Overall fit: True to Size

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!)

The color, lace detail and belt made me feel like a Moroccan princess at my Marrakech themed event!
Size worn: 0L

Two main pointers for the dress:
1) The shoulder is sewn together by just a piece of thread. Since this tiny thread is the only thing keeping the dress on your body, avoid the catastrophic event of the thread breaking and your dress falling to the floor by adding a safety pin to the shoulder. If you do it on the inside, no one will even see it.
2) The slip is realllly high (see photo). While is it super fun and sexy, know that the slip shows some leg!

I did not choose this dress; it was sent by RTR when the one I requested was damaged. My husband like this one better than my back-up and I agreed. Received many compliments! It did NOT come with a belt, so I improvised-think it turned out great! Used my shawl to cover my lap at dinner and kept hubby on my left-that slit is INSANE! Definitely channeled Angelina :). Length was perfect with 3" platforms

Gorgeous dress but not quite right
Size worn: 10L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This is definitely a gorgeous dress but there were a couple things that held me back from actually wearing it to the wedding I was attending.
1) There is an extremely high slit in the dress and it wasn't really wedding appropriate, when I sat down the slit came up to my UPPER UPPER thigh
2) The belt that was sent with the dress was a size smaller than the dress I rented making it SUPER tight and impossible to keep on if you wanted to breath
Overall, it was a gorgeous dress and I would have loved to wear it if I could change those two things

So comfy and simply beautiful . The lace trim and slit made the dress! The sash had a button but it wouldn't stay on, but was an easy fix with safety pin. I got tons of compliments and had no trouble with the length. I'm only 5'1 so with heels the 2r was perfect. Shot out to Sheridan, because I got two sizes the 4r was ruined before it got to me. She contacted me and said they sent a similar style. Luckily the 2r fit so didn't have to use the other style.

The slit in the leg was a fun sexy little surprise :)
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore the size 2 because of the length. The 2 was the tiniest bit bigger on the ribs area where it hugged so I also gave myself a little breathing room for food and drink rather than the 0 :) I would have liked an extra 3 inches on the length for heel purposes, but I kicked my heels off pretty early so it ended up being ok cause I didn't trip. The color was beautiful and it looked brand new. The lace detail was lovely. I switched the belt on the dress because I had a different belt that matched my shoes. The ONLY thing that made me nervous was on the shoulder strap it doesn't have much holding thread holding it together. If it has been my own dress I probably would have added a little thread to make sure when I danced it would be sturdy. But it was fine :)
The dress was overall a beautiful dress and I loved the high slip to show a little leg, everyone loved it!

Beautiful conservative gown, with a bit of a high slit for flare.

When I first saw this dress on the hanger, I was not impressed. However, when I put it on - it transformed into a beautiful gown that was had a wow factor. I am 5' 10" and I would have liked to have had about 2 more inches on the long, however wore some flashy shoes and it was fine. I had to do a bit of sewing before wearing as the snaps for the belt on the dress were hanging on by one thread - and the one shoulder had two small threads keeping it connected. Overall, very comfortable and flattering dress.

I wanted to wear this dress to my senior prom, and I was super excited to receive it. Unfortunately, I got a phone call from Rent the Runway on the day before it was to be delivered to tell me that they had not received the belt back with the dress. I didn't proceed with the rental of the belt-less dress, but I was able to swap the dress style for another and still receive it on time. 5 stars for customer service, but wow guys please return the dresses in the condition they're sent to you in.

Great Dress
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Great length--I'm 5'1" and wore 5" heels, and that made the length perfect. The slit on the side front is really high, so I pinned it somewhat which worked out fine. It's easy to move in and roomy in the top. It comes with a removable velveteen sash which attaches with small snaps at the waist. Since there's only one sash for both sizes and I wore the smaller size, the sash was big and flopped down when I snapped it in place, so I didn't end up wearing it with the sash. You could still see the three snaps but they were small so no one really noticed. I got many compliments, and overall am very happy with the way I looked.

