Beautiful!

Beautiful dress, but runs small and long. If you're not tall and thin, plan to wear a belt.

The quality and craftsmanship are superb. T of L never disappoints. However, this style wasn't great for my body type. I'm short waisted with an athletic body. The upper body buckled, the waist was tight and the hips were too large, sadly. Didn't even end up wearing, which was a disappointment, as the dress is so beautiful πŸ’›

πŸ–€ Cool & Unique πŸ–€

I actually wore this several times. The belt was kinda awkward so I ditched it. The quality of the belt wasn't consistent with that of the dress. Maybe looked a little funny without it, but I felt comfortable and confident wearing, which outweighed how it looked. Probably not for everyone, but I would def wear again πŸ–€

Comfortable, professional, unique fabric, and flattering. Works great for business casual. I paired it with red loafers for a day of fieldwork, and the dress held its own. Even received some compliments. Would love to own this dress 😍😍😍

I ordered this for a busy weekend and it did not disappoint. It went from brunch by the beach, to a company picnic (including crafts and a sac race), and ended the day at the horse races 🐎 As other reviewers mentioned, it's a very large dress. However, this worked in my favor as it kept me cool and comfortable. The cotton fabric toned down what is clearly a designer style, making it appropriate for a wide range of events. Would be a nice piece to purchase as a staple/perennial favorite πŸ’›

Not the highest quality but easy to wear and can be dressed up and down, a little. Rented for a wedding, but it wasn't nice enough. However, I liked it enough to purchase it for another event.

Fun and versatile

I'm not usually a fan of elastic waist, but this was a fun skirt. Wore it to an evening event with a body suit and high heel sandals and it was darling - everyone loved it. Fun for spinning. Also wore it with a t-shirt and tennis shoes for running around and received just as much positive feedback. Great staple πŸ‘

Pretty Cute 🌸

Good fit, good length, pretty color. I wore to work and a graduation party. Looked appropriate for both. Received compliments in persons and from others who saw photos. Personally, I don't love things at my neck, so probably wouldn't rent again. But that my preference and no reflection on the dress.

Cute dress. Light with good movement. The elastic waist wasn't very flattering though - made the quality seem mediocre.

Nothing Special

I like fun playful clothes, so I wasn't scared off but the colors. However something about the shoulders felt strange. I didn't end up wearing it. Would've been cuter without the hanging sleeves. Oh, and also, although it's a forgiving shape, the chest was pretty tight. Darling in pictures, but just didn't work for me.

Cute

I knew when I rented that the dress was too large, but I needed a cute and comfy "hangover" dress to wear to Sunday brunch, after a wedding. For that event, the dress was PERFECT. Anything other occasion, it would be cute but not special. I wore it three times and only received one compliment. That says it all.

This is so comfortable, yet a little interesting, that it can't be beat for throwing on in a pinch. Errands, brunch, lounging, a casual drink. And, as with all RTR pieces, compliments from strangers can be expected πŸ–€

Summer staple

I was expecting a lightweight billowing dress, but the fabric is too heavy for hot climates, wrinkles easily, and actually runs narrow through the body - not fitted, but narrow. I normally wear a 6, but ordered a small as this style typically runs big, and I could NOT wear it. It was too tight through the bust and too fitted through the bum. Not sure yet, but I'm considering ordering a medium. That weight though.... Maybe I won't because it's so heavy. πŸ˜•

Pleasantly surprised

I honestly wasn't expecting much - the fabric looks a little boring on the pictures. But it's really cute in real life. The fabric is sheer, so a slip is a must. But the fabric breathes well and is comfortable in the heat. Doesn't wrinkle much, but the pattern hides any wrinkles that do occur. I wore it several times and received commitments every time.

The style was dressier than the fabric. So really best for an outdoor event - garden or country club. This was an XS on a 5'7" frame, so wouldn't be as short on an average figure. Pretty cute!-

Exquisite Quality

I rented this for my daughters wedding. Far prettier in real life than in photos. The quality and workmanship is exquisite. However, I have a boys figure, so larger waste and narrow hips. I had to size up in the dress to fit my waist, but the resulted in a gaping chest area. Definitely better suited to a more shapely figure.

Perennial Staple πŸ’ƒ

I'll preface by saying the dress adds a few pounds - unfortunately. However.... The dress is gorgeous and received compliments from nearly every person I saw. It's hard to see in the pictures, but there are chili peppers in the design. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner in Santa Barbara and received compliments from not only other guests, but the wait staff, the uber driver, and the bell boy and desk clerk at the hotel. It's just extremely cheerful and festive. 🌼

Very pleasant surprise! 😍

Needed one more dress to fill my order, and grabbed this with low expectations. Could NOT have been happier. VERY forgiving of a few extra lbs. Fun movement. Non-stop compliments. Doesn't wrinkle. This would be a fantastic travel dress. Can be casual or dressy. Can't say enough.
