Wore this gown the Thursday before Halloween. This dress is very unique and fun. Modern Morticia couldn't be a better name. It runs pretty true to size, but be sure someone is with you when you put it on because it's a bit difficult to zip up! I ordered the 0L and am 5'7" and wore a 2 inch heeled boot. 

This dress is everything.  I wore it to a Halloween Gala and it could not have been better. Comfortable, flattering and sexy.  I’m typically a 2 and this was perfect. I’m only 5”2 and this was not too long once I put my heels on. Highly recommend this stunner.

I loved loved this dress! It was so perfect for my best friends rehearsal dinner. I had to give a speech in front of 70 plus people and felt beautiful and confident. It fit perfect all over, even the sleeves were a good length

It is a bit formfitting while still flattering. Length is perfect. The lace is smooth & not scratchy.
It's a lovely dress.

Would totally rent this dress again. I wore it to a cocktail party during a wedding weekend. This dress was sort of (dare I say) sexy without being too showy/flashy. I'm only 5'5" so I was worried that the 8L (only size available) would be too long, but with some 3.5 inch platforms I was fine. I even had some girls yell at me from across the street while out that night "Hey girrrrl! I love your dress!!!" Of course I shouted back "Rent The Runway!!" What a moment, hahaha. Now I just need to figure out where I can buy this one...

Being only 5'2", the length was a bit of an issue for me since I needed to wear flats - but since I rented it for a performance in a concert where I was standing in one place, the mobility was low on my priority list. Hard to see in the pic, but it was really fun how at first it came across as a simple long black lace dress, but then has the fun high-low leg twist. The guys in the band thought it was very sexy and fun! Got SO many compliments - would be very easy to dress up or dress down for any event. I will be renting again! 

I loved this dress! Snug in all the right places. Was a little tight to move the arms because the lace has no stretch but fine for one night. The see thru lace adds some modesty on the legs because the dress portion is short!  I wore a tall with 4 inch heels and the length was perfect.

I LOVED this dress. It fit perfectly and the lace made it super flirty - my BF couldn't keep his hands off me! The place we went wasn't super fancy but I didn't feel overdressed at all, it's the perfect mix of trendy and sophisticated. It was freezing so I paired with thigh-hi boots and stayed warm all night. Tons of compliments! Will definitely be renting again!

This dress is lovely and fit perfectly! I am very small and the 0R fit me great! I'm 5'2" and wore 6 inch heals and it was right at the floor. 

Able to wear a regular bra underneath which helps make me very comfortable- this dress covers you up but is very fitted. It's a great mix of classy with that lace and high neck, but super sexy with  the underneath hem being pretty short!  I got a lot of compliments! The only minor things to watch out for is the R was pretty short- I am 5'3 and with my high heels it was a touch too short, but really not an issue. The short dress with the long lace hem is a red carpet look I've always wanted to try. I definitely recommend this dress it  is a lot of fun to wear!

This is a beautiful dress! I wore this for a Venetian masquerade gala and got tons of compliments! I like its unique look. I'm 5'5ish and wore 100mm heels and the length was perfect!

It fits  perfectly. I'm 5'3 and the 2R fit me perfectly. I wore heels 5 inches tall and the dress didn't drag. It was cool out and I was still warm and super comfortable. Will be doing this much more! 

I loved this dress. I had a hard time sending it back. I am very short and was afraid this would be too long. With very tall shoes (which I am accustom to) this was not a problem. It was not uncomfortably tight, but extremely form fitting. I will definitely rent this dress again.

This dress for a work-related benefit event party...it can be dressed up with right jewels for a more formal occasion or worn to cocktail parties as well, depending on how you style it. It does run a little small, so one size up was a perfect fit, while the length fell nearly at my ankle with four-inch heels. 

I wanted it long, so the 4L was perfect for me with heels. Made it a bit more dramatic feeling.

Loved this dress. Wore it the rehearsal dinner  

I absolutely loved this dress! I wore it for NYE. It is elegant, glamorous, and has a retro or hippie chic look to it. I dressed it down with ankle boots and a long necklace.  I wish I didn't have to send it back!! Super flattering!

The dress fit perfectly. It was a little tight on my chest area, I have a 36D, but everywhere else fit really nice. I got the long and i am 5'7 & with heels it was perfect, just barely touched the floor. I was worried about my love handles sticking out, but I wore spanks and the dress itself really slims you down!

