Showstopper
These two pieces together are perfect! Be sure to read reviews on sizing. For instance, the top is a perfect fit but with very little wiggle room. I had to order an extra large. I did so based on the other reviews, and that was totally accurate. Everyone in the office commented on this outfit. It’s a keeper.

Perfect summer work dress
The fit is formfitting, but I liked that about the dress. No bursting buttons it really was just perfect. I wore this to the office and easily could’ve worn this too a lunch brunch or fun date. I love club Monaco. The length was also perfect because that can be difficult when you’re only 5’2”

Too transparent
I didn’t wear this dress because the material is more see-through than I would’ve liked and I felt washed out in the color combo.

Love color and fit
This is a fantastic shape to complement someone who might be an apple shape like me. Gave the appearance of a waist. I really liked it. My only complaint would be is it really did need to be ironed to make it a bit more crisp.

Didn’t get to wear but fun
Good fit. The fabric and the way it laid seemed a little bit weird, but I took it off time to figure it out. Had good stretch and I think that this could’ve fit a 10

Runs small
I really wish I could’ve worn this because the material and fabric were nice. I included a picture so you could see how it fit on my body. I’m 52 and about 147 pounds. It would’ve been fine lengthwise but if you have maybe a larger rib cage Like me it’s not gonna make it all the way around. I suppose I could’ve worn it with a little cami underneath, but I think that would defeat the purpose and point.

Fashion and function
Even though these are a great fashion statement, I felt like they gave great protection in the sun. I absolutely loved wearing these! And I did almost keep and buy them however, the case that it came in was really in rough condition. The glasses make a nice statement and got a lot of compliments.

Great LBD for summer
Perfect fit. Really loved this. Even in summer! Still had a little wiggle room in this dress without it being too big or bulky, but also not too tight. Would do well in other seasons too Just right!

Nice fit and chillax
I wore this just because I needed to get my fit in. Great casual dress. Actually thought about keeping it. Was fine with a strapless bra which was a good thing. Little bit heavy but I liked a more substantial fabric without being too hot

Fit like a glove
Needed help zipping in but oh my did this dress work & fit perfectly ! Wore it to a derby event and was on point for that spring/summer vibe. Material thick but moveable, comfortable and laid nicely. Loved the dress and bought it during a RTR sale.

Sizing is wrong but absolutely gorgeous dress
At 5’2” 148lbs, a 12 wouldn’t even closely zip up. I usually wear an 8/10 so thought for sure a 12 would have fit. I’m only a b cup but am heavy in the ribs at 38b. Being so new, wasn’t enough reviews to keep me away. This dress is STUNNING! Material is so premium. I’d love to try again but honestly not sure a 14 would fit and would hate to waste another slot on bad sizing by designers.

Huge
I read reviews wrong or maybe there wasn’t similar body reviews at the time and sized up which was a big mistake. While I often and a size 8 (10) and medium, based on designers it’s so important to have other examples of people reviewing with similar measurements. (Please more 5’2” girlies!). I was SWIMMING in the large and def could have gotten a small. Didn’t wear. But would have!

Love the style and structure
I loved the uniqueness of this shirt. Tanya’s skirts have great form so you can actually see the design and materials. I wore this a few times including shopping on the weekend as well as for work. I paired it with a RTR top from club Monaco and the bag is RTR also. Waist a bit snug but not a deal breaker.

Loved it so much I kept it
The sneaky empire gives a nice shape to the upper body with the flow of the rest of the dress, oh my I just loved it! I kept to wear as a casual dress. I think this would be appropriate for every day as the vibe is easy going. I also loved the deep v neckline. Attractive without being too revealing.

Make the room sparkle
I loved the stretchy fit. Not too heavy and the right length on a floor length down on this 5’2” girl! Felt amazing. Be careful hugging anyone bc the sequins are still sequins, they catch. This was a fabulous look and I felt great. Also something to be said for not having to cover up straps or worry about body parts falling out.

Versatile and fun
Really love this little vest, and I’m not a vest person. The material was really nice plus an interesting cut and style. A coupled this with another Rent the runway outfit and thought it went really nicely with the pink set. Wore this in other ways for both work and casual. Would absolutely consider purchasing this one.

Sophisticated and silky
Some dresses just make you feel a little prettier than others, and this is one of them. Typically, I’m not a fan of cold shoulder type of cuts, but the way this is done so precisely, it’s in my opinion elevated and elegant. Nothing but compliments on the dress and, it fit like a glove. Also, really nice is that you could have a statement piece without having to get a special bra. Fitted without being tight, I’m 52 and 146 pounds, thicken the ribs lol.

It’s silk
There must be some thing about how you feel in a silk dress that people can see it. Although this dress is seemingly simple, the tie feature is very “interesting.” I’m actually not sure if I even had it tied correctly, but no matter what the effect works, and it fit perfectly. When I got this and started to slip it on I honestly thought there’s no way this is gonna fit me. But somehow it did and I’m so glad. I wore this to an international women’s day event and literally women would come from across the room to complement the dress. So again something to be said for the simplicity of it all.

A little itchy but nothing that I found too distracting. I also really liked the shorter waist on it so you would be able to show off a belt or something that you want wasted.

Can't tell you how many compliments ! I'm a solid 20W and sometimes 18W. This fit great with shapeware for my full apple shape. Form fitting and I'd recommend some fashion tape or a deep cut bra for underneath but can va va va boom. Loved!

Didn't wear because the leg didn't cover my shoe. I'm only 5'2" and didn't like the appearance of my feet in a heel. Made me look rounded instead of longer.

Perfection and get noticed
I love well fitting plus size wear for someone like me at 5'2". I'm round in the middle and need some flare in my life. Wore for a cocktail in the spring and I loved being a bright light in a sea of monochrome. Check out earrings too. They're from RTR too!

Plus size dream
I say, runs big but that's just so you plus ladies know it has good stretch. Most of time in formal wear, I need a 20, but was able to wear the 18. I'm an apple shape so there's no hiding my roundness but I took a chance and felt fabulous. So many compliments and eyes on me for this evening. What a feeling to by plus and have a designer dress! Easy wear ladies, big impact when you walk in the room.

Really beautiful dress great color, and the bow offset really makes a nice difference. Unfortunately if I showed you the backside of this photo you would see it completely open back that doesn't see it. There's no stretch or give in the material and the cut is obviously too small for anyone with a bust
