Gorgeous fabric, gorgeous unique dress

This dress is the perfect example of why I started RTR. Not my usual style but super fun to try something new. The sleeves are truly puffed so do not think you'll smooth them down. Which means harder to wear any kind of sweater or jacket over it. I don't know if it runs big or I just picked the wrong size but I would have preferred one size down especially with the puffed sleeve look.

Great Shirt Dress

This is a beautiful shirt dress! The pattern is *gorgeous* and it looked great paired with powder blue accessories. For the actual retail price, I do wish it was a bit more structured / felt more flattering but overall I'd still recommend it.

Perfect conference dress

I thought this dress was perfect for a conference where I spoke on a panel. It’s conservative enough to be professional but still fun / different enough to stand out. Altuzarra never misses!

Favorite RTR dress

I really want to buy this dress but it's so expensive, so renting and saving up! Would I pay over $1,000 for it? No, but it's stunning and everyone that sees it loves it so much.

You can button it up or down on top. TTS - and a very classy pattern and flattering fit. This is truly something you can wear anywhere and dress up or down.

Perfectly fine work dress

The print on this is adorable, but I’m scratching my head at the price point on this one. It was perfectly fine, flattering, but nothing special. I’d order it again next spring and summer, but it isn’t my favorite.

Beautiful fabric, lots of compliments! RENT THIS

I wore the Paulina Dress with snakeskin flats to a dinner at a friend's home, and again to brunch at a nice restaurant with family, before heading to the plane home. I wore the attached self-belt wrapped, then tied in a square knot in the back. I don't like bows and long flappy ties at the waist, so this was an excellent alternative for me. The Gaia Shoulder Bag Roccia (Mansur Gavriel Accessories) went well.

Flattering and perfect fit. I wore it to picnics, dinner, and work on multiple occasions. I didn't want to take it off. People were giving me compliments left and right. Someone stopped me at the farmer's market and asked to take a picture.

Nice dress, needs ironing

I wore this dress several times to parties and events. One time it was cold and I wore a jean jacket over it and that worked well. It is high-quality and comfortable and a fun pattern, but it does need a little bit of ironing, not too much. I am tall, so the puffy sleeves looked fine.

Love dresses from this designer and this one didn't disappoint. TTS though it's on the longer side for a midi. It's the rich mom vibe and looked elegant with cream shoes and purse.
