I rented these dresses from my 3 Bridesmaids and I'm SO glad I did. I've actually had four other people ask for details on the dresses, so here it goes: We rented each size of the girl and a size down and they decided what worked best for them - 2 wore their regular size and 1 sized down. I had the dresses delivered to me on a Thursday in case there were any issues and thankfully there wasn't. From left to right, they wore a Size 2L, size 4R, and size 2R. The bridesmaid on the left is 5'9 and the long was perfect on her, the others are 5'2 and 5'1 and with heels the regular worked great. These gowns photograph beautifully, and from what the girls told me were surprisingly comfortable, even under the armpits. Yes, even the smallest girl wore Spanx to smooth everything out but I didn't think they needed to. The compliments were endless and each of them felt gorgeous. Overall, this is a MUST-RENT!

If you are scared of color, this dress is NOT for you. If you are scared of being center of attention, this dress is NOT for you. It is a WOW-factor kind of dress. Pictures don't do this dress justice. It's comfortable (minus the inside slip which runs much tighter than the outer dress - hence only 4 stars) and super fun. I paired with nude pumps, Turquoise Kendra Scott earrings, and bangles. I received SO many compliments and would definitely rock this dress again!

This dress is ahhhhh-mazing! I would BUY this dress, that's how much I loved it. The color was bright and perfect for a summer wedding. The neckline was incredible (think silver and pearls - which is what I accessorized with). I put my hair up so you could really see the beauty of the neckline and that made a huge difference. The dress flows nicely so dancing the night away is no problem. The material is a little thin, so if you have a tan bra opt for that instead of white. There's a tiny slit in the front but you don't really notice it. I found the fit of the 10L to be a little better, but the 12R was in much better shape and the dress is pretty long as it is. This is HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE dress I've rented from RTR!

I'm constantly between a size 10 & 12, and ended up wearing the 12 to be more comfortable. I'm 5'7 and I loved where the dress hit me. The bold pattern was great because you didn't need extravagant jewelry - the dress itself is a statement piece. It also was very forgiving. I took a star away because the slit was pretty high in the back and the dress got very wrinkled (I sat for a total of an hour - 30 at the ceremony and 30 eating dinner).

I was torn between this dress (which by the grace of Rent the Runway was a replacement since another dress I ordered was damaged) and a short dress for an outdoor fall wedding in Florida. I went back and forth and asked opinions from everyone (including the bride). Not a single person chose the other dress. This was a knockout...I received so many compliments, it was super comfortable, and the fabric is very forgiving. The armhole sleeve was a little snug at first but I barely even noticed it as the night went on. The fabric does bunch on the side where the zipper is, but nobody except myself seemed to notice. It's a bit of a high-low dress on the bottom, but it's very subtle. Do yourself a favor and give this dress a try, you won't be sorry!
