Longer than I would have liked, but I did love the color and style . I’m 4’11 and it was to my ankles. 

I felt really great in this dress, it sucks you in without feeling suffocating, and I felt like it really accentuated my curves without looking too over the top. The sleeve was a little snug but this was a small formal wedding so I wasn’t in need of the ability to throw my hands up. 

Word this to an August wedding. I'm a 6 but can occasionally fit a 4. This dress in size 6 was snug but definitely how the dress is intended to be worn. It wasn't anything special but the asymmetric sleeve made it a little different and it was relatively comfortable for the whole evening.

Exactly as pictured and expected. I did need someone to help me zip it up – but once it was on, it fit like a glove. I got so many compliments and felt stunning.

Got this dress as a backup bc original rentals didn't work out. Got a size 2 but maybe 4 would've fitted better bc the chest area was slightly tight. Def recommend this dress: good/stretchy material, good length, great color, comfy overall. The only complaint that I have is the sleeve needing to be adjusted as it rolls up if you move your arm but nothing major. 

Was a little long since I'm on the borderline of petite/regular, but loved the dress! The fit was great and was easy to move in. 

Wore this dress to a wedding reception. Love the structure of the top and the sexy cutout in the back. The dress is a bit thin so not very forgiving but it goes well for many events. 

Beautiful dress, made me feel like a million bucks. Very form fitting and hugging. The boning in the back started to bend towards the end of the night and poke my back, but it was after a lot of dancing. I couldn't get the fabric to lie flat for the arm wrap but it didn't bother me that it didn't, it made a cool design. Both the 4 and 6 fit well. I went with the 4 and perhaps that's why the boning started to irritate me. Overall great experience with this dress. 

This dress was so much fun to wear. It definitely hugs all your curves and accentuates your back. The ribbing in the chest upper stomach is helpful, but any stomach pooch will show so make sure you stand up straight! I was able to dance, move around freely, and feel comfortable. I have a very small chest and I never had to pull it up. I want to wear it again!

It fits like a glove. I have worn it four times now, and each time got so many compliments!!

I ordered a size 4 and a size 6. I should have gotten an 8, but I was able to squeeze into the 6. The dress was just a little too tight and I had to have two people help me zip it to the top because the very top part was just a little too small. But it worked out and I got tons of compliments all day. I would definitely rent this again and I was very happy with this dress!! 

Some reviews said if you have bigger boobs or butt to size up 1-2 sizes and I ended up doing just that and I’m glad! The 1 size up (10) fit well but a little snug while the 2 sizes up was ever so slightly too loose. If this wasn’t basically a strapless dress I definitely would have worn the 2 sizes up one

Definitely go up a size, maybe even two, especially if you're busty like I am. I had to send back and get an emergency sent because I couldn't zip up the top. 

I'm in between a size 4 and 6 but my chest is a DD, which made a difference in this fit. This dress is very form fitting and I could not zip it up over my chest. The size 6 fit me perfectly... again, very form fitting but it was beautiful. The color is more of a berry color too and it was gorgeous!

The color is stunning and the fit is superb: it follows your figure without being trashy. The fit is true to size except for the bust, which runs small, partly because of the shoulder strap. I love the midi length; it is so flattering. I received a lot of compliments, and most importantly, I felt beautiful and well dressed for the occasion. The rental and return process was easy and smooth. 

I'm so glad I read the reviews, this fit definitely runs small - I didn't even try on the 4 because just by looking, it would not fit. The 6 fit like a glove, just a tiny bit of stretch and was very comfortable throughout the evening. 

I normally wear an 8 for dresses but since they were out of 8's I got a 10. First, it definitely fit like a 10. It was slightly loose and it felt that if I had sized down, it would have be perfect. I kept having to pull it up . I don't think it would have been a problem if I had sized down. Overall, happy w this dress and how elegant I felt wearing it. 

Great fit! Tricky zipper if you're doing it solo, but tons of compliments all night long.

This dress is beautiful. It's simple and classic but the shoulder detail and cutout in back adds visual interest. That said, it runs TINY. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and wore the 6, but would definitely have been more comfortable in an 8. 

