Comfortable and fun dress. Wore a regular bra. Was a little long so wore very high heals. Many complements!

I rented this dress for a wedding I was performing at. I went with the 0P and it fit well. The shape is great and it has a lot of movement. Depending on the brand I usually wear 0-2. It also has some stretch to it which really helps.  I probably will end up buying the dress just to have since I play a lot of events/concerts. Would recommend!

The 4R was a perfect fit. I am 5'0" and 125 lbs. I wore 4" heels and the dress just touched the ground.  I felt like a princess all evening and received so many compliments.  You can wear with/without a bra. I wore a black bra...no issue as it blended with the pattern on the back. Do yourself a favor...rent this one!!!!

Pros: This dress is gorgeous! It is very comfortable and flows beautifully. The cut is extremely flattering, it has a high neck, but not too high. The material is comfortable and silky. It definitely has a glamorous, rock and roll feel to it. I honestly loved everything about this dress. And the back is a total show stopper!! 
Cons- the 4 was a little big on me, and my back up size wasn't available. I think because of the cut of the dress it looked fine, but I could have worn a 2. 

This dress is my favorite rental so far! It was sexy, elegant, and fun all in one. I received a lot of compliments. I usually wear a size 2 and the 0P was perfect. I am 5'6" and wore 3" heels; the dress almost touched the floor but the 0R would have been dragging. This dress is forgiving with love handles. It fits snugly enough that you don't have to adjust or worry about a wardrobe malfunction but it's also a comfortable fit in the belly area that you can eat a good meal and not look bloated. 

This was actually my back-up dress. I ended up wearing because my original choice was too long, but this one ended up being perfect! I wore to a school fundraiser, so I needed something more on the conservative side. The asymmetric hemline and the back kept it fun though. The fabric was heavier than I was expecting, which was a plus. I wore pasties underneath, but it was thick enough you could probably get away with nothing if you wanted. The design on the back is also intricate enough to hide a black bra if you want the extra support. So sad to send it back!

I was 5 months pregnant and was happy that this dross had a bit of give for my bump. I really loved the lace detail in the back! 

It's feminine, figure flattering and elegant, and  so unique. Definitely a stand out dress! I wore a backless strapless bra, so as to not take away from the detail on the back. My husband said it was his favorite dress ever! 

How was the mid section?
How was the fit in the mid section?

It runs a little big in the bust so going down a size would have been better for me but overall - perfect!
I would buy this dress today!

It was truly a perfect fit. Tailored to the waist, quality fabric that falls perfectly. I wore low beams instead of a bra and that was great coverage with the open back. The back is stunning and some simple acessories look great with it. I wore a 4R, usually a 6. A 6R would have been huge. I was a t a wedding of 40 people and 10 people came up to me and raved about the dress. So, 40% of the people complimenting is pretty darn good.  Very comfortable. Very flattering. Just perfect.

The dress was comfortable and stylish. I have no cons. It was just right. 

Had a nice amount of stretch, was such a stunning dress on. 

This dress is great material.  High quality and fit true to size for my curvy/athletic figure.  It was great to dance in and loved spicing it up with my pink shoes and eklexic bracelet.  Wish I owned this beauty.  Would totally rent it again!!!!

I was very impressed by this dress from Rent the Runway.  I wore the size 12 and it fit VERY well.  I was worried about wearing the sticky bra, but because the dress is cut so well there was support from the dress as well as the sticky bra.  It was snug getting it zipped up, but as I wore it I felt comfortable and supported.  I'm a 36DDD and had enough room in the bust.  The length was perfect for me, even with heels and I loved wearing something with the detail in the back.  Perfect dress, perfect evening, 

Awesome dancing dress, makes you feel fantastic! Thick material but well made. I have crazy pictures from the gala of me dancing on stage everything was awesome! Also, my dress size is an 8 but the 6 fit perfectly fine. I have a small bust and 42' hips so those measurements might be helpful for other ladies with curves. = )

Was wanting to rent this dress for sometime now.  I wore it to an afternoon wedding. It fits great all over.  I got lots of compliments on it because of the interesting back design. It flows really nice too and not heavy.

