Fit like a glove
This dress was so good! Stretchy but not too big, hugged in all the right places without being tight and the print was just different enough to stand out. I’m not a fan of showing much cleavage so I’d say that’s the only downside (but I’m probably in the minority on that one). At 5’2” this is the first RTR dress I’ve rented that was the perfect length. I took my true size, not petite.

Not sure I was sent the petite version
I ordered this in MP and LP for a benefit gala. I’m 5’2”, 145 lbs. The LP was about 6” shorter than the MP. There was no petite label in either so who’s to tell what exactly I was sent. The MP fit everywhere except length. Double-sided tape fixed that. The LP was too big but the perfect length. However, where the straps are sewn at the front neckline, they were crossed over on the LP and the dress wouldn’t lay flat on my upper chest/neck. It was a little frustrating. Ended up going with MP and a temporary hem of double sided tape. The dress felt great and fit perfectly and I received compliments all night.

Pretty, but too long
This was my back-up dress for a black tie gala. It was pretty, but the fit was slightly off for me. The 8 was difficult to zip (that darn side zipper) but once it was zipped, it was pretty comfortable. The 10 was too big. I’m 5’2” and it dragged the ground with 4.5” heels. I would’ve tripped all night. I wish there were more options for petite length long dresses on Rent the Runway.

Such an elegant dress!
Ordered this in an 8 & a 10, ended up wearing the 8 with plenty of room. Probably could’ve worn a 6 but glad I had the extra room. At 5’2” I was nervous it would be too long since it wasn’t offered in petite sizing. It was just right with 3” heels. I got compliments all night and felt so elegant and comfortable in this dress. The slit up the left leg is pretty high, but a safety pin did the trick for me.
