It fit on the smaller side. I am between a 4/6 and wore the 6. I think it's best for a curvy or athletic figure, as I can see where the top would be too large on a small bust. Would rent again or buy in a second. Highly recommended. 

This was a great LBD for my birthday dinner. I got complements all night. Top strap is a bit long though and sits on the edge of your shoulder in an odd place. 

This is an AMAZING LBD. Rented the 0 and the 2 and I love it so much I'm probably going to buy it on the clearance sale! This runs true to size for me seeing as most zeros tend to fit large on me. I definitely recommend fashion tape with this dress since I have narrow shoulders and I had to tape them to keep the straps from falling down. The back/sides are what makes the dress, so make sure it stays put! I got compliments on this all night at the Xmas party! 

This dress is absolutely worth renting over and over! This was my second time renting it and it did not disappoint! Received compliments the entire evening. Will probably rent again! 

Sexy dress! Endless compliments! ( My Husband couldn't keep his hands off me!). Hugs the body, so be ready to show some curves. True to size. Great for any important event or date night. 

Form fitting. Love the slit and the one shoulder double strap detail. So many compliments all night

Sexy and elegant dress! This is my second time renting this dress! 

Great dress, very comfortable! Everyone complimented it throughout the night. 
I am very curvy, apple shape - the dress was very form fitting in the back, if you aren't comfortable having a dress accentuating you're booty then this isn't the dress for you! Loved it and would rent it again!

This dress fit true to size and was comfortable once on the body. Slightly difficult to secure the zipper due to the angles of the dress.  Enlist a personal valet if you are not a natural contortionist! Loved the dress in any case.  This is a dress that I would love to own.

Loved this. I am short so the slit wasnt too high and very subtle. I just felt very chic 

This dress was easy and comfortable for a long night of dancing at a wedding. A lot of people thought it ran small, so I got a 2 and a 4 when usually I'd get a 0 and 2, but I thought it ran very true to size and the 2 fit wonderfully. The great thing about the cut of the dress is you don't need much jewelry; I just wore small earrings and a cocktail ring. The slit was a little high, but it wasn't too inappropriate for a Catholic church. I'm also very tall, so on a shorter girl the slit would be no big deal. I will say that if I didn't have a long torso and broad shoulders that the straps would've probably been too long; I don't know if they would fit a petite girl properly. Overall, I loved it! 

It fits like a glove so it was a little tight getting on. It took 2 girls to zip me! Once it was on it was perfect. I got so many compliments & it was comfortable enough to dance in all night. Loved this dress!

I ordered the 0 and 2 sizes. Needed help from the husband to zip the 0. It fit great, really snug and holding everything in it's place. But I wore the 2 which may not have flattered as much but I felt good in it. The hem was a little messed up--it needed a good pressing which I didn't have time to do. I counted on the party being dark enough to hide that. It did ride up a bit and needed downward tugging from time to time. But I even got compliments on my dress from people who do tv/film costume, which was really nice. I also used fashion tape to stick the strap to my shoulder--maybe that will help someone else. I had ordered a 2nd style of dress to be a backup but they didn't have 2 sizes available and the one I got didn't fit me. So I learned my lesson about reserving well in advance. Overall, a good 1st RTR experience. 

This dress fits perfectly and was a hit! A classy sexy dress all the way round. Highly recommend it!  I would rent it a couple days before the event to ensure that no pressing is needed to ensure that the seams of the split in the dress is in the right place (not visible).This will give you time to take it for a quick press at the laundrette before your event.  I had many compliments and it was perfect for the formal event.  I highly recommend this dress.  

Runs small. Went a size up.  First time renting. Will not buy another dress again.  Excellent experience

This dress is definitely a head turner! Wore it for a formal fundraising event and got lots of compliments and I felt great in it.  Fits snug and holds you in, perfect length for a formal affair.  My only complaint was that the straps were a lil loose and I had to keep fixing the top of the dress. There was definitely some side boob action going on at some points but nothing crazy.  I ordered a size 6 and 8 but there was an issue with the size 6 and RTR offered me another dress at no extra charge.  Luckily, the 8 fit fine.  I will definitely rent this again. 

