This dress was fantastic. I ended up with the 18W. I was a little disappointed that the back up 16 didn't come along (although the back up dress they sent along in 2 sizes was beautiful) because this size ended up being larger on me than anticipated. Entirely comfortable, though, as well as being absolutely lovely. And pockets! Would totally rent again and HIGHLY recommend! 

Overall I really liked the dress.  It was pretty and comfortable.  However it was hard to zip and unzip.  I needed help for both.  I don't think I could have unzipped it myself.Do not try it on without someone there to help you get out of it!!  It also wasn't a perfect fit.  The 6 was a bit tight on top and the 8 was a bit too big.  The waist fit well on both and I loved the pockets.  It is a little low cut, but was fine for my smaller chest

This cocktail dress was perfect for our holiday party with family and friends! Perfect amount of "sparkle", not too much cleavage (but enough to feel good!), and a nice skirt that covers up all of your eating and drinking. I personally found it fits true to size as the size down was too tight in the chest area. I'd definitely rent this one again! 

I rented it for a Christmas party and i got so many compliments! It was fancy enough but comfortable and I am a sucker for a dress with pockets! 

I got so many compliments on this dress! The different textures were perfect! This was worn to a cocktail party. Length was great and fit was spot on!

Loved this dress! Hugged in all the right places. Was very flattering and i received many compliments from strangers! 


I lost some weight recently, and wasn't sure which size would fit best. I ended up going with the 2, and it fit comfortably. The zipper stuck a bit the first time I tried it on, but after that it was fine. The material is heavy, which made it fabulous for a work Christmas party, and the cut was flattering. I loved the pockets and had a great place to stash my cell phone all night, and the dress is sturdy enough to not lose shape if you use the pockets! The cut was sexy but not inappropriate. I felt pretty and confident all night! 

I rented this dress for my office holiday party and it was perfect. The cut would be flattering on just about anyone.  The fabric is thick and I was able to eat dinner without feeling like I had to suck in my gut.  This was my first  RTR and I am hooked!  I ended up wearing my backup size 2 instead of the 4.   The stylist notes said to size down for your backup if you are small busted and I think that's accurate.

Fit was true to size. Fun dress to wear to a wedding. Long enough that it was modest & offered a little bit of cleavage to make it a little sexy. Very easy to dance all night in!

The zipper wasn’t great but the dress was a great fit. You can wear it with pretty much any shoes or necklaces. 

Fit true to size. Felt it was more cleavage then I usually would show but everyone said it wasn't  at all.

I want to buy this dress! It fit so perfectly - and I am short-waisted, so that doesn't happen often. It was stylish and the skirt material gives it a touch of glam. It is a heavier fabric, best for fall/winter. 

This dress was even prettier in person. Fabric is great, very comfortable and the deep pockets were a plus!! 

Love love love this dress! Looks great and very comfortable! Only con, it's a little heavy for a summer event. 

I ended up wearing the smaller size and it fit perfectly! I would have liked it to be a touch shorter, I'm 5'7" and it hit me right at my knee. But other than that it was a wonderful choice! Not too hot, super comfy and I could wear a real bra which is always a plus! 

I wore the size 22 which is my normal size. It was a little big and I wish I would have worn the 20. I still loved it despite wearing the wrong size. The length is great as well.

Fit was true to size. I even left the spanx at home -- that's how flattering this dress was and how comfortable it made me feel :-)

This dress was so comfortable! The pockets were a really nice feature as well. I got several compliments I loved how it made me look like I had a thinner waistline.

Loved this! The skirt is a little fuller than expected and was borderline too long, but with heels it was perfect. Everyone loved it. Would definitely recommend! 

Received many compliments. Great style and fit. Wore it to a holiday party. Found it true to size. Did have issues with the zipper as others experienced. But overall worked out perfectly 

True to size, great length for Christmas/holiday party, and comfortable ! 

It was very comfortable and easy to wear. 

Once again, RTR came through. At 5pm on Friday night, the dress I ordered didn't fit. At all. In a panic I called, they had this overnighted for my Saturday 1pm wedding! The stylist that recommended it NAILED it. Incredibly comfortable and flattering. The only person who got more compliments than me was the bride! I felt like a million bucks all night. Stunning dress. 

I wear between a size 4 & 6 in pants and dresses, depending on which store I purchase from. I decided to go ahead and order both sizes 4 & 6 for this dress and I am glad I did! The 4 barely zipped up half way before I decided it was just too small. The 6 fit well, despite the fact that my husband had a hard time zipping it past the belt, it got stuck there and needed a little force. The dress did seem to feel tighter after I ate dinner but I wasn't too terribly uncomfortable. I LOVED the pockets, especially since they were practically undetectable when you look at the dress. Overall a great dress! I felt beautiful! 

True to size, though was a bit uncomfortable around the armpits due to the fabric. Length was appropriate for a night rehearsal dinner. 

