Side slit FTW

I wore this to a rehearsal dinner in June. The color is great - kind of an orangey-pink. The top with spaghetti straps felt simple but still very pretty. The skirt is very flowy and the side slit added a little sass. I am 5'6" and this picture is taken in the hotel room barefoot. I wore 1" kitten heels which felt perfect.

Fun cut outs!

I wore this to an outdoor "black tie welcome" wedding on Cape Cod. I loved the colors of this dress, the top is very vibrant, and then the pink is very soft. The structure of the top was unique and cool, and the cut-outs on the side add a little edge. I am 5'6" and I think 1-2" heels would've been ideal. I had to wear my wedges with 2.75" heel bc of the grass and it felt a little short. My only complaint about the dress was the fact that the pink fabric sometimes didn't photograph well around my midsection - could be because I went for the larger size, so there was more fabric. Would recommend!

Lovely print

I rented this for an outdoor semi-formal wedding in Palm Springs, and it felt like it fit the event perfectly! The colors are beautiful but it seems like the print is meant to look a little faded, so I would not suggest it for a traditional formal event. The cut was so beautiful! It felt sexy and simple. The fabric is very thin, so even though it was floor length, it felt cool enough for an 80 degree event! I am 5'6" and with 1" kitten heels, the length was perfect.

Shapeless

I rented this for a wedding in Palm Springs - the color and print are very nice, but the shape was terrible! I have broad shoulders, so perhaps someone with narrow shoulders would get some definition around the hips. I just looked like I was wearing a giant colorful sack, even in the medium. Order down a size! Luckily my backup dress worked great.

Perfect Rehearsal Dinner dress!

I rented this to wear to a wedding rehearsal dinner. The fabric falls beautifully! The print was beautiful. The medium fit fine but was a little snug around the bust and would've required a low-V bra or some tape. I opted for the large to have better coverage and a little more length. I am 5'6" and wore 1 inch kitten heels and the large fell perfectly to the floor.

Great in theory, but some design issues

Despite warnings in reviews about the liner, I rented this dress for it's beautiful teal lace! And that delivered- it was gorgeous. I loved the neckline, and the back was low and sexy. I wore with a stick-on backless bra. The problems with the dress were from the waist down- the liner has a sort of "hoop" reinforcement which got bent out of shape in delivery. It did respond to some ironing, so was not completely awkward, but never fell nicely. Beware of dancing in stilletos- one of my heels snagged in fhe bottom of the lace while dancing and I nearly fell to the ground!!

Beautiful paisley maxi dress!

I rented this for a date night during a weekend trip to Miami! I'm normally a medium, but ordered a small based on other reviews and it was perfect! I wore it with a stick-on backless bra and adjusted the straps to avoid wardrobe malfunctions. Loved the flowy length and the adorable paisley pattern.

Black tie wedding success

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding. I normally wear a 6, but I have a large rib cage/ broad shoulders so only the 8 fit me! (Luckily I ordered both.) The cut is very nice- I was able to wear a normal strapless bra but still have the sexy cut-out across the stomach. I personally like a little edge, so I was disappointed the slit didn't go higher! What you see here is basically what you get, which was fine for dancing and walking. I'm 5'6" and wore 1 in strappy kitten heels and the length was perfect!

Great low back!

I rented this for a wedding over Labor Day Weekend! The low back is really nice. My backless bra has sticky sides that showed a little in certain positions, so when I rent again I will get an actual stick-on bra. Also, the top is reinforced with a second layer of fabric but the bottom of the dress isn't - I realized this when I could see my black thong through the back! Nude-colored underwear was an easy but necessary fix. The asymmetric hem and pattern also add interest to the dress. Definitely renting again!

Low back, fun dress!

I was very happy that I followed the advice of reviews and ordered up in size. I'm typically a size 6, and the 8 fit perfectly! It was my back up dress for a wedding, but the netting in the back makes it look pretty informal. I loved the low back (I wish I thought to take a picture!) and it fit well, so I decided to wear it to my birthday party instead! There was a liner in the upper part of the dress, which made it wearable without a bra. They are thin layers though so if it had been daytime or well lit, I'd have preferred to wear a backless bra. As other reviews say, the hips/butt area is snug which is why I ordered up, and the 8 fit nicely but didn't hug too much. Overall, really awesome dress for an informal event - just order up if you're at all curvy in the butt/thighs area, and have a backless bra available!

Classic yet sexy

This dress was incredible - I got several compliments, even from old ladies in the restroom! I wore it to a black tie optional wedding, and it was formal enough yet had a sexy edge because of the cutout. I have a very wide rib cage/shoulders (36b) and the 6R fit perfectly- it fit me in a way that there was no chance for wardrobe malfunction and the material is thick, so I didn't wear a bra. I'm 5'6" and wore 2" kitten heels and the length was perfect- just skimmed the floor! It hangs beautifully and was really fun to dance in. This dress is the reason renting from Rent the Runway is genius over buying- so beautiful and unforgettable that people would actually remember if you ever wore it again!

Backless and beautiful

I rented this dress for my friend's rehearsal dinner! Such a fun pattern and fit! Definitely quite short, so would not be good for an event where a lot of sitting is involved. (Luckily the tables had tablecloths!) The straps for hanging the dress kept coming out, but an easy fix was to just safety pin them together in the front!

Total stand-out dress!

I rented this dress for my friend's wedding, and loved it for how unique the cut was! The print is beautiful and the fabric is lightweight! I was able to wear a normal bra without it showing at the bottom. My only complaint was that after a whole day of wearing and moving around, the stomach felt a little too loose- but still gets 5 stars! The wedding was almost a month ago and I'm still getting compliments on the dress!

"Wow, like a glove!" was another guest's response

This dress was amazing!! My friend picked this dress out for me at the NYC showroom to wear to her wedding reception. It was really short on me, so I wore nude tights and was careful not to bend over even slightly! That said, the dress was so smart and sexy, I felt great all night! And I got a number from a stranger who was not even a wedding guest, but saw me through the restaurant window. That never happens to me when I'm not in this dress!

Fun sparkly ring

I expected it to be smooth and a slightly different color from the picture, but it was still fun to wear. The blue was lighter and more faded, and the setting came up around the "stone" so that it kind of rattled when I moved my hand. Still wore it, and even guys were noticing it and complimenting it!

Black sequins were perfect for my friend's bachelorette!

The material is very stretchy, which was nice for me because I have broad shoulders and then it still came in at my waist. The waist felt a little high and I kept trying to pull it down, but that might just be because I have a long torso. The dress was very short, I wore with black sheer tights and was careful not to bend over at all! The black sequins were perfect, I got so many compliments!

Wore this dress to a 50s themed prom!

I had so much fun in this dress! My friends called it the Black Swan dress! I have a long torso with broad shoulders and the bodice fit great, but the tight skirt under all the tulle barely covered by butt! There's so much tulle that I just wore black boy shorts and black tights and never thought twice about it, but could never wear with bare legs!
