I wore this to a fancy gala and it was perfect. The size 6 zipper was stuck, but luckily, the size 8 fit just as well. I got tons of compliments and I was comfortable all night long. 

Dress fit beautifully. I am usually between a 4 and 6. The six fit great and I could not have gone smaller. I'm 5'7" and 129. I initially wanted the long version but the regular worked out great as I was working and on my feet most of the night so wore a lower heel than I would have normally. As others have noted, I ordered an inexpensive petticoat from Amazon to add some volume. LOVED THE POCKETS!!

Thank you #RentTheRunway and #Slateandwillow Beautiful dress, beautiful fit, and my favorite thing on any formal dress...pockets! Would wear it again in a heartbeat! 

I rented a 0 and 2, the 0 fit great! It was long, but I had it tacked up. I wore it to a Gala with my son. It is a really Beautiful dress! This was my first time to use RTR. I will definitely use them again. 

Beautiful gown & very comfortable. It runs small so I wore my back up size. Major plus for having pockets! The length was perfect, & I even wore flats. I did not need to wear a bra which is another plus. 

gorgeous wore it for prom and a gala very comfy and stunning
also easy to put on

This dress was stunning! Fit perfectly and definitely turned heads. I rented both the 4R and the 2P and ended up wearing the 2P because the length and size was better for me. Very comfortable as well. The only issue I had - with both dresses - was how hard the dress was to zip up.

I loved this gown! Wore it to the symphony and it was amazing. It was a little big up top (I'm a 34C) but perfect at the waist (30 inches) and the length was just right (I'm 5'8" and wore flats). I want to keep this one forever!!

This dress got so many compliments. The pockets and the one shoulder were a hit. My two complaints are that the zipper is so hard to close. I had to have my husband and his mom zip me in. Also the bodice is wayyy tighter than it looks. Size up when possible or you will not be breathing. 

Wore this to emcee a charity event. It was perfect with no need to worry about anything showing through (no need for shapers) and looked amazing under the lights. And it has pockets which was SO useful. 

I am normally a petite but those were not available in this dress.  I wore the 0R and hem taped the bottom.  Voila’!   It was still a little long but very workable.  

Dress was comfy and functional with its pockets and even then, this didn't take away from its beauty! I got so many compliments and was even named best dressed. LOVE this dress!

I ended up sizing up for this dress so that I could wear a bra and feel a little more comfortable with that. The pockets make the dress! I wore 2 inch heels and the length was perfect. 

So many compliments on this dress! It fit perfectly, though it was a bit long.

This is an INCREDIBLE dress. Absolutely the most comfortable dress I've ever worn that ALSO made me look amazing. I wore this to a red-carmet themed event and got positive compliments all night long. The zipper was tricky and I would could have gone a size up and had no problem. I'm 5'7 / 135 and it was a tad tight. The pockets were my favorite feature. Was able to keep my phone and lipstick on me all night with no issues. I rented the Slate & Willow crystal pearl earrings and they looked fabulous with the dress. Definitely had to wear heels, but they only had the long available when I went to rent so I got it anyway. You'll love this dress!

I felt amazing in this dress! It fit perfectly. I didn't totally fill out the bust (which is typical for me), but you couldn't tell at all, due to the fabric and slight ruching on the chest. My 3-inch heels were just enough to keep me from stepping on the dress, but it did reach the floor. I loved the pockets, and it was very comfortable to dance in. This dress was an A+!

This dress was my backup dress so while mildly disappointed, the dress is beautiful! It's a little loose in the bust, but once I add in a strapless bra I think with be alright. It's also a bit tight in the hips and looser in the rib cage, but that may just also be my body. Not as heavy as I thought it would be! It's lightweight, has pockets which is a huge plus, and it's not too long. I don't plan on wearing heels and at just under 5'3" there isn't too much fabric dragging. Overall pretty happy! Only major con: the zipper is really hard to zip up. Zipping down is fine and it doesn't seem to be catching on anything in particular, but I'm guessing it's just from overuse.

