I wore this dress for a rehearsal dinner in New Orleans.  It was comfortable, flattering, and fit my body very well.  I received many compliments on it and was so fun to wear.  I want to buy it....if I could.  

I rented this dress for a summer country club dance. Rich people and hot weather - eek! This dress was perfect in all respects - fit, color, style, wearability. I have a small waist, and I think the style is best for the hourglass shape. It was a hot muggy evening but I was cool because of the dress' ingenious silk lining. Perfect for dancing as the dress stayed put and did not leave me all sweaty. I got four complements from strangers. The fabric does wrinkle a bit as other reviewers have noted, so I'd wear this to a less formal affair.

I rented this for my daughter to wear to a family wedding.  She is 6'1" and I wanted to be sure that the dress would be long enough.  I consulted a stylist and the dress was perfect.  It hit just above the knee.  Of course being a teenager she complained that it was too long but the compliments were showered upon her all night long!  The color is a beautiful deep coral.  

Very fitted through the bust and midsection but does have some stretch and very comfortable overall! Hit at about knee length. Great dress!

I love love love the bold flattering color of this dress in person. There is no shifting and gapping in the top. This is a very comfortable dress that breathes well.  I would especially recommend it for an outdoor wedding since it could easily be dressed up or down with accessories. I wore this to Sunday brunch, which isn't really a special occasion, but I didn't want my first experience with RTR to be a special occasion just in case something went wrong. I'm happy to report, the entire experience with RTR was flawless. The delivery and the return could not have been more perfect. One note: This dress is fitted in a structured not clingy way in the bodice, the waist, and down through the hips... then it A-lines out. If you are self conscious about your hips or waist, order a size up for a less tailored fit in those areas. Overall, I'd definitely order this dress again to wear. 

Great dress - I could have worn the 8 for a little more room, but felt the 6 kept the top from wrinkling too much.  It was tight with my push-up bra, so since there was some boning, I decided to go braless and it fit much better on top.  It did wrinkle a bit, luckily it was super humid when I wore it so the wrinkles kind of fell out.  

Great dress, great fit, very comfy, lots of compliments.  

This dress was a substitute when my first choice was suddenly not available.  It was fine for a casual rehearsal dinner, but I'd definitely expected it to be a little dressier (luckily the event was pretty casual).   I agree with the other reviewers about a lot of the characteristics of this dress: 1) the material is a lot more casual than I'd expected.  It's essentially a lightweight cotton and a lot less formal than you might expect for the price. 2) The straps are a bit too long on top. 3) The darts at the bust are odd. Instead of being just darts, they're like a panel of material, which made my bust look weird.  Definitely needed a bra with this one.
The dress served its purpose, but there are too many better options on RTR that I'd rather rent.    

The dress fit true to size.   You are able to wear a regular bra.  

The dress was very comfortable however ran a bit large - If the straps were adjustable it would have made for a better fit (which is why I didn't give the dress 5 stars).  I wore the 4 but probably should have ordered a 2.   I pinned the top straps and just put a white shrug over the dress and it still looked great.  Paired the dress with metallic summer sandals, a tory burch long gold necklace with dark navy accents, and a navy Kate Spade bag - Felt great and wore it on a hot sunny day- 

I ended up wearing this dress to opening day at the yacht club. It was a great material and cut for the day. I received numerous compliments on it and especially the color. One note, the material was starting to look a bit worn. That said, I would likely rent it again, just one size down. 

Great color - perfect for a spring or summer wedding.  It showed a bit of cleavage but not over the top and the length of the skirt (hit about at the knee) made it conservative enough overall.  My only complaint was the material was not as nice as I'd hoped and it wrinkled very easily.

Rented this little number for a rehearsal dinner in July, in wine country. I wanted something that wasn't too dressy and would do well in the summer heat. I received a few compliments in the dress and felt it was very comfortable. My only issue was the top- being a small chested gal (34B) the darts we're super awkward. Also, it's definitely a dress you need to steam as it's linen and wrinkles easily. Overall I'm sot sure I would rent this again, I'd probably just look for something similar.

Other small busted women beware! This was too large on top even with a push up bra. Other than that, the waist fit beautifully and it was very comfortable for a spring outdoor wedding. Do be careful as it does wrinkle easily, and the length on shorter girls may be too much. It hit me just an inch below my knee. 

Lovely dress. Classy, fits well. Only complain was it got a little wrinkled.

I really wanted to love this dress. However, I just didn't feel quite as glamorous in it as I expected I would. 
The color is beautiful, a blushy orange. The construction is immaculate. It is fitted through the hips, and then it flares out. I'm 5'7", and the skirt came down to mid-knee. 
There are two darts at the bust, make a sort of "boob pocket". If you are small-chested like me, you need the right padding just to fill it out. I would expect anyone with a D-cup or over may spill out. I wouldn't recommend this dress if you are short-waisted. Of you have a long torso, this dress would probably be very flattering. 
Also, I have a pretty good figure, but I am a little soft around the edges. This dress shows everything, so a foundation garment is recommended. The one thing to know about this dress is it wrinkles. I had it neatly pressed, and as soon as I sat down, it didn't stay smooth.  
Overall, this is great dress, but only truly flattering on body types.

material was not as nice as expected - more a cotton summer dress than a high end casual dress. Fit was a little odd - waist and top were looser than expected so did not end up wearing.

This is kind of a weird dress, to be honest with you. Something about the way it's constructed kind of gives the impression of a raincoat? Like an idea that wasn't executed well. It also didn't help that the skirt panels (another idea that wasn't executed well) hit right below where my belly and love handles end. And I'll agree with the other reviewers - good luck trying to avoid wrinkles. I rented it to be a bridesmaid in a wedding and wish I could have tried it on first. I'll upload a picture whenever the wedding photography is available. There are okay aspects - as someone else mentioned, the lining is very comfortable. Definitely no complaints about RTR, the sizes I ordered came on time, clean, etc. But yeah ... not a major success of a dress design.

This dress has darting and padding/extra coverage in the nipple area (I think to make it possible to wear without a bra) that makes the material lay really weird. Also, I steamed the dress and it was completely wrinkled again within minutes of wearing. The material is a pretty color, but the fit in the bust and the very wrinkled fabric did not justify the high cost.

a bit long wasted for a short person (5' 3") and a large bust, but looked great. 

It fitted very nicely. Slightly big on the bust (I'm small) and it was a bit longer that I would have liked.
