This such a good dress for wide hips. Lovely Spring/Summer dress but worked well in the Fall for me! I did have the pin the top to tame the cleavage (likely a 34DD/36D right now).

Love the print and the cut of this dress. The neckline is a little low-cut, which I didn't mind. I chose to wear a cami underneath since I was going to be meeting with clients. The top was a touch snug when trying to reach up, but not enough to warrant going up a size. Did I mention it has pockets! My rental had a little snag running down the front of the dress (about 6"), I only noticed it once while sitting. I would definitely rent again. 

Fit perfectly. Gave off old time, sweet vibes. The modern heart pattern kept it current. 

This was 1 of 3 outfits I rented for a work conference. Loved it -- so easy to wear! And SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! 
- Definitely size down - - I don't know if I've ever worn a size 2 dress before, but the 4 was ginormous on me and the 2 was pretty perfect
- Added an off-white belt to cinch my waist and break up the pattern a bit. 
- The red is very orange red, IMO. And I didn't realize online that the pattern is little hearts! 
- I had to use a safety pin to avoid my bra showing  in the front. 
- I was the conference planner, and people said this dress made me super easy to spot - - like a beacon! 
- It was so flouncy, feminine, and cute. And had super deep pockets.
- Didn't want to give this back! 

I usually wear size 4 but size 2 was recommended and it fit perfectly. The dress has a nice weight, is lined and has pockets.  I added the belt, and fabric tape above the top button. It really could use an additional button.  

I wore this for a team dinner while on a work trip! I loved it!!! It is low cut so I had to wear a tank top under it, if I wasn't wearing it for work I would of done without the tank top 

A little loose around the top but I don't think it's meant to be tight. Could have ordered a smaller size but I still think it fit fine

Wore this to work. Fun print. Got lots of compliments. Love the subtle fit/flare. Fabric felt well made. Thought this fit pretty true to size. The 4 was a tad snug - probably would have preferred the 6 (my true size). 

For reference - I am a true pear shape. More of a small/4 up top and a medium/6 on bottom (though a little heavier than usual right now so probably more of a 6 on top and 8 on bottom)

I wore this dress to work and it was just a tad too big. The chest was a little too big so I had to wear a tank top underneath. Additionally it was pretty loose in the waist. It does have pockets which is amazing! Size down if you’re between sizes. 

A playful pattern and shape for work outfit. Skirt is a bit long and very skirty/lots of fabric.  Best was too small, plus a used a safety pin above top button to make it less revealing for work. Wish I could go up half a size. 

Got this for Valentine's week and it was perfect. I did find the neckline to be a bit too low to wear to work without a cami- when standing perfectly still it was fine, but I noticed my bra saying hello while I was doing my makeup in the morning. If not at work, I would have swapped the cami for a cute bralette that I wouldn't mind peeking out. Comfy and cute!

Great dress for work, got a lot of compliments. The waist was just a bit tighter but I actually think that gave it a better shape. 

This dress made me feel so classy. It ran a little large, in my opinion, so I had to pin the vneck dip. But, it was twirly and and HAD POCKETS. I got so many compliments on its pattern and shape!

Feels great on, love the flowy skirt w pockets! A lot of people said it ran big but I sized down and wish I hadn't of. I'll reorder in a 10 when I get a chance so I can be more comfortable sitting and eating in it etc. 

Loved this dress for teaching. I normally wear a 6 in jcrew and could have definitely worn the 4. Just added a safety pin because it's low cut. Great work dress! 

The dress fit true to size. I taped the top front partly the dress because it was too low cut for work. It has pockets which was awesome. Nice, cute dress for work or everyday. 

This midi-dress was incredibly comfortable (hello pockets!), flattering, and high-quality. I got so many compliments on it and will definitely be renting it again. I recommend sizing down, ESPECIALLY if you have a smaller rib cage or bust area for your typical size. 

Fun dress for the start of spring. I think there's supposed to be a matching belt but it didn't come with my order. True to size and great for curves. The V opening is too low cut for work, I had to pin it. 

Rented this dress to wear to work and loved it! The sizing fit perfectly - I'm usually a 0 or 2 and have slim shoulders so this 00 fit perfectly. 
The skirt is really flowy and feminine which I loved. It had a lot of volume without looking bulky. The fabric is a thin crepe material but the dress is fully lined so it's easy to wear. From the photo I thought the pattern on this dress was hearts which made me unsure if it would look right for work, but it's actually a more abstract print. 
There are pockets at the waist - perfect size for an iPhone and my work ID. 
Will definitely be renting this again to wear on the weekend! 


If you are in between sizes, size down.  

Size down! I originally got it in a size 4 and loved it but it was way too big. I ordered it again in a 2 and it was still a little loose in the waist and chest but not enough to stop me from wearing it. I love the color and design. I love the vintage fit and full skirt. I might eventually buy this dress, but I'm holding off for the moment. 

This dress is sooo comfortable and has pockets!! Plus it has a very pretty retro vibe and a stunning print! Will rent again.

Overall this was a great dress. I loved the cut, fabric, and pattern. The chest was tight, so if you have a large chest or broad shoulders expect some gaping in the buttons. The neckline was lower than expected but not a deal breaker. Lots of compliments! 

This is an easy dress - easy to wear and dress up or down. I'm 5'11" and the waist seam sat farther above my natural waist than I would have liked, especially while sitting. I would probably have preferred a size 4, but was able to wear the 2 pretty comfortably. I also had to pin the top for work.

Wore this with the POOLSIDE TWO TONE ASHLEIGH BAG, also from Rent the Runway!

A little low cut so I safety pinned it above the first button. Really cute print. Got lots of compliments. 

Very cute dress! Usually wear a 4 but this is a 2. Runs large in the chest but I was able to pin it (not shown) and was great for work. Can be dressed up or down.

Great quality and thicker fabric. Modest, with a tighter waist and flowy bottom that went below the knee. A little too long and the pattern was a bit too bold for my taste. 

Wish I had taken some pics. I didn’t wear as much due to it being a bit too large and perhaps a bit matronly- yet, loved the fabric and flow and colors and hearts and would try to size down maybe next time. I’m low waisted so that too is a little issue as far as purchasing this one. Pockets!!! Love those.

Loved this but the neckline is a little low for work, a quick safety pin fixes this. 

I'm petite, and I needed a safety pin above the top button to keep the neckline modest. Fabric was prone to static electricity at times during the day, but it was not a big deal. The skirt is flowing and fun. It was a windy day, and I did catch a Marilyn Monroe updraft a couple of times walking down the streets of San Francisco. I felt confident and feminine in this dress, and I enjoy so much having a new dress for a date.

I threw this dress in my 'bag' as my last choice before hitting the 'ship' button. But it turned out to be my favorite for the week! Hidden pockets are a plus, and these don't add inches to the hip like some do.

I'm in between sizes and 12 was the size down. The waist was a little tight but doable. It is a very flattering dress, especially in the chest area. 

This is a great work dress. Flattering, comfortable, fun print. It runs a little big. I am usually between a 6 and an 8 and the 6 felt a little big.

I read reviews and sized down. It fit well. 

a bit tight through the chest. fine for work.

More orange than red. This really wasn't the color I was expecting and definitely not a modern fit.
