Great daytime event dress!
I rented this dress for my niece's baptism. Since I'm her godmother, I wanted something that was comfortable to wear all day and appropriate for the church ceremony. This dress definitely fit the bill. The dress runs true to size, however it was roomy in the bust since I'm an A cup. The orange color is very flattering and a pair of nude wedges paired perfectly with it. I kept it on all day and felt great in it!

Fun, casual dress for afternoon reunion
I ordered this dress in a size 4 and got the size 6 as a back up. While the 4 fit me and wasn't tight, I ended up wearing the 6 to have a little extra room. I got a ton of compliments on this dress. It was perfect for a late afternoon school reunion at a casual restaurant/bar. The material was pretty light and I paired the dress with grey wedge sandals.

Great day dress!
I ordered the M as a back up to the small, but it was the first dress I tried on and it fit very well. I never tried on the small, figuring that since the medium fit well, there was no need. I wore this to my goddaughter's first communion. It was a great dress for church and the party after. I paired it with nude wedges. The material is a little thicker than expected, but I got a ton of compliments and was comfortable all day.

Gorgeous, yet comfortable jumpsuit for a fun occasion
I wore this jumpsuit for my best friend's rehearsal dinner. I had reserved a size 4R and 6R. After trying both of them on multiple times, I went with the 6R. The 4R fit perfectly, but pant legs of the 6R were a bit longer and worked better with the heels I wanted to wear. The 6R was a little loose on me, but I think it looked great and it was easy to move around in. While I opted to not wear a bra with this, you can get away with a regular nude bra. It was barely noticeable while I was trying the jumpsuit on. For the church portion of the rehearsal dinner, I threw a white blazer on over it. I paired it with red-jeweled pumps and gold jewelry. I received a ton of compliments and absolutely loved this outfit!

Fun earrings to go with great dress
I ended up renting these because they were shown with the dress I had rented. They were a simple way to complete the outfit. I didn't realize they were clip ons though. While they were slightly bigger than expected, they weren't heavy. I'm not used to wearing clip on earrings, but they weren't a problem and stayed put all day. They hurt when I took them off though, but didn't bother me all day!

Very classy, sophisticated dress for an afternoon bridal shower
I rented this dress for my best friend's bridal shower. The size 4 fit me well. It felt a little snug at first in the upper body, but the material is a little stretchy and I was comfortable in it for nearly 8 hours. I received countless compliments on the way this looked. I'm 5'7'' and the hem fell to my knee. It was the perfect length. I paired it with nude wedges and it was easy to move around in!

Lovely dress for a family gathering.
This was a great dress for my niece's christening in early January 2015. The dress is a lighter fabric, so if you're planning on wearing it in the winter, you'll probably need a sweater, like I did. I paired it with black tights and red shoes. The 4 fit me fine, but the armholes seemed to on the small side (there wasn't a second size available the day I requested it). Overall, this was a great dress and I received multiple compliments on it.

Gorgeous Earrings!
I rented these to go with the Badgley Mischka Flora Chiffon gown in emerald because they looked so elegant on the model. They went perfectly with the dress and I will consider renting jewelry in the future!

Attended an amazing wedding with awesome friends!
I ordered both the 4R and 6R after reading many of the reviews. The 4R fit perfectly. As many reviews mentioned, the zipper was a little tough, but thanks to a friend, we were able to make it work. The bust was a little loose on my, but I didn't feel like I was pulling at the dress all night. II'm 5'7 and sometimes need things to be longer, but that wasn't the case with this dress. It was certainly long enough to wear with 3 inch heels. I never pick the color green, but after recently wearing another dress in this color, I was hooked. I received many compliments and was very comfortable all evening. This dress is stunning and I felt very glamorous. This was my first Rent the Runway rental and I will definitely be looking at the site for future events.