Rented this for a wedding at a country club. It was just enough sparkle and pizzaz for a wedding that started at 4pm. It wasn't too night time and wasn't too day time. The thick fabric was perfect for fall in Upstate New York. My only complaint was getting into this is a 2 person job. The thick material and cinched waist complicates things a bit. The waist is also very much cut in and a bit tight but it got looser as the night went on. I'm a sucker for a dress with pockets so I really loved everything about it. Another great rent the runway success! 

It fit so perfectly and was wonderful to have pockets! Hubby had to help with the zipper but not too hard...lots of compliments on it from everyone, a show stopper! 


I had two sizes to pick from - usually a 14w but the bust in the 16w felt better.  Love the pockets! Very comfortable.

Super comfortable + super beautiful dress.  Got tons of compliments all night. Loved the pockets. Another rent the runway win!

I wore this for a gala and it was beautiful, comfortable, and I got tons of compliments. I would definitely rent again. It runs a bit large so I probably could have gone down a size.

I felt beautiful in this dress--I got so many compliments! Very flattering fit. 

Best birthday dress ever !! Very classy and stylish .. 

Pros - POCKETS!! I love a dress with pockets!  The dress was comfortable!  I loved it! 
Cons - NONE

I loved this dress!  Fit me perfectly. Just tight enough around my waist and flaired out below. The top did flatten my 32DD chest. But still very flattering. 

Loved this dress! I rented it for my sisters bachelorette in New Orleans and it was perfect. It was comfortable and super cute. Pockets are amaze. I have large breasts and they looked amazing in the dress, but were snug. Loved how the skirt flared out a bit. 

Only negative thing I could say is that the material is thick and a little heavy so walking around Bourbon St. in 75ish degrees was HOT. Not to the point where I was uncomfortable but I was definitely sweating all night. 

I feel like the plus size model in the standard RtR pic does not look as good as this dress really is!

Very flattering and the pockets are super handy. Very easy, yet sophisticated dress. 

I original rented a different dress and received it on Thursday.  I did not like the look or fit. I panicked and called RTR they helped me find a few alternate selections but we had to hurry since my event was Saturday.  I ordered this and received it the next day!  The the dress fit a tad big but that was fine with me.  I loved it.  And it had pockets.  I received lots of compliments all night! I would recommend this to a friend. 

I wore this dress for a Christmas party and got so many compliments on it! The lace on top and the sparkle on bottom really elevate it from a "little black dress." It was such a flattering fit (and I'm still a post partum size and loved how it accented my arms and drew attention away from hips/belly.) It was a little loose up top but I'm very small chested - however it's "structured" enough that this wasn't an issue. Even with some dance floor time, I was never worried about fit. And it has pockets- perfect for keeping your phone and lipstick close at hands. I wish I could have kept this dress! 

The dress fit really well through the bust (I am busty) and the length was tea length on me (I am 5'3".). The top has a lacy outer layer but not sheer.  The bottom is a slightly metallic silver. Not too shiny but really classy.  I was hosting a party for 250+ college classmates for our collective 50th birthdays this year and I got so many compliments all night.  

The textures and added sparkle in the skirt make this an elegant little black dress perfect for any cocktail party, wedding or special occasion. At 5'2", it was a tad bit long on me but otherwise fit like a glove and I received lots of compliments. An added bonus-it has big wide pockets! 

The dress fit well however the belt made it difficult to zip. I rented this for a night out in Vegas and it wasn't as pretty in person. This is the first dress I've rented and been disappointed. I guess I just wanted something different. 

Too tight!! Love the idea of the dress. Maybe I will rent it in the size up next time. 

Beautiful dress. Quality material. Loved the pockets. I have a small bust and it was a little big on top. 

Loved the dress and received lots if compliments. I usually wear a size 8 but had to wear the 10 and it was still pretty tight through the bust. 

This dress was very flattering and comfortable. It was a more interesting version of a little black dress thanks to the lace top and shimmery bottom. I could have worn the 2, but it was much more comfortable in the bust in the 4. Overall a great dress!

I rented this dress for a late fall wedding.  I ordered a size 2 (my usual size) and it was too tight, but I wore it anyway.  Definitely size up.
I felt elegant and pretty. Definitely recommend.

I wore this dress for a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was a perfect style for the semi-formal event. The skirt was a lovely shimmery black fabric that really stood out in an understated way. It flared out nicely and had pockets! The top was a pretty lace that paired nicely with the skirt. 
I would say that it runs a little big (my street size is a 16, but designer dress size is 18/20 thanks to a 45inch bust). I ordered a size up because my previous ML dress in an 18 was super tight around the waist, but this one was too big. I think the 18 would have fit me perfectly in this design. Thanks to the structured nature of the dress I was still able to wear it without issue, but I would have preferred a smaller size or a way to cinch it more at the waist.
