ML Monique Lhuillier

So sad I couldn't wear this dress! It's gorgeous! I usually wear a 6. I ordered a 6L and backup size 8L. The 6L fit perfectly everywhere except the bust. The 8L ALMOST fit in the bust but was a little too baggy in the waist. I had to send it back. :( I do lift weights heavily so my lats are on the larger side and have this problem often with dresses not fitting my bust (eventhough I wear an A or B cup). As for the length, I would have preferred regular length, but it wasn't available at that time. I was just going to wear higher heels! I have another event coming up next month. I think I MAY ease up on the weights just so I can wear this dress! It's beautiful!

great fit

I wore this dress to the Marine Corps Ball--very comfortable--fit great (a little long) but I still LOVED it! I'm so pleased with Rent The Runway I will definatly use this again in the future =)

The fit was very nice and the length was just right! I am 5'10 and a 34C. The only drawback was the ruching across the waist of the dress wasn't flush with the dress and it looked kinda funny....I received many compliments! The best part about the dress was the fit across the bust area, it really held everything in. Thanks RTR!

I felt like a million bucks in this Monique Lhuillier dress. I'm always a little worried about the length of a dress because of my height (5'2") but paired with a four inch heel the length was perfect. Looking at the picture of the model, I thought that the dress would be hard to walk in but there was more than enough room for taking normal steps. My favorite thing about this dress? It's very forgiving, the lace wraps in just the right places to hide any troubled areas. So many compliments all night! I would def rent this one again!

I could not fit into the dress. I am a size 6. I ordered a 6 and an 8. Neither of them would fit! I was very dissapointed, but I had to return the dressed after the four day rental.

This was my back up dress and my friend (on the far right) wound up wearing it. She and the dress were both stunning!

I loved this dress! It was very classy and not too "prom". I have no complaints!

This dress really is stunning! The fit is a little tight through the hips (not ideal if you are trying to dance up a storm), but I found the top to be a little loose. Granted, I've got some serious curves (42 inch hips and a 36 inch chest), so I would suggest ordering a back up size that is one up from your selected if you are looking for wiggle room. If you are a show lover (as I am) order your size long. I wore 3.5 inch heels and I'm 5'6" and the dress was barely brushing the floor.

I LOVED this dress and I LOVED wearing it!!! SIZING: I am very petite at 4'11 and 103 lbs and I was very worried about how this dress would look on me because of the flairy bottom, but it was very proportioned and I felt like a mini model in it! Let's discuss length.... I ordered the 0P and with a 5.5 inch heel and a 1 inch platform (Christian Louboutin Bibi Heel) it hung perfectly just grazing the floor. I'm a tiny girl with a booty and it fit perfectly and accentuated my body shape in just the right way. While I'm not completely flat on top (Full A, Very Small B) I put two padded bra's on with this to give me a little extra oomph and it fit perfectly! If you have any lumps and bumps the ruching on this dress will hide it and make it look good! RTR EXPERIENCE: I thought my night was determined to be ruined because of Hurricane Sandy. All the dresses were stuck in odd locations and not coming through on time to the warehouse, but Emily M. was AMAZING! She kept me calm and sent a back up dress just in case, but my heart was set on this and she made it happen. She kept in communication with me and kept checking on when the dress would come in. I got it just in the nick of time! DRESS RESPONSE: I was the hit of the ball... every head turned and I received tons of compliments! I loved every moment of it... I felt like a princess for the night! The facebook comments I got felt AMAZING! Thank you Emily M. and Thank you RTR... I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I ordered this gown as a back-up. It fit just fine throughout the hips and rear (my biggest concern) however the dress was too long. I am 5'2" and this dress dragged on the ground. I actually put on 6 inch heels, and it STILL wasn't enough to keep me from stepping on it. The top part of the dress where the tulle drapes across the shoulder was too loose. The neckline was just a bit too loose as well at the bust, and the whole thing was slowly sliding down due to the weight of the dress. I originally tried to order the 6P but it was not available. If I had to do it over again, and if it were available, I would have definitely gone with a 6P, as it fit perfectly through the hips. I would have needed fashion tape to ensure it didn't slide off of my bust though!

It fit like a glove! I have a little more curves and hips than the average size 6 so I wore the 8L for a more comfortable fit. The length was very long. I'm 5'8 and I wore 4 inch heels and the dress still touched the floor.

The fit - a little snug in a 6R (I'm 5'5'' and 36-29-39) but with 3 inch heels it worked out fine. The top was a little bit tight as well so if you have a larger bust I would recommend sizing up. This was a great shape for my hourglass figure, and I received many complements!