Great dress! Although the fabric at the bottom appeared to pucker/wrinkle kind of funny. It was a beautiful dress to wear to a work award ceremony. 

I love this dress! It's my second time renting it and it's always been so comfortable and perfect for any semi formal occasion!

Perfect fit. A nice amount of stretch without being too much. I might buy it. 

I wore this for my graduation and graduation party, and received so many compliments! I could definitely dance in it if needed (you can definitely move/lift the sleeved arm), the color was gorgeous, and it was super elegant. The only thing is the back has a cutout that didn't totally lay correctly, but it wasn't very noticeable. 

I'm between a 6 and an 8, and the 8 fit perfectly! I didn't wear a bra, and wore no show underwear, but I'm not sure how other undergarments might look, since you might be able to see some lines through the fabric (didn't try it with other things, so not sure). All in all, I would definitely recommend this dress! I wore it for two pretty full days, and it was comfy the entire time. 

What a great dress! Felt very elegant in it. Both the 2 and the 4 fit, actually pretty similarly. The 4 was more comfortable but too loose in the hips for the more fitted look I was going for. The 2 was slimmer all the way down but a bit tight in the waist. Overall would order this again! Very flattering and boned waist nips you in a bit especially if you go down a size. The color was a tad bit more plum than just deep red, in my opinion.

I loved this dress! I would rent this again for a wedding for sure. I'm typically a size 2. Ordered a 2 and backup size 4. The size 2 was perfect! True to size and not to mention super comfortable. I wore the sleeve slightly on top of my shoulder so that I wasn't restricted with my arms at all. LOVE!! Highly recommend!

This dress is beyond gorgeous! I wore it to a formal charity event, and got so many compliments. It fit perfectly, and is so flattering. This was my first experience with Rent the Runway, and now I will forever use this service for all future formal events. Loved it!!

Wore the size 4. Should have worn the size 6. It was a bit tight around the top but only bc o should have sized up. Lovely dress to wear to the Nutcracker!

This dress is tight and the style is not very forgiving for curvier bodies. Can't where spanx with the back cutout.

First time using RTR & the dress was everything I wanted! The colour was beautiful, the material is comfy and stays put, and the fabric is nice and thick. The bottom skirt portion is we fitted no matter what your side, and if anything, the top is a bit tighter.

Nonetheless, one of my favorite dresses I've ever worn! Comfortable, stylish, and classic. 

This dress fit great. Was perfect for an awards dinner where everyone was wearing black. Not as stretchy as I thought it would be but was still very flattering on.

Body-hugging fit but somehow still very flattering. It was comfortable even when I sat down. I typically wear a 4 and the 6 fit perfectly. 

This was so cute. The boning on the back right side was slightly irritating after wearing the dress for a few hours but easy to fix. 

You can't lift your right arm but omg this dress looked so good and was comfortable overall.

Tight fit. Material was very comfortable and had stretch. The front and back were very flattering. Beautiful neckline. Zipper is located on the left side. Perfect fit and can’t wait to order from RTR again.

The fit was great with some stretch and give to it! I was the best dressed at our event ! The only complaint I gave is there was a wiring in the back that was poking me and think the dress would be more beautiful if it was fitted all the way down, it flares out too much on the bottom!

The dress fit beautifully; hugging all the right places. The should strap was surprisingly pretty comfortable, even while dancing. Beautiful dress!! Wish I could wear it again!!

I wore this dress for a cocktail attire wedding.  It was the perfect fit and was comfortable for the 12 hour event.  If you plan to wear the sleeve off your shoulder be sure to count your left arm out as it’s hard to raise your arm at all.  I loved this dress and received many compliments on it.  I would order it again!

I am about 115lbs and 32C I ordered a size 2 and a 0 for my backup and the size 0 ended up fitting the best! I got many compliments. The dress was super comfortable and stayed put while I danced all night! Loved it 

This dress was beautiful and overall was comfortable, flattering, and well constructed. The only drawback is what others have already mentioned- the arm is too tight and also makes it hard to raise your arm. While the rest of the dress fit better in my usual size, the arm strap fit better in a size up. I still loved the dress though!
