All the reviews on this dress were thankfully accurate. I am on 5'1" & 104lbs, so I was nervous getting a regular size dress instead of a petite. It was the perfect length with heels. I am a 34B. I thought the neckline was going to be so plunging that I was going to have to use boob tape, but it is well covered (at least for my size chest). I didn't even have to wear a bra. The material is fairly heavy, so there was no chance of showing through. This was my first order on this site and I was really happy with it.  

This dress fits perfectly! The weight of the dress is very flattering because it hides and bumps you may have. It is a little low cut but that just made me conscious of my posture.  No slouching for me. :) I received many compliments on it.

I rented this for a formal Christmas party; I am 5'2", but was able to wear the 8R with heels without any problems. It's very flattering and comfortable, and the material makes it very comfortable yet dressy. 

I originally intended this dress to be my backup, but I fell in love with it.

Fit:  The material is very stretchy, so your body type has a lot to do with how it looks.  However, there is some ruching in the front that gives the illusion of a flat stomach. 

Length:  I wore 2.5 inch heels, and the dress hit the floor perfectly.  

Cons: The dress is very low cut--more than what I thought it would be after looking at the photos.  After some clever use of double stick tape, I felt much more secure.

Overall, this dress is very sexy and will definitely catch everyone's eye!



I loved how this dress fit, and it was so comfortable wearing all night too. We attended a black tie event at the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery in Washington DC and this dress was just perfect for the evening. I felt comfortable enough to dance in it and sit and eat, which we know is important. It was very flattering and its very true to size. However I will say I usually don't order longs in dresses or pants and in this I ordered a 2L and a 4R, and the R was way too short on me, I needed the L, so I was very happy I did that. The heels I wore were about 2.5-3 inches high. Its a very simple and elegant dress and I was very pleased with how I felt all night in it. Thanks RTR!

I ordered a 6L and an 8L. I think they sent a 6R because I put it on, the size was perfect but the length was disappointing as you could see my entire shoe, the dress was nowhere near the ground. The 8L was a bit big but I still wore it because I couldn't wear the high-water dress.  Overall it's beautiful, I wore tights because it was a little chilly, but didn't wear spanks. Loved that I could wear a normal bra. 

The fit was perfect.  However, I am a true size 12.  I am 5'8", so I was worried that a "L" may not be long enough with heels.  But it worked out wonderfully.  I will definitely rent again!

The dress fit absolutely perfect, the sequins under the arm were a little bit uncomfortable and irritating. But overall it was super comfortable and a flattering fit

Love the dress. After reading all the comments of how short it was I went with a 6 long and it fit perfect with my 3 inch heals. The dress was very comfortable and flattering at the same time. I will be using rent the runway for all my formal events. 

Fits exactly as described by others.  I'm 5'6" and in 2 1/2 heels it barely touched the top of my foot. I did wear a regular brA which was great and just control top hose. Would definitely rent again

I'm trying to find a good picture for this dress, everything I've found is just from my chest up. Overall I was happy with how the dress fit, but it did seem to run a little big. I'm typically around a 2/4 and easily could have fit in the 0 I think. I rented the 2L and 4R as that is all that was available. I didn't even try on the 4 since the 2 was a bit loose. Also, if you're at all tall I would definitely recommend the long size. I'm 5'8" and with barely 2" heels the dress was just skimming the ground.

update: photos added! Sorry about the glowsticks... Ke$ha and Snoop Dogg/ Lion were there

I wore this dress to a friend's black tie, New Years Eve wedding.  I wanted something elegant and formal, that wouldn't be constrictive on the dance floor or uncomfortable to wear for 8 hours (the time between the ceremony and the end of the night).  PROS: The pinched midsection and low neckline accentuated my figure in just the right places.  The fabric was totally forgiving and the cutouts at the waist added just a bit of sparkle.  CONS: While the length of the 6L was glamorous in theory, the mini-train was hard to manage in 4 inch heels.  I was also doused by a falling glass of champagne around midnight (not my own, thank god), which unfortunately made the fabric of the dress smell TERRIBLE and sulfuric (think: rotten eggs, marsh at low tide).  It must have been a reaction between the alcohol and dry cleaning chemicals ... not a fault of RTR, but a word of caution to be careful around liquids!  All in all, a great first RTR experience and an unforgettable night :)

This was actually my back up dress but fit me perfectly.  It's also really comfortable which was perfect for dancing all night at a wedding.  It just barely reached the ground so might be too short on taller people.

I would order the long.  I am 5'6 and I wish the dress would have been a little longer.  But the overall fit was perfect and lots of compliments.

This was actually my back-up dress but it was so beautiful I had to wear it.   The pictures do not do it justice.  It is flattering, SO comfortable and the sequin accent is perfect.  I'm very glad that I got the long because the length was perfect with 3" heels. 

I loved wearing this dress.  It was the most comfortable I have ever been in a formal gown.  It was extremely flattering from all angles.  I am 5’2 and I wore five inch platforms, and the 6R was the perfect length, not dragging on the ground at all.  I loved the whole rent the runway experience.  Easy, fast and way more reasonably priced than buying and altering even an inexpensive gown.  This is a wonderful option for military wives or girlfriends who attend lots of formal events. 

I loved the dress.  Usually wear a size 4 but with the heels it was way to short.   Fortunately I ordered a second size in a 6 long.  It was perfect with my 4 inch heels.  Would definitely use this service again.  Thank you

It fit perfectly and I was very satisifed with the outcome!

I'm 5'9" and unfortunately there was no 4L available so I wore the 4R which was a little short, even in flats, but not a deal breaker. I got the 2L also which was the right length but just a little to clingy around my hips. I have a hard time finding dresses that flatter my chest and body (I'm a 34D, but I don't have much of a butt or hips) but this dress was perfect. The V was flattering, but not too revealing and I never felt like I was going to fall out. I could also wear a normal bra and there was no tape!!! I really loved wearing this dress and will probably rent it again!

I wore this to a black tie event. I loved that I could wear a bra with this dress and didn't need to pull at a strapless bra all night.  The mermaid bottom accentuated my backside, and with 3 inch heels made me look super tall and lean.  I loved the whole RTR experience, and appreciate that they got my dresses to me on time despite Hurricane Sandy.  I would definitely do it again!  (Note, pay attention to  the guidelines for ordering a regular versus long.  I was mistakenly sent a Regular in another style, and it was way too short.  Kudos to RTR's excellent customer service for refunding me the rental fee on that dress!)