The dress was so easy to wear and received numerous compliments from both men and women. It was the perfect dress for an event where I was on the younger end of the age spectrum, so I did not want to stick out with something too flashy but at the same did not want something too stodgy. I am only 5'4" and with 4.5 inch platform heels, I was JUST tall enough to keep the dress off the floor. Wish I were a little taller so that the dress fit like on the model in the photo, but that is not the dress' fault so I did not take star off for that.

I rented this dress last minute for a black tie event in the city. I am normally a size 4 but since I decided to rent so last minute the size 4 was not available. I ended up getting a 6R which was a little big over the hips and in the arms but it wasn't too noticeable and quite frankly it was really nice to not have a super tight dress when you have to sit down for a 3 hour dinner and award show. The length of the dress was a little short for me as I was wearing 4" heels with a 1" platform so if I would rent this dress again I would go for a 4L in size. 

Overall I'm really happy with the dress and would recommend it for any formal affair such as a winter gala, wedding, holiday party etc.

I loved this dress! It fit perfectly and was so unique. I received so many compliments on it. I am  5'2" so I was nervous it would be too long but with my heels, it was perfect. I did wear about 4-5 inch heels though. If your looking for something unique and classy, I would highly recommend this dress!

For my birthday, I held an elegant murder mystery party at my house. Suggested attire was formal & black. The dress arrived on time, fit perfectly, and was really comfortable. I was worried it may be itchy, but it wasn't at all, it felt wonderful. I got more compliments on this dress than almost any dress I've ever worn! I'm 5'9" and wore the size 2L, paired with 3 inch heels it was still long enough.

This dress was gorgeous! RTR didn't have a 0 available so I opted for the 2. It was a little big in the waist but good for my chest and butt. The material doesn't stretch much but that made it very flattering. People complimented the dress all night long! This dress is a little long - I am 5'2 and with my 5 inch heels it was the perfect length. I highly recommend this dress for a fall/winter event!

Fit very nicely. Was also very comfortable and flattering. Ran true to size and looked great. I wore 3 inch heels and the length was perfect for me. Got a ton of compliments. Wonderful experience!!

The dress looked weird online, but amazing on my athletic/apple shaped body. I usually wear a size 8 or 6, but because of my rather large bust, I rented it in 10 and it fit perfectly. 

Such a fun dress !! Size is true to fit / maybe runs a slight big! Perfect for formal setting 

This dress was amazing!! It was my back up choice, but I'm so so glad I ended up going with this one! It was gorgeous and different, with tons of adorable little details like little buttons on the sleeves. It was totally fine to dance in, and the sleeves weren't constricting at all. I'm 5'8" and wore flats, and the long size was about two inches too long, but still beautiful. Everybody loved it, and so did I. It was weird to wear a dress that showed off the part of my body I'm the most self conscious about (my stomach), but I'm so glad I did it anyway, because it was stunning. 

The dress I am wearing in the picture is not the exact same dress the model is wearing. I tried on the dress the model is wearing and that lead me to order it. It fitted nicely in the store. However what arrived was different; but still beautiful nonetheless. I actually like the replica better.
 I tried it on and found that the dress rides up a bit on me. There seemed to be extra fabric in my lower back area.  I had to tug it down on occasion for it to contour to my body like it should.  This did not stop the compliments from coming. I was stopped and admired all night. No one at the event had on anything like it. It was unique, attention grabbing, and beautiful. I felt really good in it. It didn't make me feel like an old woman because of the lace or long sleeves. I felt age appropriate, sexy and sophisticated. I wouldn't change anything about it. 
I only had one issue, my bust size is 34C and my shoulders are strong. The top portion of the dress seemed a bit snug and when I initially put it on I was sure I was going to rip it. I really couldn't put my arms up comfortably to style my hair. However it wasn't so uncomfortable that I couldn't move. I did not feel restricted all night , maybe because I had no reason to put my hands up. So if you are going to dance make sure you select the right size. However, I would not have gone up a size because it fit the rest of my body fine. 

I would recommend this dress to others! 

