Gorgeous dress and perfect fit!
This dress was beautiful, and the detailing was truly stunning. I received so many compliments throughout the night, and overall it photographed very well. The fit was great through the waist and hips, and the size 2 fit perfectly in that area. I do have a fuller bust, so I was definitely a bit tight on top in the 2. I also tried the 4, which fit better in the bust but had noticeable gaping in the back, so I ultimately chose the 2. Despite the bust being slightly snug, I was able to make it work and absolutely loved the overall look of the dress. I would recommend this style, especially for someone with a smaller or more proportional bust to waist ratio.

Pretty, but the arm hole is awful!
Sadly, I received an email from Rent the Runway informing me that the dress I originally rented was damaged upon return and could not be shipped in time for my event. I had placed my rental well in advance, so this was especially disappointing, as the original dress would have been perfect for the occasion. As a result, I had to scramble to select a replacement at the last minute. I landed on this dress, which was nice and very basic. The fit was fine everywhere else, but the arm hole was extremely tight and left noticeable marks around my bicep for hours after I took the dress off. Because of that, I would not rent this style again. Overall, the experience was disappointing, not because this dress was terrible, but because my first choice was unavailable despite planning ahead.

Did not get the dress in time
Sadly, I received an email from Rent the Runway informing me that the dress I rented was damaged upon return and could not be shipped in time for my event. As a result, I had to scramble to find a replacement dress at the last minute, which was incredibly disappointing since the original dress would have been perfect for the occasion. Rent the Runway offered to send me an additional rental bag for free due to the issue, which I appreciated. However, their inventory was extremely limited at the time, including the dress replacement options. I did not like any of the available bag styles and ultimately had no choice but to forgo a bag and select a plain black dress, which was not what I wanted for the event. If the inventory were better stocked and maintained, I would rent more often. Unfortunately, this was my first experience where I did not receive the dress I wanted or needed, despite placing my rental well in advance of my event. In the end, it felt like I was left in a difficult position with a tight timeline and very limited solutions.

Very matronly
Ended up not wearing the dress as it looked very matronly on. It was loose overall, which I was surprised, as I was hoping for a little more structure in the top portion.

If you have boobs, don't rent this!
I typically wear a size 0R or 2R. I rented a different dress in a 0 and it fit perfectly. I had an issue with the first dress, so I ordered this dress as a backup in the same size. When it came, I could not even zip it up because it was so small in the chest. Beautiful dress and color, but it is not meant for women with boobs. If you rent it, size up!

Beautiful dress and fit! Loved everything except the arm straps.
This dress was gorgeous and fit me like a glove! I wore it to a black tie wedding and got so many compliments on it. I normally wear a size 2 because of my larger chest, but surprisingly, the 0R fit really well. This dress was very flattering and if you have boobs, cleavage will abound. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the arm straps were super restrictive and I could not lift my arms up when I was dancing. These straps were super tight and not forgiving, but I love the off the shoulder style. Also, I had to have them send out another dress as the first dress had an issue with the boning, it was poking out of the fabric and pinching/scratching me. The second dress they sent out still had a slight issue with the boning but I was able to wear the dress with no problem. I will say RTR customer service is amazing! The boning and structure in the dress was needed, as without it the dress would have fallen off!

Loved this dress and fit perfectly! So many compliments!
This dress fit almost perfectly! I wore this to a rehearsal dinner that had a dress code of "Mexican flare." I got so many compliments on it and it was really comfortable. The only issue that I had was you could kind of see some under-boob because I have a larger bust, but the crocheted fabric was thick enough to hide it, so you did not really notice. I tried on the S and it was too large around my waist, otherwise, I would have worn it as it fit my chest. The XS was a little small, but not small enough to size up. A little tip - I would air this dress out as soon as you get it. The fabric is really thick, and the dry cleaning smell clung to the dress because of this. I sprayed some fabric/wrinkle release spray on it to help with the smell as well.

This dress was a huge hit! Loved it!
Since I have a larger bust, my dress size can range anywhere from a 0-6 depending on the brand and the cut of the item. I called Rent the Runway and told them my concerns and she told me to rent the size 2 and then size up to the 4. I tried on both and they both fit almost the same, the 2 was a tighter on my top so I went with the 4R and it was great! Definitely gave me a lot of cleavage, but fit perfectly around my waist. There is plenty of room in the hips since the bottom is a ball gown. I wore heels and the bottom of the dress just skimmed the floor. I will definitely be renting again!!
