I ordered 3 dresses in different styles/colors/fabrics and this one fit the best! I’m short a bit over weight and very busty. I needed a gown for a charity event and didn’t want to buy one, hence RTR. I was nervous but decided to go for it. I ordered a size up from my “normal” size based on other reviews. Everyone was right, the dress fit me perfectly, accommodating both my big bust and my belly. Even with a low heel the length was perfect. Most importantly, I felt pretty and got many compliments. The fabric was a heavy enough weight that I didn’t a wrap or sweater and I wasn’t too hot either. The dress only needed simple shoes and simple jewelry which I had and poof I was gala ready! 

This dress was cute. Deep V needed dress tape but I’m not a well endowed gal. Wore with 3 inch heels, without them it would have been a bit long for me being 5’2. 
Would totally rent this again got so many compliments 

I wore this dress to a formal wedding that was held at a historic hotel in November. It was a chilly but sunny day, but I was completely comfortable without any extra layers. I received many compliments and felt so elegant. I am so pleased with my first Rent the Runway experience!

A belt help dress it down but really it is a very versatile dress for many occasions.

This dress was perfect for a fall wedding I attended.  I wore the dress's sister pattern for a wedding in the past and loved the weight of it for a chilly outdoor wedding in the fall.

Enjoyed wearing the dress to two separate weddings. Was happy that I was able to get this dress in time for those two weddings. I danced all night. 

 Dry comfortable and perfect for a gala with lots of dancing. Many compliments. Pictures don’t do it justice. Green and gold on bottom ‘brocade’ but not heavy!  TTS. Wore the 6 and I’m 5’4. Great with a small heel. 

 This dress was a show stopper. The best part was that it was beyond comfortable. The top was a nice stretchy cotton, but didn’t take away from the glamorous skirt. The skirt also had pockets, which is always a huge plus.. 

I wore this to a black tie gala, but it would be amazing for a formal winter wedding or a formal holiday party as well. The green and sold are so rich and beautiful. If you are thinking about renting this dress, do it!! 

Very low cut so I wore with nipple covers instead of a bra for a seamless look. In 2.5” heels, the length was perfect and did not drag. Loved the slightly cropped sleeve to show my watch and bracelets. Received many compliments and it photographed nicely. 

Great dress! Enjoy every moment in it. 
I thought the sleeves felt a bit short, but that didn’t stop all the looking fabulous feelings. 

I was able to wear my normal size and with a medium heel it did not drag on ground

The skirt is dramatic and the fit is great for an hourglass figure! This showed more cleavage than what I normally wear, but I think the long sleeves balanced the deep V-neck. 

Absolutely loved this dress. It was so comfortable and it has pockets :) highly recommend, especially if you’re on shorter and bustier side.

Amazing dress, with POCKETS! Very flattering. Love the high/low.

I got this dress for a wedding and I got so many compliments! I highly recommend! The pockets are fabulous! It is so comfortable! Loved this dress!

I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner where I was the Matron of Honor for a January wedding. I am typically a 2 and went with the 2R and it was a perfect fit. I tried on the 0R and it fit, but was too tight on the arms. I received so many compliments and it was extremely flattering. I'm 5'6" ~130lbs and with 2 inch heels the dress did not drag on the floor. I would absolutely rent this dress again.

Modest, Comfortable, easy to move in, shiny but elegant, cute with either black heels or flats

No bah-humbug in a dress like this! It was perfect for a holiday show - and it has pockets so I was able to easily stash my mask as needed. 

Loved this dress! I wore this to a benefit gala and received compliments all evening. Loved that the dress has pockets and that I was able to wear everyday under garments with it. I'm 5'2" and wore it with 3" heels and the long hem skimmed the floor perfectly. Ran a bit large for me - was pleasantly surprised to wear a 2, however my bust is modest. Would rent again in a heartbeat! 

Not too revealing and has pockets! So comfortable 

Dress fit perfectly, I could wear a normal bra with it and it was comfy and I felt so good in it. For anyone who gets cold it is great at keeping you warm without overheating. 

It was both sexy with the low cut and classy with the full skirt.

This dress was perfect for Christmas. Subtle gold and green fit with the holiday colors, while the black top was flattering. Best of all, it has POCKETS! 

Beautiful Christmas dress, true to size & comfortable.  Got a ton of compliments & felt very pretty 

Loved this! Top is stretchy and overall the dress is comfortable. Not much jewelry is needed because the dress itself is stunning. 10/10 would rent this again!

I really loved this gown! I emceed a charity event and wanted something special, but prefer to cover my arms. It was the perfect way to highlight my assets but not arms ;) The fabric is thick so it's not the most flattering side view, but the front pleats are lovely and I got a lot of compliments. It was nice to go green instead of usual all black. The high/low style is adorable. I wore black wedges. Black fabric has a little stretch but not a ton. Was happy i could wear the 14 vs usual 16.