I wanted to go with a black dress for my friends wedding but didn't want something boring so this was a great option. It was flattering and comfortable. Only downside was that it was a little long even with heels (I'm 5'9) and the lace occasionally got stuck in my heel when walking if I didn't pick up the dress. Besides that I definitely recommend this dress with a pop of color statement necklace! 

Hi Breanna! I am also 5'2" but love this dress. I am worried about it being too long though... with your heels on, how much of it was still gathered on the floor? Was it a problem?

Hi Emily! Hopefully I didn't respond too late for you to rent this dress! I wore about 3-4" heels and it wasn't bad. I wore some very stable wedges because you couldn't really see them under the dress. With this, the dress barely skimmed the floor.

Great! In that case, I think I can totally pull it off. Thanks for the advice Breanna! 

I LOVED this dress. It was just what I was looking to wear for a Halloween Masquerade. I received compliments all night long!
I'm very short so I had to wear tall heels and the dress still dragged a little. Wish they made more full-length gowns for us petite people!

Loved this dress from the front, but the zipper bunched up really awkwardly in the lower back... might have just been a dress flaw. 
Would have been perfect otherwise, but couldn't wear. 

Loved this dress! Fit like a glove and very comfy. Few fit notes, the black skirt underneath is a super mini (an inch or two shorter than I thought it would be) and the top around the busy fits very snug (and I am very small all around up top). So for busty women I would say size up. 

This was a fabulous dress. I wore it to a party when it was 40 degrees out and with a coat, I was plenty warm! I felt pretty and got so many compliments! I would def recommend renting this dress... I felt elegant, sexy, cool, and confident! 

Fit like a glove but it's structured enough to hide extra curves 

Really gorgeous dress, very comfortable to be in all day, and the sleeves helped in the bitter cold. Could be dressed up or down a bit with hairstyle and jewelry. Really loved it!

The dress has a tighter slip underneath but was still very comfortable. Fit very well and received a lot of compliments throughout the evening. Perfect for a fall wedding! I would wear it again. 

I wore this to a black tie wedding and it was perfect. It runs true to size and the length is great with 3" heels. My only complaint is that the lace at the bottom kept snagging on the outside of my heel's strap on my ankle. Luckily I brought an extra pair of heels with me and didn't have to deal with it all night, otherwise it would have been annoying. Also it's important to note that the black part of the dress does get really short when you sit. If you're going to wear any kind of undergarment, make sure there are no legs or it will show. Otherwise, I would 100% recommend this dress to anyone and think it would flatter any body type!

Fit to size.  Felt well made and not cheap.  
Hugged all the right curves and was a perfect style for a formal wedding.

LOVE this dress! Got so many compliments on it and felt good in it. It's conservative, but still showed skin, so it was a nice mix. I hate dresses, but I felt really comfortable in it. A little tight in the shoulder/arm area and bust, but other than that, good. I'm 5'7" about 150 lbs and I ordered the 12L, because I had high heels too, and it fit well all over but was too long. Should have ordered a 12R; that was my fault. Overall, FABULOUS dress! 

Loved this dress so much. Fit true to size but I went with the larger one because I have broader shoulders and there's not a ton of give in the lace, but it doesn't make it uncomfortable.  I considered purchasing this dress to have as a staple in my closet!

Very cute and comfortable dress! My only complaint would be the underneath black part is quite short, you sould see my undergarments when I was sitting down. I loved the lace overlay and sleeves, it really gave the dress a POP!

Wore to a school fundraiser "masquerade" ball. It's light weight and comfortable and somewhat slimming on my curvy body. Lots of compliments. 

I wore this dress to the opera.  I received compliments the entire night!  Mainly from strangers.  It was fitted perfectly to my body.  It had a slight stretch so it was comfortable to move in all night.  I am five three and the length was perfect with 3" heels.  It was sexy and unique. I may just buy it!

This dress was super comfortable and perfect for New Year's Eve. The sleeves/lace on the arms don't have any give which I was worried about but it was not as restriction as I thought it would be (especially on the dance floor!). 

Loved this dress! It was sexy while still being conservative. I wore it to a black tie creative gala with colleagues and I stayed warm while still feeling fashionable. The material is soft and stretchy, definitely size up if you're unsure of the size. I'm 5'5" and usually a size 2 in dresses and the 4R fit great. You can wear a regular bra.

