Perfect for Fall Wedding
This fit and flare dress was so cute - especially the ruffle sleeves. The neck was slightly uncomfortable, with not much give in the fabric, but otherwise it fit like a glove. Only other issue was that the hemline was a little misshapen, which could have been fixed by pressing the dress if I had had time. But overall an easy option for a family wedding (Sunday daytime) in October.

These were a perfect refresh for my casual Friday work look. The crotch was slightly tight when seated, otherwise loved wearing these - slimming through the waist, form fitting in other key places.

Super Cute Backpack
Love this backpack but it's unfortunately a little too small to fit my laptop, which I have to take home from work. Otherwise, great condition and very cute piece.

Cute Spring Sweater
Per other reviews, this is cut very short - wore it to work with high-waisted jeans. It's chunkier than the site photos look, but I still thought it was pretty cute. Worth the rental for one wear but not worth keeping long-term.

Cute and comfortable
This poncho style sweater was great for a rainy day in the office. The front hemline hit right at my waistband; high-waisted pants would provide even better coverage. Got a couple compliments and enjoyed this comfy pop of color.

Baggy and stiff
Didn't end up wearing these as the fit through the waist and upper inseam was boxy and baggy. The denim was super thick/stiff. Of course, being short, the hemline fell a lot lower on my (ankles) than depicted on the model. And the hemlines were more arced rather than straight as shown in the photo.

Floral Mediocrity
This dress was nice enough, but nothing special. The floral pattern and hemline seemed on trend so I tried it. The dress arrived very wrinkled, which is the nature of the fabric, so I had to spend time ironing before the event. The fit was fine, but not that flattering for my body type (kind of shapeless in the middle). The neckline was a little tight on my shoulder, not too uncomfortable though. Length was great, I had minimal problems with stepping on the dress. This was a nice look for a late summer wedding but not one I would pick again.

Perfect Work Holiday Party Look
This dress fit pretty perfectly - maybe slightly tight in the bust. It was a fun yet work-appropriate party dress. Wish I owned this one!

Black Tie Elegance with Ease
This was a great dress for a formal wedding on a warm October night - shimmery and light-weight. My main complaint was the length, because the hem got in my way throughout the night despite 4 inch heels. This is a pretty common problem with my rentals and I held up the dress for stairs, dancing, etc. The bust was slightly tight as well, and had the potential to smush even a small chest (I did wear a strapless bra with padded cups). But overall I felt pretty and sleek. Loved the straps - so different.

Comfortable and Fun for a Cocktail Attire Wedding
Tried to wear the zero (my usual size), but it smashed my chest and caused some unflattering side spillage. The 2 worked well, but still had a flattening effect across the bust. Luckily, the fit and flare silhouette made it flattering nonetheless, and the back T strap is super sexy. Really fun dress!

Cute, Snappy, and a Little Fashion-Forward
I loved wearing this dress to a work cocktail party. With black stockings, it was fine for winter, and the neutral palette allowed me to jazz things up with a statement necklace and bright shoes. I think I recall the fit being a little snug in odd places, but overall it worked really well and I felt fabulous.

Chic Summer Wedding Fun
This dress is gorgeous - love the skirt, and the length hit just right with a pair of 4 inch heels. The bodice was a trickier fit - I ordered a regular size 0 and a size 2 petite, and both had extremely tight straps - or rather, the dress came up pretty high into my underarms - but there was also a lot of room in the bust (for my flatter chest, admittedly). Also, be aware that the back is quite low cut and you'll need a backless bra or to wear a strapless very low on your back to keep it from showing. I didn't feel like it would have looked good without a bra. Finally, the hem of the dress was ripped when I received it, so I had to stop for some fabric tape to keep from stepping on and snagging the torn parts all night. Aside from these minor issues, I love the look of the dress, especially with my Heather Gardner necklace (http://heathergardner.com/)!

Bright, Breezy, Summer Dress
This dress was lovely for the South Indian portion of a wedding I attended - the bright colors added to the array of guests and it was very light for a fairly warm day. It did run quite long for my 5'3" frame, so I found myself picking up the hem to walk, especially on stairs. Also, sitting outside for a 2 hour ceremony contributed to some sweat that caused wrinkling on the back side, but I don't think it was too noticeable. The bodice fit well and overall I had a good experience wearing it, but would definitely hem it if I had purchased.

Great accent piece
Really eye-catching necklace. My only negative feedback is that it was a bit heavy/clunky to have on while dancing at a wedding and got sort of "tangled" at points, but overall, love this piece.

Fun fit-and-flare
This dress was lovely though I don't wish I owned it. Great weight/quality to the material, nice pattern (though I think it photographs better than it looks up close), and always a good cut for my body type. But I'm on the larger side for a size 0 and this was a little loose in the straps (hence the bra strap showing as shown in the photo of the back, which was a slight issue throughout the night). Overall, really cute cut and perfect for a summer evening semi-formal wedding.

So Hott!
Love the neckline and back of this dress! It was sexy but still wedding-appropriate. The bubble skirt was not too poofy, but poofier than it looks in the photos on the website. Definitely wanted to keep this one.

Very Cute Bonus Dress
This dress was a great fit even though I usually order a 0. Because RentTheRunway didn't have my chosen dress for this wedding in both a 0 and a 2 as I requested, they sent this dress over as an extra option in size 2, and I decided to wear it to the church ceremony since I had it on hand. It was perfect for the occasion and felt comfortable.

Great party dress - felt amazing!
I wore this dress for the show my band played at my work holiday party and it was perfect for the occasion. Fit was great, length was not too short (though the skirt tended to ride up a little bit, so I did spend time pulling it down) and the straps/back fit well. There was a hole in the lace overlay of the first delivery I received, and that night I e-mailed RTR to try to get a different dress. By early morning, customer service had replied and set up a delivery of an undamaged dress - so helpful and everything was in place well in time for my event. Thanks!

Perfect combination of hot and appropriate for a choose-your-own-bridesmaid-dress
Great fit. The zipper was a little sticky but it worked fine with someone else helping. I could see the bust being tight on someone with a larger chest. Great length, fun skirt, totally comfortable all night. Awesome dress!

Glamorous but comfortable black tie attire
The dress was great. I ordered a 2 and a 0 and the 2 was loose (though the length of the 0 was a tiny bit short in the front and I found myself pulling the dress down over the course of the night). It was comfortable and I felt great wearing it. The zippers were a bit sticky on both sizes, as a result of the lace fabric I think, but despite my worries, both zippers worked.
