Stand-out look!
This dress was an overall knockout! It runs large like everyone else on here said. I also found that I could not wear Spanx or a bra because the Spanx I have are high-waisted and would be seen through the mesh. The area between the boobs is also just mesh, which is sexy yet sophisticated but a strapless bra would have been seen. So if you're prepared to bare it all underneath, this dress is one hot item. Length was perfect for me in 4-inch heels. I would definitely rent again for a winter formal event.

Old Hollywood glam is what everyone kept telling me all night!
I rented the 6R and 4R after reading reviews from others. I usually never fit into a 4, but I did in this dress. The length was perfect with 4-inch heels. There is a small train, which is tricky on stairs, but it was not a huge issue. The only thing I'll note is that the color of the green sequins on the 4R and 6R were drastically different. The 4R, which I wore, was emerald. The 6R was more of a kelly green. I preferred the emerald and would have been disappointed had I not fit into the 4R. Just something to be aware of. Overall, great dress.

This stunner had the comments coming all night for a July 4th wedding.
Loved this dress. Just wish I would have ordered a smaller size. It runs big. It fit for the most part, but I'm smaller on top and the upper half was a bit loose. I ordered the 8 and the 6 and wore the 6 but I would have fit into a 4. I paired with a gold purse and shoes. Not much jewelry needed since the dress is so detailed. You can't go wrong!

Gala chic and comfy!
This dress was the perfect choice for a black tie gala. It is stretchy and comfy while being elegant and classy. I was worried it might be long on my 5'4" frame but with my 4-inch heels it was perfect!

Masquerade stunner!
I wore this dress to a masquerade party and got a million comments on it. Typically size 8 is big on me but I'm glad I ordered the larger size because the dress does not stretch at all. The zipper in the back goes down to your hips and was tight on me but I was able to zip it up. I wore it with 4 inch heels and the length was perfect!

Perfect for a day-time all white party!
I rented this dress for my best friend's wine tasting all white party. I can't tell you how many compliments I got. I loved the material. It is textured corduroy. Sometimes it can get windy in wine country, but due to the weight of the material I never had to worry about my dress blowing around. I order the 6 and the 8 and the 6 was a perfect fit. Would definitely rent again for a similar event!

Stand out in this red stunner!
The zipper is tricky and the top half of the dress is really tight but if you can get it zipped, this dress is a HIT! I had to wear the 8 (usually a 4 or 6) because the top was so tight but length was perfect with my 4" heels. Dress is very comfortable and slit in front allows for tons of dancing. I would definitely rent again...just beware of the zipper and get a friend to help you!

Bridal shower hit!
I wore this dress to a bridal shower and everyone loved it. I especially loved the color and I got lots of comments on this as well. I also rented the matching necklace. It was the perfect outfit for a Saturday afternoon party.

Perfect amount of bling to spice up a plain, strapless dress.
I got comments on this necklace all night! It's the perfect blend of sparkle and femininity and went very well with a plain strapless dress I was wearing. Thanks Rent The Runway for helping me to accessorize to perfection!

Attention-getting and comfortable! Perfect for black-tie gala!
Dress runs incredibly small. I'm usually an 8, only rarely a 6 and the 4 fit me best here. I'm 5'4" and was worried the Regular would be long but it was perfect, even a bit on the shorter side with my 4" heels. I love that the dress is stretchy and fits very well as a a result. For me, the bust was a little big (I had to wear a padded bra) and the straps were a little long (so I used fashion tape to keep them up). Also, the particular dress I got had a noticeable snag on the left hip, hence my 4 star rating. But, overall I'm satisfied with my first Rent The Runway experience and got lots of comments on this Nicole Miller gem!
