Perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. Fit well and I felt great! The fabric was sturdy and had some give to it.

I loved how this bugged my curves, I didn't have to wear shape wear with this. It's really good material and comfortable 

Great length and style for the wedding rehearsal i attended!

Felt like this dress was made for me.  Have learned that this designer fits my shape every time.

Love the length, very elegant.  Went from a baby shower to an evening wedding. 

Happy the 6 fit.  Am an athletic 140 lbs with tan hour glass figure.

Fit is true to size - I am normally an 8/10 and wore the 12 at 16 weeks pregnant. Comfortable and great length for taller ladies 

I ended up going with the size up (size 6) to give myself a little wiggle room to dance in and it was perfect because it still gave me a nice shape without being snug tight. For reference I usually wear a 2/4 in The Loft dresses. I got a ton of compliments and I felt like a star.

Fabic and style is flattering 
The dress is fully lined and tailored 

I am 6”0. 163.
57 years old

4 not 5 stars just because it was a somewhat unforgiving dress- I'm quite small but the second I ate the dress was pulling at the waist as you can see in the photo. Besides that it was comfortable and sexy and not too short, and the color is great.

I think the dress was perfect, I was 20 weeks pregnant and it had just enough stretch to fit my belly. 

So many compliments!! Will definitely rent again soon for a fun event!! Super comfortable and stylish!! 

This dress was perfect for a company christmas party.  It fit like a glove. I usually wear a size 6 (and could have), but chose an 8 because I didn't want it clinging to me. Perfect fit.  It was knee length, I could dance in it and move freely. I would rent over and over for sure

I'm 5'6 and 155lbs. I wore the size 12 because I have wide hips and there's not very much give in the fabric, I'm normally a 10 and the 10 fit but was a little snug in the hips. The dress reached right to the middle of my knees. I got so many complements on it! I absolutely loved it!! 

I loved this color dress for a winter wedding. Fit was perfect. Sexy but classy!

This dress was wonderful and fit so well! I got soooooo many compliment from my friends at the wedding and from my friends through social media when I posted a picture with the bride! 

It is fitted throughout and is slightly stretchy so when I was dancing I could "drop it low" without feeling like I couldn't move. It's a little thicker which was nice for a winter wedding, but not so much as to cause you to overheat. I was worried about the top making my shoulders look really big but I think it all looked great! Spanx would be nice to have but not necessary. 

 I would definitely rent this dress again! 

I wore a size 10 and I'm a 34DD

Perfect fit, color and style without sparkle or extras! I got a ton of compliments. The material had a little give so it was very comfortable.

I wore this to a fall wedding and this dress was super comfortable, hid my midsection problem areas and was absolutely beautiful!

The fit of this dress was great! I am on the shorter side and was nervous it would be too long, but with heels it was great. My only complaint was the slit in the back. It didn't lay flat and looked as if the seams were uneven and bunches up.

Pros: Color, Soft Material, Non-constricting yet form fitting and flattering. Length was perfect - very appropriate while still looking young. I got a million compliments because I always always wear black and thankful this color red didn’t look too much like a fire engine truck :)

Cons - runs a little small, glad I ordered a size up - made it easier to move and walk in while still mainting shape. Can’t think of any other cons besides having to return it!! 

Loved this rental. I wore the size 4 as the biggest portion of myself is the bottom half. It was slightly less fitted on top but it still looked great. Length is always an issue since I'm 5"2' but this dress was the perfect length. 

THANK YOU CUSTOMER SERVICE: I'm an aspiring athlete and my body composition has changed drastically from the last time I had to wear a dress. I originally ordered an 8 with the 10 as a backup, but was really nervous about fit—so I called it in! Customer service was really helpful (we bonded over our love of Primark lol—I'm a primark jean 6/8 US) Thank God I did, because I ended up ordering and wearing the back up, size 6. 

QUALITY: The zipper was a bit worn, but I can understand why with how great this dress is! Fabric was thick, had some give, in bright lighting it'll show the outlines of any undergarments.

FIT: I'm 5'4" and it landed just below the knee. I have an almost nonexistent bust, but large chest measurements—and it was tight on my chest. I have rather prominent traps, so the shoulder straps dug in a bit, but I was able to show off my new arms and tattoos in a conservative way. 

PAIR IT WITH: a sticky bra, seamless/lace/thong underwear, nude accessories, and gold jewelry. 

LOVE IT: Absolutely adore this dress and would highly recommend calling customer service if you're nervous about sizing.

There was an endless supply of compliments and it was a very classy dress for the Catholic wedding I attended. It was not too terribly dressy but not too casual. I love it and HIGHLY recommend this dress.

I rented this for a wedding, it was form fitting and comfortable. The fabric hugs you but also has give. It is great for dancing! 

The 4 was a tad tight around the hips and thighs but a 6 wasn't available so I just went with it. Gorgeous dress with the right amount of stretch and the perfect bright red color. This was my first Rent a Runway rental and I was so pleased with the process. I will definitely rent from them again!

I loved this dress! Loved the simplicity of it. Very comfortable and classy 

Absolutely loved this dress! This was my first experience with RTR, and I am so glad I did it! RTR is easy to communicate with and I had no issues at all. This dress was absolutely amazing. It was so comfortable. I usually wear a size 10. The 10 fit- however I went with the 12 because I had just a little more wiggle room. I received compliments all night long (and from people who saw the photos from the event).  The only reason that I gave this dress a 4 star was because I stupidly got deodorant on the dress while getting ready and it was nearly impossible to get off the dress. Definitely recommend wearing this dress!  

Fit true to size and was comfortable. One of my favorites!

It fit all my curves in the right place. I got so many compliments, my boyfriend was floored and kept telling me how amazing I looked. 

Loved the fit of the dress, very true to size. 

Sexy, fitted, great material. Quality. I want to keep this dress forever!

Loved this dress! I wore it to a wedding and it was the perfect amount of dressy. It was very comfortable, and really showed off my curves. Highly recommend wearing this dress. I would have kept it forever if I could have!

I could have worn either the 8 or the 10. The 10 just had a little more room in it. Wore a strapless bra with it. 

I wore this dress to a summer wedding in 95 degree heat, and it held up very well!  Awesome neckline, and very stretchy (but flattering) material.  I danced all night!  I think the color would be great for fall as well! 5 stars!

I loved this dress so much! I am very very pear shaped and it accommodated all of my lower-half curves while still fitting my torso. The material was high quality, stretchy and hid most lines from undergarments, etc. I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat!! 

This was a very comfortable dress- perfect for a wedding! I got lots of compliments. Fit well and has a nice stretch to it! Would highly recommend. 

I prefer dresses to hit above the knee and this just hits below. It ran a little long for my 5'4'' frame.
It's a beautiful bright red color. 

I got a lot of compliments on this red dress and loved the thick material. It really held everything in, but I didn't have any issue dancing the night away. 

Great dress, fit well, thicker material, and very nice color. Beware if you run hot and sweat you will see the sweat. That is why the first dress I got in my size had a stain. The entire back was covered in sweat marks. I had to wear the 8 and it did the same thing only under my chest. I had sweat marks almost immediately. Do not wear this dress if you are dancing, that was my mistake! 

I rented this dress last minute to wear to a fancy restaurant to celebrate my birthday.  I did have to run out and buy some seamless shape wear because it does show every lump and bump.   I said it runs a bit small because although 10 is my usual size and this fit easily, it's a very slim/snug/revealing fit.  After the shape wear, I was really happy with the finished look.
