I wore this as the maid of honor in my sisters wedding. The color and fabric are so nice but I definitely had to tape it shut on the slit and also tape it to my chest. I felt glamorous but be prepared to tape it! 

I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner and it was perfectly elegant but also sexy. The material is very soft and flowy so it's important to have double sided tape to place the dress where you want it to stay for the evening. I keep checking rent the runway for this dress to be available for me to buy! 

The top was very loose but I pinned it closed toward the bottom of the neckline to hold it together more. I loved this dress and wish I could buy it! Very simple and classy. Perfect for fall wedding. 

Wore this dress for a theatre gala that involved dancing the night away. Fabric flowed nicely, but I fashion taped the top so there would be no flashing!

I wore this dress to my husband's Barrister's Ball. It was a very comfortable and very flattering dress. Since I was a little unsure of the dress code it was a great choice as it was very chic and easy to dress up or down. 

Some people made mention of the tightness of the lining, but I didn't find this to be a problem at all. I really liked this dress! 

Absolutely LOVED THIS! I wish I could have kept it! It was so comfortable. Very stylish and able to wear a bra. 10/10 would recommend!! 

Loved this dress. Silky fabric that felt and looked quality. The color was a perfect Raspberry/ Wine color. I tried to buy it, but could not find it anywhere. I really wanted to add this piece to my normal rotation. 

This dress is fabulous! I loved everything about it, the color, the material, the fit... I could go on and on. So...see for yourself, RENT IT! ;)
I felt gorgeous in this and you will too. 

The only other thing I will say is that I am a bit modest, so I used fashion tape to secure the v neck. It is supposed to be flowy on top, so it's a little bit of a deep v, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little fashion tape. (If you'd like)
Also, the underskirt runs a bit small if you're hourglass like me and runs a little short, so I wore little shorties underneath. It's nothing that would keep me from being uncomfortable but just keep these things in mind when renting. 

I'll definitely be renting again. 

I rented this dress for a summer wedding and it was perfect! Comfortable, a gorgeous color and I got tons of compliments on it. The under slip is extremely tight but I pulled it up under the dress and was just cautious of the slit. Would definitely rent again!

Rented this for a friends outdoor wedding. Was a BEAUTIFUL color ( my husband referred to me as a "tall glass of merlot" all night, lol!) but definitely was big. I didn't need to pin it or anything but the front is cut super low, and the front leg slit is at an awkward part of the dress making sitting super revealing. For standing and dancing, this dress is amazing. Comes with slip built in. 

I rented this for a fall wedding and loved it. The color is great (a little bit darker/more purple than the photo but pretty). I'm just under 6 feet tall so was worried about the fit but it was perfect. I'd recommend double sided tape to avoid any malfunctions with the top and the bottom. 

The material of the dress is so nice and lovely to wear. I was one of the few bridesmaids who didn't need to steam her dress, it was ready to go right out of the bag! I did have to use a bit of body tape to keep the bust area controlled since I wore the LR and my chest isn't very big. But I was pleased with how it fitted my body and a lot of people commented on it. The color is more of a deep wine color I would say than burgundy. Some of the bridesmaids had dresses that were more "red" but as a blonde I was happy with the purple undertones of the dress. I would definitely recommended RTR and I plan to rent from them again! 

I read all the reviews that said the lining ran small - well I later found out someone had cut the lining! However, I felt this ran big.  I used fabric tape to keep the cleavage to a minimum which worked well! But the shoulder area was also large. I tried to use fabric tape for that and it did not work. The chiffon material would not stick - the dress was definitely made with someone taller in mind. I wish I would have ordered the extra small because that may have made a difference. I generally don't show cleavage so this dress was very risqué for me- it felt very breezy in the leg area too like I was flashing someone at any moment. It probably looked better than I felt but I would not wear it if you are at all modest! I was fussing with it all night and constantly trying to cover up!

This dress has to be my most favorite rental. I had a wedding just 2 months post partum and was struggling to find a dress that would help hide my substantial mama middle, plus be nursing friendly at the same time. This dress was it! It flattered my figure, allowed for easy access to breastfeed my baby, and I felt absolutely beautiful and confident while wearing it. I did need to use some fashion tape to keep the top closed a bit more and on the slit, but both made fit perfectly. I loved this rental, RTR's always stellar customer service and would absolutely recommend this dress!

I am 5'5 and 115 pounds, and this dress was a lot of fabric. I had to tape the sht out of the top, as it was completely open. The skirt part was also very large. And it arrived dirty, which I didn't notice until I was already in the car. I never try these things on ahead of time. Not my favorite rental. 

Loved the color, got compliments. My only annoyance is that the flowy fabric and cut would often risk me flashing both on top and on the bottom, with every movement. I had to maneuver and secure the top with the tie a few times throughout the night. I recommend tape to ensure you dont slip out up top, or not wearing this outdoors where there is wind! Otherwise it was fine!

What a great dress! Wish I could own it :) The color is stunning, and the fit is comfortable (stretchy waistband). Had to use some fashion tape for the top, but other than that it was PERFECT!

