ML Monique Lhuillier

I rented this dress for a fundraiser in April. I ended up wearing the larger size (10) because the top does run small and the lace sleeves were incredibly tight. I have a slightly larger chest as well so I felt like I would rip it if I tried to wear the smaller size. The dress was really cute but very warm with the sleeves so I'd recommend it for a fall/winter event more so than spring.

This was a last minute addition as a dress I originally ordered became unavailable. I was concerned bc there was not a size 2 but was pleasantly surprised w this dress. The size 4 fit nicely and the color was great for autumn. I received tons of compliments.

The first dress I ordered became unavailable and it was a rocky road to find another dress. This was my first backup choice but my size was unavailable. When I didn't like the first two options I decided to try the size up. It was a little loose on top, but the extra length helped since I'm 5'8. Overall I am happy because I loved this dress! It is extremely flattering and a great color. Looks great with nude pumps :) Fits true to size.

This dress is gorgeous! I loved it so much, but I ended up wearing my other option, because this dress was a little too fancy for my birthday dinner. I will rent it again!

The fit was perfect. I couldn't believe how well it worked it as soon as I slipped it on. It was a little tight in the arms and I wasn't able to raise my arms up as much. The material is fairly thick so I would stick with wearing in the Fall, Spring.

I got this dress in my at home try on. it was super flattering on and really high quality material. My main concern is hiding this post baby bump and it made me feel confident. My only concern is i have a long torso and the dress had a line across the middle that broke it up a little bit. Still a very pretty dress! Fit true to size

I wore this on a date to the Philharmonic, and it was so perfect! I normally wear a 6, which fit perfectly. The sleeves do seem to be a little tight, but that wasn't really a big deal for me. This dress was just so beautiful and classy. I got so many compliments on it. I would definitely rent it again!

Overall the fit was great.....the arms were a little tight but loosened up. Overall true to size I'd say. The whole experience with RTR was great.....everything was so easy and I definitely will rent again.

This dress was exactly what I'd hoped - the lining was luxurious and kept me warm outside at a fall wedding. It fit very true to size for me (I was a little worried the 4, the smallest size, would be big) but I have really slim arms so it may be tight to some? Definitely needs a statement necklace!

I loved how this fit. The nude underlay was beautiful and the maroon purple lace layer perfectly no matter how I stood or sat. The length was really nice and allowed me to squat down to talk to some of the little kids at the party as well. I paired it with a nude belt, nude heels and gold and pearl jewelry. This is the second time I rented it and I will definitely be renting this again!

I had read a few comments that the arms had very little "give" and were tight on some people. I was a little worried because I have very muscular, athletic arms. It fit perfectly and was great to dance in. It was also a very beautiful purple color. Loved it! The pockets were a total plus!

Very well made dress and gorgeous color. It does run a little small, but then again I am built like a triangle. Broad shouldered, athletic, and 34D cup. I think an 8 would have been perfect! Received lots of compliments throughout the night and even a random whistle while crossing the street.

This dress is very well made and the lace is lovely, not scratchy like on other dresses. I really loved the color and received many compliments. My only issue is that in the size 10, which is my usual size, the pockets laid strangely and kind of looked lumpy. This really accentuated my hips, and as a pear shape, I was not loving that. So, I sized up, which made the dress a little big in the bust/waist, but it was not crazy large and I kind of liked how the bigger size made the dress seem fuller than it did in other pictures. I did not have an issue with the sleeves, just the pockets.

The fit was perfect even though I was nervous when it didn't come in a size 2. The color is beautiful! I got compliments all night long. It's definitely heavier so it keeps you warm in the cooler fall weather. RTR is fantastic!

I loved this dress - super cute, with just enough flare. I have a pretty small waist compared to my hips, so the waist could have been a bit more fitted on me, but I just wore a gold belt with it to cinch it in a bit! Fit well in the bust. I'm a bit short (between 5'2" and 5'3") but I thought the length was perfect on me, and would be fine for those an inch or two taller also. (If you're really on the tall side, maybe 5'7" or above, I could see this possibly being a bit too short.)

This dress was a perfect fit. Hide little baby pouch but hugged in the right places. The dress is beautiful and the husband said the color was pretty on me. The fabric was nice and thick with a liner so it was comfortable in the fall.

This dress was so fun! The color is bright without being obnoxious and the fit was great! The only issue I had was that the sleeves were tight and had very little give. I ordered a size 8 and 10 and ended up wearing the 10 even though the 8 fit because the sleeves were a bit looser. Overall, I had a great experience with this dress and would definitely rent it again. Days later, my fiance is still commenting on how much he liked the dress. :)

This dress is a bit brighter purple than the plum it looks like in the photo. It fit nicely and is good quality. I got several compliments. Not too long, not too short. Overall a comfortable dress. It is good for a somewhat conservative event because there is nothing too flashy or revealing about it. It isn't really a "wow" dress like some of the others I've rented. But overall, a safe bet.

I was part of 3 weddings this year, attending 5 in total, and all fell within 5 weeks of each other. I needed a dress for the last rehearsal dinner that I hadn't worn to any of the previous weddings or rehearsal dinners. The size 6 was perfect. It flattered my curves and was very comfortable all night long. Being a slightly busty girl for someone of my height I was afraid my chest wouldn't be comfortable in the crew neck cut neckline, but I was! I received so many compliments!

