It hugs the body so well. Love this dress!

So cozy and great for a night out. No pockets, fun pattern on top of velvet 

I *loved* this dress. Sexy in an elegant way, and comfy enough to nap in. I rented it for a formal work event, but it was just a little too busty for me - not inappropriately so, just not the vibe I wanted. I liked it so much I bought a ticket to a symphony concert the next day just to have somewhere non-work to wear it. 
The fit was amazing - because it's stretchy, the dress clings along the bustline with no gaping, and made me feel so svelte around the hips. The velvet isn't super heavy or warm, but it's plush and feels nice to the touch. I'm 5'1 and it hit right at my ankle bone so I could wear it with flats. The sleeves could have been an inch shorter, but they're fitted so the length looked just fine. Go for it! I took a chance on this style and I was amazed how good I felt in it.

Perfect for the work holiday party. I had to wear a demi-cup bra with wide-set straps to hide them, and I couldn't wear shapewear because I have the kind that extends down the thigh, and they peeped out of the slit. Other than that, great dress. It's form-fitting and has the deep slit, but the long sleeves and length make it more conservative. 

This is not me! It’s my daughter who is 5’9” with a slim build. She tried the small and medium and chose the small. She wore it to a cocktail/fundraiser field her job. According to her it was very comfortable, stretchy and she received a lot of compliments. 

I felt amazing in this!!! I wore it to a work conference dinner and awards night. The material is thicker and velvety - perfect for a winter event! Obsessed!!! 

Wore this cutie twice. Once to an Audrey Hepburn brunch benefit with black classic pumps and another time to a poker night benefit with boots that was cowboy themed. I was looking for something classic with a little way to show off some leg. This number was perfect. 

This dress was not your average black dress! It stood out and was so classy but sexy! It has a beautiful neck line and leg slit. I received soooo many compliments. On top of that it was incredibly comfortable and stretchy. The only thing was with the bra I wanted to wear I did need fashion tape. 10/10 recommend!

This dress was amazing. I rented it for a work holiday party. It fit so well and was so flattering and cute. I got so many compliments and felt so confident. The mirror picture doesn’t even do it justice, it was such an amazing dress to wear for a fun night

Gorgeous dress for a formal affair. Not as thick as I expected but that was okay with me. A little big on top if you're small-chested, but works perfectly with a sticky bra. Got a ton of compliments!!

True to size fit, hugs the perfect amount but not too much. I would have normally ordered a size XS (wasn’t available) but was very happy with the S. A little give to it too. The dots feel like the equivalence of tiny puffy paint dots and do not give off a shine like some of the reviews state, but do add great texture. The dress came down to about an inch above my ankles without heels. You cannot see the slit in this picture angle but it is higher — came up to just about or right below mid thigh… I did have to adjust when first sitting down. The square neck is wide - I used (for personal comfort) a couple pieces of fashion tape to minimize any gaps but it wouldn’t be necessary if you don’t mind. I wore this for a formal (black tie or cocktail attire) winter wedding and felt great. No issues with sleeves feeling tight and I do have more petite + athletic build overall. I do recommend!

Had this dress shipped as a backup and am so happy with it. Perfect stretch to it but also hugged all my curves perfectly.

I never wore it, but I think it looks really nice. I am just doing too much work/family stuff and need a date night to wear this out. Bra underneath needs to be demi-cut, not full coverage, with wide-set straps. 

Been doing RTR for many years and this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE rental. The cut is so flattering, the material is soft and slinky, the slit is at the perfect spot. I wore nothing underneath because the fit is incredible and the material was juuust thick enough to be braless. Many, many compliments. Wore it for a work holiday party and it’s the perfect combo of covered up yet HOT. 

This dress was perfect for a winter wedding. Would also be great for a Christmas party.  I ordered Medium and Small and went with the small- I’m usually a 4 or 6.  I’m also short so this  is great for petites.  I did use some double sided fabric tape to secure my bra out of sight.  

Love how this dress hugs curves and is comfy at the same time! Highly recommend! 

