This is one of the most comfortable dresses that I have ever worn. I loved the stretchy fabric and kangaroo pocket. It's very simple and professional but the neckline keeps it from being boring. It was perfect for my work holiday party. 

This dress is my favorite rental so far! The length was perfect and it is super-flattering. The neckline was not too low and the pockets were so useful. I have already ordered this a second time for an upcoming work event.

Great fit for someone shaped like a pear ;) The dress is definitely a dark navy. A little heavy material if you wanted to wear it for an event over 80 degrees. True to size - a little larger in the chest so if you're smaller than a B it might not work for you.

I am in love with this dress! I wish I owned it. I wore the 4 and it is true to size, just slightly loose in the bust, I didn't even try on the 2 because it felt great everywhere else. The pockets were so fun and the material was incredibly comfortable. So flattering! The dress was black but looked navy in some lighting so I wouldn't wear a black shoe with it. Loved it and would recommend to anyone looking for a black dress to wear that is hassle free  

I rented this dress for a special b-day event - it was perfect.  This dress fit my curves with no problems at all and was comfortable to move around in.  Seeing dresses modeled by tall women in size 0 & 2 I assume they won't fit me  -- this one did and I would definitely rent it again.

The dress was beautiful, and I was in the SEEN Column of our newspaper.  Elegant and easy to wear.

The dress was quite comfortable and fit well.  I think it rode up a little on the hips but it wasn't too bad.    It gave me a lot of confidence, and I would definitely wear it again.  

This dress was super comfortable! I was a little worried about the length, but it ended up being perfect. The criss cross detail on the front was beautiful and the pockets were definitely a plus. No complaints!

I wore this dress for a dressy cocktail/black tie dinner for work. I was a little wary because of the material (it's jersey) but with the right accessories it was perfect! I'm probably somewhere between a 10-12 but with my larger chest I usually have to go for the 12. The cut of the dress is really nice and I didn't feel like I was showing too much cleavage at all. AND it has pockets! It was a perfect dress that because of the simplicity of it, you can do so much! I would love to have this is my closet!

I am obsessed with this dress & wish I owned it. Wore it to a high tea bridal shower and got so many compliments. The bottom half is forgiving, the fitted portion is perfect and the dress is super comfortable. I have a large chest, and it was a little on display. Paired it with deep sea earrings and teal flower petal cuff. 

I loved this dress. It hug the body in the right places, the fabric was forgiving and the sweetheart neckline was very flattering.

I loved that this dress had pockets!  Had to be careful with how bulky the items were though - pocketed items fall/rest around the stomach area.  The material was lighter than expected, but the dress fit well and was perfect for a quick convention jazz set. 

Very comfortable but a little warm because of the thickness of the material.  Probably best for fall/winter events. Overall fit was good, but a little big up top. Overall, great first RTR experience!

Runs big. I usually wear a 6 - but 4 was perfect. Wasn't lined but very comfortable. Wore all day long and was comfortable. 

Very comfortable. Both the 6 and 8 fit but the 8 felt a little more comfortable. It did ride up a little at times. Overall I really liked it and got lots of compliments. Love the pockets!

This dress is wonderful.  The cut of the neckline is very flattering.  I am a 34b and I never felt like anything was going to pop out.  I did not wear a special bra .  I usually wear a size 4 dress and that is what I wore. I recommend getting your usual size plus one size smaller since the dress is very stretchy. The only surprise for me was that the dress was quite a bit shorter than I expected.  I am 5.5 and the dress fell about 5 or six inches above my knee.  A little short for work but oh well.. 

I really loved the fit of the dress, it was very flattering. However, definitely runs large. The material has a lot of stretch to it so I would really recommend ordering a size smaller than you usually wear. I usually wear a 10-12, so ordered both sizes. I wore the 10 but I probably would have fit into an 8 even better. I am a 36-DD and it was still a little roomy for me on top and in some photos the neck line went so low that my bra was visible. I would not order this dress if you have a small bust because the neckline is very roomy. If you have a curvy shape it is a very flattering dress. I got lots of compliments on the great hour glass figure it gave me. Word of warning ladies - this was my mistake for not reading the description, but when I placed the order I thought this was a black dress based on the photos. It is actually navy. I didn't mind, but it did mean I had to rethink my accessories at the last minute since my jacket and shoes I had planned to wear were black. Overall, my first Rent the Runway experience and I would definitely rent again. 

the dress is a bit loose. I had size large and the fabric was extra stretchy. The top was cut low, so be sure you have the right bra. I kept pulling the dress up to cover up. eventually, I just draped a scarf around myself for added confidence. 

