Cute Dress
Fit perfectly, but was a little too heavy for a nightclub. Meant for a good cocktail party dress as it is lined heavily and the sequins are heavy.

Dancing Til Daylight Dress
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Bust: 34C
COMPLIMENTS ALL NIGHT LONG!
This dress was a success! I was stopped several times asking me where I got the dress. Dress fits true to size, but is on the short side, so if you are self-conscious of your legs, not the dress for you. I was able to dance and sit all night without any incidents due to the fluffy tulle coverage. Paired the dress with black shoes and "Old Hollywood" styled hair and makeup.

Great for a cocktail party
The top was cut too high for such a sexy dress, and the "V" split ended well above the cleavage line, making it stick out in a weird way. I didn't end up wearing the dress as I needed something for a Vegas nightclub.

The perfect element of youth mixed with class.
I love, love, LOVE this dress. I am 5'11" and the dress is short, but due to the poofyness of the skirt, it is not as noticeable. At my height, the dress does not allow you to bend over, and to sit you simple sit straight down. If you are required to be more active in the dress, I would recommend another style. I was also able to dance in the dress and spin without feeling like I was exposing myself. You need to know your audience- this wedding I attended was a youthful, fun wedding, where a short dress is appropriate, and even encouraged- so I did not stand out in a bad way. I also have a long torso, so like to break up my waist with a belt. I Added some diamond drop earrings and nude shoes to tie the whole look together. Overall, this is a great rental and you will not be sorry you rented. Rent early, as with other popular Rent the Runway looks, this one will sell out quick!

I loved the My Fair Lady- Purple so much, I rented the Coral too!
I love this dress- perfect length, perfect coverage. I rented the dress as a back-up so did not end up wearing to this wedding, however, I have rented the Nicole Miller- A Fair Lady in Purple and worn that to a previous wedding, and the fit is the same. I did find that the large offers a little more length, so at my height I opted for length.

Coral Fair Lady Dress

Lovely Color
I liked the look of the dress, but made me appear a little older than I wanted to. I choose to not wear this dress and instead wore the second dress I rented, which was a little more youthful. The dress does allow for a normal bra, and will look great with some long drop earrings.

The back is GORGEOUS!
I absolutely loved the look of the dress. The back was a fantastic detail that made the dress have a surprise sex appeal. I ordered a 6 and 8 and ended up going for the 6 to have a little more shape. The dress would have gotten 5 stars if it was in better shape. In both the 6 and 8, the lace was fraying, you could tell that this is a popular rental. When I first put the dress on, I was having trouble keeping the back shut, but I only had to fix it once. Nu Bra is a must with this dress, the back does not allow for a normal bra. Accessorized with peep toe black heels and long diamond earrings.

Did not wear the dress.
I did not end up wearing the dress due to the neckline being higher than I wanted. The neckline made me look much older than I was.

My husband couldn't keep his hands off me!
This dress is sassy and sexy, but be sure to get a size above as it runs extremely small in the hips. I used fashion tape to keep the top in place and paired with gold sandals, turquoise earrings and a colorful clutch. Being 5'11" the dress was on the short side when dancing and walking. I received compliments all night, and loved the burnt orange color!

Spread Like Wildfire Dress

I got compliments all night!
I loved the look of this dress, but being 5'11" it got short when walking and dancing. I paired it with a nude pump and simple diamond earrings. The dress is intricate by itself, I felt any additional accessories would take away. I ordered the medium and large and chose to go with the large for the little additional length it offered.

I felt like a movie star!
I love this dress! The fit was perfect, I paired it with some gold heels, a fur coat and turquoise drop earrings. I am 5'11" and the dress was a perfect length. The dress is sparkly, so perfect for a formal event.
