Perfect little black dress. Didn't make me feel like I was wearing plus size.

Felt a little loose in the neck and waist area but other than that it was great!

Love!

Really easy dress to wear. I wore it out to dinner with friends. Was a little concerned it would be too dressy so paired with black suede books. You could easily wear this to a more formal cocktail affair. Loved. Fit well

Wanted to keep this!!

Loved this dress. It fit great and was comfortable. It has a really pretty purple shimmery under layer that peeks through the lace. Way prettier in person than in pictures

Great impulse rental.

I rented this dress on impulse because I wasn't 100% happy with the dress I bought for my daughter's bat mitzvah. I'm so happy I did. This dress was so fabulous for the event, it looked and felt great. I de-emphasized my bust, which I loved since I'm top heavy. It showed my figure, rather than a straight up and down sheath. It was just enough to be special for the special day, but not too much.

Comfortable and oh, so flattering!

I ordered this dress in a 16W as a hail mary, along with two other dresses in an 18W. (I am between sizes) Of the three, this is the one that both fit and was comfortable. The dress was very figure-flattering on a (VERY) pear shape, had just the right amount of sparkle, and was supremely comfortable for a semi-formal type wedding. It's a little thick (three layers of fabric), so may not be the best choice for an outdoor summer event, but was perfect with a scarf in an air-conditioned venue. I think this has become my favorite rental and may be my new go-to for all things semi-formal.

So fun

This dress was absolute perfection. Comfortable lace (no scratching your arms, skin, etc) and fit like a glove. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a dress on and have it fit as perfectly as this one did. Got several compliments and feel like this works for black tie or cocktail. Love love love. Would be happy to rent this again. Such a great first Rent The Runway experience!

Didn't end up wearing this one but so pretty and fits like a glove. You can't see that there's a sparkly thread in the underneath layer...really pretty in person!

Beautiful lace sheath!

It felt extremely luxurious to wear. It was so comfortable and moved with me all night. I received many compliments and felt very confident in the dress. There is a nice structured bodice that kept me with an hourglass figure all night!

Beautiful dress!

I got a lot of compliments on this dress - it looks 100% like its retail price. Really nice black lace over a lavender/pinkish sparkly sheath. The bust and waist are fitted, but more a-line through the hips, so very comfortable to wear. You could wear a normal bra with this or no bra at all - the black lace on the back is open and so pretty, so I wore a low-back long line bra so you wouldn't see any straps. The high neck is also very different. I would rent it again!

Classy Perfection!

I felt stunning and classy in this dress, which I wore to my work holiday party AND I loved so much I wore a gala the next night. I had to choose this dress last minte, since my other LBD dress was out of stock. I was nervous about the straight cut and mid-calf length, since I never look good in this style...BUT this dress had just a little curve which helped fit my pear-shape and the length is just below the knee for my short legs. I love the thick floral lace and gold under layer! I wish I could keep this one!

This dress was gorgeous and received many compliments all night. Very comfortable and true to size...if anything, rent a size down for your extra dress. It has just the right amount of sparkle, and the material is great.

The length was perfect for my duties as a chaperone for the senior prom. I wear a size 38DDD bra and the bust line fitted perfectly. I would definitely recommend this dress for any semi formal occasion-:)

The fit was great. The dress was a little longer than I thought but I neverrrr have that problem so I as ok with it. Loved the high neck. It was a little loose but again better than tight. Overall felt really comfortable and pretty all night.

This was a nice twist on a little black dress. Good details!

I typically wear between a size 6 and a size 8 it just depends on the styles, fabric, etc. of the dress. This dress in a size 6 fit perfectly. It was comfortable and the details on it made it a great dress for the charity event I wore it to.

This dress is made of a substantial fabric, and I found it very comfortable. It fit true to size, and has a nice shaping to it. The under layer is shiny and adds some interest to the black. Had lots of fun wearing it...would rent again!

Great for tall gals!

This was a last minute choice when I was told by the RTR stylist that my other choice had been returned damaged and was not available. I loved the length! I'm 5'11" and usually dresses are too short on me. I loved the weight of this dress. It was a little heavier, but made it nice that I didn't need uncomfortable underthings. ;) I liked the slight A-line of the skirt. The back is definitely sexy, but in a subtle way. Very happy with this dress!

Christmas Dinner at Fancy Restaurant

This dress is gorgeous! It's actually kind of thick and warm. The under layer has a gold shimmery design with the thick lace overlay. It is classic and a fantastic. Spin on the little black dress. Loved it.

So many compliments!

Absolutely loved this dress. It was beautiful and well made. The layer beneath the lace has a beautiful metallic pattern that shines through the lace and makes it extra luxe. It was a hit at the Christmas party. And it fit like a glove. Absolute perfection. My boyfriend LOVED it and didn't want me to return it! RTR never disappoints. So many dresses I want to try out but I might rent this one again later! It was everything I wanted.

I can't even begin to describe all of the reasons I loved this dress. From literally the zipper to the lace, it is amazing quality. The fit is perfect and I was comfortable all night. Would recommend it for any date night, party or black tie affair!

Fancy dress but very comfortable!!

I wore this dress to a formal wedding, and I was very pleased with it. I would definitely rent it again. The fabric was a bit thicker than I anticipated, but that worked out well because it was a bit cold at the wedding. I also thought it made the dress look a bit more formal than I anticipated. The dress was very comfortable but was still form fitting.

Easy!

This dress was a great rental. Perfect for evening wedding. The lace is beautiful and it has a mauve color lining underneath which you can't really see in picture but very pretty. I loved the conservative neckline and also the hem line. Easy to wear and move in. True to size but would definitely size up for you backup. I sized down and I could zip that one up.

So pretty and the pic doesn't do it justice. The fit was perfect and it was actually comfortable! I have a larger chest and it actually minimized me a bit, but comfortable (not uncomfortably tight feeling). Got compliments all nite and I want to rent it again!

Wonderful choice!

Loved this dress! So comfortable which was a bonus! Many compliments because of the shimmer (the slightly purple lining under the lace) no need for much jewelry the dress shines on its own. Could wear regular bra, length was just below the knee. A ver y classy yet sexy feel!

Classy, stunning, fun!

I love this dress. So so many compliments. I would buy it and wear it over and over if I could. The neckline is sophisticated and people kept comparing it to a Jackie Kennedy dress. So fun! I wore it for a big night, my husband was receiving an award, and it was perfect. Bust runs big, otherwise fit is spot on.

Gorgeous and even a little loose!

Wore this to a humane society gala. It's been in my "hearts" folder for a while, and I'm so glad I got it! Runs big, especially up top. Granted, I'm a B cup. I could've easily gone down to a 14 but it wasn't available, so I cinched it at the waist with an unassuming belt. Love love LOVE this dress!