Great fit and fabric, looks very classy and elegant. It stretches just a bit throughout the time you wear it so don't worry if it looks tight at first. Got a ton of compliments wearing it, beautiful dress. 

Did you get the bangles and the earrings through RTR?  If so, is that the name of them on RTR?

I wore the four which was a little tough to zip up but worth the effort.  The six was just a little too big, with the straps being a little long and the length a little too long.  I dressed it up with the Ultimate Bling Bangle Stack and the Silver Pave Weave Earrings which dressed it up enough for a black tie event.  Love this dress!

I ordered a Size 2 & 4 - ended up wearing the 2. The dress fit really well - I did not even have to wear a bra or body shaping undergarments.  It was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments on the fit and neckline.

I wore this dress for a wedding and loved it!  It was comfortable and it looked great.  The cut out detail in the back is really nice also.  It runs a little small (I had to have my friend's husband zip me into it).  I still ended up in my typical size, but I would order your normal size and the next size up to be safe.  I am also pretty short (like 5'2) and it was still a perfect length.  A great dress for when you want to look sophisticated, but still sexy!

I am between a 4/6 in dress sizes, I wore this in a 6.

This dress fit perfectly! It hugged me in all of the right place,I felt sexy and comfortable the entire night. Highly recommend this style for a night out  

I normally wear a size zero or two and the 2 was a little snug in the bust line.  Other than that, great a fabulous dress.

I rented this dress for a Christmas Party. Dress runs small and I ended up wearing the size 2 when i normally wear a 0 . Size 2 felt more comfortable around the bust area (34D). I did use the double sided tape due having to adjust the straps constantly. This dress was classy with a touch of sexy and just what i was looking for.

The fit is true to size. I was worried about whether it would be too large in the waist but it fit perfect. If you're slender, this dress elongates your frame even more. The slit in the front is definitely what makes the dress! 

I wore this dress to an outdoor afternoon/evening wedding.  It was perfect!!  I got many compliments on the dress and felt so sexy yet classy in it.  I was easily able to dance and party the night away in it.  This was truly a dress I wished I didn't have to return. I would rent this one again for any occasion, even a dinner out.  I felt amazing in it!!  Thank you RTR!

This was my back up dress and it was FABULOUS! I added a fun belt to complete the look. Runs very true to size but make sure you are comfortable in a dress that shows your shape. I used fashion tape on the shoulder straps to keep them in place, and they did not move all evening. I am 5' 4' and the hem hit just below my knees, but the slit up the front showed off my legs. I received lots of compliments and felt like a million bucks... did not want to send it back! 

I rented the 4 and 6, and the 4 was just a little too tight. The 6 made for a much more comfortable evening but still looked great! I got lots of compliments on this dress and really liked how it was classy but also very sexy!

I wore this dress to a fundraiser and it was perfect. It wasn't the typical LBD. I got so many compliments. I never had to adjust the dress through the night. The fabric was soft and movable.  I would definitely rent this dress again. 

If you're planning on doing lots of dancing, I'd go a size up. This fabric does not have much give. Also, the hanging zipper clasp is on the outside, which is a little noticeable. Otherwise, a great dress! 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress!!!  It does run a smidge small.  I am solid size 10 or Large and this was definitely snug.  But snug is perfect for Vegas.  So I was completely thrilled with my look.  Didn't need to wear a bra, even with my DDD chest (which is a huge plus).  I am 6"0" tall with an athletic build.  The bottom of the dress hit above my knee and the slit added great drama.  So sexy and so happy with this one!  Highly recommend!!!!

