Very deep cut v-neck - beautiful but too revealing
Pros: beautiful color! Very flattering on olive colored skin. Very traditional old Hollywood glam! Looked great with a fake fur boa & black gloves. Couldn't wear this one due to the fact that the v-neck was just too deep. My boyfriend love it but it was for my companies black tie Christmas party that was Great Gatsby themed. I got sent this dress as a replacement for the original one that I picked. I did not feel like it was tight at all - I am a true size 0 Petite but I am 5'5" and I will say it was much too large in the chest shoulder area. I would have needed one or two inches chopped off the shoulder straps. Didn't want to worry about my bra showing...so I wore the other dress I rented

Art Deco Perfection!
I collect Art Deco jewelry and even though this piece isn't real I wish I could own it! Perfect, lightweight & is a showstopper. Wore it to my company's Christmas Party which was black tie Great Gatsby. Also rented as a back-up when I graduated with my Master's a few years ago. It definitely is formal can't really dress this one down. Didn't wear it for graduation b/c of that reason.

PERFECT EARRINGS!
Lightweight & beautiful! Even my boyfriend said I wish you owned these :) please rent with this necklace - can't remember the name of it. I am normally allergic to "fake" metal earrings but had no issues with these. Wore this for a black tie Great Gatsby Xmas party for my work. Will be renting again!

SECOND TIME RENTING IT - I want to own it sooooo badly!
I typically wear a 0 Petite and I always end up wearing the size 2 because it looks great & I lean on less tight fighting clothes for work. This is still fitted but I never want to "show" off my body at work,e tc. I rented it previously for work & our big annual Christmas party. This time I rented this for a conference - I stood out at the conference, got tons of compliments, and a lot of people remembered me because of my outfit! I almost do not want to give this such a good review, because I will be renting it again and again! But honestly, this is the best piece I have ever rented from Rent the Runway. Everyone has those pieces that look made for them & this dress was made for me :)

Beautiful but tricky fit
I rented to recieve an award from my University at a Banquet. It's on the border of what I would consider appropriate because of the mesh cutouts. As other reviewers mentioned...it is impossible to wear a bra with this & I am usually very good at making a bra work into dresses that it's hard to conceal. I normally wear a 00 Petite and I do think it was a little too big on my frame. I like that it wasn't tight on bottom but too much room in the chest and shoulders. Breathtaking color and very unique.

Classy & Elegant
Wore this with the Woven Garden Dress by Erin Fetherson. These were beautiful and classy. I did not feel like they were overly blingy or looked cheap at all.

PERFECT MASTER'S GRADUATION DRESS
Granted I am much smaller than most women, so it fit slightly large on me but probably a true to size on other people. But oh so lovely! Looked great in pictures and the compliments did not stop all day from my gradation. If you really want to stand out at graduation (I wore for my Master's graduation) this is the perfect slightly different white dress in a sea of white graduation dresses. Another review said it worked perfect for her PhD graduation, very professional. Fabric has a great weight to it. I would rent again for another occasion.

Do not hesitate for another moment on these earrings...they seem a bit eclectic from the pictures and design, but yo will fall in love. They have a good weight to them and are just so beautiful, I never wanted to take them off!

Vintage bottom of earring is gorgeous...fake blue stone on top just okay
I really like these earrings. They are very pretty but the gold/bronze bottom was the best part. I do have a really high standard for stones and the blue part is a bit too sparkly and clearly plastic. I liked these enough to buy them and I would re-do the stone. I had a gold chain purse to match, but this color is very tricky not standard gold or bronze. Didn't really match anything I have but still very pretty.

BUY THIS DRESS IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
I'm 5'4", 105-110 lbs, Petite, 34A. Bought this during the clearance sale, a little bit on impulse. This is one of the best dresses I have ever purchased. The color of the material is true to the pictures online, the material has a good weight to it. I was worried it would be too large on me based on other reviewers comments, but I think it fits like a glove. There is just a tad too much space in the bust which is typical for me.

Very Pretty Colors and Lines - Fit Different than expected
Pros: Vibrant colors, great fit. I am an extremely petite girl XXSP, 00P, 5'4", 110 lbs with a tiny rib cage. The dress fit very well it wasn't snug but it wasn't loose except around the stomach part. Cons: I bought a dark blue/navy purse to match this dress and the darker shade of blue is definitely more like a lighter shade of royal blue so a considerable amount of purple tone. There really is NO stretch at all in this dress. It was a bit annoying for dancing as I couldn't really bend my knees without it riding up. I've rented a few dresses from RTR and I probably wouldn't rent this one again for anything, nice to wear but wouldn't repeat.

GORGEOUS EARRINGS! The perfect accessory to any outfit!
Pros: Absolutely beautiful sparkle throughout the night, not heavy in the least (although my tolerance for pain when it comes to beauty is high), stayed put all night didn't have to worry about them falling out while dancing the night away Cons: None Wore for NYE with the Rachel Roy Wave Him Down Sheath (after a suggestion from a review for the dress) they were the perfect match! I would highly recommend this combination! I want to own them :)