I ordered this dress for a photo shoot. It wasn't my first choice but once I received it I fit perfectly for the shoot idea. I loved that it was a little long at the bottom. It gave that witchy look I was going for.  

This dress was perfect from the moment that I put it on to the moment I took it off I was so comfortable and loved dancing in it. The long dress is longer but it worked perfect with long heels. The only issue I had with this dress was that it was a little short because I have a booty

I rented this dress for Halloween. It was a little large, but not enough to make it noticeable while on. There was also a moderate sized tear in the lace along the leg that showed in photos. Overall, I would definitely recommend this dress.

Atleast 5 people commented on what a fabulous dress this was! It was very comfortable

This dress makes you feel like an everyday witch. So much fun. Lovely and absolutely stunning in pictures! I got a lot of compliments on this dress. 

This dress was classy but not too, too fancy. I had to size up because of the bust being too tight. Probably not the best for C and up cup sizes but I had to wear it because it fit perfectly everywhere else! I wore a 2 inch heel and the Long size was just a tad too long. Overall, I love this dress and wish I owned it! 

Dress is mostly fitted right around the mid section of the waist, so keep that in mind when ordering. Also, I wore two and a half inch heels with a 10R, and at 5'7 1/2", my shoes were still covered. However, if you plan on wearing higher heels (I'd say 4+"), consider ordering the same size dress in a Long, otherwise the hem of the dress may rise above your ankles.

Fit was great! I'm 5'3" and with heels the length was perfect! And the shipping bag was adorable!

I loved this dress! I wore it to a winter formal. It fit very comfortably and was flattering. If you are going to an event where you intend to do a lot of dancing, or you know will be very crowded then this dress may not be the best pick, or prepare to feel a little overheated. If you have larger arms then I recommend getting the backup size a size up from your usual. The lace sleeves don't really budge too much as far  as your upper arms go. Rent the Runway was fantastic and got my dress to me on time. I really love and recommend this dress!!

When my dress didn't arrive on time, I called RNR and within one hour Rebekah G. was able to find replacement and arrange hand delivery! So pleased with the outstanding level of customer service provided!! Thank you RTR and personal thank  you to Rebekah!
The dress is fit to size and very comfortable to wear. Throughout the evening I was getting tons of compliments. Be careful with the lace as it is very delicate. I would highly recommend to rent this dress  - you will not regret it.

It's fitted everywhere with not too much give, so I'd definitely get the backup size a size up. I ordered a 2R and a 4R, and ended up wearing the 4R, which gave me some room to breathe and maneuver. I wore it with black stiletto booties and accessorized with a black and gold necklace and bracelet. I would definitely rent this dress again. I felt powerful and stylish in it, and I got lots of compliments, so it much have come across!

I would never imagine I would look good in this style dress.  It is not something I have ever worn before and I don't think I would want to buy it because I don't think I would wear it enough.  But that is why I LOVE RTR!! I can try new styles and wear something I never would have otherwise.  The under-slip was the perfect length on me and and length was fine.  It touched the floor and I was wearing 4" heels, but I think the regular length would have been too long.  

I loved this dress and got a ton of compliments. The length was fine and that was my only concern before receiving the dress. I did wear 3.5 inch heels. 

Wore for a black tie optional wedding.  Was gorgeous and while not flashy received so many compliments.  Length was perfect with heals.  Very comfortable and fun to dance in as well.  

My normal size fit perfectly though it was a bit shorter than I would have liked. I am 5'6' and wear a 2. I was wearing 4 inch heels and the dress showed my shoes/feet completely. Other than that, I loved everything about it! I got so many compliments throughout the night. The quality was great too. Definitely recommend!

I originally rented this dress because I was attending a wedding and needed to hide a large tattoo on my back. This dress was one of the few that had a full back, and was also something that I found to fit my style. I was worried about finding the right size so I ordered this and an 8R, but this one fit perfectly. The length was perfect for heels too. The only issues I had were the arms were a little tight up top, so when I started dancing I couldn't lift my arms completely above my head. And there was a little bunching over the butt area, but I loved this dress so much and I got complimented as well. Highly recommended!

This dress fit beautifully and made me feel like the best dressed person at the event! It also hid a multitude of post-pregnancy body issues so I was thankful for that. It was slimming, elegant and a unique take on a classic black dress.
