Loved this dress! It was extremely comfortable to wear. Received tons of compliments.

For all you very petite ladies out there...this dress is perfect. The boning in the top added great structure without being  too restrictive. I am 5 ft. tall and wore 4 inch heels  - and the length was just right. 

The gold stood out and the slit made the dress breathable. I am 115lbs and 5' 4" so I tend to go for dresses that size small, this one fit like a glove! I didn't even have to wear a bra. 

I had a love-hate relationship with this dress.
PROS: gorgeous dress, comfortable material, photographs well, and for anyone who is insecure about their stomach - it hides that well
CONS: The zipper is a nightmare! Even though the dress wasn't tight, the material near the zipper is so thick that it took my bf 20 mins to finally get me zipped in. Size also runs small, and isn't necessarily a good fit for someone who's shorter or curvier.
Overall, highly recommend ordering a size up. I did get a ton of compliments, though!

Very comfortable dress and received so many compliments. Maybe a little over worn.. Bones in the dress are not in the spots they should be and the material is starting to get thin. But still a great fit and dress! First time with RTR and will definitely rent again!

I loved this dress. However, I would have liked to have the XSR but only the SR was in stock (I fit XS better but it still worked!) It was beautiful on. Everyone else thought so too! One person even said "you look like an Oscars trophy! So beautiful"

Great dress for recent post-baby body. Hit the problem areas (stomach and butt) well, especially with Spanx. Nice fabric - not too thick or clingy. Was just a tad long (I wore flats due to cobblestone floor), but it wasn't too long to be in my way the whole night. Not sure I loved it enough to rent again, but it was a great dress for the evening.

My only con (very minor in nature) with the dress was that the color was slightly different than the website photo bu it was otherwise perfect.

The dress fit true to size.  It was definitely a bit heavier than other long dresses I've worn before but not enough to bother me or for me to even notice after 5 minutes of wearing it.

This dress is super comfortable while still being formal. It's form-fitting in the right spots, and has a good amount of stretch. For my height, the skirt did not drag on the ground (with or without heels on), but with heels on, they did show a bit, which can be a pro or con depending on your preference. Happy with my choice!

The dress was beautiful and much less sparkly than anticipated, and on stage looked more metallic and much heavier than it actually was. The fabric is very light and soft, and moves easily, which was great because the event began with dinner, moved to seating in a theater, then finished on stage. So I was glad to wear some that easily transitioned. I think I might have actually been between sizes, the smaller size was a bit tight and the larger size was too large to be flattering, but regardless I received lots of compliments throughout the night and truly felt like a star. 

FIT: This was a backup that I lent to my younger sister to wear for the weekend, since the dresses she rented didn't fit her. She is usually a 0/XS but even this dress was a tad small for her. I think this brand might run a size small in general.
PROS: color, comfortable
CONS: tight around bust area

fit perfectly in all the right areas. best if you are slender and have a full chest but the rouching is forgiving if you do not. LOVED IT!! 

it was slightly snug at first when i zipped it up, but it ended up fitting more comfortably than the other size i ordered (SR). it was comfortable and i felt like a million bucks in it. 

It fit perfect!   It wasn't too tight where I couldn't dance or anything.  I definitely recommend this dress for any formal affair or formal party. 

The dress was great people loved it and it was pretty comfortable. Definitely tight in the bust area but not enough to go up a size. Very flattering and forgiving in the hips. Overall it was a great choice!

I wore this dress for a military ball at the United States Air Force Academy. Not only was the dress incredibly flattering, but also perfectly classy for an event like this! I felt gorgeous and goddess-like, without showing too much skin. My only con about this dress was that it was pretty long on me. I made do with my shoe height for the night, but being as short as I am, this is just probably something I will always have to deal with :(. Over all, this is a great dress, and I definitely recommend it for any classy formal event!

Love it and it was perfect to wear flats, which I prefer.  Only down side was it was slightly small around the waist.  I could zip it, but it was tight.  And the MR was way too big.  Ultimately, I was still happy with this rental and would recommend it to other!

I typically have a hard time finding both comfortable and appropriate dresses to wear with my 34D bust but 115 lbs but this dress fell in all the right places. I wore it to my boyfriend's event at USMA and I got compliments all night as my dress matched perfectly with his brass buttons. The color is definitely a darker/greenish gold but it seems to have a different color in various lighting settings. Overall, I would definitely rent this dress again if I could and I highly recommend it for anyone with a odd body shape like me. 

