Not Your Brown Basics

This brown gown is anything but basic. The color is rich and elegant, and the silhouette is incredibly flattering with beautiful movement. It feels timeless yet modern, and the fit is comfortable while still looking polished. Such a standout neutral piece that’s perfect for formal events or special occasions.

Operatic magic

Worn to the opera - tight enough on the bust that it didn’t need a bra! I will say that if my bust was any larger, I would’ve been spilling out, so size up if you’re chesty. For me, this was a winner for a night at the Met. Staud never fails me

Long but cool

It’s a great dress heavy cotton material with pockets. I sized up since I have big boobs and was able to wear without a bra. You can dress it up or wear casual. Very versatile

Like a glove!

So glad RTR has petite! This dress will allow me (5'2) to wear this with 2" heels and still have it hit the floor. The size 2 is certainly tight, but I feel snatched. This is going to be the perfect bridesmaids dress

Runs small, size up 1

Material attracts lint, heavy material, flowy and comfortable. Great brown color. Pleating is very flattering. Love the pockets. I’m 5”6 and have a 1” kitten heel on. The dress length doesn’t touch the floor but close. Adjustable straps.

Small in chest, but gorgeous

Ordering in another size, love this dress (planned for bridesmaid). Ordered an 8P and too tight in the chest, but no 10P as a size option. Hoping the 10R works, the size for the Petite was perfect.

Beautiful

Beautiful gown, stretchy thick material. I had to wear platform heels so the dress wouldn't drag. Flattering in the chest. The flare at the "waist" hit lower than my waist because of my short frame and torso so that part could have been more flattering if I were taller

Needed 2 sizes up

Absolutely stunning dress. Great length (I’m 5’9). Sadly I didn’t get to wear this — I would have needed to size up from a 6 (my usual size) to a 10 to accommodate my chest. The fabric does not have any stretch, but will make your waist look snatched.

Chocolate perfection

This dress is amazing- it even has pockets! The style is formal but the fabric is a thick cotton making it very versatile. It's well made and the draping of the skirt is perfect.

Wonderfully full, weighted, quality dress

This dress is so elegant and comfortable. I’m 5’1” and it hit the ground with heels, but it moves well so it was okay. It resembles a tennis dress. It cinches your waist, gives you a push-up bra support, then flows heavy at the bottom. I will definitely rent again.

Don’t hesitate to rent!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. I received so many compliments and felt so confident. The dress is very simple but cut beautifully. I paired with gold accents. I’m 5’6”, 138 pounds, 34D and the size 8 fit just right. It was the perfect length with 3” heels. This dress does not have stretch.
