Rented this to wear with a dress to formal holiday party. It ended up looking a little too cheap and was brighter gold than I was expecting. I didn't wear it.

This was a nice dress. Pretty simple and felt / looked a little like an old bridesmaid dress I may have had in the closet. I generally wear a 6 in jeans / medium top and the 6 fit perfectly (didn't even try on the backup size 8). The top was secure but *felt* a little loose like I needed to pull it up. However, whenever I made that motion always realized I didn't actually need to pull it up. The hidden feature of this dress (likely not really meant to do this, but it worked well) is that there are two ~6" panels of fabric on the front of the dress and two on the back that are separate from the rest of the skirt. I used the front two panels to tie a halter strap with a bow that hung down my back and I thought it really jazzed up the look of the dress. I also experimented with using the panels to tie a belt (could be front, back or side) and every variation honestly looked pretty cute. Nice to have some options and a backup plan in case of a Rent the Runway same dress collision. I sadly didn't take a single picture at the event, but if I come across a picture of my modded halter, I'll be sure to edit this post with a pic.

This dress ran pretty true to size. If anything, the 6 was a little bit large but fit just right after dinner! The lace on arms felt loose and the sleeves were a bit short for me, but based on pictures and mirror I don't think those things were noticeable. As others have mentioned, the black trim on sleeves worked great with black tights and pumps for a chilly winter wedding.
