Classic and lovely

This dress was classic but not boring; the crepe bow and slit added interest and the heavy material made it feel comfortable and luxe.

Perfect gown!

This was my first RTR experience, and I was absolutely thrilled. I was anxious about sizing, but having two options was really nice. The dress itself was amazing! It was great quality, comfortable, gorgeous. I received many compliments all night. It also photographed really well.

Received complements all night..

I'm a size 6 in dresses and pants, the dress fit perfect in waist, but a bit tight in the bust. Went up a size for comfort. Dress is made of a stretchy material(not jersey knit) it was perfect to dance in.. Slit wasn't to high and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels..Loved the bow, it made a black dress unique.. I received a lot of compliments and people were impressed it was a rental..

Beautiful dress, even with a leg cast!

This is a beautiful dress and the bow adds just the right amount of drama without being gaudy, you just need a pair of statement earrings for a great look! The fabric is heavy so it covers a multitude of sins but it does run a bit small, luckily my backup size was the larger one! It's also tricky to get into so you may want to have help. I broke my leg 3 weeks before this event so I rented this dress to direct attention upwards away from the knee scooter I had to use and because of the slit in front so I could sweep the skirt off my knee and not have it bunch up. Worked beautifully and everyone was impressed I looked so elegant while rocking a leg cast!! Would definately rent this dress again, hopefully next time with two working legs!

Sexy yet classy!

This is a gorgeous figure hugging dress. Material is thick and makes the dress stay in shape beautifully on the body. I just had a baby 5 months ago and I felt like it was hiding at all the right places. I was so comfortable in it and got compliments all night. I loved this dress as compared to other long dresses is because it has a big bow in front and a long slit. So classy but Sexy.

This dress was classy and perfect for the formal wedding we attended!

I LOVED this dress and received many compliments on it! It fit true to size, was so comfy and a nice material that didn't bunch up or slouch down. It has a great built in bra and we danced all evening with no issues. I am about 5'5-5'6 and the 8R was the perfect length with 2in heels. The slit is really nice and doesn't come up too high. Con: My only complaint for this dress and the only reason I didn't give it 5stars is because the plastic 'wires' around the bust area were coming through the material and poking me. They are very sharp and I had to apply a bandaid to them to keep them from digging into my skin. I loved this experience and am planning on using RTR again in the future!

Beautiful and Comfortable Black Evening Dress

Loved this dress from the moment I put it on! Super flattering and comfortable. I could fit into both sizes but decided the 8 laid a little bit better up top. I have broad shoulders and ribs for my size so the 8 was more comfortable. If you want to show off your hour glass figure and still be able to dance, this is the dress.

Easy to Wear Dress - Classic

I ordered a 4R and a 6P. I could have worn both but the 6P was a little short and I liked that the 4 sucked me in a little more. I do think it runs large though as I'm a true 6. The petite length would have been good if I wore shorter heels but with 4 in heels it was about 2in off the ground and it looked weird. Otherwise, a very comfortable dress. Has a little stretch and moves with you.

Effortless and Comfortable!

Easy dress that looks great in photos and is comfortable to wear. I'm typically a 6 but the 8 fit best in the bust as the 6 produced arm pit fat and uni-boob. Best part is I didn't have to wear a bra; the dress never moved and still looked great. The zipper is tricky and you will think it is too small but it fits. You just have to hook the eye at the top and shift your boobs to the other side before you zip. Plenty of room. I was worried the bow would be obnoxiously big, but it was barely noticeable while wearing it. The only con was a separation of the seam in the hip that I had to sew up a bit to last the night. #masquerade #nospanx #nobra #classy

Fun and flirty

I loved this dress! Felt like a glamorous princess the entire night and received so many compliments. I ordered the 12 and 10 but chose to wear the 12 for comfort. The length was a little long but I'm only 5'4". I could easily dance the night away in this dress. Very comfortable.

Celebrating the Inauguration of our Governor.

I did not want to take this dress off once I put it on. The material was thick, snug and very figure flattering. I picked the perfect dress for me. I will certainly use RTR again, but it will be difficult to choose a dress other than this one.

Fab dress!

This dress is GORGEOUS! It hugs in all of the right places, doesn't fall down at the top where you have to pull up the dress all night, and the slit is sexy but not too high where you have to be careful when sitting down. I received tons of compliments on this dress....even from my husband who usually could care less either way.

Wore for a Formal Gala and made for an amazing night!

If you plan on wearing heels and are over 5'9" I would definitely suggest the long. I wore 3 inch heels with the dress and am 5'10" and made it perfect for dancing and making sure I did not step on the dress.

Perfect for a black tie or black tie optional event!

The fabric has some elasticity and has a bit of stretch so you don't feel liek it's too tight and can't move. The over-the-shoulder and the embellishments on the front were just enough without being too over the top.The slit on the side came up to the perfect length and doesn't reveal too much leg. It's appropriate for a work event or a wedding. I loved this dress and recommend it!

Perfect dress for a black tie event!

This was my backup dress, but since true to size, it fit perfectly. Material has some give, and was perfect for dancing. The bow and one shoulder add a fun twist to a boring black formal dress!

Sooo flattering!

Can't say enough great things about this dress! The 12L fit me like a glove, and I even wore a small wedge heel with it - so the length was perfect. The fabric is sooo smooth and stretchy. No spanx needed and I never felt like it was restricting. It was fitted but not tight and hugged all the right places. I received many compliments and loved my night in this dress!

Perfect last minute dress to look great without being too flashy

I am 5’3”, 130lbs, 36C/D, and an athletic build (typically a size 6). This dress was figure flattering and fit perfectly except it was snug on the chest (I had to work to zip it over the boob area). I would have preferred petite length, but I was in tall heels so the regular was fine. The black bow on the bust really dressed up an otherwise simple black dress, and it kept me from having too much cleavage falling out.

AMAZING DRESS!!

You guys. Y'all. Ladies. Listen. I got this dress as a free second look for being a first time RTR user. This wasn't my first choice and I didn't think the 14 (only size available, I wanted the 16) would even fit. I ended up wearing THIS one to a gala I went to! Omg. Wonderful fit, very sexy, super easy shipping/return process. Fit very true to size as I usually order 16 for formal dresses and wear a 14-16 in regular clothes. A 16 honestly still would have fit, but it wouldn't have hugged me like this. If you're shy about your curves then definitely go a size up. I was concerned about ordering from this site because I am a thick curvy girl but it's very body friendly and I felt soooo sexy in it. Strongly recommend this dress and this site is awesome, will be using again

Stunning dress

This dress is very good quality. I got lots of compliments. It did arrive with a few marks from the previous renter but thankfully could be rubbed off with a wet cloth. It was too small on the top. If you have a larger bust size up!

So beautifully made!

This dress is gorgeous. I had to use a hemming tape to make it short enough for me. I am 125lbs and 5'0. I wore 3.5 inch heels. The dress was loose, but because I was drinking and eating I was happy with the little more room by the end of the evening.

Wonderful take on your classic black dress. This dress does run a bit large and I could have likely worn a smaller size if there was one. Luickly it was not noticeable and just made the dress even eassier to dance in!

I received soo many compliments on this dress.

This dress was perfect. it had a body con material feel to it. it hugged in all the right places. i received so many compliments in this dress. I'm 5'2" and the length was perfect with my four inch heels. It did touch the ground, but again it was perfect. I am a DD and i loved the way my chest looked in this dress. I would definitely rent from here again, it was surely worth it and the return process was easy. Thank you Rent the Runway.
