Perfect dress! It was a little big through the back and waist, however not noticeably so. I would rent over and over!! I got so many compliments!! 

This dress was so comfortable. It's not flashy, but the understated fabric is classy and forgiving. I pinned the front up a few inches so the plunge wasn't as deep. By doing this, I didn't even need tape to keep the fabric in place. 

Because it is pretty low cut I couldn't wear a bra, but the dress held the girls in and I had no worries when on the dance floor! It showed off my curves while still being one of the most comfortable dresses I've worn. Received endless compliments!

This dress was so comfortable and elegant!  Loose on top for me, so fashion tape was a must (front and back).  Danced all night without any wardrobe malfunctions!  Length was to the floor when I wore flats.

Sorry I don't have any full length photos yet.  I rented petite sizes only because there were no regulars available.  After reading all the reviews, I figured this would be fine for fit on my body, but the length would be my issue and this was correct upon receiving the sizes I rented (0P and 4P).  The 0 fit quite well, but was just a touch short on me - I am about 5'9".  I wore flats and it was fine.  The 4 was too baggy and not appreciably longer, so I stuck with the 0.  I think a 0 regular would have been perfect, if it had been available (I am typically a size 2-4, so definitely order a size smaller).  Like other renters mention in their reviews, it definitely requires some double-sided tape to keep the fabric in place on your chest to ensure carefree dancing without accidentally exposing yourself.  I happened to be quite flat chested, so I can't comment on how this dress would fare for a fuller chester individual, but for my fellow small breasted ladies - this dress looks amazing!  I recommend this dress to anyone with a formal event to attend.  It was gorgeous, elegant, and comfortable!

Ended up wearing the smaller back-up size.  Also, highly recommend some dress tape to help keep the front in place :) 

I ordered this dress to go to a banquet where my husband was receiving an award and it was perfect for the occasion.  The regular was perfect floor length for flats, if I wanted to wear heels I would've needed a long.  Having a larger chest I was concerned but it provided plenty of coverage, but beware it is very low cut.  Overall it runs a little larg, but it was a great dress. 

It was the perfect length with about 2.5 inch heels. Also, this was after I had to pin up the halter strap a few inches as it was way too long - it hung down too far as is (I'm 5'3'') Sticky dress tape is a must for the front and the sides! 

I wore this to a charity black tie event and I got endless compliments on this dress!  I haven't worn a floor length gown since my prom, so I was a little nervous selecting a dress for this event. This actually ended up being my backup dress and I loved it. It was elegant, yet showed some skin without showing too much. It was very comfy too! I personally forgot to buy fashion tape but didn't really need any since I have a smaller chest, the dress fit PERFECTLY! If you have a larger chest I definitely would go up a size or so, but I would highly recommend this dress. I typically look bigger in tighter dresses due to my wider rib cage, but this dress made me look super small. I did not want to take it off or send it back! 

I loved the fit of this dress. It was flowy and comfortable without leaving me shapeless. It cinched right at my natural waist and the length of the petite dress was perfect. Thanks to other reviewers, I invested in fashion tape to keep the top of the dress in place. It worked well and I felt great in it all night, dancing and all!

I loved this dress- requires a bit of fashion tape in the front but otherwise was fabulous! The back was stunning. 

I LOVE this dress.  I wore it to a formal wedding.  The dress fits fairly true to size.  The length was perfect, I am 5'5" and wore 3" heels.  The waist fit well.  The top portion was slightly big, but I have a small bust (34B).  Fashion tape helped to keep everything in place.  The dress is very comfortable.  I wore it from 11:00 a.m., drove for 2 hours to the ceremony (no wrinkles) and didn't take it off until 12:30 a.m.  I would consider buying this dress if I had more formal events to wear it to.  Thanks RTR!  You are awesome and I love that your company is environmentally friendly.

This dress definitely ran big. I had ordered the 2L as well but it wasn't available when my rental date came around. I definitely would have gone with the smaller size. But regardless, this dress was beautiful! It made me feel sexy, yet classy. Just don't forget the fashion tape! Was complimented all night! 

It fit well and I got so many compliments from everyone! It was simple and elegant and easy to dance in as well. The only hard part was that even the petite was a little long for me. Also, I am 5'1" and 115 lbs and have an athletic build with a small waist and chest. The chest was the only thing that was a little bit big but was fixed with tape easily.

I'm in LOVE with this dress. So many compliments. I'm typically in between sizes (10-12) and the 10L fit great. I was able to get away with wearing flats because I am tall but it's definitely a long dress. Perfect for an early fall outdoor wedding. A little double sided tape worked great to secure it for a reception full of dancing. Sad I had to return it!

I usually am a 6 but very glad I ordered a 4 because it fit with room to spare. It was very comfortable! I am 5'4" and the length was perfect with a small heel. Would rent again!

