I went with the 8R because it felt more comfortable.  The slit is quite high, but nothing that bothered me.  I actually liked the slit because being so short and wearing heels, I didn’t need to worry about tripping while walking.  I got a lot of compliments and felt great.  I would definitely rent again for a formal event.

When I saw the style of this dress I knew I had to have it.  It's very pretty and comfortable.  The regular length was ok, but if I had worn any higher of a heel it would have been too short.  Don't hesitate to size up with this dress, the baggy style is what makes this unique. 

Loved this dress! This ended up being a last minute shipment from RTR and I was so happy with it. Fit was true to size and the velvet belt along with the lace trim gave it a little something extra. I also loved the fun slit up the side. Was a tad short but overall fit great! 

 I ordered a 12 R because the reviews said that you should order the regular if you are 5'6 or below and I am 5'5. I could've easily gone with a Long though as it was just a bit short. Luckily I wore short heels and took them off during the reception so it ended up being a good dancing length! RTR also forgot to add the fabric sash so I went without it. You can't really tell but it would've added something a little extra 


This was my first time using RTR and I was a little nervous. They didn't have my back up size available, so I went with the one size and it ended up fitting perfectly! I had to pin the belt, but the belt added a lot to the dress.   I had to wear a shorter heal in order for dress to be correct length. But over all, this dress was perfect! I chose RTR because I a had a black tie event coming up and no time to shop.  Plus, not a lot of good shopping options for a gown in the town  I live in.   RTR gave me so many beautiful designer dresses to choose from.  It was so much fun and such an easy process!! I can't wait to use RTR again!!  I had a lot of compliments on the dress!! I was sad to send it back!!  




















This is an elegant dress.  I wore the 6R, the fit was great and very comfortable.  It could have been a little longer, I wore 3 inch heels and my preference would have been to have to dress hit the floor.  Overall, a great experience, I love Rent the Runway!

The only tricky part about the dress is the tie that goes around the waist, some of the snaps are a little bit flimsy, but other than that it was wonderful!


The fit and length were perfect: the only issue I had is that the sash is worn out and the snaps would not hold - I eventually just took it off

Great fit belt was not delivered with dress. Length was perfect

I'm an athlete at heart (. 4 years in college and still a coach) the fit was a true 8. The length was great with 2 inch heels. Down side.. Someone never returned the belt so it didn't make it to me either. I don't know if I would have loved it or hated it but I went without it. Got tons of compliments. The slit wasn't an issue but then again I'm only 5'3 on a good day. Awesome rental, would have bought it if I had the chance!

This was my first purchase and I was quite nervous but the dress was wonderful! Not only did it get delivered right on time I got a bunch of compliments. I'm usually a 00 but the 0P for great. It didn't come with the belt shown but I didn't need one. It was very classy and elegant all in one. The slit made the dress extra sexy!

From the other reviews, I was worried about the length and slit.  The slit was perfect, when you walk it doesn't reveal anything. And the length was perfect with my 4 inch heels.  I could eat and move with ease.  I didn't use the velvet belt, I really think it down plays the elegance of the dress, so I just pinned some lace in the place of it. Had several compliments and felt great in the dress:)  Thanks so much!

Lots of compliments.  I wore it as a bridesmaid dress in a wedding.  The fit is true to size.  The top of the dress is stunning.  The length... They no longer have this dress in Long.  I'm 5'6 and ordered the regular length to wear with flats, but I cut it REALLY close with it being too short (see picture). Overall though, great dress.

Very comfortable, good fit, easy to move in.. looks good with or without the belt it comes with

I ordered 3 different dresses before deciding to wear this one. After researching and asking military wives who have been to military functions I decided to stick to a neutral color and a somewhat conservative option. The slit in the side was high but not in an overly revealing way (though you may want to be cautious when you are sitting down). I am normally between a size 4 and 6- I chose the 6 since the 4 was not available; it worked fine although the 4 probably would have fit my waist better. I have a pear shape with much wider hips than chest and it made my body look fantastic! I would definitely recommend this dress to girls with a similar body shape or any shape really!

