Material is too thin for maternity dress
Needs a light lining! Beautiful print and super soft fabric but way too thin for a maternity dress. Shows/hugs my innie belly button in my 2nd. Don't want to be captured in photos with an indent shadow. Like that the dress shows shape but doesn't need to show everything. Day beach dress fabric, not for formal church event. May work if you have a tiny bellybutton? Even with the ruching, doesn't conceal well. Disappointing!

So pretty
Opted for something edgier but love these. Pretty lavender color. So lightweight. Always love Kendra Scott. Beautiful and flattering shape on the face.

Blends in well
Blends into the background. Great for streamlined styles or when your dress is the focal point. Buttery soft leather. Doesn't stay closed well when you stuff it since it's a magnetic closure, but does fit quite a lot. I like the wooden (maybe wooden) symbol. Not flashy but more artistic.

Great for winter wedding
Recommend for winter / fall wedding. Camera doesn't pick up the stunning embroidery. It's gorgeous. Seems to be best captured in person or in natural daylight. Nice fitted sheer-ish sleeves. Fitted body. Bottom does pouf a bit (part of the style), which is why I recommend high heels. At 5'2, my 3.75 inch heels helped elongate and carry the extra pouf. Would rent again. Super comfortable. You will need help zippering. Impossible to do on your own due to delicate zipper and thick/heavy material.

Love the uniqueness
Add a little edge to your dress. Loved that these weren't boring. Tad bit heavy but wanted to add some edge to my very feminine dress. Seem to do the trick. I replaced the backings with plastic ones from my own costume stuff. That worked way better for support. Great for events. Not recommended for daily use (not great for ear lobes).

Odd fit but nice material
Not for anyone with hips or rear. Lovely material and color. Looks more expensive in real life than in photos. Would look nice on a more narrow body type. I don't have much luck with this brand for this reason. Nice length. It seems like their fit model has a different figure than I do. Baggy sleeves for an XS (odd too).

Gorgeous
Didn't wear because I changed dresses, so needed a different look. Would have worn with my first dress choice (blue sequin dress). So pretty! Prettier in person. Works for petite faces. Pearl raindrops strategically placed on the leaves. I would definitely rent again. Shows through long hair but not enormous. Didn't feel heavy. Looks expensive.

Strange material
Looks great on others but didn't work on me. Must have narrow hips and no bottom. Weird wiry material. Great concept though. Would have liked if it flattered my body and the material could be adjusted. I liked the look of the fabric (artistic). Great length for petites. No stretch.

Love love
Sexy number. Didn't wear since wedding was Black Tie Optional. More cocktail! Great navy color and has stretch (thank goodness). Great for concealing midsection pooch. 2 was perfect on bottom. Top slightly loose but not too noticeable. Use fashion tape (avoid shifting). Can pin front. Would rent again for sure for the right occasion. 2 wasn't too short. Sleeves help tame overt sexiness. Can lean a bit sexy Vegas cocktail waitress but accessories and simple shoes could help tame this.

Gorgeous and elegant
Didn't wear since I wanted something less formal but would rent again. Thick material. Conceals lower belly pooch with belt around waist and hanging belt. Wouldn't recommend if bloated (side pooch). Spanx recommended for more finished look. Looks more formal on than in pic. Recommend getting the petite for petites. With 3.5 inch heels, was grazing floor slightly. May want to size up. Didn't try SP but wanted to because XSR was long and snug in tum area? Didn't get a chance. Has stretch (yay!).

Too Costume-y
Pretty but not as expensive looking as I expected. The small spikes make it look nice and are the best part. Overall, they just didn't look expensive enough. May photograph better though.

Gorgeous but too long for petite faces
Love these. The green is a light emerald color. They were too long for my petite face. Hit my shoulders, so didn't wear. They look best with hair up since the jewels hang more to side (at least on my ears). Couldn't really see the nice design with long hair. I thought they would look more edgy in person, but they weren't as edgy as I was looking for. More like classic with a slight twist. Can they make these but slightly shorter? Brilliant design.

Sweet But Young-Ish
Didn't wear. Doesn't do a lot for the waistline. Reminded me of pride and prejudice or a bridesmaid. Loved the floral details and the colors. Arms were loose. Generous fit in the hips. Can look a tad pregnant from the side. Felt sweet but felt too young. I maybe would rent for a super specific and conservative occasion. It was a "safe"dress, but it fit, which is half the battle on the RTR search!

Doesn't look as good in person
Nice color and thick material but looked odd on. Not flattering. Not for skinny woman with hips. The color is the best part.

Odd fit
Super short dress but massive on top. Baggy arms. Cool idea if it fit better. Not for skinny women with curves. No give. Looks amazing on other reviewers though! Haven't had luck with this brand anyway. Not cut for me, more like a Lululemon sizing/shape.

Odd fit. Great color.
Would be a great dress if cut to my body type. Not for skinny women with any hips or bottom. Arms were baggy. Nice fabric though. Looks amazing on other reviewers. I don't do well with the brand, so I'm kind of not surprised. Didn't wear.

Not for petites
Cut outs hit in a weird spot. Too tight in the wrong places. Not for skinny women with curves. Thick fabric didn't help.

