I can't stop wearing it.
I don't know if all sizes are as broken in as this size 14 I've got at home (and can't seem to return because I love it so much) but this dress is so comfortable, it's a chic muumuu. Others have said it, but this is a casual dress... here are perfect situations to wear it 1. you ate too much and don't want to put on real clothes 2. it's 100 degrees out and you don't want to put on real clothes 3. you don't want to put on real clothes. I might keep this one. Seriously if I brought it on vacation I wouldn't wear any of my other clothes.

'you look like a Grecian goddess, with epic cleavage'
I mean, come on! this dress slays. be prepared to embrace your breasts. just wear an excellent bra and throw your shoulders back - did I mention you can wear a real bra? You can! miracle. Zipper was tricky but I don't even care, love love loved it.

Yes!
I loved this dress. I felt like a cool hippie to be honest but didn't want to tell you that because it sounds nerdy and not as bohemian chic as I'm trying to convey. I wore it to an architectural event and it was comfortable but still formal enough. I'm tall and this was a perfect length. The only problem I ran into was with the mesh upper, it was too much material and gathered/didn't lay right. If you have a long torso this might be a nonissue but I'm fairly proportionate and have a bust so I think this may end up being a concern for others- just a heads up, doesn't make it unwearable- but if you end up buying it that may be the one alteration you'll need. I want to buy this dress.

Floral Wisteria Gown

Tight in the ribs
There's a lot to love about this dress (the cut, the pockets, the length) but it didn't quite come together for me. The fabric is heavy as others have noted, it's a tapestry-like quality (brocade?) and although in the pictures it looks beige/cream, the background is more grey and has a cooler undertone which I wasn't mad about. It was also wicked tight in the ribs, corset-y. Wanted to love it, but didn't love it.

Nilo Dress

cool fabric, wanted it so bad
is it just me or do wrap dresses never quite fit right without fabric tape and a couple of safety pins? well I couldn't get this dress to lay in a flattering way without using pins and I wasn't about to bust up this pretty thing. if you're pear shaped you'll kill in this (because the fabric is really beautiful and lightweight, super vibrant and colorful... a little scratchy but they give you a slip). I didn't wear it. Shame.

I wore this for patriotic purposes.
So I was going to see bill Clinton at this book reading thing and i had a cute summery dress to wear... but then it started raining and didn't stop and there goes my wardrobe plan. In a miraculous early arrival my RTR shipment showed up with this dress inside (which I was going to wear to the theatre) and I was like yaaaaaaaas. And it is so chic and nerdy cool. The pleating and sheen along with the waistband hemming and the the drop waist hemming (not a seamstress can you tell?) made this the perfect outfit for a rainy cold early summer political event. I loved this dress. it was longer than I thought it would be, still, loved it. Might buy it. Can't stop thinking about it.

Navy Lianne Midi Dress

seriously, no drawstring, it makes no sense.
This dress is totally cute. Brunch and shopping, super comfortable, pleated bottom is adorable, upper is kind of basic. I would love this dress and wear it all the time, but as others mentioned it is not a drawstring. It's a stupid little decorative bow. Someone should modify this to a drawstring and make the perfect dress. Because it's lined on the bottom half under all the pleats - and that makes it heavy and it pulls the top half down - and when the top half gets dragged down, you immediately go from cool chic to dumpy. Like, immediately. Sad really. #giveusdrawstrings
