This dress is very much business on the bottom and party on the top! It runs true to size, but a bit tighter right where the top of the shell hits and more fitted in the ribcage area. The hips give a fitted illusion, but there is actually a good amount of room. I really enjoyed the overall look at think it's a style you can really dress up or down. 

I received an e-mail the day before my order was due to ship indicating that my first-choice dress was damaged by the previous renter.  Luckily, this beautiful dress was available.  The garment is solidly constructed and the piping on the hem is also used to create the unique overlay.  The size 0 was a perfect fit and very comfortable to wear.  I styled the dress with black pumps, hematite earrings and the gorgeous Ella Carter "Dylan Bracelet" I received as a Mystery Bling.  Thanks to RTR and Stylist Megan E. for getting me dressed for my event!

The dress fit nicely. It was easy to dance in. I had to wear one size up because I am nursing. Otherwise it would be true to size. Overall, it was a great dress!

Needed a dress for a fashion shoot that looked classy and elegant. This fit the model perfectly and matched with the Elizabeth and James purse we paired with it.

This dress was sexy. It fit perfectly and turned every head in the room. 

I wore this dress to a birthday party. I usually wear an 8, but a 10 fit me well, mostly because the fabric just doesn't have a lot of give around the hips. Well proportioned, thoughtfully crafted (as DVF always is), and perfect for this transitionary time between winter and spring. 

I ended up not wearing this dress because it was still so cold out but I would rent again. Fabric is lightweight but structured/stuff cotton. I liked the interesting top. Bottom was not too fitted and was relatively long.

I chose the dress because the design was unique and different from other DVF dresses I have fallen in love with. When I got the dress though the size 10 was way too big while the 8 was a tad tight on the top and the pleats on the front of the skirt creates a small poof so I wasn't super thrilled with the silhouette it was creating. However I (begrudgingly) bought a pair of spanx  it actually made a worlds difference. I had a ton of fun rocking this dress all weekend. 

I paired the dress with black open toe wedges from Nine West and drop earrings I purchased years ago. 
If your looking for a unique dress to wear for one night but don't want to spend high end department store prices definitely rent this dress. 

It fit very well. Hugged all of the right places, but I didn't realize the fabric of the lower part of the dress was a different quality fabric than I was expecting. The two pleats at the front bunched near my stomach in a weird way, but I got a lot of compliment on the dress as a whole. 

I loved this dress so much in the photo and couldn't wait for it to arrive.  When it did, I tried it on and didn't think it would work.  The six was a snug around the hips causing the area around my stomach to bunch up.  Not the most flattering. I decided to order a replacement dress.  The dress wasn't delivered because I wasn't home when UPS got to my building, so I called customer service. Mary Kate was so awesome and got UPS  to let me come to their warehouse to pick it up, but the pick up time was after my event started.  I ended up making the caught up dress work.  I had to adjust periodically, but overall, am glad the replacement didn't arrive because I felt great in this dress and got a lot of compliments.  I wore this to an afternoon First Communion party and then to my bday party--it transitioned from day to night nicely.  Great unique dress but if you have full hips I would get your extra size one up.

Very flattering at the waist. Bust is a little tight fitting so I couldn't wear a bra but didn't necessarily need to.

The fit was like a glove!  The length was perfect for my 5'2" frame and wide hips.  I found myself pulling up the strapless part of it (under the netting) every so often but a little fashion tape would have saved me from that problem.  I did get a few comments in regards to what the netting looked like (a hammock, mesh on fruit, etc.) but it was all in fun and everyone really did love the dress!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this rental, but it was great!  So different from everything else!  I got lots of compliments, both in person and on social
Media!  Zipper goes a little hard at waistline where materials meet.

It fit perfectly. You just have to watch to make sure that the bust line doesn't creep down. I wore a sticky bra and sometimes those would sneak out of the top. 

I wore this under a blazer for a work-related party in the entertainment industry. It's very flattering and gave me a little lift up top. It was a little shorter than I'm used to but a lot of fun! 

Worn for a work fundraiser gala that is "Formal with a twist."  Perfect compliment of formal and fun.  I am normally a 10, but can sometimes do an 8 with certain cuts so this one fit like a glove with the 8.  Did have a bit of room in the belly area which doesn't show much, but would be a bonus for someone with a small baby bump.

Very nice dress. Material was thick, or cotton, I don't know. But it worked. I felt very sexy in this

It's official! This just became my favorite RTR item that I've worn! Perfect fit! The netting adds a fun twist to the classic black dress. Our Uber driver (woman) stopped me as I got in the car to gush over the dress and my shoes. I'm in love with this piece!

