Draper James

Dress arrived with tag!! Put it on and didn't mind the small amount of itch that comes with the fabric as the dress is so pretty...I sized up just in case and even a size up didn't zip with the side zipper... shoulders, sleeves, bust were no issue...but this dress is not meant for anyone with hips. I then put on a pair of Spanx as I was so desperate to make it fit...no go. There are two ribbons that create a tiered effect on the skirt but these ribbons create sausage rolls where there would otherwise be none. I am returning this dress, today, the day I received it because there's no chance of getting into...returning new with tags...bummed!

I rented this for work. The quality is excellent - beautiful fabric. Unfortunately, the horizontal lines across the skirt are very unflattering on my body, they seemed to add lumps. The bust was not a good fit. The buttons gapped, even though it wasn't particularly tight. I think this would be incredibly attractive on a more athletic figure for a feminine mod Twiggy look, but it didn't work for me.

I have been excited to try Reese's Draper James line, but don't live near one of the two store locations, so RTR was the perfect way to try it! The quality of the lace fabric was nice, and I liked the fit of the skirt part. However, this dress was not made for busty girls, as the top buttons pulled and gaped open. I wore a tank underneath. I'm sure it would fit great on someone who doesn't have the button-up shirt issue that I often do! It was fun to try but I would not keep it

Rented for a rehearsal dinner and was very excited to wear this dress. Unfortunately, it ran small, and did not remotely fit.

Super cute dress. Great transition from work to party. However I wasn't able to wear it. The lower part fit fine but the button holes on top gaped. Even with a not padded or lifting bra. If you are larger on top I would try sizing up. I ended up not wearing it.

Super cute dress as shown. Fairly true to size although I'm large chested (size F) so it had to be safety-pinned to keep it closed. Could have worn with a few buttons undone but lost the conservative look. The lace effect can make it work day or evening.

This was the perfect dress for Easter/Easter Vigil. I am usually a 6 but only the 8 was available. It ran slightly big on me but I think it's only because I am usually a size smaller- so I feel like this dress rubs to size. With classy pearl earrings and light pink flats this was perfect for church. In between the buttons on the collar the flaps definitely came up a little. Easily solved with fashion tape. I feel like this would be really cute to rent for work sometime too!

I love this dress but sadly couldn't wear it. There is absolutely no give to the fabric and unfortunately with my chest size, I couldn't button up the top without serious gapping. Even though it fit fine through the waist and hips. Definitely would only recommend this to girls with a smaller chest OR size up to account for that.

Very flattering cut and fun neckline.

The dress was cute, but I ultimately didn't end up wearing it because the bands on the dress made it not flare out as much (or be as A-line) as I thought it would.

Definitely size this one up. The waist is small, but it's also VERY small around the hips. The RTR photo makes it look like the skirt flares out a little below the waist, but oddly it does not. This dress would fit someone with a frame like Taylor Swift - thin, not any hint of hourglass or much shape at the butt or hip. It is very pretty lace and seems to be fairly well made. The invisible zipper on mine actually got stuck and pulled apart, and RTR sent me a replacement choice quickly. Wanted to love this but it was a miss for me.

This dress is so cute but it is cut horribly. I ordered 2 sizes up based on the other reviews saying it runs small, and boy does it run SMALL! My 32D bust barely fit in it, but the bottom of the dress has these layers that hugged my body like a sausage casing. I immediately sent this back without wearing it.

Glad I read the reviews and went a size up, because the bust would have otherwise gaped (I am 32 D). The waist was a bit large, but overall a good tradeoff. The zipper was really, really sticky so you may need help zipping and unzipping. No stretch or give in the fabric, so size accordingly.

I have an hour glass figure and saw that it ran small so I went up a size... should have gone up 2 sizes instead. Was not flattering so didn't even get to wear it.

The zipper malfunctioned unfortunately, but the dress is adorable. Have some double-sided tape ready for the top!

Saw this dress on Reese Witherspoon (my style inspo) and knew I had to try it. Super comfortable and cute for a lace dress - very every day. Only downside is it does the gapping thing that many buttondowns do.

This dress is super cute and so flattering! But be prepared to MAJORLY size up. I typically wear a size 10 in dresses and I wore this in a size 14. Even in the 14, it was a little snug on the bottom. It is more fitted where the horizontal lines are. It's a really rich blue and the lace looks super high quality. I'll definitely be renting this for a semi-casual party or daytime date!

the dress on the model looks like it poufs out just the right amount. That is not the case in person. If you have hips, just be aware that each of those lace panels fits differently, so it was almost creating bulges where I didn't have any! I purposely sized up based on other reviews, but this was just a miss for me.

