LOVED this
i didn't know how it would fit me, but the world told me: strangers stopped me in the street to tell me I was beautiful, my colleagues thought I was a superstar. This is so comfortable to wear as summer turns to Fall. I would buy it if I could.

People stopped me in the streets to compliment me
I usually don't go for this style of dress. But I'm glad I did! Strangers in the streets, long-term colleagues, friends, my eyebrow lady all told me it was beautiful on me and unlike anything they'd seen. It's simple in fit (loose, flowy, midlength), and this makes it easy to wear everywhere. Don't let your brain talk you out of it -- rent it now!

Not your grandma's ruffles
I wore this to the office on the hottest days in summer. I received so many compliments. The lining is long with an additional piece of the printed fabric, so you can flounce about without worrying the dress will ride up.

Unusual and comfy
I didn't know what this was going to look like on me so I just went for it. I got a lot of compliments even though, in the wind, I felt like a parachute! Super comfortable. I paired it with some flats, big sunglasses, and my work tote. I felt like I had just walked off a yacht into corporate America.

Fun for summer
Pretty color, great under a blazer or on its own. I found it a little too long for my frame but I am just 5'3. Nice thick material doesn't reveal underwear, but if you have a shorter upper body like me the straps may be too long for you

Looks like just a shirt if you're big bottomed
I wanted to love this and I made it work eventually, but I was disappointed it rode up my hips so much that it just looked like a shirt. (I ended up wearing white cut-off denim shorts underneath, like it was a flannel shirt.) The attached belt could work for you -- it didn't work for me: it was attached at a midpoint that was lower than my natural waist, so tying it made me look heavier than I wanted to look.

Comfy and versatile
I am a curvy woman with the three Bs: boobs, butt, belly. This dress was easy to wear, and I didn't feel self conscious in it. I wore it to work with flats and a blazer; I also wore it to a brewery with white sneakers and big shades. I was surprised that it was slightly big on me: I am a 12-14 and need stretch for my hips/thighs. For folks who like to dress modestly, the cleavage area is on show!

Spring Greens!
This was a versatile piece for the transition into New England spring. light enough to go under a jacket, it was also self-sufficient over boots and I was able to walk about Boston without feeling cold in it. Maybe because it was gently worn, the fabric is thinner than expected.

Like a winter toga
The detail on this is not for wallflowers! I thought the fabric would just swish a little but the wrap part really does hang -- so much so, I couldn't wear a jacket over it. I wore this to work one day and had to keep swooping it up over my shoulder. That being said, I felt fashion-forward and it was an interesting play on a classic cream sweater.

If the Cookie Monster were a style icon!
This was a delightful piece to wear: I felt embraced and stylish, and it elevated my basic workwear into date-ready outfits. The buttons are slightly awkward to do up (they're those press buttons, and the thickness of the fabric gets in the way). Visually, though, this is a winner.

I wanted to lOVE this but the shoulders didn't quite hit me right. I have a larger chest and appreciated the coverage. The material was super cozy and the color was a great transition into Spring.

Not for short curvy girls
The color and sequins are great but this made me look like an overstuffed sausage instead of my usual hourglass. If you're more of a rectangle/tomboy shaped, I think this would look awesome on you (especially if you like to show off your legs), but I do not recommend this for anyone who has big hips and large boobs!

Easy fit fall fave
Big bell sleeves and a flattering waistline makes this great for Fall weather. I loved the forest green color and how light the fabric was. I probably could've gone for a smaller size, especially bc I'm short, but my curves looked great in the L.

Fun, unique, comfortable
I'm short and curvy, which makes most jumpsuits unsuitable for me... but not this one! The string ties at the ankle and the waist allowed me to adjust a larger size down to fit my body. The color was fantastic-- everyone asked me where I got this from! My favorite thing was how comfy it was -- I wore it all day and felt great.

Like I'm on a Yacht
This jumpsuit runs large, but boy does it deliver! Really comfortable, easy to style up (heels, earrings, hair) or down (flats, sunglasses, etc). The fabric is breathable and glorious. I got comments from other women while I was walking down the street: "that jumpsuit is everything!" "can I stop you and tell you how good you look". I felt like I was famous and on a yacht.

Cool concept, itchy fabric
I wanted to wear this so much! But the fabric really didn't agree with my skin, which was especially an issue around the beautiful neckline. The color was beautiful in person. I wish I could have worn it.

Great fabric, BIG neckline
I thought I could do it. I read the reviews, heard how big the front neckline is, figured I would order a smaller size (M instead of L)... and alas! The fabric is thick and stretchy, the color and length are great, but the neckline. Ooof! The neckline! Too big, even for my generous bosom. I tried flipping it around as other reviewers suggested, but it didn't have the same impact. I'm sure this look will KILL on the right body shape, but it didn't work for me.

Easy to style
i loved the effortless style of this piece. It went with flats, heels, barefoot with a glass of wine! The ties help you create an hour-glass figure, and the wide pant legs make it really breathable. This is also one of those jumpsuits that is easy to put on by yourself and you don't need special underwear.

