This dress is perfect! The material is very comfortable and the bottom isn't too poofy. The only thing Ii was worried about was the hem, because there is a little piece of fabric underneath that can show at the bottom, but it is nothing a little fashion tape can't fix (and there was a sample of fashion tape in the box!). I am usually a 6/8, and ended up ordering both and wearing the 6. The sleeve length is perfect for someone tall, and the length of the dress is perfect. 

Great fit and style for a winter wedding! Wore it with the earrings modeled in the picture on RTR and tights. Very comfortable and a classic LBD. Only downside was the hem was messed up due to over dry cleaning. It ironed flat so I was able to wear it. Overall I liked it but was just disappointed for the condition. 

The perfect LBD. Incredibly flattering and very comfortable!

Great dress, love the long sleeves due to I am always cold. 

The fit was great, I'm a bit smaller on top, and since the skirt flares out, i was able to go with a size 4. The material is nice and thick, and the dress is super flattering. My only problem was that the tiny straps used for the hanger kept peeking out from the shoulders... If I owned the dress I would have just cut them off, but instead i just had to tuck them back in every once in a while. Other than that, loved it!

I loved this dress.  Fit exactly like it said it would and loved the accented neckline!! 

The stretchy fabric made me feel comfortable choosing the 4 when I'm between a 4 and a 6 and it was a great choice! I want to buy this dress and live in it!

The neckline really sets this dress apart. It is so cleverly made with zippered sleeves and the shape of the skirt. I originally ordered the larger size as Nanette Lepore usually runs small, but this dress was much larger. Rtr was wonderful when I called and sent me the smaller size immediately! It was perfect!

This was a perfect LBD! Loved the asymmetircal neckline and long sleeves. I played it up with gold jewlery and sky high heels. Would rent again in a heartbeat! 

I put my first size as a 4, and my second choice was a 6. I'm 5'8'' and I play college soccer so I'm pretty broad along the shoulders. I ended up wearing the 6 because it laid better across the top, but either one would have worked! The length was perfect, and it hit right below mid thigh, so I didn't have to pin it up at all. I paired it with black heels and emerald green/gold jewelry and it looked awesome. I got so many compliments & the process was so convenient. It was a very thick fabric, so great for the super cold winter weather we had that night! I will definitely rent again!

The fit was great. The flare of the skirt was fun and flattering. The neckline was flattering. The sleeves were flattering. I guess... everything was flattering. I wanted to keep it. 

I wore this dress to my sorority's preference night during recruitment. The cut is clingy, but not tight, to the waist, and the flares out in a fuller skirt. The cut is very flattering and the fit was true to size. If you have a bigger bust, go up a size though. The neckline is very interesting and adds a great dimension to the dress. This dress would be perfect for a formal affair when you want to look classy and not too revealing. This dress makes a great first impression and everyone was asking me where it was from! 

The fit was fantastic, I am very small up top and wider at the hips so this dress was perfect. Great length for a wedding-not knee length but not too short. The sleeves were very much appreciated at a Christmas wedding. They were also long enough which I NEVER find because my arms are very long. I loved the skirt and the cut of the neckline. Wore with a Nicole miller necklace from the website and it was the perfect touch!

The dress was perfect for a January Anniversary date to the local casino! The long sleeves and weight of the dress were perfect with a pair of knee high boots to keep most of the chill off from the car to the building and even inside the casino. You can wear a strapless bra, or if you need straps just use a small piece of double-sided tape to hold your strap to the neckline of the dropped side or wear a black bra and it will look like part of the dress. The dress was nice and fitted on the top through the waist and then flairs right at the hips so if you are like me with "child-bearing hips" you can get away with a true to fit size! 

I rented this dress for our company holiday party at our owner's house. I was so anxious to find the right dress... I wanted to find the perfect balance between fun/flirty and professional/classy (which is a lot harder than it looks!!)

This was actually my backup style that I ordered for the additional, but discounted cost. I did not anticipate to like it as much as I did because of how seemingly plain it was. However, it was simply beautiful! And really complimented my curves and my neckline. It was fun to pick flashy accessories to dress it up with, too!

The neckline is one-of-a-kind, and the full skirt is so incredibly flattering. It is on the shorter side, but because of the fullness, it looked totally appropriate. PLUS, I was soo comfortable in the thick, soft material of the dress on a cold night in December.

Don't discount this simple dress!! It is a perfect choice for occasions like these! :)

I wore this dress to a Formal (not black tie) Benefit and I absolutely LOVED it. The fit was perfect and made me feel very formal yet not overdone. The fabric has an almost neoprene vibe which proved it very comfortable to wear while still looking polished, and doesn't wrinkle so feel free to cut a rug. I highly recommend it! 

The dress material was a little bit thicker than I expected, and the dress was very modest which was what I was looking for for my event. It was extremely comfortable though, and you can wear a regular bra with it (the neckline wasn't a challenge with normal bra straps). Perfect to wear with big statement earrings!

The neckline made the dress awesome, very flattering. The shape was flattering too. I would definitely suggest a belt if you're a shorty like me though because the dress can kind of swallow you without it. It was pretty long but I wanted a longer style since it was a work party anyway!

I wore it for the father daughter dance it was really comfortable.

Pros: the dress is SO comfortable, it's classic and classy. 

Cons: the dress isn't in the best shape. It's not bad, but it's clearly been on here a while. A seam was out and there was a small hole in the armpit. 

