Flattering on straight-and-narrow body type

Almost nothing that looks sexy online ever looks decent on me, because I'm tall and pretty much straight up and down. This dress was an exception - flattering and surprisingly comfortable for a friend's black tie birthday party. It was definitely on the short side for someone tall to wear with heels, but the high slit kept the shorter length from looking bad.

Perfection

Sexy and classic. Nice stretch and unique style. Slit in skirt is very high but doesn’t seem scandalous. I thought it was very comfortable and flattering. Side zipper. Wish it was longer for tall girls.

A Perfect 10!

This is a show-stopper. I officiated a wedding in this dress and received never ending compliments the entire evening. A perfect fit with just enough stretch for you to feel secure without feeling restrictive. Grab this one!

I think it fits true to size. You will definitely need a strapless bra.

Sexy sexy sexy

Wore this for my engagement photoshoot. Slit was just right. The material was very breathable. No other word except sexy - Perfect for the curvy gal. I probably could have worn a medium but the Large was just right

This dress fit like a glove!

I'm a little bigger on top and this dress fit perfectly! No issues with the neckline laying appropriately. It was a March 1st event in cold Michigan and the sleeves were perfect (the long sleeve added warmth and the sleeveless side added style). I'm tall so the slit was very high but the type of event allowed for a bit of leg. Loved this dress, I will definitely rent this look again 💗

It has great stretch and fit perfectly. Very classy with a little sass.

It is a beautiful dress. Stretchy material. Compliments all night. The slit goes a bit high. So be prepared for leg to show.

Loved it!

Wore this to an all black formal wedding and felt absolutely stunning. I was nervous renting a dress for the first time but was happy two sized came since I gained some weight. Large fit like a glove but I ended up wearing extra large because it hid the shareware I had underneath better.

Perfect formal black dress for comfort & sexiness

Wore this to my cousin's "black tie optional" wedding and felt so great in it, danced all night, was super comfortable and felt snatched. Def rent it if you're on the fence, made me feel very fun and sexy!

Bridesmaid dress!

Loved this dress, only complaint is, as a gal with larger shoulders, it was hard for the fabric to lay over nicely, I just used fashion tape & I was good to go tho!

My favorite dress of all time!

Yes the slit is high, but I danced the night away without worry! I wore boob tape bc that was another concern I had with the off the shoulder, and it worked perfectly!! It was elegant and sexy rolled into one! I’m 5’7” and I wore kitten heels and it was perfect! If you are on the fence, rent it! I am sooooooo tempted to buy it!

Wore for black tie wedding! Fab! Might buy!

This fits in all the right places and is great for curves. It is so flattering and the length is great for my height at 5 3. The material is very thin. I wore to an evening wedding half outdoor for ceremony half in for the reception and I was comfortable the whole time perfect balance w the slit and missing sleeve! Rent this dress!!

Flattering and sexy dress

A bit tough to get on, but overall I loved for a black tie optional wedding. I wore the Small and I’m 5’6” 133 lbs. The small had no zipper, the medium did. The slit was high but not a problem.

Dress was amazing! Fit true to size!

Many compliments! The dress fabric was stretchy so hugged all the right curves and the roughing at the waste hid any body imperfections. I am 5’5, 38DD, and 170 pounds- large was perfect.

Good for large chests

First time renter and this dress didn’t disappoint. I went for a large because the material seemed forgiving and I didn’t want it too long. It was a LITTLE tough to squeeze the girls in there due to the different sleeves, but the fit was PERFECT! I got so many compliments and don’t want to send it back 🤣 The length could be an issue for some but I wore 4 inch heels and had no problem, could have done 2 inch heels with no problem. Larger fit me best but I tend to wear XL because of the girls so I loved that I was able to wear a large because it was a PERFECT fit.

Long black dress.

This dress was a hit at a formal wedding. The slit is high but adds to the sexiness without being too much. I ordered a medium and large. Both fit, but I liked having a little loser feel of the dress with the large. Lined so nothing I see through. Not thick fabric actually thinner than I expected so it’s not too heavy to dance , move or walk. I’m 5’3 and wore a fairly high heel (3-4 inch) but the dress was well off the ground. First time doing RTR, and will definitely do again.

Flattering and comfy!

I wore this to a wedding with an all black dress code and it was perfect! A little complicated to figure out how to put on at first but overall I felt the shape was fun and unique without being too crazy. Definitely comfortable and not too heavy. There was a layer of fabric on top with some type of ruching on the side that helped make it super flattering.

So comfy! Rent this!

This was the perfect wedding guest dress and I received a lot of compliments. It’s very comfortable and was a nice thick material. One thing to note is that the slit is very high. The size small fit best on my upper body, but since I have muscular thighs it made the slit open on the lower body too much. I went with the medium and it was still very flattering!

Comfortable and chic

Really enjoyed this one. It was super comfortable and had an understated sexiness with the slit. Great for packing too since it did not wrinkle. I’m usually between medium and large and opted for the large just for comfort reasons. The medium was tighter under my armpit

First time using rent the runway & highly recommended!

I was worried about the length; however, with heels the length was perfect. I received so many compliments on this dress. Great quality & extremely comfortable. I received my dress a few days earlier than expected. Will definitely use rent the runway for future events.
