Gorgeous Gold for a College Graduation
Wore this for my brother's college graduation and LOVED IT!! I felt stunning and it was so comfortable! The ties on the side to define the waist were definitely a highlight. 10/10 would rent (or even buy) again!

Gorgeous Dress!
I felt STUNNING in this dress!! I went dancing and had a blast. The ties were a little tricky for me to figure out but I ended up tying them in the back for convienenve more than anything else. Very cute dress!

Beautiful Springtime Dress!
This fit really well and I was happy with the coverage and overall shape of this dress! I honestly would have considered purchasing but the one I was sent had a tricky zipper that I wouldn't want to regularly bother with.

Light as air and beautiful
This dress was a dream to wear and fit like a glove. I didn't realize it was backless when I ordered it which I was initially nervous about but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I felt beautiful in this dress.

Very cute but beware of the neckline!
A super cute and flattering dress but I ultimately ended up covering the top with a sweater because the neckline was way too revealing for me personally!

Cute dress but not practical
This dress was a little tight up top and had no room to move your arms. The silhouette was beautiful but it just wasn't comfortable to wear.

Absolutely stunning dress!!
I forever fell in love with this designer when I discovered the eyelet hook that provided a more modest option for the neckline. As someone who has a bit of cleavage, it was so great that I didn't have to worry while wearing this dress!

A stunning and unique dress
I cannot get over how many compliments I received on this dress. It is so unique and simply gorgeous and I adored wearing it. It was super comfortable and I was able to wear it for a full work day and straight into 3+ hours of social dancing so it was a winner! I would absolutely buy this dress to wear it again and again!

A dress that made me feel beautiful
This is another dress that I would buy in a heartbeat. It simply made me feel beautiful! It was a little tricky getting the zip to go up and figuring out how to keep the girls secure but once I was in it, I was comfortable and felt beautiful and confident! Highly recommend!

Very comfortable work dress! It felt a little long on me personally but breaking it up with a belt helped me get around that. It fit great though!

Such a fun design!! Beware of buttons...
This dress was so flattering and such a fun design idea!! The only issue I ran into is that it is definitely a better dress standing up than sitting down...I was hiding some gaps in the buttons all day at work while seated at my desk. But I got a lot of compliments on the dress and really felt very comfortable. It had pockets, the material is unbelievably light. Just maybe wear it standing up...and avoid it if you plan on being seated in public...or use a good bit of fashion tape.

So oversized I returned it immediately
I could not get this dress off fast enough. I am sure that there are some people who look just lovely in it, but my sister and I kept laughing at this pilgrim meets baby doll style dress. It was WAYYY too big everywhere. There was nothing flattering about it on me. I swapped it for another item that I ended up loving and am thankful for the RTR team for making that happen. The one good thing I have to compliment is the color because it is a lovely shade of yellow. I am sure this dress will make someone happy...that someone is just not me.

FUN FUN FUN!!
This dress is so fun!! It can be a little confusing at first figuring out how to style it and where all the laces go, but it is so comfortable and definitely makes a statement. A little tight in the shoulders but nothing too bad. It has POCKETS which was a fun surprise! I wore this one ballroom dancing and can confirm that it is a very fun dress to twirl in, lots of drama! I would order again for the right occasion, but am not sure I would keep it in my closet all the time. It was very comfortable and certainly makes a statement!

LOVE THIS DRESS!!
This dress was GOREGEOUS and I kept getting so many compliments from my coworkers! I did pair it with a blazer for the office because I felt like my bra was showing a bit in the arm holes, but I wouldn't have thought twice about it in any other setting. The zipper was a bit tricky and I absolutely had to get another set of hands (or two actually) to figure it out because it kept getting caught on a seam. The actual fit was lovely though and felt very flattering! Wish there were some other color options because this isn't my go to color palette but I loved the dress so much I didn't mind it!

Beautiful Spring Floral Top!
I loved the top so much! It was super flattering, filled with fun colors, and the material is so light that it was very breathable and super comfortable. I honestly think I probably could have sized down because it did feel a little large even by my standards, but it did fit well. As someone who is a little bustier, I kept having to keep the top from slipping and becoming more revealing than I was wanting it to be. You do have to think ahead about what bra you want to wear with this because the shoulders are wide and a regular bra will definitely show straps if you don't do some rearranging. Very cute and would absolutely order again!

Gorgeous Blue Floral Dress!
This dress is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!! The only thing keeping it from a full 5 stars for me, is that I found it very difficult to find a bra that worked for me to wear the dress AND I think some previous renters had been wearing it off the shoulder so the sleeves were stretched out and kept falling over. I was also surprised by the color that wasn't a super dark blue like I was expecting it to be. The color almost was a slight "worn denim" that was really pleasant, but I don't know if that is from wear and tear of RTR or if that is the designers intention because it was a bit surprising to me. I kept getting compliments on this all day. I felt beautiful, feminine, and was so comfortable! I just wish the sleeves would have stayed up a bit better.

It Survived Swing Dance!
I wore this dress to work with a blazer and then took it out for three hours of ballroom dance and I think it is a TRUE testament to this dress that I never got uncomfortable ONCE throughout the day and I was able to dance completely unrestricted. The buttons do go all the way down the front of the dress which I was worried about since usually I deal with gapage because of my bust, but there was some kind of fashion tape (not sure if it's built into the dress, if RTR added it in, or if it is left over from when someone else rented the dress) that meant I only had to worry about the top 3 buttons and it kept everything together very nicely. There is a cover for the buttons too that helped when I was dancing so even if something flew open before I could catch it, I wasn't exposed which was so reassuring. It is a FUN dress to wear and I am so glad that I had a chance to take it out for a spin. Highly recommended!!

Beware of the Bust
This dress is MUCH lower cut than I thought based on the photos that I reviewed before I decided to rent it and I absolutely would not have felt comfortable leaving the house without something to cover the girls with. I think this is probably something that will only really be an issue if you are a little bustier like I am. It was a little snug but it did fit my frame well. The pattern was small alligators? Lizards? I'm still not quite sure. I would maybe say size up if you are worried about spillage because it was a definite issue in this dress.

I would buy this dress in a heartbeat!!
This was my first dress from Rent The Runway and it did NOT disappoint! As someone who is larger chested, I often struggle to find flattering dresses that will fit me just right and this one fit like a glove. It wasn't too snug and I wasn't spilling out on the sides. And I didn't have to wear a dress I was swimming in just cinched with a belt, it was just wonderful! The long zipper was a wonderful feature that made getting ready easy too. I was a little worried because I don't usually wear patterned dresses because sometimes they make me feel like I look larger, but everything about this dress was so flattering. It was the most beautiful I had felt in a dress in a very long time.
