Absolutely beautiful dress!
I was going to a polo match for a work event, and I had never been before. I knew that polo matches typically attracted a lot of fashion, and I wanted to wear something to fit it. I am so glad I rented this dress! I received tons of compliments and felt perfectly at ease in the atmosphere. It was light and flowy, very comfortable. The fit was perfect, and it was a great length with flats (or small wedges). I paired it with a rather silly pink hat, but it all worked out very well! I would definitely recommend... I wish I could buy this one!

Loved this bag!
I rented this on a weekend when I needed a bag for a bridal shower and a bag to go with a dress I was wearing to a work event at a polo match. This matched both dresses I was wearing so I rented it. Wow! LOVE this purse. The color and style are both great, and it fits so much! I didn't want to return this one at all!

Great for a bridal shower.
I wore this dress to a bridal shower in South Carolina. The fabric is thick but very comfortable and feels almost like jersey. Despite being close to 95 degrees, I didn't find this to be too hot to wear because it seemed very breathable. This was really a solid dress with a great pattern for a bridal shower. Also long (just about came to my knees) so very appropriate in front of strangers and/or family members. I would have normally worn one size down, but they were sold out. The next size up was a little big but not noticeably.

Great earrings, very classy. Didn't get a picture, but I would say that run pretty true to size compared to the web photos.

Cute but very short.
I really loved the pattern on this dress, the material, and the fit - except for the length. I was very comfortable for the most part, and the dress looked great, but it is definitely much shorter than expected. I wore this to a bridal shower at a Syrian restaurant where we all took belly dancing lessons (yes, super fun!), and lifting my arms just a bit would have shown my lady parts to everyone there! :'D Definitely would recommend but probably for someone 5'5" or under.

Great for NYE!
Finally had the opportunity to rent a fun, sparkly dress for New Year's Eve. This was an excellent choice. Great for "straight and narrow" types and/or longer legs as it emphasizes your legs well. Sparkly and fun, and I was surprised that the sequins were not bothersome. Actually a pretty comfortable dress.

Great jumpsuit but wish it were longer.
I have never worn a jumpsuit or romper before so I was very leary about renting one for a party in New York City. I wasn't sure if I would feel comfortable, and at 5'7" I wasn't sure how the fit would be. This is definitely a great jumper though I wish it were available to rent in Long as opposed to only Regular. It did fit very well, and I received so many compliments that I felt really wonderful in it. The issue was that I didn't have heels short enough to wear with it (luckily my cousin did so it worked out well), but it would have dragged the ground a bit if I wore flats. Overall, I would definitely recommend - the color was great, and it was pretty comfortable.

Simple and comfortable.
Great, comfortable dress worn to a wedding. Very simple, nothing overly eye-catching, though that is obvious from the web photos. The back has a great cut-out that I didn't get a photo of. Also shows off your shape wonderfully. Definitely one of the most comfortable dresses I've worn!

Not as bright gold in person as it appears on the web, but this was a great purse for a wedding or similar event. Simple but large enough to fit everything needed.

Great dress for a "straight and narrow" figure.
I have rented sheath dresses before, and this one was another winner. I consider my body type the "straight and narrow", and this type of dress really flatters that (especially if you like to show some leg). It is short, but I didn't find it to be uncomfortably so. I was able to dance and enjoy myself and really loved how comfortable it was. The sequins were a bit annoying under the arms, but I wouldn't let that deter you from renting.

Great dress, runs VERY small!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous, but I wish I had listened to previous renters and ordered MUCH larger. I rented my size and 1 size up, and I was still wishing I had a bigger size. It fit and looked fine, but I couldn't breathe as well as I would have hoped to. :) I wore this to an outdoor wedding so I paired it with wedges, and I received a ton of compliments. Really great dress and comfortable material... just order bigger than you expect you need!

Did not wear due to change of plans
No picture as I unfortunately did not wear this dress on New Years' Eve due to a change of plans. Gorgeous dress for a party-- vibrant and sparkly and so much fun. It would have been too much for the party we went to last minute but otherwise I would have worn. Three stars only because I do believe it would not have been comfortable to wear all night long with the sequins, though the fit was perfect.

Not a great dress for me
This is a cute dress but simply not great for my body type. It was very short and the cinching at the waist was not flattering. I loved the color and pattern, and the dress was VERY comfortable. I would suggest this for someone shorter as I think it would fit better.

I never remember to get pictures with accessories, but this was a great purse. Nice color - a true pearl - and the perfect size for a wedding. I was able to fit my phone, keys, chapstick, lip gloss, and ID/money.

