Order 8 if you are a 4

Super snug in an 8. Looked amazing. Very thick fabric so you don't need Spanx. Sleeve hem long so I just folded up and worked well. Will rent again.

Great design

Very form fitting, almost like a pencil dress. The 8 fit me well, 5'6, 135 lbs. felt a little tight at times but I liked the length for sitting and walking upstairs. Great pick for a cold weather event.

Cute Sheath!

Material and colors were perfect. The bottom of the dress was a bit snug for this hourglass, no back slit. Very flattering, would order 1size up for my body shape.

Felt like Mad Men girl

Pretty damn tight, with spanx panty hose and black heels this dress was a killer - waist wasn't defined (for all that small size) so I added a thin waist belt and got tons of compliments

Structured perfect fall dress for work

This fit great and looked good. The only problem is that there's no slit in the back of the skirt, which makes it a little difficult to walk as it shortens your stride.

Good work dress

This dress is a nice dress for work but if you have an hourglass body, the dress gaps at the waist and the material folds over. I would recommend this dress for those that do not have an hourglass figure.

The sleeves are so big and the dress is so small

I just can't understand why the sleeves are so long! You would have to roll them up. Weird. Lovely cold weather fabric and winter print, but the dress runs ultra small.

Better than photo but odd fit

I love this dress and have rented it multiple times. But it is a very strange fit. Really tight across chest for me but yet big in the shoulders. Sleeves are quite long too. I have to wear a fur vest with it to disguise the oddness of fit. But it's got nice stretch and the subtle pattern is lovely. It's a go-to holiday dress for me

Got compliments. Very nice fabric.

I really liked this dress, and I received compliments. It was a little tight on my hips (hourglass figure 38-29-41), but I don't think I could size up considering the waist. It was comfortable, but I had to pull it down several times during the day. If it weren't for that detail, I would have probably purchased the dress.

Super small

I'm usually a 4 or 6 in dresses, and rented an 8 because other reviews said this ran small. Wish I'd gotten a 10! The 8 fits but there is absolutely zero stretch and the neckline kind of chokes. It's too bad because it's very flattering and a great look, but very uncomfortable.

Great dress, unless you have to use the bathroom

The dress it great. Runs small, so size up to get a great fit. Nice thick fabric. However, the bottom has no slit and is tight...which means when nature calls, you gotta unzip and take the dress down and sleeves off-so that's a pain in the ass. But really nice dress otherwise.

Too Small

This was very tight on hips and butt. I typically wear a 4. This was not as stretchy as I expected and not comfortable to wear to work. I'd order a larger size next time if I ordered again.

The dress is not made for hips

I really wanted to love this dress, but it is made for very narrow hips. I ordered up and it fit perfectly on top but was extremely snug on the bottom. Got through one day and sent it back!

Too small

I have worn other Black Halo items and am a size 4 in those. I tried this dress but it was uncomfortably tight. I did not end up wearing it. I should have gone up one size and would consider renting again but the size is not currently available.

Perfect work dress

Loved this structured dress and received many compliments. The long sleeves were a nice change and surprisingly they were not short or snug on my 5'9" frame. I wear a 4 in pretty much every dress on RTR except Black Halo. I always size up to a 6 in this brand and it fits perfect.

I wore this for a business meeting with heels and tights.

Beautiful dress! It was just a little snug but not where I felt like I couldn’t move or uncomfortable. If you’re between sizes, definitely go up. I highly recommend!!

Sexy yet work-appropriate

Very form-fitting and flattering. Pretty tight but still work appropriate. Love that it has long sleeves and is thick enough material for cold weather when paired with warm tights and boots.

The dress fit, but was snug on my hips. It felt great. Loved the material and structure!

If you go between sizes, then get the larger size.

Amazing slimming dress

Loved everything about this dress. Fit true to size and I felt sucked in and comfortable even though the dress was tight. Shoulders have a little great detail. Looked good with tights and booties for the office and event after.

Really pretty but too small

I really wanted to wear this but it was too small. I'm going to get it again in a size 6 because I think it's well made and quite form fitting. Conservative but also fun for a night out.

Chic but small

This is a very elegant work-appropriate dress, but I didn't end up wearing it because it runs small and I felt like I'd have to take it off every time I used the bathroom. The fabric was thick but more comfortable than I'd expected.

Nice Dress

I opted for a size 4 in this dress based on reviews, but it is definitely tight, wearable, but tight. I almost always wear a 4 in most brands with the exception of Reformation and HVN where I wear a 6. If you like stuff tight, stick with your size, if not, you may want to size up.
