Liked the style, but this dress DEF runs small

I ADORED this dress. It's so comfortable, feels super high quality, and looks way more formal than the pictures. What you can see is that it has a second layer underneath to make the dress feel more formal. I would highly recommend this dress, it made me feel like a million bucks!

One note: even though it has a built in slip you can see everything through the dress so I recommend high waisted and light colored...

Definitely runs a little small. And is more fitted than I expected. Still a great dress. Can dress it up or down. 

I wish I could find this dress to buy it I liked it so much. Wore it to a semi-casual 4th of July party and it was great, very comfortable. The linen material and stripes make it suited more for a casual event. A lot of the reviews say it fits small in the hips, but I actually found it to fit larger than I expected, and my hips are my problem area. I sized up for my backup size because of all the reviews commenting on it being tighter in the hips, but I wish I had stuck with my usual sizes because I would have worn the 0 over the 2. The 2 was fine and felt comfortable enough, but the top was pretty wide and I kept having to pull it up all day/night, and there was surprisingly still room in the hips with the 2. But overall it was a great dress! 

As others said this dress runs small so I got the 6 instead of the 4.  That was very helpful to know!  I loved this dress, it wears comfortably and is casual or a bit dressy.  I wore it to a seminar that was a weekend event.  And then I wore it again on a warm summer's day.  Perfect!  (As others noted it does have a weird line that shows through across the bust, not sure what that is but it didn't bother me.)

Good slip style fit, slightly tight around the hip for the pear shaped among us. I wore this on the plane and out for the first day of vacation and it was perfect. Cool, light weight enough for very hot climates. 

This dress is incredible! Running a bit on the small size, we recommend sizing up for the backup if you tend to be more curvy. This dress is perfect for a loose fitting style, and has little to no stretch to the fabric. With little stretch to the fabric, this dress would work best for A-C cup sizes and can be worn with any standard bra. With the dress meant to be a more loose fitting style, it provides a bit more room for the waist and hips. As a pear shape, I would definitely consider sizing up as this did run a bit small on my hips. At 5’7” the size 8 dress hit my mid-thigh. This dress would be perfect for a casual daytime event! I absolutely loved it! Pair with some fun dangly earrings or a statement bracelet to add a big WOW factor to this look. 


I loved this dress. I got it in my unlimited shipment and it was perfect in every way! Fits great, length was good even for a super tall girl like me, and wasn't too boxy for a shift dress. The neckline and back made it interesting and different. 

This was a really cute dress. It was great for vacation. I agree with others who said the fit was a little off. It was not as "relaxed" as it appeared in pictures, and was very unforgiving. It wasn't small, but the fit was loose around the waist and tight around the hips/butt. This coming from someone who really doesn't have that much booty! Size up if you do. 

I thought this would be perfect for a weekend at the lake, but the dress ran a bit small and it didn't have the relaxed look on my body that I perceived on the model. The slip underneath also made me uncomfortably hot given the fit. If I rented this again, I'd get a medium size. 

Cute little dress. Interesting because it kind of looks like it would be a shift but then is tight around the booty and not super forgiving in the belly. Definitely go up at least one size from your usual. Still it's really beautifully made and I like pattern in the & material! 

Love this piece but be careful if you have a booty or hips. It wasn't too tight to wear or to walk/sit in but it's a lil snug there. 

Sized up to a 6 due to the other review,s but the hips were still a bit snug - though I am a bit more broad than others. If you are curvy definitely size up. Overall the quality and cut of this dress was adorable. Perfect to dress up or down for hot summer days.

Love the fabric, feel, and style. The fit was tight in the hips. Not sure sizing up would have solved the problem. 

Super cute casual dress for warmer weather. The fabric is very light and comfortable, but it is cut VERY slim, particularly in the hips so if you are at all curvy definitely size up!

This dress is well-made, the material is beautiful, and it is lined in silk. However, I cannot wear it. I am 119lb 5'4" with a 34C bra size and the fit of this dress was terrible. It was tight across my chest, and there is a noticeable line in the chest area. The dress was somewhat tight across my hips and baggy all around my midsection. There is no way I would wear this anywhere. If you are stick thin, do not have curvy hips, and have a small bust maybe this dress will work on you. 

