The fabric on this dress is dense so it masks imperfections nicely and helps suck it all in; it was a flattering cut for my curvy figure with emphasis on creating a waistline. The pattern is funky yet the cut is sophisticated; this is a great option for someone looking for a unique dress that will make an understated statement. Due to the density of the fabric I do not recommend this dress for hot weather or intense dancing as it doesn't breathe and gets very warm!

Great fit, perfect for hourglass figure and so super flattering. Color and fabric were really great as well!

This dress was fabulous. Very well made & fit perfectly. Very slimming, especially in the tummy area. I would have loved to keep this dress.

Very comfortable and hugged in the right places. Easy to dance in! The 10 was a bit big in the back, but not so much that the fit was compromised. The length and the sleeves were fine. I loved wearing it!

I loved that it had a little bit of stretch to it. Zipper was a little tough around the waist area but not after I ran it a couple times. I wore this to an interview and it was the perfect length. Will rent again from this designer!

Fit perfectly, I'm either a 2-4 and the 2 fit perfectly without being too snug. Received many compliments at the wedding, would highly recommend!

It was a great dress though I wish I would have ordered the size 4 instead of the size 0 for comparison's sake. The size 2 fit well everywhere but the shoulders - it was pretty tight. The biggest problem was the zipper. It was almost impossible to get up or down by yourself. I had to enlist a friend to zip it up and a neighbor to pull it down! So make sure someone else is home! I liked this dress but I've LOVED others more.

Sent to me as a back-up. Was a little longer than I usually like. The fit was perfect and the purple was very pretty.

I loved this dress and would consider renting it again. I wore it to a summer night wedding but its more of winter dress since the material is heavy and dark. Its very flattering and the accent lines hit in all the right places!

I sized down and ended up wearing the smaller size because I liked the tighter fit, but both the 2 and the 4 fit well. This was perfect for a work party!

Very fitted, but flattering.

This dress for like a glove and have that old time pin up feel. The only thing I would complain about it the hem on the bottom of the dress was falling which was kind of a pain. Other then that, it fit the affair well.

Fantastic color and design. Great fit. Not too tight, just the right amount of give. The material is very stretchy, so it is very forgiving. Overall, I really recommend this dress. It's a great variation on the LBD.

Wore to dessert /champagne party the night before my friend's wedding. People loved the dress, I loved the dress. My only issue is the fabric is scratchy. Otherwise amazing :)

What a great dress! I'm currently between a 10 and 12 dress size. This dress was actually my back up, but I loved it so much that I decided to wear it! The dress is fitted and it was very comfortable. It is not lined but I wore shape wear underneath. The design is very flattering the way the paneling of the purple meets the black. I would rent this dress again. Great first experience with Rent the Runway!

I'm usually an 8 but rented a 10 bc I had another dress from this designer run small. This was much more true to size and an 8 would have for perfectly. So comfortable and easy to move in. I had so many compliments!

The dress is the perfect mix of comfortable and classy. The fabric is of high quality and looks pitch perfect--even better than the pictures. Because it is so stretchy, make your alternate size one down from what you normally wear. It actually stretches out relatively fast and lost its shape a little bit at the bottom hem (but wasn't noticeable from other people's vantage point, just from above). This is a little more conservative and although it has a little sheen, it's not the most daring piece. Nice for business events or for the more body con dresser.

I received so many compliments on the dress. It was so comfortable to wear all night. I was really worried that I was going to need a size 4 since I didn't really know my new size since having a baby but the 2 fit perfect. I might have even been able to pull off a size 0 but the 2 fit great. The only con was the hem was already coming apart when it arrived. It was held in a few spots and I thought it would make it through the night but as soon as I got out of the car one stitch popped and a small section of hem came undone. Would have bugged me but the section that popped was the black part so I just took one bobby pin out of my hair and slid it over the loose hem. Worked like a charm. I would defiantly rent this dress again.

I loved the way this dress looked on me, and I received tons of compliments on it at my work event. The material is thick enough to communicate its quality and also skim over problem areas. I felt sexy in it but also professional. I *did* wear a Spanx with it, and that helped smooth things out a bit as well. The only thing I was a tiny bit disappointed in was that it wasn't lined. For this expensive of a dress, I would assume it would have some sort of lining. I had to wear a slip. Overall, a great wear!

I wore this dress for a military graduation. It fit me and the event perfectly. The fabric is a good quality and it is well tailored. If you are looking for a reliable dress this one will work!

this was a very pretty dress in person and fit very nice but just wasn't the right fit. Which was a shame since its super cute.

I'm 5'0" 135 lbs so its always challenging!

As a big Prince fan, this dress was calling out to me. I wore to a work holiday party. The 0 fit in almost every way and would've been fine if it were all I had, but it was skin tight in the backside area - too tight for this conservative affair - so I was more comfortable wearing my backup size, the 2. I also wore with a padded brassiere and control top tights. The model's picture doesn't do any justice to the beautiful black jacquard detail - I was complimented quite a bit on this. I would be happy to rent this dress again. R the R is such an innovative and helpful service. Dress shopping at the mall was once a huge drag, and an expensive ordeal, but I will probably only rarely buy dresses now that R the R is on the scene.