I got many compliments for the dress and I thought it looked nice for the most part. It isn't the style of dress that I am used to, so I think that contributed for my lack of excitement about the dress. I would absolutely recommend the dress to anyone, though. Very well made and so elegant.

Absolutely stunning dress. Gorgeous "wine" color. Lace trim is a wonderful touch.
Size worn: 12L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress will make you feel like a Greek goddess. The way the dress is cut will make you look taller and leaner. Beautiful color, it's like a nice wine/burgundy/purple color. The material is very flowy and hides "flaws" to keep you looking smooth in any problem areas (I did wear spanx and that helped too). Absolutely stunning and looooved the lace trim. The slit does go up pretty high but if you're just standing, the fabric overlaps itself so you're not actively showing any thigh. I only had an issue when I sat down, but I knew to grab it and tuck it so it wouldn't show. Even then, it was still tasteful. Loved renting this dress. Only complaint was that RTR sent the wrong belt size, TWICE! Make sure you have a backup belt to wear for this one just in case. It has the belt loops so you can get away with a belt that isn't velvet. The belt was so cute too, I was very bummed I didn't get to wear it. Very fun and easy to dance in. The one shoulder was very nice and could wear a strapless bra but using one strap on the side. Very comfortable and easy to move in, fabric is very forgiving. Great dress overall!

I'm 5'4" and the length was perfect with 3" heels. The slit was high- but it wasn't anything too racy., I just had to watch as I sat down that it stayed closed. The fit through the bust was good, the wrap and draping were flattering and overall I loved this gown! I'm usually a size 2 in dresses from places like jcrew or loft ( if you're looking for a size comparison) the fit on this was perfect. It arrived on time, the dresses were both in excellent condition too. Although I did have some trouble getting the belt to snap into place. I think it was missing a snap, nothing a safety pin didn't fix. My backup size was missing the belt, so I emailed customer service and the sent me a quick reply. I didn't need the belt so it was all ok, but I was pleased with the fast response.

i actually wore this as a back up dress since my original dress did not fit and was damaged. I am 5'3 and ordered long, so it does run short. I did not get the belt sent to me, however had my own which helped break up the top and bottom. I wear a 36 DD and fit perfectly on the top. Dress was very comfortable, but sexy. The slit was not too high. They color is a beautiful rich purple, and photographs very nicely. I got compliments all night on the dress, Im glad my original dress didnt work out.!!

Simple but stunning!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I'd say the dress is TTS and looks gorgeous on, as it made my waist look small and balanced my broad shoulders. I wanted an 8L and 10L, but there was no 10 available. The 8L fit comfortably, although it wasn't as long as I'd hoped. I'd intended to wear this dress with 100mm (4in) heels, but it was a little short for my tastes so I went with 75mm (3in) heels instead. I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath, without it showing. RTR forgot to send the belt (in the stock photo) that matches the dress, so I used one of my own to cover up the snap that is designed to hold the matching belt in place. I tried a very thin grosgrain bow belt and a thicker sequin belt (both black), and went with the sequin belt because DH liked it more. The slit on the side of the dress went up to the top of my thigh, so shapewear was out of the question! As others stated, if I held the dress when I sat, I was able to overlap the fabric so that my upper thigh was covered. I got so many compliments on this dress and felt very elegant. I wish the photos did the dress better justice, but you won't be disappointed!

Gorgeous dress!
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress is absolutely beautiful - the details, down to the belt. It was all so pretty. The slit was a bit high, but overall a great fit and perfect for a formal event, with a little bit of flare. I wore a 4L, and it was perfect in heels. The top was a bit baggier, and I probably could have fit into a 2, but the 4 was comfortable.

The color of this dress is PERFECT and it is so unique.
Size worn: 10L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am 5'7" and based on the reviews I got a 10 Long and it was perfect. I would not have been able to wear heels with the regular length. I am between an 8 and 10 and the 10 was perfect for me. I have a large bust (34DD) and the 10 had a little room but I think the 8 would have been too tight. The side slit is VERY high. To the hip, high. You don't notice it unless you are sitting down. I just pinned it and it was perfect. I would recommend this dress to anyone.
