Very easy to rent and return.

I wore this dress for a 1940's theme party. It looked great. I usually wear a size 2, but the 4 fit better. The top half of the dress runs small while the bottom half of the dress runs large. Would have rathered it be more form fitting in the skirt, the 2, but the top ran so small & I have broad shoulders I had to go with the 4. I'm 5'5" so the dress fell longer than on the model. Probably mid-calf. My measurements are 36", 27", 36", and a B cup. I hope this was helpful:)

Classy and clean! This dress is a great fit and will give you a tiny waist!

I LOVED this dress!!! The fit of the dress will give your body such a great shape. It has a structured fit which makes your waist look tiny. I really just loved how clean and put together this dress looked. It was a little snug throughout the ribcage (thats why I said it runs a little small). I will definitely be renting more Black Halo dresses in the future.

Amazing dress for a business networking event

This was my first time using rent the runway and I was extremely pleased with my dress selection. I got so many compliments that night. The dress did run a little small but it looks amazing on. It looks very professional and sexy.

I rented this dress along with another one for $25. It's great price for quality. Dresses arrived on time and it was just a very smooth experience for me! Will definitely be renting more! Love RTR!

I rented this dress to try out RTR and for no particular occasion. I wore it for work for a meeting. I absolutely loved the dress and it fit like a glove! I felt elegant and kinda made me look taller. I feel like renting it again!!!

The dress was perfect for both job interviews and a visit to the Magic Castle! The kind of dress you need to OWN <3

This dress is fantastic! I ordered a 2 and a 4 as my back up, worried the 2 would be tight based on other reviews. The 4 was large but the 2 was divine! The dress is beautifully constructed and fits like it was custom made. It's a little long but I purchased hem tape to bring it just below knee length. I wore the dress for job interviews, with a conservative heel and it was perfect. Wore it again later with sky high platform pumps for a totally different look. I would purchase this dress.

Elegant and classy.

Used this dress for my father in laws funeral. Very classy, loved the length and the collar. It was a bit tight in the ribcage and the belt had seen better days. I would give it 4 stars but the belt needed to be replaced.

I felt like a million bucks!

I wore this for a retirement party - the dress is just such a classic LBD but with some interesting structure. The overall fit was tighter than I would have preferred and I'm usually a a true 4. Overall, the dress was beautiful - I wore nude heels with it which in hindsight, was a mistake. Black heels would have been better - I made the nude choice due to the trend at the time and the fact that it was a daytime event.

Perfect for work event

I got a lot of compliments on this dress, which has a classic, flattering style. I work in a somewhat conservative industry and wore this to our holiday party. It was a great length on me, but I wonder if it might be a little long on someone shorter.

Great dress for a work cocktail event.

I'd say the only thing that makes the dress run a little small is that the zipper is a little rigid. I think I could have closed the 2, but I couldn't get the zipper to cooperate.

Wore this to a nice date night in San Fran. I wish I would have taken a picture - the neckline/shoulders are interesting and the waistline is flattering even though its tight fitting.

This dress was amazing. I received so many compliments. The neckline is very flattering. The 10 fit like a glove, probably closer to an 8.

The slit goes too high in the back, so be careful if you are renting this for a work or other professional function. It literally showed my bum, and I could not wear it to my function.

Being 6', I was worried about the length on this dress. But it was a perfect knee-length, just as shown on the model. At the time of my rental, only the size 10 was available and I am always an 8. So I took a chance and just as others have said, it does run small fit like a glove and I'm glad I went a size larger! It fits very snugly in the ribcage area, so beware if you're considering this dress. I wore it to a chic private dinner in New York and every person commented on how beautiful it was, especially the fit. Thanks Rent the Runway and don't forget to keep adding some knee-length wear for those of us over 40! Loved this one.

I have rented previously from RTR but never felt the need to write a review till with this dress that I'm actually thinking of purchasing if I can find it. I felt like Victoria Beckham in this dress, very sexy, flattens the tummy, gives you an amazing shape while hiding the little fat here and there. You want to feel classy, professional while keeping your sexiness and elegance this is the dress for you! 5/5 stars

This dress is fantastic! The info above says that the dress can run a bit small. They didn't have my back-up size, 10, available to rent, so I took the gamble that the 8 would fit. It was a bit tighter than I had hoped, but it still looked stunning!

The dress only runs small in the way that it is slim fitting. I fall between a 10 and a 12, and I'm curvy. The 10 was perfect for me. It was so slimming and gorgeous! I wore it for an interview paired with a tailored suit jacket, and it was perfect! Great dress, great experience!

I wore this dress to a graduation and I did not stop receiving compliments all night! Not to mention my boyfriend was blown away by how sexy AND conservative it was. He wishes I owned it! It fit perfectly but I am glad I got the second size for free seeing how the 2 was a little tight! Thanks RTR, I will rent again!

Talk about sexy sophistication! This is the perfect piece when you need a feminine but powerful look. And it cinches the waist for serious curves.

Great classic dress!

This is overall a great tasteful dress. I actually wore it for a funeral and it was perfect. I'm glad I got the size 2 as my extra size because it runs a little small. I'm pretty straight and narrow and the 0 wouldn't even zip. I probably could have gotten away with a 4. My only criticism is that I felt like the top part stretched out as the day wore on so I felt like I needed to pull it up. Also, a strapless bra is needed with this one.

I rented this dress for an event in a church and needed something conservative yet special.

The dress fits great. It was conservative yet still sexy. I was nervous I was going to have to constantly be pulling up the top so it wasn't too revealing but the neckline stayed in place, as did the sleeves. The only negative was that it didn't come with the belt, but luckily I had a belt that matched perfect! I would definitely recommend this dress and would rent it again!

Great customer service!

This was a back-up dress to one that was no longer in stock. It's a nice twist on the LBD, it fit well, ran true to size, but i stuck with my 1st choice dress for the event.

Not for Big Busts

I'm a zero with 34C bust. Larger bust than most with my frame. I could not zip this dress (side zip). It was a good inch from closing at the top. Very cute, but be aware if you're large chested. The rest fit well, not even snug (waist, hips, etc). Very cute though! Would have been perfect for my husbands awards dinner for work!
