This dress was classic but not boring; the crepe bow and slit added interest and the heavy material made it feel comfortable and luxe. 

This was my first RTR experience, and I was absolutely thrilled. I was anxious about sizing, but having two options was really nice. The dress itself was amazing! It was great quality, comfortable, gorgeous. I received many compliments all night. It also photographed really well. 

I'm a size 6 in dresses and pants, the dress fit perfect in waist, but a bit tight in the bust. Went up a size for comfort. Dress is made of a stretchy material(not jersey knit) it was perfect to dance in.. Slit wasn't to high and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels..Loved the bow, it made a black dress unique.. I received a lot of compliments and people were impressed it was a rental..

This is a beautiful dress and the bow adds just the right amount of drama without being gaudy, you just need a pair of statement earrings for a great look! The fabric is heavy so it covers a multitude of sins but it does run a bit small, luckily my backup size was the larger one! It's also tricky to get into so you may want to have help. I broke my leg 3 weeks before this event so I rented this dress to direct attention upwards away from the knee scooter I had to use and because of the slit in front so I could sweep the skirt off my knee and not have it bunch up. Worked beautifully and everyone was impressed I looked so elegant while rocking a leg cast!! Would definately rent this dress again, hopefully next time with two working legs!

Loved this dress from the moment I put it on! Super flattering and comfortable. I could fit into both sizes but decided the 8 laid a little bit better up top. I have broad shoulders and ribs for my size so the 8 was more comfortable. If you want to show off your hour glass figure and still be able to dance, this is the dress. 

Fit great.  Received lots of compliments and when I told people I rented it, they wanted to check out rent the runway.

I am normally a 6 and the 6 fit very well. No need for a bra. Slit is just right. 

Love this gown!  It was very elegant and classic! The perfect gown for a black tie affair! 

The stamp was supposed to be over my shoulder but I decided to wear it off shoulder.

Very flattering- had a little room in it but great dress!

I ordered a 4R and a 6P.   I could have worn both but the 6P was a little short and I liked that the 4 sucked me in a little more.  I do think it runs large though as I'm a true 6. The petite length would have been good if I wore shorter heels but with 4 in heels it was about 2in off the ground and it looked weird.  Otherwise, a very comfortable dress.  Has a little stretch and moves with you. 

Had to wear a strapless bra as I didn't quite fill the top. Had to size down so it would fit my waist/chest. Ordered the longer length, it was perfect with 3" heels (I'm 5'5). Great silhouette, loved the shoulder detail but did have to pull it up a lot.  

Really pretty and nice details like the ruffle shoulder and slit to make this black gown more fun

I received so many compliments about this dress. So many people wanted to know where I got such a glam dress. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the bow piece on the shoulder flops down when it should be a bit more structured to stay up. Otherwise loved it!

Comfortable, dragged a little bit, but was great to wear for a full evening 

Easy dress that looks great in photos and is comfortable to wear. I'm typically a 6 but the 8 fit best in the bust as the 6 produced arm pit fat and uni-boob. Best part is I didn't have to wear a bra; the dress never moved and still looked great. The zipper is tricky and you will think it is too small but it fits. You just have to hook the eye at the top and shift your boobs to the other side before you zip. Plenty of room. I was worried the bow would be obnoxiously big, but it was barely noticeable while wearing it. The only con was a separation of the seam in the hip that I had to sew up a bit to last the night. #masquerade #nospanx #nobra #classy

I loved this dress! Felt like a glamorous princess the entire night and received so many compliments. I ordered the 12 and 10 but chose to wear the 12 for comfort. The length was a little long but I'm only 5'4". I could easily dance the night away in this dress. Very comfortable. 

Love the fit! Wore this for my engagement photos. Looked and felt like a million bucks!! 

The fit was true to size. Loved the length. 

Beautiful and comfortable dress. Compliments all night. Small in the bust, but that's typical for me! Loved it. 

Great dress! I wore this to a fundraiser gala and received a lot of compliments. Loved the one shoulder, and it was actually pretty comfortable for a gown. Fit TTS! 

The shoulder detail didn't lay quite as pretty on me as it looked in the photo.  It was good, but not great. Overall the heavy material was great for hiding, well, everything.  Extra points for that.  I had a little issue with the boning in the upper rib area.  I eventually went back to my room and covered the edge with tissue to give some cover to where it was digging in.  It was reasonably comfortable otherwise.

I LOVED this dress and received many compliments on it! It fit true to size, was so comfy and a nice material that didn't bunch up or slouch down. It has a great built in bra and we danced all evening with no issues. I am about 5'5-5'6 and the 8R was the perfect length with 2in heels. The slit is really nice and doesn't come up too high. Con: My only complaint for this dress and the only reason I didn't give it 5stars is because the plastic 'wires' around the bust area were coming through the material and poking me. They are very sharp and I had to apply a bandaid to them to keep them from digging into my skin. I loved this experience and am planning on using RTR again in the future!