I received so many emotional compliments: "Oh my God--you look amazing!"  From men, women and my children! ;-) The fit was wonderful.  Elegant and sexy without being too much.  I thought the slit would be, but it was understated, unless you throw your leg out ala Angelina Jolie, which I did not.  I'd rent it again. 

1. Fit - Usually i’m nervous when it comes to dresses because i’m petite. So dresses are often too big for me. For example in Macy’s its very hard for me to fit a size 2 petite dress so if I ever find a 0, I run with it! The 0 in this dress fitted me MAGICALLY! I was in awe!  

2. Bra - Another thing is that i’m very small chested (32a). So whenever I go out I DEPEND on my Victoria’s Secret bombshell bra to make it look like I have cleavage because it makes me 2 cup sizes bigger! I hate looking flat chested and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to wear the bra with this dress. WRONG! I had the strapless version of the bombshell bra on and you couldn’t even tell that i was wearing one! 

3. Length - Now I LOVE my short dresses because they make me feel like a vixen when I go out, and I usually dress conservatively the rest of the time. So parties are the one time that I can "skank it up a bit". I was also apprehensive becasue i’m already kind of short. But even with its length the dress was SOO SEXY!! I felt even sexier than if I were in a short dress .. its unexplainable. 

The only negative that I wold say is that the material sometimes hiked up at the hips so you’d have to pull it down.

To sum it up, I plan on renting this dress again. I wore this dress for my bday weekend in Vegas and received compliments on it.  I tried to search on the internet to buy it but I couldn’t find it :( Every girl deserves a sexy yet classy dress like this in their closet.

This dress was completely comfortable to wear! I went without a bra & just used petal covers - it fights snugly in the bodice so a strapless bra just added bulk. It is sexy and edgy without being"too much." definetely recommend wearing with your hair up to do the dress justice! I paired it w 'bling' Mui Mui heels (hey, I'm in Texas!) and simple accessories - the dress details are all you need! I received SO MANY compliments wearing this dress - I don't want to send it back!

This was my first RTR experience and it coud not have been better!

I rented this for my hubby's work holiday cocktail party. It was a huge success!  I actually had a woman approach me and tell me I was "gorgeous, a real knock-out" and then she turned to my husband and said, "Oh, you are one lucky man!"  

I wore the dress with nude heals and sheer hosiery to keep the emphasis on the collar of the dress, which is the real "wow factor".  I ordered a size 4 and a size 6 and the 4 fit well.  I may have been able to fit in a 2 but the hip area would have been tight.  I'm larger in the hips than in the bust area and because of this I wore a strapless bra with some lift and the top of the 4 fit well. 

I apologize for the self portrait but my husband was too preoccupied with staring at me to take a picture.  This is a perfect dress when you want to be sophisticated and sexy.  I'll rent this again!

It fits very snug.  Smaller women with a larger chest would have to go up a size.  

I was hesitant about this dress because of the length (I'm nearly 5' 4'').  So I was worried it would be too long, but it was great.  Like others, mentioned the top is tight and I did need help having it zipped but it fit like a glove.  I wish this dress was still in production so I could buy it.  Very much in love with this dress!

Definitely form fitting. Could've possibly worn size 4, but the shoulder strap was loose. Dress was comfortable...danced all night. Got all kinds of compliments, even from those who only saw pictures. Felt great in it & would definitely rent it again!

The dress is long, but the slit does ride up when you sit down. I had a pashmina that I wore, so I was able to cover my legs up in church. Other than that, this dress is so fun to wear!

I wore this for an off broadway premier in NYC. This dress is really original and looks super sexy on.  The slit on the side tore and ended up going very far up my leg - that was a little nerve-wracking but I worked it out! I would love to wear this again. Very recommended. 

pros. Look spectacular. Cons. Terrible to zip!! 

Very sexy and shows off shoulders. Very tight in the chest/ribcage (32C/34B), had to move up to a 2 however then the straps were too loose. I had to stand up straight the entire event and I felt like a robot.

