It fit fine, but I am normally a 2/4 at stores like Banana and Ann Taylor, so I would suggest one size up.  I would rent this again!

True to size. Definitely short as others are saying. I'm 5'5'' and wore 4'' heels. Could have been 2-3'' longer, but the shortness allowed me to dance very easily at the wedding without tripping on anything. When the heels came off, it was perfect. Didn't even need fashion tape to secure the boobs - I'm a 36B. Got compliments from guys and gals alike all night. Very easy to dance in, as there isn't an excess of fabric like most formal gowns. The seam where the slit is was slightly ripped when I got it, but the lace made it hard to notice. Don't spread your legs too much when standing with the center split or else it'll look like you're wearing a jumpsuit - ick! 

Dress fit perfectly and was comfortable. I received compliments all night! Will definitely be using RTR again! 

It fit really well, had lots of stretch, and was fun and easy to dance in. Normally I'm a 6-8 but the 4 held everything in the best. 

The dress was amazing! I wore it for my husband's dental school ball. I received so many compliments on it, and it was super comfortable! I was concerned that with the low cut it would lay weird when I sat down, but that was not an issue at all. I would definitely rent this dress again!

This dress is really flattering and comfortable, danced the night away easily and got so many compliments! This was my backup dress and the six definitely was too big, but tape and pins helped. Also, customer service for RTR- amazing! so helpful and they were able to ship me a dress immediately. Definitely plan to rent again =)

Only cons were I didn't have enough time to find a bra that worked with the deep plunge, it was still gorgeous and I felt it hid some imperfections.

I wore this dress to a formal affair and received so many compliments about it! I am 5'0 and have an athletic body type and this dress fit perfectly. The length was perfect for my 4in heels. However, for women who are taller I can definitely see how this dress could run short. The only problem I had with the dress was the deep V since I do not have much cleavage to fill it in. I was able to fix any potential accidents with tape so if you are smaller up there I would definitely recommend having fashion tape on hand (RTR provided some tape but I needed more to make sure the "girls" didn't make an appearance). Other than that this dress was perfect and I will definitely rent from RTR again!

Perfect fit and great length with heels! I needed to use fashion tape to keep everything in in place "up top" but it worked out wonderfully. 

This was my first time using Rent The Runway. I really enjoyed wearing this dress. It was a perfect fit for me. I am a short woman with a small breast and I never had a problem wearing this dress without a bras. The 2R was short enough with high heels. I felt comfortable and sexy all night long.

This dress looks more amazing on than in the pictures.  Myself and my husband received so many compliments/comments on the dress and I was told several times that I was the best dressed of the night and was asked where it could be purchased!  I originally ordered a 6R & 8R, but the dress ran big on the top so I had them send a 4R as a replacement.  There wasn't much size difference in the bottom, but the top fit perfect so the dress fit me perfectly.  I used the body tape just to ensure the top stayed in place because it does leave a little side boob action :) Overall, amazing dress and experience!
RTR customer service is amazing and so helpful!

Received tons of compliments. Would definitely rent again!

I loved this dress. Definitely a sexy little number and you will get attention. I couldn't  wear a bra with so dancing like I normally do was a little tricky. The slit is right in the middle so sitting was a little tricky too. It is short, but I didn't care because my boyfriend is a little shorter than me, so I can only 1-2 inch heels anyway. 

I am about 5'1 around 107/108 lbs.  I wore the size 0 regular.  My heels were 3" inch heels and made the dress a perfect length. 

I ordered 2 sizes 10R and 12R. The 10 fit perfect, but it felt and looked crooked- the beige liner had some imperfections, so I had to wear the 12. It was way loose at the chest so I had to buy a backless U Plunge push up bra from VS. End result… Wowza!! If you don't want to spend $ on a bra than maybe you should pass this dress up , otherwise you may have issues with the girls! I'm 5"5 and wore 4 inch heels and the length was perfect! 

I usually am between a 2 and a 4 so I ordered both sizes. The 2 fit very well, the 4 was only slightly larger in a few places. But I was comfortable all night. I'm 5'1 and wore 4 inch heels, the hem was perfect. 

I got so many compliments on this dress.  It was perfect for the wedding I wore it to and was easy to move and dance in.  Con - I usually wear a 6 but the top on the 6 was too big so i opted for the 4 and i still definitely needed a lot of double sided tape to keep the top in place, but other than that, i LOVED it!

