One of my favorite MK looks, EVER!
I was lucky enough to rent this brand new, and it did NOT disappoint. Flawless, classic, and an easy option to complement just about any cold-season look. Dress it down with jeans and knee-high boots or dress it up with your favorite LBD and sling backs; it looks great for every occasion. I seriously felt so put together in this, and it will hands-down remain one of my most favorite rented looks to date!

Beautiful & Unique
This is a gorgeous look, and it would have been perfect but for the fit across the rib cage, which barely zipped and felt so tight it was difficult to take a full breath. At 34C, I’m not “thick” or abnormally large in that area (think your empire waist location) but the dress was extremely uncomfortable and difficult to enjoy eating in for my dinner date. I loved the dress, or perhaps the idea of it, and it is extremely well-made, but I was relieved to unzip it at the end of the night. Key takeaway? If you are large-chested in any way, (band OR cup size) and plan to eat whilst wearing, definitely consider sizing up!

Difficult to put on/take off but GORGEOUS
Form-fitting, TTS, stretch, perfect length at 5’5.” That said, SO hard to put on and take off. Worth it, because it’s insanely good quality, but really difficult for coordination. Material is thick and ribbed, very well-made.

Absolutely stunning! Endless compliments!
Fitted, no stretch. Adjustable-tie waist just under bust. GORGEOUS open back with upper back spaghetti string tie. Sleeves are a smidge short but I think that's intentional? Cusps are elastic. Perfect length with 3" inch heels. Several women stopped me to compliment the dress throughout the two-hours event I attended. Would have purchased if less pricey. Definitely a keeper once it is! Don't think twice!

Cute crop top but difficult to style!
Definitely more cropped than I anticipated, very fitted, and sleeves are shorter than they appear in other photos, so going back in time I’d have actually purchased a SM instead of XS as, although I am vertically-challenged, my torso is a bit longer. (34C, 104 lbs, size 0 at time of this post). I’m voting “too” small primarily because of that, but the reality is that my idea of the fit could just be personal preference and a matter of the designer’s and fabric’s fit profile. It could easily fit another XS person just fine! Regardless, it’s very stretchy so there is generous give in the bust. It has a really neat pattern with bright but not overwhelming color and vibrance, although I’m struggling with how to successfully style it. It is, however, just light enough for me down in FL in the “fall” that it’s warmer without being overwhelming or stifling. And that’s hard to accomplish on days when our weather is drunk!

A Dress for all Occasions!
Absolutely love this dress, so much so that I bought it! Other reviews highlight the discomfort they experienced with the halter tie/string, and although it wasn’t necessarily comfortable, it was far better than I’d expected. Regardless, still very tight up top. Neckline curves fairly low over the bust, so be careful about n*p slips! I wore pasties and it worked out well. I am 5’5”, 109 lbs and a 34C; I wore it with wedges and it skimmed right above the ground, perfect length! The area under the bust has a boning structure of sorts, and has zero stretch in that area, so if you have a larger ribcage or plan to eat a lot, I’d recommend sizing up. Otherwise, I’d say it was TTS and fit me perfectly. Absolutely gorgeous dress for just about any occasion, and I’ll definitely wear it again!

Gorgeous, timeless, classic look!
I’m 5’5”, size 0/2 depending on the designer, and weigh between 105 and 110, depending on what time of the month it is. I’ve had two kids via c-section, which I think is important to note for this dress. First off, it is absolutely GORGEOUS and the pictures don’t do it justice. The level of detail is amazing. That said, it is a little bit scratchy where the lace meets skin, specifically around the neck. Not so much that it cut me or gave me a rash, but def something to keep in mind. Also, the mid-section (where my c-section scars are) offers zero give and despite fitting every other part of me perfectly, the dress’ lack of stretch made it a bit uncomfortable in that area. I skipped dessert that night! 😉 All in all, I’m probably going to end up keeping it; it’s an amazing, timeless piece that is perfect for just about any occasion-you will not regret renting it!

Perfect for short girls!
I’m 5’5”, and I would say this is as short as I would go with a romper. But the length was spot-on for me, and even the fit in the waist and up top was great. It looked great with wedges as well as sneaks, and it held up against a full day of heavy travel in Greece! The material has a bit of stiffness which was nice because it kept its form despite the heat (and sweat), and the top v-neck has a small button on the underside panel, to keep your girls from making a show. Unfortunately, the tie does fold into itself easily instead of remaining flat, and creates an accordion look, but honestly, it didn’t bother me and didn’t affect the romper’s functionality. I absolutely loved it, so much so that I bought it!

Cute, easy look for vacay
Definitely grab this for your next tropical vacay or beach day! It’s an easy look to pull together, but I’d recommend wearing a belt with it to snatch your waistline, else it’s a bit of a boxy fit. There is, as many others have said, very little stretch, if any. The material is thicker, reminiscent of your fav sweatshirt, so not super breathable. It has cuffed “sleeves,” if you can call them that, but they are very small in width, and it’s essentially sleeveless. Also, it’s definitely VERY short. I’m 5’5” and this was honestly as short as I’d go for a dress. I did buy this one, however I wish I’d just rented it as it’s not one of my most favorite looks from RTR. Regardless, it was fun to wear out for a night out in Greece!

Stretch and comfort!
This is a super tight fitting material-think spandex - but it is extremely thick and of a high quality, keeping everything in place without seeing wrinkles or underwear lines. It fit really well, I wasn't popping out despite my being a 34D, and at 5'5" it was the perfect length with a low heel. I am 112-114 lbs and of athletic build for reference. I wouldn't recommend this length for anyone with any amount of hips (I have none) as it will significantly cinch the pant legs up. Got a lot of compliments! Only con is, as everyone has said, difficulty in pulling it down to use the restroom, but I did it - with a 1 year old in my arms- so you can make it work if you want it badly enough (and you should!) Would definitely rent again.

This skirt is a scene-stealer! Endless compliments!
Definitely runs small and long. First pic is my best friend, who, after seeing mine (second pic), decided she, too, had to have it. Although the SR fit, I wore the MR so that I could feel comfortable for the photo shoot with a toddler. My friend wore an xL, and she is 5'8", 165 lbs.
