So Flattering
I love the shape of this dress. It's super comfy and fits well. The colors are a bit bold when combined with a bit strange flowers, but I loved the fit.

Love it! Rented it Twice
I love this dress and rented it twice. I wore it to a fall wedding with shiny jewelry. It was a lot of fun to dance in. I rented it again for a work holiday party when I found out you cannot wear the dress easily with tights. It shows the lines very easily. I abandoned the tights, braved the cold, and had a great night.

Partial Open Back and Sides
This shirts is tailored well, but cannot be worn to work. The underarms have deep v's showing both side boob and the the bottom band of my bra. The back it open as well. May pair well with a cute bralett that you want to have visible.

Collar is Ruffled and You Look Like a Nun
In the photos, this dress likes like it may have a white button up underneath. In reality it has ruffled sleeves/collar and a shiny, white pattern. You look like a nun. I tried this on and my friends laughed too much for me to wear it out.

Super Small Dress Even with Ordering One Size Larger
This dress is cute and has thick fabric, but it runs very small. I generally wear a 4 instead of 2 because I prefer my dresses a bit looser for work. I order a 6 in this dress so it would fit loosely, but it was skin tight. Too tight for work, but okay for date night.

Cute, stretch dress
This dress was slightly tight in the hips and loose in the stomach area, but I loved it. The pattern is flattering. If you order a size to small, the stretchy material would not be forgiving.

Loose Top, Tight in the Hips
I wanted to love this dress, but almost didn't wear it because it fit poorly. It was baggy in the waist, and really tight on my hips creating an awkward shape. Luckily, the blazer I wore, hid the bagginess.

Great Dress for Work, but Need to Watch Cleavage
I wore this dress to work with a blazer. I think it was likely a bit big for me as it only buttons at the waist. When wearing this dress, you need to be careful with the openings around the chest and legs to make sure the fabric doesn't slip and over expose you.

Great Color, with Sassy Cutouts
Now, I absolutely love Navy and this dress did not disappoint. I got so many compliments and the cutouts added flare to the simple structure of the dress. This is one of my favorite Rent the Runway dresses. It's a bit low cut, but I didn't mind it.

Cute dress, but Small Chest
I love the color of this dress. Generally with these types of knit dresses, I worry that the skirt is too wide, but this one flowed nicely. The chest was a bit tight and showed my bra lines which I had to cover with a blazer.

This dress is super comfortable as it is loose and not very form fitting. I paired it with an angled blazer to help give me more shape.

Shape Highlights a Small Waste, but Bottom Hem Becomes Misshaped
I loved how this dress fit, but was a bit disappointed as the hem bubbled and became misshaped throughout the day. It really shows off your waste and make you look tiny.

Cute Crop Top
I wore this crop top with a black tank underneath and paired it with a high wasted pencil skirt for work. It was long enough to not expose any skin, but I didn't want to risk it at work. I got many compliments!

Structured, flattering cut
I rented this dress to wear to work with a solid black tights. The slit on the thigh may be a bit high for work without tights. The only problem I had was the second layer of fabric sometimes stuck to my tights scrunching the top layer of blue.

The arms/sleeves run small and do not stretch.
This was my first time using rent the runway. The dress was beautiful with detailed beading. I ordered a 4 and a 6 as a backup. The 4 fit well/slightly loose in the body, but the arms were much to tight. The arms fit on the 6, but I was swimming in the dress. My arms are lightly toned, but fairly average sized. I was disappointed I couldn't wear the dress since the colors were perfect for my event.
