Stunning dress in a great ength
This was my favorite rental, so far! The dress fit like a glove and I felt stunning. I got compliments all night long and gushed about rent the runway, as usual. The pockets were perfect for my phone and lipstick, so I didn't need a purse, and the dress is gorgeous in person. The full skirt is just full enough without being "retro" and the tiny gold dots on the fabric added just the right amount of glam. I'm glad I rented a necklace, too, as the neckline is definitely a show stopper. Will rent again, for sure!

Conservative and comfortable
This dress was very comfortable and it was definitely pretty. It was longer on me than on the model, however, so I felt that the overall effect was a tad more conservative than what I was going for. Still, it was event-appropriate.

Unique dress and beautiful color
The color of this dress is stunning and it is definitely unique. I was mostly happy with it, though I felt that it could have been more flattering. The placement of the ruching is a little odd and zipper/snap closures are bizarre. I don't feel like it is particularly flattering on pear-shaped figures. The form fitting nature of the dress also made me walk like Jane from Mad Men, which isn't my cup of tea. Rent the Runway is always a great experience and the service was first-rate, but I just didn't like this dress as much as others I've worn.

This dress is very easy easy to wear.
The fabric is soft and stretchy, so it is very comfortable. The off the shoulder neckline limits arm movement, so it wouldn't be my first choice for dancing, but it was perfect for my anniversary dinner. The skirt is just right, not too short, not too long, and I felt beautiful. The dress certainly turned a lot of heads! If you want extra security to ensure a smooth fit, spanx would work very well. The neckline would be perfect for featuring a statement necklace (I don't like to wear jewelry, so I didn't opt for this), and lastly, the dress needed a bit of steaming before I wore it so plan accordingly.

Perfect dress for Easter brunch
This dress was the only great thing about my Easter holiday. I might be am atheist and have to spend my time chasing my two young children around a Midwestern country club filled with breakable glassware, rather than actually eat/drink/speak to anyone, but at least I looked good! This dress is soft silk, breathes well, fits beautifully, and flatters the figure without being too tight. The pleating detail in the front added a nice touch and the back was just the right amount of sexy. The floral pattern is muted enough that I didn't feel like a Florida tourist and, all in all, it was oerfect for the occasion.

Dress was too large!
This was a beautiful dress, but it was so large I couldn't wear it. Thankfully, I had a backup from RTR that worked. This dress felt at least two sizes too large.

This is an incredible dress.
I am flat chested and appreciated not needing even an adhesive bra. The brocade fabric makes it unnecessary and the neckline is sexy without being ridiculous. Prints are gorgeous, the fit is super-flattering and the pockets are perfect for an iPhone and a small wallet. I got compliments all night long on how amazing it was and felt so beautiful and confident in it. Elegant and sexy at the same time. Perfect winter wedding dress!
