perfect dress for a black tie gala

It was a fabulous fit, made me look so voluptuous and slender. Very flattering fabric, and accentuated the bust area great :) Only complaint was that I was constantly adjusting the top, but otherwise it was a winner!

Wore to a casino night.

Quite form fitting through the body and legs. A little looser in the top. Then again, I am an apple shape, so that might just be me. Great vibrant gold color. Would rent again.

I got so many compliments! I felt great in the dress!

The dress was different in a good way! It does run small so I ordered the 6 and 8 and wore the 8. I even fit into a four at times. I had to keep pulling the top up during the night but that happens with strapless. If I went the size down, I think the hip area would have been uncomfortable. People kept asking about the dress- people my age (30's) older, women, men. I will absolutely be renting again from Rent the Runway!

Tons of compliments.

Loved this dress. It is a tight fit with almost no give. I would recommend sizing up.

The dress was perfect a little uncomfortable in the breast area. I fixed it by putting some double tape and it hold up better.

This dress was really beautiful! I was so excited to wear it. I got non stop compliments all night!

This dress does fit like a glove, but it hides any imperfections that you may have. I did use some fashion tape and taped the top part to my bra to keep the dress in place. It stayed all night without any needed adjustment. I wore brushed gold accessories and finally was able to find champagne heels to match. I loved it so much and have already reserved it for another wedding I am going to in August.

This dress is beautiful! Unlike anything else as far as the construction with the ribbons

This dress is TIGHT!!!!! I couldn't wear a bra with it, definitely size up if you are well endowed. I could fit my toosh and hips in the 4, but no chance to fit my chest--had to wear the 6, and I'm only a B cup! Overall beautiful dress, unique, tons of compliments, real standout at black tie optional wedding. One piece of advice, in my picture (after 3 hours of dancing) you can see the liner popping out on top. The best way to keep it down is to make sure to pull down from the inside the liner with the boning so it is closer to your waist, and pull the outer layer up. Nearly impossible to keep the hanger ribbons in, if I owned this dress I would've removed them. Beautiful dress! Worth the hassle!

Loved this dress! Perfect for a cocktail party or formal event!

I ordered both a size 2 and 4 and I actually thought the size 2 felt roomier so I ended up wearing the 2. The dress is definitely tight everywhere but the way the piping / pattern lays on the dress it is very flattering. Having a small upper body, I appreciated how fitted it was on top. Have no complaints about the dress except I felt like I was pulling it up often during the night.

I wore this to a cocktail party.

The dress was great. Fit was a bit tight, but it helped suck everything in. Unlike most strapless dresses, you won't be tugging it up all night. Loved it. Looked like a much more expensive dress.

fundraiser for a great cause

This was my first RTR experience! I was so impressed and am hooked. Great service, quick shipping, cute branding! This dress was gorgeous! It fits like a glove! The 6 was definitely snug but the 8 was too loose in the bust so I went with a 6. I did wear spanx as it made the dress look more sleek. I have athletic, large calves and have a hard time finding shorter dresses that are flattering. This dress was perfect.

I wore this to a holiday ball and I received compliments all night long.

I usually wear a 0 but read the reviews and ended up in a 4. The dress fit like a glove except in the butt but the fabric wasn't too loose.

Very happy with my first RTR experience!

This was my first RTR experience and I was really happy with the whole experience. I was sent a size 4 and size 6, along with the earrings and gold bangles. The order even came in a day earlier than expected. The size 6 fit like a glove- more snug on my behind, and a little looser on the top. If I could re-do my order, I would have liked to see how the size 8 fit, but overall, no complaints and I received many compliments throughout the night.

I found a picture of this dress online and wanted it for my 50th birthday party. It was a hit!

After reading reviews that the dress runs small, I lost 22 pounds hoping it would fit. It was snug, and took my mom and my 2 daughters to zip it up. It was the SECOND of two RTR dress that I wore at my party. The guests loved it. I was little concerned about the top as I am heavy chested, but it worked. I was able to dance the night away and have a wonderful time. THANK YOU RTR for making my 50th birthday so special and helping me look so fabulous!

Turned heads all night!

I rented this dress for me and my husbands anniversary dinner because one of my wedding colors was champagne. The dress looked great on. It is form fitting but still pretty much true to size. I still have a little pooch from my last child and wore a wait cincher and you could not see the closure line through the dress which I appreciated.

The dress was fitted but not a stretchy material. It deff looks better In person and for those with a bigger bust it does fall down a little at the top.

