Fit - perfect
Size - I ordered xs and a small - I'm usually a 2/4 in dresses and the small was perfect.

I wore this to a Black History Month Gala and got tons of compliments both at the formal dinner and the after-party where I got to give the skirt a run for its money dancing.  I paired it with red heels and red lipstick for some color and think it was the perfect accent.  I have a small bust on a big ribcage/broad shoulders and big hips, so the skirt hid those pretty well but not perfectly and the straps accentuated my shoulders in a way I like.  The pockets are too small to be actually helpful, but a noble effort.  The different fabrics add some flair to the dress, particularly the skirt because it's not a common fabric for dresses, but I really liked it.  
My big problem with it was that the criss cross on one side of the bodice front wasn't staying connected, and it would peek and show a little bit of skin, nothing scandalous, but clearly not supposed to be happening.  I'd think it was that I needed to size up, but it was only happening on one side.  Thankfully my roommate had wardrobe tape to force the fabric to stay together and that fixed it beautifully.

I wore this for a black tie awards dinner and was very happy with my choice. The skirt is flowy and has a slight high-low that hit me right at the knee. The top was fitted but not too tight. I typically wear anything from a 6 to a 10 and the Medium was good. I could have worn the L too but was a little baggy up top since I am small chested. Would definitely rent again. 

This was actually my backup dress incase i didnt like the dress I originally ordered and Im so thankful i had this as a backup. The original dress was gorgeous but just didnt fit me how I would of hoped. I wore this to jobs holiday party that had a rat pack theme and it was perfect. I was complimented all night. I would definitely recommened

Dress was great. Flowy on the bottom and fitted on top. Great for pear shape. I went with the medium because it was more comfortable around my waist 

I'm only 5'1 127lbs I went with the size medium because it fit best. The details of the dress is mesh on the bottom and it had pockets. I wore this to a wedding and felt so comfortable in it. 

This dress was classic, beautiful, and really fun to twirl in because it flares out. I really hated the exposed silver zipper though, because it made the dress seem cheaper or something. If it had a hidden zipper or a black zipper I would have worn it to the wedding. Went with a different option instead. 

 Also, I'm 5'10", so I wish they had an extra length option, cos it was just a tad too short (showed my knees a bit.) 

Classy looking elegant dress.  Fabric was comfortable. 

Fit me well - it does have a bubble type hem which I didn't expect!  It has pockets which is always nice.  And I did not have to wear a bra at all!! 
Ordered a M and S - wore the M (I am a 6 typically).

I really liked this dress at first! I love the sleeves. The full shirt is very nice, not too poofy and balanced with the tight top. The top has a bit of given to it. It is a thick dress. Just walking around the apartment and taking some photos I was sweating. I think the longer I wore it the more I disliked how it made my chest look. Maybe was over thinking it but ultimately pushed me to wear something else. I would be happy with it as a back up option! 

This was my first-ever rental from Rent The Runway and it fit absolutely perfectly. The dress has pocket (always a plus) and is such a classic look. I got so many compliments and hope to rent it again in the future! Be careful to wear a nude bra or fashion tape to keep straps from showing. The dress is extremely flattering and hit me perfectly at the waist. I highly recommend!

Loved the dress! The material felt great and it was very comfortable. Perfect for a work gala. The top was stretchy and the skirt was a thicker/heavier material. I got a small and a medium - ended up wearing the medium. I'm 5'3, 150 pounds, and normally a 4/6 in dresses. 

This dress was amazing! I can't believe I didn't snap a picture once we were out and fully ready! The dress was very comfortable and made of heavier fabric which was perfect because it was cold outside! All I needed was a shawl to stay warm. I got lots of compliments! Fits true to size. Definitely recommend. 

I loved this dress so much! I chose it for my work's holiday party. The fit was extremely comfortable because the top was thick and stretchy, and the bottom was fun and flattering. I was not expecting the bottom to have a net texture but it was a very flirty addition to show a tad more leg below the slip. This dress has deep, awesome pockets that held my phone and drink tickets all night.

I did not end up wearing this dress, as it was a little more dressy than needed- but I still loved it so much! It is super flattering and exactly like the picture. I am definitely keeping this in mind for future formal events!!

I loved wearing this dress for the evening wedding I attended. I received so many compliments and was able to accomplish the 'old Hollywood glam' look I was going for. An obvious highlight on the dress are the pockets and I love the texture of the skirt, as well. Great choice overall!! 

This was my backup dress and I'm so thankful for it. Its got pockets and I was able to carry everything without needing a purse; the pockets didn't create any extra bulkiness either. The material is thick but sturdy so indoors and cooler weather is perfect; it might get a bit much in warmer climates. It's not a showstopper by any means but it's quality-made, comfortable, and has pockets!

Fit was perfect and the length was classy. The pockets are definitely a bonus of this dress.
