Stunning Dress and Amazing Process!
I worn this and felt elegant and classic all evening the slit up the leg was breath taking. The photo doesn't do this gown justice.

Sexy slit. Lots of compliments!
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 wore this for an Inaugural Ball and was pleased! Got many compliments on the overall look. Thanks!
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!!!!

Great service always
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.

Stunning details
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 fit was absolutely wonderful. It was a very comfortable dress to wear. It's very conservative, but the slit in the side definitely adds some sass!

This dress was beautiful!
Very well maintained. Just a little small in the bust for me. :(
I was disappointed, but doesn't have any stretch to adjust for a larger bust line.

Rich Colors
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.

fits like a glove
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.

OK
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.

I wore this for a vintage-themed wedding and it fit right in!
The one issue with this dress is the slit -- it is HIGH. So high, that I had to use a safety pin to keep my upper thigh from showing.

This dress was amazing!
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!

Quick ship for last minute gala.
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.

Fits true to the size...very delicate lace, just be careful when sitting down, the slip on the size is truly revealing...so sexy. Love it!

High-waisted!
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.
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!

My glam moment finally came!!
When I walked into the party, I got all the attractions. It is such a elegant and sexy gown. I loved lace details and black sash. I'm 5'6'' and wore 4 inch heel, length was perfect with 4L. My husband told me he never saw me that beautiful. And I got tons of compliments!! I rented black and silver bracelet and earring from RTR as recommanded also, It worked perfectly. Thanks to RTR!!

Too short, even in the long
This was my backup dress for a black tie wedding and I was glad I like my first choice option. This dress was too short, even in the 8L, to wear heels. The color and slit are fun but my husband said the material looked cheap.

Pretty for cooler months, long
I rented this for a summer wedding and the velvet tie wasn't appropriate for the season. It was too long for me so I didn't wear it. Maybe best for taller ladies and in the winter.

Stunning, true to size
I rented this dress for a wedding. The 4L fit perfectly, however it was too short. I went with the back-up 6L but wore the 4 belt to make up for the loose fit. I would recommend this dress for any black tie affair.

Pretty but Not for Tall Girls
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.

beautiful dress!
I loved this dress. Wore it to a black tie wedding. Great alternative to a black dress. It fit perfectly and I found it to look conservative but having the slit up the side gave it a mysterious sexy edge. I ended up wearing a different belt because it was not shipped with my dress but I loved it just as much.

everyone loved the dress!
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.

Sorry, the picture is blurry and the color is faked but I hope can give you the idea!
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.

Beautiful dress, but too short
I rented this dress as an alternate for a ballet gala and I found it too short for me. I'm 5'10" and it didn't hit the floor in flat feet. I knew it would probably be too short from the description, but wanted to get a different dress to have a few options as I had just had a baby and wasn't sure what would look good on my body (or whether I would be up for wearing heels). The color was a magenta-ish purple and I LOVED the sexy slit up the side. I wish it was longer and it could have been an option.

Did you order up from the size 8 that you usually wear? It sounds like I am around the same size as you and I really want this dress to work!

I ordered this in my size in long and regular. the regular was SO short! there was no way i could have worn it in flats. it was very beautiful though!
KaleyJuly 17, 2012
Were you able to wear heels with the long size?
RTRJuly 18, 2012
Hi Kaley, the Long measures 60” from shoulder to hem and will be floor length on a 5’5” woman in 3” heels. At 5'8 in the long version you could wear a very short heel that may show.

Not berry, but purple
This dress looks like a plum/berry color on my monitor, but it's more of a true purple in real life. The fit was a little strange... snug at the waist and saggy in the chest (probably my own shortcomings there). I didn't get to wear this dress, but RTR has great customer service. I'll definitely try renting again! Thank you RTR!

I felt like this dress was made just for me and the dress had a vintage feel to it. I felt so beautiful.
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.

Love this dress
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding and it was amazing! The dress itself fit like a glove. My only complaint is that the size 2 belt was a little small. I ordered the size 4 as a back up, so I wore the size 4 belt with the size 2 dress. I'm sad I don't own this dress... :-)

Gorgeous gown
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!
