This dress is magnificent.
I found this dress to be absolutely beautiful. It does fit tight on thighs -- my posture was very straight all night! Definitely glad I got a backup in a M because the Small which I usually wear was a bit small. I loved the dress though and it was complimented all night.

I was a bit nervous about my short height and the dress being too long but it ended up fitting just great.

Loved this dress! Got lots of compliments on the unique cut. It's classy and the color is super rich. Was easy to dance in - no problem with it staying up. The inner layer is snug but in a good way. Big fan! PS. The cork clutch is RTR too!

Beautiful dress!
- Overall, great dress. Would totally rent again - Tight in the bust area if you are full chested - Wool material, so not great for hot weather - Can appear pretty long if you're short like me, but the inner short skirt helps. Just make sure you show some leg in pictures so it doesn't look too long on you - Beautiful color, just as pictured

This dress is amazing!! Received multiple compliments.
The dress is overall a small fit. The bust was tight and I used fashion tape to keep it up. The shorter part of the dress was also a little tight when I sat down but overall, the dress was very comfortable and just stunning! I loved the bold color, a great alternative to your average cocktail dress. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Color, Fun, Elegant and Classy!
This is an amazing dress! I received compliments the entire night (even from the Bride). Others have commented that the bottom is snug; that is true but I didn't need to size up and was comfortable the entire night. The dress had been worn, so the top didn't lay right (the material underneath showed), but nothing some fashion tape couldn't fix. I highly recommend this dress!

Needed the dress last minute and only small and XS were left. As the case for any designer dress, unfortunately, the dress does run small and would've needed a medium for sure! Received a ton of compliments, and the color is stunning!

Beautiful color and unique shape
I received so many compliments on this dress. Everyone loved how the cut subtly showed off my legs and the wide belt highlighted my waist. It definitely runs small! I'm typically a size S, occasionally a size XS because of my small chest and occasionally a size M because of my wide hips. I received a size Small and Medium, and I couldn't even attempt to zip up the Small. I was able to fit into the size Medium, but it was definitely snug all around. There was a little room in the chest because I have a smaller bust size, but the skirt was SUPER snug around my hips and butt so it was a little difficult to walk in. But because of the outer layer, no one could tell it was tight. I would order a size up and if you have a curvier body, you may want to go up a couple sizes for your backup.

Loved this dress! I'm always a little nervous to wear strapless dresses but I felt really secure in this dress and didn't need to wear a bra. The material is thick and feels expensive but is light enough for a summer event. Also- the size Large that I wore happened to have a small clasp that someone had sewn onto it- thank God they did otherwise the zipper will unzip itself when you sit down or move around.

Beautiful attention grabbing dress
I rented this for an early fall wedding in Colorado. The color, cut style are all very beautiful and the dress looks and feels much more expensive than it is. The only issue that I had was that I didn't receive my backup size and the XS was pretty tight. It worked but it was a little hard to walk up stairs and sit super comfortably for someone who is petite but muscular. Other than that, highly recommend!

34DD busy so I was a bit scared that it wouldn't hold but it's snug enough that you could wear without a bra I opted for the Large to give me more room especially in the inside Material is nice and thick Overall just an awesome dress Try it out! Don't be scared! You get the both of best worlds! Short and tea length!

The wide belt makes this dress fabulous!
Wore this dress for a business cocktail/dinner event. The dress is structured so no bra underneath was necessary. It runs small, so size up as many other people recommend who have worn this dress. The color is beautiful and I LOVED wearing it! I ordered a small and a medium. The medium came without the belt but I just used the one for the small. :)

Amazing color, great style, very flattering. Does run small.
I loved this dress. The material is thick and feels very high quality, it fit beautifully and the color is gorgeous. This dress does run small though! I usually wear a small and am so glad I sized up to the medium. The shorter underskirt is especially snug but once I sized up it was no problem. Had s great night in this and received lots of complements.

A bumpy start but I loved this dress so much I ended up buying it!
I had used RTR in the past with no issues so when I received this dress and the belt was missing, I quickly called and was told they would call me back and that they were trying to locate a belt (the dress looked odd without it). I never received a call back and I had to email again the next day to finally get a response (no belt). RTR did refund my money (after I requested).All of my other experiences have been flawless so o am going to give them another try. The dress...is gorgeous and I loved it so much (knowing the belt would make it) that I ended up returning the belt less one that I was unable to wear and I bought the dress. The color is amazing and I received a ton of compliments. I am a 4/small and I did size up to the medium. The bottom is fitted and shortens your stride. I 'm sure that is not the normal costumer service and I did end up finding a dress that I love!

