Great color for blondes! Also brought a elegant vibe without having to wear a full length gown!

At first, I was worried that I was walking a fine line of looking like a Hermione Granger straight out of Harry Potter with the cape piece of the dress.  The longer I wore it, the more comfortable I got, and I really came to love the dress.  Looking back at pictures, it really accented my body and was comfortable attire with class. 

It's definitely a snug fit. I ordered a size up from my usual size and it was perfect. I felt like Wonder Woman with my cape. 

Love this dress -- very comfortable and dramatic without being too flashy. I wore this with the Kate Spade Peacock Way necklace and matching bracelet (both also on RTR). I wore a bandeau bra underneath. 

The dress fit for the most part. I have a larger bust, so it felt a bit tight through the top. It fit great everywhere else. Bonus points:  We rode a very cute, but very non-air-conditioned historic train to the wedding venue. This dress showed no trace of sweat!

I did find the dress to run a tad small for me - I typically wear a 6 but it ran right across my shoulders and the cape didn't fall correctly - but the 8 was perfect and not too big anywhere else which made it nice and comfortable for dancing the night away! I got tons of compliments on the bright and bold color along with the style of the dress. A friend of ours said it reminded him of something the new Captain Marvel would wear.... I am all for girl power! Definitely a dress to feel sexy and comfortable in....it has it all!

The dress color is stunning and would look good on anyone. I wore this to a work xmas party and was extremely comfortable the entire time, but was glad I ordered the size 8 because I couldn't even get the 6 on. The layer underneath has very little give and was a bit tight, but it was comfortable enough. I couldn't even wear spanx, but the top layer was a tad looser so it was very flattering and kept everything in. 

This dress was truly unique & fashion-forward! I wore it for a formal rehearsal dinner that I wanted to feel fancy for without being too flashy. This dress did just that. Very classy, beautiful, vibrant color & the cape gives you major Wonder Woman vibes which is never a bad thing! The fit is as you would expect in most places, but gets slightly more fitted around the stomach/hip area, so if you're a little hourglassy - make sure to get a second size up in case. Wonderful dress!

Cute and fun dress for a fancy Vegas weekend. The cape was awesome. The perfect use of RtR. I would have never bought this dress. Fits TTS. If you are slightly top (D cup+) or bottom heavy i suggest going up a size. There is minimal stretch and I just got it zipped up. I took a star off as this dress is a bit worn. It's obviously popular for a reason!

This dress is amazing. Super comfortable, and it stands out in a crowd. I got compliments all night 

Dress is beautiful, many compliments.  Was a little tight around the bust

Be mindful that this dress has zero give to it.  I rented the 4 and the 6 and ended up wearing the 6 which was still somewhat snug in the hip area.  Overall I was pleased with the rental, wasn't my favorite RTR dress I have worn but I received many compliments and the color photographed beautifully.

Comfortable fit true to size with stunning color.  I ended up wearing a different dress bc my husband liked the other better but this would have been MY choice :)

Lots of compliments, especially on the sleeve/cape.  A little tight so would recommend getting your size + the size up

The shoulder cape was the perfect amount of flair for my event, made the dress formal enough without being too formal. The blue totally stood out. I rented larger sizes bc of all the reviews that said it ran small, but the larger size was a bit too big. I felt it ran fairly true to size (my usual size may have just been a bit more snug). 

I originally ordered another dress but someone forgot to return it after a long weekend. This was my backup option but I'm so glad this was the one I wore for dinner. The fit was perfect on my slightly hippy athletic frame. I can see how others with bigger chests had issues but as a b-cup, I had none. The length was cocktail and when sitting it felt a little scandalous. The cape was amazing! And the color was perfect too. Would rent again. 

Loved it, no complaints, fit true to size.

A little snug around the waist, but otherwise really comfortable!

I typically wear a size four, and did wear a four in this dress. It is snug on the hips for an hourglass figure. 

I got compliments on this dress all night! If you are broader in the chest or shoulders order a size up or the cape part won't sit the way it should. Otherwise it was great!

I am typically a size 4 and am 5’11” so I am always concerned about length.  The dress runs small but the 6 fit perfectly!

I'm 5'8" and 135 and the size 6 fit just right. A little snug in the bust when zipping up and rides up on thigh when sitting but I don't think the 8 would of been as flattering and form fitting (some pics made the dress more shift/drape looking. The cape on the arm is cute but a little awkward when sitting, you need to lift it slightly so you don't sit on it. Great wedding reception dress!  