I CHOSE THE 2L AND IT WAS PERFECT.  IT FIT LIKE A GLOVE IN THAT IT WAS SUPER COMFORTABLE TO WEAR ALL NIGHT LONG.  AS IN THE OTHER REVIEWS, THE ZIPPER IS TRICKY, BUT DOABLE WITH TEAM EFFORT.  THE LENGTH WAS PERFECT WITH HEELS, GRAZING THE FLOOR BUT EASY TO MOVE AND WALK WITH NO ISSUE.  THIS DRESS HAS POCKETS WHICH WAS ALSO FUN.  I TRULY FELT SO SPECIAL WEARING IT, ONLY TO BE TOPPED BY RECEIVING COMPLIMENTS ALL NIGHT LONG!  I WOULD RENT THIS DRESS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, EXCEPT I LOVED MY BACKUP DRESS TOO!!  WITHOUT A DOUBT THIS DRESS WAS A STUNNER AND ABSOLUTELY MADE ME FEEL THE RED CARPET GLAM OF OUR EVENT.  I WOULD HAVE WORN THIS DRESS FOR A WEEK IF I COULD HAVE, AND FELT LIKE CINDERELLA PACKING IT UP TO SEND BACK.  

I loved this Beautiful dress. Wore to a holiday formal. Received tons of compliments on it. Pockets are perfect add. Very comfortable too all night. 

Overall a great choice for formal events. Great material. 

It was a little long on me even though I wore heals, but other then that it fit great. 

The fit was great. One con may be the zipper is difficult. 
Lots of compliments. I am more than happy with my decision to rent this 

I loved this dress! I received compliments all night and felt like the belle of the ball. It is very comfortable and easy to wear. The wide skirt is perfect for my pair shape and it hid all of my flaws. Loved it!

This dress is gorgeous. Even  better than the pictures show.  The Boston Globe fashion reporter even took photos to put in the paper. This dress is truly a stunner. 

The fit was perfect! I am 5'7" and the long was great...I like it to skim the ground! Will rent again!!

Stunning dress. Like most RTR dresses we’ve gotten so far, the zipper was tough but once we figured it out, it was fine. 

Yes,  clearly this dress is beautiful. But what you can't see in pictures is how comfortable it is. No need for a bra, and no need to try to make my tummy look flat all night. 

Fits great.  Very comfortable.  And as you can see by the photos, a lot of fun to pose and dance in.  

Im 5'1 so it was alittle long but it set perfectly if you like your gown to have some length to it. I didnt wezr heels so it will probably be fine if you wear heels. It dodnt need any steaming either. It was snug at the breast but i have 32DD. Over all it was a grezt choice 

It is VERY long. Even with three inch heels and yards of hem tape, I was tripping over it all night. I wore it with sparkly drop earring and no other jewelry, with my hair pulled back into a side twist. It is snug on the waist; I needed help zipping it but it was comfortable all night long.

The fit was perfect. It was a bit long, but I ordered it that way. The extra length really helped with the dramatics of the dress.

I am so tall so it is nice that is was long and it also looks great in black and white photos!

I'm 6' tall and the dress was long enough (I wore dressy flats), the waist was slightly higher than it should have been but it didn't take away from the look.  

I ordered the regular lenght based on reviews.  I'm 5'8" and wore 2" heels and the dress went just to the floor so you really could not see my shoes, maybe just a hint of my toes.    I'm big boned up top, wide rib cage and the top fit perfectly.  I didn't have to wear a bra, but I'm an A cup.  The zipper is a little tough so have patience!

Perfect fit, lightweight, love the pockets. Wore it for a Quinceanera and it was just stunning. Everyone complimented the dress and the style. Very happy with my choice. 

