It gives "scarecrow"
But cute scarecrow. Warmer than expected.

Runs big, be careful of liquids
Liked the oversized look; was surprised when it picked up spots from liquid like silk- it didn't stay, but it was very reactive to the slightest moisture & dark spots took forever to dry

Gorgeous fabric
Makes for the classiest for Harry Potter, RBG or graduate Halloween costume. Pretty fabric, but I have a wish list for the cut.

Great for sunset photos
Beautiful against the sunset. Has pockets! There is a waist tie that was not clear in the photo, heads up. Love look that is created with the high start point of the buttons from the bottom. Note that the adjustable straps are flimsy, so the adjusters kept falling sideways and bunching the straps- consider adding a bit of fabric tape when you wear.

Love the cut, be careful of water
Really liked the cut of the arms/neck. Wore a racerback bra & worked perfectly together. I did get splashed with water while wearing & it did water-stain. Stay dry!

Heavier than a beach coverup
I ordered this, thinking it would be nice to wear to a beach dinner over a swimsuit. The fabric is much nicer than I thought it would be & ended up wearing it as a regular dress rather than over swimsuit. Ok to go smaller if you are hesitating between sizes.

BEWARE: None of the dozen bungees on this monstrosity will shape it into the dress in the photo
The dress featured in the photos is highly edited or a different dress. If you point this out to RTR, rather than auditing their inventory, they will say 'you should have looked at the reviews,' which do not exist for new products. I am a size S/M, SIX of me could have fit in this S dress, I measured. The photo I wanted to post was me and my 250 lb husband inside this stay-puff-marshmallow costume. The fabric is best described as stiff, waxy hospital sheet. It is covered in metal tipped bungees.

Modern, chic linen pant
Excellent, chic modern design -- Something David from Schitts Creek would wear. Lined well where it counts. Flattering length for 5'6". Could be improved if it came with someone who follows you around with a steamer. (Read: You will be wrinkly after a few hours unless you are only standing)

Bring your safety pins!
This was true to size & fit me just fine -- but over the course of the day, regardless of lack of pulling, the buttons kept coming undone! I recommend a safety pin at the top & around areas of movement (hips, knees). Super cute while standing still.

Great material, strange cut
Lovely lining, rich material -- the weight of this dress felt expensive, I was very optimistic. The cut is, unfortunately, odd. Construction just a little off - very tiny waist, very low cut for the overall conservative style of the dress, collar felt ad-hoc. I wore it once to work. Some people certainly could work it -- try it if you have a tiny wait and forgiveness for construction. Size up.

Beautiful statement necklace for photos
Looked great in photos! Did not look as nice underneath, but necklace laid flat always, so I didn't worry about it flipping up and looking cheap. For such a known brand, I really wanted to be bowled over, but this is on par with "nice costume jewelry." Just wasn't totally wow'd in person, but certainly did the job for the look I was going for in engagement photos.

Wonderful construction on gorgeous romper
I am 32/24/36 and 5'7" - even through I read the reviews (tight in the waist/chest and LONG) I thought, I'm a bit on the taller, skinnier side, should be fine. LOL, trust the reviews. The chest portion was snug & am 100% glad I planned on wearing heals. Made for gorgeous engagement photos though! The construction of the garment is wholly solid and had the rich look we were going for for photos announcing our special day. Standing photos much better than sitting, as the sitting ones did unflatteringly bunch up a bit in the hips.

Trendy dress, fit for Museum of Ice Cream
Wore this dress to Miami to visit family. I'm a D-cup, but braless with this was doable. If you are very petite, the straps may be long on you. I am 5'6" & experienced a little strap slippage, but not enough to be bothersome. Overall the construction was good, but I'm borderline on the $90 rental fee. The fee was a little high for what it was - it may be possible to buy a similar dress for less if you have time and could use a dress like this in your rotation. I am disappointed that only my positive reviews (many) get posted and my (one) negative review on a truly non-functional pair of earrings was not posted - I question the authenticity of RTR's review system.

Truly a wonderful gown. Wore to hospital fundraiser. Chic, but not without a bit of drama.
Wore without a bra - If you need one, I think sticky cups may do.

Easy basic for summer party outdoors
A little shorter and wider than I thought it would be - I'm about 135 lb, 5'6" and wore a size 2. Ended up belting it, but would have been fine with or without belt. In pictures it looked great!

Many compliments!
Dazzling dress with a lot of personality, received a lot of complements at an upscale wedding. Was a little worried that the hem was curlier that it had looked in the picture, but chalked it up to the style. High neck worked perfectly with an elaborate up do.

Too heavy to be clip ons
Beautiful earrings, but you can't turn your head without them falling off! Much to heavy to be clipped on - would have been fine if they were "pierced ear" earrings. Disappointed that I did not get to wear them with my outfit for fear of losing them.