The belt that came with the dress was too big (I contribute that to the fact the 6 was a little large through the waist for me) but very pretty. I decided, however, to wear a separately purchased gold and black belt which gave the dress an elegant, Grecian feel. I spoke with a consultant who assured me I wouldn't need a 6L because I am average height but the dress was too short with 3 inch heels-- a 4L probably would have been perfect but it was fine with me. The lightweight material made the Georgia heat much more bearable and I was overall very pleased with this dress. 

The dress fit perfectly at the top and in the waist, but it was a bit long for me. I had to wear 3.5 inch heels and probably could have gone a little bit higher, as the dress still had to be held a  off the ground. But the side slit helped with navigating around the length, and the overall fit was just perfect, I got tons of compliments on the dress; it was simple and elegant yet not too stuffy. Very easy to move and dance in!

It fit true to size. I'm usually smaller up top and lager on the bottom so I was worried while I was ordering it but relieved once I found out the smaller of the two sizes fit. The dress is incredible however the slit was kind of high for my I was sitting for most of the night so I had to keep holding it together so I didn't feel like I was falling out of the dress.

This dress was absolutely perfect!  I wanted a dress that was elegant, sophisticated but not too "old" feeling.  And this dress it!  I still felt young and sexy in it.  I received so many compliments and I was comfortable the whole night!

I also must say that my experience with RTR was top notch!  It wasn't my first time renting,however, I had a few sizing issues this time around.  RTR overnighted me additional dresses not once, but twice before my event!  This dress wasn't available in the size I thought I was, but when the dresses I originally picked didn't fit (I gained a few pounds this winter...opps!) and I had to get a new size I tried this one in the available size and it fit AMAZINGLY well.  If it wasn't for RTRs awesome customer service and EXTREMELY fast and reliable service I wouldn't have received this dress on time... 3 hours before my event!  I will never purchase a formal gown again... RTR all the way!

The modesty of the top was a perfect balance to the HIGH slit. Ladies, you must love your legs if you want to wear this dress. 
I wore black spanks (boyshort kind) so I didnt have to worry about it showing anything. 
My dress was sent sans belt, but they overnighted one to me!
LOVED LOVED LOVED this dress!!!

This dress was perfect for an evening wedding. It was very comfortable and simple, yet I still felt elegant. I have only two cons: 1.) I'm 5'8" and the regular length felt a little short for me, and wished RTR has the 6L available. I decided to wear lower heals because of this. 2.) The slit on the side is super high and exposes a lot when you are sitting. I ended up pinning it to avoid any awkward situations! Overall, it was a great dress and would recommend this dress to anyone. 

This dress was comfy , sexy , fit me like a glove and I couldn't be happier. 

A family friend that I've known since I was born was getting married and I wanted to look my best. As soon as I saw this dress, I feel in love and I knew I had to rent it. I'm 5'5 and have a regular figure I would say. I ordered a 4R and it fit perfectly and came with the belt. I wore about 4 inch heels and I had no problem with the length. When I got to the wedding, everyone was in love with this dressed and said I looked absolutely stunning in it...one even said I looked like a "Hot Goddess!" If you want a show stopper dress, to have everyone envy you, and to look your best, you need to rent this dress. It was the best decision I ever done and since this was my first timing renting an item, I am definitely going to be renting more in the future!

This dress is beautiful and I felt very glamorous wearing it.  I received many complements.  The lace and bow details give it the sophistication and feminininity.  The bow is a part of a belt that snaps on and it's very easy to figure out.  Fortunately, I ordered two sizes because one dress (4R) came with a belt that was missing one of the snaps. It was very easy to walk and dance in.  I only wish I had known the split was so high.  It was fine walking around but when sitting, my hip was exposed.  Thank goodness for the appropriate bikini underwear and a pashmina I carried.

Overall, I was very happy and received lots of compliments.
- The dress fit well and is a great formal dress option for pear shapes (it was loose on the tummy, thighs, and bottom).  
- The strap on the right side (the only one) was actually a little tight at times.  
- The lace on the dress I received is a little worn, particularly at the neckline, but it wasn't noticeable.  
- Unlike what other reviewers said, I didn't think the slit was that high.
- I debated whether or not to wear the belt, but there is a button attachment that shows if you don't, so I suggest either planning on wearing the existing belt, having another on hand, or using a broach to cover up the button.


