The dress fit very well overall. I ordered a 16W and and 18W, I'm 5'4 curvy build and wear a 38DD.  The difference between the 16W and 18W was mostly more fabric across the bust/shoulders, around the waist and a longer length.  I liked the fit of 16W better because it hugged the curves and didn't drag on the floor so i could wear flats and dance all night!  My only issue was the sequins under the arms were very scratchy but that was to be expected wearing a short-sleeved sequin dress.  Overall I give this dress a 9/10! Thanks RTR! :D <3

This dress is amazing. All the bridesmaids received compliments all night and it photographs fantastically. The only downside was the sequins under the arms were slightly irritating, but nothing bad. My dress was perfect because I am wider, but shorter. The taller girls wished they had ordered the long. A couple of them did order the long, but it was still a little short on them. I would DEFINITELY recommend this dress.

Everyone loved this dress! We wore it as bridesmaids and it was a hit! It falls perfectly and hides the imperfections. The shimmer and the color is perfect in the lighting. I felt like a movie star and it is comfortable. I wore this dress in September and it wasn't too heavy or too hot. 

Wear a no-show bra, because the back is pretty low!

The fit was clingier than I expected. I will also note that the dress is sequined, which is not mentioned in the description. You will also need to either not wear a bra or have an AMAZING convertible bra with proper foundation. The back fell at least two inches below my bra line so finding proper foundation was not easy, but I did some finagling and it all worked out. The color is less blush (to me) and more rose gold. 

This dress fits well and is true to size. The sequins don't feel itchy at all, and it moves well. The only major con is the length. I'm 5'9" and I am so grateful I ordered the long size! The regular length only made it to mid calf. Also, make sure you wear the correct bra, given the low back. 


Super flattering.  I went a size up so that I could get a great flow from the dress.  It has a cute fish-tail train situation in the back, so this is a must with heels.  Keep the jewelry to a minimum.  The earrings and bracelet I wore were a perfect compliment.  I got ALOT of compliments on this entire ensemble!!  Would definitely recommend it!!  (BTW - Bust size is a 40G, drop down didnt have my size.)

Fit was great, perfect.  Exactly what I expected for my body type.

I got so many compliments on this dress. I was 21 weeks pregnant and I had to size up because the size I originally ordered was no longer available. Although it was big I still wore it and had a wonderful experience. 

I wore this to my 45th Class reunion and received soooo many compliments. I was told I looked like I million. The dress was beautiful in person as it was on. The sequins sparkled like the stars in heaven once the light hit it.  The dress was very comfortable and it was long as it covered my 3' heels. Kudooooooos to RTR and yes I am waiting to rent again.

This dress ran pretty true to size, it wasn't skin tight and gave enough room to dance and move. I would say that if it weren't for the long length it would have been way too short and even the LONG size was a tad short for heels . I wanted to wear flats so it worked out ok but if I wanted to wear heels the dress would have been too short. 

The pic doesn't do the dress justice. I looked amazing! I had 2 strangers stop to tell me how great I looked. I wore it to opening night of the opera, and I think I killed it! My friend said I looked amazing too! :)

Fits true to size. I was worried that the sequins were going to stab my armpits, but I was fine as soon as I put it on. I got compliments all night long. I felt great and looked pretty darn good too!  

I enjoyed the give of the dress and how flattering it made me look even if I am not a size 2!  The glamour of the style really captures the eye and I received so many compliments.  Although the back hangs low, you can either wear a strapless bra or do what I did, fix the hanging back with a few pins!  I was comfortable and felt beautiful!  First dress from RTR and definitely not the last!!

Wrong size sent to me and backup never came, but still rocked it. This dress allows you to do that (with the right control wear!) 
Please don't forget to wear proper undergarments with this dress. Sequins can be your best friend or your worst enemy. 
RTR turned this into a much better experience with their customer service. 

I wore this for my wedding and absolutely loved it! I tried it on a few months in advance to make sure it would fit properly and it was even better than I thought! I loved how glamorous I felt and every one complimented me all night. Towards the end of the night the insides of my arms started chafing on the sequins but that is the extent of my "cons" I love RTR, I will definitely use them in the future. This dress was very high quality and went perfect with my Gatsby themed wedding! 

Beautiful dress. like wearing liquid gold. Very forgiving and easy to wear.
I usually wear an 18 Long.  As that size was not available I went with this and I am glad that I did., 
The dress was long enough for me which is rare. This was my first experience with rent the runway and it was fabulous from beginning to end. 
I received compliments all night long.

I ordered the 14 and the 16WL, the 14 fit also but I found the 16 WL to be more comfortable. The dress was beautiful, and I received compliments all night. I definitely recommend wearing spanx with this as the mid drift isn't the most forgiving. Also, I got the "long"which still wasn't long enough but it was beautiful nonetheless. 

Wore this dress to the Emmy's Saturday night and the compliments have not stopped yet!! This dress shows a little sex appeal but has lots of class and elegance.Even though I'm 5'5, I got the longer length and wore heels that are maybe 3 inches tall and the dress lightly skimmed the floor, which was the look i was going for. I will say because I have a large chest (DDD), I didn't have a bra that was low enough in the back for the low cut back so I had to improvise and hook a paper clip onto the bottom of my bra and attach it to the top of my Spanx. The bra didn't budge all night and I was comfortable the entire time. A co-worker actually wore the same dress and looked just as lovely. Great minds think alike!  I definitely plan on renting another dress from Rent The Runway!

It fit like a glove--I normally wear a size 14 to 16, and this was perfect. It was surprisingly comfortable, except for the sequins scratching at my armpits occasionally (the ONLY reason this dress did not get 5 stars). I would also caution my fellow short women out there to make sure you get a bra extender that brings the back of your bra down far enough--this dress dips REALLY low in the back. Or, you can pin it up a bit if you want. Although the front of the dress looks a little short, the back is longer, so use caution when selecting a length. All in all, if you are feeling like channeling your inner pin-up, rent this dress and throw on some bright red lipstick--the compliments won't stop! I felt so beautiful and classy. It was very fun and very glam--I thoroughly enjoyed this dress. I tried to put on gold earrings with it--honestly, it is so glitzy on its own, jewelry wasn't even necessary. Thank you RTR, you made my night spectacular!