Didn't wear. Odd fit.
Kind of a cheapie dress quality-wise. Absolutely no give. Not cut for skinny girls with curves. No room for hips or bottom. Sleeves were baggy in a S, but I do have thin arms. Cool concept. I love red roses. Not for me though. Seemed a little too cutesy on me too. Looks great on the other reviewers!

Big sleeves
Sleeves were too wide. Would have to take to a seamstress. Body fits nicely. Thick but flattering fabric. Runs small. Usually a 0 but got a 2 based on reviews. I bet the 0 sleeves would have worked hit the 2 body fits well. Nice hourglass silhouette. Classy and sexy at the same time. Color is more muted than in photos. Maybe it just picks up a nice color when photographed.

Doesn't accentuate waist
Doesn't accentuate waist, so almost fits in a boxy way. Straps and overall length a tad long for petites. Pretty concept. Not amazing..just ok on. Looks great on other renters.

Tight in Mid-Section
Not cut for me. Hips and behind on petites. Hugged lower belly in the wrong spots. Pretty from the front. Good for narrow hips/waists. Runs small. Got a size 2 based on reviews. Usually a 0.

Stunning dress and unique
So flattering. Didn't emphasize lower stomach. Fit true to size. Fitted silhouette makes up for length on petites. Rare combination of sexy, sophisticated bad edgy. Great fabric and texture. Love. Way better on that I thought it would be.

Too big
Overlay fabric is beautiful. Top was soo loose. Weird fit for a DVF. Somewhat conservative dress but didn't fit well, so couldn't tell overall. If you're bigger up top, may work for you. Lace overlay is pretty long, so it needed to be fitted close to my body to compensate.

Odd fit
Sleeves are way too long for petites. Not a cute look. Lace overlay material is nice. Sort of big up top and tight on stomach. Looked unflattering overall. Slip was tight. Lovely concept. Odd fit. Looks great on other RTR customers in pics.

Print and color -wow
Love lightweight fabric since wraps can sometimes add too much bulk to a petite frame. Print is beautiful and not too overwhelming in person. Rich red. Somewhat Asian inspired print. Stunning. Had to find and buy. Better in person than on RTR model.

Unique style
Fit perfectly up top (nice and snug but not too much. Little loose through hips. Couldn't tell if it was because of wear. Had to find and buy. Color is amazing. Could be shorter. Great look to dress up or keep casual. Petites May need heels.

Odd fit
Baggy sleeves and super wide skirt. Adds width where you don't want it. Maybe better on someone taller? Love the style concept and looks great on other RTR renters. Not flattering on me! Waist fit fine. Baggy or wide elsewhere.

Adorable bag
Adorable bag. More neutral blend into the background kind of bag. Slightly long for petites. Goes well with white and cream. Wasn't a wow bag for me. Wish I could at least shorten the chain. Great bag though.

Fit big, baggy arms
Not for those with skinny arms and it was a little long than I would like for petites. Conservative romper. Looked like I borrowed my big sister's clothing because sleeves were baggy. Nice material. Would need this romper in a petite version. Mesh material was nice. Didn't flatter my figure.

Too cutesy
Pretty fabric and style concept. seems to run large. Fit well but didn't flatter. Proportions were off. Nice fabric. Quality construction. Too cutesy for my taste. Mesh does not work on tan skin tones, beware! Probably better off with the black version.

A bit worn (4 stars) . All else 5 stars: Great style. Would buy if it were a newer version. Has stretch. Size up if you want a less fitted style.

Too cutesy
Nice fabric and print but with the ruffles and the fabric combo, it looks like a dress for a 12 year old...elementary school graduation dress. Long straps and tighter in the midsection. Looks great on others in the photos. You probably need to be really curvy to pull this dress off? Not sure but not my style at all.

Just ok
Pretty color. Deeper yellow than in photo. Nice fabric. Could use some stretch. Slightly odd fit. Loose in the straps but too snug on the waist. Could have been shorter. Just overall, not a flattering fit on my body. Concept and design are nice. Looks great on others in the photos. Probably works best on someone with a large busy and narrow hips.

Love the style. Size up one size.
Fell in love at first try on. Glad I listened to reviewers and selected a 2. I'm usually a 0. Could tell that the waist would have been too small in a 0 since it's a tiny bit snug already. Can wear a bra if it's a proper plunge one and may need fashion tape. Can be dressed up or down. Pretty short! Love breathable cotton fabric. Good for petites.

Delicate and everyday wear
Not an event piece. More for everyday wear. Super delicate and barely noticeable even draped over fabric top. Really pretty though. Gold was a little faded :/

Love the design. Can't see with long dark hair.
Love these! Only works if you wear your hair up or have light hair. Blends in too much with long brown hair. Very stylish though.

Little large in midsection
Forgiving in midsection, which is nice. I usually have the opposite problem. It could be a teeny tiny bit more tailored in the midsection, but the thick fabric overall compensates. Sexy but not trying to hard look due to the tank style. Definitely recommend. Nice coral-ish red color too.

Runs large
Probably should have rented the petite version. 0R pants were baggy and straps to long. May try again with petites but have to think about it because I couldn't tell if it would be cute scales down. Too big all around, not a sexy look! Maybe has potential?
