Wore this dress to a formal party. The material is thick, great for a winter affair. Fits snugly with a little stretch to it. It was pretty short, but not inappropriate. Loved it and would definitely rent again. 

Dresses run small, but a good selection on site as well

I love this dress. I've rented this one a few times and feel like a million bucks (not to mention it slims down my figure in all the right places.) 

This is the perfect LBD that goes from work to play. Love!! 

Wonderful material and perfect fit! First time renting a dress and was overall very happy with the process. I even added a necklace which was gorgeous. I really did not want to send them back!

I wore the size 2. It was shorter but fit best.
I also had the 4 but it was baggy in the sleeves and on top but was longer. I just had to make sure I adjusted my bottom layer and I wore shorts underneath. 

Very flattering dress. On the shorter side and heavier material, but comfortable. Loved wearing it 

I'm so glad I got this dress!  It was super comfortable and I got lots of compliments.  

Fits small for sure!  I had a baby 4 months ago and was thinking spanx could do the trick for my mid section, but it's not just the mid section that runs small.  The shoulders are a bit narrow and the arms small.  Plus, it's short.  I felt more comfortable in black tights because of the length.  

I originally thought I'd wear 8, but ended up more comfortable in the backup 10.  

I would rent again for sure.

Dress has a drop waist and seam which I didn't realize until I got it! Still liked it! Casual enough to wear to a bridal shower but easily dressed up with heels! The one I got had a hole in the mesh on the skirt but luckily it was not noticeable.

This was my first RTR and I would absolutely rent again.  This dress was comfortable and the 3/4 sleeves were perfect as I wore it to a work party in winter.   The  style was flattering and I loved how the bottom flared out just slightly to give it some extra style.  

Fit perfect. Ordered a medium wore a large. Was not too short very flattering.

Very comfortable dress. Thicker material so i stayed warm at a northern Christmas party! Wasn't snug. I was free to move and didn't have to worry about length. Got compliments on it all evening :) 

Rented this for a holiday office party.  This dress was a perfect mix of conservative with fun details.  The 2 felt tight through the arms and chest -- so glad I got the 4 as a backup.   Wore it with the Slate and Willow Gold Glitter Art Deco necklace. I would definitely rent this again. 

First of all, I'm cold all the time.  So I worry that when I rent a dress I will just be trying to stay warm and not enjoy myself.  This dress is a thicker material and it kept me perfectly comfortable all evening.  I was also afraid that it was going to be too short on me.  At 5'10 it happens frequently.  Wrong again!!  Lastly, I'm between a size 8/10 with a athletic hourglass shape and the 10 was perfect.  Wish I owned this one!  So easy to wear!!  Thanks again RTR 

Loved the conservative overall look for my work awards banquet, but still flirty with the mesh part of the skirt. Very comfortable, I got a lot of compliments all night. I would definitely wear this again!

Wore this for a holiday party and really liked how it fit.  Tight fitting so go up a size if you are questioning.  

I ordered this for a Little Black Dress Charity event and received so many complements.  I was concerned that it ran small due to the reviews, but the 12 fit perfectly.  The stretchy fabric was very slimming and comfortable.  I was shorter then I expected however with heels on my legs looked fantastic.  I opted for a 3/4 sleeve due to hot flashes nowadays and was glad I did.  I danced the night away and felt fantastic in this cute LBD.   Might even consider buying.

Just couldn't get enough of this dress.  The material is heavy and fits comfortably.  Wore it to a vineyard party on May in Cali and it kept me warm as the evening cooled off.  Would definitely rent again! 

It runs a bit small but I loved the fit, style, everything. Received so many compliments and would rent again! 

I usually wear a 2, but the 4 fit me perfectly so i believe this runs slightly small. Also, a bit short for work so i wore opaque tights. However, i love the shape and fit and this was a fun dress to accessorize.

This fit me very well and it felt great! I loved this look with the stripe on the bottom! 

Loved this dress. The fabric was stretchy, but not too form fitting. It came down to mid-thigh perfectly. I wore this with tights as it was one of the coldest nights of the year! It was so flattering and I received so many compliments. It was true to size. 

I loved this dress. It was true to size and very comfortable.   I wore it for a Bar Mitzvah and it was perfect. So fun! 

RTR was awesome and I will definitely be renting again. Loved the entire experience.

This dress fit perfectly! I got a lot of complements. 

I received so many compliments on this dress the night I wore it for a celebration party.  It fits like a glove and is very comfortable.  Conservative yet has a fun flair with the short skirt visible under a sheer panel overlay, the A line dress is made of a rich, solid material and has nice subtle accents.   I would rent this again in a heartbeat.  Great service, arrived as promised, and the packaging insured that the dress came out ready to wear.  Love that I can just send it back at my nearest UPS drop box.  

This is a beautiful LBD. It hugs all your curves, so you have to be prepared to "own it". If you don't like your hips, I wouldn't get this dress. It's fairly short too - I am 5' 7" and it was as about as short as I'd go. I loved this dress. Super fun and cute, but classic too. Crazy comfortable also.

I loved wearing this dress for my husband's office holiday party. The material is heavy yet stretchy; I have larger arms and I was able to fit into this perfectly. It's very fitting in the torso so if that's a problem area I would recommending sizing up one. I'm on the shorter side (5'4) with larger hips and the skirt was flowy enough to disguise that and it wasn't too short. Perfect dress! 