I got it in a small and an extra small, and the XS fit me best, which was slightly surprising, but I am glad I got that size because it fit so well. I am 5'8" and the dress was kind of longer, but it worked out well because I was wearing such high heels - as seen in my picture. I liked the little slit on the side, it was unexpected, but a very nice touch. The gold was such a pretty color and really made me stand out. 

I am busty, so it took a small effort to get the M zipped on the side. However, once it was zipped it was super comfortable, it synched in the perfect spot and I felt like a million bucks. The L draped too much and did not make me look slim. I also rented a pair of gorgeous sparkly dangle earrings for $5- would definitely recommend getting accessories as well. Can't wait to Rent the Runway again!

This dress fit perfectly. The only issue was an underwire that protruded on the left side. But, a quick call to RTR and I had a replacement dress without the visibility of the wire. The skirt is a little flowy so it's a little forgiving on the bottom. Length was a smidge long with my 3" heel. But I prefer too long than too short. While everyone was wearing black, I was wearing this gold stunner. You will turn heads in this dress. See both pics I have attached. 

I wore this dress for my Sorority's Formal and it was absolutely stunning. The fabric is extremely comfortable and stretchy making it super appealing for those who will be wearing this dress for a long period of time. The color is beautiful, it's a little darker then pictured, it's more of a bronze color than a gold. At the time of my event only the SM and MR were available but I wish I could have gotten the SL and ML. With heels, my shoes were very noticeable wearing the Regular length, so I had to wear flats. I ended up wearing the MR because the SR was too tight around the bust. Overall I absolutely loved this dress and I was so impressed with the service I received from RTR! I will definitely be using them for my next formal event!! 

The dress for true to size. The boning in the top made it impossible to wear a bra, but it has enough structure that made it work perfectly! It was amazing for a black tie wedding! 

After reading some reviews, I picked the extra small petite which fit perfectly with my 4 inch heels. It's really the perfect dress for a formal affair. It's simple and classy and makes you look like a goddess. The red lipstick was a nice touch for a color pop. The up-do was also the way to go to display the one-shoulder look and the collar bones (it's always sexy). This was my first rental and I was really really happy with it. Just awesome! 

All in all I liked the dress, though it was way too long and I had to use tape to hem the bottom, even in 4 inch heels. I added the belt, which helped to give it a more tailored look. I received a lot of compliments and loved the neckline.

I wore this gown for an Army holiday ball. RTR was very easy to use and I didn't have to worry about spending $300+ on a gown I would only wear once. The gown was a little loose in the bust and four inch heels will bring the gown just a bit from dragging the floor. A regular strapless bra works well, although no bra is needed. I loved this gown and recommend it to anybody!

This dress had a great fit and was very flattering! I didn't need to wear a bra because the top was already so snug. It was pretty long on me, and it dragged the floor when I walked unless I lifted the dress. I was nervous about the color, but it was actually really nice and I wound up wearing red heels and painting my nails red. The particular dress I ordered had a tear in the zipper so it took about 20 minutes to actually get the dress on, but I had no complaints after that point.

This dress worked really well for me for a formal wedding.  The fabric looks structured, but it really isn't, so it is a perfect dress for people who really like to get into it on the dance floor (like me).  

I ordered a medium and a large, and, as seems to be the case a lot for me, I really didn't see much difference between the two.  The dress is just overall very forgiving and easy to wear. I skipped a bra, but a standard strapless one would have worked just fine (it goes up high enough on the back).  I was in the mood to be comfortable, although if I rented it again, I think I might try a bra to fill out the top a little.

I have broad shoulders and I felt like the shoulder strap broke them up perfectly and minimized them.  I'll look for more dresses like that. My shoulders always look huge in regular strapless dresses.

This dress was great! Very comfortable and pretty flattering. I was worried the color would clash with my complexion and hair but it was a pretty dark gold metallic color so there was more contrast than I thought from the pictures. It wasn't too tight for dancing or eating. I wore about 3 inch heels and the length was just right. It is a little heavier fabric which was great for a November wedding in New York. I also rented the Anton Heunis Lotus Pendant Earrings which were a nice compliment to the dress.

