Classic and Beautiful Black Dress

This dress was a perfect choice for a chilly January wedding. The material was thick without being too heavy and clung to all of the right curves, but in a very forgiving way (hiding the tummy area well). The off-shoulder look paired with sleeves is a very sexy but classy look and you can accessorize this in so many different ways - I went with gold and glass but colors would also work well with this. The dress was shorter than I expected but, with the 4 inch heel, this was not a huge issue. My biggest "complaint" was the difficulty with putting on - definitely requires two people for zipping up the back. Would definitely wear again!

This dress was amazing, i could not have gotten something better

The dress fit perfect the length was great I am 5’10” and weight 120 lbs. The fabric was heavy enough that i was not freezing as it was in the 40s although i did wear a coat from the car to the event.

The fit was amazing!

I loved the fit of this dress - it has so much give in all the right places and made me feel beautiful and comfortable all night. I was a guest but also coordinating the wedding so I wanted something I could feel great in all night. This was the right dress for that! I normally wear an 18 and that's what I ordered. Fit beautifully and I was complemented all night on the dress. It's just stunning.

Gorgeous dress, got so many compliments

Fitted bodice - I had to wear the larger size to be comfortable around my ribcage. You can't lift your arms with the sleeves but they stayed all night and didn't move. Wish I could have kept the dress and would definitely rent again.

This dress was amazing. It was so flattering and comfortable I felt great in this stunning dress!

I'm in between sizes and ordered both the 8 and 10 and ending up wearing the 10 because that was the only one that could be sent to me in time for my event. There was a big snow storm that delayed my order but RTR bent over backwards to make sure that I had a gown in time for my event. I had to wear spanx to smooth out everything along with a strapless bra for extra lift and support. Great dress that will make you feel even better!

Awesome Dress!!!!

This dress is great for us ladies with large breast. So comfortable and I was not tugging at the dress pulling it up all night, the wires in the top part of the dress help hold large breast up. This will be my second time ordering.

Dress worked well for my body type. I was concerned about being off the shoulder, but it worked!

Great fit! My only concern was that I am heavy chested. I wore a strapless bra, but do wish there was a bit more "help" in the chest area (if you get my drift).

Beautiful dress! Easy process

This dress was perfect and the exact look i was going for, for a black tie, heart ball. The dress fit great but after dancing i had to continue to pull up. But i am pretty small chested. I felt the two fit perfect but i could have worn a 0 but had a 4 as my back up. This dress very forgiving if your tummy is your problem area. I am 5'8 so i made sure to get long. And it was very long even with my 2-3 inch heels. I would order this again and would love to purchase.

Elegant and classy

I'm 5'2" and with heels, it was a touch long. The 12 fit comfortably. I could have maybe gotten away a 10, but the 12 fit nicely. The sleeves were more like a 3/4 length which was perfect for a November wedding. Very flattering fit! Classy and just a touch of sexy.

This dress was so flattering and comfortable! I ended up going with the size 6R because it was more comfortable but I could have worn the 4R as well. I wore it to a charity gala and got lots of compliments all night! Will use this service again soon!

Very comfortable! Wish it was longer, with my height and heels the dress just hit my ankles. Wore spanks under but no bra as it has extra lining and support in the chest.

How to wear black, and still stand out!

Wore this to a Black Tie Awards Ceremony for work... very classy. Only thing I was surprised by was the *weight* of the material. It's very thick, and can hang on you heavy... and it gets warm in there. Glad I got the long version, because it fit perfectly. Love the detailing on the back... but was a tad annoyed by the tail. While it's pretty in theory... everyone seems to step on it!

Pregnancy friendly if you size up!

Lovely dress, fit like a glove. I got tons of compliments. It has a good amount of stretch to fit a bump! However there is a built in corset in the bust.

The fabric is very forgiving. I wore 3 inch heels and the dress hit right at the floor. It was very classy, traditional and classic. Would definitely wear again!

So comfy- fit so well. I'm hoping it's still here for the wedding I'm in next year!

It is stretchy so it's tight to the body and very flattering. The off the shoulder effortlessly stays off the shoulder so there is no weird readjusting.

Great fit, comfortable and true to size!

I order and 8R and 6R. I ended up wearing the 6R, the boning in the chest area of the 8R was poking my skin. (It May have been worn 1 to many times) I am 5'6 approx 145 lbs, if you are any taller I would rent the long. This dress has a little bit of a train in the back and runched material for a flattering fit. The only con I could think of was due to the style of the arms i could not lift my arms easily so it was a bit constricting in that area. Def recommend this dress!

This dress was stunning. Amazing fit, received many compliments.

The size 6R fit great, so comfortable. The back dragged just the right amount. The back up size 4 was fine as well, just a little snug in the arms, so I went with the 6. I wore this to a black tie and it was absolutely perfect. Love RTR, they make it so easy to look great!

This dress is one of those timeless, classic dresses sure to play up your natural beauty.

I am 5'11" and the long was still not quite long enough. ... The bust was tight. The 12 wouldn't even zip up. I wear a 36D and had to wear a minimizing bra to zip up the 14. ... The boning in the bodice keeps it from looking too casual and their is "sticky" lining around the top to keep the dress from slipping down. .... The arms fit fine and the rest of the dress was very comfortable!!!

I needed a dress for a wedding last minute because I hated what I had. This dressed was amazing!

This dress fit like a glove! I wore the size 0R. It was everything I thought it would be. The length was a little too long in the back but wasn't a big deal. Everyone said it looked great on me, I will definitely use rent the runway for another event.

This dress is truly stunning. It shows off figure without emphasizing problem areas. Stunning!

I could have worn the 4 or 6 but the 4 showed my curves a little more so I went with that. It feels amazing on and the neckline is am truly stunning. I absolutely loved this dress. I'm 5'10 and wore 5" heels and he dress was just shy of floor length so don't get a Long unless you are tall and planning on wearing heels. Wore a standard strapless bra which was great!

Great Dress

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding. I ordered the 2R and 4R as my backup. The 2R was perfect! When I took the dress out of the bag it was heavy to hold but once I had it on it was so light and super easy to walk in. The bottom of the dress has a very small train in the back but it wasn't in the way at all. I just picked it up to carry when I was outside so it wouldn't get dirty. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was the top because I am small busted. The top of the dress has a vertical wire to help fill the top out so the wire pointed outward slightly (I was the only one that could tell though) the wire was flexible so I was able to bend it so it fit comfortably. Over all this was a great dress. I got tons of compliments and I was so comfortable!
