I rented this dress for a glamour photo shoot. It was a really cute little black dress. Would definitely rent again. It didn't really hug my figure the way the other gown did, but it was still a lovely dress and so glad I brought it as my second look.

Elegant dress. I was hoping for a 10, but they only had an 8. It fit, but was a bit snug. I liked the dress, but I found it a bit shorter than I prefer. 

This was a stylists pick as my second choice wasn’t available and so glad they added this!  I skipped by it when browsing, but when my first choice didn’t fit, was so thrilled with this dress.  It’s way prettier than in the pictures. Fit beautifully around the shoulders and waist. Skirt is full to be flattering. The chest was a tad large, probably could have gone down a size. Would definitely rent this again! 

Pros: SUPER comfortable. I danced ALL night, had a blast, and was never once uncomfortable. I got a ton of compliments and this was my second wedding with a lot of these folks. Some came right out asking "is this rent the runway?" "of course!" "Oh I really need to try that". Happy I got both sizes. Wore the 2 over the 4. I always get the 4 just in case it runs a tad small and I want to go up a size.

Cons: If you have athletic shoulders the side sleeves might feel a bit tight. They were just perfect on my arms, but I'm glad I had the 2 sizes to compare. I still wore the 2 instead of the 4. The 4 was WAY too big.

I really liked this dress! I didn't realize it was a dark navy from the pictures, but it still worked perfectly for my event. I wore it with gold sandals and a gold purse. I usually rent a 12 or 14 and this dress only came in sizes up to 12. It was snug, but it was fine for the few hour event I wore it to. I would have sized up if I could have. If you are between sizes, I would size up. I liked the flowy skirt, the off the shoulder straps and the lace neck detailing was lovely. 

The fit was great and I felt comfortable ... didn't need Spanx, could wear a strapless bra easily, etc. I wore it for NYE and dancing. I was able to dance fine and although it has the arm straps, I could even play darts. Loved this dress. It is a dark navy but much more on the black side than navy. My husband wore his black suit to complement my dress, because his navy suit didn't look as good with it. Highly recommend this dress!

I rented the 6 and 8 and ended up wearing the 6. It fit perfectly!

I wore the dress for a holiday work event. The fit was admittedly a little odd and/or just not made for me...the size two was tight in the chest (think sports bra status), but the size four was roomy enough that the material gathered in several small but, still, unsightly bunches. I wore a very padded push-up bra- and yes, by padded I mean I put two extra removable bathing suit top pads inside my bra- underneath the size four and it got rid of the bunching and looked fine (I'm a 34C in the bust). It wasn't a proud moment, but hey, it worked in a pinch. The dress was very comfortable, and the length was good. However, it might not have worked great for dancing because the off-the shoulder detail does not stay on the shoulder, but goes over the shoulder, if you lift your arms up too much. The details are elegant and the fabric/navy blue color are nice as well. Overall, a good rental. Only caveats are that I probably would not recommend it for a pear-shaped person, based on the top sizing I described earlier, and I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be showstopper. It's a very classy dress, but in an understated way. If it had been an event where I really want to stand out and feel like a knock-out, I probably would have looked into a replacement dress. 

This was the back up to my back up dress - one I chose at the last minute to be overnighted when my original AND just-in-case styles arrived and didn't fit!  I ended up so happy with it.  I wore it to a formal holiday party and was able to dance the night away and still have enough room to eat all the yummy party hors d'oeuvres without the dress being too tight.  I think it's more flattering in person than the photo on the website shows!    

I wore this for an awards dinner for work and felt so great in it!! I have bigger hips so the flowy skirt was great.  It was a little big but was great since it was for work.  If it was for personal I may have sized down.  I got a ton of compliments and it felt great to wear something different and fun.  I would rent again for sure. 

Dress fit exactly to size, and I was even able to wear a black bra (racer back style straps), that blended perfectly with the lace. I'm 4'11"", so it was knee length on me, but lovely overall. Highly recommend for anything from a wedding to a work party to a date night! I wore it for thanksgiving and got compliments all around. The picture is terrible, as I didn't take many photos, but the dress is very flattering an cinches the waist right in. I have 36DDD chest, and it was comfortable. 

Beautiful dress, loved the lace on the neck area. No jewelry needed. Flows nicely at the bottom. 

Great dress. I wore it to a professional awards dinner. It was fun, elegant and professional. The lace collar added a nice detail. It was also really comfortable. A colleague said it's the little black dress that everyone should have. 

Perfect dress to eat and dance in. So comfortable and flattering.

Love the dress it was a great fit for a night out fit well very comfortable so comfortable also

I wore this for a company holiday party and absolutely loved it. The dress was comfortable and the fit was great and the lace detail at the top was so pretty.

I rented this for a holiday party and got so many compliments! It's very comfortable and the off the shoulder detail wasn't cumbersome at all. I originally thought it was black when i rented it but it's actually navy blue. 

This dress fit perfectly and was the right amount of conservative covering and trendy looks! I liked that it showed off my curves without showing my stomach pooch. It did run small so I went with a size 10, and usually wear an 8

I wear 0 or 2 for dresses, and the 0 was more flattering and fit to my waistline so I wore that one! Very happy that the dress wasn't too short. The shoulder straps were on the tighter side for me (both the 0 and 2) and would ride up, but they at least weren't uncomfortable or painful at all.  Got a lot of compliments in this dress (: Wish I could keep it.

I needed a last minute dress for a fundraiser dinner. I didn't want black and needed something that wasn't over-the-top formal but also not casual. This dress was perfect. The cut was amazing, the detail was perfectly subdued and the dress was beyond comfortable. I need to add this to my collection!
