Beautiful and well constructed dress. Definitely a stand out!

This dress run quite large. I am normally a solid size 16 in dresses (and sometimes an 18 in pants) and I ended up wearing a 14 which still wasn't super fitted. It was nicely constructed and VERY comfortable. Lots a compliments! This dress is a showstopper :)

Beautiful detail on the dress and great shape

I would say this dress runs a full size larger than marked. My dress was falling off of me the whole night. :(

I wore this dress for my bachelorette party.

This dress was absolutely beautiful! It still had the tags on it when I got it. I typically wear a size 18 in clothing, but knowing it was a designer dress and there weren't any reviews yet, I ordered a 20 and a 22. Honestly, I could have worn the 18! The dress runs a little large in the shoulders area. All in all, the dress is VERY comfortable and the stitching pattern on the outside is sturdy and gorgeous. It was absolutely perfect and I had so many compliments on it!

The entire process was so effortless! From ordering to delivery to returning the dress. AMAZING!

I loved this dress! When I got it I was even more in love then when I ordered it. It looks amazing and I was complimented on it all night, when I told them it was rented they couldn't believe it. Dress runs large I'm a 16 regular but because plus sizes are wide I had to wear the 14W (I wore a spanks but even without it) and it was still rather big on me. So definetly use the extra free dress selection. Next time around I'll order a 12W and 14W. The dress fit well around my bust, hips and fell right above my knees.

Last minute choice for a black tie optional event

I have very large hips/thighs and this dress fit nicely and was very comfortable in those areas. The rest of the dress was a bit big, but not too noticeable - I rented this last minute so there weren't any smaller sizes available. Very low cut, so if you're not comfortable with that, this is not the style for you - photo doesn't show it because of my hair but I had a lot of cleavage going on. Seashell design is subtle and elegant. The dress looks bright in person and pairs nicely with black strappy heels. I would definitely recommend it.

COMFORTABLE, TERRIFIC DETAIL

I got the smallest size this dress came in, which I knew would be a bit loose, which it was. The detail of this dress is a gorgeous scrolling. Just enough cleavage to be sexy. Perfect for large chest. Very comfortable material, easy to move in/sit in. Not too short, nice length.

I received so many compliments on me in the dress, especially from the younger people at the wedding

It does run big, it is a heavy dress. But prettier in person. I am short wasted so it was a little long in the shoulders, but very comfortable.

Love love love love love

This dress is SO beautiful! I am still getting compliments. A little heavy, but I love the texture. Soft and flattering. It ran a little big for me (Size 16 pant - worn a 14W dress). Would totally wear this again in every color.

Gorgeous detailing!

This dress is even more gorgeous in person when you can see the intricate detailing up close. It was perfect for a fancy night on the town with friends. The dress ran about a size too large on me--I'm pretty solidly an 18 and I wore a 16. The 16 was still a little large in the bust (and I'm certainly not small chested).

The dress was great. So many comments on how pretty it was. It was very comfortable too.

The dress I have was a 14w. If you normally fit in a 12/14 this will be lose on you.

Lovely dress

This is a great dress, a little loose in some areas but it was the best fitting of the three I had to pick from. The color and pattern are lovely and very versatile. I received compliments all night.

This is a beautiful dress that just wasn't cut right for me to wear it to chaperone a prom!

The shape of the dress and the fabric is stunning-- very flattering curves and gorgeous sheen and texture. Unfortunately I am short waisted and large busted, and even with a choice of both the 18W and the 20W I couldn't get the shoulders to sit in the right place and to not have cleavage exposed down to my belly button. If I owned the dress, a simple tailoring to raise it up at the shoulders would have made this a perfect fit in the 18 and a lovely choice, but as is, I ended up wearing my second choice dress from RTR for this event.

Not the best fit for apple shape.

I tried a 22 on at the store and the bust area was too big, so I ordered the 20. I'm 5'2", a full C, and carry most of my weight in my stomach. Even in the smaller size, the bust was too large. Beautiful dress, but I was pulling it up all night because my bra kept showing. Lesson learned for me is that dresses with higher necklines fit me better since I have to size up for my stomach. The good news is that I rented another dress with a high neckline for a second wedding the same weekend and it fit like a glove!

Beautiful but didn't fit

This dress is prettier than the picture. It was my first choice to wear and I ordered it in 14 and 16 and both were too big for me. If I was a little longer waisted it may have fit, but hung down from the shoulders. I wish I would have ordered a 12, my usual size is 14-16. Will definitely use Rent the Runway again.

This was beautiful in person! The details are gorgeous and it was a huge hit at the cocktail party.

It's very true to size/fits close to the body, which made it a little shorter on me than I usually would've been comfortable with, but i was willing to overlook that because of how nice it is. Very substantial fabric so works well with shapewear under it instead of working against it.

Love this dress - it's comfortable and beautiful

The dress runs a bit large in the chest and had too many hanger slips that kept on sticking out. It is a beautiful dress and very classy. I loved it.

I wore it to a garden wedding in Washington DC and it was perfect. I received lots of compliments.

Surprisingly the fit at the shoulders was a little large and I have broad shoulders. The length was perfect and the fit at the waist and hips was fine. Danced all night and saw other R the R dresses out there too!

Luxurious fabric, felt formal and easy to wear.

The detail is really beautiful in person. This would be a great cocktail dress for a dinner party. The fabric is thick and curve hugging. The color choice is too light (close to white) to wear to a wedding, in my opinion.

Got tuns of complements

This dress is really pretty, however it runs really large. I could have used a regular size 14 or 16. It was comfy to dance in. I had to wear a strapless bra, and that was not a problem. I will rent again. I actually saw a couple of dresses from RTR.

rented this for my son's Bar Mitzvah. It was beautiful, the color is brighter than the pic

it was very comfortable. I like a dress that hugs my body a bit more than it did.

Comfort in a unique color.

I am tall and it is a bit short, but the fabric is really thick and beautiful. The color is unique and can be dressed up. Would be great for a cruise or summer evening party.

Was planning on wearing this for my bridal shower but it was too short to be able to sit comfortably in.
