Rehearsal day dress

Wore this for my rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. SO comfortable. You'll want it to fit snugly as the fabric around the waist can look bulky. I'm 5'9 so i liked the length. The v was too deep so I pinned it. A perfect dress for the day!

Fun dress, thick fabric

Fun dress. The fabric is thicker, that was good because I didn't feel like it was see through. The wrapping around the middle hides your tummy, which was good because we definitely had a big dinner. The cut was very low and I did not fill out the top, I'm between a B or C cup. I did have to pin the chest closed a little bit due to gapping. The waist was right considering how open the top was. If you have big boobs (D or bigger) and a small waist, I feel like this would probably fit well.

Beautiful design

Loved the dress design and fit. The softness of the fabric made a good fit and was not translucent. However, the color of the fabric looked percussed. There were several other people wearing white at the event and the color of my dressed did not looked as nice as I would like it to.

Perfect for vacation

Slimming in the right places! Really cute and surprisingly comfortable. You have to watch your posture if you go brakes. Worth it! Loved it.

I wore this dress for my bridal shower and it was absolutely perfect!

This dress fit true to size. I needed a small pin to hold together the top but other than that it fit perfect. The material was thick and laid nicely on the bottom. I recommend this dress to anyone!

Beautiful white dress!

This fit slightly large relative to other Carven dresses I've rented. The material is textured, which I did not realize in the pictures initially. Unique dress that was fun to wear! I did not have issues with the V-neck being too deep or revealing. Length was appropriate for taller girls!

Rented for Diner en Blanc. Fit was great and worked well for my shape (narrow waist and wide hips). Material gapes at the chest. I wore a full coverage basic white bra.

Very comfortable and light dress!

It was very breathable on a hot day in July for my bridal shower! I am 5'8 and this was long enough to be comfortable.

RTR Team Review

This classy white Carven dress is great for a daytime event or less formal cocktail party. Running true to size, I'd recommend sizing up for backup if you're curvier and down if you're smaller framed. The bust has plenty of room and is great for all cup sizes. The waist is slightly fitted at the natural waist, and hips have room/are comfortable. The material is thicker and the cut allows for you to wear a bra. At 5'7" the length hit at about mid-thigh. Great with nude heels and delicate jewelry.

Lots of fabric

Love the style and the fabric of this dress- the slight texture makes it really unique and I love the waist detail. However, while it fit me perfectly, there was just a ton of fabric. It made my waist and hips look way larger than they are. I also safety pinned the chest area closed-- probably wouldn't have been ok for work. Lovely dress, but maybe not the most flattering for curves

Wore for my bridal shower!

The chest is a little low, so I would suggest going bra-less or wearing a bandeau! The waist is tight and very true to size. Full skirt and flirty ruffles - I got so many compliments!

Too low cut

No clue how anyone has worn this with a bra. It was far too low cut for my work event. However, the debris is a beautiful thickness and not see-through at all. If you don't mind the low cut you should rent

Cute dress for my Bridal Shower

Skirt was fuller than expected and it was low cut. I don't have much of a chest so I used some fashion tape to keep anything from poking out when I bent over. It was a comfortable material but because of the low cut I did not feel completely comfortable all day. Looks great in photos but I felt like I was adjusting myself every hour or so.

Meh

The top does not fit properly, not sure if it was just this dress or my small chest. The waist was also snug (and I have a small waist). If you have a small waist and large chest this might be for you? Unfortunately, this did nothing for me.

Lots of fabric but cute

I rented this for my bridal shower. It worked fine, the fit was a smidge awkward. It fits true to size but getting it over the hips was a little tricky as there's no stretch and I have no hips (the zipper should just come down further)! There is a lot of fabric and it's pretty thick. The bust area was gaping so I had to pin it. Overall it worked well for a daytime shower, but i don't know that it's the most flattering - think it added a few pounds!

I wore this to my wedding tasting. Though true to size, there was more fabric than I was expecting.

If I would have seen this in the store, I probably would have passed on it. The voluminous fabric, I felt, was not very flattering. I'm not sure it photographs well as it makes me look bigger than I am. It did grow on me though, just wasn't exactly what I was expecting from the picture.

Great fabric - but very busty dress.

This dress has great fabric and movement, but it has an extremely, very low cut bust which makes this a perfect night out dress. Unfortunately I rented for a work presentation and so I paired it with a scarf and blazer to prevent flashing the girls to anyone.

Wore this for a bachelorette night out. It looked great but the fit is weird - the inner lining was soooo tight so I just left it unhooked.

Very large dress for its size. Made for very busty women.

This dress runs large in the bust and a little large in the waist. More suitable for very busty women with a small waist.

Very flattering.

It's very low in the front. So a deep V bra or no bra is necessary.

This dress was very comfortable and flattering! I wore it for my graduation and it was a hit!

The fit was very flattering, but perhaps better for women with a fuller bust. I had to pin the top together as it was coming apart too much, but it worked great with a pin in it. The waist was a tad tight but overall the fit was great! The white fabric is really soft and pretty. Great dress for a daytime event!

LOTS of cleavage! I had to buy a special bra but overall it was a flattering fit.

The dress overall, is a little too long on the shoulders and the back if you are petite.

I love the simplicity of this dress BUT it made me look like if I had a belly, which I don't have one. Perhaps I should have gone down in size.

great dress

i'm typically a 4, but sized up since there was no give at the waist and i have a large waist. turns out i shldve stuck w the size 4! there's a decent amount of room at the waist despite there being no size. the front was completely open w the 6 so the 4 wldve likely helped that, but i bet i wldve still needed a cami. it's a big fluffy in the front and the fabric is thicker, but i don't believe it make me look larger. it was soft and didn't wrinkle easily.

Not flattering

Too much fabric. A thicker, almost quilt material that did not seem summer like at all. And I could barely get it over my head, much less over my hips. The waist is cut very tiny and has zero forgiveness.

It was a fluffy material and was tight with no give around the rib cage. Not my favorite.

I should have maybe ordered a size up but I didn’t realize there was no elasticity in the rib cage. I’m a 32DDD so it pulled at the front. I think it’s a better dress for someone with a modest size chest. My husband is a complementary person and he even thought it was a bit too fluffy and didn’t fit me very well.

Looks beautiful on the model but pretty frumpy I felt in person.

The material is much thicker than it looks. For hourglass figures it definitely makes your waist look bigger than it is..

What are you supposed to do with your boobs?

The dress fit nicely in the waist but then gaped widely at the bust. Where was I supposed to put them? Not intended for DDs.
