Beautiful skirt, but better for Fall.
I really enjoyed this skirt with its classic look, yet bold color. The weight of the skirt is quite heavy, so sizing down in order to keep the waistband up might be necessary unless you have big hips like me. I think this would be great for the Fall, but it's just a little too hot for Spring in Florida.

Gorgeous backup dress for black tie wedding.
Really loved this dress, but ended up going with a different one for the black tie wedding I attended. This dress fits true to size and also fits EXACTLY like the Badgley Misckha Racing Gown (found on RTR in assorted colors). The fluttery sleeves are beautiful and would be nice if you're a little self conscience about your upper arms, like I am.

Beautiful backup dress, just didn't work for me.
I really wanted love and wear this dress, but found that I experienced some of the same issues with this dress as other renters did. The dress runs small, maybe 1- 1 1/2 sizes too small. It would be very difficult to wear any kind of shape wear or bra with this dress due to the cutout mesh on the side. I found the dress very beautiful and I loved the hourglass shaped it accentuated, but I would have not felt comfortable in it without the proper undergarments.

Pretty backup dress I didn't use
I liked the heavier weight of this dress and the soft pink color. Would have been nice for my event. The 12 was too small on me, but I did like the fact that I could wear a bra and Spanx if i had wanted to size up. What I did not like about this dress was how the lining showed along the top edge of the dress. I tried to isolate the lining and just pull down on it, but it wouldn't even stay during my try on. Oh well!

Lovely earrings to go with almost anything!
Enjoyed pairing these earrings with another RTR find for a friends wedding. Love how many colors are in these so that they can nearly go with anything. They were fun and thankfully not too heavy.

Comfortable and cute for a Spring wedding!
Beautiful dress for a spring wedding. Loved the tea length. Fit was true to size and fabric was heavy enough to go bra-less, especially since the open back would only accommodate a "sticky bra." Received lots of compliments on this dress and was very happy I chose it for this occasion.

Great dress for a fancy birthday dinner!
So I was really apprehensive renting this dress based on the reviews and I definitely should have been, because they were right! This dress runs VERY small. Like 1-2 sizes too small. I have lost weight and fit into a 12 usually, but the 16 I ordered as a back-up (thankfully) was what I ended up wearing and even then, it was snug throughout. I still think it's a gorgeous dress and other than being snug, it is comfortable and light. I would recommend, but with the caveat to be prepared to size up once or twice. Happy Renting!

A beautiful clutch perfect for an evening out
I rented this gorgeous ombre glitter clutch to go with my Rent the Runway dress and earrings for my birthday dinner. Because the clutch is an oval it was just big enough to fit my encased phone as well as a lipstick and a couple cards. I would rent again.

This dress made me feel beautiful for my birthday!
I originally ordered this dress to wear to my birthday dinner with family. I'm normally a size 12 or 14 and the size 14w worked very well. This dress is meant to be a wrap style with a v-neck front, however it was extremely low cut on me even with the adjuatable straps tightened all the way. What I did instead was turn the dress around and wear it backwards so it had a slight scoop front and a deep-V back. I thought it was so funny that I told everyone that my dress was backwards, but I think if I had not said anything no one would have known. The dress was incredibly comfortable and if the retail price wasn't so high I would have just purchased it. I also paired this look with black ankle boots (to keep it a little dressed down) and a Rent the Runway set of earrings and clutch. I would highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful dress and I felt great at my graduation!
I love that this dress. SO many compliments and quite comfortable. I wore this to my master's graduation ceremony and party (so for hours and hours) and I really don't have a single compliant about this dress...except for the fact that I ordered the wrong size (kinda). After reading reviews my plan was to order this dress in a 14 since some other full figured ladies stated that it tended to run a little small, well I'm stubborn so I figured I could just throw some Spanx under a size 12 a call it a day. I was wrong. Although I think the dress looked fine to everyone else I was VERY self-conscious all night of the way it was pulling across my tummy. Oh well, my bad. I'll know better next time. For me it is a MUST rent! (Plus it comes in other colors as well as lengths which is AWESOME!)

Beautiful dress with a frusstrating fit.
Okay, so I love this dress, but I also hate the way it fits. I rented this in hopes of wearing it to my graduation party, but unfortunately I ran into the same issues other did in regards to the shoulder straps. They just kept falling off my shoulders. When I ordered this I did not think it would be a problem since I have rather broad shoulders anyway, but slip away they did. Oh well! The color is beautiful and the fit is very flattering, but the straps...well you already know how I feel about those.