I loved this dress! I'm 5'4" and wore the regular with 3inch heels and probably needed higher heels because I felt like I was pulling it up to dance. Fashion tape is a MUST! I am between a 6 and an 8. I wore the 8 but probably could've gone with the 6 it just wasn't available for my last minute rental!

Fit well. I'm 5'7" and would have liked it a bit longer but it was still great. Wore stickies instead of a bra. Covered enough so I didn't even have to think about what I was wearing. Loved it.

I wore this dress to my friends wedding and received compliments all night long. It was so flattering and most importantly COMFORTABLE! 

Worn for a day wedding in October in NH. Very low cut but double sided tape held everything in place and I didn't worry about it. The length was actually great, I'm just about 5'4" and it hit the floor without shoes on. I wish I had a picture of the back, I was worried about creating/showing excess back fat but it didn't do that at all. I would love to own this dress!

I loved the navy blue color, the fit was perfect, and it was a true classy summer wedding gown. Everybody loved this dress, Complete home run :)

The dress runs super big up top so I definitely could not fill it out. I ended up pinning up the straps to make it fit better! 

Definitely could have gone with a smaller size, but easy dress to pin together. I usually wear a 6/8 and could have gotten a 4. Would rent again!

Pictures don't do this dress justice. It's amazing in real life.  The way the fabric drapes is perfection and it's super comfortable. 

This was a very fun dress to wear to a wedding. It does run big. Due to availability, I ordered a 6R and an 8L. I usually wear anywhere from a size 8-12 depending on the dress, but the 6 fit. However, the regular was way too short for my 5'10 frame, so I wore the 8L. The strap behind the neck was too long and the chest was a little big, but it was very wearable after I pinned it. I think a 6L would have been perfect.

The website won't let me add my information (and error message keeps popping up), so for reference I am 5'9, a 32DD, hourglass, and 138 lb. 

After reading the reviews I sized down and I ordered a 2L and a 4L. Even the 2L was a little loose in my waist (I do have a narrow waist, especially compared with my butt). A 0L would have been perfect. I am almost always a 6, rarely a 4, and never a 2, so the fact that I needed a 0 is a testament to how large this dress runs. If you are smaller than a 6, I would not recommend ordering this dress. Length was perfect with 2.5 inch heels.

The straps were a little long, so I safety pinned them up a bit, and the fit was perfect. No fashion tape needed! It felt very secure and no gaping in the bust.  The back is very low and dramatic, and I got a ton of compliments. I loved loved LOVED this dress and would definitely wear again!

I got lots of compliments - this dress is very pretty! It has a low back so you won't be wearing a bra, or get some pasties. I also put some fashion tape at the base of the neckline which was a couple inches above my belly button, because otherwise when you bend forward everyone would be getting a peak!

I ordered both the 6R and 8L for my first RTR experience. I wear a size 6 jean, but have a larger chest - 36D. Both sizes actually fit very well. The 8L was a little looser in the top but had so much more length than the 6R so I chose to go with the 8L so I could wear some heels. The wedding I attended was in a church followed by a New Years Eve celebration so I kept my jacket on while at the church, it was cold anyways, but I didn't want to expose too much skin. I used some double sided tape and strapped it on. Didn't have any issues while dancing (my breasts didn't fall out) and received quite a few compliments on the dress itself. Overall, very satisfied with the dress and this experience. I would definitely wear this again. Very elegant with a hint of sexy! 

RTR ended up not having the 4R in stock so I received the 6R which I thought would be too large on my small bust (32A) but I was pleasantly surprised that with a little body tape on both sides of the dress, it fit perfectly. Even with my wide hips, it wasn't tight! I wasn't worried through the entire night of it moving or adjusting myself. The length was perfect as well. I'm not that tall but with 3" heels it just hit the ground. 

This was by far one of the most comfortable dresses I've worn!  I normally wear a 2, but I read other reviews that said it ran large, so I ordered a 0R and a 2R and ended up wearing the 0R.  The dress runs large in the chest area, but I easily fixed it with fashion tape. The length is also great, I wore a 2 inch heel and the dress just hit the ground.  I wish I could buy this one! 

As other reviewers noted, this dress runs large, so I ordered down a size. The size 2 fit better however it was too short, so the size 4 worked best. I am 5'7 and wore 4 inch heels so I should have ordered the Long. I did not wear a bra and used double-sided tape to hold the material where I wanted it. This worked great! The dress is extremely comfortable. It highlights the waist and the torso. It appears black in most photos, however it is navy. If you brighten the photo it can appear blue. I was very happy with this dress!

Super comfortable and sexy dress! I felt like a million bucks!

This dress was incredible. I ordered a 2R and 4R (I'm 5'8'', 145lbs) and both fit well, the 2R was just a little more snug, which I found important since the top is a little loose. I was nervous about any wardrobe malfunctions, so I used double-sided tape on the inside "V"'s, and everything stayed perfectly secure through hours of dancing. I got more compliments in this dress than ever before, and I felt amazing in it. The only negative is the 2R was a little short in heels, and I wished I had another 2-3 inches. With flats it would have been fine. 