I rented this for a simple dinner on my birthday and couldn't be more satisfied.  Upon taking it out of the box, I wasn't so sure I was going to like it because the bottom of the dress has some sort of mesh hemming to make the skirt fan out in true skater dress fashion and whomever ironed it, pressed the imprint of the hemming into the dress.  Luckily, it didn't show when I put the dress on and it just hung and flowed beautifully.  I normally wear a 6 but the 4 fit like a glove.  I have no hips so maybe that's a contributing factor.  Although a seemingly simple style, it's cute and girly and at 5'8, the dress was a flirty yet classy mid-thigh length on me.  Other reviews stated the sleeves were too long but I found them to be shorter than I'd like.  One cute detail, though, were the zippers at the wrists.  Another was the asymmetrical neckline which will be overpowered with any kind of bib or statement necklace so choose accessories wisely.  (I didn't wear the jewelry in the picture.)  The fabric is a nice weight with a some stretch to it.  I don't have the flattest stomach on the planet but you couldn't notice a bit of bulge so if your abs aren't washboard, this is a great choice.  The dress comes with inside snaps that some reviewers used to secure bra straps.  I think they are there to hold down the hanger straps because they pop out if they aren't secured down. I wore a regular bra and the straps didn't show at all. My night was filled with dinner and dancing and this dress is perfect for both. 

I was worried it would be too short but it was the perfect length. I received compliments all night long! Super comfy but a little loose in the waist. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a cute belt. 

Worn to a rehearsal dinner… very comfortable and elegant party dress!  Everyone LOVED it! The mid section was a tad big and I had to pin it on the sides in order to show the shape of my body.  The material is thick which was great for a cold December rehearsal dinner.  So fun and made me feel very confident, which is all anyone wants!  ;) 

I got a 10 with a backup of a 12...and I ended up wearing the 12 because it fit the girls up top better. The slight scoop added a sexy touch to it. The length was perfect, hit just above my knees. I got so many compliments on these dress. I would definitely recommend it and rent again!

I had to pin up the hem about 3 inches! This dress is much longer than it looks on the model!! There is also a piece of mesh at the hem of the skirt that makes it flow like in the picture that I was not expecting but all I did was fold that under and use fashion tape to hold it up and it worked for me! Over all the dress was very flattering and I loved it!! 

I loved the fit of this dress. It hugged me in all of the right places. I wore it to meet my boyfriend's family at an NYE party, so I needed something that was a little less revealing and flashy. I felt sexy and sophisticated. 

The dress is so comfortable. It's beautiful and the neckline is amazing. I ordered a size 10 & 12. I'm regularly a 12 but the 10 fit me better so I guess I'd say it ran big. It's a great dress, I loved it & so did everyone else.

This dress was an absolute dream. You can never go wrong with a little black dress! I received so many compliments on the dress, everyone was in love. I am only 5'1 and the dress hit a little above my knees, so it was a really good length. I have no complaints about the dress! :)  

I'm between a 2 and 4...and the 2 fit like a glove!  I used a wide waist belt with it but it would have looked great without.  I will rent this again!  Thanks RTR!  

Good dress for my engagement photos. Fits true to size if not a little large. Great classy dress!

I love this dress! I ordered a 10 which fit well but the bust was somewhat tight on me (I actually am a 34DDD) and I preferred the extra room in the 12 even though it was a little less fitted that in the waist. The dress is classic, a great length, flattering fit, extremely comfortable to wear and the neckline is very unique. I wish I owned it! 

The dress was a little tight, but also has a lot of stretch in the fabric. Also good for a small baby bump! The neckline is cute while being conservative so it's good if you're around families or kids

I wore this for Valentine's Day dinner out and it was a hit! The material was very thick and the dress was made well. The neckline is sexy but classy. I am normally a 4 and the 2 fit perfect. 

Ended up not wearing because I had other RTR options, but it fit very comfortably. Could easily dress up with jewelry. 

I loved the style of the dress, and it was forgiving as I had just had a baby six months ago and was still a little "bumpy". I felt like I looked good. My only complaint was that I was expecting the fabric to be a bit lighter. It was warmer out and I felt a little uncomfortable at first because of it, but that was probably in the description and I just missed it so no worries. Overall, a great dress!

I loved the material - not too thick but not too thin.  The fit was perfect and helped to even add some curves.  Very comfortable!  The arm length is a tad long but not where the sleeves are scrunched.  The liner/hem on mine was a bit worn and I did have to pin it.  I had a hard time parting with this dress and would absolutely order this dress for another occasion!

Cute dress for when you don't want to over do it. It was also comfy to wear. 

I chose this dress for my engagement photos. I wanted something simple and classic. Believe the reviewers when they say IT RUNS LARGE. I am normally a 8-10 so I ordered an 8 and had to get a 6 over nighted! The dress wasn't as flattering as I had hoped, but it got the job done. 

I liked this dress, thought the inside lining created sort of a smashy/uniboob effect. Maybe a 10 would have prevented that? Very pretty dress. Loved the neckline. Got a lot of compliments. Zipper was uncomfortable against my spine when seated. Will use RTR again but probably wouldn't rent this dress again 

Usually wear an 8, but it was way too big in the hips so I was happy I ordered down a size for the backup. Overall the dress looked great and was perfect for the wedding as a classic LBD option. Danced all night long in it - arms usually are tight on me, but it was just fine! 

The only problem was the 6 had a weird mesh that looked like it was hand sewn along the inside of the bottom of the dress... The stitching was all uneven and definitely didn't seem original to the dress, especially because the size 8 didn't have it.