Absolutely fabulous. The fit was perfect! I wore it to dinner on the water. I definitely recommend this dress

Beautiful dress! Does run small as I normally wear a 10 or 12 and agree with other reviewers to size up. It's a comfortable and stylish dress and I plan on renting it again. 

I wore this dress to my 30th birthday party and got many compliments.  Dress was true to size - it is form-fitting, but all the material is stretchy, so the dress was super comfortable to wear all night long.

I wore this for a night out in Brooklyn and loved it! I agree with the other reviewers: The bottom part is tight, but as the night went on the fabric stretched to a comfortable size.  I would order a size up as a backup. It's very versatile to dress up or down, and stands out from the crowd. 

Usually wear 0 but the zipper for the 0 dress wasn't closing up (once it's on you) so thankfully I had the back up size 2 which I ended up wearing. Since it's black it didn't really show that it's a bit loose on me. Wore it for my bday, fun dress for a night out in NYC. Belly area roomy enough for my little gut which I appreciated. Enjoyed this dress a lot ! Definitely recommend ! And for my height, length is just about right !

Rented this for a trip to Vegas and it was such a great find. Nice fit, comfortable and lots of compliments!

I rented this dress for a friend's birthday party - I liked that it was fun but not super formal and also had a somewhat relaxed fit for a night out dress. I would say the dress runs a bit small, especially on the top as the fabric has no stretch and would suggest sizing up if you are a C cup or larger. Otherwise, this is an awesome dress that I'd love to wear again in the future!

Despite how the pictures seem and how it looks on the model, the bottom of this dress is no way form fitting. It's a looser fit which allows this dress to still be work appropriate. 

The top has an eye catching style and is so unique that you'll be complimented by strangers on the street in mass quantities. 

Loved this dress and wish I could keep it! 

This dress was great! It was a little snug around the chest, but I didn't feel restricted. I got so many compliments, and I may have to rent it again!

This dress was very comfortable and fun to wear. I never had to worry about pulling up my strapless bra and dancing was very comfortable. I got lots of compliments on the unique style of the dress. Would rent again. 

I loved this dress! I wore it for our engagement party at a rooftop hotel in NYC! It was perfect for the occasion & I got so many compliments on it. I read other reviews that said that it runs a bit small. I wear either a 4 or a 6, and I'm glad I got the size 6, as it would have been a bit too tight, and too short. I would recommend this dress for an evening out, a party or even for a fun wedding! If you are in between sizes, I would suggest going with the bigger size! 

I really liked this dress.   The only negative is that the top is very tight for larger chests--I had to wear a jacket because the top was too tight to look good.   It's also too short for professional events for taller gals.  But it's really flattering otherwise, good fabric that looks tailored but still with a bit of stretch.   It looks very sharp and got lots of compliments.

Fits really well, conservative but flattering. Received so many compliments!

No bra necessary.  A good length.  Not to short or to long.  Change the shoes, change the look.



Photographs really well. It's dressy enough for an event, yet materials are also good for daytime. Upper is pretty tight, and lower is looser with some pleats in the front that make it bunch out a little for a more classy vs sexy look. 

I really, really liked this dress. I had seen it online and didn't think it was anything special, but when I went to the RTR store I tried on a bunch of dresses and it was by far my favorite. 

The dress is very tight--I had to have my friend zip up the back--but I felt like it hit me in the right places. I didn't wear a bra with it because I thought you would be able to see bra lines through the back. I wore Spanx but probably didn't need to (the dress material is pretty thick). The dress was super comfortable. I felt really pretty in it and got a lot of compliments!

Runs small so go up a size. Zipper is hard to pull up, gets stuck. But over overall extremely happy! Material holds you in , In all the right places!  Got so ma y compliments! 

this dress fit exactly as i expected based on the description and other reviews.  loved the dress and the fit

Runs a little snug at first, but stretches out a bit over  the course of the evening. I wore this to the rehearsal dinner of my best friend's wedding and it was great!!

I rented this for a night out for my brother's birthday with some friends. I loved it! So comfortable but classy. The 12 fit but I chose to wear the 14 instead due to minor snugness in the bust. Would definitely recommend it!

This dress, along with several other options, were sent to me when my original choice became unavailable. I received the size 10 and wasn't sure what to expect since I normally wear an 8. I couldn't be happier with the fit. This dress hugged all of my curves and made my legs look slim. 

