Feels like you are in the tropics!
I LOVE this dress. The pattern makes you feel happy and regardless of where you are...you will feel like you are in the tropics. It is a lightweight material. I was concerned that the long sleeves would be too hot in humid South Carolina. They were not. The tie at the waist has adorable fluffy detailing on the ends. I will be wearing aging before I return! I got a medium. If I get again. I might get a small as it is a little large.

Amazing material!
I received this NWTs....sigh it was really small in the chest. It flattened me out horribly. There were only 2 reviews when I got this so I was unsure how it would go. The body of the dress is very loose fitting. The material is fantastic. I DO have a chest. So if you do as well then I'd probably not rent this one. I am bummed as it is fantastic!

I was not familiar with this designer until RTR. I got the bag brand new! I do not like a large purse so this was perfect. I would have kept longer, but the purse is very narrow so it is hard to put your hand in it and see the contents inside. I love the crocodile look and felt like it upgrade even the most casual outfit.

Frumpy
Tried on tonight....and will send back tomorrow. The material is wonderful but this is doing absolutely nothing for me. I am curvy and it made me feel sooo frumpy.

A lot going on!
I didn't end up wearing this. There is this odd gather below the waist line and above the hips every 4 inches or so around the dress. It hits in an extremely unflattering spot. That along with a lot of different prints was just a lot going on. I really read reviews thoroughly before I order anything. It was just weird.

Gorgeous Fabric
The fabric is really lovely! It is not light. It is heavy and lined. Unfortunately I didn't wear as it was small under the chest area in a 4 and I couldn't zip. I guess I can call that the chest as well. I felt like a size up would have been too "gappy" in the upper chest SO...I wouldn't reorder the next size. I'm 5.41/2 and I feel this is a bit too long.

I love the sleeves. Unfortunately I didn't wear this. I'm a curvy girl and it was just too short. As several other reviews mention. There is this weird gap in the belly button area. The tie and cinching can cover it. I also would needed a bralette or shirt as the chest area had a huge dip in the front. DIDN'T wear...

Dreamy! but tiny in the chest
Sigh...LOVE this dress...so did my hubby but my "girls" didn't. So I couldn't wear. I'm sending it back and hopefully can get it in a larger size. I'm 5.4 and 1/2 but have a longer torso and chest. I could zip this and it looked amazing but the sheer gauze of front just squeeze the girls in too much. I think a size up from a 10 to 12 would be perfect. I'm normally a 6 and occasionally a 4. ++UPDATED++ I ordered again but in a 12 (keep in mind the italian sizing) It was SPECTACULAR! It was about 1/4-1/2 inch bigger in back and chest than the 10. Everyone LOVED it. It is sexy. I felt like a million bucks and will be hanging on to this one for a bit.

Thick beautiful cotton!
I love Alexis. Per usual this Alexis dress is short especially if you are curvy. This material is really wonderful. I didn't wear this dress as I was not comfortable with wear the seam hit my rear. It hit right where it "pops." If you have a booty you know what I mean. That wasn't too bad but this dress has this flaps that are just a bit odd. If you have more of a straight figure then it might be a better fit. I am bummed as it is really nice looking. I normally wear a medium. I was concerned that this dress would be too straight of a fit. While it did fit, I just didn't like where is hit on the skirt part.

You can't go wrong with an animal print accent.
I didn't wear this.....sigh. It is a unique fit. I had a size 40. In coats, I usually wear a medium. It is roomy so I would have had room for a sweater in my shoulders and mid section. I am curvy. What made me not wear it, is where the bottom of the coat hit. It hit in that spot in the middle of the hips and not flattering. It is very straight. So cute but I needed it to be longer ...OR shorter.

The fabric and embroidery are lovely.
I didn't wear this. If it hit at the at, above, or just below the knee I would have worn it. The fabric at the bottom is a pink check. I felt little house on the prairie like. It was a little large in the skirt. However, there is a lining the only goes to mid thigh. So a smaller sizer would probably have made the liner too snug yet the rest of the dress would have had better lines.

The fabric is lovely but too much for a curvy girl.
I didn't wear this. It did nothing for a 5.4 and 1/2 curvy girl. I did belt it but still....the sleeves were just too much. I think if you are tall and thin this is a winner. I felt circus tent-ish.