I wore this for a friend's wedding. The top was a little large and did come down a bit low, so I ended up pinning the top. I wore it with a cream and gold scarf during the mass and took it off for the reception. I received some great compliments!

This dress is great, I usually wear a 4 and the zero fit great. I did use tape and pinned the neck line. The gown is beautiful and I received lots of compliments. The dress is also long, I am 5'8'm and wore 3 inch heels and I was ok. 

This was by far my most favorite dress I've rented from RTR. I originally ordered the 2L and 4R, but I never got to try the 2L on since it became unavailable. In any case, the length of the 4R was perfect with my 4in heels. It was a little big on top but once I fashion taped the dress in place, it was perfect. Very comfortable material and easy to dance in! Got compliments all night long. Would definitely recommend this dress! 

Sorry it's not the best pic, but I really liked the dress. I rented a size 4 and a 6, the 6 felt better around the waist, but wore the 4 for extra support on top. It was a beautiful dress and I loved wearing it! 

I absolutely loved this dress! It was so comfortable even in the hot weather and it was easy to dance in! I needed to wear tall heels for the length and fashion tape is a must. Definitely recommend this dress!

This dress was absolutely perfect for the formal wedding I attended. It was classy, elegant and easy fitting. I'm glad I read everyone's reviews because I only rented 1 and 2 sizes smaller than needed. The 6R fit perfectly and I'm usually a 10 in designer dresses. It was an inch and a half too long (with me wearing heels but I'm short) so I used fashion tape to hem it up. You will want fashion tape for the bust area as well since bending over could be an issue. Overall I would rent this dress again!

I loved how simple and classy this dress was while also showing a hint of skin in the front and back! The 2 fit me perfectly and with 4 in. heels the long just hit the floor. I would definitely rent this dress again. 

I rented this dress for a military Ball and it worked perfectly!! I got lots of compliments all night. The dress itself was pretty comfortable too. I wore it for 5+ hours and didn't have to adjust it every 5 minutes. My only con was that the halter top strap was really long. I have a super short torso so I ended up just tying the strap instead of buttoning it and it ended up working perfectly. Thank you Rent The Runway! 

The regular was a bit long (both in the skirt and in the torso, making the deep V even deeper on my 5'4" frame), but the 2P was a bit too short and less comfortable, so I went with the slinkier option. Though not a perfect fit, I was comfortable all night and felt both classy and sexy at a black tie affair.

im 5'2" 150 lbs the dress runs large im usually a 6 but wore the 2. the R length was a little too long for me i would recommend the P for my height. i also had to pin the boob area because that was a little baggy and also used double sided sticky tape for extra protection. 

I loved this dress! It's a little low cut and gaps at the top because it runs big but with some fashion tape and a little pin job it was perfect. Everyone kept asking me where I got the dress all night! 

Per the reviews, I ordered a size down from my normal size. The dress fit perfectly, but I was pretty uncomfortable since I was 10 weeks pregnant at the time of the wedding. If you're not pregnant, a size down would probably be great. I wore 3-4" heels and the length was perfect. Don't forget the fashion tape for the boobs. I taped myself in and all was well. 

Great dress, really comfortable.  My only issue was I found the top really large.  I have a larger chest but didn't feel like I filled it out and it gaped on the sides.  I had to pin it on the side and make the neck tighter so I felt comfortable.  Great material though and super comfortable, danced all night! 

I'm well endowed and have always avoided plunging can't-wear-a-bra dresses as a matter of course. But to wear this dress I took a leap and used duct tape to hold the girls fast and enjoy the plunge. I didn't need any fashion tape; I filled out the top nicely and the duct tape kept me comfortably dancing all night. I put a pin in the neck to shorten up the halter (and overall length) since I'm short and the dress is better for someone taller. 
I feel like the overall length balances out the plunge for an overall classy look. It was very elegant for an evening wedding and fun without being garish.

I intended to wear a sticky boobs bra with this and fashion tape at the bottom to conceal the connector clip but the V was so deep and there was so much room in the top that I had to go braless and tape everywhere- top, sides, middle and the seams in the dress. It was a hassle for most of the night to make sure the tape wasn't showing. Beautiful dress but not my favorite experience. 
I am 5'-5 and wore 3" heels and the length was perfect. Loved the pockets. 
I usually wear a 6 or and 8 and probably could have worn a 4 in this dress. 

Very comfortable and with a little fashion tape it stays in place all night. Runs a little large, would order a size smaller. 

This was my backup dress for a new year's wedding.  As with most dresses that fit my waist, the bust was too large, but I did some strategic pinning and used a little tape to make it flattering and secure.  The fabric was soft and flowing, which made it super comfortable to wear all evening and even do a little dancing.
