Shines like a STAR

I really love this dress. I especially love how it looked in photographs. It almost appeared metallic. The fit was perfect.

I LOVE THIS DRESS !

This is a beautiful classic dress made from a gorgeous textured jacquard silk in a bright lemony yellow. This dress is comfortable, has pockets, doesn't show wrinkles. I added the vintage brooches and a tiny handbag . I wore this dress to a wedding industry event and received so many wonderful compliments. In this vibrant color you will definitely get noticed and stand out in a crowd in the best possible way. Wearing this gorgeous dress made me feel happy, confident and beautiful!

Gorgeous summery dress!

I ordered this at the last minute for a Friday evening wedding at a gorgeous outdoor garden. It's such a lovely dress! The 12 fits so well that I wore that instead of the 14 I'd planned on. I could even wear a regular bra with this and it has POCKETS!!! It's so lovely and comfortable!

Dress up or down

I love a dress that doesn’t require Spanx, and I can wear a regular bra. This sunshine cutie was perfect for a day at the office with white sneakers. But you could wear for a party with heals.

Test drive: SUCCESS!

Ordered this as a potential graduation dress in May. It is STUNNING! The fabric is light, the length is both size and age appropriate, and (as we all love) it has pockets. I am so happy with dress that I already ordered it for my ceremony!

You will never look better in yellow

So gorgeous and well fitted. I usually wear 18 but went up because there was no stretch and I wanted to be comfortable. I was comfortable and still looked cute!

Beautiful Bright Yellow Dress

I didn't end of wearing this dress, however I really did like it. Very easy and simple to wear. I only didn't because I wore one of my other options. Pockets and regular bra are a definite plus. Im 5'5" 148-150lbs. Mostly wear a size 8.

I loved the dress color, shape, anddd it had pockets!

The fit was a nice a-line and gives you a waist. It has pockets for your wallet or phone as well! I appreciated that you couldn’t even tell there were items in them and it made for a nice evening out in Chicago. I got numerous compliments on the color as well. My only critique would be that the arm holes were a bit snug. I have stronger arms and that was the only area that I wish was different. I’m 5 foot so the dress fell just below my knees. With heels it didn’t look too long.

Bright and Comfy

I rented this for a wedding with a "dress colorfully" dress code. This dress is fully lined and the material is high quality. It's very flattering. I wore size 10 but could have worn 8 if it was available. I added a belt to cinch in the waist. Would definitely rent it again.

Fantastic dress with pockets!

This was comfortable and very elegant. I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and got compliments all night. You could wear a regular bra and the pockets were such a plus. I typically can't wear yellow but this worked with a little extra makeup.

Perfect for a wedding!

I got so many compliments at the wedding I went to. Loved the color with blue accessories. Pockets were a bonus! The fabrics snags easily so I had to check the dress before wearing it for strings. I found a few I missed but nobody noticed.

This dress is the perfect pop of color for an outdoor wedding!!

I loved this dress! It is super comfortable and flattering in all of the best ways! I would have never chosen a yellow dress before now. But I am super glad I did. I received a ton of compliments and hate to have to send it back.

Gorgeous, feel like a million dollars dress!

After a stylist sizing snafu with my original dress, the customer service team came to the rescue with this stunner. The dress fit perfectly & the vibrant colors and pattern meant all I needed were earrings. I do recommend a strapless bra, though, as a regular bra would have shown on the sides & top. Even thought there is a snap to put a bra strap, it will not accommodate a wider strap. Could not have been more pleased with my first RTR experience!

Conservative dress that is still fun!

I'm 5'4", 119lbs, 32A and wore the 0. Sometimes I wear a 2 if it's tight through the butt and hips, but this was good in the 0. The pockets were great, dress is bright and cheerful but not crazy -I was going was going for ladylike at a traditional venue. Would rent again for a similar event. Wore with nude heels, white pearl earrings and bracelet.

Sunshine Yellow Dress with Pockets!

Overall I really liked this dress. The fit is very true to size. I needed a dress last minute so ran into the Chicago store and found this dress. The color is beautiful and vibrant as is the detail on the dress. I wore a 6 because that is all they had in the store, and it fit well enough. It was definitely big on me, I would have easily fit into a 4. The pockets are great and between the amount of material in the skirt and the pleats you can't tell if you have things in your pockets.

Great dress; fabric makes it more formal than I thought

This dress was beautiful; the fit is great, and the color is really fun. Works with a regular bra, and is a good length- not too short. I had rented the dress for a casual daytime event, though, and felt the fabric made it too dressy. It would be perfect for a wedding or other more formal event!

So different- love the pattern!!!

So I tried this on at Rent the Runway in Chicago and I LOVED it! .......so much that I had to rent it! I never wear yellow, since I'm usually pretty pale and it washes my skin tone out, but I loved the color on this dress! The pattern is so cute too, and this dress is nice and snug without being too restricting!

STYLIST REVIEW!

Beautiful dress. The color pops and the jacquard is lovely. This dress also has pockets so that's a plus. Dress do run small. Would recommend sizing up for for first size and up further for your backup. This dress has NO stretch.

Great color, classy look

I got a bunch of complements on this dress today! The color is bold and the style is classic. It was a little long for me, but it ended up looking good with heels. I'd recommend wearing a strapless bra...I kept having to push my bra straps in throughout the day

Loved this classic cut and bright color

Perfect for day time wedding and nighttime reception. Comfortable. Classic. And. #Pockets. Shoulder straps have little tabs to keep bra straps in place. I ended up wearing the smaller back up size 6. I think I could've worn a 4 ? But the 6 was great ! I received many compliments -I think it was the dress plus the RTR / kate space necklace duo !

Perfect spring work dress

I wore this dress for a work event, and the cut was so flattering. The yellow stands out in a sea of gray and black suits, but the cut is classic and formal. This dress has pockets!!! One issue I had was that jewelry and other things kept getting caught on the dress. I could see over time that the fabric would lose its quality. Great dress though, and I may buy it!

Bright and fun!

Carmen Marc Valvo designs a great dress for professional settings. The bright yellow is an awesome, vivid color but the fabric looks shinier on camera. The fabric texture gives the dress interesting dimension. The dress fits true to size but be careful if you're big chested b/c it's slightly tight in the chest and shoulders.

Amazing color!

This dress was perfect for a wedding. Narrow part hit at the true waist which gave your figure a great shape. It was long enough to not be nervous chasing my 4-year old around but not too long to look frumpy. I got a million compliments!

Fit perfectly. Was brand new, with tags to prove it! I am a high school teacher who had 20 students competing in a Junior League fashion challenge, and I needed a look of which the kids could be proud. Tons of compliments. And the pockets!
