Was called "The Belle of the Ball"
This dress was fabulous. I did use a mermaid slip for a bit more dramatic look. The material looked rich, and shiny. It was easy to move around in, easy to dance in. It's a winner.

This dress was an attention getter, for sure.
I ordered the "long". I am 5'6", and wore 5 inch heels, but I am still wishing I had ordered the regular length. I did wear this dress with a mermaid slip. It made the silhouette much more dramatic, and helped a bit with the too-long length. The dress is very narrow. I usually wear a 6 or a 4. Although the 6 was a better fit on top, it was a visibly snug across my hips. I ended up wearing the 8, which was a bit loose in the chest area (I wore a very padded bra). However, the 8 did not make those "stretched fabric" lines across my pelvis. Overall, the dress was beautiful, and memorable. My husband commented that it was his favorite dress that I've worn thus far.

Super sexy, modern, and chic! This is the perfect fall dress.
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.

This dress is equal parts elegance, and sexy!
Although the dress runs true to size, the fit is definitely a tight one. The dress is spectacular, and the lines are very cool. The bunched shoulders, and the uneven hem are a fun touch. The fabric is thick. The length of the dress and neck line keep this dress conservative. The color and the fit, make the dress beyond sexy. I absolutely recommend this hot little number!

The service from Rent the Runway was exactly as easy and flawless as they described. I will certainly rent again. Thank you!
I am 5'6'', and ordered a 6L. The length was perfect with heels. The color of the dress is slightly different than it appears on the website. It is black and gold, not olive. However, the dress was stunning and flattering. The draped detail is beautiful, and the picture shown on the website does not do it justice. I received endless compliments all night. Thank you!
