Sea Salt Summer Dress

The dress was fitted around the waist, and I gained a few pounds the last month from a recent surgery so the 4 was a perfect fit. I was at an all day barbecue where I did nothing but eat, drink, and laugh with friends and I still felt beautiful in this. First time meeting the boyfriend's family and this dress put out just the right message.

Very sweet dress! Wonderful for summer. The cut is very feminine and comfortable.

I wore this dress for my engagement photos. I really loved the detail of the embroidery (it's hard to see in these photos, but there's actually a little bit of yellow in it, too) and on the back. The sides are pretty low cut, so be careful what you wear under it. Overall, a great dress!

Pretty, lightweight, and easy to wear. I wore his to the seersucker social and it was a hit. Stuck out in a sea of Lily Pulitzer and Lauren James. So many compliments!

I especially loved the chic white and blue back of this dress. Overall comfortable and super cute!! The neckline ended up being too low for me, so I used Hollywood Secrets hem tape to shorten the straps a little and it worked perfectly.

The dress is beautiful, with a classic A line fit. I loved the colors! You can tell the dress has been worn several times and some of the embroidery was coming apart or tattered. Even with these flaws I still got compliments!

The dress is very cute. I loved the design for a fun spring or summer event, but the top of the dress is very odd. It was huge on top and definitely did not work if you want to wear a regular bra. I ended up not even being about to wear it because the arm holes were huge and it just really did not work.

RTR told me that this was "bump friendly" and as I am longing for the days of dresses with a waist, I decided to trust them, but I am so glad I had another dress that worked. This was tight around my middle (26 weeks at the time) but huge around the top and for someone who is wearing a 34E these days, that surprised me. The dress itself was cute, but I probably would not have rented it if RTR hadn't told me it would work for a pregnant woman. It didn't, but I also did love the fabric and decoration up close. For such a pricey dress, it felt and hung a bit cheaply.

Really cute, great movement, stiff but breathable fabric.

The embroidery on this dress is even prettier in person than in the photo. The waist was smaller than typical. I normally don't have problem with the waist area but this one felt tight after a meal.

I ended up not wearing this one after all. Back is a different pattern than the front and makes it look sort of like an apron. It's all cotton and very soft. Maybe good for a summer picnic but nothing more formal than that.