It does run slightly big, enough that if I had ordered the 4 I would probably wear it. But the 6 fit just a little loose by my chest. I got a ton of compliments on this dress, and I would rent it again for another occasion! 

Although the back is beautiful, my favorite part of this dress was the lay. The fabric was heavy and very high quality. It wasn't skin tight (which I was happy about) but because it laid so elegantly it was extremely flattering. The bottom was gorgeous and it was a blast to dance in. I wore a nude bra and you couldn't tell a bit. Loved this dress!

Fit was true to size and super-flattering!  The front of the dress is conservative, and the exposed right leg balances out the look.  The back of the dress is totally unexpected with the laser cut detail.  I got a ton of compliments on this dress and felt fantastic all night.  

I wore this dress to my grandfathers annual black and white party, it was perfect! Everyone loved it! I love the asymmetrical hemline and the detailing on the back. Since part of the back is see through I  wore a strapless black bra and it looked like it was apart of the dress. It was so comfy and breathable (there was lots of dancing). This dress does fit true to size and has a little give in the fabric. Definitely recommended :) 

This dress fit great.  The fabric was lovely and there was just enough sexy for a bit of an edge.  I got a ton of compliments throughout the night.  

Absolutely LOVED this dress.  It's a perfect party dress.   You can dance the night away, be comfortable, and still be the most elegant in the room!

I never would have taken the chance on this dress and ordered it online without trying it on, but was able to go to a store and try it on and loved it! It's not super easy to wear since the back detailing makes wearing a bra difficult and the length might be a bit long on some. The real beauty in the dress is both the back detailing and how it moves, I've never worn a dress that was so much fun to twirl around in! It looked very sophisticated at my formal holiday party and I would definitely wear this dress again. 

 I wore this dress to a formal black tie gala and it was perfect - it's understated and classy, but at the same time fun and interesting with the asymmetrical hem and unique back (which by the way isn't entirely open, the design is sewn into a mesh-type material). The material is heavy but forgiving, making it very comfortable and flattering (and doesn't wrinkle!). I'd definitely rent this again!

Loved this dress! So fun and perfect for giving a talk in.  The asymmetrical hem worked well given that I'm tall and it didnt look short.  I wore a backless and strapless bra which worked well.  I could probably have gotten away with a nude bra but it would show through in the back.  The dress was only a little loose but you couldnt tell because the cut was great. 

Hi Katharine -- just wondering what kind of backless bra you ended up being able to wear with the dress and what kind of tape you used? I&#39;m considering renting this one but am concerned about the bra situation.

I want to be married and buried in this dress; I seriously fell in love.  The cut is very flattering and the skirt has a great"twirl" factor that is great for an event with dancing.  I had to wear a backless bra and tape, so I'm not sure about the people who went without.

I wore the 12R and it was slightly big in the chest area and I'm a 36D. The 10R was too snug. I was comfortable and I loved the length. You'll need a strapless bra but can wear regular panties if you want. No lines show through.

Less is more with this comfortable and unique classic black dress. Pair with diamond earrings, diamond bracelets, ring and the right silver sandals and you've got an elegant dress for that gala! Stretchy fabric is forgiving and comfy. Wear your hair up to show off the unique embellished back! (Go bra less!) the hemline is gorgeous & adds to the felinity and flow of the dress! I will definitely rent this one again! Lots of compliments too!  

I ordered  my size and it was a perfect fit. I love the dress and so did a lot of people.Another guest commented"you have my vote for best dress of the nite"

The dress fit wonderfully well for off-the-rack.  I do wear a size 4 normally, but I'm short and flat-chested, so I'm used to clothes fitting me a bit long and a little loose under the arms and in the chest. This dress was no exception, but as you can see from the photo, it's no big deal. I wore a clear strapped bra to fill me out a little and so straps wouldn't show through the cutouts in back. The crepe material made it easy to wear, no wrinkling. Overall, a very appropriate and unique dress for a formal occasion. People commented on how young it made me look!

