Loved this dress! Looked great and was perfect to dress up or dress down. My only issue is that it came without the belt that the model is wearing so I had to scramble to make that work. 

I probably should've paired it with a different set of shoes. Something about it felt awkward. It was incredibly comfortable and I loved the color as well. I am wondering if I actually should have sized down. That might have made the difference for me. 

I'd keep if it wasn't still so $$ even though it's been around for more than a season. I'm 5'2 and barefoot as pictured - while long, it's elegant and slimming when paired w an oversized blazer. The armpits are a little big as others mentioned but given the fabric I can't really imagine wearing this except in fall/winter. Would wear to work, too. 

For starters, this stress is definitely more cream-colored then it appears in the photo...I would even go as far is it to say it's Oatmeal colored. I will admit the dress was a touch risky for the workplace due to the wide armholes and slightly high slit in the center, but the length and overall nature of the dress is conservative so I went for it and it paid off (with compliments)! The weight of the knit is very flattering and gives the body a very smooth line. Like others have mentioned, the belt was missing from my dress so pack an extra if you are traveling.

I love (almost) everything about this dress. It feels and looks very posh. I brought it with me to France and wore it twice, once for daytime once for night, and I think it worked either way. Paired it with a denim jacket and mules for the chillier night. The only negatives, as other reviewers have said, is that the arm holes are very large so wearing a normal bra can be tricky. I also found the length to be just slightly odd, but it didn't bother me too much. I'm shorter (5'3") so would be more normal on a taller person.

From the other reviews, I was worried about the large armholes (so I ordered a size down as backup) and that the dress would be missing a belt. The size down was perfect- no bra showing whatsoever with my multi-way crossed back straps. And not only did the dress come with a belt, but RTR sent an extra one with it as well!

Stretches out a bit, and the belt can look sloppy, but I would love to own this one. Great winter white. Not really warm, but beautiful.

Wore this to my bridal shower, felt so comfortable and got a ton of compliments. This dress is well made, structured, classic but also unique. Highly recommend!

Fit was a little loose but I ordered up. Very flattering. The only thing that bugged me about this dress was the sides are cut really narrow so whatever bra you are wearing is going to show. 

A friend said I had "Diane Keaton vibes in the best way". Another said it was "tres chic". This dress was so comfortable, and I felt so glam in it. I wore it 3X, including to a photo shoot for a local magazine profile. Rented in the midst of 16° NYC weather and wore it with heat tech leggings underneath, you couldn't even tell I was warm AND chic!

Thanks RTR!

Comfortable and super easy to wear! Because it's winter, I paired it with a black thin turtleneck underneath which also helped with the very slightly large arm holes. I chose black stockings and sock booties, but easily could've done my black cowboy boots for a little extra! They didn't send me a belt so I wore my own and loved the look!

I wore this dress for Christmas Day. Very high quality, heavy sweater material that makes it appropriate for colder weather despite being sleeveless. I was thrilled to be able to wear this longer dress dress despite being very short -- note I did wear high boots to make it do-able though. Endless compliments!

Rented this just because but took it on vacation. Enjoyed the mod belt detail and overall flattering cut.  Not for warm weather though...hence, pictured here by the ice machine.  

Very cute for the holidays but was expecting a bit more from this dress. The XS was not as tight as I expected.

This is a great dress. It's a sweater dress but skims the body nicely. Great turtleneck and the armholes are not too low and hide bra straps. The dress did NOT come with the pictures belt but I wore it with a vintage Pringle cashmere beaded sweater and my own belt. The length and fit and feel of this dress are lush, elegant and it has pockets!  Swoon! Top 5 rentals so far.
