Super Cozy But Ran Large
Oh how i wanted to love this dress! It is beautifully made and not itchy - the knit has such a nice heavy feel to it. I rented a Medium (as I'm a curvy size 8) but it just was too much fabric around the waist to be flattering on me. If i had gotten a small it would have been nice.

Wish I had ordered a Medium!
I think I just got the size wrong - I am an 8, and went for a large rather than a medium. The fit was strange around the shoulders - it sort of flattened my chest while having too much room in the shoulders. I don't think I'll rent this again, but it would look amazing on someone with a different body type. (I'm a bit of an hourglass shape.)

Whoops! Check the sizing information, and possibly order down.
I ordered a size that was waaaay to big for me - I'm an 8, and I was just swimming in a size 44. I honestly might rent this again in a 40. The dress is beautifully made, and I love the details on the sleeves (which everyone else raves about.) Check the size chart before you order!

Super Cool And Fit Like A Glove
I ended up buying this. This is the most charming dress ever. I'm curvy, and I felt like the dress hugged me in and accentuated my waist and curves. Paired with opaque black tights and booties, it was such a great outfit. I love the detail of the collar and the flower pattern. It is SHORT, but felt fun, not trashy.

A Night Out AND Christmas Eve At Church!
I loved this dress - everything about it! The drop waist with the ruffles is so, so chic. I love how it was short in the front and just slightly longer in the back. I wore this with black tall-heel booties and black opaque tights. Absolutely got so many compliments from my family over Christmas.

My backup dress was beautiful, but not a winner.
I never want to call anything a backup, but this simple black one-shoulder was my "just in case" dress as my other one was a bit more of a fashion risk. I am somewhere between a 6 and an 8, but the 8 ended up being the tinest bit big -- I could have easily sized down. In addition, it didn't emphasize my waist as much as I had hoped. The rusching added a little more thickness than I had wanted. A lot of people warned that the middle part was tight, but just go with your size and you should be fine.

Got tons of compliments all night on this striking, modern, unique dress.
This was my first Rent the Runway experience and I was so happy! With my bust size, the dress top was a tiny bit tight for me, but it still looked stunning. I could have probably gone one size up. I absolutely loved the color of the waistband, and the bottom of the dress was flowy and beautiful -- very pretty walking down the stairs. Do beware -- there is a slit in the back that is quite high and could show more than you want in the breeze. (You could take care of it with a few temporary stitches in the seam with black thread.) The dress photographs beautifully, especially if you have a little bit of a tan. Overall I was VERY happy with this dress and felt great all night.
