Felt amazing

This dress is magical. The fabric is stretchy and comfortable, the sleeves don't fall down, no bra required... the best. Loved every minute in it!

Felt pretty, got tons of compliments! Lyric Opera's opening night performance of Macbeth.

Fit like a glove, added shapewear just to smooth things out. Top was a bit odd, that could have been the bra. If I had bought the dress I'd have had the top tailored, but it wasn't anything terrible. In 4-ish inch heels, the bottom of the dress was just off the ground. It was great to have this event as an excuse to dress up for the first time in a few years (baby+pandemic).

Worked for maternity black tie event

Wore 8 months pregnant and sized up. Didn't have a ton of stretch but was enough to fit comfortably. I wore a size 10 and am typically a size 6 prepregnancy.

Great dress! Rented last minute for a black-tie optional wedding and very glad I did.

I loved this dress! Runs true to size. I usually don't have too many problems with length but it was pretty long. I was wearing a (guessing) 2-2.5 inch heel and I could've used higher ones. The material is thick so I wouldn't wear it to a warm outdoor wedding but it was great for the fall. Some reviews said the sleeves were too tight - however, I didn't even notice that while dancing. I also went braless with no issues. Would rent again!

I got so many compliments, and it looked amazing. Some clothing tape was needed if your a little smaller up top, but I would totally rent it again. Classic and chic

Black-tie wedding!

As someone on the short side, this definitely was long. Wore with tall heels which helped. Tons of complements. It was perfectly appropriate for this black-tie wedding.

I didn't end up wearing this one because it was a little big in the chest, but it is long enough (I'm 5'11) with 3-4 inch heels and super slimming.

This dress was everything I could ask for. It was very elegant but also showed my figure.

The dress was fitted but very comfortable. I could sit down, get out of a car very easy! I didn’t feel restricted and was able to dance. I loved it! I wore it to the military ball. Also perfect length. I’m 5’6 and 140 lbs and got a 4R. It fit very well. (Sorry don’t have the best picture)

Wore to a gala at 20 weeks pregnant

This beautiful dress has a good amount of stretch to it, but probably could not have worn in my pre-pregnancy size past 25 weeks or so (based on my growth).

Fit like a glove! Simple and elegant.

After not loving the first dress I ordered, I spoke to a stylist over the phone and she overnighted this dress. The fit is flattering and it’s elegant and timeless. Considered buying it because it’s a great “go-to” gown for formal events.

Gorgeous dress and very elegant!

The 2L was perfect with 3 inch heels! My only issue was that the top area of the dress was a bit stretched out, but the rest of the dress fit perfectly. I am someone with a small waist and larger hips and the dress fit those areas nicely.

Comfortable, fit the occasion.

I normally wear a size 0. I weigh 113 lbs. and I'm 5'6. I wore the 0R and it fit perfectly! It was a little loose in the stomach area, but it was ok. I was able to get away with 3 inch heels becuase the dress was long and no one could see my shoes. My feet thanked me later that night.... Overall great gown, highly recommend. I wore it to a formal wedding at Mandarin Oriental in Manhattan.

The perfect classic dress

I wore this dress for an Army military ball and the whole process couldn't be either. I'm usually between a 4 and 6 so ordered both and ended up wearing the 4. It fit perfectly, length included. I wore 3 inch heels that had the dress ending right above the ground. The fabric and cut is very flattering. Also another bonus is the color is the exact color of Army's pants so if for an Army event, you'll match well. :) It does restrict your arm movements so don't get it for a dancing event but it's worth sacrificing your dance moves for a cute dress!

Perfect for a night in NOLA!

This dress was so comfortable and it packed well. I had an event in NOLA during a work conference that required a fancier dress, and this one was perfect! It is thick enough that wrinkles were not an issue, nor did I have to worry about a bra. You do have limited arm movement, but that is because this dress is off the shoulder, but really it is great!

Felt like a movie star in this gown.

I loved the off the shoulder style and fit of this dress. I felt absolutely beautiful in it. I could've worn the 10 or the 8 but felt most comfortable in the 10. Sizing is Pretty accurate. This dress is great for curvy girls.

This dress was comfortable, easy to walk in, and even though it's a thick fabric it didn't feel heavy on me. I love the off the shoulder look, so I think this dress is beautiful.

Wore for husbands USMC Ball and photo session the next day. LOVED IT, lots of compliments.

True to size- wore with flats and fell right to floor. If I would have worn heels it would have been too short (I’m 5”4).

Beautiful dress, lots of cinpliments.

4L was the perfect length for 5'8 with heels. The only hassle with the dress are the straps on which the dress hangs on the hanger - they kept coming out in all places (at the front, on the sides, etc). Using a safety pin to pin them down taught against the bodice on the inside did the trick. Also - the dress is gorgeous and perfect for pictures but movement in the arms is very restricted, so not the most ideal for dancing. Overall a great dress, and lots of compliments!

A beautiful dress for a beautiful event.

I actually rented this dress for a bridesmaid dress. I was really nervous about the fit because most of the reviews I read everyone said it had fit nicely, but the tallest person was 5’7. I’m 5’10 so finding clothes that are long enough is already a challenge. I ordered the 8L and it was definitely long enough. I even wore 1 1/2-2 in heels and it was still a good length. It was also true to size. Most dresses i had tried on before i tried size 8’s and so that’s what i went with and it worked out great. I got a ton of compliments and even someone wanted to rent the same dress for another wedding event. It was my first time using rent the runway and I will definitely use it again!

Great alternative to a black dress!

I got tons of compliments on this look! I felt like I could move freely and felt very comfortable all night long. In terms of fit, I found the bust (I'm a 36C) to be a little roomier than the hips (I have a booty). I could have used a 10 on top but went with a 12 for the hip.

Great dinner, awesome people, perfect dress

Dress is lighter in person, not a deep deep navy like in the picture. This worked out well for me, as I didn't clash with my group's black tuxes. If you're looking for navy, expect more of a muted royal blue. The fit was great, except it was roomy in the bust. It wasn't really a surprise to me. I'm small chested. The fabric is thick enough to hide most lumps and bumps, but beware the underwear lines. Motion is slightly restricted by arm bands, but you can do everything you'd expect to do at a black tie sit down dinner. No football throwing, but you're not completely useless. I wore 2 inch heels and the length was perfect. Would definitely order this dress for another formal event.

Great for a Nicer Event

Was doing a reading for a friends formal wedding, so wanted something more classic. Gorgeous dress and for many compliments. Does hug a little at the waist so prepare to size up and/ or wear spanx but ended up being so pretty and really loved the dress. First time renting the runway and would definitely do it again!

Easy Wear!

This dress was perfect for a formal event if you want to be comfortable. I am pear shaped 5'2 147 athletic body shape. I slipped on this dress with great shape wear and it looked fabulous. It was a little difficult getting it zipped but one I was in it that was just a faded memory. I danced the night away. Elegant, Simple,Classic look.

Simple, Elegant, Beautiful

This dress was gorgeous and I received so many compliments on it. I ordered the 4L and the 6L thinking I would probably wear the 6L since a 6 is what I typically wear, but my B-cup chest could not hold up the 6L. The 4L fit perfectly though and was long enough for me to wear 3 inch heels! I had no problems keeping it up and it was comfortable for dinner and light dancing. It is not a good dress to do the YMCA in though, because of the sleeves it is hard to lift your arms above your head. This wasn't a problem for me, so I didn't really notice. I would definitely recommend this dress! It was beautiful, comfortable and perfect for my event.