I love this dress ! I had a religious wedding and I needed something modest so I chose this dress. I normally wear size 8 or 10 dresses. I wore the size 8 and it fit perfectly! It was super comfy and I loved the color. I was able to sit comfortably and dance around in this dress. I highly recommend! I got soo many compliments!

I rented this free birthday dress to wear to work. It fit our conservative dress code, not too short and was super comfortable and figure flattering. The material is on the thicker side, I wore it to an after work dinner and received many compliments at work and at dinner. There is a little bit of stretch, so it just fit like a glove.

I was asked to give a keynote address for the Board of Directors of a medical school. I felt feminine, attractive, powerful, and confident. It was just right for standing out while still being dressed professionally.

This dress was beautiful. Ran true to size but the bust area was a bit snug, as I would have imagined. The purple area had a beautiful sheen that really stood out and made the dress classy for a formal event! Great dress for someone that has a larger bust and wants to wear a sexy dress without showing cleavage. Will def rent again!

The color and design was very unique and professional

Wore this for a wedding. I could have worn the 10, but chose to wear the 12 to be a little more comfy. Got lots of compliments. Unfortunately for me, someone was also wearing this dress at the wedding

I wore this dress to a brunch for my Mardi Gras Krewe. I chose it because it was purple, and it looked daytime without being work-y or church-y, and it was dressy without being fancy. It was perfect for the occasion, and I got a lot of compliments. It was much more flattering than I expected it to be. The photo makes it look a-line and fairly loose, but it was close-fitting and really accentuated my waist and showed off my curves. My only complaint is that the brocade fabric panel feels a little more cheap than it looks. The fabric overall was not what I was expecting. It was definitely thinner and stretchier, which wasn't a bad thing...just something to be aware of.

I wore this dress to a company holiday party - the color, fit, and material made it the perfect dress for the occasion. There was a subtle hint of sparkle, but it was executed in a very tasteful way. It was formfitting, but still appropriate for wearing around my co-workers while still maintaining the attention of my date, and being super comfortable.

I rented this dress for my work holiday party. I ended up wearing my back up size of 8 to the party, but the 6 fit as well. I wore the 6 during the day with a blazer and black pumps to a conference and then later that night with boots and a jacket. I wore the 8 to the party with tights and dressier pumps (which I didn't get a picture of). It was a fun dress...kept it classy for a work party, but still added a little touch of shimmer. Classy is sexy too, and I felt great in this dress, got lots of compliments and had a very fun time in it :-).

I only give it a 4 star rating instead of 5 because of the scratchiness of the dress. The purple fabric on the dress irritates your skin but other than that it's amazing. Fits true to size and holds everything together. Good length for a dinner and the sleeves are proportional to the dress instead of tight like some can get. I have a full bust and it was a bit snug but not uncomfortable.

Fit was perfect. True to size, hits right above the knee. I wore this to a school event so I wanted something conservative and this hit the mark. Plus the stretch and panels kept it sexy. Only drawback is it doesn't have a lining.

I had issues with the other dresses I had rented, one was a bit too snug (and I only received one size for some reason) and the other had an extremely sticky side zipper making it super hard to zip up at the waist and I was quite nervous it could break while trying to zip it before the wedding. I was in a bit of a panic but RTR offered me another dress and shipped it overnight to the hotel where we were staying for the wedding. It was there when we checked in and happy to say, the 10 fit me perfect, maybe could have gotten in the 8 since the black fabric stretches but overall, the 10 was very comfortable and easy to wear. I also loved the bit of a sleeve on a January evening in the NE. The jewelry I rented looked great, I didn't wear all the bangles because they were pretty noisy but the three I did wear was plenty. I added my own sheer black scarf and let it flow down the back of the dress for an extra bit of flair. RTR was super easy to deal with!

I rented this dress for NYE at the restaurant where I work as maître d', and the dress was perfect for the night. It is festive and shimmery, while also being conservative enough for work. The waist and the top fit just right, though the skirt was a little snug. Still, its length (it hit just above the knee) kept it classy.

The fit was snug but it was exactly how it was supposed to fit. This dress is great and it saved me from having to buy an entire outfit.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I LOVE this dress! It was so flattering--especially for this 43 year old mom and the colors were so intense and rich....much more so than appeared online. I wore this for a political event at the Four Seasons...a dinner for the Speaker of the House. It was important to look classy and elegant and this dress allowed exactly that. I'm 5 '8 and feared this dress would be too short but it was perfect. I live in New England and this event was in December...so I wore SPANX tights to keep worm and keep everything where it needed to be! : ) This dress was ideal and I can't wait to rent again!

flattering cut and looked great on. Not too tight or too short; subtlety sexy. It works great for something a little more professional or a party where you don't want to be too flashy.

Very flattering overall, the black paneling is very slimming. Got a ton of compliments, would definitely consider renting this same style again in the future. Sleeve length was great--long enough to cover problem areas. Very comfortable!
