Cute and fun
Fit as expected given other reviews I read. Fabric was fairly wrinkled and needed steaming before wearing. Ending up wearing another dress that I rented. Would have worn if I had another event to dress up for that weekend. Maybe another time.

Classic Look
I wore for my daughter's baptism. I felt like Jackie O and was told look was very Kate Middleton - both classy ladies so you can't go wrong with this dress. Thick fabric helped my confidence with post baby body and helped keep me warm given the cooler weather. It's also a very comfortable dress!

Perfect accessory
Earrings were the perfect accessory to a solid white dress I wore for my daughter's baptism. Classic, timeless look.

Pleasant surprise in a backup dress
This was my backup dress if my other rental didn't work. Going in i wasn't that thrilled with it. Got it on and my impression did a 180. The dress is incredibly flattering. Having an hourglass, I was afraid the dress would make my boobs look larger and not really give me much of a waist line - the dress made me look smaller all over. That's a win! My original rental worked out and this did too - so we made plans so I could wear the dress out.

Fun dress for anniversary date night
What a fun dress for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Husband loved it and received compliments all night. There is no give in fabric given the sequins, so size up. I did, but not as much as I should have - more snug than I would've liked in places. Was most snug in waist.

Kate Spade is always fun!
I rented for my Aunt's wedding. I was a little overdressed for this casual wedding, but I didn't care - I was enjoying the day and the dress. Length of the dress was longer on me than I expected. I thought it would hit just above my knee and it hit below, which made me look shorter than I already am. Little give in the fabric so size up to give you breathing room. Vibrant green is a great pop of color that will turn heads.

Glamorous and Sleek - can't go wrong
This was not the dress I thought I was going to rent for my friend's wedding. I changed things up closer to her big day. And I'm glad I did. I was incredibly grateful for the petite size - there is nothing worse than rocking a floor length dress and tripping over it because even with heals you are too short for the dress. The length was perfect! I was able to dance the night away with no problems! So if you are short like me - get the petite! You won't regret it. I guess you would call the part under your arms the arm hole art of the dress??? Well, it dipped lower than I expected. Consequently it didn't matter which strapless bra I tried, you were going to see it. Ultimately I went braless - dress still looked like a million bucks.

Fun Birthday Dress
Rented for my birthday - and it was perfect. Comfy and flattering. The sleeves are fun and flirty. Both the 12 and 14 fit, but liked the extra room in the 14 - especially since we were eating hibachi for dinner. And you know you have a winner when your friend says, "I think I rented that dress before."

More bangles than I thought
If I had longer arms I think I could have rocked all the bangles. Ended up wearing only half of them.

Made floor length dress not a mile long
Being just over 5ft tall, dresses are often way too long... long enough to puddle at my feet. This helped shorten a beautiful dress I wore to a friend's wedding. It was a lifesaver. A must have for future rentals of floor length dresses.

Comfy and Eye Catching... with Pockets!
I received so many compliments on this dress; both at the wedding and days after. It was perfect for a wedding at the art museum. The pockets were great for keeping my phone. Any dress with pockets is considered a win in my book. God bless hem tape - used plenty to get dress short enough so I wouldn't trip or drag the floor. And this is with heals on. So if you are short like me (5ft 1in), I highly suggest getting the hem tape with your dress. Would love to rent again; just need an excuse to do so!

Changing it up with some red
This was a backup dress for when my original rental didn't fit. Wish I would have rented a size 14 so I had more room in the chest. Otherwise it was a fun dress to wear for an afternoon date.

Fits like a glove
So happy this dress came in a petite! It hugged me in all the right places that I know if I had a regular length dress it wouldn't have been the same. There is just enough give in the fabric to stay secure but also allow you to move. Having large breasts, I typically steer clear of strapless dresses. I didn't have to hike up the dress once the entire night! And this was even with playing with animals up for adoption at the Fur Ball. I must give a shout out to the RTR customer service team - they were awesome! This was a dress they overnighted because the original dress I rented for the event didn't fit. Asking for specifics on my measurements, they were able to lead me to a dress they had available that would have a greater chance of fitting. Thank you so much!

Almost perfect
Wish I could have worn this dress but it was simply too tight in the chest for my build. The dress fit perfectly otherwise.

Comfortable Easter Dress
The fabric gives this dress a lot of bounce - perfect for spring. There is also a lot of stretch in this dress. The fabric is also thicker so it was warmer than I had expected - which turned out to be perfect given typical spring weather where you may or may not need a sweater. I had hoped that the floral waistline would have taken emphasis away from my chest, when instead it emphasized.

Perfect Easter Dress
I wore this dress for the Easter Vigil and received so many complements. Because of the boat neckline, if you are busty like me, go up a size; otherwise it will be mighty snug. The pockets are also a wonderful surprise to this dress. Such a fun dress - hated to return it.

Perfect for New Years!
This dress will catch everyone's eye! So many complements during dinner and the party afterwards. Very comfortable - almost felt like a nightgown. Such a fun dress.

Never have I received so many complements on my dress at an event!
The dress hugs you in all the right places. To my surprise there was a lot of give in the fabric - similar to a trumpet cut, my legs had a lot of room to move around which was perfect for dancing the night away. Not what I expected given all the lace. With heals the length was perfect. This dress is clearly a favorite for Rent the Runway fans - I had two girls at my friends wedding mention how they were considering the same dress for the event and loved being able to see it in person. Felt incredibly beautiful.

Sadly I wasn't able to wear this dress as I had hoped to - reason to rent again.
The dress fit like a glove and felt beautiful... I just couldn't get it zipped the last inch because there was not enough room in the bust. If I could have gotten it zipped all the way, I would have loved to rock the dress to my friend's wedding. Length with heals was perfect as the dress barely graced the floor. If I had the dress in the next size up maybe I would have been able to wear the dress to be able to accommodate in the bust; otherwise, great dress! Will have to try it again in the next size.
