I loved wearing this dress!!
The dress fit very well!! I had a great time in it! My only complaint is that the colors weren't as bright as I thought it would be.

Whoa loved this dress - fun and flattering!
This dress fit like a glove and I felt very glam for a black tie wedding. I wore the sleeves off the shoulder a bit to make it a bit more formal. It was comfortable and I got a ton of compliments. Recommend very much!!

Perfect dress for a day wedding.
This dress is very polished. The print makes it interesting and better for a party than for work unlike other Black Halo dresses. I wore it to a day wedding in NYC and felt perfectly dressed for the occasion. The dress is very fitted so shapewear helps create the right silhouette.

I received a lot of compliments. I love it!
The fit was perfect. This silhouette is great for my body type so I can't go wrong with it. I am 5'6 with a small upper body but bigger hips and booty.

Loved the service and the dress is gorgeous. I"m already planning my next RTR experience!
This dress was gorgeous- perfect for a fall wedding! Although it is very fitted, the fabric has some stretch so I was able to dance with no problem. The dress is dark blue, but I wore black tights and shoes and it looked great. The neckline is really unique and doesn't need any jewelry. I just wore a simple pearl bracelet.

Luxurious material and fit!
I rented this dress for my cousin's law school graduation. This is one of my favorite designers. The dresses are cut impeccably . I've since purchased other dresses from their line. The material is very thick, rich and snug fitting. It will flatter ANY body type. It's very forgiving, you don't have to worry about Spanx or having body imperfections show through the fabric. The material is very luxurious and wraps your body, the colors are bright and vibrant. I paired this with simple black pumps and pearls. Of course, like all RTR dresses, I got tons of compliments!

Stunning fit for stylish LA wedding parties
This dress was amazing. I have small bust and saddlebag things, so finding dresses that fit on top and bottom can be a trick. The bust was well-fitted, the torso wasn't quite long enough (the flare out over the butt started a little too high), but not enough that you could really see. Enough room in the stomach panel to sit down comfortably without feeling encased. I find the lower cut arm holes to be a good feature -- lots of air flow, which keeps a dress from getting sweat stains after repeated wearing. A well constructed dress, which fit me better than some that were tailor made for me. If I could find this pattern, I certainly would buy it.

I've never had so many compliments, nor have I had a dress fit me so perfectly! I felt amazing the whole night!
This dress was a fantastic fit. I've truly never worn a dress that complimented my hourglass figure so well-- in the time since I wore the dress, I've tried to find another dress that's comparable to buy for myself. No such luck. A great shape and such a fun print!

This dress was so perfect for my cousin's mountaintop wedding! The floral print and the pops of color were just enough.
Loved this dress! Ran true to size and was very comfortable! I have a petite, hourglass figure with a larger bust. It hugged all the right ways in all the right places :) I received MANY compliments and was totally happy with it overall.

Vintage chic!
Alissa (one of the Rent the Runway stylists) recommended this to me, after I requested a recommendation for a Mad Men-themed wine tasting event I have coming up. It is a great pick, it's so Mad Men-esque! I just tried it on and it has a great, classic silhouette--I won't even need to add a whole lot of accessories to get that retro look I'm going for. It didn't have that much "hanger appeal" for me, but looks amazing when you put it on. I love Black Halo because they have form-fitting silhouettes that hug your curves in the right spots and look sexy while still being classy. However, don't let the form-fitting thing scare you--while it runs smaller than my other favorite brands (i.e. Marchesa Notte and Badgley Mischka), the fabric is still relatively forgiving and has some stretch, so it's still comfortable (and you can breathe!) My only minor quibble is that the zipper is a bit hard to run up and down, but for how I look in this, I'll deal with that. The arm holes are also loose on me. I love how it looks on me overall though. It makes my waist look so tiny. The photo actually doesn't quite do it justice, the best part of the dress is the neckline--it doesn't lie flat like the photo, but actually pops up a bit and has an interesting, origami-like look to it. I'm also not sure how it would look on shorter women. I'm 5'4" and on me, it hits right below my knee. It's a longer hemline than I'm used to, but since I'm trying to dress for a 1960s theme party, I don't mind because then it'll look more authentic (and dresses back then tended to be longer). Worth a look!

Standing out in a crowd of red and green. A unique, classic dress!
I rented this for my office's Christmas party and it was I complete hit--I absolutely Loved this dress and received compliments on it all night. It is definitely a dark, nearly black, blue--but its dark enough that black nylons and black heels matched. The arm holes are a little low, and even though I tried to wear a cami underneath, the neckline is too unique to allow it, so be forewarned.(You can see this in the picture, which makes me cringe every time I look at the gap) However, despite the lower than appreciated arm holes the dress was fitted in a beautifully classic manner. A cardigan fixes the problem and is worth the rest of the dress.

Classic with just the right pop of color! Perfect for my night at the theater.
I typically wear a 2 or 4. This was my discounted "extra" dress so I could only order one size. For my night at the theater in NYC with my hubby, going small was definitely the best choice. The 2 fit snuggly enough to make a stately dress have just the right amount of sexiness and hug all the right places. I loved the dark color accented by the pop of bright floral, although the fabric does have an interesting texture and look-almost worn and faded. I was a little confused at first on what to do with the neckline, but ended up just letting it fall naturally instead of wearing the dress off the shoulders. It was perfect for my occasion.

