Fit and color were spot on! My only critique is that I personally would’ve preferred it a bit shorter. It felt a little more mature and less playful than I hoped.

Beautiful rich color! Tie straps allow for flexibility in chest size. Easily accommodated 28 week bump! 

I am not 100% sure if the dress is true to size or a little on the small side, in the photo I am 30 weeks pregnant and in turn about 35 lbs heavier than normal.. I chose this dress in hopes that the straps being adjustable would make fitting a little easier. The front is a little low, I felt like I was pulling it up the entire evening. And the ties on the dress itself were very long, so I was constantly feeling like either a bug was on me or the dang things came undone. The dress is GORGEOUS. Light, flowy, and the perfect choice for a hot summer day!

I loved this dress!! The color is beautiful. I wore it for my cousin's engagement party outdoors and never showed any sweat marks or anything despite it being hot and humid out. Super easy to dance in too. Only con is that the V is a pretty steep V. As a smaller chested lady I had to pin my dress for it to fit well. 

I got the XS and the S but wore the S. I weigh a little under 130lbs. XS wasn't tight but I liked the fit of the S better. Totally would rent again! 

The burnt orange color is perfect. It is so flattering and comfortable. I got lots of compliments and felt comfortable all night! It is also a very forgiving dress. Highly recommend for anytime of year! 

Maybe I needed a smaller size, but the top of this dress is extremely problematic. It was a nice dress and I got compliments, but as you can see from the photo, it just did not look good on me. I'm small-chested, but even that aside, I think the top of this is way too large and poses big nip slip danger. With the way it's cut and the way the fabric crosses over itself at the bust, I would have had to tie the straps so tight they were cutting into my armpits if I wanted to avoid gaping. It made me really uncomfortable all night and I had to keep adjusting. Would NOT recommend.

This worked out perfect for a rehearsal dinner I went to recently. Only problem I had was when I went to put it on, the garment tape from whoever wore it previous was still on the dress, causing the front to stuck to the back. But I removed it and the dress looked great! Lots of compliments. 

Wore to a wedding and it was such a beautiful dress. Great to dance in! The only thing was I'm petite and it was a little big on the chest area but it wasn't too uncomfortable or annoying 

Rented this for a semi-formal October wedding and will 100% rent again! It hit right below my knees (I'm 5'9") and flows beautifully. Can easily dress it up or down with jewelry and shoes. I switched from a pashmina to a jean jacket later in the night and it looked great in both!

The only slight con is the cut in the front. I'm not well-endowed and I felt like I was adjusting the front a bit more than usual. Overall, not a huge deal and it would not deter me from ordering again for sure.

Need a safety pin in the chest area but otherwise was a great dress for a guest at an outdoor summer wedding. Very breathable!

The dress itself is very beautiful! The color was perfect for a fall wedding! The only thing is the top is not bust friendly. I wore a strapless bra but the material did show the lining of the bra a bit. Otherwise, the dress was a success! I got lots of compliments! 

The color was nice! The dress was difficult to wear with a bra because it was so low cut but it showed way too much chest without a bra. The length was longer then expected, it came past my knees. Overall the dress made me look way bigger then I am. 

Overall too big. I'm a small/medium in most dresses but the small was just big everywhere. The bust was gaping no matter how much I shortened the straps (so tight that the arm holes were a little small). I taped the dress to my bra but you can still see it in several pictures. The waist band was no where close to my body. I could have worn an XS I guess. I didn't like this one at all though. 

Had to tack the neckline together because of it being so low cut, but overall very comfortable and cute!

I really liked this dress, it was comfortable and easy to move it. A lot of the reviews say the top ran big with the adjustable straps but I actually had the opposite issue. I had to size up because of the top, and while the straps were adjustable I couldn't seem to get them just right. All in all I really liked it though and I'd rent again

Lots of compliments on this one! However for me, the top kept shifting showing my strapless bra. I tightened the straps but then it was uncomfortable under the arms.
I loved the length but just wish the top stayed put!

This was a second option for a wedding I was going to - I ended up wearing the other dress and wore this to a baby shower. The baby shower was a bit more casual so I wore a striped shirt tied in a knot at my waist over it. Everyone love it! I got so many compliments! My only regret is that I didn't get to wear it as a dress - the neck line and ties at the shoulder are beautiful!

Rented for my daughter for a wedding. Great for her to dance in all night. Gave it three stars because it needs a clasp in the front to keep bra from showing.

