Aiming for bronze goddess? Okay!

This dress ❤️ I wasn’t sure if the bronze would wash me out — but truly, SO many great comments on the color and style. Wildly easy to wear and cut to flatter. Did wear shapewear to keep smooth line, and a sticky bra.

Comfortable and Classy

I loved the dress! Paired it with gold accessories, I felt very Greek goddess! The off the one shoulder and fabric made the dress feel very sexy but it was so comfortable. Heads up if you dance at weddings you’ll find yourself making sure the ladies don’t pop out and you’ll keep shifting the dress back into place, but totally worth it.

The Dream Dress

Literally the perfect dress for wedding or event. It was equal parts sexy and classy. So many compliments. I would have sized up if it were available as it was a little snug and feel like the drapping needs room to really drape properly. Wish I could buy it!

Perfection

Loved this rental! I felt elegant and pretty yet very comfortable. The rouching at the midline hides the tummy very well. The length was perfect and sizing was spot on. Order your true size.

Bronzed Goddess Love!

This dress was new when I received it and I immediately fell in love with the silhouette and color. I wore it to a NY Day Party and felt sexy, in a modest way since only shoulders and shape were on display, but not a lot of other skin. Loved it and would definitely rent again.

I think this dress will look good on everyone!

I only tried this dress on. I didn't end up wearing it because it was too formal for the event I was attending. I wish I had an occasion for it, because it's very sophisticated, conservative, and sexy at the same time, style words that don't often go together. I am small chested and it didn't accentuate that with looks fabric because that's just the style of the dress.

Beautiful dress that accentuates your curves

I wore it for date night and on holiday. The dress is unique. The cut is flattering to the body and forgiving if you go overboard with dessert. It can definitely be worn for a more formal affair with the right accessories. It is lightweight so perfect for a hot day.

All around awesome

I ordered the 8 & 10. They fit almost exactly the same. Wore the 8 just because it was less wrinkled. No stretch to this, invisible side zip and perfect length for me even in flats. The color is a brown/gold. Went to a wedding with over 300 people and got about 200 compliments! Felt like i stood out without upstaging the bridal party. 100% recommend!

Gorgeous dress

This dress was perfect for a spring wedding. I needed to wear heels but it was so comfortable and felt so elegant in it. I got multiple compliments but unfortunately took no wedding photos. I wore a one shoulder sports bra underneath that I got from Amazon and it worked great.

Beautiful dress. Loved the color. Loved the style. Very easy to wear. The bodice of the dress was a bit big for me but worked just fine. Would have ordered an 8 if had been available.

Felt Fabulous!

Even with a shaper, I felt fabulous in this dress. The material was thinner than I imagined and I really liked the dress shaper I purchased to go with this. The fabric was smooth, flowing, and comfortable. Compliments all night. Glam neutral color giving many options for accessories. I wore the size 10. This was the second time I used Rent The Runway, another win.

Grecian Goddess Elegance

This dress made me feel like a modern-day Grecian goddess! The draped one-shoulder design is effortlessly elegant, and the fit was just right—flattering my curves while allowing for easy movement. The rich bronze hue gives a regal touch, and the fabric flows beautifully. Perfect for a formal affair, and I received endless compliments! If you love timeless, sophisticated glamour with a touch of drama, this is the dress for you. Pair it with gold accessories to complete the goddess vibe!

Gorgeous color and fit!

I wore this at 13 weeks pregnant with a small bump and it was perfect. The ruching highlighted the bump but also made the dress incredibly comfortable. Rented a 4&6 and the 4 fit great.

Sized up 2 sizes for 25 weeks pregnant. Still a little big, probably could've made a size 2 work. Wore to black tie NYC wedding. Intentionally chose to emphasize bump.

The dress has no give. I am 5'0 135. The 6P was too tight, this one fit but snug.

The zipper was hard to zip on both. Even with Spanx it was tight. So I think it runs small. So be aware.

Felt elegant but also cool - great color, flattering fit. A little long for 5'4 + 2inch heels, and felt a little large as well, so could've gone with a size 6.

Fit like a glove

Obsessed with this dress, got tons of compliments. Very flattering with how the waist cinches. I will say its definitely more of a cocktail dress its not long enough to be black tie as its just around ankle length.
