Okay I read all the reviews and still gave it a try, but the cleavage was just tooooo much for a wedding (especially with my coworkers haha). Ended up wearing my other rental. Loved the fit and the color though, great quality and length and so comfortable.

I wore this to a work employee award event and got lots of compliments. Although it’s velvet it still feels pretty light while dancing and it was just unique enough from a LBD. Definitely like this one! 

Wore this little beauty of a dress to a 1920’s themed gala and it was absolutely perfect! The color and fabric are beautiful; perfect for colder temperatures while still looking sexy and chic.

My usual size 14 wasn’t available so I took a chance on the size 12 and it fit like a glove (hourglass shape). It was so comfortable and I didn’t even need shapewear. I would have liked to have worn it as is, but it was a little too scandalous for the setting (meeting people professionally) so I added a tank top. This allowed me to wear a regular bra which was also a bonus. I got tons of compliments all night. Would definitely wear it again!

The fit on this dress was clutch. I didn’t even need boob tape. Wore from 1pm to after midnight and was comfortable the entire evening, including when dancing. 

So comfortable. I got many compliments on this dress. Velvet is lightweight and flowy. 

This was the perfect dress for a black tie wedding. I’m short (especially my legs!) so I was nervous about finding a floor-length dress that was the right fit for my body and I’m so glad with how this fit! I’m also small-chested, so the neckline was perfect for me personally. Considering buying this dress after my rental! Highly recommend. 

I loved wearing this dress to my friend's wedding! This dress is very low cut but it still works for more conservative settings if you have to put on a cami underneath like I had to. Very flattering and I loved the material! 

I loved this dress by Rachel Parcell! In my opinion, it runs true to size with not much stretch. I recommend renting your true size or a size up. This style is fitted through the chest and under the bust, and flowy at the hips. It works best for smaller chests as it was a little too much cleavage for me and I needed to wear something underneath. You can wear a standard bra with this dress. At 5'4, the length was perfect on me with heels. The velvet dress looks like the model photo and is great for fall and winter. The color on the dress is beautiful and made me feel elegant. It is extremely comfortable and there are grips at the bust to keep it from moving. 

The dress was amazing! Super comfortable material. I usually don't go for velvet, but the texture was really good and the dress was not heavy at all. Perfect for any winter formal function. I've never done rent the runway before but the process was so easy. 

I wore this for a formal wedding in January and it was the perfect winter dress! Got so many compliments throughout the night too

I loved the feel and fit of this dress - I just wasn’t comfortable with the bib of boob on display for such a formal event.  If you are a b cup or below it’s probably a winner, if you are a c cup or above maybe just evaluate the event and whether or not you’ll feel comfortable on display.  Fabric is gorgeous, length was great.  Just not for me and my 45 year old boobies!

I think velvet/this material is so cheesy and not classy  but this dress is PRISTINE. it's not pleated but has these lines in the material that really elevate it. The slit is perfect, not too high. I loved the plunge neckline and it had rubber lining so you didn't have any nip slips. I got so many freakin compliments on this dress. It was also crazy comfortable. Cannot recommend enough. 

I love the shade of blue and the soft, cozy fabric. This is such a comfortable dress, as fancy dresses go! Ultimately, I didn't wear this one as it was a bit too much boob for the audience, but if you've got a smaller chest (or if you aren't, but you want to give your date a heart attack 😄) it's a wonderful dress!

This was my backup dress but was so glad I ordered it. Great fit, flattering, and comfortable to wear all night 

This is a great rental. Length was perfect. Bust is quite low but I used garment tape helped me feel at ease. Wore to NYE event and received many compliments. 

You need boob tape or you will be exposed. 
Heels required or you will be dragging the dress. 
Color is great for black or silver accessories. I did a little of both. 
I felt beautiful in this dress!  

Heavy and warm dress that is perfect for the winter! Looked very cute on and fit well. I used pasties since you can’t wear a bra with it and that worked perfectly 

This dress was perfect for a winter wedding. Comfortable and beautiful. I did raise the neckline a bit out of preference. 

Fit great, except for the length. I was already planning on wearing heels but I would not have been able to wear flats. Soft material that looks great right out of the package, and I got so many compliments on it! I wish I had a better picture but I will definitely use RTR again!

Loved this dress and the way it flowed, perfect for a black tie event. I have a smaller chest and wish I had used fashion tape to secure things in place more- had to be mindful of the chest gaping a little bit but overall loved this dress! 

I’m 5’3 and 170 lbs, so a size 10 fit me perfectly. I have a larger chest so my boobs were a little squished but it helped them stay up. 
Dress was comfortable, easy to dance and eat in, and if I could afford to bite the bullet to buy it, I deff would’ve. 

I wore a size 8, the material is super soft and the dress is very comfortable. The 8 was a little large, I could have deff sized down to a 6 or even 4. The V neck was very plunge and deep. Perfect for a winter wedding or holiday event

Amazing 10/10. Low cut so just expect that but it has some grip tape so the girls don't pop out. I'm flat so it didn't bother me how low cut it was. I felt like it made my waist look smaller than I really am. I could eat and drink whatever and was so happy. 

I loved loved this dress! I would wear it again and again if i wanted to be seen twice in the same dress! xo

Great fit, very comfortable. Beautiful shade of blue/navy. I did have to buy a special bra for it to not show because it's a pretty deep V neckline. Would rent again
