Compliments!!!!!

I got so many compliments on this dress the entire night. I’m 5’5” and a 34D. It was tight in all the right places, but the top was a little big. I had to pin the insides so my bra wasn’t showing all night. I chose the 8 long so I could use the extra material to bunch around my waist, especially while sitting.

I had to size up a tad to be comfortable.

This is a 12 I'm more of an 8-10 depending on fit. This was too big, but the 8 was too small and I love this dress so I just compromised.

I got so many compliments on this and it fit perfectly. Even though it’s super fitted, I didn’t feel sucked in like I could still move in it. I adore this dress

Agree with other feedback, the midsection on this dress definitely runs snug, but it is gorgeous. Got lots of compliments. The colors are bright and stunning.

The 4 was very snug and hard to zip up, but fit like a glove. Many compliments all evening and FB.

I am a 34A, and the size 6 fit perfect, but was too large in the bust, so I was able to squeeze into the size 4 (my normal size). You need fashion tape to hold up the top if you are small chested. The colors are even more vibrant in person. This dress will not disappoint. My favorite so far from Rent The Runway.

Unique, bright and I felt cute!

I’m a curvy 5’2”, and the 8 fit great throughout waist, hips and thighs. However, the top was a little big. I used fashion tape under each armpit to keep it from sagging and it worked well. I wore 3” heels and with the slit it was just above the floor. Easy to walk in then! I felt good in it! (Wore to a charity gala)

Perfect for a formal Derby Fundraiser

I normally wear a six but the eight was the only thing available and it fit pretty well if a teensy bit big. It was a little long in the torso and big in the chest so I grabbed a rubber band and tied up the shoulder - it actually looked cute, like a little flower. I also added a sash for a little extra something and to help keep, the dress in place. Loads of compliments. It was perfect for my derby event, and looked great with my handmade fascinator.

Beautiful color in sea of black

Beautiful formal gown. Flattering cut that had a little give, packed/folded easily. I’m typically a 2 or a 4 and had to size up to a 6 due to the stomach being a little tight.

The right amount of EXTRA!

I went to a formal gala. I like people to see me before I enter the room and this dress did just that. So many compliments. It had the perfect amount of stretch. I sized up 1 size so that I could move and eat. All in all…this dress was the statement piece that I dreamed of for this event.

Perfect!

This beautiful dress fit like a glove and was super comfortable. I wore it “as-is;” I didn’t need to do a thing except slip it on. I received multiple compliments throughout the occasion, which was a black-tie-invited wedding & reception. It would have worked beautifully with heels, but I opted for dressy, low-wedge sandals = perfect. I paired it with a pink shawl for the wedding. I loved this dress; I had a hard time parting with it and would definitely rent it again!

I wore this for a business recognition event. I felt amazing in the dress and received so many compliments. It did not have as much stretch as I thought it would, but luckily fit! The length with a shorter heel was perfect!

Eye popping curve hugging beauty!

So I guess I should say I don't have curves so many be it would be better to say body hugging. Every part of this dress was perfection. I felt so festive and sleek at the same time! I can't get enough of this dress.

Fun + Vibrant

What a fabulous dress!! So many compliments and it worked perfectly for my friend's derby-esque wedding ! Great material, structured and form fitting. The colors are so vibrant the pictures do not do it justice. The strap stays in place and is cut well for a strapless bra. I'm 5'8 and the 16L just reached the ground with a nice heel. Functional split, helps with mobility without being to high. It's great, RENT IT!

Perfect pop of color for Napa Wedding

I loved this dress! Great quality and thick form fitting fit is very forgiving around your curves. Despite the snug fit, I was thankful i didn't need to wear shapewear underneath. I was between the 6 and 8 and while I could make either work, I ended up wearing the 6 because the 8 was too loose in the bust area. Generally I have a hard time because I'm a 4 bust, 6 waist, 8 hips/butt. The 6 fit best up top and hugged my curves well!

To Die For!!

OMG I love love loved wearing this dress. Wore for a summer wedding and it fit like a glove. I am 5'4" and wore 2" heels and the dress just touched the ground. The material is a little thicker but had nice give to it to zip into but still held its shape. If I owned this dress I prob would shorten the strap to stop a little gapping but fashion tape held it in place just fine. So many compliments!

So glad this backup dress made it in time!

I rented this dress for a formal wedding in June. I was a little hesitant about the pattern of this dress when I first received it in person, but it looked stunning in photos. The fit was super flattering and comfortable -- I loved wearing it! Received endless compliments throughout the night. I absolutely recommend this dress! As I am usually a 00P I am saying this dress runs small bc the 0P fit me well.

Flattering and Fun for my new headshots!

I rented the 4 & 6 (I'm a 3/4 in jeans). The 4 didn't quite zip, so obviously I went with the 6. The fabric is thick and so flattering. The slit on the leg and the single shoulder strap make for a daring look but I love that my boobs are covered!! The print was bold and it came out great in pictures.

Such a pretty bright dress!

I wore this dress to a formal event in Southern California and it was perfect! The colors are gorgeous and it was actually long enough for me! The chest was too tight for a regular bra, so be prepared with a stick on. My only issue is that it wasn’t that comfortable to sit in and we did way too much sitting at my event.

Fabulous dress for a formal wedding!

This dress was just the best. It was a huge hit at a late summer formal wedding, super comfortable, and incredibly flattering. Colors were bold and the fabric had just the right amount of stretch. I’m 5’5” and the 2P was perfect with flats. Tried the 4L (that’s what was initially available) and would definitely have needed hem tape. The 4 was a slightly looser fit on my frame and would have worked but I liked the form fitting of the 2.
