Gorgeous gown!
I LOVED this dress! I'm usually a size 4 or size 2-- after reading the reviews I went with the 2R and it fit well. Probably could've worn a 0 but it was not available. I have a very narrow back/rib cage so the back did gap slightly, but overall the 2 worked. This dress is LONG-- I'm 5'6 1/2 and wore 3" heels and still had to be careful because it was so long. I didn't want to tear the bottom. The color is gorgeous, the material is as well. I love that the material on the top was stretchy and comfortable. You can't wear a bra with this, so you may want boob tape to keep the girls in place! Overall I loved this dress-- I got soooo many compliments all night long. I felt very glamorous!

So many compliments!
Would never expect to wear this style of dress-- but when I saw the review pictures I had to have it! Its VERY fitted-- so if you love your curves, this dress is for you! If you're a bit self-conscious you may want to pass! I love that even though it had a high neckline and hit below my knees-- it was still super sexy because of how well it fit. People were saying I looked like a mermaid, a movie-star, a goddess-- I seriously received compliments all night long! And trust me, when you wear this dress there won't be anyone else in anything looking even remotely similar to you -- it's so unique! It's well-made, the colors are gorgeous, and it's just overall amazing. I couldn't wear a bra with it due to how far the arm holes curved in, but it wasn't even necessary. I highly recommend renting this dress-- you won't regret it!

This dress is KILLER!!
Hands down, one of my absolute favorite rentals. I loved everything about this dress! It fits perfectly, the material feels great, and the lace cut-outs are just sexy enough without being over the top. I'm an hourglass figure and it fit like a glove. Usually I hate not wearing a bra but the cut of this dress will keep your boobs in place and still make them look good! I'm usually a size 2 or 4 depending... Both fit but I went with the 2 because the 4 was a bit large in the midsection. I loved the way this dress swayed when I walked. Endless compliments all night... I honestly don't want to return it!

Glamorous at the Gala
My first thought when I took the dress out was-- Oh no, I look like a bridesmaid! I was really unsure of wearing it, because the style is completely different from anything I've ever worn. The size 2 fit perfectly, but I'm a 32DD, so if you have a small chest you probably won't fill it out. It is very low cut as well, so you'll need a deep-plunge bra. Luckily I already owned one! I wore it to a Gala, and felt so glamorous in it. Yes, it has pockets, but I didn't use them for anything. The material is very heavy, which would probably be my only complaint. I was expecting a much lighter feel, but it still looked great. As always, I received many compliments throughout the night... so I ended up loving the dress.

Perfect for the Summer Solstice party at the art museum
I was a bit nervous renting this dress, because they didn't have my backup size. Lucky for me, the size small was a perfect fit! The dress was stretchy and comfortable, and I received a ton of compliments. It is definitely unique-- you will not blend in with the crowd! Overall I loved the dress, especially the price!

Another favorite!
This is the 3rd Nicole Miller dress I have rented... Can't say enough how much I love this designer! I wish I had a better picture, because the dress was absolutely stunning-- especially the back! I'm glad I read the reviews, however, because the dress does run large! Surprisingly I wore the XS , and it fit comfortably. You cannot wear a traditional bra with this dress, so I bought one from Victoria's Secret that was backless, and it worked great! I originally did not plan on wearing a necklace, but changed my mind once I put on the dress. With both the front and back exposing a lot of skin, I felt naked without one on. Luckily I found one to match the earrings I rented! I received compliments all night, and the dress was very comfortable-- a win/win!

Got so many compliments!
I love the way Nicole Miller dresses fit! I wore this exact dress (in dark purple) to a wedding 2 years ago, so I knew It would fit well. Gorgeous color, and I love the lace. I will say, these dresses are pretty popular, and you can tell by the fit if they have been worn a lot. I ordered a size small and medium-- ended up wearing the Medium. To be honest, both dresses fit me EXACTLY the same-- except the straps on the small had been stretched out and kept falling down. Clearly someone had overstretched the small! The same issue occurred 2yrs ago with the purple one where the Medium was shorter and tighter than the Small (seemed a bit shrunk.) So don't be surprised if the sizes seem off. It's a very comfortable dress and has a lot of stretch, but definitely order 2 sizes. I got so many compliments all night-- Nicole Miller dresses do not disappoint!

