Cute but scratchy
Super cute but the arms are very scratchy. Also in the back there's a section that opens to the zipper and at first I thought it was broken, but I think it's intentional. So it's 2 layers and the zipper is the first layer and the second layer is open so you can see the zipper, but not all the way up. It's hard to explain, but it doesn't seem like it's meant to be there

meh...
I have a large chest, and usually can't wear anything that buttons down because it creates a gap and you can see in my shirt. I thought ordering a size up might eliminate that, but this was still too tight in the chest for me. it's also low cut and tight in the hips

Cute and different, super short
I didn't end up wearing this, because it was a little too short for a work dress. I'm 5'6'' and if I put my hands up over my head you could see my undies. Very flattering, stretch fabric, and might work for a night out, just not appropriate for me in the office.

Comfy, classic
The fit was a little boxy on my figure. The back hem is a hair longer than the front which gives it a little something extra. I wore it to work with a blazer, then out that night with a jean jacket.

Super light, airy dress
Loved this dress. I have a large chest 34E so I had to wear something underneath (I have to do this for almost all wrap dresses). Watch out if it's windy, I almost flashed everyone a couple times. True to size and you can adjust how tight or loose you tie the belt

perfect top
This top was super cute. I paired it with a pair of slacks for work, then changed into skinny jeans to wear out that night. Runs true to size, goes with pretty much anything

Great for a work day
loved this dress! The sleeves were a tad long on me, but it was super flattering and I loved the fabric. I wore this with a pair of flats to work one day.

Super cute for everyday work
This dress was very comfortable. I was able to dress it down for a day at work, but you can definitely dress it up if you need to. The material was a little stretchy, but in a good way. Not too much where it looked frumpy, but enough so hugged all the right places.

Runs small, no give to it
This dress ran very small for me. I rented the 10 and 12 and I could nearly squeeze the 12 on. It's made for more of a straight figure. I have curves and this didn't work for me. Super cute though. It also has no stretch/give at all so beware.

Perfect for a Spring Wedding
Super cute, bright dress for spring. Both the 10 and the 12 fit, but I had a little more room to breathe in the 12. I have a 26DD chest and the dress fit great on the ladies. Pockets are a plus, and it has clips to snap your bra straps in place on the shoulders. It made me look a little bigger in the hips that I really am because of the way the skirt fits, but it wasn't enough that I didn't wear it. The bow in the back is super cute and different than any other dress. Both dresses I got looked like they have been worn/dry cleaned way more than they should have. Or maybe the dry cleaner just didn't do a good job of pressing the dress, because they both looked a little "worn". Overall a great comfortable dress.

Rented for a week long work meeting
This dress was super cute, but way too short for a work meeting (actually it was probably too short for me for any event). Both sizes fit great (10 and 12) so it just depends on which fits best on you. I was going to pair it with a blazer since it was for a work meeting but it would be perfect for a summer wedding, it's very light.

Rented this dress for a week long work meeting.
The dress fit pretty true to size. I'm usually between a 10 and 12 and both fit great. The 12 just gave me a little more breathing room, so that's the size I wore. It was a little on the short side, but not enough that I couldn't wear it to a work function. Nice material, not to light, not to heavy.

Great NYE Dress
Wore this for NYE. I'm usually between a 10 and a 12, but with all the holiday cookies I wore the 12. It runs true to size. The sleeves were a little longer than I expected, but not too long that I couldn't wear it. It's definitely a heavy dress. Perfect for winter. I wouldn't wear it any other time of the year. One thing I didn't like was the pockets...dont get me wrong, I love a dress with pockets, but if you have a little curve to you in the hip area the pockets stick out. I wish they were sewn. I had to keep pulling the dress down all night to make the pockets lie flat. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars was because it looked a little "worn" It was kind of fraying at the bottom. I was able to wear a normal bra, just slid the straps over a bit because it is wide at the shoulders. The sequence didn't bother me at all. Wasn't to "sparkly" Just right for a classy NYE party at an art museum.

Super Comfortable, but runs small
I'm usually between a 10 and 12, so I ordered both sizes. The 10 was was too tight. I was able to zip it up but I couldn't breathe! The 12 fit better, but was still a little tight. If they offered a 14 it would have been perfect. I'm 5'6'' and the length was just right. It's a heavier material, so it was perfect for a cold halloween night. The lace at the bottom was fraying all night and the lace on the neckline didn't lie flat, or wasn't pressed right so some of it looked nice, and other parts kept folding under so you couldn't see it. The capped sleeves were cute and the cutout lace on the hips was just enough to make it a sexy dress but not too sexy. It did give some very nice cleavage :) *Don't mind the "black eye" in the pic, it was for halloween

Great Idea, but didn't wear the piece I received
I loved the idea of paying $15 to get a surprise piece to go with the dress I ordered. However with this particular dress, and the earrings I got it didn't work out. I already had a pair of earrings I was going to wear so I bracelet, necklace, or ring would have been better. And the earrings didn't quite match the rest of the ensemble I was hoping to wear (belt, shoes, other accessories) Great Idea, and I will probably do it again but will leave a note to be more specific of what I'm hoping to get.

Very pretty, but did not wear
I got these earrings as part of the Surprise accessory RTR was offering. I already had a pair of earrings I wanted to wear so I didn't end up wearing these. They were super cute though, just didn't go with the way I wanted to wear the dress.

Great Lace Dress!
I'm usually in between a 10 and 12 (usually the 12) And both sizes fit me great. I actually had the 12 on and was all ready to go out the door, but it was a little big (showing my bra under my arms) so I put on the 10 and ended up wearing that one. I have a large chest (34DD) and it gave great cleavage! The zipper was a pain to get up and down. The 10 was a little short when I sat down, so I had to be aware of it every time I sat, but other than that it was very comfortable. I ended up wearing a skinny gold/giltter belt to give the dress a little something extra.

Very pretty, but not for me.
The dress is beautiful, but I ended up going with another one. Like the other reviews said it is very boxy. I tried a belt but that made it too short. Since I have a bigger bust I thought that would take away from it being boxy it just made it look more tent like.

Tons of compliments!
It's definitely a bright blue. The 10 fit, but was extra righting the arms so I wore the 12. I was comfortable all night long. The pockets were a plus. Like the other reviews said the lining was a little heavy. If it was super hot out this dress would have not been a good choice. Luckily it was a cooler night. I wore the kate spade chunky necklace and silver sparkly pumps.

The dress is beautiful!
It fit perfectly. I have a pretty big chest, so I was worried about the V neck but this dress sat perfectly. Unfortunately US Air lost my baggage on the way to my wedding so I never got to wear it for the black tie wedding I was supposed to attend in NY.
