Well made, flattering.
Beautiful dress. My favorite RTR so far. I'm 5'1 so I was concerned about the fit, but it worked. Very striking dress. I highly recommend it.

Great dress.
I did not end up wearing this gown. I opted for a metallic dress I had but it fit really well and was gorgeous. It actually was a great black tie dress as everyone at the wedding was wearing black! Also, I had this shipped to me on SATURDAY and the wedding was on Saturday. The rent the runway staff was so helpful and I was really thankful to have this as a backup. Also, the first couple of times I called I didn't quite get the assistance I was seeking β so just call back!

Fun and super sparkly ring. Recommend!
I loved this ring! It was so beautiful and so fun to wear. Lots of compliments! My husband said "you should keep that"! Haha, not sure if he knew how it worked. Highly recommend. But it is quite large!

Great dress, beautiful color, not for a very formal event.
This dress was beautiful. It was my first pick dress for a blacktie wedding. It has stretch and a slight flare at the bottom. BUT, I could not wear this dress because even with the highest shoes I own, it was still too long on me. Also, because of my petite frame the cut out kind of sagged unless I threw my shoulders back and stood tall. Also, I wore the other backup rent the runway dress I got and was happy I did so, because when I showed up to the blacktie event the majority of the people were wearing black and I felt like I really stood out. If I had been wearing this blue dress as opposed to the metallic dress, well, I probably would have gone back and changed! Rent this dress if you have a semi formal, outdoor or beachy wedding and you are like 5'4 or taller!

Pretty dress, fun to wear, good for petites!
I'm short so I read quite a few reviews where available to make sure I got something I could actually wear. I chose this dress because it came in short length. This was my backup dress, and ultimately my first choice "regular" length dress was just waaaaay too long on me. So if you are short, this dress length is great. However I'd say it could have been an inch longer on me β what can you do?! I usually wear a 4 in pants, shirts, etc. But the a rent the runway associate recommended the 2P. As I suspected the dress around the rib cage was very tight. But it loosened up. Also, as some girls had mentioned one of the straps is a lot more lose than the other, it does! This translates to the front of the dress sagging a bit and the girls have the opportunity to make an appearance. I had to pin the middle to make myself feel more comfortable and not as exposed. It also has some stretch which is amazing. I'm also very sensitive to wardrobe discomforts. This dress photographed wonderfully and I got a lot of compliments. I'd recommend it, especially if you are a short gal!
