It's a large fit, but the size smaller worked well for me. The v-neck is quite deep and requires some maneuvering with a safety pin or a tank underneath. I had a tan lacy bandeau I wore underneath it and it worked perfectly. It was also appropriate formality for my event -- day, graduation, casual event.

This dress is beautiful and is perfect for a summer back yard party.  My only complaint is the skirt is very full, which added more volume to my hip area than I prefer, and I didn't think it was particularly flattering.  Should have ordered a smaller backup size to try on because I think a 2 would have fit better.  This would be a great dress for taller girls, as they probably won't drown so much in all the fabric. Would also be great for very slender body types since it adds some curve.  Had to tac the the neckline a bit as it's a very deep V--nearly down to the sternum.  Overall great quality and a real stand-out print.  

The top is very deep v, I had to wear a black tank top underneath so I wasn't showing too much cleavage. The 10 was just a little too large, I've been a 10 in all my other RTR items, but I'm normally an 8 in "real world" clothes, so this runs large for a designer. I loved the poofiness of the skirt though. Got lots of compliments on the print. It's very flattering!

I wore this dress for a wedding rehearsal and dinner.  It's super comfy with a fun print.   A couple things to note: I'm usually a size 0, but 1) the smallest size this dress comes is a 2, and 2) I was about 11 weeks pregnant when I wore this dress.  It definitely fit like a large 2, with some extra room for a larger bust than I currently have.

Lightweight material, almost a halter cut, though not so much that you need to wear a special bra.  Because the top was somewhat blousy, I wore a camisole underneath to ensure my bra or the girls didn't accidentally pop out.

The written description is misleading - it is an elastic band around the natural waist.  I can see a plain woven belt looking good if you want to make this dress more casual!

The dress ran big and definitely didn't look like it does on the model (I would have gone with the size down, but I only rented one size since this was my back-up dress). The neckline was a lot deeper on me, to the point where my bra showed, so I safety pinned it shut and it looked much better - and closing it up a bit made the collar lay flat like on the model. The pattern was really pretty in person and I loved the hidden pockets. Overall, a good pick for my graduation dress!

This dress is really comfortable to wear, and it has pockets!  The print is vibrant and festive for daytime events.  It is lower cut on the bust than it appears on the model, though.  On the model it looks like it sits flat and is fitted on the chest, but the dress actually is looser there and the v is open.  I am a B cup, so maybe larger chested women could get away with it, but I think it would still be pretty open.  So you could try fashion tape, but to make it more comfortable, I just wore a black cami underneath and it looked fine (you could see the top of it, but it matched the dress fine because there is black in the print of the dress).  The dress is a great length (hit me about where it hits the model - I'm 5'10") and was a comfortable to move around in.  It's flouncy and flowing.  There is gathering of fabric at the waist and the pleats give the dress some shape for us women who aren't lucky enough to have curves, but it does add a little bulk to that area.  I wore it with gold earrings and a simple gold chain necklace.  And I wore linen color patent leather heels and a cream clutch, but it also looked nice with black accessories.  

Hm. This was a tough one to rate, and I would go 3.5 stars if that was an option. 
Quick review: PROS - lightweight, cool & comfortable. Really fun fabric. CONS - this dress has more fabric than a sewing room with a *plunging* neckline. It's best for someone tall who has time to do some fake-alterations.

Details:
This is a casual, lightweight fabric (think spring / summer dress) - not real dressy, but very comfortable and cool. There is a TON of material.  Too much if you're a shorter gal like I am. The waist cinches in, thank goodness, but the extra fabric on top and at the waist definitely added weight and made the dress less flattering. If I had been going to an event with a lot of pictures (a wedding or party), I might have opted for something else. 

Short girls, I am 5'2" and wore 4" heels. This dress was still a few inches too long. Not in an "OMG how could you wear that in public" way, but definitely too long.

The V-neck. The model doesn't show you that the V is cut to the waist. Literally. Again, if I were 6 feet tall, this might be great. I am definitely not. Adding another layer isn't something I like to do in the Phoenix heat, so I wore a bandeau bra and called it a day. If I had more time or interest, some pinning and fashion tape might have done the trick.  But I don't think anyone could wear this dress right off the hanger without addressing this neckline. Unless you're into public exposure. Then you're in good shape. 

Pockets were nice. Those were a plus. 

This dress runs really big. Trust me. I needed a 6, and I am always an 8  / 10. 














Rented as the back up for my Godson's 1st communion. Went with the other dress since it felt more appropriate for the occasion so wore this one to work with nude d'Orsay flats, a navy cardigan and layered with a navy tank since the V neck went just a bit too low for the office. This dress was very comfortable with soft fabric, loved the pockets and the print has very vibrant beautiful colors without being obnoxious. I received many compliments throughout the day even from strangers just passing by so you know that's a sign of a good dress. I was sad to send it back as I would own it if I could. 
Word of warning....beware of wearing this dress where it's windy. My office is along San Diego Bay and walking outside  got a bit nerve-wracking for fear of over exposure. ;-)

this is easy to wear, great colors, fun cut.  Will be renting this one again!  casual and fun.  

This was my backup dress for my rehearsal dinner. I loved it so much I wore it all day. 
The other dress I chose did not work so my brother's girlfriend wore it to the wedding.
Cotton was the perfect thing to wear on a hot day in Napa Valley.
The pattern is bright and fun. I wore it with a white cami underneath and turquoise wedge sandals.
The V in the front is VERY deep. I tried pinning it, but it looked better with a cami under it.
Elastic at the waist adds shape without being too form fitting.
I would dearly love to own this dress; it was that much fun to wear.
Definitely rent this dress.

The poofiness made my hips look even larger, but it wasnt too big of a deal. 

I had ordered a completely different dress in 2 sizes for a semi formal wedding; unfortunately my regular size (6) of that dress was returned badly damaged and RTR offered to replace it with a size 6 of any other dress that was available. I've had my eye on this one for a while so I was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was way too big which was a shame because I loved the pattern and style! The top was just too billowy and gapey. But, I would definitely try renting this again by sizing down!

I had to pin the top, it was too low even in the 2.

very lightweight dress that hit about half an inch above my knee. the fabric is not lined so it's very light. the elastic waist band also makes it a great dress for dinner. i'm typically btwn a 2 and a 4 and the 2 fit with room to spare. i wore a regular bra and a black cami underneath since the front was very low. the colors are great and pockets are always a plus. this can easily be dressed up for work with great pumps or perfect for a night out with strappy high or flat sandals. overall, great versatile dress!

Top was a little big. Wore with no bra, so it was sexy and ok with my B cup. Flare and cinched waist is perfect for pear shape. Wore with platform espadrilles.
