Beautiful, comfortable dress -- I'm in love!
I absolutely loved this dress and it is so stunning in person. It's also so comfortable, elegant and has pockets. I probably could have worn the smaller size but the L was the only option. I don't have a full body shot but I wore gold block sandals and the dress reached my ankles. I will definitely rent this again!

Love this blazer! Comfy and a great way to dress up jeans!
This blazer fits perfectly and makes a jeans outfit feel more polished for work. It's comfortable and cozy but not heavy where I'm overheating. I prefer it open but you could wear it buttoned up. I'd definitely rent again!

Comfy and cute!
So this is definitely a dress. I guess it could be a sweater if I had sized down one or two sizes. It was very comfortable and cozy. The arms were a bit short but I liked that and the neck was a bit large and I didn't love that. I'd rent again though just not sure for what occasion.

Fun jacket and wow did I get a ton of compliments!
I wore this to work one random day with black jeans and black booties. I paired it with a black tank top underneath and am glad I did because I definitely got a little warm throughout the day and had to take the blazer off to cool down. It's a heavy fabric and lining. I felt like it ran a big big, especially in the chest and arms area, but I am almost 5'8 and liked the length. It's boxy so it felt important to have a slim bottom with skinny jeans and the same colored shoes so that it created a clean, slim line. I could see wearing this open over a black dress with heels for a work meeting or presentation. It was fun and definitely a statement piece. The last thing that I didn't like was the name of the designer on the back of the blazer - just felt tacky to me. This isn't Juicy!

Comfy but just not for me
An orange piece of clothing is way outside the box for me so I get why it just wasn't for me. I thought it ran large and was a little itchy and was just blah shape wise.

Cute but nothing special
Maybe it's just the fit that I'm a bit eh on. It moved around a lot and just doesn't lay given the material and peplum fit. But it's light, easy and cute and I think stepped up my black pant outfit at work.

Loved this and received compliments galore!
My first thought when I received this dress was how was I going to style navy. Well I did navy tights and then black booties and it worked! Literally every single person in my office commented on my outfit and loved it. Best feelings! It was super comfortable and felt professional and yet fun.

Unique piece with a lot of comfort!
I really loved this top! The extended fabric on one side is a fun little element that added a little extra something to an otherwise usual black pant work look. It did stretch out in the arms throughout the day and I feel like I could have sized down to the medium. Loved the color and the soft stretch of the material and, of course, received compliments!

Compliments galore with this statement coat!
Absolutely love this coat! And I received countless compliments on it...from coworkers to strangers! It feels luxurious and I also feel pretty baller in it. The only downside is that it doesn't close because there are no buttons, snaps or even a belt. I think it can be worn casual or dressed up and is just fun!

The super-duper back up dress pulls through at the last minute!
I had a black tie optional wedding last Friday and had to leave Thursday afternoon. My original order arrived on Wednesday night and was just all wrong. I worked with a customer service representative (very helpful) to have a new dress in two sizes sent to my mom's house along with this dress as the super-duper back up. Well, thank goodness for it! I love black and would have actually loved if it was all back without the white paneling in the back but it was fine. The high-low was fun but it's not my favorite style. I wore a 12R but definitely could have worn the 10R or even the 8R, it really does run large and it drapes and hangs very loosely. Luckily, it didn't really matter that it was too big besides the fact that my nude bra kept peeking out from under my arms every so often. It is a great materials that is heavy enough to flatter the right places but light enough to breath and dance all night. It was also perfect to hold my 2 year old niece as she fells asleep during the reception. If you need a super flattering dress that is comfortable and stylish, this is the one for you. You can easily dress it up and I wore it with strappy gold heels and simple jewelry. I would rent again but in a smaller size!

Comfortable and elegant!
This dress was sooooo comfortable! The blue was very pretty and really gave it a little something special instead of just being all black. It was so much prettier in person. I really loved it and would absolutely rent it again. I probably could have worn and 8 but the 10 was comfortable and hung well. It's slimmer in person than it looks on the model but is flattering in all the right places! Great dress!

Wasn't for me!
I usually don't wear strapless dresses but was encouraged with the review from other Rent the Runway ladies. The dress is really a gorgeous color and I had rented it for a wedding in Mexico. Unfortunately, the fit just wasn't right for me and it wasn't comfortable. Too tight in the waist and I remembered why I don't wear strapless - just not flattering on me!

I rented this dress as the godmother for my niece's baptism and it was perfect. I was comfortable and received endless compliments all day. I've rented many dresses and this might have been my favorite! I really wish I owned this dress. It runs big and the material is light and it could be dressed up or down. Really loved it!

Classic little black dress
This is a classic little black dress with a thick, textured material. It was a little too bulky for my taste but very flattering. I think it would be better in colder weather. I love one shoulder and Shoshanna is always true to size for me. I would rent it again for a different event.

Surprisingly I loved this but it was too big!
This dress is not my style at all but the RTR stylist recommend it and when it arrived I was surprised by how much I loved it. However, it was too big. The material is really light and has just enough sparkle but isn't too crazy. The color was very flattering with my summer tan too :) I would definitely consider renting this again...maybe for an upcoming destination wedding. Very comfortable dress and a great choice for something a little different.

Nice dress but just wasn't for me and didn't wear it
I really liked the cut of this dress and the fabric was very comfortable - kind of thicker textured material. However, the skirt was a little too big for me and I didn't really think the pattern was flattering. It was nice that you could wear a regular bra though. I didn't wear it but could see this working for a more slender woman for a spring event.