I was a little nervous about my first experience with RTR, but let me tell you, I am SO happy that I did! I ran to the door like a little girl on Christmas morning and was so excited to try on the dresses. I am really happy I got two sizes. I usually am a 4-6 but was thinking the 6 would probably be my best bet. It turns out the 4 is what fit perfectly! Trust me ladies, if you want a comfortable, striking dress, sexy dress- THIS IS IT!

I got so many compliments on this dress. The neckline was new for me, but I still felt comfortable and secure. The size 0 fit, but I felt that the 2 had better coverage. It is definitely a bit short- I wore a low heel and just made it! I'm just 5'4" so if you're taller it might be too short (the regular size). A great dress especially for spring/summer. The material is pretty light but nicely lined.







I also had to work some safety pin magic and wear my hair down to make the top work! 

The dress fit perfectly although I am short so the torso was long. I did a little finagling in the back to pull the dress up so that it fit better in the front. Also wore a backless, strapless, deep bra that helped keep things in. Didn't need spanx, and it was so comfortable. I felt elegant and beautiful!

The plunging neck was no problem with the fashion tape. They only give you like 3 pieces but I had some of my own, so I used that as well. The length of the dress was perfect for my height. 

This dress made me feel so sexy, while still maintained my class. The lace material makes it very elegant and timeless. My fiance's jaw dropped when he saw me in it and people came up to me all night telling me how beautiful I looked. Don't be intimidated by the plunging neckline, with a good nubra you are good for dancing all night! I've had more issues with some normal strapless dresses than this one, did not have to worry about wardrobe malfunction at all! The structure of the dress hits all the right spots, it is definitely a dress that turns heads.

Not too tight, and very comfortable.  You need a bit of a chest to fill it out, but I made it work with fashion tap!

I wore this dress to a NYE party and received several compliments.  It was really pretty and even though it was on the short side, that allowed me to wear flats (which my feet definitely appreciated). 

I read all of the reviews before renting this dress and the best one's were the ones that said it was short. As a short girl, I was apprehensive in renting a long gown, but it is a true that it is a  shorter length dress and was perfectly fine with 6 inch heels. I normally wear a size 4, but had to go up a size due to my bust. Other than that the dress fit perfectly. Not only did it fit well, the dress was so comfortable. I would recommed anyone renting this dress, it was amazing.

I absolutely LOVED this dress. I felt like a million bucks in it. It's VERY low cut in the front, so if you have a large bust, this might not be the best. You can't wear a bra with it.  However, if you're curvy - which I am - it is still very flattering. Hugs in all the right places. Definitely one of the best dresses I've ever rented. 

This dress fit so beautifully. I am athletic and only 5 ft 4 in., so I was afraid the dress would be too long and too tight in the rib cage. It was sensational. I ordered a 2 and 4 and wore the 2...If you are tall it will be too short with a very high heel.. I wore a three inch heel and the hem fell at just the right length. I also used plenty of fashion tape to hold everything in place!I received tons of compliments in a room full of women in black dresses. I just sent it back and cried all the way to the UPS drop off center. I love Rent the Runway and have had great experiences every time!

Hi Amy! YOU LOOK AMAZINGGGG!!!! I love that on you!!! I am wearing this to a black tie wedding. I had a couple of questions since I am about your size and shape lol. I am also tiny but busty lol did you feel confident all night or did you feel like everyone was staring ar your chest all night, did you get a lot of guys like checking you ot all night lol, second being busty was it difficult for you to keep everything covered lol like did you feel like you were popping out at all. Finally what color heels did you wear, do you think gold would work? 

I ordered it in a 0R and they didn't have the next size available but it fit like a glove.  Length was good - I am 5ft and wore 2.5-3in heels.  Did get caught a few times in the lace but nothing terrible, didn't trip or tear the dress.  Would definitely recommend for a formal event or wedding.

Perfect dress for a wedding or formal affair.  It has a plunging neckline, so requires double sided tape, however looks very nice.  You should order a size slighly smaller (if between sizes), as I found it to fit slight larger as does all BCBG dresses and clothes for me.  I usually wear a 6, but the 4 fit perfectly.  With 3in heals, the dress was a good length, maybe slightly short if anything, but great for an outdoor wedding.  