This dress was amazing, fit true to size, and had SO many compliments at the wedding I was at. Perfect for a formal fall wedding. Fun to dance in as well! As others said the hanging straps are hard to keep in the dress, fashion tape would have been helpful. 

Ordered the 4 and 6. The 4 was probably the better fit but I ended up wearing the 6 because it was more comfortable for sitting, moving, dancing etc. I wore a strapless bra, which helped fill in a bit. Gorgeous color. Lots of compliments. Not too short nor too long and that cape added some flair you don't see in most dresses. 

The Good!... It's a beautiful color and unusual cut.  Paired with silver heels.  I received a lot of compliments and it photographed well.   Wore size 4.  Generally wear a size 2-4 in pants and 34b bust, (5'4" and 135lbs ) the dress was loose in the bust and waist but tight in the hips.  I could squeeze into the size 2 and it fit my upper body perfectly but was uncomfortable at my hips.  The criticism.... Fabric had minimal give.  I had to smooth the dress down a couple of times because it would ride up slowly and made my midsection look poofy due to the fabric.  I wore spanx underneath and really appreciated how it smoothed everything out.  Dancing was a little difficult and couldn't lift my left arm because of the cape.  Verdict....While I likes the concept of the dress, I probably wouldn't reorder this dress.

As others have said, the dress runs small - I ordered an 8 and a 10 (I have lost a little weight, so I figured if I was a 6 the 8 would fit, and if I was an 8 the 10 would fit). I was able to squeeze into the 8, but I was able to breathe in the 10.  Fit well and the color is gorgeous.  Decided not to wear a bra, but I did wear a smoothing brief. I felt so pretty in this - would rent again!!!!

The dress was comfortable and unique. I ended up wearing my backup size which was a size larger due to the interior layer being snug and the underarms a bit tight. Absolutely fabulous dress!

I wore this dress to my class reunion. The cape made me stand out in the crowd. I got so many compliments all night. 

I normally wear a 2/4 in dresses depending on the style and I took the other reviews into considering when I ordered this dress but I wish I had sized up. The 4 fit fine but the inside slip layer is a little tighter that the outside layer. I wish I had ordered a 6 as a backup to see the difference but I still absolutely loved the dress. I felt amazing in this dress. 

This wasn't the dress I originally picked, this was a back up dress sent to me since my other dress couldn't be shipped.  It worked well,  it's a simple dress but the cape just adds a sense of elegance to it.  The size  4 probably would have fit but it was really tight in the chest area.  Also, sitting in the dress wasn't that easy - at least not in a 45 min car ride.

The lines of this dress are fabulous. The cape adds interesting detail. I wore this to a wedding but could have easily worn to a business event. 

Although I ended up wearing this dress I didn't love it. It fit me kind of weird and seemed to run small. Overall unique dress and the blue color was really pretty. 

This dress was sent overnight as a back up to a dress that was delivered damaged. I was concerned at first because the size 0 was unavailable, so I was sent a size 2.  I had to use some fashion tape to keep the dress in place (I'm tiny up top). Other than it being a tad big, this dress was fabulous!  

The 2 fit like a glove. I wore an adhesive petal bra but with a standard strapless the bust may of been a bit too snug. The fabric and cut of the dress is so beautifully made and the cape and color were amazing.  I would own this dress.

All reviews said the dress ran small so I ordered a size up. I truly felt the dress ran true to size and I could've used a zero. Otherwise I loved it and felt elegant. Received lots of compliments all night. 

I loved the style of the dress it was very unique. The color was very striking and was perfect for a summer wedding. I normally wear a size 6 or 8 but the 10 fit best around my hips

I absolutely loved this dress. The color is so striking without being too much. The fit is beautiful and the cape keeps it classy while the length keeps it young and fresh. I will say though it totally runs AT LEAST 1 size small. I'm normally a 10 and I JUST FIT in the 12. If you don't mind what size the tag says, don't miss this dress!

I was a little unsure about how the cape would look, but it turned out to be so fun and got lots of compliments! The color was gorgeous and dress was super comfortable.

Rented this dress for a formal work event. It travelled well & was perfect for the occasion. Received a bunch of compliments! I normally wear a 4 but ended up in the 6
