I would wear this with Tights next time. There is really pretty lace paneling on the sides that you are not able to see in the photos. I got this as a second dress and it actually was my favorite.

It fits really well against the body, but it is difficult to find a bra that works with the cutouts in the back. Also scrunches a little at the wait if you are on the petite, shorter side.

I rented this adorable little dress to wear to a LBD fundraising event this past weekend. I'm 5'8", 135 lbs, and rented it in a size 4. It's adorable! Fits great, but yes, it is short. If you'll be doing a lot of dancing, beware, it does move! I rocked it with a large sparkly bracelet, big sparkly earrings, and 4" black peep toe pumps. Flash your pretty smile and you'll be a knockout. Love it!

Really comfortable and flattering. Can't really wear a bra with it though because of the back. The side lace panels were a little pilly, but not horribly. Awesome LBD, definitely would rent it again. Wore it with a great statement necklace from here.

I rented this dress for NYE. I wore it under a sequin blazer that I already had and it looked great. I would highly recommend especially to wear under a cute long blazer. The dress is true to size. I am 5'2" and 115 pounds and it was perfect. A little short but I wore tights since it was winter time. Highly recommend.

elastic stretch in sides creates an ideal hourglass shape. only thing is that it runs short, but for a night on the town it's ok

This dress is very short (especially on someone who is 5'10). I think if I were any taller, this dress wouldn't have covered everything.

Great Black Vegas Dress
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Rented this for vegas trip - super cute and fit ok overall but I have bust on the smaller size (A cup) so the top part didn't fit quite right. It was definitely short but not to the point that I felt uncomfortable (in vegas) plus I'm short so that helped. I didn't have a backup size but if I did I would probably go smaller. It will definitely be super short on a taller person but for me it was perfect.

Fits Well but Way Too Short!
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress was awesome but a little too short for me to actually wear in public. It's got pretty lace down the sides and the back strap gives it a unique twist but I personally wasn't comfortable with the length. However, If you are looking to show off some skin and be the center of attention for the night, definitely the dress for you. I also imagine that it would look great in the winter with a pair of black tights and booties!

This dress is super short! The rest of the fit was pretty true to size, but the length made it impossible for me to wear (I'm 5'6"). My friend who's 5'3" wore it instead and it looked great on her. I'd really only recommend this dress for the shorter ladies... giving it 4 stars 'cuz it looked so good on my friend.

Really cute... but SUPER SHORT. This is not a dress you want to meet your boyfriend's parents in. Great for going out though. I am a 34 D and with all dresses (I got a size 4) I am always a little worried about coverage. This dress stayed on much better than most. The back is almost like bra with 3 sets of hooks which is nice so you can customize it to your own chest size. However, I was pulling the bottom down. The dress does tend to ride up. The material on the sides of the size 4 was pilling and not in the best condition. I would be more upset if I had paid more than $25 for this rental. This was my second dress for fun filled weekend.

Beautiful dress, loved the fit and style, very flattering, didn't fall down at all. A little short, had to wear a slip underneath and leave it exposed for coverage.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this dress is extremely short. The lace side panels are also more noticeable than they appear in the photo. I was bummed because the dress was not that flattering on me (too tight at the armpits/bust, but too loose at the waist) and also showed some noticeable signs of wear - a drooping hem, snags and pilling on the lace part. It worked OK for the bachelorette party I attended, but I didn't feel great in this one. Would not recommend.

This dress was super cute and very flattering. However, the lace on the sides was snagged in several spots and definitely showing some age. I did not think it was too short on me at all and had it been much longer it would have seemed an odd length for a lbd for a night out.

I rented this dress for my bachelorette party, and it was PERFECT! Everyone loved it, and it was so sexy! The back is amazing! The dress fit great and runs true to size. For me, there was no need to wear tights with it, like some of the earlier reviews said. This was my first experience with Rent the Runway, and I will definitely be a repeat customer!

The fabric bunches up easily; did not end up wearing the dress. In the picture where the model's hands are on her hips is exactly where the dress bunches up and does not stay flat (most likely due to the absence of fabric in the back to pull it flush with the body).

I rented this dress last weekend and LOVED it. It was definitely short and tight (not my usual style) but totally perfect for my weekend in Vegas. I wore black heels and gold jewelry with it and my guy friends thought it was smoking! Note that it does tend to ride up a bit, especially if you are dancing.
