Fits true to size, if you have a bust C or move you need a size up because it will not zip.  The length was great even for my height of 5'2.  

Bodice is very snug, no stretch to the fabric. The skirt sweeps around you when you walk like a dream (or gets blown by the wind pretty easily as evidenced), but was only long enough for very low heels. I disregarded the rental warnings about the dress length, but I wish I would have heeded them. I assumed since I'm only 5'1" I could get away with the R, but I'm wishing I would have tried the L to open my shoe options up a little more.

the dress fit perfectly! A bra can be optional with this dress because it has good coverage. 

The fit was wonderful through the rib cage and waist. If I was a little bigger on top to fill out the dress it would have been even better. I did use tape to keep one section in place. I could have gone a size 4  but it was not available and the 6 did have a little snug fit through the ribcage. This dress did have pockets which was a pro! I Loved how the dress flowed. 

I loved this dress! It was amazing, SO flattering, and funnily enough those pockets are so handy during my prom and completely hidden! Not even my date knew they were there!

I rented this dress for prom and it was perfect. It was absolutely gorgeous and looked fantastic on. I had planned on wearing the 10 but it became unavailable at the last minute so RTR sent me the All Eyes on You gown as a 10. Both dresses fit, but I chose this one to wear. I got SO many compliments on it and even had a few people ask me about it the next week at school!! The only problem I had with it was it was a little big through the bust/torso, but I feel like that was because I had to wear the next size up. Other than that it wouldn't have been more amazing! 

All i have to say is this was my favorite dress I've rented. It fit perfect. I felt so elegant and I didn't want to return it. 

I ordered a 0 and a 2, and I ended up wearing the 0.  Per the other reviews I knew the top wouldn't have much give, which turned out to be true, but it was fine since I don't have much on top :)

I did have to run out and buy a pair of fancy flats, because anything higher than one inch would have made the hem too short - and I'm only 5'4 and a half.  I wasn't too upset about having an excuse to wear flats, though!

I felt glamorous and elegant, and it was the perfect thing to wear to a black tie wedding.  I happily accepted several compliments throughout the night!

Hi Amy! We suggest wearing 3' inch heels if you are also 5'1!

I wore this dress to my senior prom, and I can't tell you how many compliments I received. The shipment arrived on time (though a little later in the day than I had hoped), the dress fit like a glove, and the fabric was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 

The dress was very beautiful and the experience was awesome. Be warned though, it is quite short! I am about 5'5' and the dress was several inches too short for me. I wore it to my prom and loved it. 

This dress was lovely. It was comfortable and gorgeous. I loved wearing it. I wore a 6R which seemed to be a nice length. I'm about 5'5 and wore 2 inch heels. I loved this dress and received many compliments.  

You look stunning in this dress! I have been going back and forth about whether to get it or not for a black tie wedding I am going to soon and I am sold now. I love love love the way you did you're hair back with it and your earrings. :)

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding. It was so amazing, got so many compliments, felt like such a princess in it. The red is the perfect color red. I am 5'4 and with 4 inch heels this dress was the perfect length. I am typically a size 4 in dresses and wore a 4 in this. The size 2 was a little bit too snug. Would definitely recommend this dress, the fabric was so flowy and comfortable. I was sad to send it back!!

Hi Margaret, the top of this dress runs 1 size small however the skirt is full so there is no fit in the hips! 

hi i just rented this size for prom but dont know if it is going to it me? do you normally wear a size 6 in jeans? and was the top snug at all?

I loved this dress! I felt very elegant and classy in it. I wore it to the International Ball at the Naval Academy and it was perfect for the occasion. It was a bit long but when I put my heels on it was the perfect length. Loved the pockets on it.  I had so many people come up to me and tell me how great this dress looked. I recommend this dress to everyone!

I rented this for a black tie wedding and highly recommend it!! I stood out in a sea of black dresses in a good way. It definitely runs small - I am usually a 6 or 8 and rented the 10 which was still a bit snug. But it worked since it was not a form fitting dress. I am 5'4" and ordered the long per the fitting instructions. In 3" heels it was about 1" too long but I made it work. Loved that it had pockets, too!

Do you perhaps have an accurate description of the fabric of the dress?  I was wondering if it was a sort of silk, satin, polyester mix... etc for my boyfriend to match my dress with his vest and tie.

Hi Alfie! Here is the fabric: Red silk satin top and charmeuse skirt(100% silk; 100% polyester lining). 

