Frumpy, didn't wear
I wanted to love this, definitely not for curvy women unless you're sizing way up.

Fun Dress, lots of cleavage
This dress feels very feminine and beautiful, but I was literally busting out of the top. Wore to work and couldn’t find a safety pin so I hid all day. Aside from the major cleavage, I loved the dress.

Thinner material than I was hoping
I thought this skirt was going to be a thicker, more luxurious material than what arrived. It was weirdly tight without stretch and I didn’t end up wearing it. Was disappointed because it looks beautiful in the model photos and it wasn’t what I expected upon arrival.

Thick material, awkward slits
I really wanted to love this skirt, but the front + back slits and the a-frame silhouette made it feel awkward and not as classic as I was hoping.

Love this dress!
Vibrant beautiful pattern, easy styling. I wore this for a date, bridal shower and to work, would definitely rent again! Bubble sleeves do give ” 90s church dress” but they’re not overpowering. Lots of compliments.

Fun work dress
Easy to style dress, I wore it to a conference and a day at the office. Gets very wrinkled quickly so I did have to iron after pulling it from my suitcase. Female gaze vibe as there are a lot of layers. I got lots of compliments.

Fun casual dress
I wore this dress 3 times - casual Friday to the office, dinner party and sports outing. It was fun, pretty shape and easy to style. It does wrinkle quickly but that just a factor of the fabric. Not particularly “flattering” so I would say this dress is more for the female gaze to feel feminine and fun.

Stretchy, versatile
This beat my expectations - the material is stretchy (almost crepe) but holds its shape. I wore for family photos, a party and to work, it was a versatile dress that looked great in multiple settings.

Wanted to love it
The pattern and color are beautiful but I didn't realize (or notice) in the model photos that there are a pair of buttons that go down the pleats. Seemed like a cheap add-on and made the whole vibe feel less polished. Wore once

Fun, female gaze approved
This dress was a surprise hit. My husband wasn’t impressed but let me tell you the VOLUME of women that stopped me all day to compliment the dress - at least 25 throughout the day, including in the street and grocery store. It’s designed for the female gaze. Flattering, complimentary colors and texture, fun but also safe for work. I loved this dress - Friday business, brunch, Galentine’s Day, could work for any number of occasions.

Tight zip
The dress fit fine except the zip, which didn’t have any stretch and sadly didn’t work for me. If I had sized up, the dress would have been far too big so I wasn’t able to wear this style. Pretty fabric though

Good fit even at 35 weeks pregnant
Good fit on the dress, wore to my sprinkle shower at 35 weeks pregnant. I refrained from 5 stars because the detail eyelets are straight through, which seemed a little exposing as it's throughout the dress. Comfortable and I'm glad I rented.

Poofy and fabulous
I wore this skirt with a beaded dress (also RTR) to take early "wedding" photos with my grandmother who unexpectedly became very ill a few weeks before our wedding. It was poofy- some static- but the skirt was fun, flirty and definitely a hit! Photographs very well.

Great beaded LWD
This dress is really beautiful! I wore it to take pre-wedding photos with my grandmother who unexpectedly became very ill two weeks before our wedding. I didn't want to send the dress back! Fitted and sexy is balanced with the long sleeves. I wore it with a tulle skirt for a "bridal" look" but it was beautiful on its own.

Striking dress! Bold plunging neckline
I rented this dress for engagement photos and it definitely didn't disappoint! It looks beautiful on and photographs very well. The color is a silky wine and the material looks très chic. Small ruffle detail on the shoulder is a vintage detail that adds a little extra intrigue. A few things to keep in mind: the plunge on the neckline is no joke. It goes down below the bust (on me it hit at the stomach)- no room for a bra! Probably not the right dress for a wedding or conservative affair. Also, the zipper kept catching due to the material as well as its installation so I had a hard time getting it zipped (not at all because of fit). Overall a great dress and I'm pleased with the rental.

Fun summer dress, runs a little long
This dress was fun to wear! It was lightweight and the color was really pretty in person- I wish I had gotten a photo! Just a word of caution, the dress is pretty long. I am 5'5" and wore 4" heels and I was still tripping on the bottom of the dress. There isn't any support for a larger bust, so smaller up-top girls may find this more flattering/comfortable. Overall though, it was a good dress.

Beautiful dress, not for curves
The dress really is beautiful in person which is why I gave it four stars. However, I was unable to wear it because it is definitely meant for someone who has a more long and lean/straight figure than curves. I wanted to wear it but it was simply too tight in the hips to look polished.

Fabulous white dress!
I rented this dress for my bridal shower, it was a tea party and the dress was a big hit! I received so many compliments about the dress (not just because it was my shower). Definitely curve hugging but much more comfortable than I originally expected! The material is stretchy and surprisingly lightweight but certainly requires Spanx to smooth out everything. If you have curves, this dress shows them off beautifully without being tacky. I would highly recommend the dress, I felt great and I loved it!

Pictures don't do it justice!
This dress is really pretty in person, the overlay detail adds a little extra dimension. I rented this dress for my bridal shower and received so many compliments! The knee to mid-calf part of the dress is a fabulous detail- it doesn't show up well in the photos I have but it looks great in person. Fun dress, really flattering and comfortable!