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED everything about this dress! The back is super unique and sexy. The high-low effect allowed for me to show off my legs but still have a "long" dress. The shortest part fell just at the knee and the longest part would have touched the ground without any shoes.  I wore 5" heels with it. I wore a Nu-bra with it which I had never done before. The dress was nice a fitted at the top so the bra smoothed things out while the dress kept things in place. I danced all night without any worries and I'm fairly busty. I highly, highly recommend this dress if you are looking for something a little edgy and different without being loud. I think you could easily dress this down for a semi formal affair with different jewelry and shoes.

What kind of bra did you wear with the dress?

This was dress was sent to me as my second choice since the dress i initially wanted was damaged :o( Because the stylist couldn't find the color i originally wanted i opted to go safe with a black dress, and I'm glad they offered me this one!!! An absolute stunning and elegant dress! Simple but made a HUGE statement. I loved the flow of the dress and the length to highlight any fabulous pair of shoe, if you're a shoe fanatic like I am! Very comfortable dress to move around in, and OMG the back of the dress just GORGEOUS!! All in all and hands down i couldn't have received a better replacement. Actually liked it better than my original choice! Will definitely rent this dress again!!!

Black dress with a twist...  Loved the hemline, the heavy fabric and the dramatic back.  Found a great statement necklace which I think the conservative neckline needed.  Probably could have gone with a size 4 (might run a little big) but it's very forgiving size-wise.

The fabric was a nice weight, lined. and had a full flowing skirt (great for twirling!). I recommend not wearing a bra with this dress so you can show off the back detail. It was snug enough with just a little stretch that I didn't need one.  The A-line cut was so flattering. This dress is gorgeous with just the right amount of edge. 

Wore for a gala event and was formal enough among others in long sequin gowns.

From the front it is pretty plain but the high low cut of the dress is beautiful with nice heels. The back has a mesh type detail that pretty and makes the dress more formal and not just a plain LBD. I was able to wear a normal bra. I wore nude so you can see the detail of the back still. I actually purchased this during a sale and am glad to have in my closet forever because I see it getting use over the years! 

This dress fit like a glove and it was so fun to dance in! It was elegant and sexy, but I didn’t feel like I was over doing it. Since I’m a pear shape, I was able to size down. I’m usually a 8/10 on the bottom. The mesh back had some wear on it, so it didn’t had that “new” feeling. But I loved the dress anyway! 

I wore this dress to a friend's wedding and got compliments the entire night. The lace detail on the back of the dress is interesting, the color allows you to be versatile or daring with shoes/accessories BUT the CUT of the dress is the best feature. The dress flowed and "swung" perfectly for the right balance of sophistication and sassy. The only con: a little too long for me (I'm 5'3)-- and I stepped on the long tail of the dress a few times while dancing. 

The dress ran a little big on me but still worked well. Really heavy beautiful material and an incredible back. 

The fit was true to size. Very comfortable fit. 

I wore this dress to a "black tie preferred" (whatever that means) event. I was hesitant to wear black because I usually opt for flashier ensembles, but I didn't know anyone there, so I played it safe...but not too safe! This dress has a little something extra with the asymmetrical hem and cut out in the back (which I think is a koi fish?).

I tried on my usual size 8, but, like other reviewers have mentioned, the 6 fit better, thanks to the free hip measurement. Where previous reviewers led me astray, though, was in the undergarment department: I definitely needed a bra for this look. The fabric is thick and certainly not see-through, but there just wasn't enough boob squishage to make me feel comfortable going without one. I ended up wearing one of those stick-on bras with the clear sides and it worked perfectly. And speaking of undergarments, I was worried that the top of my high-waisted chonies would peek out the bottom of the back cutout, but they were fine.

I felt comfortable and fabulous all night!

The dress was comfortable and fit like a glove. The back of the dress stole the show. 

The dress flows and makes you feel like you floating. The material is a little heavier than I expected, but I liked it because it kept the integrity and shape of the dress. I wore it to a wedding and it made dancing so much more fun. The back of the dress is the beautiful detail. I have to take a picture of it. It's very comfortable to wear. I would definitely wear this again.