RTR Pro Pays for itself INSTANTLY!!
As someone who has rented from RTR multiple times (years ago) I can tell you that this is the best thing since sliced bread! I purchased my Pro membership after realizing how it pays for itself the 1st time you use it. It's $30 and it covers the shipping and insurance on the very first purchase as well as providing you with a $50 coupon (off any price dress) for the month of your birthday. I mean really, it's a win-win. Can't wait to use my Pro again for a graduation dress this December. Yay!!

Had the best night in this dress! Beautiful dress for a fancy wedding. I got compliments all night!!
This dress definitely ran a bit small and by a bit small, I mean like 1 1/2 sizes too small. I normally wear a snug size 12, but the size 12L (my original order) was WAY too tight. I was really disheartened when I had to wear my backup size, a 14R, but I soon got over it as I was receiving many compliments on it throughout the evening. I'm 5'7" and with 3 1/2 inch heels the Regular length was perfect, but any higher of a heel and I would have needed the Long. Keep in mind as well as this dress has a slight train, not enough to trip on, but if the length is off you might end up dragging it. Happy Renting!! - Jen <3

Cute dress and GREAT for curves!
I really loved this wave dress from Erin Fetherston. The color blocking makes curvy girls look better and makes less curvy girls more shapely (Being naturally curvy I'm a little biased towards enhancing my own shape). The picture doesn't show the dress as well as I would have liked straight on from the front, but the pattern is very pleasing to the eye. The top is a little sheer with the mesh (I didn't realize it until after I got it in), but it is not so sheer that you look tacky if you wear a bra with straps, which I did. Enjoy it y'all! I sure did!

Cute cuff, but too big for my taste.
I received this AV MAX cuff as a part of the "stylist surprise bling" for a wedding I went to. The cuff was cute and I received several compliments, but it was way too big for my more "delicate" taste. If not for personal preference I would have given this 5/5 stars for style and usability.

Nice dress, but the top is a little too tricky for my taste.
I rented this dress as a back-up dress and although it is very nice on a form-fitting, the top is a little bit of a pain. I would recommend if you have any type of bust you MUST have fashion tape on hand to keep it in place in the folded-over position as seen in the picture.

Fitted, beautiful, daring, I got TONS of compliments, and I felt like a million bucks!!!
LOVED this Red Viper dress. Wore to a luxury car show and I felt like I fit in perfectly with the high end theme. This is a beautiful red, it's a perfect red which looks rich and sexy. The fit was a little tight and there is NO way I could have worn it without my Spanx. I would totally rent again, but would either size up or lose a little weight first. ;-)

Most comfortable dress EVER!
I originally rented this dress as a back-up for a wedding, but ending up wearing it to my friend's birthday party and it was AMAZING. The most comfortable dress I have EVER worn. I'm 5'7 and it falls just below the knee and although it covers modestly it hugs the body and is super sexy showing off my curves. The only downside for me is that the medium was a little too tight to I had to break out the Spanx to smooth out my belly, but the large would have been perfect. Highly recommended!!

Loved this dress. The color is more of a dark, pinky red. I could have worn the size 8, but it was a little too tight and it was not appropriate for a wedding. I'm 5'7" and the length is above the knee. The rouching all over the dress is VERY forgiving.I recieved so many compliments on this from the color to the fit and style. Also accessorized with earrings, bag, and bracelet from RTR. I would definitely rent again!

Simple, yet elegant
I chose this dress for a garden wedding and it was completely PERFECT. This fit of the dress, not the draping, was a little snug so I would say that this dress runs small to true to size. It is very easy to wear and with simple accessories and heels it was a HIT!

RTR was so easy to order from with great customer service and when I arrived to the wedding I received compliments from perfect strangers telling me how much they loved my dress and asking where they could get it from!
This dress is absolutely beautiful and fits wonderfully. As the pictures show the back is open, but it is not so much that it is super-revealing. I wore it to a late-afternoon country club wedding and it was appropriate and stunning. I received lots of compliments (even from strangers) and I wore with diamond studs and nude heels. I say one thing about the fit of it. Because the back is open the torso of the dress fits a little loose, which was fine with me, and I was unable to wear a bra, even with the straps that make the bra low in the back (the dress was still too low). Overall, this was my first time with RTR and I had a wonderful experience!

Back-up dress, but still totally BEAUTIFUL!
Although this was my back-up dress, this multi-colored sequin dress from Mark & James by Badgley Mischka is absolutely AMAZING! The fit is perfect and very true to size. Because of the design it's very pretty while still leaving something to the imagination. My boyfriend was really the only person to see me try it on at home and had the wedding I went to have been a little more formal this would have been the perfect dress (his own words). Wish I could have worn it, but at least now I know that I LOVE it in person.
