Super flattering and sexy
Rented this for a charity ball and received lots of compliments. The dress is very flattering and super comfy. I am pretty straight from my rib cage down to my hips (no waist) and this dress gave me curves. I would definitely recommend it to others!

Perfect bling
When I first saw this bracelet I didn't like it because it is not typically my style. But it quickly grew on me and turned out to be the mystery bling sent to me. I was so glad it was and received compliments all night.

Runs small, wish I could have worn
This dress ran a bit too small, so I was not able to wear it to my girls weekend/reunion. Rent the Runway customer service, however, is amazing and very helpful and sent me another dress to try.

Runs small
I rented this for a ladies weekend/reunion and this dress ran small so could not wear. Rent the Runway customer service is amazing, though, and will rent dresses from them again in the future!

Not heavy, beautiful earrings
I rented these with the Nha Khanh Karla dress (the earrings pictured on the model) and was very happy with them. They were not heavy at all, and was easily/comfortably able to dance with them in all night long. Would rent again!

Super fun dress, lots of compliments!
This dress was great for my girls weekend/reunion. As other reviewers mentioned, the tulle had to be smoothed out a bit from shipping but it was very easy to do so. Fit is true to size (I wore one size up than usual only because I've gained a few pesky pounds personally, not because of the dress itself) and I received tons of compliments.

Stunning dress! And it has pockets!
This was a back-up dress that Rent the Runway sent when my original one was unavailable. Loved it! It was a teensy bit wrinkly when I took it out of the box, but I hung it up and the wrinkles fell out so I didn't have to press it. And being only 5' 2" the dress even with 3" heels was a bit long, but I just held it up a little when I walked--it wasn't too long that I couldn't dance in it. The black sequins on top were even more beautiful in person. Loved the pockets on the dress, too. So glad I rented this dress--you will be glad, too!

Great color, runs small in ribcage
At 5' 2" I'm always glad when they offer dresses in petite sizes. I sized up for my back-up dress, based on other reviews. Unfortunately, the larger size came in damaged from the previous renter so they could only send the smaller size. I have a large ribcage--I could fasten the hook and eye closure but I was not able to zip up the dress all the way (I might have been able to, if someone was around at the time to help me). So I did not end up wearing this dress. But, as usual, the Rent the Runway customer service is amazing and they overnighted me a different dress in plenty of time for my event and everything worked out very well.

Beautiful accent piece!
I rented these to go with a green gown, but ended up wearing different earrings, so loaned these to my friend. She said they were very comfy, not too heavy. She did remove them during the reception, though, when we were dancing up a storm! But overall, I thought they looked even better in person than in the photos and I'd rent these again--next time for ME to wear!

Great dress shape
This was a back-up dress for a 1930s Hollywood glamour-themed wedding I attended. I didn't end up wearing it. I have a large ribcage and could barely get the 6P zipped up. But at the same time it was too big in the hips for me. So, when I say it runs "true to size" I mean it averaged out with the top too small and the bottom too large. Beautiful color, though, and it was great that a strapless bra wasn't necessary with the boning in the dress.

Much better than I thought!
This was one of the first RTR dresses I fell in love with, when browsing the site. And it turned out to be perfect for a 1930s-themed wedding. The original size I ordered (6P) came in damaged from a previous rental, but RTR gave me 2 weeks notice--plenty of time to find a new dress to wear. This is the 8R (back-up size) they sent. I almost wore it to the wedding. Other reviews are right: it runs small, it is a little tight at the shoulders. But since I have a small chest and am not curvy, this dress worked for my body type. I ended up going with a different dress that I felt didn't show my love handles, but almost wore this one. I also must take a moment and praise the RTR customer service for helping me select a new dress for my occasion. This was the first time I used RTR and am so glad I added the PRO membership!

Such a flattering dress!
When I rented this dress I wasn't too excited about it--c'mon, a red strapless dress? Not too exciting. But it was so flattering on that I instantly fell in love with it! I am not a curvy girl, so the ruching gave me more of a shape. I didn't end up wearing it to the 1930s Hollywood glamour/red carpet wedding, but it was a good thing as the bridesmaids were wearing the same shape dress. I would rent this dress again--so I can actually wear it!

Perfect accessory
Loved these earrings--was even perhaps more excited to receive these than my dress! They did not disappoint. Perfect length. They did not seem heavy at all, but I did take them out before I did some serious dancing at the wedding I wore them to. Would definitely rent these again!

Stayed in place, gave a little bit more!
Glad I bought these to put in my strapless bra, just to give my small girls a bit more shape. They did not move around even when I was jumping up and down, dancing up a storm. Looking forward to using these again and again!
Not flattering for those with no curves
I wasn't totally in love with my original RTR dress, so I tried this one. The back of the dress is beautiful and the color was rich, but my body type is very straight (with not much of a defined waist)--and where the mesh hit my waist was not flattering at all. Needless to say, I did not end up wearing this dress. But it appeared to fit true to size and was comfy.

Super comfy and flattering!
I opted not to go with my original dress, but this one RTR overnighted to my hotel for a 1930's Hollywood glamour-themed wedding. I wish they had a 6P (I'm 5' 2") because the 8P was a bit too big on me, but I was still so happy with the dress. It was great being able to wear a regular strapless bra with this dress. The only minor things were that I thought the shadow from the ruching at the waist in pictures made my stomach look like it stuck out more than it did (a problem I am pretty confident would not occur if I had worn a smaller size dress), and that the dress is a beautiful, vibrant purple but appeared more blue in many photos (but still a pretty blue color). With heels, the dress was the perfect length--and when I took my heels off during the night to dance, the length was still ok to dance in. This was my first RTR experience and I am looking forward to my next rental!
