Awkward for curvy women - didn't work
I have rented this "style" in the dress and absolutely love it. But the jumpsuit, is just unflattering on a shorter curvy woman. I'm a 6/8 and wore the 8 in the dress (w a little room). All that was in stock was the 46/10 but other reviews said to size up - and it puckered out at the back, was big in the stomach and snug in the chest. Unflattering for someone with an ample chest (I'm 34DD). I was bummed to not be able to wear it at all, even had a jacket to try and make it work, but no go.

Ridiculously small
So disappointingly small - couldn't even button over my rib cage which I normally do not have an issue in sizing. Perhaps not meant for those with an ample chest? I returned immediately. Also, rather unattractive in person - I didn't get the same Mary Poppins charm/feel mentioned in other reviews.

Originally rented the Lg, returned it and purchased the Md.
Loved this dress - such a forgiving fabric and fun pattern. The sleeves are long, but I didn't mind folding/pushing them up. And with it being a wrap dress, being able to tighten it made it so flattering. I've worn it with suit jackets, a pull over sweater, dusters, but always w tights and boots/heels and receive compliments every time. In Chicago it can be worn pretty much every month except for around two of the really hot ones, otherwise, this dress is versatile enough to be year round! The large was definitely too large so I returned it and contacted rtr and they sent a med so that I could purchase that. So happy I own it!
Checkered Wrap Dress

Was able to wear for a memorial and for work
This dress was deceiving - it looked large - so much so that my friends asked if I could size down, but the arms were so tight I couldn't actually raise them up without fear of ripping the dress. But it was a beautiful dress on, and very flattering. I would rent again (perhaps a larger size if it didn't look too large).

Runs a little short, but another great DVF wrap!
I've become a fan of DVF wrap dresses, but this one runs shorter/smaller than some of the others and the fabric isn't as forgiving. Still, I loved it and wore it with tights and boots several times. I'd rent again! #dvfwrapsrule