I received so many compliments on this dress. I am normally between a 4 and a 6 and this dress in size Small fit absolutely perfectly. It is stretchy to the extent that you can eat and drink a few drinks and not feel like your bloat is showing, but very form fitting and forgiving in all the right areas. I have a smaller top of my body as opposed to the lower half so it wasn’t too big in the chest area to my surprise. Smaller chests you won’t have to worry about a bra with this! This came down to my ankles without heels. The slit is also perfect for some leg but you don’t have to worry about sitting down. My first time using rent the runway and i will for sure use it again :)

Wore for a cold, rainy evening wedding in late September. It was comfortable and fits true to size. The stone detail is subtle, and doesn't really show up. There is a weird seam across the bust as an earlier review mentioned, but it's not noticeable. Would recommend!

I want to buy this dress—it is AMAZING. Fits perfectly, has beautiful little metallic details, and makes you feel so hot. It has a nice slot on the side to make dancing easy lol. I would rent this dress again for any winter wedding. 

Worn for a benefit concert in NYC! Fit perfectly, the slit was not too high, and overall I received a ton of compliments and felt lovely. Would rent again.

The XS fit really well! It has a slight stretch. The tea length worked for me since I didn't wear heels with this one.

Super sexy without being too revealing. The slit is high but I never felt overly exposed.  The neckline is unique and the dress is extremely flattering. The dress fits TTS. It’s best to go without a bra and high cut shape wear is helpful but not necessary. Would definitely recommend.

I loved this dress. It fit, was forgiving, comfortable and made me feel like a million bucks. Would rent again!

so cute, so flattering, so comfortable. i usually hang between a 0 and a 2, and the xs was perfect and very flattering. i danced most of the night and wasn't sweating like i do in other long sleeved dresses, and definitely didn't have to worry about it ripping like other stiffer fabrics! absolutely perfect for a winter wedding.

A lot of compliments, honestly will rent it again if not buy it! It was very flattering

I normally wear S/M since I’m on the petite side. I was about 20 weeks pregnant and opted for a L. The dress fit perfectly with plenty of room to spare. Hit right at the ankle without heels on. 

I was pleasantly surprised. The velvet dress was comfortable and easy to move in. Only down side is that I had to wear a strapless bra due to the neck and shoulder line. But, got nothing but compliments at the NYE wedding. 

Stretchy, slimming dress! I was worried the slit would be too much/too high but it’s not. I would recommend a strapless bra with it given how wide the neck is, otherwise straps will likely show. 

This dress was fantastic! It fit like a glove and I received so many nice compliments during and after the event. I am only 5 foot 2 so the dress was definitely longer on me than on the model but I prefer the way it fit me! 

The neckline was very open and wide so it was hard to hide a bra. The fabric is thin, stretchy and velvety. I got a lot of compliments and it was perfect for a fall wedding because of the sleeves. I wore it with velvet black pumps. If I could change anything about this dress it would be the slit, it was a little high for my taste but my husband loved it. Lol!
Size and fit notes 145 lbs, pregnant with a tiny bump, and 5’4

Wore to a work gala and everyone loved the polka dot detailing. I normally wear a small, but the xs fit perfectly and was still stretchy enough for a full dinner. Highly recommend!

Dress fits true to size. I got so many compliments on it, the perfect fall weather dress. 

I ordered medium and large but the large fit comfortably. I received ao many compliments in this dress - it was beautiful but easy to wear and kept me warm. I was able to wear a regular bra, which was a plus. 

The square neckline is a little funky, but nothing a sticky bra can’t handle. I love the velvet with the tiny textured details. I received endless compliments and felt super sexy while also polished. I wore it twice to two separate events. I can definitely see myself renting this again this holiday season. Such a great dress!

Felt sophisticated and sexy. This was great for a dismal event in the dead of winter. Loved the neckline and the slit. 

Wore this dress to my dental school graduation gala! Very comfortable and stretchy. I did still wear spanx underneath, but felt great in it otherwise. My only complaint is the neckline is very wide so I felt that my bra straps kept showing-- Definitely couldn't go without one either!
