Felt confident, SO comfortable, second time renting this one!

Made from neoprene so stretchy, comfortable, cool, but looks very formal. The slit in the front gapes a lot so be careful when sitting!

Beautiful gown

Loved this gown! A little lower cut neckline than I expected but it was fine. Wore shapewear and a regular bra, which was nice. Dress was a bit long so I wore a platform silver sandal.

Classy with a hint of sexy

Beautiful gown! I wore it a gala. It was such a flattering fit; it hid any extra belly while showing a hint of cleavage and leg. Was extremely comfortable. I read the reviews and ordered a size up. I'm generally a size 4 or so when a gown is mostly just fitted through the top but I ordered sizes 6 & 8. The 6 was a smidge roomy - hard to say if the 4 would've been a bit too tight. I'm 5'4" and with my 3" heels it was just the right length.

Classic with some exciting elements. Low cut, but otherwise classy. I have long legs and with heels sometimes need a long, but this was even a little long on me.

Fit like a glove!

I was a little nervous to try RTR.. this was my first time. It was for a black tie wedding. The dress fit perfect! It was super comfortable. I didn't even have to wear a bra. Both the 12 and 14 fit but I ended up wearing the 14 because it didn't pull at the slit as much. It has a good amount of stretch. I got so many compliments! I would definitely wear this dress again.

Fabulous, comfortable, effortless glamor.

I am tiny (110 lbs, 5'2"), the OP was out of stock but I wore the OR because others had written that the dress runs short (order early to get the petite if you need it). The fabric is like butter--shiny & soft w/ just the right stretch in all directions. It does not wrinkle and everything stayed effortless in place despite dancing all night. I would love to own this dress & recommend it to you. (Wore it to a Black Tie wedding--used a pashmina during Mass and removed the pashmina for the reception). This dress was absolute fire!

This dress was so comfortable and I received tons of compliments. It made me feel regal.

The neckline is really low, especially if you have a large chest. I large statement necklace is a must!!

Great for hiding a belly and holding a bosom. Terrific stretch.

I loved this dress and plan to buy it for future use. This dress is flattering and cut in a way that minimizes things you might want to understate (in my case my large belly and very large bosom). The slit is pretty high so certain Spanx will be visible. Overall, a very flattering dress for people of larger size.

Perfect formal or black tie wedding dress

I loved this dress. It showed off the chi chis. It gave me an hourglass figure. It looked luxurious. Trust me — it might seem plain by the pics on the app but this dress is the McLaren of wedding guest dresses if you are a curvy lady. I’m 5’8” and 210 lbs and the 16 for perfectly. Pair with an Unreal Fur coat and a designer bag and you are set.

SIZE 16 - OMG MOST FLATTERING DRESS EVER

I have a tummy and I didn’t wear spanx. Just a push up bra and panties. Elegant. Sexy. This dress was gorgeous on. And sooooo comfortable. Enough fabric to fit smoothly. Enough stretch to hug just right. Highly recommend.

Great dress

The scuba material is very forgiving and easy to wear. This dress has some nice cleavage and I did not find the slit to be too high or inappropriate as described by some other reviews. The dress was very slimming and definitely draws attention at the top and away from problem tummy area.

Perfect for a black tie wedding! It ran a bit large, but it was so beautiful and comfortable I wore it anyways. The material was thick and a beautiful color. The neckline was a bit low, and the slit was centered in front.

Elegant and sexy! Compliments all night!

This dress was a stunner and fit so beautifully. I wore a size 16 which is what I wear in jeans - and I am 5’3” and the height was perfect with a little block heel. The plunge is low but I wore shapewear underneath that made it a little less crazy with the cleavage. The fabric is like butter, so soft and really thick. I felt so comfortable all night. Wore wirh Spanx plunge bodysuit shapewear and it didn’t show with the high slit. Highly recommend!

LOVED. The material is a bit stretchy and the front ruffle was super flattering. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to fill out the top properly but that wasn’t the case. A tad long but perfect when worn with heels.

Amazing dress

This was such a well made dress and very flattering. I was able to rent the 4R and 6L. I went with 6L because the length was better with 3in heels, but both sizes fit very well. I’m 5’7 1/2 .

stunning and sexy

Wore this as a wedding party dress and got compliments all night. I was able to wear a normal (plunge) bra, and the fabric is heavy enough that I didn't need shapewear, but not as stiff as it looks in the photos. Also didn't wrinkle! Absolutely loved.

Amazing fit, comfortable material

Wore this dress to a black tie optional wedding. Dress fit like a glove, flattering for curves and the peplum detail in the front covered any belly lumps! Love that this came in a petite (I'm 5'3" - perfect length with heels). Low cut in the front - ended up wearing a stick on bra to avoid any slips!

Great experience!

First time using rent the runway. I had no idea what size to order. A few months ago I was in a wedding and needed a size 22, but I wear M/L and size 10/12 in every day clothing. I ordered a 12 and a 16 from RTR. The 12 for perfectly! The cleavage and slit were fun, the fabric was thick, and the dress hid mom-belly nicely. Oh and the dress was delivered several days early which was nice!

This dress could not be easier to wear! The fabric and peplum cover any imperfections (aka mommy tummy) and the stretch makes it super comfortable. The top was a bit loose but nothing I couldn't work with. I would 100% rent this again for a black-tie event.

Perfect fit and was luxurious

I am 5'7, 200lbs, 44in bust (38DD), 38 waist, 42 hips. I wear this dress to a wedding. As most of the reviews have said, it is very low cut and if you are busty, this is perfect to show it off. You just might need a deeper plunge bra. The fabric was very forgiving, did not show any of my lumps and rolls, it was very comfortable, not itchy. The straps did not fall down and if I had bought the stress off the rack, it would not have needed any alterations.

Has enough stretch to be functional while still having an interesting silhouette

I'm 5'8", 32DD, and generally a size 8-10. I found that with heels and some strategic double-stick tape, 10L was a good fit. I was comfortable the entire night as the fabric has some give and a cut that is flattering to the midsection. I'd rent it again.

Showstopper gown

I rented this dress for a formal evening wedding and it was a HIT. I felt very confident in it and people were complimenting me all night which meant a lot because I was surrounded by gorgeous dresses. In terms of fit, I wore the 8L. The 6 was actually a better fit but for some reason was very short (though I ordered the 6L, maybe it was a mistake) but I wanted it to be the right length, so I just used some fashion tape to keep the top from gaping. It was comfortable to wear, very stretchy too!

Beautiful dress

I probably needed a size 8L in this dress, but it wasn't available. So, I went with the 6L. The smaller dress made the slit in front a bit more open than I would have liked, but overall, the dress is beautiful. I received compliments all night on it. The fabric is a bit thicker than I expected; this made it easier to not wear shapeware underneath.
