Loved the color and pattern- it is really beautiful. The cut and length made it feel a bit more "buttoned-up" than I was hoping, which made it perfect for the office holiday party but not as fun as I was hoping for dinner with friends the next night. I normally wear a six with most designers, but I went with the 8 for this dress as the fabric is not forgiving and the straight down cut of the skirt was quite snug around my hips.

I loved the unique body shape this dress provided as well as the length was perfect. I am a very tall female with LONG legs and it hit right below the knee cap. The design on the top was simply beautiful and the green color was stunning. I received MANY compliments on this all night. The one thing to note is that the under arm area did get a bit tender towards the end of the evening.

I wore this to a work-related holiday cocktail party, and I received so many compliments.  The color is beautiful and the texture of the flower-print adds interest to the dress.  I was told over and over how different it was from "boring red" holiday dresses.  It was really comfy for standing and mingling.  But, I had to hike it up a little to walk up the stairs, since the leg opening isn't very wide.  I also would not suggest this is you are dancing and plan to get low. ;)  Otherwise, it is fabulous.  

Got this overnight yes when my originals didn't fit correctly.  The print/color are fabulous in person!  I have a large chest and I love that it concealed that area (no cleavage falling out!) without looking frumpy.  I am btwn a 10-12 in dresses (often need the 12 for the chest!), but the 12 in this was icy too large in the waist and hip area which made the peplum look a little frumpy on me.  Another one that I would definitely try in the correct size!

I normally wear a size four, I had to wear the size six because the fabric won't give.  I'm smaller up top, so the six was a little loose, but perfect for my hips and thighs.  All in all, it was great! Thanks, Rent the Runway!! :)

Wore this dress to a holiday networking party. It was very comfortable and the design is very flattering to my figure. The fabric is sturdy and high quality. I got many compliments on this one!

The top for like you would expect a 10 to fit. The bottom was pretty snug on me, but I've definitely got booty and thighs compared to my top half. Bending down and sitting were a little bit difficult. No long strides in this one! But the fabric was beautiful and thick. Lovely emerald green. Got lots of compliments. I think it looks better in person. 

I absolutely loved this dress. I am a gal with big hips so it was a little snug when I sat down, but other than that I loved this dress. I received many compliments. The green color is so unique, and no one was wearing anything close to similar! The peplum detail is adorable. I wore with black tights & shoes and paired with a chunky pearl necklace. Super easy to style . Thanks, RTR!

It was just the perfect size. There is zero give in the dress. The dress is so well made and the material is very nice. I think I'm going to rent this again for my company Christmas party. 

The top and waist fit perfectly to my size! I felt supported enough that I also did not need to wear a bra. The peplum element is not overwhelming which is good, but it does give the appearance of a little lift in the area, which is nice for us women lacking in the lower regions. My only complaint was that since it is a pencil skirt dancing was a slight challenge, but I assumed as much when I rented it and felt that the dress was still worth it!

The dress was gorgeous! I loved the material...it is better suited for a holiday party although you can certainly wear it during the summer like I did. Like other reviewers mentioned it is a bit tight around the thighs but it won't prevent you from wearing the dress comfortably in my opinion. I received many compliments including from the former Gov. of Georgia Roy Barnes and his wife Marie. I definitely recommend. 

When trying on the size, try sitting down to make sure it's comfortable. It seemed to tighten up in the shoulders upon sitting. 

Got lots of compliments and family and friends said I looked great. Great color for fall wedding  and very flattering for my hour glass figure body. I am usually between an 8 and a 10 depending how forgiving or stretchy the lower half of the dress due to my hips/derrière. 8 fit good on top but tight on the hips so went with ten that fit like a glove. The "flaps" on the hip didn't perk up like they do on the model and more so rested right on the hip which was ok - but something to note for the "bigger" sizes compared to a 2-6 probably.  Thick material - felt expensive as it should! Another RTR success! 

Rented for a wedding... The fit is a little snug.. I could barely get Into my SUV because there is not a lot of room in the skirt. It is a very pretty dress though. I loved the glam floral pattern and the peplum is elegant and flattering. 

The fabric, color and shape are all fabulous and when standing it's an A+ look. But...the second I sat down I realized its short comings. The neckline choked me, the hemline has no stretch and the bust became loose and unflattering. As gorgeous as the peplum looks on the model, in real life it is far more limp, I kept trying to fluff it up to no avail. Great dress, terrible functionality. Also, way to heavy and not breathable for a summertime party. (My bad!)

This dress was such an amazing fit and really accentuated my waist, which was perfect. The subtlety of the green pattern is absolutely gorgeous, and the cut of the dress is conservative but classy. The one (tiny) complaint that I have is that the skirt tended to feel very tight and ride up while I was seated (and I had to be seated for 3 hours), but it's a very comfortable and beautiful dress. I would totally rent it again.

Evelyn, please tell me did you shorten the dress?  Perfect effect!  Thanks.  Lorraine

The dress is very comfortable and fits well. I got tons of compliments. Only issue...make sure you can get the bottom of the pencil skirt over your hips, otherwise, the only way to use the restroom is to take the dress off completely. Luckily, I was able to, but if my hips were ANY bigger, I would have had a big challenge. I will definitely rent this again.

Wore this for a Mad Men event and it worked perfectly with my pillbox hat and pearls. This dress fit perfectly in the chest and waist. The length just covered my knees. It was slightly snug in the hips, but it worked fine. There was no give to the fabric, so the skirt rode up some when I was seated for awhile. Otherwise, the fabric was luxurious and the dress made me feel so glamorous. 

The peplum hid my momma pooch and created a nice waist.  It was true to size and fit just right.  It was a sit down dinner with no dancing, but the skirt may have inhibited my moves if i had a chance to show them off.
