OBSESSED!!!

To start with: I ordered this in a 10, and a 12 would have been perfection. (I’m a 10 or 12, but lean 12 on RTR.) That said, the second I put it on, I was in love. I felt like a million bucks! The color is a tomato red, the sleeves are perfecting for hiding the upper arm area. I got compliments the ENTIRE day, including multiple people asking the designer (which I’ve never been asked!). As an aside, we ordered my husband a GUSLESON tie on Amazon and it was a perfect match—similar colors without being too matchy matchy. I almost didn’t rent this, because this isn’t my usual style and it is a bit outside my comfort zone, but as my husband pointed out: it’s Rent the Runway, not Rent What You Usually Wear. If you’re thinking about it, definitely try!!

Classy for a formal occasion

Beautiful dress. Lots of compliments. Be aware that the fabric wrinkles. I steamed it and it was wrinkly after sitting in it. Still beautiful.

Favorite dress so far

This is one of my favorite dresses I’ve rented for a garden party wedding. The color is even better in person and it fit perfectly. It was more form fitting on me so I did not have any visible wrinkling. I was able to wear a strapless bra and shape wear underneath and still felt comfortable. Got lots of compliments!

Gorgeous Dress!

This dress is totally my style, for starters. I love a puffy sleeve and strapless look, so this is money for me. I wore this to my mom’s retirement party - she asked her children to wear bright colors - and totally stood out from the crowd. I got so many compliments and felt so comfortable in it. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous!

Loved this dress. I usually wear a size 4/6 and got the 8 which worked great. Easy to move in. Wish I got Spanx for my stomach area, but otherwise worked well.

This dress was so cute and got lot’s of compliments, but in pictures it does sometimes look a little clunky/thick.

Loved for wedding

super flattering and fabric has some stretch! both 8 and 10 fit me. I think the bust could be loose unless you have a bigger chest so that’s something to consider

This was really pretty and flattering. It was midi-length on me, but I felt like it looked really elegant and the red is striking.

This dress is smoking hot. It's fitted, has great structure and is bright. I wore it to work for my birthday (I'm extra) and it transitioned beautifully to dinner after. Would absolutely rent again if I want to make a lasting impression

This color was out of my usual comfort zone, but so glad I took the chance. Everything about this dress is amazing: the neckline, the sleeves, the print, everything. Got so many compliments and felt beautiful. Very fitted and no stretch, but fits TTS. I’m 5’3” and wore 4” heels, so it hit mid-calf.

Beautiful but order in larger size

The dress is a tight fit and you should order one or two sizes above your regular size. I ordered 6 &8 and should have gotten 10 &12. The color of the dress and design are beautiful.

Too small and no back up

This was sad because I was counting on this dress. But. The back up size was made unavailable at the last minute. And the dress runs smalllllll. It was so tight I was squeezed like a sausage.