I wore this for the US Marine Corp ball last year, I ordered a MR and a LR. I ended up wearing the  MR and it fit perfectly, I couldn't have picked a better dress to wear. Definitely renting again this year. I don't remember what height the heel were I just remember that it kept getting caught on the dress every time I walked be very careful with it. The thread kind of came out of it while I was at the ball and immediately went to the hotel and took it off before any more damage was done.

I ordered the MR as my primary size, but got the SR as a backup. I ended up wearing the SR. The length was perfect with 4-5" heels.
A few things on this dress:
1) It dress is not gold. It may appear gold in pictures, especially when using flash, but this dress is way closer to bronze than it is to gold. Plan accessories and makeup accordingly.
2) The material is a lot more casual than it appears in the photo. It is a jersey-like material with the metallic thread texture woven into it. If you are looking for a more formal gown, this dress might not be what you are looking for.
3) Although the bottom of the dress flows, it clings somewhat to the shape of the hips. If this a trouble area for you, shapewear is definitely in order. If shapewear doesn't smooth out the bumps enough for you, this dress, given its material and clingy-ness may not work as well as you'd like.
4) Because the material is pretty casual, this dress is also pretty comfortable. I danced for hours and besides the waist shifting a little, (probably more because of my moves than the dress!) I have no complaints of discomfort.
5) You'll want to wear a good strapless bra with this dress. I usually go without if the structure of the dress provides sufficient support, but this one needed the extra reinforcements.

Also, I had a bit of an issue with how the zipper, which is set into black fabric, seemed to be overly exposed. The dress didn't fit me tight, so it wasn't because it was being stretched (see photo). I assume that the zipper issue was because of previous wear, not because of the design of the garment.

Overall, I had an adequate experience with this rental. I really with I had known about the color and the texture of the fabric ahead of time. I recommend this dress if you you are looking for something sparkly but not too dramatic to wear to a special occasion. It photographs well and looks great with short hair or an updo!

I rented this dress for my daughter's high school prom.  She stood out among the rhinestones and bows of the other prom dresses.  The fabric was stretchy and comfortable for a night of dancing.  And not having to worry about stepping on it (or rips or tears or lost sparkles) was a huge bonus on a stressful night.  At 5'5" the large dress was perfect with a pair of 3 inch heels.  She normally wears a 8-10 dress size and has a 36D chest. The color is a darker gold and perfect with a pair of black or nude heels.

Great dress, loved the color. The material is on the heavy side but overall great look.

I work in Special Events and for our last gala, this event was perfect. I had zero time to get ready (pardon the face), so I was happy to know that my dress was beautiful on its own. I was super pleased with the length- being 5'7" with a small wedge was perfect and made it easy to do my job without any train. I would have been fine with flats too. Truthfully, being as busty and curvy as I am, I'm surprised the medium fit but it worked well and I got lots of compliments! Definitely a winner! (and pair with the earring on the model too-- perfect!

It fit very well. This was my backup dress for prom and I ended up wearing it! Very comfortable and easy to move in. Note that the material is thicker, not thin. I had regular length that worked perfectly with 5 inch heels. 

I wore this dress to a wedding. It does not come on a long size, and I am 5'10", so it was a little short for me, but my friends said it was not too bad short. You could actually see my shoes with this dress. It's a pretty gold color.  Because  you could see my shoes! I probably would not rent this one again. RTR customer service was excellent.  

I wore this dress for a black tie wedding! it was perfect!! no one was wearing a color or a dress like mine!!!! felt so unique among the sea of black dresses, I got so many compliments that I was starting to feel like a movie start!! LOL had people come to my table just to ask me or tell me about the dress!! amazing

The top part was very snug, and didn't stretch at all. I got two sizes: M and L. The M fit in the waist but was too tight in the top and it made it hard to breathe (but the legth was just right). The L fit better in the top, but was a little baggy in the waist. I'm a D cup but that wasn't the issue, it's snug in the rib cage area. Wished it had a little more stretch, but then I think it would compromise the sturdy form look. Still a beautiful dress and loved the L size. Was a little long and people couldn't see my shoes, but still a great dress to wear. The color is neat too, it changes depending on the light. When I first opened the bag, it looked very dark, then I stood in the sunshine and it was so beautiful! Looked great in all the pics we took.
