Lovely dress for my civil wedding
I rented this for my small civil wedding ceremony. The size 0 fit comfortably and was not too snug. I am 5'3'' and around 110lbs. I am a smaller in the chest (32A) and found the draping fabric to be very flattering - the top could probably accommodate larger busts as well as it was a bit loose on me but not very noticeable. Overall I loved this dress and felt great in it on this very special occasion!

Weird fit
Should have listened to reviews. It fit fine up top (better for smaller chests) and in the sleeves but the cut of the bottom is strange and leaves you very exposed. I had to wear a slip underneath and use fashion tape. But in general this was underwhelming, as it looks better in the photo than in real life.

Oversized in a bad way
Couldn't wear this - it ran way too large. The proportions are off - it is cropped yet wide.

Fun and flowy
Great flowy midi dress. Dress is probably flexible for different sizes since it has a tie waist but probably not great for large chests since it is low cut. Definitely needed safety pins and double sided tape to keep the top from gaping open.

Pretty and flowy
This was a nice, comfortable dress for a backyard wedding. It was a bit loose in the chest for me (32A). The top lay nicely when standing but I should have pinned it closed so it wouldn't gape while sitting or dancing.

First Marc Jacobs bag
I had always wanted to carry a Marc Jacobs bag - this was a great first one. The color is pretty and I liked that it could be worn crossbody, handheld, or in the crook of the arm. A little small but held most of my things for work/everyday and I was reading a slim book at the time that I just slid in the pocket in the middle. Probably not great for women who want to carry everything and the kitchen sink with them every day.

Gingham trend - on point
Very cute shorts, fit perfectly and very comfortable! I wore them all over the place during the summer.

Lovely summer pants
I held on to these for a long time. They were so fun and breezy. Slightly snug but not enough to be too uncomfortable. The linen was great for summer and they could be dressed up or down.

So many compliments!
I got many compliments from colleagues and strangers about this dress! The color is beautiful and bold. Sadly it ran slightly large on my petite frame (32A, ~110 lbs). I'm short so it wasn't too scandalous for work but I could see the length being a problem for taller women if they're trying to wear it to the office.

Fun but professional
Great blazer. I'm petite with a small frame and narrow shoulders and I get nervous about blazers swallowing me but this looked great. I paired it with a navy sheath dress one day and navy slacks another day. Good summertime office wear that can also go into evening/weekend!

Fun take on a classic shirt
I was nervous this shirt would look too oversized on my small frame (petite, 32A) but I found it very flattering. I wore it with shorts, jeans, and even to the office on a Friday. It was versatile and cute. I even loved the sleeves which aren't usually my style.

Cute - wear everywhere/do everything dress
Perfect midi skirt. I wore it to the office, to a museum, with sneakers, on a trip out of town. Super versatile and comfortable.

Tight tight tight
Rented this for a formal wedding but could barely breathe when I put it on, so I ditched it last minute for something more comfortable. This dress is NOT forgiving, and the size larger was more comfortable but slightly too loose.

Cute dress, not for small chested women
I did not end up wearing this dress. It was very large in the chest area (I'm 32A) but perfectly fitted in the middle (~110 lbs). The length was also not too short on me (5'3''). I was planning on wearing it to a wedding but even a super padded bra wouldn't have made up for all the extra fabric on top. Online it looked like a red dress but in person it has more pink/fuchsia tones.

Easy, polished, professional look
This dress was fitted but not too tight so I felt comfortable wearing it to the office. It was easy to throw on and I felt put together - good basic piece for work.

Fun shape
I was concerned these pants would look too big on me - I'm 5'3'' - but they were great. High waisted and a little snug but definitely manageable (I ate pizza in them and everything). Hit nicely above the ankle.

Beautiful dress, great pop of color
Great sweater dress, it fit me like a glove. I'm small chested (A-cup) and I felt it fit well. It has some stretch but may not work for very busty women. I've been able to wear this to work and to charity events, and get compliments every time.

Great statement dress, easy to wear!
This dress was a fun color and cut for a hot summer wedding. It has an open back, and the front is loose and drapey which probably works well for people with a variety of chest sizes - I actually ended up pinning the back a bit so it would be more fitted on my small chest. I even got away with not wearing a bra, as the dress is opaque despite the flowy fabric. It was my first experience with Rent the Runway, and it turned out great!
