I wore the stress to receive an award and had the privilege of being comfortable all night, long and looking stylish. 

Gorgeous dress, feels and looks very luxurious in person. The dress gives off two looks from two sides. Lots of fun! Got a lot of compliments. 

Great dress for a formal wedding. Velvet dress underneath has some boning structure that helped keep me comfortable. Be prepared to wear heels! The gold portion of the dress is a couple inches longer than the black portion and is quite long. I’m 5’8” and wore 2” heels and it still touched the ground.  I got compliments all night! 

Wore to a black tie optional wedding and received so many complements. Felt incredible! Classy but also so comfortable. and this dress in particular due to the draping in the front was very forgiving in the stomach area if you over indulge (like I did)! It's not super obvious from the model photos, but the black and gold piece are different lengths, which gives the dress visual interest. At 5'8, with 3 inch platforms the gold/yellow part just kissed the ground while the black velvet part was likely 2 inches above the ground. Great way to show off some shoes! I've rented a few Et Ochs dresses at this point and I think their designs really have a unique way of complementing women's bodies while also being unique in an understated way. 

Fit was great, didn't have to spend the whole night pulling it up or adjusting. The mustard fabric was v luxurious - a beautifully designed dress and comfy as well!

People were coming up to me all night with compliments. The black layer is stretchy so it's comfortable and the golden (with a green tint kind of?) drapes so no worries if the food's good it is velvet though -- I wore in early spring so just on the line of seasonal. Styled with teal accessories. A slay.

A little snug around my chest, but I think the rest of the dress fit fine! Maybe a little tighter than intended. Order TTS for that shift dress look. I love the contrast of the yellow against the black velvet! This dress feels like the perfect blend of classic and modern. 

Wore this to a black tie optional wedding and received tons of compliments. Velvet/satin contrast was elegant and the fabric felt good. Was 5 months pregnant and had great movement in the dress while not feeling like I was in a tent. Also wore 3.5” heels and the length was still flattering. 

Wore to an opening night of a Broadway show. Incredibly chic and understated elegance- it was a major hit. A little larger than expected especially in the bust. 

This is a really pretty dress but there’s little to no shape to it 

I rented this gown for a formal event and was disappointed by two main issues. First, the color was noticeably different from what was shown online—it appeared as a vibrant yellow on the website but arrived in a dull, mustard tone that altered the entire look I had planned. Second, the gown was much longer than expected—even with 10 cm (4-inch) heels, it still dragged on the floor. While the design is elegant, the color discrepancy and excessive length made it difficult to wear with confidence. I hope Rent the Runway updates the product photos and sizing guidance to better reflect the actual item.

Stunning dress, lots of compliments. The classic design makes it perfect for a special occasion. Highly recommended if you'd like to feel confident and chic! 

It fits perfectly. I am 5’4’’ and wore 5 inch heels and the length (R) was perfect. 

Wore this to a gala and it was gorgeous. Paired with black and gold necklace and earrings and black heels.

Was a little big in the chest area and was long but overall beautiful dress!

Beautiful dress, the satin flowed beautifully as I walked, and the velvet hugged into my waist. Extremely flattering! The satin part does fall longer than the velvet, so be aware when choosing shoes. I have a larger chest, but did need to wear a bra - it has boning! And elastic around the top - never had an issue with it staying up! Compliments all night, will keep this dress on rotation for any formal events, absolutely loved it!

This dress is just incredible! Carina felt like a supermodel!!!

Stunning - definitely more of a gold/green/yellow (I know that doesn't help) than that bright yellow but gorgeous

Fit so perfectly. Giving Kill Bill goes to the ball ya know? Rent it lovelies mwah

It was beautiful material but not right for my occasion 

This is perfect for maternity while not being a maternity dress. It's fitted at the bust and feels secure, while giving plenty of room to be flowy, elegant, and most importantly, comfortable. I'd also wear this again after pregnancy - many compliments! There is boning under the bust that did poke my stomach, but that should be an issue for normal use.

Loved this dress. I ordered it once before in a size 4 but wore a size 2 this time. Much better. Comfortable and elegant. Fabric was beautiful and not flimsy at all. Length was much better, but the dress has an asymmetrical drape that hangs a little on the side and that my husband kept stepping on. Dancing was a little problematic.  It’s still a beautiful dress that got lots of compliments. 

the velvet under layer was too tight and the two pieces were different lengths

Was too short and shape did nothing for me