I felt like a million bucks in this dress. I am 5'4" and usually wear a size 8.  The 8R fit well and I wore 3" heels. The dress was about 3/4" too long, so at certain points while walking, I needed to pick up the front in order not to trip. The top and waist fit well and I had no problems getting it on and off.  My husband did help me zip it up.  I had many compliments about the dress from friends and strangers at the party. 


The dress has pockets and is a little tight under the zipper. I didn't wear a bra and used pasties and it fit fine. The one shoulder did kept sliding down so I had to be mindful not to flash to much side boob. I am a natural D cup. 

This was such a beautiful dress. I wore this to my senior prom and the compliments were nonstop! I looked and felt like a princess. True to size, absolutely beautiful in person. I'm 5'1 and I wore size 4R with 5 in heels. And although it was still a little long, I didn't mind picking it up a little when I walked. Just like the other reviewers, the zipper is a bit difficult, but it's not impossible. I wish I could've kept this dress; it made my night unforgettable. 

Loved this dress so much I rented in multiple colors for two different occasions! I’m 6’ and it was the perfect length for a formal wedding…plus it has pockets!! 

I loved this dress. I am 5'4" and was very happy to be able to wear the 10R with flats and dance the night away at the black tie wedding I attended. The dress was a little tough to zip up at waist, but with the help of my husband we managed it. Maybe the 12 would have worked a little better but it did fit everywhere else. Having the pockets was of course a bonus, and the fuller skirt was a nice shape. 

I wore this to a masquerade gala for work and it was a standout! But the 6 was a little snug around my rib cage (buckling my shoes and driving I definitely felt constricted). I would have probably been super comfortable standing AND sitting in an 8. The pockets are clutch! They are deep enough to hold a phone, cheaters and lipstick! I would absolutely get this dress again, but in a 6 and 8, not the 4.

Loved this dress. I’m 5’1, 1/4” so it was really long. I’m 128 pounds with an athletic build. I wear a medium Athleta sports bra so my rib cage area is slightly larger than “normal” for my height and weight ~36”. So keep that in mind when sizing. I always wear a 4 maybe a 6 but with formal gowns I guess that doesn’t matter. So thankful I got the 8 even though the # made me cringe. I wore a poofy slip under this dress that helped raise the length and then I used removable hem tape (NOT iron on) and just tucked in a few places around the bottom. It was super easy to get off. Anyways, I felt like a Princess in this dress for an American heart association fundraiser. I loved it. And because it was so long I wore tennis shoes underneath it! No one knew and my feet felt fabulous the next day! Win win! Love this dress! AND IT HAS POCKETS!!

fabric wasn’t as dramatic as I’d hoped, ended up going with another dress but still really liked this one 

It fit perfectly, was comfortable and has pockets! Received so many compliments.

This dress is gorgeous!! I usually wear a 4L in RTR dresses, but I had to wear the 6L in this dress. There’s no give in the fabric and the zipper is tight going up the sides over the ribs/chest. The length was perfect (I’m 5’6” and wore heels). I got lots of compliments on this dress. 

I wore this dress to a wedding as a guest and received tons of compliments. I ended up wearing the 2P because the 0R was too small. This dress was not made for short people though. I am 4’11, wore 6 inch heels and still needed temporary hem tape to hem about 2.5 inches of the dress. Despite the length, I felt classy and beautiful in this dress and would rent this again in a heartbeat. 

Beautiful and very comfortable. This dress was very flattering and fun to wear. Fabric is heavy but not a drawback

I wore this for a charity gala and felt amazing in it all night. It definitely runs small. I'm usually a four and the six barely zipped. At 5'2" I was also way too short for the regular length but some hem tape solved that problem and held up all night. Would definitely recommend! 

I'd recommend wearing a kitten heel or a flat. The 6L was not floor length. I am 5'8". Beautiful dress overall.

And the stress felt great and I didn't have to wear a bra. I did order a $20 Amazon petticoat to go under it to help fill the volume on the bottom. That also helped take up the length a little bit because the dress was a tad long on me with 2inch platform shoes
