Didn't realize I'd like this so much!
This is definitely not a piece for a casual day, but that's why I liked it! It's something out of my comfort zone, but still a fit and flare style that I like! I'd call this dress Medieval-Chic! The tie-details were super cute and I loved how the collar on the dress was slightly raised. It's an overall true to size piece, but if you are unsure you can size up. I'd say it's a good fit on most bust sizes and having a flare hem works great for wider hips. If you are looking for something different from your normal clothing routine, try this!

Very flattering. Would rent again
This dress is a great representation of why I love RTR. It would be impossible to list all the details. A tuck here, a loop there.. and the fabric. WOW. Fits like a dream.

Perfect for making a statement
This dress is truly spectacular: the details, the fabric, the execution are all fantastic. I wore it on a date to a broadway musical, and received quite a few compliments. The dress is a statement piece, and a well designed one at that. My only qualm is that the RTR US size listing is inaccurate. I’d recommend sizing down one. For example, I typically wear a size 8 in US brands, ordered the RTR US 8 equivalent, and ended up with a 40, which was much too large. However, the dress was proportionally too large all around, and I could tell that the fit would have been perfect had I ordered a size 38. Alas, next time!

I wore this dress for work, ended up going out afterwards. I felt incredibly sexy in this dress.
Absolutely gorgeous dress! After you get it on-- which is a bit challenging if you have relatively large breasts, heads up. The only zipper is in the back, and the bodice is very fitted. It was comically difficult to get on, either way. Hips were too thick, my chest was too large, haha. However, once you do get it on, SO FLATTERING. Also super super wonderful dress for women without much in the way of a backside, the fit creates the illusion you have something going on back there. Even if like me, you totally, totally don't, haha.

Flattering but nowhere to where it
This was flattering enough when I tried it on in-store that I decided to rent it, but I ultimately didn't wear it. The fabric is very nice and it's flattering, but it felt both too casual for work (esp with the allusions to a corset) and too thick/nice to wear out necessarily. Gave it back without wearing.

Deeply weird but very fun
This would make a great sexy nurse outfit. I wore it to a "Red Hot" themed party and loved it. Has tiny pockets, but any pockets are a pro!

It's too low-cut for work, so I wore a cami underneath. Otherwise, this is such a comfortable, flattering dress with fun unique details from ruching at the waist, lacing at the bodice, and the "twists" at the shoulders. Probably could have gone a size smaller, but the waist is always my concern. Plenty roomy, and may even be considered to run a bit large.

The absolute perfect dress The detailing was exquisite.
Fit true to size. Covers a small pooch. Comfortable and trendy dress. Compliments galore. A little short, if that is important to you. I thought it added to the dress

Gorgeous dress, too big
This is a weird one, occasion-wise. It's a high quality dress- gorgeous fabric and details, perfect length on my tall frame. It's tough to figure out where exactly I'd wear it, since it's so low cut. Ultimately the smallest size was just too loose, I had a good couple inches on each side. I could see how flattering it would have been if it fit closer- for reference I have about a 26 inch waist and 36 inch hips. Sad to send it back immediately- if there was a smaller option I would have exchanged it!

Really stunning + festive dress. I wore it to work, but I was told by everyone in the office that I should have worn it to the office Christmas party. A little boobalicious for those of us with sizable twins, but super cute!

Fit very comfortably. A little short for a work environment. Was glad I wore black opaque tights and booties with it.

I really wanted to like this dress! But the details were giving Peter Pan vibes and it just wasn't right. The top is also oversized and I was kind of drowning in it

Beautiful color and style
I ordered this a part of my unlimited with no idea where I'd wear such a flouncy concoction. Eventually wore it out to dinner with friends. But it really made me look hefty, added lbs. I think this style would work better for a size 6 or smaller. Be aware this is really low cut. I had to wear a cami under it to make it decent.
