Cute dress. Lots of compliments. If you have boobs be prepared though! Lol that little button on there just wasn't going to contain anything. Nice cotton for the summer and semi conservative so it's work appropriate. 

I wore this to a baby shower, but I honestly feel like I could have worn it on so many different occasions - a party, work, casual wedding... it was super comfortable and flattering and I got so many compliments! 

So many things to love about this dress - an unusual but pleasing color palette, interesting geometric print (hard to find in a sea of florals), nice cut with a longer length but shorter in the front to show a little skin.  The fabric is very light and a bit stiff, so better for hot weather than some other wrap dresses I've worn which end up being a little heavy because of all of the gathered/overlapping fabric. 

Size notes: this fit me as if it were made for me, but I have a smaller waist, narrow shoulders, small bust,  and larger hips, so it's good for that body type.  The waist definitely runs true to size/small, and there is no stretch or anything forgiving about the closure (a fixed button and snap).  In this size and quite rare for designers, the bust was cut for a small size, so it was nice that there wasn't as much gapping as is usual for a wrap dress on me - but if you are one of those size 0 or 2 girls with a medium or larger bust you may want to size up.  I can't speak of how this translates in other sizes of this dress but based on other pictures I've seen it appears the bust is larger in larger sizes so only take my comments based on the size I wore.  

One thing that was a surprise to me because none of the pictures seem to show it (including mine) is that this is basically a cold shoulder dress - the "sleeves" are basically just wide ties and your whole shoulder/upper arm is exposed.  I'm honestly surprised it looks like such a full sleeve in my picture because it feels like it doesn't have sleeves at all when you are wearing it.  

Loved this dress! The fabric feels like a light weight linen/cotton, it is not silky like I expected. As a result, it is fairly casual and does wrinkle easily. But beautifully form fitting for a small waist! 

Loved the fit and flow of this dress. I did wear a tank underneath since it is low cut. I wore it to work with heels and to  a Saturday brunch with coral sandals.   

Dips low, had to pin. Otherwise, great fit!

Mine arrived without belt so I paired it with a neutral belt to cinch. 



I loved the fit and feel of this dress! I wore it in Miami on a hot day and was comfortable. Feels very feminine without being too girly. Great colors and print!

I got TONS of compliments on this one. The fit was amazing, pattern was so chic, and the layering/cut was on point! I would've bought it if it weren't so much! The only downfall is it wrinkles easily, just be aware...didn't stop me! 

I love this dress. It's shorter in the front then the back. You need to wear a cute bra under because it opens up. There is a belt that is great too. I am 5'7", 34b and weigh 144 lbs. It fit great but was a tiny snug around my bottom of my rib cage. That's where the dress wraps around. I would not go up in size.  I wore a 6. This would be good for many things:
First Date
Bridal Shower
Summer drinks
Work
I really want to buy this dress.  I love the brand Milly. 

I used the sash like an obi belt, laying it flat in front with the ties in back, then I crossed the ties and brought them to the front to make a defined full bow, which emphasized my waist nicely.  Lovely feminine bodice, slit sleeves and asymmetrical skirt line.

I rented this for a week in San Antonio. The fabric is so lovely; an Italian cotton.
It packed well, did not wrinkle, and is easy ,and comfortable to wear. Colors are so neutral that you could wear almost any color shoe. Lots of compliments! This is one I would keep!

This is a lovely print.  A few things about this dress though - you have to belt it.  There is literally one weak snap to hold it in place and I would not trust it.  Order up because this has a lot of cleavage otherwise and I just don't think this dress needs THAT much.  I had to adjust a lot to get that to work.  I'd say order at least two sizes up.  If you are working with more than a size B though pass on this one.

Loved the fabric, does need steaming or ironing and wrinkles easily.  The wrap sat well without loosing or riding up.  The neckline runs very low. If I rented again I'd size up in hopes a larger size has more fabric in the chest area. Great vacation dress. 

Loved this but was a bit revealing for busty girls like myself. I had to give it some extra work and safety pinning so I wasn't falling out of the dress. Was also postpartum and nursing - covered up any little belly nicely and was easy to unwrap to nurse. Wore to a shower and got lots of compliments!

A cami is definitely needed and wearing light weight merino wool leggings that came to the knee (rolled up above the knee) made me very comfortable as the wrap skirt can occasionally flutter open with a breeze.  The dress arrived quite wrinkled and required ironing but I could not get out all the wrinkles.  The material also wrinkles easily on wearing but because of the pattern it wasn't really noticeable to anyone.

When I first got the dress I noticed that it was VERY thin, but with how much fabric there is and the loose fit, nude undergarments are fine and nothing was transparent. This was easy breezy and a perfect seasonal transition piece. One star dropped because the rib cage is TIGHT. I needed to wear to an event, so I pinned it and wrapped the belt over it, but I'd size up.

This dress was very flattering and complimentary.   My husband even thought I should buy it!  However after wearing it a day in the park I found it difficult to deal with the wrap front.  The wind blew it open several times and the front button popped open frequently.  Still worth it - but definitely a fussy dress.  Also the cami was necessary.

