I'm involved with a charity that requires conservative dress, skirt below the knee, a line, no cleavage, etc.. This dress fit the bill. There was a natural flow to this dress that made it perfect for ballroom dance practice. I wanted to keep it!

A simply beautiful dress. Wore to a charity event at a home - cut beautifully, looks classy, material is wonderful. 

This dress is AMAZING. Very flattering. The necklace is a little low. The skirt is FAB. It does snag on EVERYTHING so just be careful. I got LOTS of compliments.

Such a classy dress! This dress fit very true to size. It was fitted throughout the waist and hips and then flows out beautifully to about mid calf. The fabric is textured which gives the black dress a little extra.  You can wear it with any bra because the back doesnt dip too low.  Love the way it paired with nude heels. I would also suggest dressing it up with some statement pieces.

I didn't end up wearing this dress (it was an extra dress I ordered) but it was very pretty!

The dress and accessory were just like their descriptions and pics online.  No surprises.  The fit was perfect and the dress looked great!

 Wonder garment..neckline is low..may not be good for work or church..I threw on a sweater.fit and flare and extremely flattering.

Comfortable, flattering, and easy to wear. I wore this for an in-home cocktail party and felt great all night. I might have wanted lined undergarments in a more formal situation, but the dress doesn't need them.

Fabulous for a trip because it didn't wrinkle. Fit the body perfectly and the fabric is a knit that is very forgiving. The ballet length and the cut are super sophisticated. I dressed it up with animal print kitten heels and I wore it with ballet flats for a more casually elegant look. Can't say enough about it and I will probably rent it again.

I loved this dress. I wore it to a wedding in France. It's comfortable,  though  i did wear a slip: the material is woven and textured, and i was worried that it would be see-through in photos because of the big, slightly open weave.  Many compliments: the dress looks very grown up, classy, elegant. 

I wore this dress to the office, with flats and a jacket. This is my first RTR dress that inspired spontaneous date night. It is a sexy, sexy siren dress. Don't let the demure neckline in the photo and long hem fool you. 

This dress is perfect for an important meeting or event where you need to look super capable. It is flattering and very comfortable due to the jersey fabric. 

Oh boy! I would love to keep this dress if I can. I just love the way it moves with me.  Perfect in every way! 

It was pretty, but didn't look great paired with a jacket.  Very conservative. 

I received many compliments and felt good at the event. Nice drape, weight, and swing from the fabric as I moved. Comfortable. Other reviews commented on the loose neckline, but that is the most compelling design element; to fit properly, the bodice has to be a little snug/fitted to highlight contrast in that slightly draped neckline, which draws the eye toward the bust and away from some of my aging bumps. I was surprised to need the smaller of the sizes I ordered; however, the material is a loose knit and does stretch, so maybe that accounts for it. 

This dress is the perfectly flattering cut BUT I did need my full black slip under it simply for modesty as it is definitely see through but remained a little sexy with the silk slip under and didn't change the look of the dress at all.  I chose to wear my second choice simply based on the weather, it was quite a warm evening.  But would definitely rent this again!

I liked this dress. The fabric is thicker and 'spongier' than I anticipated, which makes it a little bit edgy. The quality of the fabric also gives the garment a shapeliness, so it stands slightly off the body, as if the skirt were being supported by a light crinoline. It's beautifully made. The cowl neckline is on the conservative side, and the shape of the dress (new look/fit-and-flair) make it appropriate for any sort of office situation. I only wore it once, with combat boots and a light cardigan. I'd describe this dress as smart and cute. My bust size is 34F.

The crochet material makes the dress stretchy for added comfort.  I am 5'3" and the length was perfect tea length.  You will need a black slip underneath since the loose woven material makes it slightly see through.

super comfy.  a little bit see through in the midsection. 

Something that the other photos don't do a good job of showing is that this material is see through. You definitely need a black slip to wear with this dress, unless you want to be exposed. Looks great on and is very comfy. For true to size and is long enough to wear to work.

I did not end up wearing the dress, but mainly because I didn't have the proper event.  It was a little too casual for everyday, and the material is not light (for summer outdoors), though it may have worked in the office with a jacket.  In general, it is a flattering cut that is fitted but skims the body.  A seem runs near but below the waste which was a little bit odd.

Crochet fabric means you have to wear a black slip.  This dress would have been better with a lining.  Ended up not wearing it at all.

I loved this dress but it made me look much older (which I don't mind at times) but I wouldn't recommend for someone who is in twenties. Also, the material is wonderful it's think yet light (if that makes any sense) but for me it did huge my problem areas and showed my stomach more than I wanted it to. 

This dress did not fit me well. The material was clingy and not in a good way. It was my mistake for renting for a formal affair since the material is actually very casual, but either way I did not care for the fit.
