Unique dress
I rented this for a fall wedding. The fabric is beautiful. I usually wear a size 8, but based on reviews I ordered both the size 8 and the 6. The 6 fit, but the skirt was a bit snug so it kept riding up. I chose to wear the 8 because even though it was a bit big on top, the skirt fit better. This is definitely a large bust friendly dress. If you have larger hips/thighs you might want to stick with your regular size instead of sizing down.

Cute and fun dress
Wore this dress to a wedding. The fabric is very lightweight, and the print is pretty and vibrant. The dress fit well, but because it is a sheath dress, it was a little tight at the bottom near the knees, making it hard to go up or down steps or get into and out of the car. The dress fit well overall, although felt more snug when sitting down. Adjustable straps are a big plus.

Cute but nothing special
Cute top, nice fabric, but pretty basic. Probably would not rent again.

Neck is a bit wide
I liked this top but the neck hole seemed pretty wide as it showed my bra straps (which is not ideal for a top I am wearing at work). The fabric is pretty thin.

Just ok, won't rent again
The print on the blouse is pretty but the fabric seemed to hold smells. As soon as I put it on, it smelled musty and a little bit like body odor. I would not rent it again. Even if the fabric didn't smell oddly, it was not anything special.

Great dress, but long straps! Size down!
I loved this dress. It's so lightweight and comfortable. I would rent it again but would size down to a 6 as there was plenty of room in the 8. The straps were way too long on me - I had to safety pin them about two inches shorter.

Love this shirt!
Rented for work. At first I thought it was going to be way too small but a medium fit perfectly. I like that the length is a bit shorter since I am not very tall. The shirt is soft, comfortable, and classy! Will rent again and would even consider buying it!

Beautiful color and pattern
Loved this blouse. The colors are so vibrant. It fits well but if you are busty you may need a camisole underneath.

Cute blouse
I rented the size 10 based on other reviews and the recommended size. The 10 fit fine (and I have broad shoulders and my bust is on the larger side) and I had plenty of room to move around. I probably could have fit in the size 8 as well. The top button kept coming undone so that's why I took off one star. As long as you are wearing a camisole underneath it shouldn't be a problem. The pattern and color of the blouse is beautiful and it was very comfortable.

10/10 will rent again
I absolutely loved this dress and I got a ton of compliments! I'm usually a size 8 in jeans and clothing, and a dress size 10. The 10 fit perfectly. The straps were a little long/loose, but it didn't take away from the look or bother me at all. I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath and it didn't show. I will definitely be renting this again

Almost perfect!
I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner. Based on the reviews, I ordered sizes 10 and 12. The 10 fit perfectly and the 12 was way too big. This dress is definitely cut for curvier figures - I have a larger bust and hips and I still had more than enough room in both of those areas. The only thing I didn't love was the way it pouched around my midsection. I had planned to wear spanx but realized that mine were too long and were visible through the back slit so I had to scrap that idea. I definitely would have felt more confident if I had them on! The color is gorgeous. I needed to wear a strapless bra underneath. I paired this with nude heels and turquoise earrings.

Unfortunately didn't fit
The dress itself is beautiful but the proportions did not work at all for my body. I am 5'4" and it hit mid-calf, which was not very flattering on me. It also gaped way too much in the chest and neck area. Maybe if I had ordered a medium, it would have fit better, but unfortunately I couldn't wear this one.

I got so many compliments all night long!
This was my first time using Rent the Runway and I selected this dress to wear to a wedding in early June. I am usually a size 8, but ordered both an 8 and a 10 based on other users reviews. The 8 fit, but I felt more comfortable in the 10 so I ended up wearing that one. The dress was comfortable with a good amount of stretch. It does hug your curves, so I wore spanx underneath just to smooth everything out. I felt sexy yet classy and I got a ton of compliments all night long! One of my friends is now going to try this same dress for a wedding she has next weekend. I paired this dress with gold jewelry and nude strappy heels. I would highly recommend this dress and would order it again!
