I'm right in between a size 2 and 4, so this dress was a bit loose on me and did slide down a bit throughout the night, even with a bra underneath. I did like the thick material it was made out of, which gave a nice rigidity and shape to the dress. It's very flattering, and I would definitely recommend it!

This dress fits true to size, maybe even a little big - I rented the 6 and an 8 just to be safe, but I could have even gone down to a 4. Finding the right bra for this is tricky, and luckily I was able to just go without, but I would have been happier with one just to help keep the dress up. It wore great and it's a nice, thick material so it has some substance. I wore it for a beach wedding in Florida in October. I wanted to look "fall" without being hot or being under-dressed, and this hit the mark! 

Beautiful color, fit is to size, not too short, not too long, classy yet fun! Definitely form flattering

Overall, I loved the simple elegance of this dress.  The color and heavy fabric (ideal for fall or winter) were fantastic.  The only downfall is that a few times I had to shimmy the dress up because it started inching down, but that seems pretty typical of strapless dresses that are not tailored.  I was sad to give this dress back!

The dress fit me really well. Since it was strapless, there where a few times while I was dancing that I had to pull it up, but I guess that is a given when wearing a strapless dress. Overall, It was the perfect dress for Homecoming. The material is very heavy but not in a bad way it looked very well made. My specific dress did look a little worn and the zipper was obviously worn out but other than than it worked out well. 

Like I said, it is a beautiful dress, its a lot darker of a red in person! Made my Bcup boobs look fantastic which is nice. as the night went on  it did start to slide down a bit and i found myself pulling the top up quite a bit. It was a little above the knee on my body, Im short tho so. Also, it paired really nicely with my black heels, I went open toe so i did a very neutral french tip, nothing that would draw attention away from the dress. I recommend either a half up hair style or fully up. The dress will hang low on your body, so its a good chance to show off shoulders, back, and neck. It is a heavier fabric, carpet-like almost, but very breathable and I didn't feel weighed down

The dress was flawless! I adored the dress once I seen it. The fit was perfect not too tight on the bust. It was perfect for the occasion & got many compliments!

Love the thick material of the dress, it made it perfect for my fall formal

I wore this to a fall wedding. The dark red was perfect and the dress was heavy enough that I was warm the entire time. The dress is fitted from the waist up and hugs perfectly - didn't need to wear a bra and the dress was lined thick enough you didn't need one. There is nothing more annoying then having to pull your tube top up because it keeps falling down -- no problems here. Girlie and classy at the same time - great dress!

Thought I would need the 6 but ended up wearing the 4.  Super fun dress and was perfect for dancing.  It was very flattering and I got lots of compliments.  I would highly recommend it.

Did you rent the necklace too?  Love the combo!

Lisa, thank you! I did find it here and you can find it under Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry. It's the A-List necklace. I wrote a review for that as well. It was so stunning that I own it now!

Great dress with a very flattering shape. Loved the thickness to the fabric for Winter but it made the fabric less stretchy and very stiff. It also wrinkles easily so I steamed the dress before wearing it. Other than those cons it was awesome to wear. Lots of compliments and made people look twice at the restaurant!

Love this dress!!! It was my first rent, and every part of the experience was wonderful. I had trouble to the last minute trying to find a dress somewhere else and planned for this dress the week of my trip and it relieved all my stress finally having the perfect dress. I rented this dress to wear to the New York Philharmonic with my boyfriend on a weekend trip (this picture is obviously just trying it on in my tiny dorm room before my trip, I completely forgot to get a picture of us with my hair and make up actually done...) It's a very heavy fabric and a little large like said in other comments, so you should absolutely get a size smaller to be able to hold it up. I'm fairly busty and it was hard to keep it up, but nothing a little body tape couldnt handle. I'm also pretty short so I was surprised it still hit right above the knee for me. It also looked a little lighter in person than the picture but that wasn't bad, it was still beautiful. There's really nothing I can say truely bad at all. I felt pretty gorgeous walking the New York streets to the Lincon Center. It was absolutely the icing on the cake for a marvelous weekend!! <3

Wore this dress for my law school prom and it was so cute. Fit like a glove. It is made of VERY heavy fabric but stays up pretty well. 

fitted from waist through the bust,  wonderful thick material, really well made. I felt stunning, a very slimming style

It looked amazing! The fabric was not what I expected - it was quite heavy. A good winter dress! I wore my smaller 2nd size (a 4) and the bust area was still slightly large for me, but otherwise it fit really well and was very flattering. It did tend to slip down a bit when dancing - I probably should have used some tape beforehand. 

The way the dress is cut is extremely flattering.  It gave me the extra curves I wish I had.  Although it looks red in the pictures on this website, the dress is actually a very pretty burgundy.  The material seems like a fancy corduroy.  The material is thick, and the dress is very well tailored.  I wore the size six, although I think I should have worn the 4, as I did have to be careful as I was dancing, because the dress would slide down a bit.   **Side note:  I ordered this dress for a wedding in NJ.  I had the dress shipped to NJ, not anticipating that Hurricane Sandy would interfere.  I was flying in from TN for this wedding, and my flight was canceled.  I was worried that I would not be able to make it, and not be there to receive the dress.   I contacted Rent The Runway, and they were BEYOND helpful.  Even though they were dealing with power outages and wind damage, they still made the effort to respond to my questions concerning my travel situation.  They told me not to worry if I couldn't make it.  They told me that they would arrange to call the dress back from the shipper, and that they would even give me a merchandise credit.  When I emailed them and told them that I found a flight, and that I would make it to NJ, they immediately shipped the dress.  Incredible service.  I will come back and rent here again, again, and again.  They do not disappoint. 

The tightest part is the waist, but I thought it was very flattering where it hit, and it was a little big on the boob- nothing a padded bra can't fix!

The dresses fit everyone well, expect they all had to belt them up since they kept sliding off their breasts. Try a size smaller. 

This dress is stunning! I loved how structured the fabric was and the color is really rich. This dress did run slightly big in the bust, so if you are smaller chested I would recommend sizing down in fabric.  This hit me at my knee, and you do need to a strapless bra with it.  This dress is really comfortable and extremely flattering, I definitely recommend!

I was very glad that I got the back-up size 6, because the 4 would not zip up. I think it's a combination of Zac Posen dresses running slightly small AND too many veggie burgers. In any event, I loved the dress and got tons of compliments on it. It was tight, but in a good way because I wasn't constantly tugging it like I have had to with some other strapless dresses. The fabric is very thick and it's more burgundy than the red it looks like in the picture. It did arrive very wrinkled and with one of the turned-down edges at the top turned up, so I had to take it to my cleaners to press which was an errand I would have preferred not to have to add to my list. Other than that--loved.