I couldn't wear it, when I received it runs supper small

I really liked this dress. It wasn't as baggy as I expected, but was not too form fitting and long enough for me to teach in and not feel uncomfortable. It hit right above my knee. I wore it with a bandeau bra and it looked nice. I imagine if I had worn a regular bra you could have seen the clips in the back. 

Love the easy-going feel of this dress.  It runs very small.  I'm glad I read that in previous reviews & followed the advise to size up! If you normally wear a 2/4/s then you'll need a size 6.  If you have hips or a big butt then you may need an 8...it runs that small. 

Comfortable, light weight dress. I loved it. Very cute and easy to wear. Versatile. I paired it with black stilletos for a night out and cowboy boots for day time on sequential weekends. 

I can't actually remember if it was size 0 or 2... it's annoying that I have to fill that in. Shouldn't RTR know??

I got this dress via my Unlimited because my top 3 other choices weren't available in my size. I thought it looked a bit boring, but I ended up really liking it.

The cut is flattering - I sized up almost two sizes based on others reviews, so it fit well. Not tight anywhere- loose enough to wear in 90 degree weather. Just different enough to make it cute.

I was planning on sending it back today but I'm going to wear it one more time to my friends for drinks! 

I first wore this dress to work and wore the green Bailey 44 Lebombo dress over it (and left the green dress open) with some open toed booties.  Then wore the dress without anything over it for date night.  Very versatile!

I rented this as part of my unlimited order and absolutely loved it! I received tons of compliments at work. After reading other reviews, I ordered a size up and it fit great. It it a little snug in the hips but I thought it gave it more of a fitted look which I loved.

I wore this with some simple sneakers and got a lot of compliments. It's a simple dress, but the fabric is light and flattering. 

I was worried this would be a shapeless dress but the fun details of the cut made it flattering and easy to wear. Nicer material with lining. A perfect dress for daytime wear... I was pleasantly surprised! 

Three people on one day asked where I got it.  

AMAZING dress. I've gotten so many compliments when I wear it. Can dress it up or down - I threw a blazer on it for work. I took the other reviewers advice and ordered a 10 (generally an 8) since I do have some hip curves, and it fit perfectly. Great advice, thanks all. Being that I am 5'10", I loved the length of this dress, it was still able to be professional. 

I'm glad I read the prior reviews about this dress, as I normally wear a size 8 and I chose a 10 for my backup size. The 8 was snug (event for my narrow hips) and a bit short (I'm 5'11"). The 10 fit perfectly though and I got a lot of compliments! Perfect for an effortless-but-dressy summer look. This was my first RTR experience and I'm sold!

Fit a little loose but just right and it's fit to true size. Has a cute back detail. Matches tons of jewelry and shoes. 

I sized up to a size 4, even though I usually wear a 0 or 2 and the 4 is still super tight.  I wish I would have gotten a 6 or even an 8 to get the semi loose look that is on the model. 

After reading the reviews I sized up, I'm normally a size 6, but at 3 months pp I went with an 8. It smooshed my chest and HUGGED my curves. The fabric has very little give, and I was hoping for a shift dress. I will likely rent again, only in a 10 or even 12 for a more work appropriate/everyday dress! The style itself is super cute!

Super cute dress. I ordered a size up after reading the comments but should have ordered two sizes up. I'm normally a 00 or 0 and ordered a 2. It was very tight but a cute dress. I'll be reordering in a size 4! 

Usually a 10/12 in dresses, but this dress ran on the smaller side. Not good for ppl with larger hips. I could barely fit into it. Loved the pattern though

Runs very small. Size up one or two if you want it to fit like it does on the model

I was excited to wear this, but it ran very small.

runs very small and is not a forgiving fabric

I love the simplicity of this dress and the fabric is a nice quality. However, you should definitely size up! I am normally a size two/four and per the reviews I read, I sized up to a four but it was still too small to wear. The top half of the dress fit well, but the bottom half was way too tight on my hips. This is to be somewhat expected since I'm on the pear shaped side, but I was surprised that I would need to size up two sizes. I may try this dress again in a six. It would be great for a casual, summer event.

This dress definitely runs small. The dress appeared well-made, but I was unable to wear because of the extremely small fit. This the second return, because of the tight fit. I have the unlimited shipment and plan to reorder the dress in a size 10.
