Stylist Review
This dress is super cute and so flattering! But be prepared to MAJORLY size up. I typically wear a size 10 in dresses and I wore this in a size 14. Even in the 14, it was a little snug on the bottom. It is more fitted where the horizontal lines are. It's a really rich blue and the lace looks super high quality. I'll definitely be renting this for a semi-casual party or daytime date!

Comfortable! Fun, yet work appropriate.
Fit my hourglass figure wonderfully. However the buttons on the one I️ had were kind of loose and came undone which was a little embarrassing so I️ only wore it once.

Cute dress but size up if you have a larger bust.
Gorgeous dress and cute however girls with larger bustline should size up to prevent bunching at buttons. Should have rented the 6.

I wear a 10 or a 12 usually. I sized up in this to a 12 and it was perfect! The dress has zero give so if you are between sizes then size up. It's darling. I changed into heels for happy hour after work.

Very cute design!
This dress was adorable. As someone who loves a collar, this dress was great! Be warned that the buttons on the top of the dress do tend to pop open. It was almost as if the buttons were too small for the holes but it wasn't too big of an issue.

I didn't want to take it off!
This dress is incredible!! The lace is fantastic, the collar and buttons are fun, the fabric details at each layer are nice, the sleeves are longer then other dresses, and it is very comfortable. It is the perfect dress for the office. I paired it with the rose Eartha Iconic Backpack by Zac Zac Posen. I will rent this dress again.

Loved!
I loved this dress, I would buy it if I could. It was the perfect look for our country party and the fit was great. The material does not have give so if you are especially curvy it could give you trouble. I'm more narrow and it fit gray and gave me some curves! I will definitely be renting again

Stunning dress!
I've always loved Reese Witherspoon, and here's another reason to love her - her dress is awesome! My 12-year-old daughter wore this dress to a party, and she loved it. It fit her body like a glove, and she received so many compliments. It's classy and chic. PROS: Elegant but fun. Comfortable. CONS: NONE!

Adorably church appropriate
This was the perfect dress for Easter/Easter Vigil. I am usually a 6 but only the 8 was available. It ran slightly big on me but I think it's only because I am usually a size smaller- so I feel like this dress rubs to size. With classy pearl earrings and light pink flats this was perfect for church. In between the buttons on the collar the flaps definitely came up a little. Easily solved with fashion tape. I feel like this would be really cute to rent for work sometime too!

Flirty dress for date, weird puff
6.5/10 Cute dress. Wouldn't wear again though. There is a puff where the skirt starts which is way too low. I have a long torso and I still thought the waist started too low, so I cannot imagine on normal people.. skirt starts and puffs at middle of the bum and overall gives an awkward shape when seen from the side. It looks super cute in front tho! Oh and it runs small, I always get size 2 from RTR but this one I had trouble taking on and off.

Outside the box choice gets thumbs up!
Typically when I make some kind of "outside the box" clothing choice, my husband is the first to give his honest opinion. That happened with this Draper James dress. His initial reaction, "I don't really like that dress." I wore it anyway, & it actually worked out great! Got home, & the opinion had changed, "That looked better on TV than I thought it would!" This clearly had been rented a lot. Placket is a bit "over pressed," and there's a tear in the side lace. There's a side zipper, so don't try to force it on over your head!! Overall, it a cute dress, especially if you're looking for something different.

Compliments all day, but had to keep adjusting
This dress is beautiful, super nice material, and very dressy. However, it just fit overall funny. It kept scrounging around my love handles, the middle buttons kept bulging out (even though I don't have a large chest), and there is a part near my hips where the zipper ends that just bugles our

Super cute
I wore this to work, but it can definitely be dressed down. I would say it fits true to size, but if you're big busted then it's a little small up top. I had to safety pin between two different buttons to prevent them from gaping. It wasn't a big deal, and I still loved the dress!

Excited to try Reese Witherspoon's Brand
I have been excited to try Reese's Draper James line, but don't live near one of the two store locations, so RTR was the perfect way to try it! The quality of the lace fabric was nice, and I liked the fit of the skirt part. However, this dress was not made for busty girls, as the top buttons pulled and gaped open. I wore a tank underneath. I'm sure it would fit great on someone who doesn't have the button-up shirt issue that I often do! It was fun to try but I would not keep it

Beautiful Lace, Difficult Fit For Me
The color and lace are beautiful details. However , the dress was a bit small and stiff. The flair was too high and there were gaps in the bust area. I probably should've gone with a six. But it may have been too big. Without the jacket, I couldn't have worn it. I had to hide the flaws. Also, the side zipper was difficult. Despite all of this this, I dressed it up, owned the look for the day, and received compliments. Overall, a well made dress that is exquisite on the hanger. It's not the best choice for my figure.

Wore this to work. It's a flattering cut and comfortable. A spring dress. I received many compliments. One thing though, the buttons had a mind of their own. Thankfully I used Hollywood Tape because they came undone a few times during the day.

Feels like a prim and proper schoolgirl collar and placket meets a grown up lacy fabric and print.
I love the starchy white collar and placket, the navy translucent lacy fabric over the liner. The side zipper's nice, leaves a "clean" back.

I loved wearing this dress! It's super comfortable and looks adorable all buttoned up with a fun necklace. It runs a little big everywhere else but can be a little tight in the chest...I used double sided tape to keep it from gapping which worked perfectly! I got so many compliments when I wore this!

Beautiful but runs small!
Size up 1-2 sizes depending on your figure! My weight fluctuates a lot but right now I'm a true size 10 (5'2'', 157 lbs, hour glass, 34G). I wore a size 12 and it fit great! It pulled slightly at my chest but not gaping, and I didn't need to wear anything underneath. Material is beautiful and I have gotten lots of compliments on it! I think this would be flattering on most shapes, it accentuates waist, I'll definitely rent again!

RTR Team Review
Cute dress, great for daytime. Running on the smaller side, I'd recommend sizing up especially if you're a C cup or higher. My typical size 2 did fit me, but I am not at all busty. The arms were slightly tight in the shoulders and biceps. The fabric has zero stretch, so again not great for larger busts. Love the buttons and overall silhouette, looks great with slip ons or casual heels.

Does this dress make me look like Reese?
Saw this dress on Reese Witherspoon (my style inspo) and knew I had to try it. Super comfortable and cute for a lace dress - very every day. Only downside is it does the gapping thing that many buttondowns do.

First time with Draper James and impressed
Super cute dress as shown. Fairly true to size although I'm large chested (size F) so it had to be safety-pinned to keep it closed. Could have worn with a few buttons undone but lost the conservative look. The lace effect can make it work day or evening.

Navy lace makes the difference!
I really like this dress. It is TTS but a teensy bit narrow around the rib cage due to some seaming in that area. I thought the fabric of this dress made it unique. I wore with nude ankle strap block heel sandals - so cute! Received compliments from co-workers and I felt good in it. Unfortunately forgot to take a photo.

Wore this to the state capitol to testify on legislation. I buttoned all the way to the top which kept it conservative. This dress is preppy like many clothes from the label. I do feel it ran a touch small. It was snug. There is definitely no stretch. I have a small chest and felt it was busting a bit at the buttons. Something to consider. Otherwise loved it!
