The dress fit perfect. I am 5'6" and I rented a 2R. I was worried that it was going to be too short but it was perfect. The dress was not loose and it was not too tight where i was not able to move neither, it fit perfect. I got compliments all night long.

I loved this dress!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this to my sororities formal. I loved the dress. It fit great. It was a little loose in the waist area but I usually have that problem with dresses. It was also a little too short with my heels, they were about 4 inches. The material wasn't what I expected but it worked out great and I got a lot of compliments. Overall I loved the dress and I am very glad I rented it!

This dress was awesome. My most comfortable formal ever!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I didn't have to "re-adjust" myself the whole night. The fabric is light and comfortable, I love the detail and got lots of compliments. It was hard to tell in the online photo but there is one seamline right at the waist that makes it very flattering. I also love that I this dress made me feel tall(er) I selected true to size because the size details say to size up, I got two sizes. My size and one smaller and the smaller fit.

Working with Rent the Runway was so easy and a great deal!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered the 2R and the 0R. I wore the 2R but the 0R fit as well, it was just a bit too snug for my liking. I am 5'2" and I wore 3 inch heels. The dress would be too short to wear any taller of a shoe. I have a very small bust and this dress was great for that. The top was a little baggy on me but looked great. I didn't wear anything underneath, not even pasties. It was comfortable for an evening gown and I got tons of compliments.

I ordered this dress as well as another for last minute prom options. It came the day of prom at 4pm which was a friday, and I ordered on the Wednesday of the same week. The dress fit well, I was recovering from an illness so it was a bit loose at the top, but it fit everywhere else. I loved it, and it was perfect for being a last minute dress

If you have a formal event this is an awesome choice. The dress fits pretty true to size & the fabric is light and didn't restrict from dancing! I was worried that the bottom may have dragged on the floor but with 4-5 inch heels you're solid. LOVED it, got tons of compliments on it --overall two thumbs up!

RTR never fails to impress! I received so many compliments about the dress; it felt amazing!
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress to a black-tie wedding and it was a hit! The fabric is textured and looks awesome in photos. The color and length are perfectly appropriate for a black-tie wedding yet the ruffles and open back add a level of funk. I ordered the dress in a 4R and 4L; based on previous reviews, I anticipated that the R would be short when wearing heels. I was right! My intention was to wear heels for the first couple of hours then switch to flip-flops (hey, I like to dance!) I tried on both sizes and wouldn't have been able to wear ANY heels with the R without the dress looking too short. I wore the L and was able to wear 3 -inch heels without the dress dragging. In fact, I put on my flip-flops and the dress was still above the floor. The one drawback the prevented me from giving the dress 5 stars was that it arrived with some loose threads and a torn hem on the inside slip. In addition, the size-zipper kept shifting around, ending up in front. I found myself readjusting the dress throughout the night, which was a bit of a pain. Overall, the dress was fabulous- I received many compliments and the style was perfect! I felt fancy yet funky. Definitely a winner.

I can't say enough about this dress! It's a head turner and just stunning! I didn't want to send it back. It runs short so take that into consideration. Other than that, perfect!

not flattering on me
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
my waist is not my smallest part, so this dress did not flatter me. i ended up wearing another one i rented. i liked the light weight material of this one, but i'd say its suited for girls with a slender waist. i'm 5'3 and wear a size 2, and it didn't look right on me

awesome dress
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was one of two I rented for a 60s-themed formal. I ended up wearing the other one as being more theme-appropriate, but I LOVED this dress. It was forgiving in the bust and the hips (0R was the right size for me), the fabric felt amazing, and it was kicky and sexy. I would totally rent this dress in the future.

Perfect dress for formal event
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Dress came in 4R and 2L, no other sizes available at the time. As other reviewers mention the dress definitely runs short. Luckily my back up size saved the day. The 2L fit perfectly. This dress is very photo-friendly and looks great on a lot of body types. Very comfortable the entire night. The ruffle detail at the chest and down the back give it a little something extra. This dress got me through my first Inaugurational Ball, thank you RTR.