Beautiful dress but didn't wear it
There were so many things I loved about this dress: the color, the fabric, the length. However, it is a lot of fabric and just wasn't right for the event I was attending. It's really beautiful in person and was very comfortable.

Strange fit!
I was so excited for this dress but the fit was really strange. The top was big and it was very tight on the bottom. Just not for me! The materials was nice though - kind of thicker jersey. I loved the idea of it but it didn't work out.

Loved it and received compliments all night!
I rented this dress for a black tie wedding and loved it. It definitely ran small - I wore the larger size - but it was SUPER comfortable and something different than what I normally wear. The only drawback was that sometimes my heel would get caught in the bottom of the dress while I was dancing. I wore Spanx because I like to smooth my middle section but you could get away without them. I wore the 10L and the length was perfect with three inch heels. The material is light and I felt like I was dressed up perfectly for the event. I'm really glad I went a bit out of the box and went for it - loved it!

Very flattering!
I rented this as my back-up dress for a black tie wedding and while I did love this dress, I didn't end up wearing it. This dress definitely runs large but it's very flattering and classic yet unique. The material is heavy so it lays nicely and I didn't even feel like I needed to wear Spanx with it. The long length was skimming along the floor with three inch heels. The regular length fit much better. It worked out well though because my friend ended up wearing it! I would definitely rent it again and think it's a great choice for a formal event.

Perfect dress for a black tie welcome wedding!
I felt like this dress was true to size. It's really pretty in person and also light and easy to move in so I was comfortable all night. Three things bothered me: 1) the skirt had a lot of fabric so when I sat, I just felt like there was a lot going on, 2) the neckline was super high and a little irritating at times, and 3) It has those snaps for your bra but my regular bra straps STILL poked out. Overall it was the perfect pick for a black tie welcome wedding in Charleston.

Waaaaaaaay too short. Didn't wear it.
While I know the other reviews said it was too short, I read the measurements and still though it might work. But I was wrong. Which is too bad too because it's a really nice quality dress and would have been perfect for my grandmother's 90th birthday (where we were also taking a family portrait). But it was just insanely short. Too bad.

Fun yet professional
This dress was very comfortable - the jersey material was great! It was different then what I would normally wear so I felt a little self-conscious with the narrow bottom but the peplum was cute and I received a lot of compliments on the color (which was a tad bright for me). I think I would have loved this dress more in a darker color. I also felt like I had to wear the bigger size because I felt a bit body-conscious. It was the perfect style for the event I attended though (a work gala) and I'm glad I rented something from RTR again.

Beautiful color, perfect for a summer wedding!
I absolutely loved this dress and received so many compliments on it throughout the night. It is a bit tight in the waist but was very comfortable and a light fabric that is perfect for dancing the night away at a wedding. I would have worn the 8 if it were not for the snug waist because it fit better on the top. I am very happy I rented this dress and would definitely wear it again. Thanks again, RTR!

Comfortable and absolutely gorgeous color!
This is my third time wearing this Shoshanna but I tried a new color this time after loving the pink and blue colors so much. I loved the color of this dress so much - it is so vibrant and beautiful in person! the fit is comfortable and the dress has pockets and is a very basic A-line but you are able to dress it up with accessories and heels. I love Shoshanna and this dress and would definitely recommend it to others.

Comfortable yet elegant!
As the other reviews said, this dress does run large and you will need fashion tape (which RTR didn't send me). But it's an extremely comfortable and flattering dress. The jersey matte material is heavy enough not to snag in all those places you don't want anyone to see but not restricting. I felt great in it all night dancing away. I also loved that it was navy, something a little different. I would actually have liked it better if the draped sleeve was on both sides - my one arm felt a little strangely exposed! Great rental, would definitely recommend it and would rent it again.

This dress was SUPER comfortable and very flattering. The only downside was that it was a bit short and I couldn't have worn it without tights. I am almost 5'8 and it was just a bit short with heels. But it was super comfortable and I loved the sleeves. Great dress!

Perfect dress for my 30th birthday!
The dress definitely ran large like all of the other reviews read so the smaller size worked out perfectly. I thought it was really comfy - though it was a bit weird sitting on the sequins and I understand what other reviewers said about the sequins scratching up their arms a bit. But I really did love the dress and received a ton of compliments on it all night. Also, I felt like you could really wear any type of accessory or shoes with it.

Didn't wear, proportions were way off.
I had tried this dress on at the RTR LivingSocial pop up and loved the color and the gold detail on the side. The size 8 fit but was a tad bit too snug on the bottom so I ended up renting the 10. Well the 10 was huge. It was SO big on top (it was also big on the bottom) but it was like hanging off me on the top. I was super disappointed it didn't fit because the fabric is so comfortable and I loved the dress.

Very bad fit!
I did not end up wearing this dress and returned it for a different dress because it ran small and was extremely unflattering. It looked so cute online so I was disappointed. The fabric is also a lot thicker than you would think and the neckline is cut very high. It was just awkward. It was a bummer but it happens!

Loved it but was a tad bit big
I ended up wearing this dress for a wedding even though it was a bit too big. I think the 6 would have fit much better. The colors are gorgeous in person and the cut is very flattering. Plus it's so light and breezy which is perfect for the hot heat this summer. There is a little bit of a poof in the material right above the waist that was kind of weird to me but I think it wouldn't have been as bad if it was smaller. It's a great dress though and per usual with my RTR dresses, I received compliment after compliment.

I rented this dress for a wedding in April. It was another great rental experience and I loved the dress. It fit perfectly and was a great punch of color. The only downside was that it was an unseasonably warm day in April and the fabric didn't really breathe that well. But I still loved it and received a ton of compliments.
