I wore the stress to receive an award and had the privilege of being comfortable all night, long and looking stylish. 

I rented this gown for a formal event and was disappointed by two main issues. First, the color was noticeably different from what was shown online—it appeared as a vibrant yellow on the website but arrived in a dull, mustard tone that altered the entire look I had planned. Second, the gown was much longer than expected—even with 10 cm (4-inch) heels, it still dragged on the floor. While the design is elegant, the color discrepancy and excessive length made it difficult to wear with confidence. I hope Rent the Runway updates the product photos and sizing guidance to better reflect the actual item.

A little snug around my chest, but I think the rest of the dress fit fine! Maybe a little tighter than intended. Order TTS for that shift dress look. I love the contrast of the yellow against the black velvet! This dress feels like the perfect blend of classic and modern. 

Wore this to a black tie optional wedding and received tons of compliments. Velvet/satin contrast was elegant and the fabric felt good. Was 5 months pregnant and had great movement in the dress while not feeling like I was in a tent. Also wore 3.5” heels and the length was still flattering.