The first time I tried the dress on, I wasn't crazy about how the top fit. There was some awkward sagging/cupping from the material. I changed my bra and it made all the difference! 

This was my backup for a wedding and I'm glad I chose it because I loved the way it fit on me. I was able to wear a regular bra underneath, even with how low cut the front was. Lots of compliments!

Cute simple dress, nothing overly special but was good for a casual reception.  Fit was true to size.

This felt nice on but it looked frumpy in photos and was maybe a bit too low cut for my large chest. I also found the ties quite hard to get right.
Pretty colour and I'm sure it would look amazing on the right person

Loved this dress and enjoyed wearing it! The adjustable straps and double knotting the ties helped to provide the best fit on top!

This runs a little bit big, but still fit. The straps are adjustable, so I just tied them very tight. I needed a pin to secure the top (very very roomy - I'm a 32A). The color is really beautiful and the pleated skirt is so pretty. I felt like this needed a belt to provide some definition. I liked the length on me (5'2"), a little past mid-calf. This dress was really light and breezy! I got compliments on how floaty and pretty the skirt portion in particular looked. I wound up wearing this to work with a cropped cream blazer, a belt at the waist, and nude pumps. 

I'm usually a 6 or 8 (5'11" 160lbs 34DDD) and the medium was perfect. Straps tie at shoulder so you can adjust it. I felt the need to make mine tighter to cover the cleavage which did feel a little tight in the armpit but not too bothersome. Wore to my aunts wedding and reception and it was comfortable to eat and dance in. Kind of thick for a 90 degree day with multiple layers in the skirt, but no slip or spanx needed. 

Only con was that I felt like I had to keep pulling the chest in so my bra or too much cleavage wouldn't show. I should've safety pinned it but didn't realize until I was at the event. 

It fit great, but a warning for ladies with large chests (like myself), it was a bit low cut. 

Loved this dress, it was the perfect  length and  the color was amazing! Great for a smaller chested gal.

Be careful of the bust line if you are above a B cup

This dress was so cute! But it was a bit big. I had to tie to straps as tight as they would go. It was perfect for my event but definitely runs large. I got so many compliments though! 

The dress fit great.  Flattering.  I felt very comfortable in it.  I did use double sided tape after reading previous reviews and it worked great.  I got lots of compliments!

The dress is very pretty and fits well over a bump. But it's super low cut so I had to really keep an eye on it to make sure my bra wasn't poking out. I think two sided tape would have really helped 

The fit was true to size! It is great that you can adjust the straps to tighten up breast area. I new that from previous reviews. Loved the tea length of the dress. The material was smooth and didn't bunch up. Skirt had a nice swing. It was very comfortable to wear. 

Perfect to dress up or down. The dress was a little loose in the top/waist band, but I'm small chested. 

I rented this for an awards banquet at The University of Texas, and it was the perfect shade of burnt orange to show my school spirit! The pleated skirt was great and very forgiving, had excellent flow; but like many reviewers have already noted, the top is VERY low cut and requires double-sided tape to keep it shut. Even with tape, the bottom breast panel (for the left side) kept doing this weird "cupping" thing on my boob that made me super self-conscious; luckily I was able to put my nametag over it to cover it up. I probably wouldn't rent again because of how self-conscious this dress made me, but for a quick dinner and a few photos, it did the trick.

The straps are adjustable and the waistband is elastic so it makes it really easy to get a good fit. 

I loved this dress. It was comfortable and adjustable, but formal enough to wear to a formal-ish wedding! The only downside is that, as someone with a smaller chest, I couldn't quite keep the top up and prevent my bra from hanging out, especially while dancing (see photo). If I had prepared with fashion tape or something, I'm sure it wouldn't have been an issue. You can adjust the straps to fit better, so this is an option too. The dress was longer than I expected by the photo, just below the knee, but it was a nice look. And perfect burnt-orange color for a late summer wedding!

The color was lovely and the fabric was sun and comfy. The top fit weird so I had to wear a sleep bra underneath and was pulling at it all night because of the way it laid. The straps also didn't help and hung in an awkward way so I threw in a jacket. Not my favorite RTR. 

Worn this to an October rehearsal dinner. The color is fun although l bet it would look better on a girl who's not so pale and blonde. The straps needed some adjusting, but it was easy to wear. Fashion tape would have been very helpful as the low v neckline didn't cover up bra well. 

I loved this dress so much!  & got so many compliments from a wedding. Having a dress tape is needed for anyone with a smaller bust like myself! I definitely would rent again