I really enjoyed the pockets of the dress, too! 

Dress fits body very well (it's stretchy).  It's classy and can be worn to just about any event.  The smaller size of the two I ordered was the one I wore.  It doesn't run too large, but I'd definitely go with the smaller size.  The neckline is cut a little low and reveals a bit of cleavage (even with my size B chest).  Great dress, but I think next time I will order a dress which is a little more exciting and sexy.    

This dress is so classy! It runs true to size and is such a nice weight fabric. I received compliments all evening and felt so comfortable and confident in it.

I ordered a 0 and a 2, normall ywear a 2 and considered ordering a 4 for my second size but glad I didn't! It runs a bit large so the 0 fit perfectly. A tiny bit low cut, I'm barely a B cup and was fine if I wore a bra with no padding but any sort of push-up bra made it almost too inappropriate to wear around family. Absolutely loved the dress though!

Dress was extremely comfortable, love the pockets.  Fun dress and perfect for any event.

This dress has a classic, flattering design.  The fit is snug, but the stretchy fabric and dark color are very forgiving.  It even has pockets in case you want to go sans purse.   I wore it to my brother-in-law's rehearsal dinner and got lots of compliments.  

This dress was very comfortable to wear all day. It is a thick Jersey type material and the weight kept it from feeling clingy.  The color is really a nice navy blue, and it has pockets.  My only issue is that it was fairly short, so I sized up to add some length. The extra length helped with sitting etc waiting for the wedding to begin etc.  

The style and shape of the dress are really fun, but it was also perfectly appropriate for a party hosted by my parents' friends.

I wore this out for a night out in the city. PROS: Incredibly comfortable fit and true to size. Loved the material and the way it looked - gorgeous and classic. Also appreciated the pockets (which lie flat against the dress instead of pouffing up ). CONS: None - would definitely rent this dress again!

The fit was perfect.  I will note that for some the neckline (deep neckline) might be an issue, but I am small chested and it didn't affect me. I didn't notice it until after the event and perusing pics and it was a bit low.  

Love the pockets. Got tons of compliments. Highly recommend! 

Love the cut, the pockets and cute cap sleeves.  Excellent fit, wish I could have kept this one! Perfect go to black dress.  Its a nice thick ponte fabric, I wore it in the winter and it kept me warm!

I wore this dress for a formal work dinner party. It was the perfect length and was very comfortable all night.

Fit perfectly, hugs in all the right places

Rented this dress (twice) for weddings.  It has an elegant simplicity and a flattering overall cut.  The dress is made from a nice thick jersey and is completely lined, which makes it great for a fall or winter wedding. It's also incredibly easy to wear and to match with shoes/accessories. In terms of sizing, I would say that it runs slightly large (and has some forgiving stretch). Only improvement to this dress would be the addition of a back slit to the skirt, which would allow for easier movement. But overall a reliable, classic sheath suitable for many occassions.

The dress fit true to size, though you will need a demi cup bra or else it will show.  I am a little hippier with a smaller waist and this dress was perfect for it:  Slim and fitted at the waist, but forgiving along the hips and thighs.  Absolutely would wear this again!

I felt this ran true to size. I also ordered a size down and almost wore it but was glad I didn't by the time I was walking through the venue to get to dinner. The dress is form fitting (with enough stretch for comfort) but when walking it did ride up a little bit.

Dress was awesome.  Many compliments and I felt like a million bucks.  I am only 5' so I had to tape the top if the dress to the bra straps to keep it in place but it stayed wonderfully.....

fit extremely well, not too short, classic look -- i loved it!

i rented this to wear to a cocktail party where i was checking in people at the door. i felt sophisticated and sexy, but completely appropriate at the same time. the length is right and the cut not too low. the stylist suggested that i size down for my back up size and she ended up being correct that this runs a bit large.

I was so excited to wear this dress for a big conference. Unfortunately, it was delivered to the wrong house so I never even got to see it.
