Great fit. True to size. Wore it as my Easter dress. Paired it with a pair of gold heels.

As other reviews have mentioned, it runs a little tight in the bust area so I'm glad I had a larger size to go with! Other than that, the dress was flattering, super comfortable, and I received so many compliments!!!!

I loved the way this dress fit. It was able to accommodate my heavy top without making me look heavy all over. The dress stretched in all the right places and the skirt flared out just right. The length was perfect above my knees. I looked and felt AMAZING in this dress. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Was worried it was going to be too short--it was above the knee but not too short! Got a ton of compliments--would rent again!

I rented this dress because I have unlimited but no more "special occasions" to attend. I wasn't initially sure where I would wear it but decided to dress it down with some sandals to an art exhibit. It was cute and I felt great in it. I then turned around and zipped it all the way up to make it appropriate for church, so it's very versatile. Paired with heels I could even imagine it for a day time wedding or something of that nature. It was slightly tight on me because my waist is the largest part of my body, but it fit well and zipped up easily. It does smash the bust down as others have indicated so for the more causal event, I left it slightly unzipped to provide a little shape. The length was not too long on me considering I'm only 5'1". The material makes it more on the dressy side than the casual side. I wouldn't recommend wearing it as a sundress or for super causal events, but paired with a sandal it was great for a few random occasions. I really liked it.

The pattern and dress was super cute. However, it is really short, and the waist is high. If you are tall - be warned. I am a little busty and I wore the 16W - which was really a 16 - and I should have gotten the 18. I used a sweater to cover up the tightness in the boobs. Overall got lots of compliments.

This dress is nice, I wore it to a rehearsal dinner , which was scheduled during a sever rainstorm (hence the boots). The dress was a little shorter then I would like (I guess due to my hips and backside) so I paired it with leggings. Other than that the only other complaint was there wasn't much room for my girls ....I'm a 42 DDD and zipped all the way it looks like my boobs are suffocating! So be prepared with a cami just in case.

I got the 16W as a backup and thank goodness I did, b/c when fully zipped, the 14W was too tight across the chest. The 16W fit my figure well, although it did pucker a bit across the chest at the armpits- the dress cuts in, but it fit well. I did wear Spanx underneath and once again, thank goodness I did b/c near the water it was a windy and the bottom poof of the dress kept wanting to fly up! All in all, it was a beautiful dress for the occasion and I simply wore gold hoop earrings and put my hair in an updo since there was so much pattern doing on with the dress.

I loved the color and the comfort. The lines made me look larger than my standard LBD. But it was nice to have color...

The dress looks really short on the model but it was perfect amount short on me. About half way up from my knee. I had to wear the size up but it fit well. Hugged me on top and gave me room on the bottom.

The fit was perfect, though it was somewhat spacious in the sleeves so my bra showed. Make sure you have the right bra. I'm on the shorter side at 5'4, but the length was perfect!

RTR sent this as an emergency backup dress when there was a shipping issue with my original order and I only had one size. Luckily, it fit me PERFECTLY. I wore the 14W and am 5'4", 200lbs and 38C. The waist/bust proportions were perfect on me but as other people have mentioned if you have a larger bust, you may have to size up because there is NO stretch in this dress. It has plenty of room for wider hips and was not quite as short on me as the model. I love that the zipper details adds a bit of edge to an other wise traditional/preppy style. The darker blocks are navy blue, not black.

Love love love this casual dtess! Plus size ladies, a "W" size is not indeed a "W" (I ordered a 14W and got a 14). This dress fits like a glove and my husband adored it! The zipper is a cute touch. I have a large chest (36DDD) and while it was a bit snug, the gals weren't smooshed and it didn't look at all awkward. I'll be renting this one again in the summer!

the fit was absolutely perfect. I want to buy the dress

This dress was perfect for the wedding I went to. It was not too casual but not too dressy which is exactly what I needed! I will definitely rent this dress again!

Very stylish and cute design. They didn't have a regular 14 left so I tried this in a 14w. The horizontal stripes on the top of the skirt emphasized the waist of the dress, which was too big on me. The arm holes were also too large and gapped even with 34F/36DD. So overall, the dress looked too tent-like, however, had I been able to try a smaller size I think I would have liked this dress.

I wore this dress for an engagement party when my original dress was unavailable. It's cute and comfortable but desperately feels like it needs pockets. I don't know how many times I tried to stick my hands in pockets that don't exist. My only complaint is that the flare out is quite dramatic and I felt like it made me "hippier" than I am. It was a bit tight in the bust and I ended up wearing a sport bra (classy!) to keep the girls down.

did not like how it poofed out so much on the bottom

This is a really adorable dress and I am so disappointed that I couldn't wear it for my occasion. This dress is not meant for a large bust, there is absolutely no stretch on the material and on me it looked like my breasts were being smothered. If you have a small bust I would definitely recommend but if you have a larger bust I would order a size up or avoid all together.

I ordered this dress for a wedding in a rural location. Unfortunately, by the time I ordered it there were no back up sizes available. The dress has no stretch/give and was too small for my DDD bust. I ended up wearing a black tank under it and leaving it partially unzipped. While that made me really self-conscious, I did get a number of compliments and my friend thought I was wearing it up open intentionally.