The dress was amazing. Fit was perfect and the back looked awesome. It hugged in all the right places without being tight or restricting. I want to own this thing, that’s how beautiful it is. Got to a of compliments. Be careful if you are someone who ends up taking off your heels, the length is easy to get tripped up on once those come off. 

I LOVE this dress! The details are stunning. The dress is very comfortable and incredibly flattering. 

So so so comfortable!  I wore a 10... my normal size is a 12.  It was comfortable and not too tight.  The dress material is nice and not too thin, so I was able to get away with wearing pasties and no bra (score!).  I got tons of compliments on this dress!  I felt very chic and fancy :)  Perfect for my work Holiday Party!

Fabric comfortable, and soft. No cons. Really nice dress.

This dress fit perfect! I am petite 5'2", approx. 115 lbs and 32A. Many compliments, especially on the back detail of the dress. Another great experience with RNR. If there was an option to buy I would. 

Dress hugs all the right places, the cutouts are super cool, got compliments on it. The hem makes spinning and dancing really fun since it's so flowy. Highly recommend! 

Fits beautifully, true to size. Material is quality but a little heavy. 

Pictures do not do this dress justice! I wore this to a black tie wedding and received so many compliments. It was easy to dance in and fit perfect. 

I felt lovely in this dress, to the point I was sad to send it back. It was great to dance in it.  
The dress runs large.  Typically, I run between a 4 and a 6, but as they were out of the 6, I ordered the 4 and 2P.  Surprisingly, the 2 fit best without shapewear (I can't breathe in those things so don't tend to wear them).  The petite length was better with my height. The dress seemed to have a bit of wear but not enough to prevent me from wearing it.  

I'm 5 months postpartum and needed something classy for a black tie wedding since most of my formal dresses don't fit at the moment. This dress was perfect!! The cut and material was very flattering. The high low skirt added just the right amount of drama. The back was fun and I was still able to wear a regular bra. The 4 was a tiny bit tight under the arms but I made it work. The 6 would've been more comfortable but wasn't available since I ordered so last minute. 

This was my backup dress for a black tie optional fundraiser. I loved the look and style of the dress but I didn't wear it because I thought the torso didn't fit right. It pooched out a little just below my waist and made me look slightly pregnant. Either that or it was not quite the right length in the torso--but I'm not sure if it was too long or too short! My husband preferred this dress on me but I just thought it was too big--and this was a 0P! Could have used a 00.

I liked this dress- not my favorite rental but I did like it. I love how it's different lengths and how the fabric cascades down- has a dramatic romantic feel to it. The back was also really cool. It is flattering also. But because I am on the shorter side, the fabric on the long side was very long and I had to hold it a lot, especially on the dance floor. Overall I was happy and it was beautiful and unique!

So sorry I can't remember which size I wore but I do remember both the 4 and 6 worked.  It's very forgiving dress.  I think I wore the 4.  Picture speaks for its self!  It's a classy, sophisticated, flattering dress, the back is stunning.  Im average build 5'4" and hourglass. 

The fit was perfect. Loved the train and asymmetrical hem on this dress! I can't wait for my next RTR purchase to arrive!! 

This dress is gorgeous! Classy with a little bit of sass. Was a bit worried when only the 0R was available, but it fit like a glove! Felt like it was made for me. Wore to a black tie optional wedding. It was perfect for dancing. If you're looking for a twist on your next little black dress, this is it! 

The fit was perfect.  I did wear support garments.  The length was good also.  I'm 5'3" and 160 pounds.  I normally wear a size 10.

Great dress and very comfortable. Would rent again! This dress is stretchy at the top so I recommend getting a smaller size. I wore the 0R. 

First time using RTR and I loved this dress! I was able to wear a smaller size because I am smaller on my top. Tons if compliments. 

The dress was perfect. It fit just right as soon as I put it on. It wasn’t too loose or too tight. Because of my height, it did drag on the floor slightly. All in all, a very pretty, easy to wear dress.

