Bought! Flattering, Comfortable, Easy to Style
Rented this for vacation but ended up wearing it for everything from work to brunch after I came back. Bought it to keep a stylish, flexible piece in my closet!

Lost Items!
Loved the look, but there's no closure and only a tiny pocket. A few things got lost, which is on me, but it was hard to keep closed/secure at all with the floppy construction.

Simple, with Stepped Up Details
I was surprised by how much I liked these. They seemed straightforward at first, but were super high quality, and the details were top-notch. The silhouette and fit were great, helped by the weight of the fabric. The triangular button was really fresh and attached well. I'm quite short, and these hit me mid-calf but were still flattering. Would definitely rent again or consider buying.

Great Quality & Details
Loved the attention to detail with this garment. It seemed high quality and had a good fit. I'm quite short-waisted, so I tucked up the bottom few inches before wrapping. One annoyance was the snap at the neckline popped open several times. It happens with those small snaps, but it's probably something I would replace if I owned the item. It wasn't ever too revealing, but good to know.

Runs large or wrong size?
This seemed big on me, but I'm not sure if it was meant to be that way or not. I have broad shoulders and bigger arms, but it still felt like I was drowning—even though the length was OK. I tucked it in to make it a little more fitted. Maybe I just needed styling help or a different size.

Comfortable, Instant Style
Easy to wear, simple to style. Light and swishy fabric that wore well throughout the day. I wore with a dark shirt for work so I didn't look too much like I was meeting friends at my retirement community clubhouse, but I think there could be a lot of options. Comfortable, if maybe a little too big.

Sunshine + Sophistication = Compliments
TONS of compliments on this one! A total stranger remembered the dress a week later when we ran into each other. Comfortable and wore well, with minimal wrinkling. Easy to throw on but seemed stepped up and sophisticated. One small detail I loved: The button at the back was on the inside, so it never snagged my hair!

Striking Color and Fit
Loved the color and fit here—super striking! I saw reviews that said it was too short, which means it was a great length for me. It was a little fiddly to get on with all the snaps and belt. But once it was on, it was a winner!

Roommate Christened Me "Green Cinderella"
Loved my first Rent the Runway dress! It was comfy and gorgeous and gave me the confidence to slay a formal event I hadn't expected to attend. It was easy to drive, navigate a crowd, sit/stand, and dance, all in this very glam gown. Plus, I got tons of compliments and didn't have to wear skyscraper heels, thanks to the high-low skirt. And, my favorite feature—it has deep, usable pockets! It was a little big on me in a few areas, so I would recommend going down instead of up for a backup size. But I was very pleased with the dress and my overall experience.
