A Crowd Favorite!

This dress was SO fun to wear! It was the perfect formal summer wedding dress, & I loved wearing it! I received so many compliments on the cut & color, & the lowback is stunning! I wore a NuBra but you could probably get away with no bra due to the material. Loved this fun summer dress!

The Ultimate LBD

I love love love love love this dress...and so does my husband! I wore this HL stunner for his birthday dinner, and it was an absolute show-stopper. The construction of the dress makes it so figure-flattering, and while I did have to pull it down a few times while I walked, it fit like a glove. This was my first Herve Leger rental and it certainly won't be the last!

Perfect "Groomschick" Gown

I had the honor of being a "groomschick" for my best friend's wedding, & this was the hands-down obvious choice! This gown is sexy & sophisticated, but the tuxedo lapel front made it stand out! Paired with simple jewelry & black Christian Louboutin heels, I received countless compliments on this rental. I only wish the 4L was available since the 6L was a hair too large, but the right undergarments & some safety pins made it work!

Sexy & Sophisticated

This dress was the right combination of sassy & chic for a wedding! It was the ultimate LBD, & I would absolutely rent again! I am 5'10" & the length was perfect, but the dress sized a bit small. I usually am a true size four but wore the six to make sure there was room to eat! :)

Holiday Party Perfection!

I have to admit, I was a little nervous when I tried on this dress at home. I'm typically a true to size Medium for cocktail style dresses, and this "Carlene" beauty was no exception. My hesitation wasn't in the fit of the dress itself, but the length. It was just appropriate enough for my formal hospital holiday party, but I definitely had to do the "bend test" in the mirror a few times before feeling certain about the decision to wear it. I am 5'10", so if any taller ladies are hesitant about length, I would suggest sizing up. Ultimately, this dress is an absolute stunner! The front is classy and the back is just sexy enough to add some edge to the Gatsby-esque vibe. I had a sticky bra that only held for about thirty minutes, but even after removing it I felt completely comfortable allowing the thick material of the dress to lend support. Despite some functional considerations with the dress, it was absolutely beautiful, photographs like a dream, and I received nonstop compliments all evening.

Roll Out the Red Carpet!

I rented this Monique Lhullier stunner for a black tie optional wedding, and it pains me so to return this gown! The material is gorgeous -- thick but not too heavy, photographs beautifully, and looks almost like leather in certain lighting. The hi-low hemline and asymmetrical shoulder made it feel formal but edgy -- my husband said it's his favorite RTR dress to date! I'm 5'10", and wore this dress with 5" Badgley Mischka heels and the 6 Long was perfect. If you're taller and plan to wear heels, I definitely suggest renting the long. I'm a very true size 6, and this gown fit perfectly. I was able to wear a strapless bra but could have probably gone without -- the material and structure provided plenty of support. I received gasps, compliments, and stares all night long -- this is one of my favorite rentals in three years with RTR! :)

Best Bridesmaid Dress I've Ever Worn!

I wore this incredible cobalt blue gown for my sister's wedding this weekend and the compliments were nonstop! The mermaid shape was extremely flattering - fitted but still comfortable enough for an evening of dancing. At 5'10" tall, the extra length was perfect with my 4 inch heels. The dress fit so beautifully that it felt as though it was tailored just for me. Another amazing rental that I was sad to return - thank you RTR, you are simply the best!

Sparkle and Shine - Holiday Party Perfection!

This navy sequin stunner is even more beautiful in person! The color is fun yet sophisticated, making it slightly different from your average LBD. Although the skirt was a little scratchy when dancing, the fit was perfection. At 5'10", the dress hit just above my knees, which made it a hot little number that was still appropriate for a work holiday party. The long sleeves offset the length and made it yet another one of my RTR winners. Compliments abound - would rent this one in every color! Thanks again Rent the Runway - you guys are the best!

This was my 7th wedding so far this year, and with each rental I am more and impressed and in love with RTR! Unfortunately the pic is a bit blurry but I received compliments about this navy lace stunner (especially the back!) all night long! RTR, you're my dream come true :)

Like a Fine Wine!

