Perfect dress! Comfortable, great for curves
I could live in this dress! Perfect fit, great for curves. It’s a beautiful, rich color with a great fabric. I didn’t even have to unzip the zipper, there’s good stretch. Rented the L and XL - wore the L. The XL was big on top. It’s a perfect dress!

Beautiful, comfy dress - gorgeous color
I absolutely loved this dress. The color is a rich coral and the dress is incredibly comfortable. Seriously considering buying it! You can dress up or down. Note: size down! I sized down to a medium and didn’t even need to unzip it. I could have sized down twice and still been okay. It’s also pretty long. I’m 5’4” and wore tall wedges - the dress barely brushed the floor.

Perfect color, exudes FUN!
LOVE this dress and I wish I could keep it. The color is amazing, the material is light enough for summer, but heavy enough to hang nicely. The front tie makes it really fun AND it has pockets. This dress is a dream.

Cute and comfy!
Love these pants and never guessed sequin joggers could be so comfy! I could have worn them all night. I'm between and 8 and 10 in pants and wore the Large. They bunch a little at the waist - it's really an elastic waistband - but were really comfortable through the whole leg. A fun twist on black pants!

Swagger included!
There's something about a bright pink jumpsuit that has you strutting like Olivia Pope! Rented this for my birthday dinner and it was a standout stunner. The material is snug, but stretchy. The straps are adjustable and the top is loose fitting so it's really comfortable. I'm an hourglass shape and it felt like a glove without squeezing on top. So comfy, I could have slept in it! Material would likely be really clingy in hot weather

Great for curves!
This dress is perfect for the hourglass figure girls! It was form fitting without being tight - and the pattern accentuates your waist perfectly. I could have worn either the large or the XL - I'm typically an 8 in a dress that's fitted over the hips. The large would have worked but wouldn't have allowed for as much movement and comfort. I wore Spanx and a regular bra, but the material is thick, so you could go without the Spanx. One fit note: I'm a DD and this was still slightly baggy in the dress. Overall, I loved it and the colors were bright and perfect! A lot of compliments!

The color was perfection
Love this dress! The cut was really flattering and the color was absolute perfection. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the zipper was a little tricky. Without my husband, I don't think I would have gotten it on! The 8 would have worked, but my hips are no joke and I liked a little extra wiggle room. A great dress!

Fit like a glove without being too tight
I LOVE this dress. I've used RTR for years & this is the first dress I'm really considering buying. It's tight and you definitely need some smoothing undergarments (okay... I definitely did), but it's not suffocating and doesn't even feel tight. It's a beautiful color, great fit and really comfortable. I'm sad to have taken it off! I have a booty/big thighs and it had the perfect amount of stretch. Be advised: it's WARM. But it's beautiful and I can imagine it would fit any body perfectly. I could have worn a medium or large - wore the large because the arms were just a little tight in the medium.

Great color, fun dress
I rented this dress for my birthday party and it was great for a fun night out. The color is fantastic. The fit is a little unusual. I'm bigger on the bottom, so it made me look more hippy, but it cinched up at the waist, so it accentuated curves. The strange thing was that it was baggy in the chest. I'm a 34D and I didn't completely fill out the bust. Overall, the dress runs large. I rented the 6 and the 8 (typically wear an 8) and I wore the 6. The only size difference seemed to be in the skirt

My favorite rent the runway dress ever! Knockout color and perfect fit!
I couldn't love this dress more! The color was perfection in a sea of black. The length of the petite was perfect (I'm 5'4). I worried about my hips and chest squeezing it, but the material had just enough give that it hugged the curves, but was comfortable and easy to move/sit in. It was even a tiny bit big in the chest, even though I'm a 34D. I'd rent this dress a million times - I wish I could have kept it!

Sleeves felt a little like Star Trek.
This dress was so cute and I loved the way the body fit, but the sleeves were just a little odd. My husband described them as football shoulders - i think it was a little more like Star Trek. It may be because i have broad shoulders and bigger upper arms. I ended up wearing a different dress.

Great neckline, plenty of room to breathe.
Ive been eyeing this dress for the last few months and added it to my order at the last minute. Its really cute and fun and fits so well. The neckline is perfect without showing too much. Im bigger on the bottom and the bottom is poofy, but its a good length. Feels like it should have pockets, though. It runs VERY large. Im normally an 8 - the 4 was a little loose.

Great cut, great shine!
I love this dress! I was so sad to send it back. I rented the rose gold version a year ago and love this one even more. I'm typically a 6 or 8 - the 6 was perfect and maybe even a little big. I'm a DD and this was great without being inappropriate. It hugs the rib cage and waist just perfectly without being too tight on the lower half. The sparkle was amazing and the color even more vibrant in person. I will absolutely rent it again!

Great color, super comfy and flowy.
Loved this dress! The color was gorgeous in person, it's a brighter blue than I expected. If you're short, get the petite! I am usually a 6, but I'm 5'4" and the regular size was really long. The 8P fit the same all over, but was just short enough that the dress barely skimmed the floor in 4" heels. I'm busty and it had something of a uni-boob effect, but it was a great fit in the waist. Paired with an orange statement necklace, which livened it up a little and was a good contrast.

Not great for busty girls!
It's a beautiful, elegant dress. I wish I could have worn it, but the side zipper makes it really tricky for bigger chested gals like me! I'm a 34D and I couldn't get it zipped. Good thing it was my backup dress.
Noir Singapore Sensation Gown
HALSTON

LOVE this dress for the simple fact that it's sparkly and feels like a special occasion. Great fit.
The "wow factor" is high on a dress this sparkly, but the cut and length made it feel fun, too. The fit was good, but it's a little roomier in the back than I expected. While that made it comfortable, it also made for a little less flattering fit in the back than I would have liked. The dress was also a little roomy in the chest, which is strange because I'm a D or DD. I would suggest going a size smaller if you have a smaller chest, you'll have room elsewhere. The zipper was sticky, too, and took some work to get started. I would absolutely rent again - my 4 year old son cried when I had to send it back :)

Loved this dress. The color is spectacular, the fit is extremely flattering. And: POCKETS!
The dress fits incredibly and, though I'm bigger in the chest (34D), the 6 fit very well. It was tight in the rib cage, but the overall fit was very flattering. I feel going up a size would have made it too long. It's lightweight, but the fabric looks heavier and makes the dress look more formal than it feels. The color is even better in person and several people used the word "stunning" - talking about the dress, not me :) The fit is great and the pockets are fantastic. I was sad to send it back!