Classy, edgy, versatile
I wore this almost everyday for a month. I loved this jacket. The length was perfect on my short torso (with curvy chest and hips). The large collar gave me a trendy edge. The weight was great for New England's slow transition into Spring. And the leather felt and moved BEAUTIFULLY. I am dropping ALL the hints to my partner to buy this for me. I'll probably get a Large instead of an XL... so don't worry, there will be at least one size available for y'all to rent :)

Color, neckline, badass vibes
Gorgeous color. Honestly a one-of-a-kind piece. Wore it to a fancy cultural show at the Wang Theater in Boston, then to a tiki speakeasy, and this outfit worked in both settings. The neckline is a plunge: I wore some cool lingerie underneath to deal with my ladies (too big for tit tape). I loved the feel of the fabric but the hemline of the shorts really rolled up: they're not designed for thick thighs! Will likely rent again bc of the wow factor, but I'll have to find a solution for the thighs first.

Bold color, effortless glamor
This jumpsuit means business! The color is beautiful and the fit is casual. I have a short torso and curvy hips, so it was a little snug when I sat down but it was a real head-turner nonetheless! Didn't end up wearing it because the weather was too cold. Will definitely rent again!

No room for these ta-tas!
I REALLY tried to make this top fit me. The material is thick and luxurious, and the pattern is even nicer in person. But my chest simply COULDN'T fit in the bust area. There's a side zip, and the XL accommodated my pandemic-belly. But I couldn't get the zip to go up around my chest. It doesn't help that there's a tiny hook to keep the zip together, and there is absolutely no stretch in the fabric. Fabulous design, not for large ta-tas!

This dress is everything
I rented this before anyone else had written a review. I liked the high neck and the pattern on the website, and worried that it would be too small.... my worries were unfounded! This dress STRETCHES. I'm a curvy girl with big joy in the chest, and even bigger joy in the hips-- the medium more than accommodated my body! There's a dark blue slip inside the dress that is non detachable. You need the slip because the dress is very SHEER. The pattern is absolutely beautiful, and the fabric is very stretchy. The sleeves hook onto your thumbs so the fit stays sleek and the dress moves with your body. I'm short and the dress was a little long on me (but chunky mauve ankle booties solved that). I would probably rent a SMALL next time. I got hundreds of compliments in the dress, and my partner told me he had to up the ante with his outfit to "match the dress".

SO fun: a dress that turns all heads!
Loved the energy of this dress: even though it was a formal evening affair, I wanted something beyond the classic black or red floor-length gown, and this item DELIVERED. The body fit well, but the chest area was a little exposed/loose for my ta-tas. As other reviewers have suggested, I had to be creative with the straps at the back (they don't adjust!) to ensure people saw ME and not my girls on the dance floor. The ruffles flowed beautifully and everyone (including a very curmudgeonly janitor) commented on how pretty it was. It's too memorable for me to rent this dress again soon, but I hope to wear it in future!

Bright and fabulous
I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I LOVED this jumpsuit. It's brighter than my photo shows: a true lime green. The fabric is thick and stretchy... it ended up being a little too big around my waist and bust, so I wore a cute bralette with it. Received LOTS of compliments, felt amazing all night.

Not for apple shapes, or the larger bosomed lady!
Black looks great on everyone, right? Alas, if your body is not described as athletic (I like to call myself 'pillowy') this dress won't hang on you as it does in the pictures. I'm sure this looks great if you're a Jennifer Lawrence or a Lupita Nyong'o -- but if you're more Jennifer Hudson or Ashley Graham, this is not the dress for you.

Class, elegance, a real hit!
I'm a curvy lady, and a short one, so I ordered both the 10 and the 12. While the 10 was tight around my hips, the 12 fit perfectly. DVF knows how to make the most of a woman's curves, and this wrap dress was a HUGE hit. The colour was perfect for the elegance of an outdoor New England party, and the dress hung just right despite the sultry humidity. I felt so comfortable all night -- I wore nude (for a brown girl) open-toe sandals with a slight wedge, and the dress flowed beautifully around me. Plenty of room to eat in this dress too (!), as the wrap is very forgiving. Didn't want to give this dress back, and I'm already adding it to my RtR shopping bag for the next event :)

Gorgeous colour!
Fell in love with this dress online, but had some issues with it in person. Fabulous colour (literally everyone looks good in this colour!), and the lace detailing was pretty, but if you are a full busted girl... beware! This dress Would.Not.Zip.Up over my girls. I've worn sheath and body con dresses in size 10 and 12 from RTR, but this dress acted like it was a size 6 or 8. There's no give in the fabric (not even a little bit), and when I received the dress it was clear others had struggled with the zip before. That being said, if you size up and you don't have giant boobs, you'll probably look fantastic in this dress! It really is the prettiest colour.

Gorgeous sheath dress - deep v-neck makes it more suitable for a date!
I ordered the 12 with a back up size 10. Ended up not wearing either: 1) because the neckline on both dresses was too deep/open to wear at a wedding, and 2) the colours were so close to my friend's wedding colour-scheme that I went with another dress altogether. The 10 fit me like a dream, which I was surprised by because of my full bust. I'm short and the dress hit at mid-thigh. It's stretchy and forgiving, and not sheer at all. Would love to wear this for a date or a bachelorette party. Probably good for an outdoor wedding in a sunny location too.

Vintage and oversized look didn't suit my dress and event.
This would be a great piece to add to a daytime outfit in Miami or LA. It's BIG, bigger than I expected. It needs to be the celebrity of your outfit. Very light, it hangs quite high on the bust (even on the loosest chain link), and its vintage/weathered finishing would add a touch of glamour to a lunch/work date.