Rented this as my back-up. They did not have any 4 or 6's but due to the comments I thought an 8 may work. It did not, it was huge. Pretty dress, true to size. Luckily this was my back-up dress. Will rent again soon!

8R too small, 10R too big...
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. I really wanted to wear it for a formal work event. Sadly, the top fit on the 8R but was a bit snug through the hips, but the 10R was way too big. It was very pretty though. The fabric is a light flowy material.

Nice, simple dress that is conservative enough for a business affair.
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress fit well. However, it runs short. I'm 5'8" tall and this event had a "flat shoe" theme. I ordered a regular so I could wear the dress with flats. It was still a little too short. It worked out fine but I should have ordered a long.

This dress was amazing, except I am 5'4'' and I like my dresses to skim the ground. This dress was the perfect length when I was barefoot, and I didn't like how it looked even with 2.5 inch heels on. :(

A little shorter than I would have liked
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I got this dress in the 4R because 4L was not available for the date I needed. I thought it would be fine because of some of the other reviews. I am 5'5" and wore 3.5" heels. The dress was about 2" shorter than I would have liked (the dress did not cover my toes or the tops of my feet), but it worked out fine because I did not have to worry about it dragging on the floor and someone stepping on it. Other than the minor issue with the length, I loved this dress. I probably could have fit into the 2, but the 4 was very comfortable and not constricting at all. I would rent it again if I could get the 4L.

this is one of my favorite long black dresses, the ruffles down the back of it make your body flow with each step you take. The added flutter around your neck makes you feel very regal. My favorite was the snake like pattern, much better than just a flat fabric. It was gorgeous! AND THANK YOU for the earlier shipping, I panicked when I saw that storm headed towards NY!

FABULOUS!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was the perfect fit. I was worried it might be too long (I'm only 5'2") but actually it was great once I put my heels on. The flowy accent pieces make it really feminine, but the high neckline gives it a hint of high fashion appeal. I wore it to a charity event for a regional theater in Tampa. The theme was the Adams' Family, so this dress was perfect as it reminds me a bit of Morticia.

This dress was amazing. I felt so special in it and the fabric is to die for. I didn't notice the pattern in the fabric until I received it in the mail and it was great. I loved the open back too. The only downside is the length. I ordered a long based on other reviews and i'm glad I did. I wore 2 inch heels and had I worn anything taller it would have been too short.

Great Dress
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
First time using RTR and very pleased! Dresses (chosen size + backup) arrived on time and were packaged properly. 0R fit perfectly (grazed the floor) with 4 inch heels. I had no problems with the halter as others mentioned. Did not wear a bra but was perfectly fine as the fit was snug enough to prevent any mishaps. Dress was in great condition, no missing clasps or tears. Would definitely recommend RTR!

Rented this dress for black tie wedding. It was pretty but not what I had imagined. It did not help that someone was wearing the same dress as me!!! I think since I am short and petite it did not fit perfectly on the top. It seemed a little baggy on me and did not lay right. Loved the ruffles!

This was an easy, safe black dress but I felt the quality was a little low. I did appreciate however that the length was perfect for being 5'1" in 4 inch heels. The 0 was too short.

Lovely, but...
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
As other reviews have noted, the fabric is nicer than it appears in pictures. It is very delicate and silky. Tall girls, however, beware. I am 5'9'' and the Long barely touched the floor in the front when I was barefooted. The fit was not great on me (too loose on top and gaped on the sides a bit), so I am wearing my back-up dress. But this is a stunning dress; just not very fogiving on fit.

Classic and sexy
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I felt great in this dress and had plenty of room to move, though be careful that you secure the buttons that hold the halter up or you'll have a wardrobe malfunction for sure! They held all night for me but the dress should include a snap for backup. I did not wear a bra and didn't feel exposed because the top is blousey with ruffles. The front hem is shorter than the back hem and with non-platform heels was the perfect length, I'm 5'2" and rented a 2R. The material is not as luxe as I had hoped and looks a bit cheap for a designer gown, thank god it was black. Comfortable and seriously fabulous!
