Great, comfortable formal dress
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Dress fit true to size and is not very tight at any point making for an easy fit. The belt was a little weird but overall I really liked the dress and felt it was great for the occasion (a black tie fall wedding). My boyfriend was skeptical from the picture but loved it.

Loved this dress! The fit is tight in the bust if you're busty, and I am, but it still worked. I was mildly terrified that the single stitch holding the shoulder together would burst under the strain so I had pins in my purse. The slit is RIDIC! I had it pinned lower because it was just way too high for a work (or any) function. Although the more wine I had the more the pin moved up. ;) Tons of compliments, felt foxy, danced like crazy! (Friend in pic is wearing RTR too!)

Sexy slit. Lots of compliments!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The fit is definitely an 8. I tried this dress on at the RTR showroom but had a 8L so I opted for the 8R since it was really long. However, the 8R was noticeably shorter. I had strappy 3 inch heels on and was a bit self conscious since it was short but the slit made it less noticeable. The bow belt is a bit tight and would snap off when I went to sit. I had a 10 as a backup so used that belt instead. Overall the dress was comfortable and pretty and I got a lot of compliments!

I am 5'8 and wore a regular. While I did have not so high heels, it made me wonder how long a L would have been? Anyway, this was fine. A little tight in the waist but 6 would have been way too loose. Great color and fabric for winter!!!!

This dress was magnificent for the occasion. but what i didnt notice was the huge slit that literally went up to my lower hip. It was sexy when i walked but right as i sat down, it was difficult to control. if youre not afraid to show a little skin, this dress is perfect.

The top attachment on the shoulder is held together by a simple thread. I thought it was going to break at any moment all night! -but it didn't! Also, the belt kept coming unsnapped.

This dress was amazing!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress fit perfect, I ordered a size 6L and 8L they both fit very well but I ended up wearing the 8L with the 6 belt because I liked the way it looked better. The dress is a little short, I am 5'6 and i wore 4 inch heels and it was about 1/2 inch off of the ground. The slit is very high but I loved that, the rest of the dress is so conservative the slit really makes up for it and is very sexy. I wish I never had to give back the dress!

Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I was very pleased with this gown. It fit perfectly and I received so many compliments on this dress! It was unique and classy. I will say that I was glad I opted for the free back-up dress. The original size I was going to wear came with the wrong size belt (size 12) so I used the belt from the back-up instead. This has been the easiest and best rental experience for me and would highly recommend renttherunway to friends!

Loved the dress! It was, however, about 1/2" too short, but it still worked, I'd rather it be 1/2" too short, than be tripping all over it on the dance floor. Got a lot of compliments throughout the night. I ordered a size 2 and 0, I chose the 0 because the top in the 2 was a bit baggy, but I am small up top.

If you are tall and lean the dress fits exactly as in the picture. The color is a little brighter. The dress is a little bit loose on the chest but is not annoying. The belt instead is way too large and I had to use some fabric tape to fix it. Anyway the result was stunning and I received tones of compliments.

I felt like this dress was made just for me and the dress had a vintage feel to it. I felt so beautiful.
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I adored this dress and got so many compliments on it. I'm 5'2 120lbs and wore the size 4R. I wore a pair of the Steve Madden pumps that are very popular this year and they were a perfect choice for the length. The belt stayed in place and the split int he dress was just the perfect amount of sexiness. I couldn't have made a better choice.

The slit up the side does go up a little higher than expected and made sitting while staying decent tricky. It stops about 6" below the hip bone. The colour was beautiful and it hung nicely. It was still a little too short for my frame with heels, even in the long sizes.

pretty dress, was too short
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I got this as a backup dress so I did not end up wearing it. however, it was large in the bust and waist and very short. I am 5'4 and it just skimmed the ground without heels on, so with heels it looked silly. I loved the color, and the belt helped cinch the waist in a bit.

This dress was more matronly than it appears in the picture. It also has a VERY high slit on one side that I was unaware of when renting. I would up wearing something I already owned instead of this dress.

Even the LONG is short!!!! I'm only 5'5 and the dress was hig watered on me, it looked ridiculous! And the belt sizes were all off, seems like they are mixed up in the bags seeing as the actual belts aren't labeled, there's no way to tell the actual size. Neither fit, and the dress was just okay. Not for something as grand that I needed, unable to wear.

Loved the fit and feel of this dress. The right size was missing the ribbon at the waist and RTR was really helpful and had it overnighted to me the same day. Although I was still pleased with my selection, this dress wasn't quite as stunning as my other rentals from RTR. I rented this for a dance, but it would have been a better fit for a more sober event like a cocktail party or wedding.

I wore this dress for a holiday ball, and it was ABSOLUTELY stunning! the purple hue of the dress was an perfect unsuspected holiday tone, and the slit up the leg gave just the right amount of sexy, while still being classy for the more mature crowd. I would rent it again this year for the same event if I could! Maybe bring a safety pin to just fasten the velvet belt a little stronger.

Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: True to Size

This was a very last minute order and I was very happy with the dress. I ordered in the 10R and 12R and wore the 10R. I am 5'8 and was wearing 4 inch heels the L would have been better but was not available on such short notice. The slit is high and when sitting needed to make sure I adjusted but when walking, standing it was fine. The color was great for fall, condition of dress was perfect. I felt great in dress.

Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Very pretty dress, with gorgeous thigh-high slit and beautiful lace trim. I didn't end up wearing either the 4L or 6L that I was sent, however, because the "waist" of the dress was well up my ribcage, so the sash/belt would have gone around the bottom of my ribs rather than my actual waist. I'm not particularly long-waisted, so I was a little surprised. I wore the backup dress instead, which was fine, but not nearly as pretty!

Perfect choice for a black-tie wedding.
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This is a great dress! The black lace over the purple fabric is a nice detail. It was true to size, but like other reviewers said, it might run a little short. I got the long length, and it was perfect with heels. I would recommend it for a thin frame, very flattering. The only bit of warning I would offer is that the side split, while very sexy, is also cut VERY high. A good gust of wind and this dress becomes very revealing. After the first incident, I secured it a few inches down with a safety pin and was fine for the rest of the night with no worries. The belt shipped was a size 10 belt and was not adjustable...obviously a problem...but again, safety pin to the rescue. I wore it with a cuff bracelet similar to the picture and chandelier earrings and got compliments all night!

I loved this dress and tried it on at Saks where it was long enough, but sadly even the long size here was not long enough. I called RTR and they explained that the dresses are hemmed and refunded me, but it was not even long enough for flats.
