As the other reviews mentioned, the dress is heavy! The bow is made out of the same material as the dress plus the mesh overlay so there’s very little chance that the bow will maintain its shape on its own. Make sure you fluff it before pictures! Also, I thought it was a polkadot print mesh, but they’re actually little R’s. I personally thought it was really cute, but it definitely came as a surprise. From the reviews I chose to size up but I actually  ended up going with my actual size and still the top kept slipping down for me. Definitely a sitting / photo dress, can’t do much dancing in it at all. Super cute and the perfect Emily in Paris birthday dress! 

Ordered for a Barbie party and didn’t wear bc the top was so heavy it kept falling down while also being quite short. Size needs to be just perfect for it to work.

Fun for a Barbie themed birthday party! The bow kind of fell all night, so be aware it’s not going to sit upright the way it does in pictures. Pretty large, it was falling down all night but I had already rented it and needed a dress so I stuck with it 

This dress is for fashion statement.
Although too tight below specially for big butt like mine, tight in the legs and mini! I only used for fashion pictures and was fun! The bow is very big, little bit heavy. Use for fun!

It’s a little much. Very cute and fun for the right event. Ordered it for a Barbie themed party. It’s right on the chest and then it’s otherwise really comfortable - but not form fitting at all.

Such a fun dress! Definitely runs small. I went up a size. And don’t forget to fluff up the bows, which I didn’t do such a good job at, but will make the dress look better! 

Who is this dress made for? This dress was like a t-shirt on me, and it was incredibly unflattering. If you have even the slighted amount of butt, or breast, or you're taller than 5'8" this dress is not made for you. I got it to wear for my cousin's wedding, but I just looked like a bright pink animal balloon. Needless to say, I did not wear this to the wedding, but I felt it was important to rate it, as the fit is EXTREMELY different than what is shown in the photos 

Looked at reviews and sized up, which fit and wasn’t baggy, but I could have worn my normal size as well. The bow was very floppy (as seen in the photo) but it was SO CUTE in person! Wore this to a ‘mad hatter tea party’ bridal shower. I am definitely going to find a reason to rent this again. 

This dress was such a hit and so much fun!! 10/10 recommend! 

The bow lost its shape and it’s unfortunate bc the idea of this dress is so good. 

Yes, the top is heavy, but not unbearable. I have a small chest so I didn’t mind it too much. I put my arms through the bow and that helped to keep it up. I absolutely loved this dress.

Everyone loved and commented on this dress! It’s heavy up top and might be hard with bigger breasts because it pulls down in front, I hiked it up alot but it was super worth it!

I usually wear a US 4, but ended up having to wear a US 6. While it fit me at the bottom, I did have to use fashion tape at the top so it didn’t fall down. Because the bow design was heavy, it was lower and showed more cleavage than I expected. All in all, it was gorgeous and I received lots of compliments!

I went to a costume party as Katy Perry and thought this bow dress with the wig would be perfect. I ended up looking like a shower loofa. The bow was so heavy that it did not stick up like a bow and just hung. You can’t tell it was supposed to be a bow. Also because of this, it was so too heavy and I kept having to pull up ALL NIGHT that it was making me angry. I was not comfortable at all. And felt like a house. I’m just writing this review to hope to help other women that think they could feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again. 🎆 

This dress was honestly awful. It fit terribly. Too tight in the hips, too loose around the bust. If I had sized up so that it fit like it does on the model, I don't know how it would have stayed up. You could probably make it work if you size up and heavily pad your bust. Too heavy for fashion tape. Also there is no boning or other structural element in the bows, so you really have to fluff them before your photos. I did steam it before going out to see if that would help, but it only did so much.

Loved it statement dress. Got tons of compliments. However, it's a bit snug at the bust but it was manageable. 

This dress was everything I wanted it to be and more! It’s so unique and fun. 

Make sure you size up. I typically wear a 2 and ended up wearing the 38. It is a heavier dress, but nothing absurd. I could have gone braless, but am glad I didn’t because of the weight of the dress pulling down. 

The dress was too small and both sizes. I usually wear an 8 and the 10 was way too small. Order 2 sizes up 

So I thought this was going to be the cutest little pink dress in the world. Well, the top felt too tight and too big - meaning, my boobs felt like they were going to pop out however I couldn’t keep the top up. It would all slide down, the dress included. The skirt portion was huge and not in a stylistic purposeful way. In a weird fit way. It was a size four and I would never get the two to zip up. I don’t know- the bow was not shaped properly and just dropped down:(. 

