BUMP FRIENDLY!!!
I rented this for my birthday trip to the theater. I was a little worried because I'm 6 months pregnant, but this dress fit like a dream!!! The higher waist gave my bump room to breath and still was very flattering to my shape.

Bold for the ball!
The dress was beautiful, but isn't forgiving. Wear spanx if you have any trouble spots that you want to conceal.

This dress was a replacement when my original dress wasn't available. Unfortunately it didn't fit. Curvy girls, beware!

A fun print for a new city!
This dress was so fun and unique that I turned heads all evening! It fit very well and was a great replacement dress when my original pick was unavailable.

Perfect for a garden wedding!
The dress was a perfect fit for a botanical garden wedding! I had several people take pictures of the dress and tons of compliments! It fit very well- the underskirt was a little tight but the tulle overlay hid any discomfort. The see-through top of the dress added a fun touch that strapless dresses can't compete with!

I turned heads at the wedding brunch.
The dress fit perfectly and had a nice flair to give a vintage look! The thick fabric held the dress in place and I felt like a princess!

Perfect graduation dress!
I have rented this dress in red before, so I knew how great it was! It was snug around the rib cage, but was fine other than that. There are nifty bra strap holders and hidden pockets that don't bulge!

These earrings are perfect! i was afraid that they would be too heavy and hurt but you don't even notice them (and I never wear earrings).

Perfect fall dress (with a cardigan or blazer)
Fit like a glove! The fabric is super soft and felt amazing. The fit is extremely flattering. The pockets were very discrete and came in handy. I'm just in love with this dress.

LOVED THIS DRESS
This is the best dress I have ever rented/worn. Ever. The fit was very flattering and I received tons of complements all day long. The fabric was super comfortable and I felt very confident. The dress hit mid-thigh, so it wasn't too short or too long. The slouching back was flattering, and the warmth of the velvet made you forget you were backless. Will definitely be renting this dress again!

Not the dress for me.
I loved the feel of the fabric, but that was about it. The design and style are much less flattering in person. The pockets, while convenient, were spaced too close together and looked funny. The dress was also long, hitting below my knees. Overall, I would not rent this dress again.

Such a fun dress!
I tried this dress on a whim, and because of the elastic back, it fit! The dress was very short, but wearing tights or leggings can easily fix that. The backless fit was so much fun, I hated to take it off.

A black Marilyn dress (according to my husband)
Beautiful dress, but it runs small. I usually wear a 10 but the 14 was a little snug. The zipper was very hard to handle because of all of the sequins. It is also VERY low cut, so definitely invest in some fashion tape or a safety pin so you don't have to worry about flashing everyone the whole time.

Lit up the room!
Loved this dress! It was snug, and spanx definitely helped. The length was perfect, it hit just below fingertip length, so it wasn't too short.

Beautiful dress, but not very flattering for my body type. There were runs in the fabric that were either on purpose or from lots of use. It looked fine in person, so it wasn't a big deal, but I didn't see that detailing in the photo so I was unsure.

Too Small
It's a beautiful dress, but was too small for me to wear. Very heavy fabric as well.

The Audrey Dress
Hervé Léger
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 38C
I felt like a Greek goddess!
I rented the medium and the large because I wear between a 10 and a 12. The medium fit great but was really tight along the neckline and under the arm. The large was way too big and I felt like I was swimming in it. I went ahead and wore the medium, and after a few minutes, I didn't even notice the neckline. The dress is a deeper teal than in the picture, so beware! It is a very dark teal, so make sure any teal accessories you plan on wearing are dark enough too!

I got this for my husband's homecoming, but the military changed his date.
Even though the homecoming date didn't work out, I still felt beautiful! The dress fit perfectly, though the zipper did stick around the ribbing. Besides that, I am in love with the dress, and wish I could buy it! Thank you Rent the Runway for a great experience!
