Got lots of compliments.  Dress fit well and looked good for my cousin's wedding.  Easy to dance and sit in during reception.

I normally wear a 4 -- but I do wish I had sized up as the waist was very tight. However, it was very comfortable otherwise and the cap sleeves were not restricting. The dress did show signs of being frequently rented and pressed. The lining was pilled in places and the hemline showed wear. However, I was the only one to notice and I received a ton of compliments on the dress. It was perfect for a summer evening "welcome party" for a destination wedding at the beach.

Got this dress for a morning baptism/luncheon. The tulip skirt and colorful bright yellow accents were the best part of the dress! Nice fabric, not thick but fully lined so it fit really nice. Only thing I didn't love was the length. In my opinion it would have been nice if it was a bit shorter but it wasn't anything awful. It still looked really pretty and appropriate for the occasion. 

I loved this tulip style skirt as it hid my saddlebags (thighs?) I loved the bright yellow leaves in the palm print...perfect for our Miami vacation. Wore to a splash party for my husbands company and felt super cute!!

Wore this for a major work presentation to many compliments. The bottom has a pencil skirt like cut that does a great job accentuating a small waist and smoothing out the hips. There's some structured ruching across the waist that's a little weird, but I found it worked itself out as I moved around in the dress. It also helped cover up a bit of puckering that occurs from having a short torso. The cap sleeves were super cute but I would not recommend if you need to lift your arms! :)

The only reason I gave this a 4/5 is that it was a tad long for my torso and so the top sat a bit high on my back. Otherwise it was top quality, nicely lined, and incredibly comfortable. 

This dress is beautiful! The style is flattering, and the color palette looks great against tan skin. The greenish-yellow palm fronds are more vibrant in person than they look online - definitely a plus! Bottom line: I felt awesome in this dress! 

I originally rented another dress for my fiance's graduation ceremony, but unfortunately it had to be deactivated prior to my event.  The rent the runway customer service rep was absolutely amazing! She sat on the phone with me for 45 minutes showing me dress after dress until we finally found this one.  I can't say enough about RTR customer service, as well as this dress! I felt very comfortable and pretty in it, the only thing I would recommend is to size down as it ran a little big. 

I rented this dress for my 76-year-old mother-in-law.  The dress looked so beautiful on her.  She wore a size 8 and the fit was perfect.  I am so glad that her first experience with RTR was so successful!  

Wore this to a friends wedding... July in Texas, it was perfect!!! Love love love

I felt so comfortable in this dress!  I wanted something that wasn't fussy (i.e.: no special bras or gut suckers needed) for a country club dinner.  I am a nursing mom so my chest and belly are my main concerns when trying on dresses.  This did a great job at minimizing my belly and keeping my chest modestly covered.  My measurements put me in a size 2, but pushing it with my cup size.  It was a little tight across the bust but that was fine since I wasn't flailing my arms around or anything.  The 4 may have fit looser but it wasn't available for backup so I took the chance with the one and am glad I did!   

I loved this dress!  I wore it to Steeplechase (horse racing event) and needed something classy and fashionable. This dress was perfect and I got lots of compliments. I wore it with a small black fascinator and black wedges. I was worried the wedges would be too casual but they looked great. The fit was snug. I wore my regular size (6) but I'd recommend the size up for your second size just in case. I was worried about the middle being too tight or unflattering for this new momma but I thought it was actually the opposite. Also, the lining was cotton and would be great for a warm event (like a beach wedding). This was my first RTR experience and it was great. Customer service was top-notch. 

It was a very easy dress with a very flattering (i think) fit. It was perfect for the occasion.

I felt great in this dress.  It was conservative, but chic - I loved it!  The pop of color made the dress a lot of fun to wear as well.  The cap sleeve didn't feel too restrictive as most do, so that was a plus.  I also feel that is really accentuates the right areas.  I loved how small it made my waist feel!  This is a perfect dress for many occasions or simply to wear to work!

I wore this to my friends rehearsal dinner. I took this photo when I was trying the dress on when I received my RTR package. This was my first RTR order. I had tried on the 0 first, and then the 2, but the 2 was too big in the shoulders for me. I found the product details helpful when choosing this dress, because as you can see in the second photo, I'm extremely bottom heavy. This hugged my shap nicely but had enough stretch to make sitting comfortably. I wore this with Spanx but if I had to do it again, I wouldn't, because the folds and draping of the dress are forgiving enough. You definitely need someone to zip you into the dress, but that's ok. The only complaint I would have is that arm moment was a little limited due to the way the cap sleeve lays, but it's not a big deal if you aren't planning to be doing the YMCA. All in all I would recommend it to any petite hourglass or pear shapes. Ladies with larger busts may have an issue.

I wore this for a work conference. It looks fantastic as a conservative outfit with the right amount of pop. It hit just at the knee for me. I rented the Kate Spade necklace that is featured with the outfit. It worked really well to turn my outfit from day to night. I really liked the way it looked and felt. The only thing is that when I lift up my arms, it lifts up the dress. The dress is thick material so it's probably better for an air-conditioned event or colder time of year.

It fit well and and the tulip skirt on it was too die for! It was a perfect for a spring wedding!
