Dress was comfortable and I loved it!
Fit was great and the cutouts and blue liner made it a little different. Really loved this one!

Sparkly, fun dress worn for a black-tie-optional wedding
I am usually a size 4 and had originally ordered a 6 as my back up size. but I'm very happy I ended up switching to a size 2 back up instead after reading through the reviews! I agree with others that the dress does run a bit large. The sizing was very strange, the 4 didn't feel bigger than the 2 except for a little in the hips, and the 4 was actually over an inch shorter than the 2. May have just been the particular dresses I received, but the size 2 ended up being a much better fit. It's really convenient that you can wear a regular bra with it, and I just used some fashion tape to make sure the dress stayed in place in front. As others have said, the sequins aren't the most comfortable thing ever but it didn't leave any scrapes or sore spots under my arms so I think it's worth it! The dress has so much sparkle and is a lot of fun on the dance floor. Loved this rental and got a ton of compliments on it.

Bright fun dress that fits great
This dress was so cute and comfortable, I wish I owned it! The Medium fit perfectly and the black detail makes it very flattering and slimming. It was on the shorter side, but I'm 5'9 so that's pretty much the story of my life. I wore with sparkly flat sandals to keep it wedding appropriate :) Would definitely rent this one again and would recommend this dress!

Comfortable and flattering for a black-tie wedding
I could have worn this dress all day! It's very comfortable and easy to walk, sit and dance in. The back is gorgeous and it looks sheer but actually has a light lining so that you can wear a strapless bra with it without it showing. I ordered a 4L and 6L and ended up wearing the 4L and it fit perfectly. The 6 was too loose in the waist and hips. I'm 5'9 and wore 3 inch heels and the length was just right. The slits in the front go up pretty high, especially when you are walking around so just something to keep in mind!

Perfect stand-alone accessory, nothing else is needed!
These are surprisingly lightweight considering their substantial size. They were very comfortable to wear all night, and I was even jumping around on the dance floor with them on. They were definitely swinging around but never felt heavy. Got tons of compliments and felt like I didn't need any other jewelry since they had so much sparkle!

Didn't love this dress but it was a good backup option
I ordered this dress as a backup option but was happy I didn't end up needing it. It just felt like a lot of fabric, especially around the stomach area. I ordered a 4 and 6 and the 4 definitely fit better in the waist but was still a little loose. The arms are stretchy material so good if you have muscular or larger arms. Another thing to note is that it kept photographing blue even though in person it is very purple! Not sure why.

I want to keep this necklace!!
Loved the sparkle of this necklace! The picture shows the necklace at it's shortest length, and you can make it much longer because of the ribbon tie. I didn't love the look of the ribbon in the back but wore my hair down and you couldn't see it at all. I hope this necklace is available to purchase at some point because I want to own it!

The dress and earrings were a perfect combination!
Absolutely loved this dress! Wore it to a black tie optional wedding with the Silver Flower Earrings and it was perfect. My dress didn't have the removable pads some people mentioned but I wore a strapless bra with it and it worked out great. I did end up pinning the strapless side to my bra just to keep it from sliding down. I usually wear a 4 but the 4 was VERY short on me and the 6 ended up working much better length-wise since I'm pretty tall- definitely a good idea to order the extra size one size up. Also, the bust area is pretty small so may not work on bustier girls. All in all, a great dress and I'm very happy I tried Rent the Runway! *UPDATE* I rented this dress again (2 yrs later) and I did still love it, but it definitely has some more wear and tear on it now. The wires in the bust were completely bent out of shape and I tried my best to re-shape them but they were still a little crooked. Other than that, it is a very flattering and fun dress.
