Backup dress saved me!!!
My two other dress choices were a disaster fit on me. So Rent The Runway customer service came to save the day and chose this dress for me. Looked at it really quick on the phone and went with it in a size 6. This dress was great! It was just a teeny bit snug on me but it didn't bug me at all. It was a simple dress but with a little pizazz with the upper back detail. Super comfortable too! Would recommend for sure!

Unique dress
I'm 5'2" and with some wedges this hit right at my ankles. I loved it for a spring wedding. Got lots of compliments since it really doesn't look like any other dress out there. Definitely easy to dance and move around in. My biggest complaint was with the top. It didn't stay quite nicely in place and it's probably cause I have a short torso. The back, top of the dress rode up and thus there would be a gap between my upper back and the dress sometimes. But honestly no one noticed with my hair down. So I went with it. The 4R was too tight on my torso. It is bit pricier than other dresses so I'm not sure I would totally recommend since it didn't quite fit as nicely as I wanted to for the price. But hey it might fit you and then the price would be worth it.

Great LBD for Work Party
Wore this to a holiday party and it felt completely appropriate with a slight edge with the exposed shoulders. I loved that I could still wear my regular bra so that was a plus! Definitely recommend for a simple LBD with a little flair. I'm 5'2" and the dress came to my knees.

Small chested = Safety Pin
Would definitely wear this again even with a safety pin to hold the straps tighter. I went with the 4 because around my ribs better but the straps were too large. Didn't mind a safety pin at all. I loved wearing this dress, the pockets and high/low cut dressed it down so it was perfect. I wore 4" heels and I'm 5'2", it barely didn't touch the ground. Heels a must if you're short.

Super short and I'm 5'2"!
I really loved this dress. It was a hot summer wedding and it was perfect. The pockets are great. Like the title says, it was pretty short and I'm 5'2". I definitely wore short shorts underneath just to be safe...weddings=dancing and I didn't want to flash everyone.

Perfect Jumper for a Work Holiday Party
Pretty much the perfect outfit for a work function. Stood out for being fashionable, but still made a "power" statement. At least that's how I felt. :) Definitely recommend!

Endless comments! For reals!
Everyone always post on these reviews that they got non-stop compliments on dresses. And in my past experience, I'd get a few from friends and family. But no lie! This dress got compliments from everyone! I wore it to a wedding and their families kept coming up to me just to tell me how much they loved this dress. The length was just a smidge too long for me but everything else fit like a glove. The cut outs are amazing. Booty or no booty, this dress will make your behind look great! Definitely recommend this dress!!!

Tried but no luck!
I wanted this dress to work. I never thought I had broad shoulders until I tried this dress on! I probably don't actually have broad shoulders, this dress is just made for dainty-er shoulders. Length was a bit long on me (5'2"). Looked cute on everyone else but just didn't work for my body type.

Short dress! But perfect for a shortie!
Firstly, everyone is right, this dress is short. But at 5'2" I felt like it was the perfect short-ness with my booty filling it out more. It was teetering on the edge of "too short." But it was a bachelorette party after all! Other than that, I loved this dress and the cut. Would definitely recommend for a nice out partying.

Beautiful Elegant Dress
Oh I wish I took more pictures in this beautiful dress! I loved wearing it. I normally wear a 4R but I went with the 2R because I'm short and the length was better. Definitely couldn't wear spanx underneath which I would've preferred but it still worked out. I would definitely recommend this dress for a semi-formal or formal wedding.

Love this dress!
I wish there was a Small available for rent when I reserved this dress, which is the size I normally wear. They only had an XSR and I took a chance. The length was great but it was definitely a little more snug than I'd like but I stuck it out cause the dress was beautiful. Heels were definitely a must for me (5'2") even with the XSR. I would definitely recommend others rent this dress in your normal size.

Perfect Post-Wedding Outfit
This jumper is awesome. I wore it after our wedding reception to go out in the neighborhood bars. I had so much fun, I didn't get any pictures! But I'll definitely rent it again! I'm 5'2" and actually wore this jumper with flats (my feet were tired from wearing heels all day) and it scrunched at my ankle a bit but it didn't drag on the ground so problem. And since I only wore this outfit for a few hours, I didn't have to worry about the whole going to the bathroom part. FOR SURE you need someone to help you zip it up all the way to the back of your neck.

Great deal!
If you're that person who is renting more than 1 dress a year from RtR, then save yourself some $$ and become a Pro. The benefits pay themselves off after one rental!

Stand out and look Va-va-voom!
Oh I loved this dress! I wore it to my engagement party because I needed something classy but yet stood out in a party of 100. I wore spanx underneath since it was tight-er (I went with the size 2 over the 4 because the length fit me better, I'm 5'2" afterall!) and I did have to pull the sleeves down every now and then but I did not mind at all because the dress was just so beautiful. Would definitely recommend this one!

Perfect Dress!
Oh I LOVED this dress. Everything about it. The fit was perfect. The length was perfect. The color was perfect! The cut and shape was perfect! I could definitely own this dress and wear over and over if I didn't take so many pictures in it already! I wore the size 2 over the size 4 because it fit a bit more snug without being too tight. Would definitely recommend this dress!

Beautiful but annoying
So this dress has a plunging, open back and its almost entirely held up at your shoulders. I ordered sizes 2 and 4. The size 2 fit PERFECT on my torso but holy moly, way too short. It practically hit right where my butt cheek stopped. I considered wearing it with tights but it was a bit too hot for that and that wasn't the style I was going for. The size 4 practically fell off my shoulders every time I breathed out but was only marginally longer than the size 2. I had some fashion tape and used that to keep the shoulders up, worked perfectly! But the length was still too short. I wore it anyways but I tugged on it practically every minute. Great dress if you don't have a lot of junk in the trunk and if you're short than 5'2" I guess!

Perfect Holiday Dress
Really enjoyed this dress! I wore it for my fiance's Holiday work party. Felt very covered yet beautiful. Only complaint (which is usually my issue with bodycon dresses because of my butt....) is that I did have to tug at the sides to pull the dress down every now and then. Not as often as with other dresses but definitely after going up and down stairs. Other than that, the sleeves were a tad short for me but I just rolled them up at my wrists and you really can't noticed since its black.
