Different, fun, light-weight fabric, easy-to-wear shift dress (with killer shoulder pads)
I wore to a more formal summer wedding. I'm in my second trimester and my bump looks more like a Chipotle belly. So it was perfect to "hide" or more distract bc it was beautiful on its own. The shoulder pads were very chic. The material is light weight. I'm 5'9 and it was a perfect length on me. I received so many compliments. Great RTR dress! Highly recommend!

Beautiful dress but runs much smaller than Jill Stuart dresses
Loved the color, neckline, length, fabric - everything! BUT I've worn this designer multiple times. This dress was not consistent with other styles. The 8 was uncomfortably tight, and the 10 was just too big. I taped it and went w the 10 bc I didn't want to pull at it all night. But I was disappointed in the sizing. Gorgeous dress other than that. Neckline and length were my favorite part. The neckline was more dramatic in person than model pic, which was beautiful.

Beautiful dress! RTR fav!
I wore this to a wedding I was in. I'm 15 weeks pregnant in this and wanted something with a high neckline that wasn't boxy. The lace, gathered waist, and high neckline were gorgeous. The large was too large in the top even though I have a large chest. So I chose the medium. I have long legs but my midsection and top are larger (even before I was pregnant), and I will rent this dress again when I'm not pregnant! It hit a little above mid-thigh, but it was fine a little short bc the neckline/top are conservative. The waist gathered at my natural waist perfectly. The neck is feminine, so I wore my hair up to show it off. Love this dress so much. When I put it on my husband said, "I love Rent the Runway..." Another good RTR experience+dress

Great shift!
I wore this to a rehearsal dinner. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and wanted a shift with a high neckline. This dress was perfect for accomplishing that. It's a great silhouette for a shift without being boxy, a perfect length and the material is light while still feeling expensive. It's more structured than I thought. The medium would have been fine too, but the Large gave more room in the chest. The back tie detail and the gathered neck is beautiful and more fun than formal. It has a thin lining too so no worries ab seeing bras or panties through the dress.

Best Choice
I wanted something that was the alternative to a long black dress for a formal event. So this dress was perfect. It's very formal looking in person and in photos. It's comfortable too. It was fully sequined, but not uncomfortable. The high neck gives it an edgy look. The sleeves were fitted but with plenty of stretch, which made it even more tailored. It was not short. It hit me mid-thigh. I'm 5'10. So if you're short, it will be almost to your knees. The lining didn't cling, and I never adjusted this dress all night.

Edgy yet formal
Another RTR customer service win. The dress I originally ordered was not going to be able to be delivered. So I got this dress, but it was probably better than the original. The dress's material is very luxurious. It's comfortable but very flattering. The cut of the waist is also flattering if you are self-conscious ab your stomach area. The back and sides are more revealing than I thought, so if you're looking for conservative, this isn't the dress. The slit was a great touch. It is short even though I ordered the long. But the slit helps w the length too. It is a trendy option for a formal event. I wouldn't say it's "classic." But it's perfect for a fun, black tie event!

Awkward peplum
This was my backup dress, and I didn't wear it. It was pretty, but there were some negatives. The peplum was awkward on me. It is not necessarily flattering because it cuts off in the middle of your stomach. So it doesn't hide anything. The material is also relatively thin. The material is a good texture with a lining, but if you're looking for structure, this is not the dress. It is light weight though if you are headed somewhere formal in the summer/spring.

Not right for all body types
I'm athletic, taller, and my mid section is not my favorite part of my body. I don't know if it was the larger pattern, tighter fit, longer length, but it did NOT flatter my stomach area. It was past my knees, which I thought would accentuate my height and legs. But it still didn't look great on me. The cut outs are very tasteful and do highlight your waist well. Overall though, it's as pictures. Just know your body type.

Perfect for the occasion
I actually got the 8R. I wore this to my rehearsal dinner! It was a huge hit. The material is thick and comfortable. The cut outs are classier options (no side boob) if you want that. I loved it!!!

Perfect fit!
This dress is very flattering. Despite the tight look, it has a supportive and thick lining giving it a high quality wear. The color is stand out and the back is subtle but beautiful. I'll probably rent this again! One caveat: the lining at the bottom will peak out. Just pin it!

Perfect dress for a concert
It's so flattering if you have better legs than the stomach area. It's a great color. The low back was a surprise. It's short but not too uncomfortable. It's perfect for a concert or fun party!

Stretched and worn
The gown is not as bright as it appeared in the photos. It also was very stretched out in the arm pit area. I wear a size 8, and the fit was just off. It just was very dull and not exciting for summer engagement party. I would pass on this dress. Also, I had it delivered on Friday. By the time it got in (after 5:00 p.m.), didn't fit/look good, and got in touch with RTR, we only had about 5 minutes to order and ship a new dress, which was too late. I couldn't get one though the RTR helper did tell me in the future I should have it delivered Thursday, which was helpful. I had to make an emergency run to Saks before my party, so the moral of the story: have it delivered Thursday just in case.

Wedding Season MUST
I originally got Pro for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. It paid off the first order. It's wedding season, and I'm using it multiple times for my own engagement party, pictures, as well as for friends! You canNOT beat the customer service via chat or call. I may never buy another dress!

Badly made
I ordered this as a back-up option for a wedding. Another girl ordered it too in a 4 and hers was cute, but the 8 was awful! The chest was ill-fitting and the top of the dress hung out. It was just bad... Maybe only order if you're ordering size 2 or 4

Subtle but beautiful...
I wore this as a bridesmaid dress, and the pictures are so spectacular. The sequins are subtle but awesome. My only caveat-though I wouldn't have changed anything-was this dress shows everything... You can't hide in it. But it was beautiful!