Fun dress
This dress is really pretty in person, hits below the knee and has flowing, lightweight material. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite able to zip it in the back so I didn't wear the dress but would definitely rent again when I'm a bit more toned up!

I rented this for a spring wedding and it was perfect. There was a blizzard the day of the wedding so the sleeves were fantastic. The dress fits well and the back is really fun! I recommend this dress and would rent it again.

Fun dress but not my favorite
The dress was a little big, particularly on top and the colors are much more bubble gum and bring pink versus the raspberry skirt and lighter top in the model photos. It worked well for a winter wedding because it was a pretty heavy gown. Fun dress to dance in and people definitely complimented me on it all night! Overall, I enjoyed the dress but it wasn't my favorite rental.

The dress is more mint color than in the photos and the fabric is terribly thin. It was fine for what the use but it certainly wasn't my favorite and it wasn't something I would rent again.

Really beautiful dress!!
I had to order a size down because I procrastinated and the 4 wasn't available. However, it had just enough stretch that I made it work! There were a few people that actually stopped and stared! The nude material is very cool, there is a sheer batting material over the nude fabric so it gives the illusion of a very revealing gown without being inappropriate. The dress definitely fits true to size, a 4 would have looked better on me but I loved it anyway!!

This dress was a "back-up" for a wedding but I loved it so much that I wore it to the rehearsal dinner! It runs a bit long so be sure to wear taller heels. The colors are beautiful and it is a very flattering fit! People were gushing all night, definitely a stand-out dress!

This dress is really nice, heavy fabric and subtle details. I didn't get to wear it to the event I planned but I would have! A note- the skirt is really full. If you feel bottom-heavy, this might not be the right dress for you.

Fabulous dress, runs a bit short!
This dress is stunning. I didn't get to wear it to the event (bachelorette party) due to last-minute change of plans but it is a great dress! Form fitting, beautiful colors and the back is stunning. One caveat is that the material is a little stretchy but it runs short! I have some curves and thought the 4 and 6 fit exactly the same but both dresses were at my mid-thigh if I didn't move. The second I took a step, it crept up! Great party dress though, would have been a hit!

Fabulous dress! Tons of compliments all night!
I rented this dress for a fundraiser gala and it was definitely an attention grabber. Plunging neckline, plunging back and a deep V under each arm gave it a sophisticated, slightly risqué flare to a classic style. The skirt is very full but it is comfortable without being overwhelming. The deep pockets were a surprise detail that I absolutely loved. The color is a bit more pink rose than blush in person. I received tons of compliments all night from friends and strangers alike. People were gushing over the color and the cut!! This is an ideal dress for a cocktail party, spring/summer wedding and for special events such as the Kentucky Derby. **FIT NOTES**: this dress runs true to size with a few minor exceptions. The top half runs a little large if you're like me and have a B/C cup size. The back is a bit loose so I would recommend fashion tape to secure. I had to pull up the straps often when dancing but it was a minor detail that didn't really bother me.

Beautiful dress, really short!
I rented this dress for my nephew's dedication and I was disappointed that it was much too short to wear to a church! It was a little too from fitting and well above my mid thigh--I was sad to return it unworn as it is a great dress. I do have a bit more curves than the model, perhaps that is why it was too short! I think the stress would be best for someone who has a straight or petite frame... Ladies with a bigger butt (and cannot lie) will probably have the same issue as I encountered.

Ideal dress for work or a business formal event!
I am in the long process of renovating a house so almost all of my stuff is in storage. I was getting tired of wearing the same old same old to work every day and thought that I would spice it up with another fabulous rent the runway dress. I rented this one and another and one, which were both definitely good choices! This dress was awesome! Fashionable, chic and appropriate for a formal work environment! This dress is long enough to come to the knee and just modest enough to wear to work in a professional office setting. Runs true to size, has a little bit of give. Comfortable! I highly recommend this dress and my only regret is not taking a picture in it!

This dress is long enough to come to the knee and just modest enough to wear to work in a professional office setting. The colors aren't too bright to wear the winter or too dark to wear in the summer, the material is sick enough to be substantial and looks great! Runs true to size, has a little bit of give.

Great dress!
I didn't end up wearing this dress to a wedding that I rented it for but the dress fit true to size and it was more comfortable than I expected! It is definitely SHORT (which is why I ultimately selected my other RTR dress) but there is a thick jersey (almost t-shirt) material under the black detail that is very comfortable. The shoulders seem bulky until the dress is all the way zipped and then it is very chic. This dress is a lot more fitting for a cocktail party!!

I rented this dress and wore it to a baby shower and then out to dinner. The colors are bright (not quite as bright as shown in the photos) and they are stunning. Comfortable fit, beautiful details and I got tons of compliments. The hi-low detal isn't as noticable in person but it is perfect for flats or if you want to wear heels. I would rent it again!!

This was a fabulous dress! I rented a 2 and a 4--both fit but the 4 was a tad bit longer so I opted for the larger size. I received lots of compliments all night and it was quite flattering! Fair warning, it did bunch up when seated, which for me looked funny but it wasn't a big deal overall. Loved the pockets!!!
