Not For Petites
Fit thru waist perfectly (true to size), but was really long on my 5'3" frame and the back did a gaping, blousy thing that made the front look frumpy. I suspect if I was 3 inches taller, and more than a small-sized B cup, this dress would've been a stunner.

Body-Hugging Masterpiece
Got lots of long, approving looks all day...great teal color, nice construction, easy to go from day to evening plans. Note: skirt portion is not lined, so get your laser-cut underwear or shape wear ready to smooth you out (if visible panty lines are one of your concerns)

Curve-hugging amazing
Perfect for through waist and hips--fully lined, zip-up slit to adjust for level of sexy you want. Liked the colorful spin on a leopard print. Good option for chilly weather work outfit; paired with black booties. Only downer was that the bust was a little roomier than my figure requires.

Wrong Size recommended
I usually let the app determine which size I rent in clothes from rent the runway, because they know the variances between designers. I was very disappointed to be shipped in 8R that clearly was a true to size 8R, when I am a 4R. I couldn't wear.
Jewel Rosette Lana Dress

Usual Size: 4

Didn't wear--fabric too heavy for heat!
If you are 5'3", expect a "maxi" fit. Low-cut slip under dress layer that is heavy embroidery type material, with delicate mesh connecting the flowers.

Feminine and sweet skirt!
Silk, light and feminine; adored the doves and love letter print. All the style of a wrap skirt, without the risk in a strong wind.

Shimmer & Lace
Sliiiiiiim bodice--but really flattering! The photos do not do justice to the gold thread throughout the lace. Very glamorous!

Compliment Magnet!
This was a great rental--very fun colors--playful vibe, easy to wear. Only caution is that it could snag easily so be careful around pets, kids and cacti!

If you don't mind limited arm mobility...
...then this sleek, stylish dress is for you. Draped just fine when I stood still, but any movement of torso caused neckline to slip aside...awkward at the office much? Could not lift arms straight up over my head. It's a sophisticated look for women who aren't looking to use their full range of motion. It fit perfectly in the waist/hip area, but my guard was up all day between the neckline gaping and the unfortunate breeze that kept catching the skirt and whipping it ope . Would not rent again.
Burgundy Stripe Wrap Dress

Bust: 34B
Classy, versatile dress
Nice, subtle pattern--draped nicely and was very comfortable for the entire work day. The high cut neckline was perfect for the chilly a/c in the office, also would be good for more conservative events (school play, church wedding, even a funeral).
Navy Printed Ruffle Dress

Floaty, fun dress
Unique & feminine silhouette; wore in over-A/C'd environment and it was perfect...but as soon as I got into 80 sun, it became uncomfortable.
Midnight Garden Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"

Bust: 34B
Elegant look & feel (silk!)
Loved the wrap top, without the "risk" of a full wrap on a breezy day.
Eloise Wrap Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"

Bust: 34B
Romantic Dress with a vintage feel
Wonderfully light fabric--fun floral, not at all matronly in style or pattern (always my concern!) Was comfortable until I ate something salty and then the wrap part of the dress started to constrict a bit. Thank heavens the top had a little hook & eye to keep it together, or I wouldn't have been able to wear!
Floral Santorini Dress
YUMI KIM
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 123lbs
Bust: 34B
Great color--compliment magnet!
Fit well--not as plunging in the front as I feared--I'm a 34B, and broad-shouldered, so was more of a "generous v-neck" vibe on me. Nice length & amazing color. It worked great for work followed by dinner out...and I got so many compliments!

Midi for some; near maxi for others
Good quality (lined---so not see-through) dress. Very pretty, got a few compliments. Ultimately, as the temperature climbed (to 75...not that hot) it didn't breathe as well as I'd like. Also, I'm 5'3" and even with a 2 inch heel, it was near-maxi vibe on my frame. It was a nice look, well-constructed and split the difference between my attraction to hippie-bohemian looks and my desire to look more professional at the workplace.

Modern silhouette
So soft! The draping was really elegant. A very relaxed feel, but delivers polished look. The skirt part is lined, so a smooth non-clingy fit. I loved it so much that I didn't want to take it off at the end of the day, and ended up buying it!

A Dose of Victorian for Eveyday
Loved the full sleeves & the eyelet details. The length of the sleeves kept them from getting in the way. A fun look & I got loads of compliments! The length of top was perfect over slim pants. Hit right at my hip points.
Victorian Ruffle Top

Polished Look. Relaxed Feel.
Lightweight, very classy look. Styled it with a denim jacket & ankle booties. Hemline kept it fresh. Only issue (I am not the first one to mention it), the button at the dropped waistband had some gapping, even though the fit was loose. I think the weight of the fabric at this section pulled the button down. I used a small concealed pin to keep it together, which was sort of a pain. Probably won't rent again.

Great color & style
Beautiful dress! Very well constructed--great movement & color. Alas, it was too tight in the rib cage/waist for me to comfortably wear to my event (even with my shapewear), but I will try it again in a M.

Golden dress for a golden birthday
Elegant & unique draping at the top--no bra needed because it is fully lined. Bottom half form fitting but has some stretch, so very comfortable. I felt like I needed some Spanx shorts to keep the gentle dome of my belly from competing with the rest of my curves--but that's a personal choice! I got a TON of compliments and felt like a star on my 50th birthday!