I was a little nervous that the dress would be too revealing or that I would constantly be adjusting myself throughout the night, but it ended up fitting perfectly and staying in place. I used two small pieces of fashion tape and felt comfortable and confident all night. The dress was slightly shorter than anticipated, but I ended up wearing a small heel which worked out wonderfully. Chelsea T. worked tirelessly until the day my order went out - making sure that I had everything I needed and answering all of my questions. Wonderful first experience with RTR!

This dress fit perfectly! It made me look slinky and I got so many compliments - everyone said I shouldn't send the dress back and just keep it. The neckline does plunge but it is not risqué, though I did use some fashion tape to avoid any flashes when moving around. The regular was on the short side but that was perfect for me because I wanted to wear low wedges. The material is super comfortable - it's a beautiful gown but feels like wearing pjs (and traveled well without wrinkling). Highly recommend!

Hi, I love this dress on you! You look amazing! I am about the same measurement as you. I see you were able to wear a bra with this dress? What type of bra did you wear? Without the bra did you feel like the girls were going to pop out? Would you recommend this dress?

I loved this dress! The fit was fantastic and it was super comfortable.  I went against the grain and decided to wear a bra with this dress!! I'm so glad I did!  Although you can see the black strap in front, the VS bra had a crystal on it, so it looked like it was part of the dress.  I used fashion tape to hold the criss-crossed straps in place under the bra in the back, and the straps could not be seen. I got compliments all night and felt fantastic. Never did I feel like I was going to fall out of the dress, where if I went bra-less, I'd feel less confident. 112 lbs, 5'3" 32C. The 0 was a perfect fit. 

This dress was an A++.
This was my first time using Rent The Runway and I am renting another dress for a wedding in the fall i loved it so much. I even considered renting the same dress. I received so many compliments at the wedding and my boyfriend still wants to buy the dress for me. The only suggestion I would give is get fashion tape if needed, I did not use tape but I was a little self conscious about slight gapping on the top when sitting down. Besides that I loved loved loved this dress!!


Hey Jennifer you look AMAZING!!! I had a quick  couple of questions beacuse we have the same body type and size, I am wearing this dress to a black tie wedding, I am also slim built and large busted, did you have trouble with keeping the girls in, did you feel confident all night or  did it seem like you had eyes on your chest all night lol. Finally I love your shoes I am 5&#39;5 how high are those heels? Thanks again you look amazing!!!

I actually purchased this this dress in a size 2 from BCBG but 3 days prior to my event the dress still had not arrived so I ordered a 2 & a 0 from RTR.  Boy am I glad I did - my original dress arrived and bc it has such a plunging neckline the 2 was too big. Size 0 fit to a tee.  I usually wear strapless and never long but decided to change it up this time. It was a bit daring for me but got lots of compliments.  I can't wait to use RTR again!  PS - Thanks RTR for the Hollywood tape... I used it on the neckline.  :)

Fit perfectly (runs true to size), stayed in place without tape which was much appreciated. Just a lovely dress all around.

I borrowed this dress for a wedding and I loved how beautiful it was and how comfortable I felt in it. I would advice ladies with smaller breast to use some fashion tape since it may be more roomy in that area.  Other than the need for fashion tape, I felt the dress was true to size. 

I truly loved wearing this dress.  I received compliments from just about every person I encountered at this event.  It fit like a glove and I felt so beautiful while wearing it.  The only downside to this dress (which is why it got 4 stars) is the length.  As previous reviewers warned, it is a bit short.  If this had come in a 0L, it would have been perfect.  I am 5'7" and wore 2" heels and it still felt a bit shorter than I would have preferred.  Not so short that it looked bad, just not the length I would typically wear.  It would be perfect with flats, but flats were not appropriate for the dress or the function I was attending.  I will say I am small framed and small chested.  I had no trouble keeping "the girls" in place (even without body tape), but I would imagine this dress would not work well for anyone with a larger chest.  Overall though, I loved the dress and will definitely use RTR again! 

I ordered a 4 and 6r because of my bust size 32F. The 6 was too big but fit the bust better. The 4 fit perfectly but I was a little large for the bust of the dress. I decided to go with the 4 and have a lot of cleavage. 
The dress was gorgeous and the length was fine for me with 4 in heels, but would have worked with flats too. 
The slit was high but wasn't an issue sitting or squatting. I just had to be conscientious of it when I did sit and squat. 

