Simple, Elegant, Classic Look
I actually purchased this dress during a RTR sale. I love this dress! It is well made, the fabric has a heaviness to it that allows the dress to hang well. I was concerned about the length, fearing that it would be too short, but the dress was perfect, hitting just above the knee. The back shoulder bow adds a flattering detail, setting this dress apart from other shift style dresses. I can't wait to wear it again!

Beautiful and Comfortable
Loved this dress. It was perfect for the cocktail attire wedding. The royal blue color is amazing and was so comfortable. The chest and shoulder area was a bit large for me. The fabric is a knit with a good amount of stretch. The 10 fit well besides room in the chest, the 12 was huge.

RTR Team Review
Simple yet what an eye-catcher! The embellished bow on the right shoulder draping over the back is a beautiful accentuation to the dress and I received many compliments. I personally wear a size 2 and always order a 4 as my backup, however for this particular dress I wish I chose a size 0. Being it’s a shift dress and does run true to size, if you’re like me and enjoy a form fitted dress, I recommend sizing down, but if you aren’t and prefer a looser look, I recommend sizing up. For my size I also have a larger bust but I was more than comfortable and wore with a standard bra. I was a little nervous my straps would show with the v-neck back but it worked out great. The fabric overall has some stretch and is more than comfortable around the hips and waist, also resulting in being bump friendly. This dress is perfectly elegant and can be worn to a wedding or a party and may be styled with a statement bag, a silver or gold choker necklace, bangles, long earrings and nude heels.

Stylist Review
Such a great go-to dress. I suggest going up for your backup. The fabric has a little stretch, so works for all body types, including some small baby bumps. The dress is also standard bra friendly, and the color is a rich, deep royal blue. The overall fit of the dress is very relaxed and comfortable to wear all night! Pair with some fun heels and a bracelet to finish the look.

Runs big
I did love this dress! The only issue I had is that it runs quite large. I am usually a size 4 and wanted to get a 2 as a backup but it wasn't available. The 4 looked like a potato sack on me but I added a belt and it looked great! I feel like I almost could have fit in a 0 but it probably would have been too short. I still give this dress 4 stars and would definitely rent again! It was perfect for a wedding over the 4th of July weekend!

Classy & cute!
This dress was perfect for a formal work event - fairly conservative but the bow added a little fun. I tried to make more youthful with some strappy heels. If I did it again I might belt for added shape (but that may have been overkill with the bow). Liked it!

Beautiful dress! I love the detailing on the shoulder.
I love this dress! It was bit boxy so not as flattering as I hoped it would be and a bit tight in the bust but it was comfortable and I felt good in it.

Rented for a wedding
The dress was a good quality. I feel like it is meant for an older crowd or a business event. I think it is the sash that hangs in the back. I wouldn't describe it as cute. It wasn't super low cut and it went just above me knees. There isn't much give to the dress but there is plenty of room for your thighs and butt to fit. I was also 4 months pregnant when I wore it and there was plenty of room for my belly.

Flattering and fun!
This dress was sent to me as a back up because the one I originally rented was not available. The top was really baggy. I'm a B cup, so I'm not really top heavy, but I've got a booty, so that part was okay. The length was nice. I didn't really like the sash on the back. I felt it was a little unnecessary, but I did like the bow on the shoulder. The sash reminded me of a small cape and it made me feel a little matronly. I did like the back, though. I'm not sure I would order this again, but it worked out nice for the back up. I got a lot of compliments on it.

Classic with a twist, just like I want!
I loved this dress-the color, fit, everything. The only downside was that it runs rather large, so even the smaller size was slightly big on me. I usually wear a 4 in standard retailers, so a 6/8 in designer, but I likely could have even worn a 2 here. It was still super cute and flattering regardless!

I received so many compliments on this dress. It is simple, but elegant.
The dress fits very loosely in the bust area. The size 14 was loose all over and baggy looking, so I wore the size 12 which was a bit more flattering. This dress could be dressed up or down depending on shoes and accessories. I wore it out to dinner for my 56th birthday. I also wore it to church. I felt equally comfortable in both places. I am 5'8"and the dress did fall slightly above the knees. I would consider purchasing this dress.

Pretty color but very boxy
I wore this for a date. like the reviews say it is very boxy so you may want to size down. the color is great and it was comfortable. I liked the bow on the shoulder but thought the sash was unnecessary.

Great color!
beautiful color and subtle bow make this dress the perfect "go to" dress for a wedding. You can add a statement shoe or jewelry and it doesn't take away from the dress. This dress is not form fitting, fits more like a sheath, but is great for larger chested ladies and you can wear a normal bra with it. Only downside, the shoulders fell down once or twice, but with some fashion tape this could be instantly fixed.

Great and easy dress for a night out.
This dress was a life saver. It runs large so I would suggest sizing down. The color is a vibrant great color that doesn't need much to stand on its own. The sash adds a fancier flair to the overall look and its a unique part of the dress that a lot of people commented on. The dress is comfortable as its a shift so its really forgiving. I almost didn't need to wear any Spanx but did for a smoother look. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I wore this dress in the Texas heat and it was a little warm.

Cute dress
Wore this dress to a friend's wedding. The dress did run big and the straps kept on falling off my shoulders. the sash was a cute touch aesthetically but did get caught on things a few times.

Runs large and Conservative Look
Pros: Nice material, and a beautiful color, you can size down! Cons: perhaps because it ran large, it made me look larger than a shift should, and more like mother-of-the-bride. Actually a great dress for an older woman with no arm issues! Great customer service however, so I do applaud RTR for making this delivery possible. Just bummed i didn't take the leap with a sassier look.

Great color, terrible fit.
I really wanted to like this dress! I wore this to an engagement part and was going for a twist on a classic cut dress. The chest ran so big that the top fell off of my shoulders which led to an odd sag of fabric under my cleavage. The dress was also incredibly tight around my hips, overall very unflattering.