This dress got tons of compliments. It is very flattering and looks great in pics! Runs small

I wore to a fundraiser and got tons of compliments. The pictures are great from the night. This dress definitely runs small. One or two sizes depending on where you have your heaviest part. I am large chested and usually wear a 4 or 6. The 8 was TIGHT but good because it helped keep my boobs up! Loved this dress and wish I owned it!

Wow, what a beautiful dress! Runs Small. Ordered the two and the four. The two fit fine but was very fitted and I am not a fan of the squished boob look so I went with the four which was a little big in some areas but was overall more conformable for the long night I had ahead. I was very happy to have rented this dress.

The dress fit like a glove. I was nervous because everyone said the dress ran small and the larger size was not available but the fit was perfect. It definitely was a chore to get into but one on was super comfortable and looked amazing.

My husband could not take his eyes off me!

I rented this dress for our Estes Park, Stanley Hotel Anniversary getaway. After reading the reviews I was a bit nervous as I usually wear a 10 but so many women went up 1 and even 2 sizes on this dress. The only size they had was the 12 so I rented that. It was pretty snug and walking up the stairs was "interesting" but the material is pretty heavy which holds everything in nicely. I received compliments literally within minutes of stepping out of our room and continued to get them all night. This is a classy but super sexy little dress and I would rent it again in a second.

The RTR showroom! The staff was incredible & I was able to try on dresses before purchasing!

I absolutely love how this dress looked on me... I'm a slim, female who usually wears a size 0 or XS in most dresses but I preferred the size 2 since the bottom area was a bit tighter on the size 0. I attended my cousin's wedding and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to WOW everyone as I am a fashion industry professional and tend to dress up on a daily basis! So it was really important for me to be able to look very glamorous yet a step above my everyday look! I felt so comfortable in my dress and instead of being "too matchy" with my footwear and accessories, I decided to get gold & turquoise earrings and necklace, turquoise heels and black and gold clutch to create a contrast of colors!... Returning the dress was super easy and the entire experience left me feeling beyond pleased! I can't wait to rent another dress from RTR in the near future!

Loved this dress! It's well constructed and actually smooths out the midsection!

This dress runs very small. I normally wear dress size 4 to 6 and ended up wearing a size 8, which fit perfectly. Fortunately the dress is made really well and cinches in the waist while still being comfortable. No Spanx required :)

Unique, beautiful dress!

I wore this dress to a 1900 to 1920's theme wedding. I got lots of compliments on the dress. It is classy and stunning, and unique from all others. This dress runs small. I typically wear a 0 or 2, but I wore a size 4 with this particular dress. I loved this dress and hated to return it!

The perfect dress- I thought about RTR 2 days before my event and they made it happen.

For my business dinner with my husband that was at the same time a special date night for us. I wanted to look the part as his wife meeting the owner of the restaurant that could be our new client. I really am so happy to have worn this dress it hugs your body in all the right places, it's classy but sexy at the same time. Since my major surgery I gained about 12 pounds and I still don't know my new size. I rented size 2 but I wish I had the 4 as my second dress. I wore the 2 but it was very tight and since my bust is a D that was a issue however I made it work because I loved the dress. It has like a bustier inside and because the 2 didn't fit all the way it did hurt at times, so I was wishing the 4. None the less you won't regret renting this dress its amazing, futuristic, sleek, and felt expensive felt Grande.

The "Million Dollar Dress". Amazing!

I call this my "Million Dollar Dress" because it literally made me feel like a million dollars. Very well made and hugged every curve perfectly. Sexy and classy, it stood out in a sea of black dresses in Vegas. The fit is very small so make sure to size up 2 sizes. Also make sure to wear Spanx, as it will smooth everything out and give the perfect silhouette. Love RTR and this dress so much I might have to come back to it for another event!

Received compliments on the dress throughout the night. Fit snugly, and I do not recommend this to bigger busted girls since there is very minimal coverage on top.

I have never felt more glamorous. I received so many compliments!

I was so unbelievably pleased with this dress. I rented it for an event and received so many compliments on it--a stranger even stopped me on the street to tell me how beautiful it was! I agree with the other reviewers--it does run a bit small, but the next size up (8) wasn't available so I ordered my true size 6 and it fit perfectly. No need for Spanx, this dress hugs your curves and shows them off to the max! Great dress if you don't mind a little attention. I was sad to send it back!

Hot Dress!

This is a gorgeous dress! It's sexy, classy and sophisticated! I wore it to a dinner party in Miami at one of Miami's top restaurants and felt glamorous! I usually wear a 4 or a 6 but the material is fairly thick and it fits pretty tight! The thicker material compliments curves to create a really nice siloutte...Spanx not necessary. Since I wore the 8 the bust was a little deflated with my B cup size so I wore a strapless padded bra which complimented the fit. I would rent this again, loved it!

