Gorgeous dress but…

Best for smaller busts. I am a 36C and I was not comfortable with the amount of cleavage so sadly, did not wear. Otherwise, it’s a stunning dress that runs true to size.

If you have hips of any kind, size up! Even though this dress is sparkly, I felt that the colors were somewhat muted - didn’t wear it.

Beautiful Dress

Loved the dress, but be warned...there is little to no stretch. I usually wear a medium in dresses and ordered the large for this one - glad I did because it fit like a glove. I wish the dress were longer, I prefer having my shoes covered for full-length gowns, but I made this work. For reference, I am 5'7" and the dress hit the top of my feet. Still, lots of compliments!

Almost right

If the bottom silhouette had a slight A-line shape, this dress would have been perfect. It’s not the most flattering option for those with a curvier backside, but it would work well for those with a straighter figure (and a smaller bum!)

Perfection!

I loved everything about this dress! I thought the material was going to be too casual for a formal event, but it wasn't at all. The color is striking in person, and you could still wear a bra even with the open back! I ended up with the large - I am usually a size 8...the arms were slightly snug, but you couldn't tell. I think this dress runs a little tight, and I would size up especially if you're bigger on top.

Better for straighter hipped people

I think this dress was intended for less curvy people. It accentuated the bad on my body. If you have any type of back fat and I don't have much, you will see it. Also, the bottom part accentuates your hips. I'm still giving it four stars because it was very well made and a beautiful dress; just not for me.

This is one of my favorite rentals but I am so so glad I read the other reviews about sizing up. A size 10 fit me like a size 6 Ann Taylor does. If you have straight hips, I would still size up because of the top. If you are curvy, I would recommend bumping up two sizes. I received many compliments on this dress. I would definitely rent it again. I paired it with nude ankle boots.

I am a lot smaller up top and fuller on the bottom. I don't think I would recommend this dress for pear-shaped people. I had to go with the 8 because of my bottom half, but the top was a bit too big. I don't want to take away from how gorgeous the dress is, though. The color is vibrant and it was perfect for the semi-formal wedding I attended.

I paired this with a white belt, and received a lot of compliments. I'm 5'7 and I had to wear wedges in order to keep the dress off the floor. It's such a super comfortable dress, and I love how the top of it covers your cleavage, and I didn't even have to pin it. I will rent this dress again.

Not for me

You see this dress and you think it will be super flattering if you have a smaller top, smaller waist and you're a bit fuller in the hips - but no, not the case. I guess my frustration started when my dress AND my back-up dress both came sans belt. I reached out to Rent the Runway, and received a response over the weekend, which was great. Then, I got home and tried the dress and it was terrible. The top fit well, the bottom is SO bulky with layer of fabric that it actually makes you look way wider and hippier. I think this dress would work best with someone with straight and narrow hips who are looking for curves.

I wore this with a floral dress. They're beautiful earrings - with just the right amount of weight. If you're prone to losing earrings, I recommend using backings with these. The part that goes into ear isn't very long.

Engagement Photo; Sensational

I chose this as one of the dresses for my engagement photo, and let's just say the photographer and I were SO in love with it, I didn't even do an outfit change. If you carry most of your weight on the bottom half of your body, you can and should definitely go down a size. I'm 150 pounds and wore a size 2 - still, the straps were too long and I had to use double-sided tape to keep them in place. I highly recommend buying the double-sided tape, too. This way, you can wear the sleeves slightly off your shoulder - it's a beautiful neckline.

I thought my boobs looked enormous in this dress, and for a lot of people that would be great, but I'm a little self-conscious about mine. I would recommend this dress for pear-shaped figures...smaller on top, and fuller hips.

This dress is perfect!

This was my back-up dress, and it ended up being the one that I wore. I am pretty curvy - and I wore the 4R, and the top was still a little loose (I'm a 34C) - the rest clung to me pretty well. I would not recommend this dress if you are insecure about your stomach. If you have one, you can't hide it in this dress. The color is gorgeous. It was nice to be in a sea of people and not have anyone in the same color as you.

Too complicated of a dress for me

I am so glad I ordered a back-up dress, because this dress definitely looks a lot better on the model. There are two pieces or straps that are hanging off the dress, and everyone who saw it were confused as to how there were supposed to lay on the dress. Girls who are curvy - this is not the dress for you. The cut stops right at the hips, and there is NO give or stretch, so if you're an hourglass or a little fuller on the bottom - this will not work for you. Lastly, this dress comes very very wrinkled. Be prepared to have a steamer with you. There are so many layers of fabric, ironing it will be difficult.

The bridesmaids were definitely wishing they were wearing this dress instead of theirs. :-)

I have a big booty and a small waist, and this dress does a great job of accentuating all of the above while keeping it classy. It's very flattering on most body types. I had a heck of a time pulling up the zipper, but it all worked out in the end, thankfully. This is a very vibrant red - I think it's pretty close to the photo the model is wearing. I was really praying the song Lady in Red came on...it didn't - but my boyfriend sang it in my ear at the wedding. It's definitely a belle of the ball type of outfit. I paired it with a royal blue and aqua necklace.

Felt like a celebrity in this dress :-)

I ordered the 4L and the 6L, and ended up going with the 4L. I am pretty pear shaped and this dress was very flattering on me. I received a lot of compliments throughout the night. I also rented the necklace and bracelet, too, which were great additions. The Long is very very long. I'm about 5'7" and had four inch heels on, and the dress still dragged a little. Still, I preferred it a little longer than having it too short. Also, I started the night with my hair down and the side bun thing later in the evening. This dress is definitely better with your hair off your shoulders.

Not aqua at all

I rented this to be paired with the Badgley Mischka Faye Chiffon Gown, because I thought some aqua might make the dress a little more casual. Sadly, I'm a ding dong and simply judged the earrings on the picture and not the title: Nyla EMERALD Earrings. Emerald does mean green, and despite the picture looking aqua, they are in fact green like their title indicates.
