Gorgeous dress, sizing off
The material of this dress is super comfortable and high quality. I'm usually between a 6-8 in dresses and went for a 6 in this. Definitely could've worn a 4! Because the waist is a bit baggy, the ruching in the front looks droopy. I ended up wearing it anyway on a day with no meetings. The material has some stretch so if I rented again I would definitely go down a size.

Gorgeous dress, fit not for me
Based on reviews I went for the M in this (usually between a S and M depending on the brand). The fabric had some huge and is quite comfortable, but on me the fit was decent but not perfect. The waist was a tad tight, but manageable. I had some extra fabric in the bust area and considered smoothing it down with fashion tape, but instead went with another dress.

Long straps!
Talk about a gorgeous dress! Such a shame that the straps are just way too long. After some fiddling, I did find that the dress felt more secure if you slide the pieces that tie under the straps in the back, contrary to how it's shown on the model. Tied tight enough this way, it was more like a strapless dress with purely decorative, slipping straps. If I wore this as shown on the model, I was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen, since a bra is impossible with the low back of this dress.

Just okay...
It's such a risk as a size 6 deciding on a size S or M with dresses like this. I went for the M and while the dress fits, it's just okay. The straps and waist are adjustable, and the dress has pockets(!), which is really what made this suitable to wear despite feeling like I was carrying around extra fabric. The fabric is beautiful and light with an interesting pattern and nice details, good for a warm day. If I liked this dress more overall, I would try it again in a small, but it was just "meh" for me.

In love with this dress!
Such a beautiful dress! Material is a high-quality cotton perfect for spring/summer temps. I found the rib cage area to have a little extra room, but not enough to warrant sizing down. This is an easy to wear, unique dress that is perfect for a day around town. It's even conservative and comfortable enough to wear to work as well. I really wish I could own this one but $$$

Easy, Fun, Unique
Such a fun, gorgeous dress! I wore this to work and out to drinks on a Friday and found that it looked great with both heeled sandals and white sneakers. For others who are unsure to size down or up, I sized up and was happy with it. The material is thick and has stretch. It hugged my curves perfectly without feeling skin tight.

Unique, orange-y red
This was a fun step outside my comfort zone. The color was brighter and more orange than I was prepared for, but that's what I love about RTR: trying something new! I wore this to work and received lots of compliments on the color and fit, so I decided to rewear on the weekend for drinks with friends. The pant length is good for shorter gals too, no need to wear super high heels to prevent dragging/tripping. One star off because the bust area is quite large. I absolutely needed a safety pin to prevent wardrobe malfunctions.

Classic shape, fun pattern
Absolutely loved wearing this dress! This is a true wrap dress with a flowy, lined skirt. The fit was perfect, though I was a bit nervous about the small snap at the chest coming undone (and I'm not particularly busty). All of my coworkers loved this dress too and told me I should consider keeping it. Would definitely rent again (and maybe buy!)
