Loved this!
Loved the fit of this dress!! The cut-out detail was fun and flirty, the material was silky and flowy and while I did use adhesive bra pad inserts, but probably could've gone bra-less if I wanted to. Will note that I'm quite tall and wore heels, and this was still long, so might not work for shorter people.

Amazing sleeveless dress!
I absolutely loved this dress and got compliments on it all night. The fabric is thick but stretchy so it feels very supportive but is also flattering and forgiving. The only negative I found was that the top would occasionally roll over and I would have to re-adjust, it never exposed anything but just needed to be adjusted.

Beautifully flowy bottom and flattering form-fitting top
I wore this for my engagement photo shoot - it started out as a backup to a backup of my original rental choice (long story) but quickly turned into one of the most amazing dresses I have ever worn. When I rented this, the only size close to my preferred size (6) left was an 8. Because the dress was one size larger than I should've been wearing, the bust area was quite big, but a padded bra and some double sided tape fixed that issue. I'm 5'10" and this dragged on the floor a little for me (note that while Rent the Runway said I was getting an 8L, the tag says "8" so this may be a long, just not marked accordingly), but it was a romantic flowy drag, not an "I'm going to trip every 5 seconds" drag. I have already received a ton of compliments on this and felt like an absolute princess in it; would highly recommend for a photo shoot or evening event.

The neckline is perfect!
This fit me very well, the material is thick but has a good amount of stretch so it feels comfortable but supportive. I received many compliments after wearing this to a formal wedding! The only thing I will say is that there is a liner under the top layer and they are not sewn together, so it did require some shifting throughout the night so the liner wouldn't bunch up.

I wanted to love this, but the straps prohibited that.
As everyone before me has mentioned, the straps are way long on this, and you're going to have to pin them. I thought I could get away with that due to my height, but it was impossible to avoid. Along with the long straps, this could easily lend itself toward a wardrobe malfunction in the bust, if you're not careful. Due to all of those factors, I decided not to wear it, but the fabric is lovely!

The backup I never knew I'd love
This was sent o me as a backup because my original dress choice was unavailable. Initially, I was upset about my original dress choice and I wasn't crazy about the criss cross detailing at the bust. However, when I received my rental, this was sent along with my original dress choice and I picked this dress instead. The top has a corset inner so it is very tight, I wore a bra and had to size up with that on, could have possibly squeezed into my typical size without a bra but it didn't look great. Overall, I received many compliments on this, and it was perfect for a Gatsby themed wedding!

Holy Grail
This little purse does it all - the chain was a great length, the back pocket fit my phone nicely, and the inside had a ton of card slots, a zippered space, and room for other items like lipstick or a pen. Highly debated purchasing this at the end of my rental!

Perfect!
Wore this to a Kentucky Derby party and it was perfect! The fit was great, I'm 5' 10" and it was maybe a tiny bit shorter than I would have loved but not too short that it was overly revealing. A plus was that because the fabric was so thick, I didn't have to wear a bra.
