I may purchase it!
This dress is a captivating dark hot pink lace dress that combined funky, classic, and romantic elements flawlessly. It garnered numerous compliments when I wore it to my son's graduation party, leaving me tempted to purchase it. The dress's bold color, intricate lace detailing, and comfortable fit make it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Perfect for graduation
I rented a gorgeous white lace dress for my graduation, and it was absolutely perfect! The fit was amazing, and it made me feel elegant and chic without being too revealing. It was comfortable to wear throughout the event, and I would highly recommend it for any semi-formal occasion.

The fit is a little tight, but it's a beautiful dress. I want to rent it again. Very chic and classy.

Sleek and form-fitting
Very form-fitting dress. The size and length fit great. I'm 5'3 and close to 130 lbs. I wore 3-inch heels, and the dress just touched the floor. Another reviewer left a recommendation for a Stila lipstick that matched the dress, and she was right. It was the exact color of the dress. Although this dress is pretty, it's not a WOW dress; it's simple and functional. You can wear closed and open-toe shoes in almost any color. I opted for nude to make the dress color pop more.

Glamorous and vintage, like a Golden Age Hollywood actress.
This dress has a vintage look. The draped sleeves and the fit on the waist are very feminine. I ordered a size 4, and even though it seemed that it was lightly large, it actually looked that it was meant to look loose around the sleeves and back, because of the cut. This was a backup dress and I didn't wear it, because I opted for the other RTR dress. However, I did love this dress, and I will be ordering it in the future for another formal event.

Very pretty and feminine dress.
The dress is very pretty and feminine. The length is perfect, however, the chest is a bit tight.

Gorgeous!
So glad that I rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal. I got many compliments. It's a unique dress. The lace makes it modest but sexy at the same time. Great fit and just beautiful overall.

Clean and modern
Wore this dress to my bachelorette dinner and it was a great fit. It was a nice, clean, modern dress. I wore it with nude heels. Later in the evening when it was a bit chilly I threw on a black leather jacket and it gave it a bit of an edge look. The little opening in the torso area is perfect, not too much but still sexy.

Gorgeous dress.
This is such a beautiful dress. I rented this dress originally for my engagement shoot, but unfortunately the fit wasn't great. I was too busty for it and ultimately decided to not wear it. I don't mind low plunging necklines, it was just too much for the occasion. Didn't want my guest to pay more attention to my chest when receiving my Save the Dates than the other important details. However, the length of the dress was perfect. It swept the floor just enough to give it the at romantic feel.

Unique but beautiful
This dress is definitely unique. It's conservative but sexy at the same time. I'm 5'3 approximately 120 lbs and the 2R fit perfectly. I wore it with simple black heels and dark red lipstick. This again was a replacement order because my original order was unavailable. This has happened to me now on multiple occasions with RTR, but I have yet to be disappointed by any of their replacement orders.

Clean and classy
I'm 5'3 and 125 lbs and I wore the size 2 regular and it fit perfect. The only thing is that even with 3 inch heels it was probably still 2 inches too long. I was the maid of honor and had to hold my dress up the entire event so that I wouldn't trip. However, when standing and taking pics it looked wonderful. This is a very classy, clean, flattering dress. This dress was actually a last minute replacement because I was really disappointed with my original order, the Eden dress. I got the original order on Thursday, called them that evening, and this dress was already sitting on my front door by 11 am on Friday. Thanks RTR for always having great customer service, this is why I'm loyal to you.

Beautiful gown and perfect fit.
This gown fit great. I'm 5'3 125 lbs and the sizing was just right. I wore a 3 inch heel and the dress grazed the floor just perfectly. Warning, be very cautious when getting up or walking because it can get caught on your heels or the chair legs. The dress is more vibrant in person than in picture. Makeup or nail polish options are endless when wearing this dress.

This was my first rental from Rent the Runway and I was very pleased with the experience.
The dress is very pretty. I received plenty of compliments. I'm a petite girl and when I first received the dress I was a bit worried because it seemed like it was just too big for me. But once I put on my heels it fit great. The length was a bit longer on me than the what is pictured, but I am only 5'3. I added some pearl earrings and necklace and it all came together nicely. The only con was that there was a small area on the bottom of the dress that was not correctly pressed and bulged out a bit.
