Fits great, very forgiving stretchy fabric, definitely needed double stick tape and spans to keep everything smooth and in place!

This dress has two length options and the R was perfect for me.

Anything that is worn underneath this dress needs to be seamless. I also wore fabric adhesive (to prevent the top from shifting) and beige petal concealers. 

Order a larger size, it runs small. The length is too short for most girls, so be sure to get the long if you want it to touch the floor. I wore shorter heals and it was a perfect length. It sits really nice for someone who is smaller chested, the cut is not the same as the model, it goes significantly lower than that. You WILL need tape for the v in the middle as well as the inside of the sleeves, those are loose too, so you will want to be secure in the dress! You cannot wear any visible bra or panties with the dress, so prepare for that as well, it is tight on the back so any lines would show. The material is fairly heavy but it is easy to dance in and flows nicely all night! It was a great dress, a little formal for a wedding, but I got a lot of compliments and loved it!!

I really liked the  slinky-like fabric that flowed wel around mel. The dress had good length with the 3" heels I wore. It grazed the tops of my feet and had more length in the back. I did buy more fashion tape and used to secure the front in totally confidence that all stayed in place. I would wear the dress again if the oppurtunity arises.

I got compliments all night wearing this number for a black tie wedding. The other reviewers are right about the thick jersey material laying very nice and fitting well. The V is very deep, but classy with fashion tape. Lots and lots of fashion tape :) 
I typically wear a 4 in dresses (6 in pants), I ordered both the 36L and the 38R after reading about the length. I am 5'3 and ended up wearing the 36L b/c it fit better, but I still could have gotten away with the R over the L and I was wearing 3 inch heels. 
If you have an excuse to wear this dress I'd say go for it, b/c its not every day you get to feel so sexy! 

Hi Ellie, the dress runs a bit large in the top half!

Um... so I ignored the reviews about warning tall girls about the length and went for it.  THIS IS MY DRESS!  Yes, the v in the front is deep, but it is stunning.  I got compliments all night.  No one paid any attention to the fact that it was too short.  Yes, you could see my shoes, but no one was looking down!  I would warn that you CAN go too small.  I am a standard size 8 and the 6 fit nicely, but I certainly could not wear a size 4.  I would rent this dress again and again.  Go for it!

Absolutely stunning dress, I received so many compliments wearing this.  The long was just long enough for me at 5'9" to wear heels, though they did show.  Dress fits fairly true to size, but is very low cut.  Much more so than in the picture.  I purchased double sided dress tape to wear with it, and it was very much needed!  

You look stunning!  You really look beautiful in this dress!

I rented this dress for a Mardi Gras Ball in New Orleans and I loved it.  I'm 5'0 and the length was perfect with 5 inch heels.  The fabric is very thick and a heavy jersey-like material and the knot in the middle hides a stomach pooch! 

The only downside with this dress is that it is WAY more low cut in person than the picture shows.  I had to use a good bit of fashion tape to keep it from looking inappropriate.  Also, it is difficult to wear a bra.  Other than that, the dress is gorgeous and extremely comfortable.  Would rent again. 

First of all Rent the Runway is amazing!  I can't stop talking about how great they are- so accommodating and even included doublestick tape for me for my dress- talk about great service!

The dress was amazing!  I got a ton of compliments and my boyfriend loved it! It is a very stretchable fabric and sooo comfortable. Don't worry too much about sizing being not quite right because it is such a flexible dress.  I usually am about a 4 and got a 2 (36L) because it was the last available and it fit perfectly.

One thing to know is that is extremely low cut (you can tell in my picture)- you have to go bra-less or use the little petal cover ups.  I used double-stick tape and a special low cut bra from Victoria's Secret and it worked out.  This isn't a dress for a conservative party though at all (I wore it to a Mardi Gras Ball). 

One other thing to note - which other reviews mention- is that if you are tall, go with the "Long." I am 5'10" and the dress really was too short in the front even flat-footed, so I got some really flashy heels so it looked like it was on purpose.  It was longer in the back than front which helped too.
