Pretty but tight across bustline
The dress is really pretty and I liked the unique hem a lot. The back is quite low so take into consideration as you may not be able to wear your normal bras. I didnt end up wearing it as the dress fit everywhere except the bustline, even when I went a size up from my usual size. It just felt a little too tight to be comfortable. I went with a back up dress.

Lovely dress, but SIZE DOWN!
This dress is really lovely. The pink was a little brighter than in the picture but I still really liked it. I'm really glad I read the other reviews about sizing down because my usual size was HUGE. Particularly in the bust which was surprising as that's where I usually find dresses to be too tight. Even sizing down I felt gaping at the top of the dress and was a little uncomfortable. It didnt feel like it was going to fall down since it fit everywhere else but I definitely felt like it was gaping all night and I kept finding myself readjusting it to try to keep everything covered properly.

Beautiful bridesmaid dress.
The dress was beautiful and the color was great. I was given the option to wear any gray full length dress as a bridesmaid. This was actually my back up dress, but thank god I got it as my first choice did not fit right at all. I usually am a 4 or a 6 depending on the brand and the 4 fit but the 6 was definitely more comfortable. so if youre borderline size up. my big frustration with rent the runway is that i feel that they really dont cater very well to shorter women. I usually avoid this by only renting short dresses, but this was a bridesmaid dress for a wedding so I was required to do full length. The dress was beautiful and i loved it, but even in heels I was tripping everywhere. By the end of the evening I had tied the dress up because i just couldnt handle it anymore. I'm 5'2 and the regular says it caters to that size, but realistically it does not unless you're wearing 4 inch heels.

Wasn't able to wear this dress. Had to go with my back up.
I loved the photos of this pictures and I even ordered up as many of the reviews advised. Unfortunately ordering one size up was not enough and the size above that was not available. The dress is very unforgiving especially in the bust. it actually fit in other areas but im still a bit top heavy following my last pregnancy and this dress just couldn't accommodate. Luckily, I ordered a back up and the back up fit fine. Its a pretty dress and color, but the sizing is just so off I can't recommend. Its too hard to know how many sizes up youll need to go and renting it limits you to just one alternate.

A great fun dress for a formal event.
It was lightweight and fun. It was true to size. Im still nursing and am a bit top heavy because of it, but this dress was fairly forgiving to my post-baby body and had a little give in the right places. I even tried the size 6 to be sure and it was a little baggy in places. The sequins are a little itchy under the arms, but otherwise the dress is lined very well so there was no itching underneath. Would recommend.