Classy - So many compliments!
I really loved this dress. The color is beautiful, the length is classy, and the shape is sexy. I paired this with nude heels and gold jewelry for a wedding. I received so many compliments about how classy I looked in this dress. The only problem I encountered is that while the dress runs true to size, the armholes are far too small/tight! I tried the size up, but it was much too big and looked as though I was wearing a shapeless tablecloth, so I sucked it up and went with the smaller size. It wasn't terrible, but if I had a larger chest I would not have been able to move my arms. The other thing to note is that while this dress is sleeveless, the material is quite thick. I wore this to an August wedding on a day that was 90 and sunny, and I was really feeling the heat! Still would definitely recommend renting.

Soft and Comfortable
Great dress for a casual, outdoor wedding in May. The colors and pattern are really fantastic. The biggest issue with this dress is that it's very large up top. Perhaps my shoulders and chest are just too narrow and small, but I needed to wear a navy blue tank top underneath because this dress would not stay put. The neck hole is SO large I could easily slip my whole body through it, so I spent a fair amount of the day adjusting the neckline and shoulders. Outside of that, the dress was extremely comfortable and attractive. Wouldn't rent again due to size but would recommend for someone with broader shoulders or a bigger chest to fill out the top of this dress.

Nice color but looking worn
I rented this dress for my best friend's rehearsal dinner. The color is great (though I should have waited until I had a summer tan to rent this-- it washed out my skin in April!). Comfortable dress though shorter than expected. Cute but not really eye-catching and it did seem to be well-worn-- a bit dull and limp. I would recommend this dress for a summer occasion, something a little less fancy. Not bad but not my favorite rental. Ran true to size for me (but again, it was shorter than I expected).

Eh...
This was the first dress I've rented from RTR that I was unable to wear but also the first that I would have chosen not to wear even if it fit. I should have listened to previous renters-- this dress runs VERY small. I rented my normal size and one size up and could not zip either one (and I'm rather small in the bust area). That said, I just simply didn't like this dress. The material is very heavy and grandmotherly. At least on me. Honestly, on a smaller, more petite female this dress is probably very feminine and quite lovely. But I am 5'7" and it simply looked awful. Just not a great fit for a tall, thin/athletic figure. I was sort of on the fence before I'd rented it and should have trusted my gut. Oh well, better luck next time. :)

Beautiful Dress!
I loved, loved, loved this dress. So comfortable but so flattering. I wore this to an outdoor/indoor wedding and although it was very warm out, the dress was not too hot. I received many compliments, and I would definitely rent this dress for another occasion! I did almost wear the size 2 due to the hip area being a bit constrictive. In the end, the 0 fit better elsewhere and ended up being just fine. If you have a curvier figure though, I would suggest ordering your normal size and one size up, as other reviewers have recommended. I highly recommend this dress!

Super comfortable, very cute dress!
I really loved this dress. The sheer comfort alone would cause me to rent this for another event! This looked awesome on with just enough class/sexiness for an out in Atlantic City. The dress feels very thick so I worried I'd be far too hot wearing this inside all night, but it turned out to be very breathable. The only reason I give this 4/5 stars is due to fit. It does run a bit large. I am 5'7", yet even the XS was large in the shoulders. This wouldn't be as much of a problem for a bigger chest (or slightly taller girl). Overall, I highly recommend this dress... just remember to order your size and one size smaller.

Cute Purse!
Didn't manage to get a picture with this purse, but it really was cute & perfect with my outfit. The biggest downfall of this purse is that is was SO hard to open. I really think all of the drinking I did on NYE had something to do with it (lol), though I did have difficulty with it before I went out that night! It wasn't enough to consider not having rented it, though, so if it works with your outfit.. go for it!

Great dress AND comfy!
This was my first time using Rent The Runway, and it will not be my last! The worst part about this experience was making a decision as to which dress I would rent. I finally decided on this one, thanks to all of the great reviews. It did not disappoint. This is a VERY comfortable dress, which is probably the best part about it when you're out dancing and drinking all night long for New Year's Eve. BUT, it is also seriously flattering and sexy without being too much. This dress can definitely be worn without a bra for added comfort; however, as a small-chested girl I chose to wear one to accentuate what I barely have, HA. :) I would also suggest choosing your normal size and one size smaller, as I would agree with other reviewers-- it runs a bit large. I'm thin but tall, so I expected to wear the small, yet I ended up wearing the x-small (the P). I received the dress on time, no hassle, and in PERFECT condition. My biggest issue with this dress is that my bracelet kept catching on the lace, which I should have expected. Luckily it didn't ruin it at all, just a tad annoying. I highly recommend this dress!