I absolutely loved this dress! I rented this for a school fundraiser event and it was the perfect mix of conservative with a little bit of sass. I ordered the 2, and 4, but ended up never even trying on the 4 because the 2 fit perfectly! I received a ton of compliments and was comfortable all night long.

I wore this dress for a work event I organized. It was great for running around to set the event up, I had room to move and it was professional looking for when the event started. It was also perfect to wear post-event to go out with colleagues. Great flow, felt beautiful and put together.

I only have positive thoughts about this dress.  It fit like a glove, was easy to move in, great length, and was so flattering on. I wanted a dress with sleeves since the wedding was in January and this dress was perfect.  The sleeves weren't too tight either.  The dress material was stretchy, but not too much that it was loose. If I had the money to buy this dress I would, I loved it so much! This was my first experience with Rent the Runway and it was a home run!

This dress I wore to a bridal shower for my best friend where I received a bunch of compliments. The dress is comfortable but is a smidge short. I wore stockings that had shape wear in them and I felt that I had to keep pulling those up and the dress down to make sure they weren't showing. Other than that, this is a phenomenal dress!! 

I wore this to a work Christmas party and it was perfect.  The dress is true to size and the material has some give and is very flattering. A big plus is that your usual undergarments work; no special bra or slip necessary.  I am 5'2", 110 lbs and the 2 fit perfectly. I did expect the dress to be a little longer given my height, but it was still appropriate for a work event. 

This may have been my favorite dress thus far with RTR!  Fully expected to wear an 8 since my measurements mostly fell into that category, but was pleasantly surprised to use my back up size 6 instead!  Material is a great weight with some stretch and has an amazing, bouncy skirt.  I'm actually considering buying this one...

Fit great, loved the mesh detail at the bottom. I wanted something conservative for my husband's work conference, and this dress was perfect. I'm 5'3" and it was pretty short, but the conservative top balances it out. 

This brand is becoming my fave! The fit is always so perfect! I received many compliments on this dress. The flare of the skirt is very special 

Flawless experience with this first time rental.  Arrived on time, fit perfectly, easy to return.  Well made dress with beautiful seams.  Underneath is a jersey type stretchy layer that made this dress so comfortable.  Very cute flair at the bottom.  Being 5'2" I was concerned would be a little long on me, but fell nicely above my knee.  

I added this dress to my order as a back up style! My boyfriend and I chose a green dress for the wedding we went to, but I got worried that the shift wouldn't have enough give for my hips. Enter something with more of an A-line skirt. This dress felt like it was made for me - I loved it, all night.

This dress will be your go-to little black dress for a night out or dress it up for a day at the office. This classic fit and flare style looks great on most body types, and the fabric is comfortable with a lot of stretch so it will work with any cup size. It is fitted throughout the midsection, hip area and sleeves, so I recommend sizing up for your backup. In 3" heels, the hem hit just below the mid-thigh on me. Pair the Ella Carter Ryan Earrings and the Botkier New York Shoulder Bag for a night out or the Reed Krakoff Black Krush Tote and Elizabeth and James Accessories Windrose Pave Ring to own any conference room!

This is a lovely dress for a night out, could be a dress for work if worn with tights. I originally purchased this dress to wear to work but it is short and the sheer panel would make it a little scandalous if I wore to work without tights. The fabric is thick and stretchy, making it great for the arms and belly. The design has some flounce in the back giving your behind a great shape. 

Very comfortable. Received lots of compliments. Liked the length but I'm 5'2" and thought if I were any taller I'd feel uncomfortable due to my company's dress code - I work in a conservative industry. 

I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered a size larger than a normally wear. The size 6 fit but wasn't as flattering as the size 8. The sleeves on the size 6 were very tight - maybe Cross Fit is actually giving me more muscle there. 

I chose this dress for work. It fits really nice and I love the thick material. I also really like how it looks with thigh high boots. Unfortunately, it's a little short for work and I was pulling it down all day. Outside of work this dress would be great.

Comfy dress just ended up not looking as slimming on stage as I'd hoped for. 

Fit and looked great, but was just a bit short. Needed to take care when I bent over or sat down that it didn't ride up in the back. Other than that a great dress, very simple and easy to accessorize. 

It's hard to see how this dress actually looks from the picture on the model; you need to look at the photos of people wearing it.  It has mesh panels but the only one that you can see through is close to the bottom.  It's interesting and eye-catching but I also had a hard time getting the lining right so it didn't partly block the panel.  I like the long sleeves and the fabric was perfect for a fall event.  I wore it with tall black boots and I liked that look.  I'd recommend this dress but it wasn't my favorite rental from RTR.

Beautiful material that does well hiding flaws. 

There seemed to be no difference in the size 6 or the size 4. I did get several compliments on the dress but I did not feel great in it, I would have felt so much better in a larger size.  Over all a great dress just wish I'd listed to the reviews and ordered another size up.

The fit was comfortable and great for my event.  The underskirt was a bit short for my liking, and I had to adjust many times, but overall great dress!

I didn't even try the 6 because the 8 fit well. Thick and stretchy material hugged curves and showed some of them as well. Very comfortable. I thought it should have been a little shorter for my frame and short torso. Was definitely a fun dress.

Fit true to size. I usually wear a zero in pants and dresses. I did feel it ran a little short. I wore this to a work Christmas party. Instead of wearing black heels, I work black flats because it was a little short. Very comfortable to wear and fit great everywhere else. I would wear this again.