I ordered a 6 & 8 and the 6 fit perfectly. Everybody complimented me through out the night and I had such a wonderful experience with RTR.

I rented the 0R which was a good length with 3" heels.  I'm 5'2" with an athletic figure and my favorite part was the back.  Definitely need double sided tape though- there's no way to wear nu-bra or even tape yourself up.  I loved this dress and got so many compliments.

This dress was perfect for the black tie wedding I attended. The fit is great, the material is kinda stretchy so dancing and sitting is no problem! I definitely needed sticky tape to keep the girls in check since it has a very deep plunging neckline. Overall was a great dress. This was my first time renting from RTR and it will not be my last!  

Rented this for a girls weekend in Vegas.
It was great, super comfortable, but low cut...so if you are looking to show off the girls this is a dress for you!
I am a 36DD, so the dress can accommodate bigger busted girls, which isn't always the case in RTR dresses.

Super Glamorous! Has an old Hollywood feel about it. The dress was very comfortable and not scratchy like some laces can be. Be prepared and get fashion tape to hold it in place. I was worried being a full D but minimal side boob. Everything is in the plunge lol I'd def advise to go bra-less and bring the extra fashion tape just in case. 
I paired this with a faux fur shawl and it looked more polished than the dress alone for a black tie wedding.
Also, mind the slit is in the middle of the front of the dress because some photos looked awkward if standing straight onto the camera FYI otherwise it really isn't a big deal.

This dress was a success. Lots of compliments. The perfect length with 3" heels. Tasteful cleavage. The only criticism was the zipper was a bit worn. But overall a good experience. 

The fit was perfect because it was a little forgiving for the start of my baby bump. It was lightweight and comfortable to wear all night! I don't know if I'd rent it again, since I've liked other formal dresses on RTR even more, but it was a fun dress to wear for the night. 
Note that bust size was almost 34D at the time, so it would have been big on me if I hadn't been pregnant (normally 34B). Also, I wore 1" heels, but wouldn't had to rent the Long version if I wanted a higher heel.

I thought it fit great. I ordered the regular size for length and I'm 5'8''. I thought the length was perfect. 

This was a backup dress because the one I ordered got damaged. It was gorgeous. I'm a 36G and it held me in while still showing my cleavage. I adored this dress and got SO MANY compliments. I'd order this again in a heartbeat. 

Fit great other than the top was a little baggy for my smaller chest. Sticky tape worked but had difficulty sticking to the dress all night. Overall was a beautiful dress. Received many compliments. 

This dress was amazing overall. I normally wear a size 4, and that's what I ended up wearing. I could have fit into the size 2, but it does get a tad short if you're 5'5" and above. I am not very large in the chest, so since I had to use the larger size I had to watch the top area and make sure it didn't open up if I bent over, but it wasn't a big deal. I wore this to my medical school gala AND my boyfriend's military ball all in the same night, and it was super comfortable and easy to stay in it for a lengthy amount of time. I felt comfortable to be around my professors and my boyfriend's superiors, while still feeling beautiful and sexy.

Love love love. Hugged enough that everything stayed in place without tape or anything. Deep v was sexy and classy at the same time. 

Beautiful dress!! My husband couldn't take his eyes off me all night!

Beautiful dress! Sexy and classy. I ordered a 4R and I really could have used a 2R, it was a roomy in the top and without being able to wear a bra I had to use a lot of double sided tape. However, it was beautiful and I received tons of complements from both ladies and gents! I felt great, the slit is not too high for a formal event, just watch sitting if you don't want to show lots of leg. The dress was comfortable and I danced the night away without a worry (with the help of tape). 

Dress fit great - I am 5'1" and the dress was a tad short when I wore high heels so I wore a lower one and it worked well.

Wasn't too long, which is always a concern when you need to wear a long dress and cannot hem it. Overall the dress fit really well. Wasn't too tight or too big in any particular places. My only piece of advice is if you want to wear body shape wear, specifically shorts, the slit is high, so it is hard to get away with wearing spanx under it. 

I wore this for my sister's "backyard wedding" and it was absolutely stunning! I didn't wear a bra and it was perfect fit. I am 5'3" and about 130, athletic build, C cup. I wore 3 inch heels and the length was to the floor. Highly recommend if you want to turn heads and feel like a million bucks!!!