The pictures don't do it justice!
Such a beautiful dress and silhouette! The sleeves are beautiful and are slightly shear with embroidery. I wear a 4 in other Saloni. I ordered a size up 6 as this looked like a narrower fit. It is just too narrow of a fit for me. Bummer as it is a wonderful dress :-)

The sleeves are fabulous!
I didn't want to return this! It pairs nicely with jeans and leggings. It has an asymmetrical bottom. I normally wear a small top and this medium was still tight in my shoulders but fine everywhere else. If the price was right I would have kept this top. I have never worn this designer Alexis before. I'm a fan!

I love Rebecca Minkoff handbags and was excited to wear this dress. You can easily dress it up or down with boots or heels. The sleeves are fantastic. This dress is flirty and so fun. My husband loved it and I received compliments from strangers.

So flattering!
I ordered a size M due the reviews here are RTR and they are SPOT ON! This does run small. The fabric is like a sweater dress and high end! It's so comfortable. You can dress this up or down. Unfortunately, this dress came unlaundered smelling of another RTR members perfume and body odor. While I didn't get to wear it, I will order again. Trina Turk is awesome!

The photo doesn't do this dress justice!
Wow! This dress is wonderful! My Mother really went nuts over is and she is a fashionista. It was a great end of the season dress for Labor Day weekend. Once again RTR has exposed me to a designer that I had not worn prior to being a "member." This dress is white with lovely eyelet detailing. It was a little snug in my shoulders. It was very loose in the hips and well....I have hips! LOVED!

A romper for curvy girls!!
This runs VERY large. The top is very loose. I ordered a 2 and always wear a 4-6. I would love to try the zero. I was so comfy, but it didn't do anything for me. Unfortunately, I didn't get to wear it as the seam in the leg of one of the shorts was out. I may get again in a smaller size. It was so comfortable!!

Beautiful material!
Sigh....this was just TOO short on one side. I am curvy and this did fit me but I couldn't deal with how short the one side is. It is a very special dress and you will feel like a million bucks if you can pull it off! It's made exceptionally well. Be sure to size up even two sizes. It's tiny!

Not too dressy or too casual...Just RIGHT!
I would love to buy this dress. It's wonderful. There is a bit of stretch in the fabric. At first, I thought it would be a little tight in the shoulders. The fabric gives so it was comfortable and a perfect fit. It appears shorter in my photo only due to the angle. The younger gals at the restaurant we went to all loved it. The only thing I did not like is the sash / belt it's very thin. There are details on the dress you cannot see in any of the photos. This is a great one!

One of my new favorite designers!
This is so cool! This was my "travel" out fit. I like to look nice when flying and this was fantastic! I wore it to lunch on vacation as well. The ticketing agent from American went nuts over it. She called a few of her friends over to check it out. My Mother said I HAD to buy it. The stripes are preppy but the cut is not. I will rent this again.

The fabric is very light and soft.
This was really large in the chest but fit every where else just fine. It is just very average looking. The other reviews were great so I ordered this with my unlimited. I didn't wear it. It did nothing for me and I found it to be kind of house coat ish.

The colors, cut, and style are wonderful!
This runs very small on top. This was very tight on top. So I was unable to wear it. I think Milly must run small. I wish I had a 6 to try but it was part of my unlimited so I didn't wear it. I had plenty of room in the hips. If a dress doesn't fit me, it is usually because of my hips. This was the opposite situation.

The detailing on this dress is fantastic!
This designer will be added to my favorites. The dress is adorable. The detailing on the top ruffle and on the bottom are beautiful. When I first tried it on I was blown away about how well it fit. Then I put it on for my husband and he noticed something I did not. The cut out on the back of the dress are a little higher than the front....so I had a little bottom that could easy show with some movement....I will rent this designer again but I can't get this style. I have a longer torso and am curvy so with the cut outs, I opted for a bigger size.

I LOVE this dress. I received compliments from people I didn't know.
I'm curvy and this did feel a bit large in the hips. But, it was so comfortable. The fabric is thick so I didn't feel the need to wear a bra. It does need a sash or belt. Next time I might order the 2. I may end up buying this. It is a very classic timeless dress.

This is beautifully made! It was not flattering to my 5'4" curvy figure. The sides hung very low so wearing a bra was not an option for me. I might have been able to go down a size but am on unlimited so I only go the one size.