I loved the dress! I was given many compliments, the best was watching my bf's eyes light up.
The dress was more of a navy than a black. I wore it with champagne colored shoes. It was hard to dance in because of the length, but I still got down. I run between a size 10 and an 8. This dress I had to use the 10 because it fit perfectly. The spanks helped, but I had to hike them up in the back b/c the slit went kind of high. I would rent this one again.

This dress has vintage character with a few modern twists.
This dress has a lot of character and makes a statement. The print is very pretty. The dress can be very flattering, but you should wear Spanx as this dress is body conscious. I am a short girl and this dress hit fairly low compared to the picture of the statuesque model on the website, but I expected that. I wore 3.5 inch heals and it looked very nice despite my short stature. This dress is a dark navy blue (NOT BLACK), but I paired this dress with black fishnet stockings and a black shoe and it looked very nice. This is not a dress you can easily dance in and it wrinkled a lot during the course of my evening wearing it, but overall I had a lot of fun wearing this dress.

I liked being able to look amazing for a fraction of the price at my graduation. Ladies, try RTR, you won't be disappointed!
I wore this dress to my Master's graduation and received lots of compliments. The 6 wasn't available so I rented a size 4 which happened to fit me perfectly! The dress did wrinkle easily but I was wearing a robe over it. I would like to rent another Black Halo dress in the future.

I tried it on but chose my other rental instead. I didn't like the material.
The dress fit true to size. I just thoughts the dress had some shine, but it was more of a faded look to it. Overall the style is flattering, but I just did not like the look for the party I was attending.

Beatuiful dress! Fitted and perfect!
I wanted this dress in a 4 or 6 but only 8 was available. I wore the 8 but it was very long on me and I used the double sided tape to tape up the bottom 4 inches so it would just cover my knee, like in the model photo. I think I could have defn. fit the 4 or 6 but I am busty on top and the top fit well, albeit loose. The seaming is SO well done and the dress was such a knockout. I went to Saks and tried on other Black Halo dresses -- they are all fabulous. Will rent this one again, but try for the correct size.

Pretty dress perfect for the work party I went to. Looked great on.
Fits small. I always wear a size 4 and I needed the 6, which fit well. I am tall and slim - 6' tall. The dress was a great length on me but the 4 was tight through the thighs and ribcage. The color is more like a faded black. Very pretty – I loved it!

Great dress! A little faded.
Dress had the perfect mix of stretch and hold -- stretched enough so I fit but felt structured enough that I didn't feel chubby or like I needed Spanx. Was pretty faded when I took it out of the bag, but no one else seemed to notice. Plenty of compliments at the fall wedding I wore it to!

This dress was so beautiful! I'd love to buy it. The fit was great. I did have to size up to fit my bust, but other than that, it was so elegant and I received lots of compliments. Hides what you want it to and accentuates all the good spots.

Beautiful dress!
Unfortunately the 8 was just a little too snug so I ended up going with a different dress from RTR. However, had this one fit, I would have worn it because I liked it so much better than my first choice. The material is beautiful. The dress is very fitted and the fabric does not give, so go up a size. I am a pretty true 8, but would have felt stuffed in this dress. A 10 would have been perfect. It is also very nice for full bust. I will rent this in a 10 for sure!!

Perfect dress for a bridal luncheon!
This was a perfect dress for my friends bridal luncheon. I received many compliments on the dress, which is always great! I'm 5'11 and this dress fit me perfectly, though I did have to go up a size as the dress runs a tad small. The color is indeed a deep blue, not black. I wore nude shoes with it and it was perfect.

I am a size 12 and highest size for RTR. The largest of this dress was a 10 but I loved the look so I thought I would take the risk. It didn't fit! I would suggest going up a size. The fabric was lovely with a nice sheen on it. The design is wonderful. Great for a garden party, summer or spring wedding or just a special night out.

Beautiful dress! I wore this for my bridal shower and got tons of compliments - everyone thought it was Dolce and Gabanna... I noted runs "small," but just a little bit. For comparison, I usually wear a 4/6 in Banana Republic dresses and I should have ordered the 6 in this dress. Thanks to Spanx, though, it looked awesome! Thanks RTR.

This beautiful dress was perfect for the Wedding Brunch I attended. Runs just a little bit on the small side, but the style is very forgiving. The background of the dress is more navy than black, but I wore black pumps that looked great. Very classic dress.

I loved this dress. It is definitely a dark navy, but had the perfect bright colors in the roses needed for an outdoor summer wedding. The length is a little longer than I expected and hit a little above my knee. I also got a size 6 which is what size I usually am and it fit like a glove. It was a great mix of classy and sexy. Loved it!

First of all, this dress is NAVY not black. It was beautiful and fit like a dream. I got SO many compliments. The sleeve holes were pretty large, so I actually wore it off the shoulder and it looked fantastic and no one knew the difference.

I ordered this dress as my back up to a theme function (Red Rose Ball). I liked it so much, I wore it instead. I was a little nervous, because the style remarks say only for tall gals, but I am so long waisted, I took a chance. It fit like a dream. The neck-line was beautiful. I paired it with vintage navy kidskin gloves, and red peep toe pumps for a 60's feel.

I rented this dress for a late afternoon work function where I had to MC the event. The dress was amazing - it looked much better on me than the picture on RTR. I had co-workers, family, and friends gushing over it all day. It is also very comfortable to wear. I got both the 0 and the 2, and ended up wearing the 0 (measuremnts: 32,24,35). I was sad to have to send it back.
