STUNNING and unique
This jacket will turn you into the fancy lady you've always had inside you who's been making you crave martinis. The double breasted fit is forgiving and looks uh-May-zing with the matching pants but works great with other separates too. I wanna be buried in this suit.

Sparkly & chic
Generous fit with half shirt length. I don't normally show off my tummy (some things should remain private) so I put on high waisted pants and lived my best life. Everything about this blouse is comfy and stylish. Medium weight material holds shape well.

Beyond Cute
I never would have thought this would look good on me but it's very flattering. I got a TON of compliments at work pairing it with some chunky boots and big gold hoops. Some surprising details to consider: it wrinkles REALLY easily. For a 6' tall women the high center hem was a LITTLE high for me and I wore slightly more opaque tights for comfortability. MOST ODD THING: the arm holes are SUPER small. I couldn't even fasten the button. It's barely noticeable because of the sleeve poof, but wow. Wtf? My lower arm never felt more insecure.

These earrings kinda sneak up on ya. They might not seem like much, but they are a beautiful accent. They have sturdy, unusual backs, and are very light and floaty. They're perfect.

Fantastic!
So easy to wear and looks great! Vivid color, unique stretchy material with a very flattering cut. DVF knows what she's doing. This is definitely more casual but with accessories you can bump it up a notch. Great length for a tall gal like me!

Fun piece! The main jewels have some glitter to them which doesnt come across in the pics. This was a perfect match for my dress and very versatile. It can dress down or up very well and is the usual amount of whimsical for the brand.

Gorgeous Dress for a Princess
LOVE this dress but HOLY CRAP is it hard to get the zipper to zip past the ribbon at the waist (it was not a fit issue, but just a sewing reality when you join pieces of fabric). I had a team of people who had to wash any trace of lotion off their hands and one extra person around just to pray. Wow. If you are getting dressed with someone who has strong digits read on to the numerous positives. This fit like a glove and was even a generous length in Regular (I am a human giraffe). The embroidery is STUNNING and the only thing I noticed is that the neckline lace flipped down a little to reveal the nude lining, so I had to adjust it a few times. The straps are adjustable and I took advantage of that. Gorgeous dress.

SO BIG
The color is gorgeous but the style isn't the most flattering--it tends to be tent-like and I wish I had ordered two full sizes smaller. My back always loves an opportunity to make an appearance and the back of the dress is interesting, but I'm not re-renting it smaller.

Easy to wear & Fiercely Chic
Do not underestimate the hotness of this dress. It's cut brilliantly and is sexy as all get out. The material is thick and forgiving, and I think I could have sized down and been happy with the fit, in spite of my wide hips and larger-sized arms that are sometimes challenging to fit. The slit is not too high on a 6' tall female, and I even put some shorts underneath so I could have a few more cocktails. The best part is being able to dress it up or down with accessories. I had a HARD TIME sending this one back. I'd love to own it.

Unicorn approved!
I didn't think this one would fit but I NEEDED something to match a unicorn horn I wanted to wear, and yes...this is my life. This dress is much more impressive ON, and provides a fun but CLOSE to neutral palate and look. Don't want to over-accessorize this one. It has a tiny bit of stretch that compensated for it fitting JUST so. I could move in it and the clear sequins are a really nice sparkly touch. I got some comfort out of blousing up the sleeves. The sequins were a little scratchy around the neck but nothing that kept me from dancing the night away while wearing it. I'm 6' tall and it was a TOUCH too short when I sat, but luckily I wasn't sitting much as there was important dancing to be done. Great fit and unusual pattern. Sensitive skinned wearers beware, but overall this is unique and fun and unicorn-approved. It's like that girl at the office who seems REALLY weird and then you talk to her and realize she's way cooler than you thought.

So Fun & Easy
This dress is comfortable, forgiving, and a sturdy enough material that you won't think about it much. I love a dress that allows you to dress it up or down--and this one is perfect for that. You can't go wrong with this one!

Gorgeous and Classy
This dress doesn't look like much on the hanger, but my RTR stylist suggested it and BOY WAS SHE RIGHT. There's a perfect amount of stretch in the material and the fabric drape across the bust is waaaaay flattering. The dress is a great base for whatever event you're attending--You can go ultra glam with the right accessories, or keep it low key. **Give yourself time to properly press this dress! It's a little stubborn because of the fabric weight--a trade off for a forgiving silhouette. I am 5'11" and I would absolutely recommend going longer for my tall sisters if a longer length is available. I wore dark shoes to draw attention away from the shortness.

Sharp edgy dress
This dress is super easy to wear and a beautiful color (although it does not come across in my photo). The material is a sturdy knit but cool, and even though the cut out pattern goes up VERY high on the leg, I managed not to flash anyone. #miracle The neckline is beautiful and photographs well, and I wore a nude shaper underneath that didn't show even with the cutouts. Overall this dress is a solid bet.

