Beautiful dress! Sad that it didn't work out...
Beautiful dress, but it ran very small for me in the ribcage area. Would have needed to go from my usual 4 to a 6 in order to be comfortable. As it turned out, another guest at the wedding had also rented this dress and wore it, and she looked fabulous!

Wish I could've worn it!
Such a pretty, well made dress, but I underestimated my newly pregnant body growing this quickly and wrongly ordered my regular size. Unfortunately the larger backup size wasn't available, otherwise I'm sure that would have worked.

Pretty, but the fit was off for me on this one.
I don't have a big chest by any means, but the sizing on this is surely snug in the chest. Also, the draping of it made my hips look big (which isn't a normal complaint for me). The print was pretty but darker than pictured I thought, def not a "daytime" dress.

Just didn't do it for me
I rented this dress in hopes of wearing it to a destination wedding in carmel, CA. Unfortunately, the "shorts" underneath proved to be pretty unflattering on me. I also think that the coloring of the dress wasn't too flattering on my ultra pale skin…perhaps if you have a darker skin tone or a great spray tan then this might be nice for a warm weather event.

Classic color, beautiful modern shape! For those who are on the taller side like me, this dress was a tad bit short(shows off a lot of leg!)I wore this dress to a formal wedding and jazzed up the simple color and shape with a sexy pair of rhinestone peep toes, earrings and bracelets. Felt like a million bucks!

Not my favorite Rent the Runway purchase. Still wore it to a beach wedding, but found that the fit was off. The slip underneath was longer than the top layer (which didn't look good), and I had to safety pin under the armpit to get the look right. Despite it being very fussy, I still received compliments (mostly from men) about the interesting print.

Great experience as usual!
Wore this dress to a summer wedding and got tons of compliments! Fit was comfortable, length was a little on the shorter side for me since I'm tall. Only problem I had was that this color must be super in style right now because 3 other guests at the wedding had the same color on!

Super sexy dress! Do not rent if you are self conscious of your figure flaws (and even if you are confident I recommend some Spanx!) Ordered a size up from my normal size and it fit like a glove. The color is stunning and the draping of the collar is beautiful. Lots of compliments from women and double takes from the men :)

Dress was promptly delivered on the expected date, free garment bag was helpful in toting the dress to the wedding, and it was already dry cleaned & pressed when it arrived!

This is my fourth time renting the runway, and all other rentals were fabulous…i guess the streak is over! Thought that this dress would look effortlessly chic for a country club wedding, but to my dismay it just looked awful. I couldn't decide whether to mark that the dress runs small or large, because it was small in some areas and large in others….overall just a very unflattering fit. Also, one of the sizes arrived missing one of the tuxedo buttons on the back. Thankful that I had a backup on hand, and must say that for my first time returning the dress for fit, customer service was very accommodating with giving me my full rental credit.