This dress was just simply amazing. it fitted perfectly and was extremely elegant. I had A LOT of compliments and recommend it. very beautiful

Loved this dress! Didn't come with the belt shown in the picture but still got a lot of compliments without it!
 

Got a lot of compliments on it, but the slit up the side of the dress goes pretty high - so I used a safety pin. Other than that, it was comfy and a great dress!

Love this dress! I am sometimes a 12 and sometimes a 14 and am glad I went with the 12 - it fit perfect! I went with a regular length based on reviews but if I ordered again, I would order a long instead of a regular as the length was just a tad too short for my preference (contacted RTR for a long but wasn't available and I didn't want to select a new style as I love this dress!). I was originally a little worried about the high slit but it was great - just had to be careful with sitting (just t first to adjust). Loved the lace detailing on the neckline and on the slit. Didn't end up wearing the belt - didn't think it added much. Arm hole was a little big with extra fabric on the side. Would rent again. 

The fit was great! True to size. I'm 5'7'', and the L length was perfect with 4 in. heels. I have more of an hour glass figure, and the dress highlighted that in a classy way. The dress allows you to wear a supportive bra without having to fiddle with it the whole night. Slit is VERY high, but I loved it. I had to pin it just a little so no accidents happened, but the slit takes the dress to another level, where it would be very simple otherwise. My one true complaint is that the ribbon belt pictured was not included when I received the dress. I had to improvise with a piece of ribbon I pinned to stay in place. This was my first time using RTR, and I was very impressed with the results and ease of return. 

Perfect for a wedding , so many compliments!

Everything fit perfectly, except the strap on top of my shoulder was a little tight. But at least it was secure! I'm 5'8 and wore about 4 inch heels and the length was perfect. It came with a belt, but because it was of velvet material and the wedding was a spring/summer wedding, I chose not to wear it. Still looked good. I wore this dress for a black tie wedding and felt very elegant. Got many compliments!

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding . It is very comfortable and the lace adds a nice elegant touch. The slit down the side is quite high, just to note if you are going to a more conservative wedding. 

I usually wear a 4 and I wore the 4R and it fit like it was made for me. If you're taller than 5'2" and planning to wear 3 inch heels or greater, you may want to consider the extra length. I wore 4 inch heels and the dress was borderline short! The way the dress lays in the center is very flattering and forgiving. The lace detail was beautiful. I didn't wear the velvet belt because the wedding was in May, and it seemed a little wintery. The only complaint I had involved the belt loop and button attachment for the belt because I chose not to wear it. The button was in an inconspicuous position and I put a safety pin in the belt loop and it looked fine. 

While neither size came with the belt, I was able to wear the 10 without it.  It was very comfortable and look great for the wedding.  The 8 fit but was snug, I thought it would have been uncomfortable.  I wore short heels and I thought it was the perfect length. 

The entire experience was wonderful from beginning to end. This was my first rental, and now I expect to use RTR regularly. I got tons of compliments, felt totally comfortable, and really enjoyed the night in this dress. The side slit is a bit high, so if you think you'll be uncomfortable, simply consider pinning it. Otherwise, FANTASTIC! :)

Ordered this dress literally three days before a last minute black tie gala. It arrived without the belt which was very disappointing. The 0L was not as long as expected - I didn't need the L bit that's all that was available; however the R must run short as I'm 5'4" and the L worked fine. Dress runs small and by end of the night I ft suffocated at the waist and shoulder. It really it a lovely dress but doesn't photograph well to capture all the detail. I had no issue with the leg slit, it wasn't that high, I wore to a work event. 

The dress fit perfectly.  The only thing I can complain about is the belt loops.  I'm not sure if a belt was missing or if they are there.  Overall loved the dress!

The dress was comfortable, classy, and just sexy enough with the thigh slit on the side. I usually wear a 2 but the dress runs a bit small. The 4 fit perfectly and I am so happy Rent the Runway lets you pick 2 sizes just in case. My only complaint was the dress did not come with the belt that was pictured - but it was not the end of the world. Overall loved the dress and will be using Rent the Runway in the future!

Perfect fit, comfortable, and as pretty in person as the pictures. Got the dress on time (day before) and comes with pre paid envelope to send it back. Super easy process. And fun. Do it :)