Fit true to size.  A bit low cut in the front, but otherwise flattering and comfortable.  Signed up for RTR after a coworker recommended it...a few days later we ended up accidentally twinning! 

Fit snugly at the waist with a nice flare. But there was tendency for the V of the neck to gap a bit.  Had to use some fashion tape.  Probably best for those less endowed.

The dress is lower cut than the RTR photo implies, so I had to wear a camisole underneath. Other than that, the dress is very comfortable and easy to wear. I kept it to wear to two different events - a bridal shower and a graduation luncheon. I did think that it made me look a bit heavy in some photos, possibly because of the way I had it tied the second time I wore it.  Regardless, I got tons of compliments, and it moves beautifully. It looks very dramatic when you are walking and the dress flows out behind you.

I received so many compliments on this dress! It is so feminine and pretty and flowy. I really love the concept. However, I wore it to work and did not feel like there was enough fabric on my chest. I felt very exposed. But the length and the cut of the skirt is terrific. Size up if in doubt as the dress could potentially be tight in the arms and across the chest.

This dress is so lady-like.  I walked a few blocks to join a date for dinner, and everyone smiled as I walked by.  It's like a ray of sunshine or Spring in the form of a dress.  I highly recommend!!

This dress does run small, so sizing up for the backup is recommended. With no stretch to the fabric this piece is best for A-C cup sizes. You can wear any standard bra. It is fitted at the waist/natural waist and loose at hips. There is enough room in the hips to still be comfortable. At 5'5" height, this was 1-5 inches below my knees (it's asymmetrical). This style works with any body type.

The fabric is even prettier in person but it's just so low-cut it's tough to figure out a bra that won't show. Fabric also flows as beautifully as the other reviewers say. Wanted to love so much but it was too tight in the wait (4 usually fits me) and to go bigger would've made the bust gape even more. 

Simple cotton fabric but elegant silhouette 

Beautiful, flowing dress. Needs to be ironed (low heat) though as came quite wrinkled. The snap make it a bit tight so be careful to tie the belt well in case the snap opens

I ordered this dress to wear to my baby shower (32 weeks pregnant).  I LOVED the patter, but & overall style; unfortunately it was too tight around the midsection and I couldn't fasten the wrap portion around my pregnant belly.  NOTE: the fabric is a stiff, thin cotton with no stretch.

This dress is so cute and while  it looks like a lot of material.  It's VERY light and comfortable.  I will say that the waist was on the smaller side and the top requires a cami.  

Very flattering. Floats away from the body as you move. Very attractive print. Got lots of compliments at work and from strangers. Runs small. If you have a larger bust, you'll have to size up and where a tank or shell underneath.

I rented this for a bridal luncheon and received many compliments. The color and pattern is really fun and the dress fits great. The only con is that it wrinkles easily.

This dress was perfect for a warm day.  It's light and airy.  The sleeves have slits, and the wrap around style creates a nice layer of various lengths.  At 5'4, this dress is just above the ankle.  I love a flair dress with a belt, so this was perfect for my style   If you're large chested, you may need to cover up some cleavage.  I had to wear a cami underneath for work because it was too low for a work environment.  I would wear it outside of work without anything underneath.  This could be dressed up or down; it was very versatile.  

This would have been perfect had the button been attached.  I found it in the bag, but I was on vacation and didn't bother sewing it on.  It's a lightweight, very airy fabric.  Very feminine cut.  It would have been a big hit!

awesome dress!! not only is the pattern great, it is extremely figure flattering and floats behind you as you walk. the shoulder details are great, too. i'm typically a 4 and the 4 in this dress fit fine, although i would've preferred a 6 since i have a large waist and there is no stretch. it's a button on the inner wrap and a snap button on the outer wrap so size up if you're not sure since the tie around the waist will cinch the dress anyway. i'm only 5'3" so the longest part of the dress almost hit the ground. i highly highly recommend this dress!!

The print on this dress is gorgeous and the fit is so flattering and feminine.  Sexy while still ladylike.  The top needs tape if you have a larger chest.  I am keeping this for another event. I love it!

This was a beautiful, cool dress with a lot of casual drama. Perfect for a Friday night al fresco dinner with friends. I'm a bit buxom--34D--and the top offers less than maximal coverage--but I'm fine with a little bosom showing. 

Very cute dress although maybe a bit revealing in the busy for most people. 

It was great for a vacation in Egypt but I needed to tape the top together to stay in place. I'm 5'3, 100 lbs and wore flats with the dress 

This ran a wee bit small. The snap button wouldn't stay closed. It's so pretty though in real life. Next time I'll go one size up from the 2R.

This dress looks great on. It runs small as I usually wear 6-8 and this was a 10 and fit me perfectly. It's a bit low cut if you're busty so I suggest a camisole if you're shy. I didn't wear it because the fabric is lightweight so best for Spring and Summer events.
