The huge sleeves curved into the back to create a balloon behind me. Not at all flattering.

Great concept, scratchy execution
I wanted to love these, but the scratch of the sequins just didn't make for a relaxing pool day.

Rent the set - look amazing!
I will rent again, but size down, it runs large. That said, amazing outfit. Wore to a Cardi B concert and random strangers gushed!

It's low for the busty and short-waisted, but a little tape and you're off. Flattering and sexy and just marvelous. I almost bought it....

Loooooved. Stretchy denim but with structure. Very flattering. A little long for 5’4”, but with my cowboy boots or some wedges, it worked a treat.

Comfy, flattering, easy
Such a great vacay dress - easy to wear and style, and the full skirt feels substantial without being too heavy. Perfect for a warm weather walking dress in a conservative country like Morocco!

Absolutely Fabulous
I’m not sure I’ve loved an item more, or been sadder when I had to send it back. This is warm, sophisticated, and easy to style. Tons of compliments. Most remarkable of all, usually wool itches me like crazy and I can’t wear it…Not with this! Fabulous. Very very tempted to purchase, but others should know the awesomeness of this piece!

I was expecting ridiculous length on the legs, but these were more reasonable than the arms for the matching top. Fun and comfy.

Lonnnnng sleeves...
It was exactly as it looks, so in that regard, truth in advertising. But the arms are just crazy long, and it wasn't particularly flattering. I did wear it around the house for TV watching and it was great for that!

Super cute sweater, fuzzy and soft and quite warm despite the deepish V. I wouldn't buy as it seems like it might pill easily (acrylic and all), but it came with tags on, so for now, it looks great!

Sumptuous, elegant, flattering
This one might not make a return trip. I have lots of events coming up and cannot get over how perfect this is / will be for all of them. GREAT if you’re at an event where you’re moving around a lot. SOOOO comfy! I’m short-torsoed fyi, and another bonus, I can zip it on and off myself so the bathroom isn’t a two person task.

Groovy…and Grover?
Part of me loved this coat: fits great, fells lovely on, and it feels entirely OTT, which was fun for a dramatic party arrival. But I couldn’t help but feel like I was wearing Grover or a Muppet on the cuffs and collar. And yeah, it makes a really squicky noise. It’s fabulous but not quite right for me.

Warm, high-waisted, and wonderful
I felt tall and on-trend in this suit, and so many compliments! Was tempted to buy. Wore the whole suit with a silver sequin tank to a work event and felt like a million bucks. The material feels soft as pjs, but it IS pretty hot. Definitely wear on a cold day.

Once I downsized...I bought it!
It runs big so I recommend downsizing, but oh, is this a fine coat, especially for layering with a big sweater. Great for cloudy days and not bad at repelling light drizzle. Loved it. Bought it!

Bad-a-- and cozy! A near purchase
The length was just a titch off for me - it hit me right across the widest part of my hips and I would've preferred a little above that spot. A little shorter and this would've been a purchase! Tons of compliments, warm and cozy without being too hot on 40-50 degree days, and I felt like I could take on anything every time I pulled it on. May have to rent again come fall!

Soft and Cozy!
I very nearly purchased it was such a delight to throw on. So cozy and incredibly soft. It was also warm, despite the lower cut of the neckline. And I love a long sleeve that i can fold back, which this definitely was. Lovely!

So much potential...and yet
Every review mentioned the size but..they really WERE little. Not what was needed for a cocktail event. They were beautiful, yes, but strangely muted despite their diamond and opal sheen.

Pretty but unremarkable
I love the chain detail trend, but didn't love the shoulder strap. I thought having it be broader would prevent it from sliding off the shoulder, but it did not, and it was too short to be worn as a cross-body. Good size for phone, wallet, keys, lipstick. Color was lovely for spring.

Nice Fabric - and way too much of it
The fabric was nice, but this was just big everywhere and completely shapeless on me. I have a pretty straight and narrow frame but am busty, and you couldn't even tell I had a bust at all in this. I could pull inches in fabric from around my waist, hips..everywhere. I'd order at least 1 if, not 2 sizes down!

Gorgeous!!!!
I have been eyeing this dress since I first got on Rent the Runway and was afraid it wouldn't live up to expectations, but it TOTALLY DID!!! I went up a size (my size wasn't available), but made it work anyway because for this level of cute dress - you make it work. The bust was particularly big, but thankfully everything stayed in place anyway. Compliments nonstop at the gala I attended. The colors and detail work are as stunning as everyone says, and such a well-made dress! Seriously. Amazing.

Gorgeous fabric, so cute! Versatile and lots of compliments!
I love this designer and this dress is one of the reasons why. Beautiful fabric with a luscious lining, flattering for my straight and narrow frame and poochy tummy. Slightly low in the cleavage arena and possibly too low for some workplaces. Wore this with pink flats, black pumps and nude heels, and wore to work, a play, and a fundraiser. Compliments everywhere!! Super dress.

WOW! Wear this if you want to POP!
Seriously one of the funnest dresses to wear! Bright and sassy, this looked so fantastic with my brown skin! Wore it to work with a flatter bra, white cardigan, and bright pink loafers, then transitioned to a fundraising event with a push-up bra and nude heels. Compliments from all sides, including total strangers on the street. I did feel a little 1985 with all the bright colors, but people literally said "just seeing you in that dress makes me happy!" Get happy! Rent this dress!

Great fit, so interesting and pretty, tons of compliments!
Loved loved loved this dress. Great for work, for a fundraising luncheon event, etc. Conservative in cut and a very simple sheath, but the fabric use was so special and unique it really stands out! A teensy bit longer than I'd like ( about mid-calf for me) but still felt great with a good heel.