Perfectly spring-y and comfortable
Although the dress has little to no stretch, it is a very flattering cut and very easy to wear. The color was bright and fun, and perfect for an afternoon wedding. You could do ANYTHING in this dress, like field tons of questions from relatives about your personal life, or run away from those people onto the dance floor. Great dress, would definitely rent again.

Gorgeous, classic earrings with a bit of edge
These pair perfectly with the cuff for a look that is noticed but not over the top. Since my hair and dress were very intense, I chose these to add some sparkle but nothing that made me transcend into "little girl playing dress up in her mom's closet." These are stunners in any environment. They're also nice for those who are conservative but still have a pulse.

Bold classy statement (and that statement is "I know how to dress")
At first this cuff felt like a handcuff that I would be shackled in for my event. But it bends just a little. I have a large frame so I used my giantess strength to nudge it a little, and then it wasn't an issue anymore. It's a beautiful, bold gold, and pairs perfectly with the matching earrings. My dress and hair were super loud so I needed something that was a little more reserved, yet still present and accounted for. This is a great classic piece.

Nicely sized to hold essentials
This bag is beautiful and sturdy, with a removable chain that they don't show in pics, which makes it perfect because I drink two-fisted and can never hold a clutch. My Galaxy 6 fit in here, without the case, as well as lipstick, wet wipes, and sticks of gum. It's not huge but it got the job done (my man had to carry my cover up stick--please don't tell him I told you). I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I got so many compliments in this unique, unexpected dress, it was almost annoying
One time I read that Jennifer Garner had people come up to her all the time and say, "You are SO much prettier in person." I thought it was harsh until I saw her in person and realized they were DEAD ON. And the same goes for this dress. It's impossible to capture the vibrant colors and elegance of the dress with anything less than a pro camera and lighting--but trust me. If you see it in person like I did at the RTR store, you will be sold. The fabric is sturdy but drapes gorgeously and takes a bit of work to steam. BUT you can wear your shapewear without it showing, and the cut accommodated several of my strapless bras without them peeking out on the side. If this were my dress I would need the bust tailored because it didn't lay flat near the neck, but a bit of dress tape fixed that up. The TALL length was PERFECT on my 5'11" frame, and I wore 3 inch heels and didn't have trouble with the hem. I went super simple on the accessories and was rewarded with NOTHING distracting anyone from this stunning dress experience. I want to buy this dress...aka Rent the Runway SUCCESS once again.

Sassy pick for cooler weather and events
The print is great! A conservative dress sleeve and neckline-wise, but then, the length! Zing! It was just a TOUCH short on me (I am a 5'11" giant who often has this trouble at RTR). I decided to size up to get more length, and wore the darkest pantyhose I could find. This is a double layer of knit, so FUHGET about it in warm weather. Overall, a great dress on the slightly more casual side due to the knit. But a sexy choice for more professional or serious events...like a wedding in Antarctica.

Stunning, elegant...just perfect
I rented this necklace because of RTRs recommendation, and it was the right choice. It looks like a million bucks and is sleek, sophisticated, and just sparkly enough to not be over the top. This is a great accessory for a busier dress because it is so simple and elegant, but it can also class up a plain dress for a more professional or minimalist look. It's the rare piece that straddles the line and can work for you either way. I am looking for one to buy, because it will never go out of style. Rent this piece!

This dress is classy and impressive
The dress is the perfect mix of comfortable and classy. The fabric is of high quality and looks pitch perfect--even better than the pictures. Because it is so stretchy, make your alternate size one down from what you normally wear. It actually stretches out relatively fast and lost its shape a little bit at the bottom hem (but wasn't noticeable from other people's vantage point, just from above). This is a little more conservative and although it has a little sheen, it's not the most daring piece. Nice for business events or for the more body con dresser.

Unbelievable necklace
This necklace is way more stunning in person than in photos. It isn't very heavy, which makes it lie crooked at times unless you tie it close to your neck. If you need it to lie a little past your collarbones it will be beautiful but don't count on it to stay in place--you'll be constantly adjusting it. Overall it's a definite eye catcher that will certainly be the centerpiece of your outfit. I ended up not wearing this with my dress (hence the tee shirt in the picture), because it instantly made the partially-patterned dress too busy, so you may want to err on the side of plainer dresses as an accompaniment. Or it would look fabulous with a white tee, sexy jeans, and fierce heels.

This dress is one in a million.
I am 5'11" and normally an 8. I spent every night between ordering and receiving this dress praying to whoever would listen that the (highest size available) size 6 fit. Nature's cruel joke was that the dress zipped up and was long enough in the sleeves, but showed entirely too much leg without charging admission. I couldn't sit down in it. The only way it would have been remotely acceptable is if the theme of the party was Basic Instinct. As long as you are not a giant among women like me, you should rent this dress and enjoy. It is unique, classy, sexy, and has WOW factor. Plus the construction is so solid, it seems impossible for it to wear over multiple renters. Rent this one and enjoy your new found hotness!
