True to size, lightweight material that has a slip under to add structure.  The front does have buttons that have small openings that show skin.  I wore a black bodysuit underneath and it worked out perfectly for Christmas mass.  Highly recommend renting. 

Great dress but had to wear a camisole underneath.

The color is fantastic & the top did not needed a bra but the split in the front was very discreet and even though I am bless at the top it was conservative & they did not showed

I loved this dress and got lots of compliments. It was easy to wear meaning it didn’t need shape wear, it wasn’t too short, I didn’t have to stand up perfectly straight worrying about a plunging neckline. A great party dress. I’m a pear at 5’7” and weigh 138. I would have sized down bc it was a little big but also just so easy and cute. Just depends if you want it a little tighter 

Dress fit comfortably. It was extremely professional. Color is gorgeous. I'm in love w this dress. 

Dress was cute but big in the stomach. It had a "pregnant belly but not ready to tell anyone yet" feeling. Shoulders fit well and the button up neckline was different. Nothing special though. If you are looking for a red work dress, keep looking. There are better choices. 

I love the style and cut of this red dress. I would get it again except for two things: 1) it was a tad long for my barely 5'0" frame and fell right below the knee so not the most flattering length for short petites. 2) the top, while beautiful with the buttons and high collar, gaps open a little to peek at your chest. If you are bigger busted than 34B it would open up even more. 

Loved this dress! Fit was perfect! Attended a 40s themed work party! 

Got size 16 which worked well on my 14/16 bod. Was a little sexy for work with low cut button front. Liked the shoulders, loved the color. 

I rented this dress for work and it was perfect. The length was great for the office and I got a lot of compliments on it. The fit was true to size.

You would never guess how comfortable this dress is by looking at it- it was amazing! The detail on the fabric is a nice touch, as are the buttons on the front. Really nice piece. 

Love the color and the style of the dress. A little off the beaten path. Great for work and could probably make the cut for cocktail party or after work. Slightly fitted but not uncomfortably so.

Love, love Nanette Lenore!   RNR please carry more styles.  Classy.  Comfortable.  Fits me perfectly.  

This fits true to size and was so comfortable. The material was a little on the thicker side and almost stretchy but not quite. It was so beautiful and I would love to buy it! 

I rented this and wore it for work and a cocktail party. I loved how soft the fabric was and the overall fit on my fairly straight body type. 

I'd thought this was going to be a thin silk based on the photos but it's a slightly stretchy, thicker fabric. Really lively, and the neckline makes it a little less conservative (if you've got a larger chest!).  

If I owned the dress I'd have stomach area taken in so my curves would pop. Otherwise it's loose fitting in that area. It's perfectly appropriate for work and felt great on!

I wore this to a festive Christmas party. I am 9 months pregnant and the dress fit perfectly. It was a big stretchy, but not too clingy where it displayed all of my flaws and rolls. 

I'm in love with this dress - feels so good on and love how it looks - wear to work style.

I like the fabric and color of this dress.  The high collar makes it warm.  It does show every curves.

Very pretty buttons covered in the same fabric with loop holes showing at each. Flattering collar height, and tucking around shoulders contributes to hourglass shape. Fabric is light enough for outdoors in fall, but still warm enough for indoor over-air-conditioned rooms. Good for travel - indestructible in luggage, then any slight wrinkles fall out if hang in steam after shower.

Really loved this for work. The sleeves, in the shoulder area, had a little puff up so it makes your shoulders look more bold and your posture kind of looks better too. (You can tell well in my photo due to my post) Loved that the fabric had a little texture to it which made the look be more interesting. Overall cute and somewhat bold look that still works for business.  

Flattering fit that was true to size.  (I would recommend sizing down if you aren't very busty.) It gaps between the buttons on top so a black tank may be needed.  

Great length, comfortable fabric. Nice color and details. 

This dress runs big, even though it looks like it will be body con due to the cut. I am between a 2 and a 4, so I rented the 2 based on previous reviews. It was still a bit big. Having said that, it was comfortable since I had room in it. Light cotton fabric, lined, embossed with a floral pattern (nice detail). With the high neck and longer length, it is conservative but also has a little sexiness to it. I thought it looks better with heels due to the style and length. Good for transitioning between seasons. Easy to style since accessories can be kept minimal. I wore this for a business-attire awards ceremony for work; the red was a nice pop of color in a conservative sea of black and navy. I really liked this one. 

What a lovely rental: fab high victorianesque neck, comfortable material, lined dress.... the smallest size it comes in is 2, and I'm typically a 0 in designer dresses. This one proved to be too large/roomy for my body type. I may have gotten away with wearing it but would have had a matronly look vs. a nice fitted and sharp look. It's has great yet subtle buttons from the top of neck to mid chest, and can be a peekaboo look. In short, didn't wear this dress, and it came with new tags! 

I am a sucker for a high neck. It has pleated sleeves which gives it a Victorian feel without going over the top. The material is stretchy and super comfortable and doesn't wrinkle, so would be great for traveling or someone at a desk. There was plenty of room to move around in this dress - so much so that I probably could have gown down a size.