I received a last minute invite to a gala in DC and turned to RTR for the first time as I had no time to go shopping. Because of the time crunch my options were limited; I chose this dress because it looked like a safe bet. The reviews were helpful and it looked like it would be forgiving even if it didn't fit perfectly. When it arrived I was very impressed with the packaging, it made the service seem a little more exciting and special. Sending 2 sizes is brilliant, I went with the larger size as the reviews indicated I would probably need to and it fit well. I was a little disappointed to see the edges of the lace had frayed badly from previous wears, though. I know lace has the tendency to fray, but the smaller size looked much less worn. When it was on I noticed a small portion of the hem of the nude satin lining on the right sleeve was undone and was more exposed than it should have been. However the color was beautiful, the dress looked lovely overall (and in pictures), and the heavier fabric was perfect for a cold winter night. Even with the imperfections, I would definitely rent again.

I loved the color and shape of this dress. It flattered my pear shaped body and was fun to wear. However, given that I'm much smaller on top, with very narrow shoulders it surprised me that the dress was tight across the torso and limited my arm movement a bit. I didn't really notice it other than when I was retouching my hair. However, I imagine women with average or wider shoulders would want to size up or maybe choose a different style.

Dress is true to size and comfortable. The lining is a bit heavy so I wouldn't use for summer wedding. It was perfect for fall

It fits well and has an attached nude satin undergarment thing. The sleeves are a little tight or I just need to work out my arms. Overall, it was a beautiful dress. This was my first RTR and will definitely rent more!

I rented this dress for an Engagement Party that I was co-hosting. The party wasn't formal or informal, but I knew that I wanted something nice enough to stand out. The color is beautiful! It's a little brighter than the pictures - More magenta than plum. I didn't discover that it had pockets until almost the end of the night, but how doesn't love pockets?? I loved this dress overall. It's more conservative than I usually go, but so elegant.

Nice fit. It is full through the hips. I'm 5'10" and the length was not too short.

I have a pear shape and it fit me perfectly -- fitted on top, hugs the waist and then flares out at the hip. The material under the lace is really smooth which makes it very comfortable to wear while still getting the effect of the lace overlay. I'm also short (5' 3") so the size 6 hit me right by the knee. Had I worn the smaller size (4) it would have still fit but been slightly shorter (which I would prefer) but the arms felt more restrictive so I went with the 6 for comfort. I wore this to a movie premier in NYC and it was perfect for the occasion. Paired it with black tights and heels but could also see wearing this in warmer weather. Very versatile. Loved this dress, wanted to buy it!

This dress received so many compliments. It was tight in the arms. The fabric was thick enough it worked for a spring wedding and didn't need a cover up jacket. The tan in the dress works well for any skin tone.

Dress was a bit small in the shoulders, but I do have wide shoulders. It was very comfortable to wear all night and dance with the bride and groom! Would totally rent this again!

It was a real standout in crowd of mostly dark colored dresses. And it was my back up. Though I usually wear a 12, I ordered size 14 based on prior comments and it fit perfectly, especially through the shoulders and bust line where I often have problems with formal wear. It hit me about two inches above the knees which was ideal with the full skirt. An added bonus was that the dress would travel well since the cruise boat did not offer steaming services. I ultimately chose it over my first dress because was so easy to wear over a seven hour event. (The other dress required a strapless bra, the lining would creep down exposing the bra and fashion tape was not helpful. Too much of a hassle.) I will definitely rent this dress again.

The color of this dress is goregous! I agree with the other reviews that the dress is a little heavy and tighter in the arms. I would have prefered the dress to be a little shorter, but I am short so anyone who is taller than 5'1 shouldn't have a problem with the length. I paired the dress with nude pumps and a statement necklace! Overall, it was a great dress!

Beautiful color, love the fit and the heft of this dress; just made me look a bit broad-shouldered and wide. Really gorgeous and modest for a daytime wedding or luncheon sort of thing.

The dress fits true to size. I was worried about the length and arms because I am a tall build with "softball" player arms and shoulders. But there was no need to worry. The dress was the perfect length and the arms fit really well. Rent the Runway customer service was amazing. I can't wait to rent a dress soon. :-)

This dress was perfect for a wedding! Great length, amazing color, and super comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the 10 was a little big through the torso, but the 8 was too small in the shoulder. Otherwise everything about this dress was perfect!!!

This dress was great. It was a great color and fit perfectly. I have a larger chest and bigger arms, so I was concerned it would be too tight up top, but it wasn't. The only problem I had was that I couldn't raise my arms, but that wasn't an issue.

I wore a Kate Spade belt w/ this, and it would've looked very odd w/out a belt. I don't like seeing a main seam that looks as though it might cut off your waist, but the belt adds some structure and shape. I am a part time fitness instructor and it's b/c I love fitness, my arms are not large whatsoever (they are actually kinda spaghetti noodle-like). The sleeves on this were super tight. It wasn't noticeable to others, but I wasn't a fan. This photo is a screen shot from a TV spot I did; sorry I don't have a good floor-length photo like my other reviews. I recommend the dress b/c of it's color and the massive amounts of compliments I received, but be aware of the sleeve tightness. I paired the dress w/ plain black tights and black suede pumps.

The sleeves on this dress are no joke! Size up if you have not-skinny arms. The 8 fit the rest of my body well, but could not get it past my elbows! The 10 fit well - a little loose all over, but the arms were still tight. No stretch here, so be cautious.

Wore this for my nieces baptism. It fit perfectly and was totally stunning, highly reccomend!

Wear a belt to define your waistline but otherwise love it.

Rented this for a charity event and it couldn't have been more perfect. The color is even more beautiful in person and definitely stood out in a room filled with the every day "Little Black Dress". It is heavily lined, so it's great for cool temperatures and fit true to size.

This dress is tight on the arms. But beautiful and classy. Looks great paired with nude pumps and a statement necklace.