I rented this beautiful dress for a Mardi Gras ball and I absolutely loved it! The dress was super comfortable, and the skirt flowed beautifully - it has a lot of layers, but it's not heavy at all. The only concern that I have is that for those on the taller side, this dress will definitely run short if you wear the regular length. I am 5'2", and when barefoot, this dress just barely flowed onto the floor; in 4" heels, it came up about 3/4" from the ground. The length was perfect for me, because I wasn't tripping over the dress all night; if you're tall, definitely go for the longer length. Another tiny concern was that the bodice was a tight fit even with an unpadded strapless bra; the dress was perfectly comfortable and fit well without it, but I wish I would have been able to wear one. Overall, the dress fit pretty much exactly how I expected it to, and the shorter length was great for me. It's a great dress if you want to totally blow people away!

you look BEAUTIFUL. Seriously. I'm 2 inches shorter than you and I'm considering this dress and omg seeing this picture makes my heart melt. Didn't know a petite girl could look this great in a long gown.

this dress looks amazing on you! i ordered the black one because this one is all booked. i really hope it looks as good as the red!

This photo does not do this dress justice.  It's absolutely beautiful.  I ordered a 0 and a 2.  The 0 fit except in the top and I have a small chest.  So I went with the 2 and I loved it!  I didn't think it was short, but then again I'm 5' 2" so it fit perfectly.  It's flowy and gorgeous, so flattering!  I highly recommend this dress!  I also wore them with Rodrigo Otazu's Flash of Crystal Earring ... so classy, loved it!

I'm 5'3" and ordered the R because I wanted to be able to wear flats and it was a great choice. The dress was the perfect length with flats. I received so many compliments. The dress looks so stunning in person and photos. It is also very comfortable and with cute pockets! 

The dress realy feels good and has a lot of drama in it. Though there were some snugs and runs in the dress but it was not that noticeable. Color was the right kind of red I was looking for, Was a bit short i'm at 5'7 but wore it with a 2 inch heel shoes. Got a lot of compliments and the entire renting process was amazingly hassle free. Looking forward to my next event.

Hi Ciarra, we recommend the long if you're above 5'4" and going to wear heels! The Long measures 59” from shoulder to hem and will be floor length on a 5’4” woman in 3” heels. 

You look beautiful!!  That color looks amazing on you!!

What necklace do you have on? Its stunning!

Did you find the dress regular dress size to short? Do you remember about how high of heels you wore and how far off the ground the dress was?

Gorgeous dress!  Runs small up top and short (I'm 5'5'' and small chested so it fit perfect). I wore low heels and the dress was just above the floor.  The bodice is tight fitting without undergarments, so order a larger size for a larger chest size.  The material is amazing and the overall effect is stunning!  This is an amazing dress!

I needed this dress to walk through the Ring at the Citadel with my boyfriend. He was getting his ring and as a tradition each senior walks through this giant ring with two ladies. The size was amazing, the color was absolutely stunning. I love that it has pockets. I ordered a 6R and an 8R and I chose the 6R because it fit so well. This dress is amazing and I definitely suggest it to anyone going to a nice event. 

Im about your height and I would like to know about the length of the dress .was it long short? what heels did you wear?

Hi Sohony, this gown in the Long length runs 59” from shoulder to hem so you would want to wear a 2" or shorter heel if you are the same height as Lauren. 

Was the dress short?  I'm 5'6" and concerned that I won't be able to wear heels!

I got the dress in both a 6R and 8R. I'm about 5' 8" and normally wear a 6, but I'm a little busty, and the 8 ended up fitting better. I'm 25 and rented the dress for a black tie wedding. The dress is the perfect age appropriate, but not to showy dress for a wedding. Not to mention the slit and the pockets make it totally unique!

Everything about this dress was perfect except for the fact it was too short! There was no long option so I gambled for the regular and it hit me at the ankle. It was okay because I took my shoes off to dance but when I had them on it was almost tea length. Definitely would have ordered a long if it had been an option. 

I had my eyes on this dress for a while, so when I got this opportunity to walk on the Red Carpet at a pageant, I had to rent this. Unfortunately it was not available in size 4, but I still ordered size 2 and 6 thinking that I would make them fit somehow. To my disappointment, size 2 went unavailable too. After some back and forth with the stylist, I recieved this in size 6 and two other dresses in size 2 and 4. I ended up wearing this dress in size 6. It was slightly loose around the waist but not noticiable.
All in all, I loved wearing this dress and ended up winning Mrs. India West Coast and Star TV People’s Choice 2012 Mrs. India America titles.

It photographed really well and it flowed beautifully. Great choice! Fit perfectly at the waist and flowed at the bottom.

it was a bit short for my height. im 5'4" and it was about an inch off the ground for me so i had to wear flats to prom but it wasnt that bad. 