You can't wear a bra with this dress it is too open in the back. Fortunately there is great boning in the dress to provide shape and support without a bra. Great dress with compliments all night. I will rent this one again! 

I wore this dress to my high school reunion.  This dress was my back up dress.  The dress i initially rented was too big and the ladies from Rent the Runway were terrific and sent out this dress to me right away and just in time for my reunion.  The fit was great.  The length was just a little long only because i am petite.  It was very comfortable and i didn't have any issues.  The dress is sexy, and yet classy.  I would definitely would recommend renting this dress.  

Very cool shoulder strap that fit well. The zipper was a bit hard to zip. 

I rented this dress for a NYC date (dinner and broadway musical) w/ my husband. I rented the 4 and the 6. They fit really similar, but the 6 looked weird around my waist when I moved, so I wore the 4. It's pretty reveling in the chest area (it was on me, and I'm 32DD) therefore, I won't recommend it if u are shy or conservative. It's stretchy, sexy and different... I didnt wear a bra, but it wasn't needed. One of the straps was weird and I wish I had fashion tape, cause it keep falling. The length is perfect, as is sexy on the top, so the midi length balanced the dress. I recommend it.

Wore to a formal event. Received many glowing compliments. My Godson said I looked pretty. Normally a 4/6, but the 6 would not zip up, so I wore the 8 using a lot of 2-sided tape and safety pins to keep the top up.  I am a 32F, so the 6 was a little too tight in the bust area. 

This dress was so sexy yet I didn't feel exposed. The material is lightweight with very little sheen so it can be dressed up or down. As mentioned in other reviews, the straps were long in comparison to the fit. Great for a flat chested long torso. The material was perfect, straps were perfect, slit was perfect, length was perfect, skin but no cleavage. My only negative is that it rode up as I walked and we did a lot of walking. I wouldn't want to dance in it but it was perfect for cocktails and theater. I was stopped on the street 2x and turned a lot of heads =)

Usually I wear a 4 but thankfully I ordered a 6 as well and that fit perfectly. So I'd say its roughly true to size. The one sided shoulder straps fit awkward. Several times during the night the lower strap slipped down my shoulder. Unless you have absolute perfect posture (which I dont) and stood and sat up perfectly straight the entire time, the fit was slightly awkward sitting on the shoulder and in the back. The other strap seemed to fit tight and high on my neck. Loved the split skirt. Overall a great looking dress though. I received many compliments.

dress fit great.  i loved the neckline.  

Good thing I read the other reviews...  This dress runs small and the straps are a bit oddly proportioned (too long), so use tape if you are large-busted.  That said, other than a minor adjustment or two when putting it on, it was a great dress to wear to an evening wedding & I seriously got compliments all night from friends and other guests.   The slit is NOT as high as it appears on the model, so it's classy & classic - but a step above a LBD.   

I highly recommend this dress!

First things first, I got compliments all night. I did have a few fit issues. Normally I do fine in a size 4 but really wished I got a 6 instead of a 2 as my second size, as the 4 was mighty snug. But because I have a shorter torso, the shoulder part was loose and if I had gone with a 6, I'd have risked a nip-slip due to the cut-out detail. The hem went slightly below my knee but I found myself tugging the skirt down because of the slit, which was well over my upper thigh.This was my first dress since giving birth & I'm still trying to figure out what works best with my body post-baby. While I had my own issues, everyone else-- thought it looked "smokin hot" on me. 

I rented this dress for a impromptu party in DC...and this dress exceeded my expectations!  Not only was it strikingly gorgeous...it was slimming too!  It accentuated and slimmed my waistline and made my booty look good!  My only complaint...the straps don't lay correctly so I had to adjust them all night.  It dips extremely low on one side, but I wore a black bra that peeked out and unless you look hard, you could really tell.  Other than that, this dress is a winner!
