This dress was beautiful and comfortable! I wore it to a military ball and got compliments all night. I'm usually between 2-4 and the 2 fur like a glove. I have an average size bust (34c) but if you're more gifted in the chest area I recommend a size up (:

Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress is a safe "go-to". Being that Im a little busty and have a wide back, the 8L was the perfect fit for me. It was floor length while wearing 3inch heels. The beading on the shoulder's are subtle but noticeable which is why I kept my hair swept up. I wore minimal jewelry to make sure I didn't take away from the dress...Its simple yet classic! Hands down, one of the best dresses I've worn thus far.

I originally rented a different dress and was worried when it didn't fit right and I had to have another dress over nighted to me.
This dress was so perfect! It ran true to size, the material is very soft and the length just hit the tops of my toes and the train hung a little in back.
It is clingy. I didn't mind but just a reference.
The back detail is stunning.

Loved this dress. Material was very comfortable and movable. The regular length on my 5'2" with 3.5" heels was perfect. The slight bunching around the mid section and the the rear end were so flattering! I would recommend this dress!

Wore this to a formal charity event. The dress is just beautiful- especially the back. It hugs in all the right places and I felt was very slimming. I am 5'4/138 pounds/34C - I ordered the 2R and 4R and the 4 was perfect. I wore shorter heels as I wanted the dress to hit the floor. Would highly recommend this dress for a formal event !

I had so many compliments on my dress!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress fit so incredibly perfect. I wore three inch heels and the dress touched the floor perfectly, no tripping what so ever. I was able to wear a strapless bra without it showing as well. The sequins under the arm scratch a teensy bit, but were never bothersome. I would wear this dress again and again if i could. We sat through a couple of hours at a military ball & then danced all night and the dress was never uncomfortable, and i never had to pull it up, down, sideways. it was just so perfect.

In a sea of black dresses, this one stood out. The fit was great, tight, but comfortable. It moved easily both walking and standing for an hour for cocktails and was still comfortable being seated for dinner and an auction. The only thing that was annoying was the sequins on the shoulders folded in a little, but that's me being very picky. Didn't need Spanx as the weight of the fabric and rushing was forgiving. Will not hesitate to rent again!

Great gown for a formal wedding
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This was my first time using RTR, and it was super easy. I needed a dress that fit into 3 buckets - long enough so I could wear heels (I'm 5'10"), not too much cleavage, and NOT strapless. This dress fit all three perfectly! I was able to wear 2/2.5 inch heels and felt great. I got a lot of compliments and felt really pretty. It is a tight fit, so I wore spanx - I wanted the 8L, but they didn't have it, so I went 6L. I probably would have worn the size up if I had had it, but still was a great dress.

Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size

I tried this dress with multiple different bras. The straps of the dress have no give and offer a lot of support, so a push-up bra made the 8l seem too tight. A simple strapless was perfect!

This dress was my backup, and it was actually much more flattering than I expected. I wore 4 inch heels, and the length was perfect. There is very subtle ruching across the front which is just enough to camouflage imperfections. Very comfortable and would definitely rent a similar Nicole Miller dress for future events.

Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered 8L because it seemed like a lot of the women who are my height and weight ordered smaller sizes and they didn't have a 10L in this dress. It was pretty tight which I wore spanx for it but REALLY wish I had gotten the 10L or the 12L. If it had been a size bigger it would have been perfect. I never got poked by the sequins and everyone raved about how great it looked. It showed just enough boob without being slutty. Cant wait to rent one for new years!

I got this as a back-up to another dress. That one didn't quite work and in a way, I'm glad. This is a beautifully understated, but glamorous gown. The neckline is very flattering and the open back and sequin shoulders were unique without screaming for attention. I got compliments all night. Would highly recommend!

I'm 5'11" so I got both the 6 & 8 in long - ended up wearing the 6L b/c it was a little more sexy - but still fit well and was comfortable all night. Thanks RTR, looking for a dress right now (a year later, for the same event)!

I wore this to my company holiday party. It worked out perfectly and fit really well. The only problem I had was that the lining kept shifting as I walked so the whole dress kept shifting and I had to constantly straighten it back up.

