I love this dress - so comfortable and you can wear it anywhere
the only reason I didn't buy it was because the front clasps kept coming undone and I had to pin the dress to keep it closed. The denim fabric is a bit heavy, but that allows the dress to stay looking nice and unwrinkled all day.

Great dress!
I rented this for my daughter for her semi formal. It was comfortable (it is lined in cotton jersey) and so cute. She loved it.

Perfect for a summer wedding
The dress was so comfortable and easy to wear. It is very sheer, but comes with a white slip underneath. The dress did not arrive with the cute orange belt, but RTR was very apologetic and I just wore a skinny black belt. The dress bloused over it so it was not impactful at all. This is one of my favorite RTR dresses ever, even without the belt. Best of all, the dress has pockets!

Perfect for a bridal or baby shower!
The dress is lower cut than the RTR photo implies, so I had to wear a camisole underneath. Other than that, the dress is very comfortable and easy to wear. I kept it to wear to two different events - a bridal shower and a graduation luncheon. I did think that it made me look a bit heavy in some photos, possibly because of the way I had it tied the second time I wore it. Regardless, I got tons of compliments, and it moves beautifully. It looks very dramatic when you are walking and the dress flows out behind you.

Fun festive sweater
As other reviewers noted, it is very heavy. And it is a bit short. But it is a fun sweater for a night out, with jeans or black pants.

Great idea - but not as cute on
I loved this in all of the photos, but it was not flattering on me at all. I was swimming in the medium.

Gorgeous Special Occasion Dress
I loved this dress, but sized down for my backup and I should have sized up. I couldn't get the zipper all the way up!

I love this so much that I can't bring myself to return it
I wear this with everything - jeans during the day, black pants for a date night, black skirt and silk top for a luncheon. It is very light weight, so don't get this counting on winter outerwear.

Gorgeous and sexy
My husband loved this dress. The top is more low cut than the picture suggests. I was wearing it to a conservative dinner and ended up putting a cardigan sweater over it to give myself a little coverage. It looked great with the sweater too. For a cocktail party, I would have left it bare. I felt great in it, you look sexy and it hides the tummy! And best yet - it has pockets!

Comfortable, easy to wear, and hides all the trouble spots!
I loved this dress so much I bought it. It is hard to find a dress with sleeves, but light enough that you could wear it all year long.

It was the perfect top for Florida in the fall.
Comfortable to wear, and I got tons of compliments. I would rent it again!

Cute jacket!
I kept this one for a while, and never ended up wearing it - mostly because I live in Southern California and the weather never got cold enough. The cuffs at the sleeve were a little snug, and you wouldn't be able to wear this over a sweater - but it is a great red and a cute cut.

Great utility dress!
This dress is a good one because it is super versatile - it can go daytime (I wore it for a school event) or for date night, you can wear it with flats or with boots for winter. As others have noted, the sleeves are a little puffy - which is the only reason I'm not buying the dress now. But I've kept it for longer than most simply because it is such an easy dress to throw on.

It was comfortable and a great statement top.
The small fit perfectly. I didn't struggle with it riding up the shoulders like other reviewers did. It is a bit more sheer than I expected, but not so sheer that it required anything under. I felt stylish and on trend, and though I think it looked cute in real life - it didn't photograph well. It looks boxy in the photo, which makes me wish I had tucked it in. It would look super cute with dark jeans or black pants too.

I got so many compliments on this dress!
It is very flattering (hid my tummy perfectly), and the colors are fun. It was as comfortable as it was cute. I will definitely rent it again.

It was really pretty, although the fabric wrinkles a lot. And it has pockets!
I first tried the 6, but couldn't get the zipper up. The 8 fit perfectly (although the zipper was still tough, which makes me think maybe I should have tried harder with the 6). Regardless, I wore it to two different daytime events, and both times I got a ton of compliments. The dress is VERY flattering - it made my waist look tiny. I would definitely rent it again.