I rented this dress for my Birthday Dinner. I received it on time and and just left it hanging up until the day i needed to wear it. The dress is super well made. It’s honestly kind of heavy. The bow takes up a lot of space and it’s a gorgeous color. The only downside is that it was a little tight around my bust. I wear a 34F in bras so it was to be expected, but i honestly loved how my cleavage looked. The dress has no stretch so be sure to take that into consideration when renting. I styled it with matching pink tights and shoes. The shoes didn’t match perfectly but it wasn’t that big of a deal to me. I felt absolutely beautiful in the dress and would most definitely rent it again! 

I wore this dress for my 40th birthday party and it was fabulous! I almost didn’t wear it because the 36 was a tad snug and a bit short, the 38 was too loose around the rib cage so fell down. I ended up going with the 36 because, well, I wanted an “extra” dress for the occasion! It. Was. Perfect. So fun! The bow is somewhat heavy so I had to pull up the top some, but if you have a small chest it’s no biggie. If you have a large chest, size up! 

Could have worn a smaller size if  I wasn’t a 36DD as the bottom was very loose. Had to get a 6 so the top would fit! I’m straight up and down and no hips. 

Probably the most fun dress I’ve ever worn, and I received the most compliments! Definitely size up, I’m usually a 0-2 and the 4 fit perfectly. I was so obsessed with the dress!! 

Such a cool vibrant dress! I felt like a gift to myself 😁

This dress was fabulous. I ended up having to size up per other reviews so I was happy to have had the backup size. I could get my normal size on, but it was visibly tight. The bows were a little heavy but I felt like a princess all night. 

This was the most perfect birthday dress! I added gloves from Amazon that ended up matching very well. Like most RTR clothes, as soon as this came out of the bag I got to work steaming it and fluffing the bows. If you skip this step the dress will not look right. The bows needed to be "repuffed" periodically through the night. I sized up two sizes to account for my chest; it was a little loose on the bottom, but the top was snug! Absolutely loved this dress and felt so beautiful wearing it. 

Wore for my cosmetology school graduation walk out and it was an absolute showstopper!!! Wore my TTS! 

RUNS SMALL + SO SHORT! I'm 5'8/5'9 and sized up and was still almost too short! 

I got this and one size smaller but neither fit very well.  The smaller size fit better on top but was too tight on hips. I am small up top and I was holding this dress up with my arms for much of the time because it's super heavy. Don't forget to fluff the bow beforehand. That being said, the pictures look AMAZING. I only ended up wearing it for like 20 mins and then changed into a backup dress at the event I went to. 

Fully lived my Barbie Girl Fantasy in this dress for a late-summer gala. Could not have gone a size up *or* down.

The reviews are all true (re: small sizing & heaviness of the bow), so as long as you do your due diligence to order your correct size & use a bit of fashion tape, you'll LOVE this dress too!

Wasn't until I was packing this back in my suitcase that I realized the zipper goes to the side of the dress and not the back. Nonetheless it was still super cute and such a head turner! Beware the dress is HEAVY!

One-of-a-kind, super fun dress! Wore to a party and received tons of compliments - didn't leave anyone indifferent. Rented a 40; I'm typically a 38 and wore 40 comfortably - I think if I had sized down it would have probably been a bit too tight around the hips. The bows are quite heavy but they held up no problem. Perfect statement dress to rent (and not buy)! 

Wore this to dinner during my bachelorette weekend and it's stunning on and in person. The top fits snug around the chest so I felt super secure moving around without having to adjust the dress. Absolutely loved it

Did a take on "Diamonds and a Girl's Best Friend" (Diamonds AND a girls best friends!) for my Bach trip and this dress sparked the whole idea. Its definitely a modern take on Marilyn's dress in the movie Gentleman Prefer Blondes when she sings that song. It was surprisingly comfortable although I did have to go up a size, but even then it was so flattering, stayed up really well, got so many compliments and had the absolute best time. Definitely main character moment material!

Wore it for my birthday and got compliments all night! The bows are super heavy but it's such an amazing dress

holy showstopper! This dress is even more stunning in person. Hard to keep it from wrinkling/creasing when sitting so that's the reason I gave it 4 stars. The bows are so pretty and help hide arm and some tummy insecurities. I am usually a 4 but the 6 (38 euro size) fit perfectly. Dress is a little heavier than expected and the length would be hard for taller girls.
