This Pencey dress made NYC Mercedes Benz Fashion Week amazing for me!! While walking up to the Lincoln Center I was hounded by the fashion press for picture of me in it! Thank you RTR!
I found this dress to be perfect for a look that was both edgy and feminine. It is really short - so keep that in mind - but it definitely will make you feel like the center of attention.:)

Very Black Swan!
I wore this to a sorority formal, and I loved the material. As others have noted, it is veeeerrry short! I have short legs, so I rather liked the flirty skirt - but I did wear black boyshorts underneath, just in case. Looking back at pictures, I wish I'd tied a ribbon around it or something, I like a more defined waist and it was a bit slack.

It is hard to stand out in a sea of sequins on NYE, but I think this ensemble stood the test!
Cute dress! The back didn't appear as see-thru as expected so I wore a lace bandeau to add contrast. Also, people are not kidding when they say this is short! I'm around 5'3/5'4 and it looked cute with tights, but I wore black boy shorts in case of a gust of wind. I would not wear this without tights in warmer weather. Overall really liked the dress for a fun, flirty and unexpected look.

Cute party dress!
This is definitely a dress to wear with tights or leggings even. It was very short on me and I was barely able to wear it with tights. I'd say anyone under 5'6 should be fine. Really cute and flattering otherwise.

This was perfect for a night out. Sheer back & sides were super sexy without being too revealing.
The dress ran true to size and was very flattering although it was a bit shorter than I anticipated. I wore Spanx underneath just to avoid any unexpected flashing.

I ordered the size 0 and I am 5'1", 103 lbs. My bra size is 32C. It fit me very well. I love the tailoring of the dress. And since i'm short, the skirt wasn't too long on me. I wore it to go dancing, I love how flowy the skirt is.

I rented this for a Christmas party recently and while the dress was short -- Thank the lord! -- it was by far the most beautiful and well tailored dress I've rented from this site. The length was perfect for my petite frame because there are so few I can rent from here! I will probably be renting this dress again or fidning a retailer to buy it for myself! LOVE!

This dress runs true to size, but is very very short. I wore a pair of shorts underneath, just to be safe. Its still amazing!! Very different/classy!

beautiful dress.
I rented this dress for New Year's last year. Loved it. Got so many compliments. It was very short, but i wore black stockings and it looked fine. Runs a little small. I am thinking of renting it again for this coming New Year's!

Fun, flirty and sexy
It is very flattering and versatile depending on how your accessorize it. This is a great option for those not blessed in the bust since it draws attention to other areas. The one thing that should be noted is that the sides are sheer, not just the back and it is super duper short. That being said, the detailed tailoring, full skirt and color make it sexy, fun and flirty without being street-walkerish. Glad I opted for this one!

Before you even read on you must know, THIS DRESS IS SO SERIOUSLY SHORT. It is so short that I had to wear it with booty shorts underneath, and even then it was extremely hard to balance properly as to NOT flash everyone. That being said, if you are fine with a risque hemline, then this dress is DIVINE! It fit true to size, was extremely comfortable and I was overwhelmed with the compliments and attention it got all night. If you are daring, this dress is for you!

liked this dress a lot! My only complaint is that the mesh color is a little too noticeable so it was more obvious in pictures than I would have liked. Definitely a mini dress, so probably best for shorties!

Sexy and SHORT!
I'm 5'2" and this dress was even short on ME! Thankfully it was a sort of event where I wasn't the only girl in a mini dress... but i felt a bit self conscious at times. Other than that, it's a beautiful dress and great, silky material. You'll need to jazz it up with some accesories, as the front is a little plain in pictures.

Jeez. When they say short, they mean SHORT. This was like a figure skating costume -- so grateful for a backup dress! The dress is lovely, but probably better worn without a tan; the nude mesh is a rather light.

Couldn't wear this dress.. it was too large yet too short.
The dress was huge everywhere but in the length so short and I am 5ft tall!

Although this dress ran large, I found that the bigger issue was the mesh material that the nude part of the dress was made out of. It looked cheap. Also, if your skin tone does not match the nude exactly, the dress does not look good. Would not recommend this dress.

I agree with the statements below. I am not a tall girl and this dress was almost inappropriately too short. I had an event that I rented it for, and I am now borrowing my friend's dress. I have rented many things from rent the runway, and this was the first real disappointment.
