Summery and fun
Cons: Fit was a bit tight around the chest in the medium (and I'm a 34 B/C). Straps on the neck will eventually dig in, becoming uncomfortable. Under dress is tight to the body and short. Neck line is very high and can feel constricting at times, especially while sitting. Pros: print is very pretty. Dress was flowy and light on a hot day. Length was perfect paired with flats or heels. Not too fancy and not too casual.

Cute but small
It's a very cute bag with a shimmer effect. The way it opens and closes - almost a click - is unique. It's a bit small, barely holding a phone and lipstick!

Itchy and tight
I didn't really like this dress, in fact I didn't wear it to my anniversary dinner at the last moment. The zipper was sticky and the collar on the neck was just too tight. It made me feel claustrophobic. As cute as it was, it wasn't for me. I also noticed that the arms holes would migrate every time I moved my arms and it would give me that of so flattering arm boob look. The arm holes were also very itchy due to the overlay fabric on the bodice. I liked how it was long enough for me, the draping was flattering. It just wasn't for me.

Wow oh wow, what a dress!
This beautifully lacy dress, I want to buy it! The fabric is heavy and the dress is very well made. It's stretchy and shows serious body-ody-ody! I got so many compliments on it and it was perfect for a Victorian Western (don't ask) wedding I was the wedding coordinator for. It got a little sweaty in the chest during the hottest part of the day, but otherwise it stayed put and didn't ride up. My only issue is that the zipper was VERY sticky on the 4 and the 6. I needed help to get it on. Also there are some cups sewn into the lining in the bodice and they were all scrunched up. You couldn't tell from looking at me head on, but you could feel it and it made the top a tiny bit bunchy.

Perfect for a spring fling!
This dress was a bit big in the bust on the 4. I'm a 32D and it was baggy. The 2 fit perfectly and both were touching the floor in length. Wearing wedges was enough to keep the dress from dragging. No malfunctions with the side slit and I enjoyed the breezyness when walking. Button around the neck was a tough one to unbutton. I had to wear a low racerback bra as the straps cut in towards the shoulders so regular bra straps would show and there is a keyhole back. Double fabric allowed me to wear any color underwear and it didn't show through. Has belt ties on it but neither dress came with a belt. It's elastic on the waist so a belt isn't totally necessary but it would look okay with or without. Butterfly patterns are sophisticated and gorgeous. I'd wear it again!

Great contrasting patterns but runs large!
I wore this dress for a summer backyard wedding. I took the advice of others and sized down. I was glad I did, because even the 4 was big on me. Especially large in the bust and around the natural waist. It was ok though, because it was very comfortable. You can see in pictures that it's a bit big though. I got lots of compliments on the dress, and the length was perfect. Wasn't itchy, hot, or uncomfortable in the slightest!

Simple yet silky
Another stunner of a dress from RTR! I wore this for an early summer wedding. I didn't know the dress code so I wanted something that was simple and somewhat conservative. The dress itself is silk, and very simple in design. It's a elastic natural waist with lots of room in the bust and belly area. It was long enough on me (being 5'11" and wearing heels). A few cons, it blew away quite a bit when it was windy. I had a few Marilyn moments. Also the belt was missing (the one pictured on the model) on my size and my backup size. My backup size still had the loops for the belt, but no belt to be found. My size had the belt loops cut off! I meant to call customer service but didn't have a chance. A nice fabric belt would have made this a 5-star dress. I got lots of compliments through the night. Easy to dance in and move around it. A- dress!

Green with envy
Beautiful jade green dress that I rented for a hot summer wedding. It didn't breathe very well and I was hot under the bust. Both straps broke by the end of the night and I managed to wear the dress using just the material versus the small straps. It can be worn both ways if you'd like. Flowing and ethereal, received many compliments.

Classy and different
Fit great, had good sizing to make it a bit tighter. Totally different statement jewelry and very complimentary.

It made a 90 degree wedding ceremony bearable with how light it is.
This silk dress was a delight to wear. The color is pink with grey/taupe details. It's very light but not see through at all. Every dress is short on me (5'11") but it was perfect for a summery casual wedding. The only issues I had with it was the top was a little big and I felt like I needed a padded bra to fill it out. Also the clasp that keeps the top part together was a nice touch, but it constantly came undone, was visible and awkward, and eventually looked to be unraveling.

Fabric too thick
I ordered this as a backup dress and got the small. It ended up fitting, but was a little too small. The fabric was soo thick and it smelled like chemicals from the dry cleaners. The colors were also a bit faded and it looked tacky. I didn't end up wearing it because I felt it wasn't age appropriate.

Flirty and Fun!
I did a retro look with this dress and it was perfect. I felt so pretty, but not too glammed up. The dress was so comfortable, since there were no zippers or anything in the way. It wrapped around and cinched up like it was made for me. Got some compliments on the ruffles and the simplicity.

Black can be festive!
Such a pretty dress! At first, I thought it would be itchy, but it wasn't. I wore it to a semi-formal evening wedding. It looked sooo good on! It's 2 pieces, with the nude slip dress and the lace over dress. Lots of stretch and movement to it. I did find it would ride up though, so I had to pull it down discreetly. I'd recommend fashion tape to keep the under slip attached to your bra, or else you'll have exposed bra under the lace. Got lots of compliments.

Flowy and breezy at a summer wedding
I wore this dress to a summer wedding. It was a beautiful silk gown, which was perfect for an outdoor wedding. It was windy though, which wasn't great because the front was a bit short and I was flashing people. I also had to wear a safety pin under the top layer because of static cling.

Too bad it didn't fit!
I rented this for my graduation. I ordered a 4 and a 6 and neither fit. I was super bummed. Way big in the chest (I'm a B cup). It was also really wrinkly, didn't like the fabric at all.

This dress was perfect for a winter themed party I went to. It was a bit itchy at the arm pits from the beading rubbing but bearable. Wasn't too short for my height and the bust wasn't huge on me. Size 4 fit perfectly!