The mesh top is a great detail and I chose not to wear a necklace as it would have taken away from the neckline of the dress. I did wear chunky gold earrings and chunky gold bracelets. 

I needed to wear a strapless bra with the dress for some support but I suppose one could go without. 

Fantastic alternative dress- this will be rented again !!

I chose this dress from a retail shop after my online order didn't arrive. I'm so glad the original didn't arrive - this was a much better pick.

The dress was true to size. There's a little give in the white mesh part, but the bodice is made of a non-stretchy material. It's lightweight and great for a summer event. 

I paired this with long earrings and nude heels. The dress doesn't need much in the way of accessories; it truly stands on its own.

I rented this for a wedding and I received a lot of compliments. This was a back up dress for me and I ended up wearing it. I felt like it was a little big around my waist but people said it did not look like it was. Also around the neck felt a little tight when sitting but overall it was super cute.

Wore this to my 30th birthday party. I wore the size 8, I typically fit into a 6 or 8 depending on the fit of the item. I loved the dress and got lots of compliments. I was worried that the arm holes would be very constricted but they weren't at all. My only complaint is that the dress was somehow very fitted in the hips (which means it would ride up) but it was very loose in the stomach. Also, the zipper would sometimes catch at the seam between the black bottom and white top. Overall great dress, comfortable to wear!

I usually wear a 6 but the 6 was too tight on top and was ok on bottom. I went with the 8 for the top but it was way too big in the bottom for me. Plus, the 8 seemed REALLY short- and then I noticed that it had been shortened by a previous renter! I was able to remove the stitching and then had to steam out the crease and was super annoyed.  I think this dress would be fun for someone with a bigger bottom and smaller top- the opposite of me;) 

Love this dress! Wore it for date night. Runs true to size. 

It was cute for a night out - top is a little tight but made it work!

Fit was fantastic. So many compliments!! Love the style!! The "netting" pattern was a bit worn and I actually had two sections come apart before I left the house and had to sew/tack them back together. Carried a sewing kit in my purse just in case but luckily didn't need it! 

The fit was true to size, but this dress is short. I am 5'2" and it was definitely a mini on me. It's very comfortable. The skirt has small pleats but there is piping at the bottom of the dress so there is no slit in the back of the skirt.

You won't find this dress on anyone else! Really cute and fashionable. Different and fun. Loved this dress!

This dress was beautiful, the top fit a little snugly and the bottom not so much (for reference I'm a 34 B and a size 4 in pants) It was my first RTR, and was shipped to me overnight after the first dress I rented didn't feel as comfortable as I thought it should've.  Would rent again tho!

Comfortable and unique dress with a sexy twist.  I saw lots of heads turn as I walked by.  It is probably true to size, but with my true hour glass figure, I had to size up for my bust (36 DD).  Sizing up made the waist a couple inches large, but I got away with it.  Being short, I used fashion tape to "hem" the dress 3 inches to give it an edge for a night outing in Miami.   I felt sexy and pretty. I'll definitely consider renting this again.  I gave the dress 4 stars because the construction of it did not feel like a $500 retail. 

I ordered this in a zero, I am sometimes a 2 but I took a chance with the zero. You can't tell in this picture but I couldn't even get this all the way zipped. I would've liked to have worn this, it has a very interesting look. The material wasn't what I expected, I didn't look at the label but I'm not sure if maybe this is linen or polyester? It is slightly textured and has no give to it. The top of the skirt where it meets the white lattice has a little bit of rouching that goes all the way around it. Didn't bother me but I couldn't tell from the pictures online that it was there. It was also a little shorter than I expected. Would've made a great date night dress. 

This dress was adorable.. loved the top, but the bottom was unusually tight and I thought the quality of the bottom of the dress was not up to par.. If you stood still, it was great, when you walked it rode up.  I didn't wear it for that reason, I knew it would drive me crazy and if I went up a size top would have been too big!!

I received a TON of compliments for this dress which I wore to a Christmas Gala. To be honest, it is not 100% MY type, but it certainly has an appeal to it. The biggest thing I noticed is that it was perhaps too short for my torso. The top of the dress should have fallen lower because the bottom black portion of the dress hit me at the wrong spots which made it less flattering than it would have been if I was 3 inches shorter. Other than that it was great! 

I wasn't sure about this dress but my boyfriend loved it so I went for it! I'm a normal 4 but ended up wearing a 6 only because it was more comfortable. I loved this dress and can't what to rent the runway again!
