I really enjoyed wearing this dress! It was perfect for a work event that was happening right around the holidays. I'm pretty short (5 ft) and the dress hit a few inches above my knees, which is awesome, because usually dresses that are meant to be a bit shorter are nearly floor length on me (haha). It's nice to balance a conservative top with a shorter length, so I'm glad it wasn't too long on me. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4, I went with the 2 and found that it fit me perfectly, not too snug, not too loose. I wore this with some tights and black booties to give it a little bit more of a festive holiday look. The only major downside with this dress was that it is two pieces, a slip, and then the lace dress that goes over the slip. I found that the slip kept awkwardly shifting throughout the night, and I didn't really notice until I would go look in a mirror and see that it wasn't centered on my body any more... it just kind of moved however it wanted to. Nothing too bad, just made for a little bit of an "uneven" look if I wasn't paying attention to it. Other than the slip shifting, there were a few (very minor) flaws in the dress. The lace had a tiny hole in the front, and some areas were unraveling, just very minor though. Someone else on here mentioned that the arms were snug... I would definitely keep that in mind, this lace is not very stretchy at all. However, if you have smaller arms, you'll be fine. Overall, I enjoyed this dress, I thought it was a perfect winter dress for a formal event!

I LOVED this dress and would definitely rent again! The sleeves make this a pretty and comfortable winter option, without being TOO covered up. Perfect for weddings and formal affairs. I’m 5’2” 135 lbs and I felt the size 6 fit nicely. Even though it hangs straight, I felt slimmer (and sexy!) in this dress. I wish I could keep it!

Dress is true to size. Only thing is the lace is stiff so not much give in that. Broad arms you may need to size up. Dress was very flattering and i received a lot of compliments. 

This dress was so beautiful and the fabric was very rich. It was so forgiving and the lines laid perfectly on places I wanted to hide, but was so flattering to my long legs. I ordered the size 6 and 8 after reading the reviews that recommended sizing up and I'm glad I did. The size 6 was too tight on my arms. The size 8 was perfect and fit loosely around my mid-section so I didn't have to worry about hiding anything.  I got tons of compliments on how gorgeous it was. It was soft and warm on a cold night. I highly recommend this dress and I'll probably rent it again. Get $30 off your first order and I'll get $30 when it ships, if you use my referral code: https://rtr.app.link/e/DTWp2fxmbU.

This was my first time using Rent The Runway and it was a great experience.  I loved this dress!  I wore it to a wedding and it made me feel great.  I normally wear a 2 but wanted a slightly tighter fit, so I went with the size 0.  The slip for the 0 was too short so I actually wore the size 2 slip with the 0 dress and it worked out really well.  The sleeves felt snug at first but I got used to them quickly and they weren't uncomfortable.  Overall, great dress and great experience.  

I have rented this for a wedding and then rented it a second time for a work Christmas party! I usually wear a 0 or 2 and I went with the 0 because it was a little more flattering. I love this dress! 

This dress worked perfectly for a winter wedding! It was a little loose on me, which I didn't mind for the most part, but the arms could have been a little tighter. The length was perfect and I loved the fabric and design. I would definitely rent it again!

I wore this to my office holiday party with nude hose and burgundy heels. I got a lot of compliments. Great for an office environment as it is conservative up top which balances out the slightly shorter hemline.  It was very comfortable. The sleeves are a little snug but didn't bother me. I would rent this again! 

Color was great for after thanksgiving wedding.  Loved the long sleeves.  The fit was nice, I ordered a 4 and a 6, but was sent 2 size 6. It actually fit nicely and gave me a little room to move in on the dance floor!

Dress fit true to size-I usually wear a 0. However the 0 was too short for my liking so I ended up wearing the 2 which wasn't as snug and added just the right amount of length.  Dress is two pieces (a slip and the lace overlay) but it didn't cause much of a problem for me but I think the looser fit helped with that as well.  Overall perfect for a fall/winter party. 

Thick material made dress classy. Short, but not too short. Only negative... was a bit hard to get hands thru dress sleeves at wrist. 

 I paid $35 for this rental, had I paid the listed price of $75 I would have been disappointed. 

I'm glad I got both sizes so I wore a 2 for the slip and a 4 for the lace part as I wanted it a little loose so I could move and dance. The lace overlay was a bit stiff. 

I ordered a size 2 and 4 and was concerned because the reviews talked about the tight fitting arms but the 2 fit perfectly with no problems! The lace is a high quality thicker detail than other more delicate lace fabrics. Great dress!

I really liked the color and design of this dress. It’s great for a fall or winter wedding. It runs a bit short for my liking though and if I wasn’t wearing tights I probably wouldn’t have worn it. It’s also tight in the arms with no give. The neckline of the dress rubs up against your collarbone and there is no way of pulling the dress down to stop it from rubbing. The size 4 was a bit better in the arms and neckline but it hung too lose on my body and it gave me no shape so I went with the 2

The fit was ok, a little baggy in the elbows and tight in the wrists. It is not 100% form fitting, so be prepared for that. Also, it is 2 pieces: a slip and the lace dress. I got a ton of compliments, and it looked great however it was not exactly what I was envisioning. 

I wore this dress for my engagement photos and it was beautiful! I ordered both the 0 and the 2. While the 0 fit, I wanted the dress to be a bit roomier for the occasion, so I ended up wearing the 2. The dress photographs so well. I just wish I could have kept it! 

The fit was a little loose in the stomach, but with it being lace, only I noticed. I ordered the 2, which was too big, and wore the 0 (my back up) which fit great! the sleeve and hem length were perfect. The color looked just like the picture and my boyfriend I got lots of compliments on the color scheme we picked. For sizing reference: I am 5'2, 115lbs, with a muscular body type, and A cup bust. 

Great fit and received lots of compliments