Awesome color, great fit.
I had two dresses that I rented for a black tie wedding earlier this month in New York. I let my hubby choose. I ended up turning the belt around since I'm really petite and the other way overwhelmed my waistline. Would definitely recommend for a formal event.

Pro's - well made, great style and cut, different and stands out!! I was even told that I was the best dressed at the wedding. Fun and feminine. Con's - none. it does run small. I usually wear a 2-4 dress size and the medium was still very snug. More pics - http://carryonwithbex.com/2015/11/12/carry-me-to-coronado/

The color is absolutely beautiful and the fabric was just right for an autumn wedding.
I usually wear a medium or size 6-8 and the large was TIGHT. The fabric does not stretch at all, but it was helpful in sucking everything in. Plus, I didn't have to wear a bra or spanx.

Stylist Review
Absolutely adore this dress! It has such a unique silhouette and the color is so vibrant. Red heads - this dress will really make your hair color really pop! It is perfect with simple high heels, since the dress does a lot of speaking for itself. Running true to size, we recommend sizing up for backup. The inner fabric is short and fitted. The belt is a bit tricky, but once you've got that, you're good to go! I suggest wearing no bra or a NuBra, and sizing up if you're larger in the chest. Pair with delicate jewelry.

The dress has no stretch. Very firm fitting; I suggest ordering a size up! Although the L fit me very tight it was still very comfortable. I was able to eat and dance with no problem! The only problem I had was pulling the dress down after using the bathroom. I have some curves and It was so tight in the bottom half. I struggled a little with that! Haha Either than that, I received compliments all day!! I felt very #glam in this dress!

Gorgeous color, thick rich fabric! RUNS SMALL.
This is a thick, heavy fall dress that translates into looking structured and stand-out. Received many compliments that it looked like a designer dress and the color was perfect for the Fall wedding attended. I would normally wear a 8-10 sized dress and the Large was extremely tight. The fit of the dress didn't look tight, but I could hardly sit down. I would size up.

Stylist Review!
This cobalt blue tea length dress gives off a fabulously bold statement. Running true to size we recommend sizing up for backup. Although it is strapless there is room in the bust. The fabric is thicker with no stretch so you're able to go bra-less or wear a strapless if you prefer. The hips are loose and the midsection is comfortably fitted at the natural waist with a slightly adjustable belted component. Pair it with strappy heels and light jewelry.

Beautiful dress BUT
And that's a big but. And by big but, I mean my big butt. This dress was gorgeous for all sorts of reasons: the color, the interesting cut/silhouette, the thick linen fabric. My one issue with it was that the dress was built for someone with a full bust and a slim bottom. I have the opposite proportions. The inner part of this dress is like a pencil skirt. I got a size up (S) as my backup size, and it was a TIGHT fit. I don't think I could have gotten the XS on even if I tried. Even if I had gotten the M as a backup instead, I have a feeling the bust of the dress would have been too loose. C'est la vie. Worth it for one night at a wedding, but now I feel as if I intimately understand what it was like to wear a corset in the 1800s.

What you NEED to know about this dress.
Okay this dress is amazing in theory but had some flaw where I almost sent it back. This dress runs SMALL. I'm usually a 4/6 S, the Medium was so tight over my hips and thighs, I couldn't pull it up for the restroom. That being said, it's short, but too tight to expose the bits. Stairs were entertaining. The top was looser, and I'm a 32C. and the lining was folding out from the top and had to be pinned in. There is structured boning on the sides that keeps your girls up but I'd suggest a backless sticky bra for shape. It's too low for a normal strapless. Once I was stitched and encapsulated in this thing, it was GORGEOUS. The color is vibrant and the over skirt drapes in a flattering way. The fabric is like a thick lined linen but perfect weight for summer. The belt is adjustable and detachable. Although this dress is BEGGING for pockets, I'd still recommend it.

Love the dress but runs small!
I absolutely love this dress! It was perfect for my fiancé's mid January holiday party. I highly recommend going a size or two up. I'm normally a medium but I rented the L and XL and decided with a few tweaks the L would do. I'm curvy and neither dress sat well on my hips and both were very big in the chest. I wore this with some spanx and double sided tape for my chest and it was fine.