Wore this dress to a black tie wedding the day after thanksgiving (so you know I was a bit stuffed), it was gorgeous! I'm a 34C/D so there was some cleavage, but still classy. Received compliments all night. The dress is very forgiving, you don't really need spanks. Wore about 5inch heels and the dress came about an inch off the floor. 

Fits very true to size and very comfortable

Very low cut but overall most comfortable formal dress I have ever worn . Length was quite short which worked in my favor as I am petite. Did use dress tape on the bust so that I could dance comfortably without it moving

I felt beautiful in this dress.  My husband was like, "wow, you look pretty" and that is a great compliment coming from him! haha 
I have never worn an expensive formal dress before so I wasn't sure what size to get.  I thought I would be a size 8. I'm glad they were sold out of the size 8 though, because I ended up fitting in the size 4 and the size 6.  I worn the 6 because the only difference between the 4 and 6 is the 4 was a little tighter in the band that sits right under your boobs, on the rib cage.  Other than that, the fit through the stomach and the boob area was the same in my opinion.   
I didn't like how loose the top was.  The material sort of winged out at by my armpits, so I took some black string and tied the back together right at the top, by my neck.  This tightened the front and held the girls in place...even made my cleavage pop a bit ;)  I would have done this with the size 4 too.  The fit in the boob area created the same problem on both dresses.  But this easy fix made it a non-issue. And, it was nice to not have to wear a bra. 
I wore 3 inch heels, and the dress nearly touched the floor. I feel like wearing heels any taller than that would make the dress look too short.  
When I first received the dress, I thought it looked a little worn, but once I put it on, I couldn't tell at all. 
It really is a beautiful dress.  I paired this dress with gold earrings and a gold bracelet, both from rent the runway.  
Rent the Runway has awesome customer service too. Since this was my first time renting, I had some questions that seemed a bit silly, but I called and asked them anyway.  Something went wrong and I couldn't figure out how to place my order.  The girl on the line was super friendly and helpful, and she just placed my order for me over the phone.  Super easy! 
I can't wait to rent more dresses in the future! 

Dress was comfortable but was a little loose in the breast area. Also a bit revealing, and runs a little short and I'm 5'2.  Overall the dress was nice

I rented this in a 6 and a 4, but the 4 fit perfectly. I loved this dress but also rented a second dress that I loved slightly more, so didn't end up wearing this one. It was a hard decision as i loved this one so much! I will rent it again for a future occasion as it was beautiful! I would have taped the top to a bra, just to secure it in place, but the top fit great (size 34C). The slight up the front was sexy and perfect. The length was perfect with 2 inch heels on-- anyone over 5'4 be cautious- as it is shorter than most dresses.

I really loved this dress! It was the perfect length for a 3 inch heel and I felt sexy, yet classy all at once. The fit was a little loose so I had to pin the straps with a decorative pin so the dress fit better in the top. Overall, it was a great find! 

Dress was true to size and fit perfectly.  The R probably runs on the shorter side, but was perfect for my height.  I wore low heels.  Beautiful dress.  Comfortable for all night long.  Was worried about the deep v and having to adjust myself constantly, but I had no such issue.

Pros = sexy, fit well, easy to dance in, received compliments, in good condition
Cons = I don't really have any cons. I would probably not order the dress again, but not because I wasn't happy with it, but because three other women had similar dresses and I like being different. But, I am excited to rent another dress from Rent the Runway!

I loved the dress when it arrived - I was afraid it would look a little cheap (sometimes lace over nude lining can do that), but it looked great. The problem, however, was the plunging front and back. I'm a 38DD, so it goes without saying that I can't go braless, which this dress pretty much requires. I tried to do a backless, strapless, U-plunge bra from Victoria's Secret (the kind that stick to you), but even part of that would show in the front of the dress. I finally added a halter strap to the sticky bra to give me some lift, and then had to use double-stick tack on top of the sticky bra to keep everything in place. It was basically a feat of modern engineering. But even then, my boobs only held in the dress when I was standing still or sitting perfectly straight. Bottom line: Unless you're smaller on top (I'd say a B-cup or smaller), or just have abnormally perky large boobs, this might not be the choice for you. Which is too bad, because it's gorgeous!
