This dress is amazing. I actually bought it from RTR (it was 90 percent off, score) and I'm so glad it's mine because it's so much fun to wear.  It fits very well in the top and doesn't slide down, I didn't have to keep picking it up all night. I absolutely love the length and the material. All in all, would recommend! 

So I wore this to an outdoor summer wedding in California, while everyone else was tugging at their strapless bras and shareware, I was enjoying the freedom and comfort of this dress.  It has a built in bra that was very supportive and breathes better than other strapless bras, so minimal under boob sweat. It is very fitted up top, the skirt is roomy and it has POCKETS!!!  Large pockets at that, held my IPhone 6s+ securely while I danced.
The fabric is sturdy, the dress is well constructed.  

This dress was perfect for a spring wedding — it fit well, made me feel sexy *and* comfortable (although not too sexy, nor too comfortable!), and received compliment after compliment. I could go on and on about it, but I suggest you rent it and let it speak for itself.

Though it was a bit snug, I rocked the dress all afternoon into the wee hours of the night and I have an admitted very wide back and I was happy for the snug fit with the strapless factor. I'd buy this if I could 

I rented this dress for a charity gala and as expected, most other women were in black.  I loved standing out.  I have a 4mo old baby so I'm struggling with baby weight in new areas.  I found the size 14 to be tight around my waist and loose around my chest.  I felt beautiful in this dress and loved the high-low hemline.  I paired it with black and silver accessories.

Loved this dress. Wore it to Opening Gala of The Pan Am Museum at The Cradle of Aviation Museum. So well constructed, didn't have to pull it up all night.
I am between sizes 8-10, depending on the dress. This is cut a bit small, but ample rom for the not-flat-chested.
Loved this dress. Perfect Pan Am Blue!

I wore this dress as a Cinderella costume for Halloween, but I would recommend it for any formal event. The color is absolutely stunning - I received compliments all night. It's really comfortable, and pockets!

I wore this dress to a Sunday morning wedding for which I was having trouble deciding what to wear.  This dress was perfect because it had a great color, had a sturdy fabric and was tailored enough to wear to a really fancy hotel, but with the color and hemline it was casual enough for Sunday morning.  This was not my first choice, but after trying on the first choice, this was the best option.  I loved the fit and the color.  I received a ton of compliments based on the color and the fit.  This dress is also really fun to wear.  With the longer hemline, and structured fabric you can easily move around, dance etc. and it holds up it's shape.  I never felt like I had to stand or sit a certain way.  
Specifics:
The fabric is nice and sturdy, so no shaping garments, necessary.  The color is awesome.  I am short (5'3") and was wearing a 16, so I used temporary hemming tape to turn up the hem in the front so that it was above-knee like the photo on the website.  Because of the uneven hemline it was really easy to do that quick modification without it being obvious.  I could have gone without a bra, as it was sturdy enough to stay up.  However, it was a bit tight on me in the chest and flattened me out a bit (I'm a 38-D, which you really can't tell from the photo) so I wore a strapless bra to add some shape back.   

Wore this to a wedding, and it was perfect! The color and high low hem really helped it to stand out. The built in bra was enough for me not to need to wear a bra, which was amazing! Would rent this one again. It had a small tear at the back, but it wasn't enough to keep me from wearing (and loving) it. 

This dress was great and fun to wear to a wedding. My only complaint is that the boning in the bodice came down pretty low on me and poked my stomach when I sat (unless I had perfect posture, which I adopted for the evening!). I think that's partially due to me being shorter and this not being a petite size. Otherwise, I really enjoyed wearing the dress and got lots of compliments on it. The pockets were an added bonus. It was my first time using Rent the Runway and overall it was a great experience. 

This is my first RtR attempt and I was so incredibly pleased.  The wedding I was attending was a formal daytime affair and I was nervous about being out of place.  The boning in the bodice and built in bra made it possible for me to be comfortable without a bra.  The gown was a perfect length and fit like a glove.  The shape was very flattering on me and I'm self conscious of my mid-section.  I received loads of compliments and my husband even offered to buy it for me.  The color is darker than in the photo, but a still beautiful shade.

I rented this for a fundraiser with a "cocktail attire" dress code.  The dress fits true to size.  You'll feel like a mix between a princess and a party girl :)  

I usually have to get a 2 with dresses like this for the fit up top and this was actually quite fitted. Everything fit me really well overall though and I had no troubles keeping it up. Tons of compliments all night!

Top of the dress was very tight for a larger chest but overall got lots of compliments and danced the night away

This dress was definitely true to size - it fit so perfectly that I could even hook the inside corset and zip it up without any assistance.  The color is stunning and the cut is VERY flattering for an athletic/hourglass shape.  The top portion of the dress is structured and, unlike some strapless dresses with weight (the fabric is NOT light and flowey), I never once felt the need to adjust/pull it up.  I wore it to an evening cocktail/formal wedding at an aquarium and received compliment after compliment from other guests, event staff and complete strangers all night about the dress.  It made me feel extremely confident and honestly, I wish I didn't have to return it!!  It's a TRULY amazing dress and if you are considering renting it, DO IT!

I wore this to a traditional Hindu wedding, where I knew I was going to be surrounded by women wearing lovely, colorful, "blinged-out" saris and I didn't want to blend into the background. This dress fit the bill exactly. The color, fabric and texture were substantial and gorgeous. I received so many compliments and felt like a million bucks all night. Bodice was tight and did not stretch, but was not uncomfortable at all. Hugely recommend this one, ladies, you won't regret it! 

Loved this dress! I had many compliments on it all night. The pockets were amazing and big enough to where I did not need to carry a purse. Did not need a bra as there is one built in. Dress ran very small. I am always a size 6 but got the size 8 as my second choice and the 8 fit perfectly. The dress did come a day late which was inconvenient due to the out of town wedding I was attending. 

Wore this dress for my bday lunch which turned into a fashion week party which I crashed and totally fit in with this dress.  The top is tight with a built in bra/corset but the skirt is forgiving. I'm on the short side so you will need high heels not to drag the back of this dress and it is heavy for summer weather but beautiful!

I felt like a princess in this dress! The color and fabric detail are so pretty. The bodice was pretty tight, especially for big-busted girls, but I think the tight fit is somewhat necessary to make sure the dress stays up all night. The dress has pockets, which was convenient. I got lots of compliments all night long!