I wanted to like it,, but this dress has such a weird fit. It didn't have the nice A-line shape like the model. It fit more like a polo-shirt dress. It also doesn't help that there are weird horizontal bands that mess with the bottom half of the dress. I ended up not wearing this dress out.

I'm normally a 10 and I ordered a 10. This dress did not even come close to zipping, the sleeves were too tight, and the buttons looked like they were going to pop. Super cute dress, but SIZE UP!

Cute dress, great for daytime. Running on the smaller side, I'd recommend sizing up especially if you're a C cup or higher. My typical size 2 did fit me, but I am not at all busty. The arms were slightly tight in the shoulders and biceps. The fabric has zero stretch, so again not great for larger busts. Love the buttons and overall silhouette, looks great with slip ons or casual heels.

Boy the fit is so off, if you have a little bit belly it will make you look like a sausage

Great fit but the buttons and buttonholes were loose. It was embarrassing when I flashed people.

I wore this to work, but it can definitely be dressed down. I would say it fits true to size, but if you're big busted then it's a little small up top. I had to safety pin between two different buttons to prevent them from gaping. It wasn't a big deal, and I still loved the dress!

Get 2 sizes up no matter what

Really great fit!

I wanted to love this dress. It is beautiful. However, the fit just below your hips is off. It's not an a-line like the picture would make you believe. It's actually dug into my hips while fitting my waist/being a little large on my waist. Sadly I would not suggest.

I received so many compliments. The fit was perfect.

I should have read the style and fit notes. I ordered my typical size 6, but couldn't zip it because it didn't fit around my 34D bust. It's a super cute dress and I would have loved to wear it, but I couldn't even zip it. Don't get this if you are a large bust.

I usually order a 4 or 6. I went with a 6 due to reading previous reviews. Fit perfectly! Long enough and conservative enough for work, but cute and fun enough to wear it out for happy hour. Highly recommend!

I rented this dress to wear to work I found it was tight in the arms and the zipper is an invisible zipper which makes it a little difficult to zip on my own so I did not wear it. I liked the concept though.

The lace and ribbon detail are all gorgeous. My only problem was that the entire thing was too long. The waist hit a few inches below my waist, creating a drop waist look. Also the collar was wrinkly and didn't lie flat. But the dress is very cute and I did get compliments at work, so it was a successful rental.

I got this in a 14, a size that is usually roomy or breathable on me. This was sooo tight it was almost inappropriate on me. Side zipper would not go u. This is more like a small 12 or a true 10. Very pretty though.

I've always loved Reese Witherspoon, and here's another reason to love her - her dress is awesome! My 12-year-old daughter wore this dress to a party, and she loved it. It fit her body like a glove, and she received so many compliments. It's classy and chic. PROS: Elegant but fun. Comfortable. CONS: NONE!

I loved this dress, I would buy it if I could. It was the perfect look for our country party and the fit was great. The material does not have give so if you are especially curvy it could give you trouble. I'm more narrow and it fit gray and gave me some curves! I will definitely be renting again

Fit my hourglass figure wonderfully. However the buttons on the one I️ had were kind of loose and came undone which was a little embarrassing so I️ only wore it once.

The dress fit great except the arms and back felt a bit tight. I considered keep it to wear but recieved another dress that fit way better (and was the same style). I don't have bigger arms or anything so seems like something was off with the dress. 5'2, 120, 32B.

Size up 1-2 sizes depending on your figure! My weight fluctuates a lot but right now I'm a true size 10 (5'2'', 157 lbs, hour glass, 34G). I wore a size 12 and it fit great! It pulled slightly at my chest but not gaping, and I didn't need to wear anything underneath. Material is beautiful and I have gotten lots of compliments on it! I think this would be flattering on most shapes, it accentuates waist, I'll definitely rent again!

love it! so comfortable, great structure and very charming

Too tight in arms. Even though it was roomy in the bust area, it still gaped where it buttons (weird). the lines/seams in skirt hit inconveniently enough in areas to accentuate any love handles. Also---entirely too short. and I'm almost 5'3. An 8 usually fits perfectly for my hips. A 10 would have been way too big. Unfortunately, a terrible fit for me,