Beautiful dress - great service!
Size worn: 10L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I used this dress for a formal military ball. I ordered an 8 and a 10 both long. I am 5'9" - normally a size 8. Both dresses were too short for me with heels. The 10L was perfect when I was in bare feet and it did fit better with heels than the 8. The 10 wasn't quite to the floor in the front, since the back has a train it was not a really big deal. The size 10L fit me fine, but the 8L fit me better in the bust and I had to sort of pad up to fill out the 10! Otherwise, it really is a gorgeous dress - nothing to complain about at all. I am excited I finally delved and tried RTR - and I will DEF order again.

Compliments, compliments, compliments!
Size worn: 6R
Rented for: Wedding
I received so many compliments for this dress!! I picked it out for a black tie wedding (venue not pictured). And I couldn't have been happier! It fit pretty well and I don't think I've received so many nice comments and questions about where I got the dress.
Only things that I wish were different.. The zipper buckles a little in the back so I felt like I was constantly checking to make sure it laid flat. The dress also turns, so the seams were not where they were intended and I had to keep going to fix it.
The zipper is black! And not silver like in the picture. The sequins also didn't bother me as much as I was expecting.
Super happy about my choice for a NYE black tie wedding.

Size worn: 4P
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was my first time using Rent the Runway so I was a little nervous to say the least. I read a ton of reviews before deciding on the size and dress. I needed a dress for a NYE black tie affair. Typically I am a size 2P, but I went with the 4P because I felt as though it was a little snug in the chest area and I didn't want to be popping out. The length was perfect; I wore about a 3 inch heel. The dress was STUNNING and I received a ton of compliments. Very comfortable as well. What a great idea Rent the Runway has come up with. It's very rare that I have a formal affair such as this to go to and I didn't want to run out and spend a ton of money on a dress I will probably never wear again (although if I do ever have such an affair I would totally rent this dress again). Also, I was very impressed with the packaging the dress came in. Very professional company and I would most definitely from them again. THANK YOU, RTR!!!!

It contours to your body and is very flattering. It was the perfect length (I'm 5'-2" and wore 3.5" heels) and the sequins did not rub at all. I received so many compliments and felt confident the whole night. The dress has sex appeal while still being classy and very formal. So glad I decided to try Rent the Runway and fell in love with the dress!

I wore this dress to my medical school formal. Fit great, super comfy, and true to size.
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Overall the dress fit great. I got eh 6L which was actually a little long (I'm 5'9). I would've been better off with the 6R. I wore high heels but I still hiked up the dress a bit which was fine because the middle section was a little scrunched naturally so it looked normal. The zipper isn't hidden so it will show but other than that the dress was really comfy and I got compliments on it the whole night!
My only negative comment about my first RTR experience was about actually getting the dress. The dress finally arrived an hour before my event so unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to plan how I was going to do my hair, my jewelry, or my shoes.

LOVED this dress! This was my first RTR but I would absolutely do it again! I normally wear a size 4 and depending on the dress need a 4L. Unfortunately I could not get the 4L for my event, but I actually ended up being super happy I got the 6L. It is a pretty tight/form fitting dress, so I didn't mind having a little more room for dancing in the 6L. The dress was so comfortable and chic! Perfect for the formal Navy wedding that I attended.

I absolutely love this dress! The fit is very true to size. I wear a size 0 so I decided to go with the 0R. I wore 3 inch heals with the dress and they were perfect. The dress is stretchy where it needs to be and I was able to dance and move very comfortably. I received so many compliments on this dress throughout the night and it was a perfect dress for the black tie wedding that we attended. I was so sad to put it in the mail this morning! I wish I could keep it!

Dress fit great, has some stretch and ruching around the midsection so is great for hiding any little flaws. Length was perfect with heels on.

Classy flattering dress for black tie wedding
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I waited until the last minute to rent so this was one of a few options, my first experience with RTR. the dress fit perfectly, the length was perfect with 4 in heels. it was so flattering, it gave me more of shape. the rouching (sp?) was perfectly placed. the material was comfortable. the back has a flattering little bustle, it is subtle. I danced all night! I have another black tie wedding in a month and I may rent this dress again. pictures don't do the details justice, got tons of compliments. the RTR experience is easy, you feel like you are wearing a brand new dress.
