Amazing dress but received damaged
This dress was so nice on. It really flattered my shape, was a good length and the thicker fabric really helped cover my problem areas. But, RTR sent me a damaged dress so I wasn't even able to wear it!!! The zipper was damaged and I couldn't close the dress.

Flattering and fun
Every time I get a dress from RTR I say it's my favorite dress yet and this one is no different! I haven't worn a form fitting dress in a while since having my second daughter but this dress made me feel sexy and confident. Recommend spanx and a backless bra but I wore no bra and was fine in the smaller size. The slit and opening in the back were just the right amount of sexy! Definitely recommend this dress.

Bold print, flattering fit
Very flattering shape and fit (with spanx). The colors were beautiful. I was able to wear a regular bra. Definitely recommend this dress!

Gorgeous!
This dress is gorgeous. I loved the different length - it hit me mid-calf. There is tons of stretch which is great but it will show every curve on your body. I recommend spanx!

Beautiful dress
This dress was gorgeous in person. It is a heavy knit fabric which is flattering to the body but will show ever curve so I suggest wearing spanx. I was unable to wear however because the dress sent to me had two holes in the seams.

Gorgeous color, great cut!
I rented this dress for a wedding where I needed to hide my ever growing pregnant belly! This dress was beautiful! The material is a little heavier than expected but it just made the dress look more elegant. The color is a vibrant pink. I cannot comment on the size as I usually wear much smaller!

Cute but not my style
Yo rented this dress for a bridal shower but did not end up wearing it. It didn't fit my chest properly. I am a 34DD.

All Fun and Games Dress

Comfortable, fun and pretty!
This style is not something I would usually wear but I was trying to hide a newly popped pregnant belly! The material didn't have stretch but it still fit my 36DD chest fine. It was tight on the waist and flared just before my stomach. The length was perfect. I would recommend this dress though for a smaller size as the skirt is very flared and made me look bigger than I actually am.

Dot Your Eyes Dress

Fit, color, fabric PERFECTION!!!
I originally rented this dress in a size 8 (the 10 was not available), but the 8 was too small. RTR of course, overnighted me the same dress in yellow (hence the photo). It is the exact same dress, just a different color. I will definitely be renting the blue dress in my size. Everything about this dress was amazing ... The vibrant color and pattern, the lightweight material, the perfect amount of stretch.

Chemical Reaction Dress

Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 14

Bust: 36DD
Color, fit, length, PERFECT!!
This is BY FAR the best dress I've rented from RTR (and I've rented a few!). The color and pattern are very vibrant. You will definitely not blend into the crowd. It complemented my blonde hair perfectly. The material is lightweight and thin, great for a spring/summer event. There is also a bit of stretch to the dress, which worked great for my figure 8. I wore spanx for a more seamless look. I will definitely be renting this dress in the blue color for my next event.

Best rental so far!
This is by far the best dress I have rented from RTR! The fit was amazing. The material is thick, but not heavy. It hugs your body in but covers flaws. I did wear spanx with it though for extra control. I was able to wear a regular bra. The bottom of this dress is perfection!

Rouge Trumpet Dress
Tracy Reese
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 190lbs
Bust: 36DD
Classy yet eye catching!
I rented this dress hesitantly as I am big in the hip and butt area, and usually stay away from anything that is not form fitting. This dress fit beautifully. The full skirt actually made my waist appear smaller. I wore the larger size though to accommodate for the skirt raising up due to my big booty (lol). I received tons of compliments on this dress and will definitely rent this designer again. Can't believe I got a Versace dress for $40!! RTR is my best kept secret!! (Although I do share with my close friends).

Gorgeous Dress
I originally rented this dress for a summer wedding, however I am almost 6 months pregnant and due to the band under the bust line being too tight, I was unable to wear the dress. I was so upset because it is such a gorgeous dress. I will definitely rent this dress again!

Bump Friendly!
I am almost 6 months pregnant and rented another dress for my event, however, due to the band around the waist being too tight, the dress did not fit. I was super nervous because I did not have time to go out and get another dress since my event was the next day. I called RTR right away and was overnighted this dress free of charge! The dress is beautiful.. I rented a size 12L to accommodate my ever growing belly. Usually I wear a size 6 or 8. I cannot comment on the real fit of this dress since I am not normal size right now. However, the color was gorgeous. The cut was very bump friendly. I am 5'7" and the long worked great with 4" heels. You could see the tips of my toes, but in the back the dress touched the floor (probably because of my belly). The neckline is extremely low, but I was able to pin it and wear a regular bra without a problem. The material is also a little heavier than I expected, but overall I was very please with this dress. Thank goodness RTR came through!

Great Color, Great Dress, Bad Fit
I have used RTR a handful of times now and had never been disappointed, until now. This dress was great. The blue was vibrant, the material had a little stretch which was great, the peplum was very forgiving if you don't have a flat stomach, but the bust was way too big. I am a size 34D and It was still too big for me. The worst part was that the boning in the dress was stabbing me all night. The boning had ripped through the liner inside the dress & was not properly sewed back up. I had to keep adjusting the dress all night. I have tiny scratches on my sides from the boning. It's a shame because I really loved this dress.

Not Over You Dress

First time using renttherunway.com... went back & forth a few times over which dress to rent. LOVE THIS DRESS!!! I orders a 6 & an 8, usually i'm an 8.. maybe even a 10.. i had to wear the 6! So it runs a little large. I agree with the other reviews that you need a fuller chest for this dress. The 8 left the back straps way too lose. 6 fit wonderful . only thing i wish was that the description said how long the train was. i wasn't expecting a long train in the back. but i got so many compliments on this dress.

This dress was great & fit everywhere EXCEPT the bust. If you have a large bust, you will be pulling it up all night!
