WAY too short and fitted through the hips
I am 5'6 and usually a 2 or 4 in dresses. This was scandalous in a 4. This looks like a dress you'd wear for work/church/another occasion where you want to be classy but cute...and yet it's cut like something you'd wear to the club. I'd want to size up 2 sizes for an appropriate length and fit through the hips/backside, but then the cutout at the chest would show massive cleavage. It could be cute on the right body type though. Unless you have absolutely no curves, pass on this.

Super cute and comfortable
This is a great just-for-fun rental. I thought it looked fantastic in person and so did my husband. The first words out of his mouth when he saw me in it were "if that's Rent-the-Runway you have to buy it, it looks too good on you not to!" I thought the fit was spot-on. It's not too baggy. I am usually a 2 or a 4 and the 4 was perfect. Only downside is it doesn't photograph well. It's super comfortable and would be great for when you want to feel cute but won't be taking tons of pics!

So fun and flattering
Loved this! Was tempted to buy. The print and color palette are just so happy. I didn't realize it from the pictures but there is some olive mixed in too, which is a pleasant surprise. I struggle finding midi-length dresses that feel flattering, but this one definitely did.

Cute and good fit but a little short
These fit great. Very comfortable to wear all day. On the hanger they looked a little small and I was worried they would be unflattering on curves but they are actually really flattering. They would be 5 star if they were just an inch or two longer. I know the shorter length is "in" but these feel like they're veering into old-school capri territory.

Fun way to try the cropped flare trend
These were a great intro to the cropped denim trend. I liked the stiffness of the denim. They were a teeny bit tight in the upper thigh when I first put them on but loosened up just the right amount fairly quickly. Only thing I didn't like was there was a little bit of distressing at the hems and edges of pockets. Not noticeable unless you're looking up close though.

Cute but requires patience
This made me feel very put-together for a day of WFH. The front tie is kind of tricky though. Since I was just wearing it at home, I gave up trying to get the front part tied perfectly after a few attempts when I got dressed. Consequently, I felt like I was retying it every 5 minutes during the day. I think if you spent the time to get the tie right, it would be really cute. Did not gape at the bust between buttons which was also a huge win.

Just OK - cute enough, but large and itchy
This was just OK. Would rent again if I was going somewhere I needed warm clothes and nothing better was available. It is VERY oversized, not just in length but in body and shoulders as well. Kept me pretty warm though. Would also recommend wearing a long sleeved top underneath if you have sensitive skin - I wore it over a tank and my arms were seriously itchy.

Size up
Rented this based on the rave reviews but it was kind of a letdown. Reviews made it seem like sizing was very forgiving but I literally could not get the top part to zip due to my chest. This fabric really doesn't have much give. The bottom was also really fitted - I think if you want this to look its best, you're going to have a bit of restrained movement.

Huge on top, tight on bottom
The fit on this was really weird. I was practically swimming in the top of this yet the bottom was tight. I could've honestly sized down 2 sizes in the chest and I'm a D/DD. Beautiful dress but skip it unless you are slender hipped and VERY well-endowed.