Beautiful Ribbon Dress for the Perfect Price to rent it at!

I originally wanted a bandage dress but they were all a little too out of my price range so I opted for this gem instead. I got a size 2 and 4 and ended up wearing the 4 and couldn't even fit a bra into it. I did wear spanx under the dress on my stomach just to hold everything in order since the dress has no pull or push and the event included dinner. I thought the length was perfect and I got a TON of compliments on it all night! Overall winner in my book!

Gorgeous dress!

This dress was just stunning! I would definately agree with a few of the other reviewers...this dress runs small. I am usually a size 4 and I ordered the 6 as my back up...I would have gone for the 8 if I had it. A great dress for standing and dancing - not so much for a dining event as the bodice is quite snug.

This might be my favorite RTR dress and that's saying a lot! My boyfriend could not stop staring!

I wore this for my sorority formal and received tons and tons of compliments. This is a SNUG dress, so definitely size up. It's obviously made to show off one's curves. I usually wear a 2, but a 4 served me well. I'm not big in the chest so I definitely had trouble keeping it up at first but tape quickly fixed that. I think this dress works best for athletic/curvy people in my opinion. I have muscular arms, legs, and a big booty and this dress hugged my curves in the best possible way. I can't get over how much I love this dress. I'd easily rent it again. :)

Unique dress that hides flaws, draws attention to the right areas. Sexy without being overt.

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding along with a long dress. I picked this one because I wasn't tripping on it and I could really move in it (to chase my two year old around the wedding). If fits small, especially in the waist and ribcage area. I usually wear a 0 or 2, I opted for a 4 and a 6 and wore the 6. I would like to have had the 8 as my backup as the 4 was really tight (although I could get it zipped with a little work). The cut is beautiful and the dress photographs so well from every angle. The criss-cross detail in the middle seems like it would draw attention to the belly area but the corseting inside the dress, along with the optical illusion really flattens everything out. My husband loved the dress and I got lots of complements on the unique style and sexy fit. I wore a shaper and a strapless underneath. I was glad I got the padded strapless because even though it was tight in the waist the very top of the dress was a little stretched out. Except for the pulling-it-up every once in a while (which I imagine is why the top was stretched) it was a good dress to dance and move in. I would definitely wear it to a black tie event again as it stood out from the long gowns but wasn't flashy enough to be considered too sexy or un-formal. My mother told me to purchase this dress immediately because she loved it so much.

A Truly Red Carpet Experience

I got the size 2 and as a back up 4. I ended up wearing the 4. It's a good thing that I tried the dress 2 days before the actual event because I was able to lose a few extra pounds to be able to fit into the 4. I normally wear a 4 but this one is kindda tight. In the end, it all worked out because it showed off all the curves that I never had. My straight-cut athletic pear-shaped body became an hour-glass in one night. I love the dress and I love the color too - showed off my tan perfectly. I felt glamorous the whole night. Love this dress!

So many compliments!

I am really glad I read all of the reviews because it definitely ran small. I went up a size and it fit perfect. It fits snug but it is nice as it acts like spanx all over! The color is great. I have never gotten that many compliments on a dress before. I would say it wouldn't be that great for someone with a large chest unless you wanted tons of cleavage. I have a very small chest and it fit perfect. I never had to pull it up even once. Awesome dress!

Great dress in every way!

This dress fit like a glove, which is not always easy for a 95-lb. 5'0" girl. I was looking for a longer dress for a black-tie wedding but couldn't find one that wasn't too long, so the stylist help me find this one. It definitely looks formal and I received a ton of compliments. It's a little stretchy which helps with the fit and though it was a bit longer on me than the model, I actually preferred it that way. It was also very comfortable and easy to dance in. No complaints here! Thanks RTR :)

LOVED this dress. Perfect for a NYE Wedding.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous, better than the stock photo! I felt so beautiful in it and would definitely recommend it. I was so sad to return it:( As far as size goes... I usually wear a size 0 or 2. I wore a size 2 in this dress which fit wonderfully everywhere except the bust (it was super tight). FYI- I used temporary hem tape to shorten the dress a few inches. Rent this dress- You will not be disappointed!! Just be sure to order a larger back up size if you have a larger chest and want it to be comfy.

Loved this dress!

It is definitely is a bandage dress, with some slight give to it. It is sexy and classy. Fit like a glove, highly recommend this! Nice boning built into the top part. This dress is definitely made for smaller busted women, I would say it wouldn't fit anyone larger than a full B cup or small C cup.
