Beautiful color, lots of compliments!
First rental post pregnancy and barely got the zipper closed on the backup size (my fit profile is probably a bit off - I'm heavier and bustier at the moment). Glad it worked though, because I received compliments all night! I'm short / busty and usually struggle with rentals that fit me without being super long, but this dress was the perfect length with heels. Wore it to a black tie wedding in September in Nantucket.

Red Carpet Ready!
Wore this to the Daytime Emmys in LA - perfect dress for the occasion. Based on other reviews I rented a 4R and a 6R as a backup...but the 4R didn't show up. Luckily the 6R fit! Order up if you're busty! I'm 5'3" and the R length was perfect with 4 inch heels. The fabric is really heavy so it got a little hot in the sun, but I loved the way the dress fanned out whenever I walked.

Simple, sophisticated dress for an evening wedding
I tried this on at the Rent the Runway showroom in NYC, so I knew that I needed to order the 6, when I usually wear a 4 or a 2. Break out the spanx, ladies! The dress is very form fitting, but really comfortable. Loved the color - not a bright red, but a more muted elegant red. Strapless bra worked perfectly. Danced all night, with no issues!

Perfect color to stand out from the crowd!
I generally wear a 4 or a 2, but I tried on a 6R in the showroom because that was the smallest they had. I ordered the 4 and the 2 - the 4 was a perfect fit! With 3.5 inch heels it was also the perfect length. This dress is probably the most comfortable formal dress I've ever worn - I could eat everything! Target sells an adhesive "u plunge" bra that worked perfectly. But the best part of the dress was the color - it really complements a pale complexion and you'll stand out in a sea of dark dresses! (The zipper does get a little sticky though, so make sure you have a friend on hand to help you!)

LOVE THIS DRESS!
I wore this dress out to dinner and dancing on my 30th birthday. It fits like a glove (break out your spanx!) but is still comfortable enough to dance the night away. I received so many compliments - even a comparison to Joan from "Mad Men" - so if you're curvy, this is a great dress!! The only negative was having to send it back!

PERFECT DRESS FOR A SUMMER WEDDING!
I first tried on this dress at the RTR showroom in NY. It was not something I would have chosen but the stylist recommended it, and I'm so glad she did! It's very form fitting (but stretchy) so I went with the 36. The material is beautiful and I received quite a few compliments. Very comfortable for dancing the night away! (Highly recommend visiting the showroom if you're near one - great experience.)

Beautiful, comfortable dress for a spring wedding!
When I buy long dresses I always have to get them hemmed, so I was nervous to rent a long dress - but trying on several long dresses in the NY showroom was a huge help! This was the definite winner. The size 4 fell perfectly to the floor with 4 inch heels. The color was beautiful and the dress is very comfortable and forgiving - I was able to enjoy all of the wonderful food at my friend's wedding and dance the night away!

This was a beautiful dress, but it wasn't the best choice for my body type. There's a lot of heavy fabric - as someone petite but curvy, I felt it made me look heavier when I could have gone with a more slimming option. That said, the color was beautiful and the dress was very comfortable. Definitely order a size down!

Wore this to a wedding and loved it! I wore my smaller backup size and even that was a little big - definitely had to pull the dress up a couple times while on the dance floor. The fabric was great but very stretchy. Received many compliments! Just order a size or two down!
