Struggling to hide Covid weight gain? Look no further!!!
I should have sized down, but honestly I'd rather a loose dress than tight! This is everything I was looking for, the fabric is thick enough that spanx etc ARE NOT REQUIRED! Which to me is huge, not just for comfort but also with stomach issues I have. I wish I spent more time on the bow as the fabric is heavy and it looked sloppy towards end of night but whatever. This dress was and is my SAVIOR, I absolutely love that RTR lets me feel like a million without spending it. This dress is 20/10

This is NOT a good camouflage dress for hiding quarantine llbs...
It looked like a good option for a fancy-ish dress that offered forgiveness with my covid weight gain. I got the L + XL as backup, both were perfectly horrible. The stretchy mid-section is the downfall for anyone that's curvy, as it sits (and naturally moves up, no matter how much you pull it down) ontop of your hips. Combine that with a very fabric-y bust (it made my girls look 2x larger) -- everything got pushed up and I looked like a double waterfall. No no no.

It was big but I don't care. AMAZING
Got a few sizes too big but still looked amazing. This dress is absolutely gorgeous, I had on tights and was so happy spanx weren't necessary as I had been wearing them all weekend. The collar itself is a statement no necklace is needed. Sleeves make it. Amazing

Wear with spanx
Wore for funeral- spanx were 100% necessary luckily my sister had a pair I could borrow. Didn't have to adjust where it fell on my waist once I had it on, but the peekaboo cutout in the bust would get out of place every now and then, so be sure you look down and readjust otherwise your bra will be exposed. Wore w black tights, looked good. It's fitted on stomach so if you're not in the mood for spanx this is not the dress for you

Fits like a glove- in a good way
I got this for a funeral. Ended up not wearing as I was very bloated that morning and preferred the other rental dress, but the fabric and fit was amazing. It fits like a glove but isn't ridiculously tight, it would have been totally appropriate with black tights. Deff would wear spanks with it, but really felt amazing on

Unforgivably huge
I got this for a funeral, rented XL so I had some room for fitting over dresses. This coat does not have any zipper or buttons, no way to cinch the fabric at all, so what you see if what you get. Not sure if an L would have been any different, I was looking for a large coat but wanted some shape to it- this has none. Things like this make me very glad for RTR bc has I invested in a coat I would have cried! Just unfortunately I looked like a walking wig- it's seriously so huge
