Lovely Dress
This was a very nice dress for a wedding. It is a little tighter in the stomach so beware. And if you have a bigger chest it could be revealing. Other than that I loved the flowy arms and I felt pretty.

Lady In Red - Must Rent
This dress was the best! I felt sexy and comfortable. I am glad I ordered a size down because it is true to size. I'm usually a 14/16 and the 14 was perfect. A little loose in the waist for me but if you have anything extra in the stomach area you will still look and feel beautiful. Wore a regular bra and light shape wear. I'm 5'7'' did not have a problem with the length in heels. The lining is a BIT warm but the dress was not heavy or uncomfortable. Loved the color would rent again!

Absolutely lovely dress!
I was drawn to this dress for the vibrant colors and it does not disappoint beautiful in person and in photos. The other reviews are correct in that it is tight and there is not much give. I had to squeeze into the XXL. I usually wear a 14-16 207 5'7'' BUT once I was in I felt secure and it was not uncomfortable. Really shows off your shape. No bra needed but the girls were out so if you are modest you may need another option. I would definitely wear this again. I highly recommend!

Pretty in florals
This dress was my replacement when my original dress didn't fit and it was absolutely stunning! It fit pretty well, may run a little small I got a larger size than usual and it fit great. The straps do fall down they're not adjustable but it was fine. The dress is so beautiful and I got a lot of compliments! It is very forgiving and hides any little areas you may not want highlighted. I would recommend this for hourglass body types.

Nice, did not end up wearing
I was unable to wear this dress since it did not fit correctly. The color is beautiful. The fabric is a lot heavier than it looks. I was going to an outside late spring wedding and I would have been very warm. Size up I think since the middle is tight. Pretty dress.

You NEED to rent this dress!!!!!
I LOVED this dress so much! It was a real fashion risk for me because of the off the shoulder and the slit up the front but it payed off! I felt so beautiful! It hit all the right spots and was very comfortable. A few things I will say, the hanger ribbons do come out, so I safety pinned them together and pinned them to the inside of my bra. That seemed to do the trick. There are also these other things that go under the off the shoulder they were a little tight and tend to slide up but if you push them down they are out of sight. I am a big dancer and this dress was stretchy enough to move in. I did wear spanx just to keep everything smooth, and even though I could have gotten away without one, I did wear a strapless bra. The fabric is a little bit heavier than I would want for the spring or summer which makes it a perfect dress for the winter too. Other reviews said the boning on the side was sticking them but I barely noticed it and it did not bother me. I usually size up with dresses to be safe but I am glad I sized down because I ended up wearing the smaller size. This is not a dress you want to be baggy, its a show stopping curve hugger. The size I wore is the same size I wear in jeans. Classy and elegant I had a wonderful evening. I never would have picked this for myself but I am so glad I did I really loved it! I would love to rent it again. If you are unsure if you should take the risk DO IT!!!!

Beautiful Butterfly
This dress is so beautiful. It is flowey and light and pretty. It does run a little bit big in the top. It is cut very low. I had to pin it and my strapless bra still showed which hindered my dancing. I also had to tie the straps in the back to keep the top up. Other than that it was perfect. Both sizes fit but I went with the bigger size because it was more comfortable. I would recommend this for a day time wedding, I wore it for a night wedding and I felt a little weird since it is so bright and happy. Lovely dress.

Disco Ball
This is a great dress, runs a little small so unfortunately I was unable to wear it. I zipped it just fine, I just didnt feel pretty in it. My bust was a little small so the top didnt really hold up. It was comfortable enough, but a little long. Pretty dress, sad it didn't work out

Beautiful Floral Fun!
Let me just start off with saying this was my backup dress and I am SO happy it was! I really liked the style of this dress but I knew from the get go this print really wasn't me. But a lot of fashion savvy friends loved it and advised me to pick this as my backup. When I got it, I wasn't sure about the print but once I had it on it was absolutely beautiful! I got so many compliments, I was comfortable all night, and I felt like a princess. The fabric is so light without being clingy. It blew beautifully in the wind and was fun to dance in. The only thing I did not love was the top part. It was very blousey and made my boobs look a little "uniboob" If I had the choice I would have gotten that taken in. The print is very loud but for an outside wedding at a barn it was fabulous! I had such a great experience with this whole process and I am so happy I had a really lovely dress to wear and that I can give it back! I would recommend this dress definitely!

Sassy Red
This was my first choice dress, I was eyeing it for months, this was my first time using the website, my boyfriends best friend was getting married, all the pieces were falling into place! I really loved the way the model looked in this dress, and I thought it would look great too. The color is more red than I thought it would be. And the material is much heavier than I thought. This was a spring wedding, so to be honest the material was a little bit heavy for my liking. Like I said this was my first choice, by some twist of fate they didn't have my first choice size so they let me pick a backup dress, and I am sooo glad because I did not end up wearing this dress. I have gained some weight so I didn't know my real size but the 22 was a little snug, and like a lot of other reviews it was sooo hard to zipper, my dad couldn't even get it! (My mom could haha) It was a very beautiful dress, I really loved it but for the occasion and my current weight it just did not work out. I would consider renting this dress for an event in the winter or fall but maybe in a different color, the red was just not what I thought. Overall I had a wonderful experience with Rent the Runway. I am so happy I had a second choice. Things just work out sometimes!

I needed a statement piece, and I got it!
This is a really beautiful ring. It is stretchy so it will fit a lot of different sizes. I am around a size 9 and it was the perfect fit, I could image a skinnier finger it might slide off. I got a lot of compliments on it and it was great. That being said, it did turn my skin green (which usually happens to me with certain metals) and I feel like for the price I rented the ring I could have found something similar for cheaper at forever 21. I really did love it though and would recommend it.