Absolutely loved this dress. It is beautiful, flattering, and so comfortable. I wish I could keep it. You need fashion tape for the top, and possibly also for the bottom portion (especially when sitting). The slip layer underneath is a little short but it wasn't a big deal because I put a little tape to keep the layers together. I wore the extra small, and it fit well but I would say it runs a little bit large. Highly recommend. 

Great summer wedding dress! I used tape in the chest area to keep it from opening. I think the length would have been a little too long, had I not been wearing 4 inch heels. The clip underneath is very small. It had a little stretch, but for someone with wide hips and a big butt, it was way to small. The rest of the dress fit perfectly. 

The color of this dress is even better in person - it's more of a rich merlot versus the burgundy shown in the picture.  The drapery was gorgeous and gave this simpler dress a twist.  I used fashion tape to keep everything in place, which I think is necessary for this dress no matter your size.  My only con would be the underskirt.  It's extremely short and rode up every time I moved.  Overall, it's a beautiful dress!

Similar to the other reviews, the slip underneath was pretty annoying, but it's a gorgeous dress so it was worth it. ThankI chose the Small for my first size choice but someone returned it damaged so I had to wear the XS. The dress actually fit great, but I wonder if the slip would have been more comfortable in the Small. Either way, beautiful dress and color. I would definitely wear it again! 

Not my all time favorite rental, but I did receive a ton of compliments. As other reviews say the slip is smaller than you'd expect. So if you have full hips/bum you probably want to order a size up. I think no matter how busty you are, the top will work because it's blousy. I'm a 34D up top and a size 6 bottom (with no hips) and the small fit great. Would definitely recommend. It's sexy in a tasteful way. 

Fits true to size and is so comfortable! Very flattering and the color pops. I needed some fashion tape to keep everything in place but I knew that from previous reviews. Would totally order again!

I loved the dress! It fit very well and I got a ton of compliments! I taped the neckline because it was quite breasty 

Drapes very nicely in the right areas. If you are busty I'd recommend a deep v bra or boob tape! Beautiful color!

This dress was so comfy, and very roomy if you're busty. I received so many compliments...it was a gorgeous dress! 

I actually ordered another dress and changed to this one last minute as a plan B. I loved this dress! It camouflaged my problems areas and accented my good areas. However, the belt around  the waist was attached, thus making it hard to tie it correctly to fit "MY" waist! I got lots of compliments on the style of the dress though...It's definitely a head turner!!

This dress fit like a dream, the material was lightweight and easy to dance in! I did listen to the other girls recommendations and go for the fashion tape, I just needed two small pieces to keep everything tucked in and it stayed all night!

It was my birthday party and i happy i got this dress very elegant and classy at the same time.  I felt very special that night. The dress runs  a bit loose but i wore the SR size and it was perfect. I would definitely rent this again.

This dress was SO comfortable! I received so many complements. This dress would look great on any body type. The under slip was not too tight the only problem I had was when I sat down I had to be careful to keep the dress wrapped in between my legs due to the high slit in the front. 
I'm so happy I rented this dress! You can't go wrong renting this. 

I loved this dress and would totally rent it again! I had to use fashion tape otherwise the girls would've hung out, but besides that this dress is wonderful! I received compliments all night. 

Pretty dress! Lining in the inside is a bit short which causes it to ride up when you move around - but other than that I liked the dress and felt it was flattering!

I had read in the reviews previously that the Medium came without a belt, but the fit was so much prettier I wore it anyway. I slip was the only part I wasn't a fan of, it kept riding up while I danced. But those are my only complaints. The color is gorgeous, the fabric is beautiful and I received compliments all night. I'll definitely rent this again! 

This dress is super comfortable and flattering. It was perfect for a winter wedding. I wore with tights and boots. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the front of the dress desperately needs a little clasp. I had to pin it, otherwise it would have been a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen all night. Once the pin was in place, it truly was the perfect dress! 

Slip underneath runs a bit small. Draping across chest rubs a bit large. I would order size smaller for more flattering draping. Fashion tape is a must as the chest is very open and revealing if not taped or pinned. Beautiful color! Very figure flattering. 

I loved wearing this dress! It was so flattering and comfortable. I did need to use some fabric tape to close the neck, it was a little baggy and when leaning, would sometimes show too much. But one little strip of tape and I was good to go! I wore a regular bra with the dress and felt great all night. 

This dress is so lovely. Just with some tape it stayed in place all night. I'm short so it was near floor length on me. Slit was high but didn't show too much when walking/sitting with these short legs. Danced the night away and sweat wasn't visible on the dress. Compliments all night and the best I've felt in a long time. Love love love this dress. 

The dress runs slightly on the larger side. Therefore, I suggest renting your normal size and a size smaller. As mentioned in the other reviews, there is a liner that runs mid thigh. It is slightly annoying as it is more fitted than the rest of the dress. I had no issues with the flowy-ness of the top, and did not have to pin it shut. Honestly, this dress was perfect as a wedding guest. It was fun, flirty, classy, and so comfy. Would totally rent again or even purchase. Also, all the girls in the photo review are wearing RTR dresses!

Great dress for the price point. Lovely color and style. Comfortable for dancing/eating/whatever. Easy safety pin or tape in the front to avoid over exposure. 

I used double sided tape to keep the top closed. It's a beautiful color.