Not the most flattering photo, but I'm usually the one behind the lens. I'm the photographer for one of the featured bands and a gubernatorial Inaugural Gala. I had to find something formal enough for the event and unencumberome enough to work. The asymmetrical design of this dress allowed me the freedom to shoot while still being elegant enough for the gala. Would absolutely recommend this dress for anyone looking for comfort and style!

This dress is amazing! The high low cut makes it fun and flirty and the back detail is so beautiful! The material is thick and high quality! It is fitted and with the detailing of the back I didnt want a bra to be visible or see the lines so I wore pasties. It was perfect!

It fit perfectly.  Caught everyone's attention at my work holiday party.  I loved it so much!  Wish I could have kept it.  Highly recommend it for pretty much any occasion!

I wore this dress to officiate my brother's wedding. I was looking for something formal but not flashy, simple but not drab - and this dress fit the bill perfectly. It's a bit tight up top and has a defined waist, but drapes beautifully at the hips - great for ladies with more of an hourglass/pear-shaped figure. What really sets this dress apart are the little details that make it fun: the asymmetrical hem and the lace on the back. The fabric is thick and stretchy so it hangs well and really does hide imperfections (I was three months postpartum and felt super comfortable in it.) I was a bit worried about the length since I'm on the shorter side (5' 4"), but with 3 inch heels the hem just barely grazed the floor. Honestly for the price of the rental I think this dress is a bargain. I wouldn't hesitate to rent it again!

Wonderful, beautiful dress.  I am 5'9", and weigh 165, athletic build. I usually wear a 10.  The 8 fit well. No problem at all. This is a great dress for many different occasions. Very comfortable and fun to dance it because it swings around. 

I ordered a 0R and 0P but both dresses shipped were 0R, so I'm glad the length worked! I'm 5'4" and wore 4" block heels. In pics, it appeared to be a plain black dress but was much better in person and with  good lighting to show back detail and asymmetrical hem length. Great dress for dancing and twirling!

I am really short (5 feet), so the longest part of the dress did touch the floor which stressed me out. I wore 2.5 in heels. Although the dress was long, I was never stepping on it and I barely even realized when I wasn't looking in a mirror. The rest of the dress fit perfectly and I loved it. I got so many compliments and it was very fun to dance it. Loved the black because I got to pair it with a fun, floral shoe. Definitely would recommend and have recommended to so many people already!

Boyfriend and I did a fun dinner date and went to a restaurant with a live jazz band. This dress was so much fun to dance in! It is so comfortable, the material isn't heavy, and whenever he turned me, the skirt would flare around. I am usually a size 2, but I am pretty short (5ft) so I ordered a 2 petite and for back up I got a size 0 regular. The 2 was a little too big for me on the chest and stomach area (bra size 34A) but the length was just right. I went with the 0R because it hugged on top perfectly and I was going to be wearing heels so the height was not too much of a problem. I got so many compliments! From the hostess to the ladies I bumped into in the restroom. To be honest I was a *little* overdressed for my occasion. I was at a restaurant where a lot of people were in jeans and a nice shirt, but even knowing that now, i still would've chosen the same dress. It's an elegant dress but the flirty cut on the bottom makes it perfect for a lot of occasions! 

This would not have been my first choice, but I decided too late to rent for this "black tie optional" wedding, and I kept coming back to this one because of the little details that made it different from your normal LBD - the asymmetrical hem, and, OMG, the back! It is true that it makes it difficult to wear a bra (I wore a Brazee that I got from RTR a while ago), because not only is the black sheer, but it really does start toward the side. I normally wear more form fitting dresses (sheaths), so to have such a flowy dress was different for me, and I liked it. I felt completely comfortable all night long. The dress is LONG, though. At 5'7 in 3.5-inch heels, the 4R was manageable. When I switched to my flats for walking back to the car at the end of the night, the dress would have dragged had I not carried it like a train. The 4R was the only size available, but I think I could have easily fit into a 2, and the tightness in the chest might have made me able to go bra-free.
