all along the back of the hem, lots of wear and tear, and basically just looked dirty at the hem. I was lucky that the size 4 was in better condition, but still had a few small snags on the top (not too noticeable). I was just a little shocked that RTR would send someone a dress in that condition. I would suggest looking for another dress if you are a size 2.

Floral print stands out in a crowd.
This dress was actually great for an outdoor wedding. The print is beautiful. It had a very vintage look to it. I felt that the length was a little too long (I'm 5'4" and the dress hit just below the knees). I'm glad I had a pair of 4" heels to wear with the dress. The fabric was a little heavy, but I was happy with the fit of the top.

Adorable cat dress
I wore this to my birthday in Las Vegas. The length was actually perfect for someone with short legs like myself. The back of the dress was lovely. Unfortunately RTR did not have a size 2 available the weekend I rented and I was stuck wearing the size 4. The top was a little loose and I had to use fashion tape. I would definitely recommend this dress for someone petite.

Although the dress didn't fit as perfectly as I wanted it to, it still looked decent and I had a good time anyway...
I was kind of disappointed in this dress. I had to wear the medium because the small was too tight around my hips and butt. The medium top was too big and I had to use style tape and tuck the bottom under since it was too long. Also had to wear shape wear with it since its very form fitting and will show any flaw. Probably not a good option if you are pear shaped.

This dress was pretty comfortable and was able to dance all night in Las Vegas in it!
The dress was a nice color but I had trouble with the fit. I'm 5'4" and 120lbs and normally wear S/M. The small was long on me and was kind of loose. I cinched it with a belt. Overall it was okay but I could have gone with an XS.
