Wore this to work and got tons of compliments. Would rent again. 

This dress fit perfectly for me.  I just had my daughter there months ago and it still looked super flattering. Nice and flowy in the belly area and the length was right above my ankles. Would definitely rent again! 

I ordered an XL but could have worn a Large. It has pockets!

Very cute and very flattering.  Get it!!!

Love a dress with pockets. The top of the dress is so flattering and feminine. Was the perfect dress to wear to celebrate turning 50! Can be dressed up or made a little more casual depending on the shoes!!!

Very pretty dress with a subtle colorful print was very comfortable and breathable. The top was very large on me.

I wore this dress to a bridal tea — fit well in my 2nd tri and quality was nice, ultimately just a bit too frilly for my style!

I really loved this dress,  the skirt part was heavy but didn’t add weight.  Just a little bustier than I anticipated so it was a weekend only wear 

Very flattering for baby shower at 35 weeks! I didn't size up from pre-pregnancy based on reviews, but I'm probably about a 38C now and it was a little tight in bust - probably could have gone up to a L. 

So cute!! It’s black not navy by the way!!!

The fabric is coarser than I expected- if it was chiffon or anything soft and floaty I would have bought this.  Other than the texture,  it was absolutely amazing all around,  plus pockets!

I wore this to my sisters surprise engagement! It was the perfect vibe for the day/evening!!!! I loved it. Very comfortable! 

Lucky to get it NWT, considered purchasing it a few times, I didn't let it go right away, still thinking about it.  It's a lot of material, but not heavy.  Instant outfit with just 1-2 accessories.  And... POCKETS

This dress is shaped almost like a ball gown but bc it has a more informal pattern, it can really be worn anywhere. Be careful what shoes you wear bc it is long and you could step on the dress. It’s even good to travel in. Had to pin the top so the goes weren’t showing as much. 

This dress was so flattering on me, 21 weeks pregnant with my second child. Kate Spade does is pregnant women justice. The mid section is stretchy, which makes this dress both comfortable and flattering. You sure will look busy, but it also allows you to wear a bra, and the supports underneath (ie - belly belt support) and no one would know. 10/10 recommend for pregnant women!

Wore this dress to a wedding and it was perfect! The scrunchy fabric meant no wrinkling worries, and the pockets were such a nice bonus. At 5’9” the length hit just right, though it may run a bit long for shorter heights. Comfortable, flattering, and so easy to wear.

Heavier material but travels extremely well without wrinkling. I wore this on an Alaska cruise. It fit me perfectly. I was able to wear a bra and it was the most comfortable dress. I wore it throughout the evening and never once thought about changing before a performance or comedy show. The waist has an adjustable string 🥰

I really enjoyed this soft 100% cotton summer dress.  The cotton had a crinkle texture, which gave it a nice sturdiness, but still kept a soft romantic shape.  I was initially worried the ruffles on the shoulders would look a bit too much for me, but I ended up liking them.  It is rather low cut, and I really did have to work to find a bra that would work for it.  But for a summer vacation and the right bra, it would work great!  Even has pockets!

There are so few dresses on RTR that average a full 5 stars, and as soon as you try this on, you'll see why it's in that category! Comfortable material, super flattering fit, and a pretty pattern. It's quite low cut but has a helpful and inconspicuous snap on the neckline, so I went without a bra. A lot of reviews dressed this up for an event, but the material looks and feels quite casual to me. I styled it for everyday meals over a long weekend and thought it was perfect. 

This dress is heavy, but comfortable. Great material. Loved it.

It was perfect for a wedding we went to, I am considering buying - very flattering 

This dress is absolutely beautiful. I wore it to Mass on Sunday and then to a friend’s baby shower. It showed off my bump in the cutest way and I felt great in it. Very comfortable as well. Wish I could buy it! 

Heavy material, super cute, and flattering. I'm a bit bustier, so it definitely felt revealing, but nothing crazy. I'd wear it again!

High quality fabric and beautiful print for an outdoor wedding. I got it for work but realized it was too fancy and saved it for a wedding instead. Favorite dress of the summer!


This is likely a dress many would wear to a wedding or festive affair. I wore it to pick up my kids from school and for mother's day to church and dinner. SO flattering and comfortable. Nearly full length at my height.

Comfortable, cool and has pockets! Might be too long and too much skirt fabric for someone petite.

I think this dress probably works best if you are taller as it was long on me and I’m 5’8!  I love how it cinches in the waist. It is a thicker material which I liked but may not be for everyone. Love the pockets. Wore this to work twice!

Great fit and I had so many compliments on the pattern of this dress. Love it. 

Wore this to a winery this summer in Florida. Great to stay cool, look cute and feel wonderful. It’s a little more low cut than im used to but it still provided plenty of coverage.  Highly recommended.  I’m 5’3 and was about to wear flats so it’s not too long either.  Rent it. It’s so fun!

The fit was great for my size. It was fun to wear out to an event. Only issue was the snap kept popping at the cleavage, but otherwise I enjoyed the rental.

Wore this while providing day-of coordinating for a colleague’s wedding. It was perfect and flowy, and provided a little something special to my usual black dress as a DOC.

Comfortable, flattering, it got a lot of compliments! 

The fit is so flattering! The bodice hugs, the waist is defined and its flows enough to feel comfortable on a hot day. I felt so relaxed and comfortable wearing this. It's a unique fabric and the cut just works. 

Substantial fabric but still fine for summer in the mountains. Lovely flared skirt, nice snap at the neckline to keep it somewhat modest.

This dress is adorable and girly and comfortable and flattering. Wore to a graduation. Lightweight for summer. 

I really liked this dress. I wore it to the office and then again out for the weekend. It feels great. I’m 5 feet tall and it was just barely off the ground, would have been perfect with a small heel. 

No spanks! The mom flab was fully covered while I felt fabulous. I used body tape to make my tatas perky which I recommend for a special day and a C cup.
