Association's 100-year anniversary!
I have a large bust, so the off-the-shoulder dress was hard to zip, but I was glad that it was snug when it was zipped. It fit very well and accuated my curves. Loved the unique pattern, and I received many compliments throughout the event. I also loved that it had sleeves, so I didn't freeze at the January event.

This dress is a showstopper! I ordered the size 6 and size 8 for my backup. I ended up going with the size 8 because the 6 was snug especially around the arms. Everything about this dress said classy and elegant. The dress was very comfortable to wear and I received compliments all night!

Beautiful dress for semi formal Mardi Gras gala
Beautiful and comfortable dress that hugged in all the right places but didn't cling. I felt elegant and festive. I could have worn the 4 or 6 but found the 6 to be more comfortable in the arms and hips. The material is thick enough that it is forgiving and doesn't really require spanx underneath although I wore them just to feel more secure. Highly recommend and compliments aplenty! True you can't raise your arms but our party was a dinner and auction so no worries there.

Cant lift arms
I’ll say it fit right for a size 4, I would’ve worn a 6. It zipped and fit fine, but the sleeves were very tight, and I couldn’t lift my arms past my shoulders. Not the best for hosting! But a stunning dress

Comically large
Even the smallest size was so big I couldn’t keep it physically on my body. The boning was warped in the back and curved in so I don’t know if I could have even worn it if it fit.

Beautiful NYE dress
I tried both size 0 and 2. My hips/butt are my biggest features, but surprisingly the size 0 still fit all over. It was actually tightest in the chest area. The size 2 was too loose in the chest area. I did not wear a bra. The sequins seemed to provide enough coverage. I am 5'5" and wore my comfy 2" heels. The dress might look better on someone a little taller than me due to the hemline.

Gorgeous off the shoulder stunner
This dress fit like a glove!! It was an absolute hit at my 20s themed NYE party! I was worried as Nicole Miller dresses sometimes run small, but the dress was snug on my shoulders and roomy in the arms, waist and hips. The 6 fit everywhere except for my chest (34D), but a woman with a smaller bra size could probably size down.

Formal and Chic
Wore this to an outdoor winter wedding. The sleeves were comfortable and I was still able to lift my arms to hold my baby and eat. The material is thick and forgiving. I wore the 8 to fit comfortably, I probably could have worn the 6 but didn't want it to be soo snug on me. The boning was sticking out on the chest so poked me a few times but not terrible. I got a handful of compliments from women of all ages ! I would definitely rent again!

Fit true to size, although back/hips loose maybe due to wear? Minimal accessories needed- great pair of heels and earrings, and a clutch did it. I received many compliments on fit, sparkle, and length.

When a stranger came up and complemented me
True to fit. I wear a 10 normally, I rented 10 and 12 and 12 felt like I could move and eat comfortably. I'm a 36DD, I almost felt like I didn't need a strapless bra because it was so right at the chest. Heavy material, definitely a winter dress. Sleeves were a bit loose on lower arms, not a big deal.

Stylist Review
I LOVE this elegant dress by Nicole Miller! Running true to size , I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted all around and gives you a nice classy look for any formal occasion. It works best for all cup sizes and can be worn with a strapless bra . At 5’2”, the length stops me at tea length and with a black color pair of heels will complete your outfit! Adding a nice handbag and light jewelry accessory will give it its fashionable touch.

Loved it.
It was a little long on me, but I'm 4'11" and didn't mind the extra length since I was attending a winter wedding in northwest Pennsylvania. Fit perfectly otherwise -- got a ton of compliments on the fit. Favorite design element is the neckline, hands-down. Was a bit nervous it'd be too Liberace for my event, but it was perfect.

Stunner in black and gold!
This dress was gorgeous and unlike anything else in the room. It fits like a glove, so expect it to hug every curve. However, it was easy to move and dance in - although a bit difficult to lift your arms overhead. Im a pear so the top could have been smaller, but it was hard to tell with this off the shoulder style.

I wore this dress for a black tie New Years party and it was the perfect combo of class and sequins.
I’m 5’4 and the dress hit below the knees/upper calves. I said the sizing runs a little small because there is no give in the material. If you want a tight fit then I recommend going with your true size but it’s you want a little room to move, I say size up. The sequins didn’t bother or rub my arms, the only issue I had was that I didn’t have full range of motion in the arms and shoulders because of the style of the dress. Overall I was happy with the dress and would rent again.

Wore this for hospital staff holiday party, tons of complements
I rented size 6 with 4 as backup, rent the runway for me has always fit me perfectly but 6 seemed to be baggy across my belly (and I do have a belly) it fit otherwise - so I wore the 4 which fit my belly perfectly but was a tiny tight in the arms. It was fine. Warning - this is definitely long - at least mid calf and I am 5'5". Those models must be really tall.

Elegant, dramatic, surprisingly comfy
This might be my favorite RTR dress yet. I wore it to the opera and it was bold and sparkly, yet somehow comfortable, even after sitting in sparkles for a long period of time. I'm usually a size 6 or 8, but the 6 was roomy. It might not be the best dress if you want to go dancing since the off-the-shoulder look limits the arm range of movement, but it's attention grabbing. I got compliments all night and wish I could keep it!

Compliments all night long
Rented this for a 1920s themed party. I'm 5'9" and it fell slightly below the knee. As a pear-shaped individual, it was a little iffy trying to get it over my hips, but once I did it flowed down nicely. Material is HEAVY, which is great for a chilly weather event like mine, but might be too much in warmer months. Very elegant and classic. Looks stupendously flattering on curves. Received compliments all night long.

Feeling like luxury!
A few notes: 1. I am not tall, and so the lower half cut off at an awkward point for my legs. 2. Unlike other reviews, I had no problem lifting my arms to dance (and I have larger arms than usual for my size), and the fabric had enough of a give to feel like I wasn't going to damage it by having a good night. 3. The sequins made it heavy and feel dolce-quality. 4. The only thing I would say is that if you're self conscious of your stomach, you want to spandex it up! Overall, I would recommend it to anyone!

Fun, form fitting dress
I'm unsure of my measurements as I'm in transition and 6 months postpartum, but at the time of rental: 5'7", about 180ish, and a 36DD. I gambled in the 12 and it fit well without a bra. I did need help getting it zipped up and down. Many compliments on the style and it was comfortable enough for a form fitting dress. Once you get the arms adjusted where they sit comfortably, it was a great dress.

Sparkling NYE!
I wore this dress for a NYE wedding and loved that it was sparkly without feeling that I was standing out too much. The material was heavier and the forgiving cut of the dress would make it flattering on almost any body type. The only reason I am giving this dress 4, and not 5, stars is that the neckline and sleeve placement make it difficult to lift arms above your head (for dancing) and it was difficult to fully zip on my own.

Great dress for the costume I did, but it was a bit long on me, and not the most comfortable. I wouldn't rent it for a regular cocktail event. The neckline and shoulders are not comfortable, and the waist was a bit big.
