Absolutely love this dress! Such a beautiful pattern and classy fit. I wore to a cocktail reception during a work conference in Miami. Was slightly snug on the chest, but I'm a 32C (sometimes D) so not sure if everyone had this problem. Overall great rental and would consider purchasing!

Me: 5'2", 32E, 150lbs, wide hips, smaller waist, self conscious of belly

Pros:
- beautiful pattern
- can be dressed up or down 
- flattering fit/flare cut with white belt
- nice length for shorties: hit 2" above knee
- lace cutouts are subtle
- flutter sleeves flattering if you feel self conscious about upper arms

Cons:
- you can't tell in this photo but the buttons gaped and pulled so much that I couldn't wear it. I'm 32E and was wearing a lined bra but without any padding. 

Sweet, chic, dress with great shoulder details. Wore with X back bra to prevent bra from being seen through very delicate lace on shoulders. Easy to dress down for brunch or dress up for work 

This dress was PERFECT for my petite self...except for the bust. I literally busted (okay, done with that pun) out of the top when standing and sitting. If I would've sized up, then the rest of the dress would've been too big. 

I usually wear size 6, but I chose to wear the 8 due to button down and my chest size. I also had my own blue bow belt that matched perfectly with this. So many compliments:)

13 year old dtr wore it for Easter Sunday, so only worn for a short time.  Since the material is silk it's a bit less casual in appearance than the RTR photo, IMO.  Paired it with some polk-a-dot hosiery and a navy ballet flat.  I thought it was perfect for church.  The 4 fit well - she's about 5'2" 110? and 32D, if her chest was broader it would've been too small.

I LOVED this dress and got so many complements. I wore it for our big company trade show and it was comfortable to move around in all day. The sleeves are flouncy so not tight like some cap sleeve dresses can be which was nice because it covered my tattoo. 
The shoulder is lace so make sure you have a nude or strapless bra. Wear a smooth bra because lace could make the dress look bumpy. I had a little bit of gaping so should probably wear a cami under.
I wore gold oxford shoes with it during the day and beige pumps for dinner.

I like the little details on this dress. Good dress for everyday or work.

Loved the pockets. Buttonholes were not very snug and a few buttons popped open on me but luckily I had already pinned it near my bust since there was definitely gaping. The lace shoulder is such a cute detail I'd recommend a strapless bra. 

Overall adorable pick, perfect for a summer day affair. Lace shoulders and sleeves add a flirty touch. Only down side is that it is tight across chest and waste and  the buttons are a bit slippery - be careful or use a pin. 

I rented this in my normal size and it felt much too small. The dress had a lot of gaping in both the buttons and the pockets and it was pretty unflattering. The last Draper James dress I wore was a 2 but should have sized up to a 4 in this one. It is unique and fun so I would consider renting it again to see if the 4 would work.


I rented this dress for work and felt great in it. It is most fitted in the waist area but plenty of room in the hips as arms. I struggled with this dress  because even though it was not right, the buttons kept popping open. I wore a full slip underneath and was so glad I did as it came unbutton in the skirt more than once during work meetings.  This is not the first time I've had that problem with a rented full button up dress, and suspect it is just due to repeated wear. 

Beautiful, light fabric with darling lace detail on the shoulders. I wore this to my wedding shower, but would wear to a dinner or daytime shindig.

I would say that this dress runs a tad small if you're curvy. It's snug in the chest and pulled a little at the hips. That being said, I love the light fabric and delicate lace on the shoulder panels. The dress is lined so it's not see through. The waist is flattering, and the pockets are a nice bonus! I'm 5'3 and felt that the length was fine for work, but it might be a bit short for taller girls. Overall, loved it!

Very nice dress. The sleeves are a bit floaty, and the waistline is a little big on me, but it's comfortable. I like the length - a bit above the knee. Pretty pattern. 

This dress was my first RTR dress, and I know I'll be re-renting it in the future.  Both curve-friendly and curve-flattering, it's a win-win. I will say that if I were any larger in the chest, I think I would have needed to size up to prevent pulling/gapping at the top buttons.

Not my usual style, but it very pretty silk dress, may be have school look a like or proper housewife.... lol
Don't wear out on windy day, its fly ! It nicely made , it fitted at the waist, buttons was hidden & stay put . We rented for a work & it was comfortable & easy to move all day

I rented this to give a presentation. It fit very true to size and was light and airy. I got lost on the way to present and started sweating, but this dress didn't show it! I loved it and was sad to send it back.

This dress fit me well. The button around the waist puckered out a bit but not because it was too tight. The buttons on the top came undone when I walked to my car to leave for work. To be safe, I added a thin leather belt and an undershirt, but I didn't have any problems the rest of the day. 

Dress fit my curvy frame perfectly. Lace at shoulders makes it special. Accommodated my large bust. The ribbon trim at waist is a nice finish. Very easy to wear and doesn't wrinkle. 

Loved this dress. The sleeves were amazing which you can't see in the pic. Unfortunately it was freezing the day of my bday so I didn't get to use this dress as I would have liked. Would be very cute for work, a shower, or a casual day party. 

Fit was as expected, the material is lightweight and the lace details on the shoulder are super cute. It also has pockets! So I held my phone and mic in those. The sleeves are loose but tasteful. I loved this dress, it was perfect for the occasion!

Great quality, Beautiful pattern, conservative yet fun

First time renting with Draper James but really liked this dress. I would try other rentals from them. 
Fit and fabric were spot on! Cute silhouette and flair will look good on a variety of bodies. Flutter sleeves are forgiving on many bodies and not restricting like some dresses. Waist is a little on the fitted side (if you need to size up) but found this true to size being an athletic/pear shape. Would be good for a derby party also. Love the vintage feel! 


Loved this dress! Great for a family party. 

Such a sweet dress for Easter.  The fit is great.  I'm short waisted and have fuller hips and this was lovely.  

Adorable dress. 

The 6 was about half an inch too tight in waist to be completely comfortable on me/pulled open a tiny bit, so I am curious to try the 8.  

I am usually a 6 in most items but if the style has a fitted waist with zero stretch I often have to go up to an 8. 

This dress fit really well. I wore it to work and felt comfortable in it all day. The dress is very lightweight but lined so it's not flimsy. I received many compliments.