Ordered months ago but day before dress to ship they told me up it wasn't available. Same thing happened to my friend. They let me pick out another dress but by that time the ones I really wanted we're not available. Also, my extra size dress didn't fit. I made the mistake of listening to the stylist. Always go for a bigger size than a smaller size! They did try it accommodate me but the fact that what I originally ordered wasn't available rather ruined it for me. I am squeezing into my least favorite of the dresses - I had opted for the extra dress at $25.

Currently, it's hard to find a petite size on RTR but this popped up and I had to give it a try. I ordered both the 2R and the 4P because the 2P was not available on the date of the event I was organizing. The 2R was significantly longer and didn't fit as well as the 4P, but I think a 2P would have been perfect. Being gravitionally challenged, I'm used to wearing very high heels with my RTR picks. Plan on wearing a 31/2" heel, even with the petite size. Even as a petite it was a tad long. I did a lot of running around at the event and felt comfortable the whole time. It didn't hurt that the compliments on the dress didn't stop all evening.

I rented a 4R and a 6R. Both dresses were too long by about 1.5 inches when wearing 4/5 inch heals. A short would have fit a lot better. In terms of fit the 4 was great through my hips and my stomach however there was no way it was going to close through the top. I have a slightly larger rib cage and it definetly caused some problems. Thank goodness the 6 was able to close at the top however it was much looser through the bottem than I would have liked. Also the dress really flattens your chest and was pretty tight through the top. I am a C/D and I had no chest in this dress. It was really comfortable and I got compliments on it all night. If I were to order it again I would get a 6short and just know that it will not be fitted below my waist like the model dipicts it.

I wore this dress for a sorority winter formal. I received so many complements; I felt glamorous in it! The dress fit perfectly. It was very flattering around the stomach and really emphasized an hourglass figure. It was too difficult to part with this dress! If I could afford it, I would've bought it myself! Rent this dress and you won't be disappointed. This is the first time I used Rent the Runway and I will definitely be using it again for any more occasions I have!

This dress is even more beautiful in person. You will feel like a total princess. It hugs in all the right areas. If you are busty, please note that it may be slightly tight up the top. Overall, a stunning dress. You won't be disappointed.

Caution for the ladies with bigger butts- I could not sit down in this dress without pulling it up. That was the only con though, it was so beautiful and I got so many compliments. I'm very curvy so this was actually my back up dress that I didn't think I'd wear but it ended up being so beautiful in person and although it was black it truly stood out.

Though there were no prior reviews to me ordering this gown, I chatted with a stylist and ordered both the 2P and 4P, however, upon receiving the gowns the 2P fit true to size! The gown was gorgeous and with my 2 1/2" heels, it just barely skirted the floor. The gown was gorgeous and I received SO many compliments throughout the evening. I will definitely be renting again for any and all future events! Thank you again RTR!

I thought this dress was very dramatic and stunning, so I didn't get lost in a sea of black. The over the shoulder lace detail is very striking. I ordered the LONG and am 5'10" and it was good only w/4 inch heels, so I'd order the regular and not the long unless you are really, really tall like 6' and up. I received a lot of compliments on it.

I absolutely love this dress! It was beautiful and I adore it. Things to know: If you are bigger chested, it will flatten you out though I imagine those with C cup or less wouldn't feel as smooshed. Would be a great dress for those not looking to flaunt that part of their figure. It was fairly easy to dance in though I needed large heels to fit in the regular length (wore about 4 inch heels and that was perfect). There are a ton of layers so I'm guessing a warm weather event would make it rather hot to wear. I didn't bother with a necklace for fear of catching on the fabric (same with a bracelet), so I suggest just nice earrings and they worked great. Had tons of compliments from strangers and friends (in person and from the pictures online). Love this dress! Mine had a weird tear on the inner lining, but RTR got back to me quickly regarding it and the customer service was great.

I absolutely LOVED this dress, the fit was amazing and I felt so classy and beautiful when I wore it. I got tons of compliments all night long and it was as comfortable as it was stunning. I wore ~4" heels and it was perfect, I traded them for flats by the end of the night but it was just sweeping the floor and didn't look too long. This was by far my favorite rental!!

This dress definitely ran true to size and was the perfect length with my 3 in. heels. It was a little difficult to get into because there are so many layers to the dress involved so I just had to make sure that everything stayed flat. I thought it would be hard to move in due to the shape of the dress but I had the best time dancing in this dress! I wore a strapless bra underneath it and with the built in bralette I wasn't worried about any "tugging up". I paired this with emerald green chandelier earrings and a gold cuff with emerald accents.

I rented a size 4R and it was a nice fit, but it made me look a bit flat chested. I'm a 34C and I felt as if it didn't really flatter my curves as much as I wanted it to. However, I highly recommend the dress for a formal/black tie occasion. It was very elegant and I received so many compliments.

I felt so classy in this dress and multiple people went out of their way to compliment the dress! Fits true to size. Rent this for that movie star glam feeling.