Sexy and Classy!
The dress was gorgeous! The 4 fit perfectly, but keep in mind this material is not stretchy. I'm pretty curvy (32 DD chest, 27' waist, 38' hips) so if you have more of a straight body shape I would suggest sizing down. The length was perfect-- I'm 5'7 and it was well past my fingertips but above my knees. The color was a pretty periwinkle and the lace was gorgeous. The only problem I had with the dress-- upon receiving them, when I tried on the 4 I realized it had not been cleaned. I could smell the previous wearers perfume on the neckline, and deodorant/sweaty smell in the armpit area. I would have worn the 6 but it was too big. I called RTR and they gave me 15% off my next order. Fortunately after airing out for 2 days without the plastic on, the smell wasn't as bad so I wore the 4 because the fit was so much better. Overall very pleased with this rental-- it was perfect for a spring wedding and I received many compliments!

Compliments all night!
I ordered this dress for a black tie event that I attend every year. Because I have ordered Nicole Miller dresses in the past, and they have always fit perfect, I knew I couldn't go wrong with this dress. I'm usually between a size 2 and a size 4 so I ordered both sizes in a long. The size 2 fit perfect everywhere except in the bust, and due to the type of neckline, I needed to size up. (I'm a 32DD, but was about to get my period so my boobs were a bit larger than usual.) The size 4 felt much better, except it was too long. I'm 5'7, and even in 4 inch heels, the dress still touched the floor (barely). The 2L was perfect in length, however the 4L fit better overall. The material is stretchy and super comfortable. This is a great dress if you have curves. I got compliments all night long, and felt absolutely gorgeous in this dress! As always, my experience with rent the runway was great!

Gorgeous purse but a bit too tiny!
Love the look of this purse! Unfortunately it barely held my phone , ID and tiny lipgloss. No room for my keys, or a compact mirror, or mints. I have an iphone6 btw. I also had problems keeping it shut, but it looked great! I also loved that it had a strap-- just wish the purse was a bit bigger.

This dress fit like a glove! I didn't wanna send it back!
I chose this dress for a formal work party that a friend invited me to. After reading rave reviews I had no doubt it would be a hit! Let me just say that this dress looked and fit better than I had ever imagined! I recently put on about 8lbs so I was nervous to wear something so fitted, but this dress sucked it all in! The material is very thick and has a spanx-like effect-- it literally fit like a glove! I tried on the small first and it was perfect so I didn't even bother trying the medium. I'm 5'7 and was nervous the small might be too short-- but as you can see in the pic-- it was just the right length. I highly recommend this dress! It was sexy, comfortable, and I got compliments all night! I didn't wanna return it!

Absolutely loved these earrings! I did not realize when I ordered them that they were clip-ons, though. They were pinching my ears by the end if the night, but they looked so good I didn't care!

Loved this clutch ! I wore it with an indigo-colored dress which matched perfectly. The clutch isn't black... It has tones of blue and purple and is sparkly. It matched the shoes that I had perfectly!

This dress fits like a glove! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Unfortunately it arrived on Monday--- the day I was supposed to return it! My event was on Saturday so I had to borrow a dress from a friend last minute! The weather was bad though, and RTR customer service is amazing. From now on though, I will make sure to have a backup dress. I tried it on when it arrived, just to see if I would like it. I wanted to cry bc it fit PERFECT! I have worn several Nicole Miller dresses and can honestly say she is my favorite. It hugged my curves perfectly and I have never felt sexier! I WILL rent this dress again and hopefully it will arrive on time! Both the 2 and 4 fit me... And I normally wear both sizes. The fabric is stretchy and I didn't feel the need for spanx... But I'm a 32D and the 2 showed a lot of cleavage! This was my favorite dress that I've EVER worn in my life!