Amazing dress, got great compliments all night. 

This dress was amazing and fit beautifully. It did squish my bust down a bit but it didn't look uncomfortable or awkward.

Once I put this on, I felt like a million bucks. If you want endless compliments, this is the dress for you. I wore 1.5" heels and it was perfect. I could have worn my 4" heels and the length would have still be fine but a bit off the ground which is fine for me. I did get my heels caught at the hem of the dress at times, but it may be due to having to chase my little ones. This is also a very comfortable dress.

I picked this as a back up dress, and wound up wearing it because it's just gorgeous. The top is very tight, I wound up going without a bra to fit in it, but it didn't budge once I was in it. It's very flowy, and the regular length is not very long, I wore 2 inch heels with it and the hem was off the ground. Make sure you get a nice bracelet for the arm that's not covered, and if your clutch is too small, there's two pockets in the dress!

I rented this dress for my daughter for prom, unfortunately it didn't fit her. She has a very large chest (36DD) and the fabirc has absolutely NO GIVE. Just a warning to any one who would like to wear it, consider sizing up if you are larger in the chest area. The dress itself was stunning, soft flowy fabric, with hidden pockets (love those). Beautiful color as well.

The fabric is luxurious & very comfortable. I felt beautiful the entire night. 

This was my first experience with Rent the Runway, and it far exceeded any of my expectations.  Loved that I could choose two dress sizes.  I ordered the 2 and 4 in this dress, fully expecting that the 4 would be the best fit. However, it was the 2 that I wore.  I tend to carry my weight in my hips and bum, so I don't think this dress runs big, I just think that the cut was generous in my larger areas.  The dress in "R" is SHORT.  I am only 5'2" and without heels the hem didn't even touch the floor.  It was absolutely perfect for me, but I can see that anyone taller then me might want to order the dress in long.  All in all, the dress was comfortable and beautiful.  The fabric is light and allows for great movement.  I would wear it again in a heartbeat, but since RTR has such a great selection, I think I'll try something new next.

This dress completely suprassed my expectations my daughter was the bell of the father daughter ball in this. Completely stunning! The material was so comfortable this young lady danced with her dad all night long! Even in 6 inch heels this dress swayed along the dance floor! 

I rented this dress for New Year's Eve along with the Carmen Marc Valvo "All Eyes on You Gown".  I ordered an 8R and a 10R of this dress, and a 8 for the CMC dress.  The 10R fit me well enough, but the waist hit a little low and made me look very hippy...  The CMV 8 fit much better and was even a little loose... so this must run small compared to other dresses.  I have rented very frequently and usually end up in the sizes 8 or even a 6.  Beautiful Dress, very flowy, but just didn't look good on me.  I am trim, not curvey, but not a toothpick. small chest - and a bigger but than I would want...  eek admitting weight outloud down below :( 

This dress is gorgeous!  The way the skirt floats when you walk makes you feel like a million - it took everyone's breath away.  Although the regular length it is shorter than others, I was able to wear 1.5 inch heels and still have the skirt grace the floor.  The bodice was tight as other have mentioned, so it may have been even more flattering the next size up, but it was not available.

I wore this dress to a friends wedding and got so many compliments on it! It is flowy enough where you are comfortable but still gives your body a good shape. I am pretty busty and it was a little loose on the side with no sleeve, but not too bad so I wore it anyway. It looked perfect!

This dress is just beautiful. It looks a bit worn when you inspect it up close, but from afar no one would have been able to see the imperfections. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with my sizes and I didn't get the 8L that I needed. The 10L was a bit large, but could have worn by using fashion tape to hold it in the right place.

I This dress is beautiful - it flows so nicely when you walk (especially with the slit) and it fit perfectly. I am normally a size 4 and 5' 8" but I followed the reviews and ordered a size up  - the 6L fit great. I wore it with 4 inch heels and the dress flowed maybe an inch off the ground. Good to know if you are tall - you may want to wear slightly shorter heels. 

I wore the dress to a black tie event and got a lot of compliments. I highly recommend it!

Hi! If you are 5'5" i would suggest renting the L in this gown. That way you can wear a 3-4 inch heel!


I am a 4 also.. how tall are you and how short was it? I am 5'5' and i would like to be able to wear heals

Beautiful dress!  I'm a 4 and it was tight on the top ~ a 6 would have been more comfortable.  I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was too short and they were out of longs!

So, this dress is not fitted as it appears on the model?

Beautiful gown and loved the color!!! However I followed the reviews on here and went up in size and that was a mistake because it fit big on me. I didn't wear it because it didn't look flattering on me! I think this dress will look better on someone who is straight and narrow.