I received the dress the day before the event it was so easy and convenient. I received so many compliments on the dress and promoted RTR every chance I got! I will definitely be ordering again for next year's party! The fact that I could just put it in the mail the next day without having to worry about dry cleaning or anything was wonderful. Thank you thank you for making my evening so wonderful! The only down side is that I did not receive the stylist bling, but did receive the Kate Spade earrings I don't remember ordering those but they were beautiful with the dress.

RTR called me the evening before it was to arrive to let me know that the 6L I ordered was not actually available, and only the 8L (backup) would be shipping. I had a small panic attack, but Serena, the stylist I spoke with, was extremely apologetic and offered to let me choose an alternative free of charge. With her help, I quickly picked another option. Luckily, I didn't need it! Although roomier than I would have liked, the 8L fit well in the top and was the perfect length. I am 5'9 and with 4 inch heels, the dress swept the floor. It was comfortable and very easy to dance in. I felt confident and received many compliments. This was a perfect dress for a holiday ball.

True to size!! It hugs all in the right places and gives you a nice sexy fit. I'm 4'11 and wore 6 inch Christian louboutin heels and the length was just right.

I wore this to the USMC ball. It was absolutely beautiful and fit like a glove. I got numerous compliments on the dress. It does run long though. Thankfully, I was in a wheelchair most of the night due to a surgery, so I didnt have to walk in it more than a few steps. There was a small snag in the inside lining of the dress, probably due to the length, but you could not see it. I would highly recommend this dress.

Wore this to an annual Society Holiday ball...ordered the 8R and 10R....the 8 was a perfect fit...and the way it's designed, made my figure look even curvier. (That's a good thing!) Can't tell you how many compliments I received...especially from men. One woman who co-owns an exclusive dress shop in town wanted to know if I bought it there. Told her "no" and smiled to myself. It has a very expensive feel to it...and although it was longer than I expected...I simply had to put on my 5 inch heels...and I was great to go! Would rent this again....

The fit was great! This dress really makes you look like you have serious curve even if you are pretty straight. The dress was super long. I'm 4'11 and was wearing 4 inch heels and there were about 3 inches left. It was a good thing that I was stationery for most of the shots. They ran out of 0P or 2P. I normally wear a size 0 but ML dress tends to be smaller in sizes.

This dress is as beautiful in person as it is online. Perfect balance between classy and sexy. Unfortunately, I was unable to wear it because it was too long. At only 5'2", I need petite length in full-length dresses and petite isn't offered in this one. I put on the tallest heels I had (probably 3-3 1/2") and it still didn't get me there.

Having rented many dresses from RTR this ranks among my top favorites! I highly recommend it!! Pros: I am 5'2" and long dresses are hard to find in a Petitie length...the length of this dress was perfect! The hem of the dress just touched the floor in 3 inch heels. The top layer of tulle is longer than the dress hem and adds a beautiful and dramatic element. The fit was very flattering, and just right around my large rear end. Cons: The zipper was very difficult and seemed to catch on the lace.

The lace is like silk, not scratchy at all. The fit was a little tight in bust but I am a 36D, fit in waist /hips was slightly big but overall an 8R fit and looked fine. I could not have zipped the 6 due to the bust (RTR did not send the alternate size 6 but did promise to send me ANY other dress overnight if the 8 had not fit.) I had to wear 3 1/2 " heels . Loved the dress ! The zipper was a little "sticky" in places but it did ultimately go up!

This gown was simply lovely. The body fit well but it was about 1.5" too long for me. I wore 3 inch platform shoes. The poofy part was a lot of fabric and tulle, so it was a bit hard to dance. The tulle covering was very pretty and elegant, I received lots of compliments and felt like a queen!

The dress is beautiful. It has a little waist strap inside the dress to help fit it snugly around your ribcage for an hourglass shape which is nice. I normally wear a 0 but wore the 2 because the 0 was very tight, especially around my hips and bust. I ended up wearing a strapless bra with the 2 which made it fit really well, provided good shape, and it was comfortable all night.

The dress felt amazing and I had so many compliments! Pair this beauty with some chunky earrings, designer heels and you have yourself a red carpet ensemble!

I never wear black dresses to a formal affair because so does everyone else but this dress was the exception. It is sophisticated and stunning. A women stopped me and said she wanted this dress to wear to a wedding so I shared my RTR secret with her. She was thrilled as was I.

This dress is gorgeous. It covers any flaw you my have with your body shape. I ordered as a back up dress and was incredibly disappointed that I couldn't wear it because it was WAY WAY WAY toooooo long. I am 5'2 and had on 4.5 inch heals. The dress was still 2-3 inches too long. :( I normally wear a 6, but the 8 fit well. If I try it again, I will go with the short/petite length.