The color, texture, and fit of this rich wine colored number made it an absolutely perfect dress for a formal summer wedding! The cut was sophisticated and felt covered enough, while the peek-a-boo cut outs made it feel young with just a touch of edge. I opted to wear the size 6 instead of 8 because I felt it had enough stretch while fitting better around the midsection. I'm a tall girl 5'10" with a pair of 4" tall wedges - yet the length of this dress still felt appropriate for a fancy summer wedding. I received compliments from women all night long (not to mention my husband simply loved it!) and I would absolutely rent this stunner again! RTR, you've done it again! Simply the best!

Perfect Bachelorette LBD!

This dress is one of my all-time favorite rentals from RTR! The nude underlay was super sexy while the black lace still made it feel sophisticated. Although the small hugged every curve, it was wayyyy too short for a 5'10" girl like myself - especially with a pair of heels on! I opted to wear the medium for a bachelorette bash and it was an absolute hit. I felt totally confident dancing the night away, and despite the spanx-esque lining of the dress, it was extremely comfortable and easy to wear. Plus, it gets bonus points for being able to wear a regular bra underneath! Thank you RTR - you've done it again! :)

Bachelorette Party Perfection!

I wore this amazing dress for a bachelorette party this past weekend. The sequins add just enough sparkle to keep it fun and sexy while still feeling appropriate for the affair! The material has some stretch to it, which makes it extremely comfortable, however the straps notoriously fell to the sides throughout the evening while dancing. I'm 5'10" and generally a true to size size 6, however even the size 4 which I wore could have been sized down. Due to the shape and structure of the dress it's very forgiving and felt great with a strapless shaper underneath. I received a ton of compliments and would recommend this rental to wear for a bachelorette, birthday, or other fun event! Still so impressed with RTR every time :)

Ballerina Bride!

I rented this dress for my rehearsal dinner and I cannot tell you how hard it was to give it back! The dress was cute enough to please the parents and sexy enough for my husband to love! When I received the dress I put it on and just kept twirling - it's flirty, feminine, and beautiful! I tried both the 6 and the 8 and opted to wear the size 6 for my event. Although it was shorter 8 (I'm 5'10" and wore 3.5 inch wedges), the size 6 - once fully zipped - had a gorgeous bodice that required no bra at all. That being said, I would not recommend this dress for the super busty, as the material is not at all forgiving. The dress is a beautiful off white and tan color - actually darker in person than it photographs - which made it super flattering on my skin tone. I would 100% encourage anybody who needs a little white dress for any occasion to scoop this one up. You will NOT be disappointed :)

A Head-Turner!

This dress was INCREDIBLE and perfect for my company holiday party. It was actually my back-up dress that was shipped overnight because another dress was too large. RTR was extremely accommodating and sent me this stunner in under 24 hours. I wore the dress in a medium and it was the perfect balance between hip-hugging but still had some stretch for dancing. I received a million compliments and will definitely order this dress again!

Understated Elegance

I absolutely adore the Meshing Around Gown! I ordered this dress for a very formal wedding and it was a perfect choice - chic, elegant, and oh so comfortable to wear! The front neckline and side slit are balanced by a simple jersey material that flows as you move. I usually wear a size 6 or 8, and this dress actually seemed a little bit large in the hips in the 6. Also, at 5'10", I opted to order the extra length for the dress. I wore 3 inch heels (couldn't wear my higher shoes due to a recent ankle injury) and the dress was about an inch too long. Had I worn other shoes, it would have been perfect! My only complaint about the front neckline is you must be cautious with choosing undergarments. I wore a deep V strapless corset bra and had issues with keeping the bra out of view on one side. Otherwise this dress is just exquisite and is an ultra-flattering classy choice.

Felt Like a Knockout!

This dress is simply stunning online rack and even better in person! The keyhole back and cap sleeves made it feel sexy and sophisticated - perfect to attend a wedding! The size 6 fit but was shorter and tighter than the size 8. I opted to wear the 8 for the sake of feeling more comfortable sitting and moving. The only problem is you definitely need to wear a low back strapless bra to avoid showing through the lace in the back. Overall I received a ton of compliments and my fiance told me I looked like a movie star! Will definitely use RTR again :)
