Not for wide hips
Top part is massive but Bottom half is way too snug for wide hips or bigger booties. Couldn’t wear it

Very cute but not great on a big chest
Very cozy and cute. Light weight but not see through. Shoulder line is awkward on a large chest. Couldn't wear sleeves on shoulders or would be too revealing. I wore it but it wasn't my favorite. No pic unfortunately.

Gorgeous skirt but not great for wide hips
Fabric is amazing. Skirt runs true to size but I wouldn't recommend for wide hips. It kept buckling around my hip line and eventually left a line there even when I stood up. Would be perfection for narrow or normal hips.

Loved the top of this sress
Didn't take a full body shot. Wore it to work and loved it. The top is so unique. Bottom fits like a standard pencil skirt but has some stretch. Overall awesome for curves and could be worn for plenty of dress up or more everyday occasions.

Not made for wide hips
I had high hopes for this dress as it looks so fabulous. However, despite the size & fit notes, this dress does not work for wide hips. I figured even if it was a little snug that the wrap piece would hide that but I really couldn't make it work. I normally swing between an 8 and 10 and the large just did not work. Anyone with normal or narrow hips would love it.

Did it's job but not one of my favorites
I really don't think this dress works for hourglass figures. I thought it would work because reviews said it was stretchy material in the hips and plenty of room in the chest...which is true. However, I felt it was way to snug on my hips even with spanx and I had to keep pulling it down. Also, I really think there is just too much fabric in the chest. I have a 34DD and still had to use fashion tape to keep the ladies in check. Additionally, I was a bit disappointed in the color. Online it looks cream with bright colors. In person its more dark beige- almost brown and the colors look a little washed out. I am honestly wondering if someone ran it through the washer machine at one point because it almost looks like the colors bled but that could just be the way the dress looks. Overall, I wore it to a baby shower, liked it and even got a few compliments. But definitely not one of my favorites.

Super fun and comfortable
This was my first experience with Clover Canyon so I was a little hesitant with the loud design. I wore it to a daytime charity event in Miami and it definitely worked. The colors are so vibrant and fantastic. I wore it with Spanx to keep everything smooth and thought it really had a flattering effect with the scuba material for my curvy lady parts. I liked the A-line fit because even with my larger hips, the material didn't ride up much. I was worried it might be too long but it was just above my knee and looked very flattering. Will be renting Clover Canyon again...very cool designer.

Love the Vintage Vibe!
Very cool dress. People thought it was actually vintage. A bit snug in the chest but I am used to that and I don't think it showed to much. Wore it to a wedding in Memphis and thought it worked really well. Loved the flare of the skirt and the pockets. Paired it with the Ben-Amun Victorian Crystal Statement Necklace. I think it added to the vintage vibe.

Not for the big busts
The description says there is comfortable room in the bust. While technically my 34DD chest fit in the top, the line where the sheer fabric starts ran below my bra line so I definitely could not swing it. However, if you don't have that issue then its a very beautiful and neat dress.

Perfect dress for a low key summer wedding!
This dress was perfect. I was very worried about the fit since I have a 34DD chest. I simply ordered one size up from my normal and it was perfect. Very comfortable and fun. I wore it to my dad's outdoor country wedding and felt amazing, even with cowboy boots. As always, I <3 RTR!

Perfect for my rehearsal dinner!
We had our rehearsal dinner at a historic bar in the Colorado mountains. Thought this dress with some cowboy boots would be the perfect fit! The dress was perfect for a summer event. Great for an hour glass shape. I was worried I would feel over-exposed in the chest but it was perfect. I felt that it was a tad short but it worked out anyway since I was wearing boots.

I came into NYC from out of town. I had the dress delivered to my in-laws house in the city. I love not having to travel with a dress. Its there and freshly pressed when I arrive. I felt so comfortable and very sophisticated.
I wore this for a holiday party at my in-laws. Felt very flattering but very conservative. The length runs to the knees. Also, I agree with a previous renter for a large bust. I wear a 34DD and had to leave the clip open so obviously I wore a black tank top underneath. It still looked very sophisticated. Also, the collar does not stand up. It lays very flat. But I loved it overall.

I liked this dress for my large bust but for my wide hips it was a little challenging. The inside slip was much tighter than the outside so it kept making the dress hike up. Otherwise, I loved the color and the beading at the top but I wouldn't recommend for us girls with the baby birthing hips :)

I loved the color and the fit of this dress. However, I have a D-cup and definitely did not realize the slit in the chest would be soooo revealing. I would recommend it for a smaller chest or be prepared to show off some skin.

I absolutely love RTR. I use it for every event. People think I own a million dresses because I never show up in the same thing!
These were great! They are definitely a statement piece. I recommend wearing with a solid color dress. I wore them with a black dress in a play on Angelina Jolie's oscar outfit a few years ago. I got a lot of compliments. Also, even though they were large, they are not heavy so you can wear them all night with no pain.

Amazing Dress! I have a DD chest and kim kardashian booty and this dress made the curves look great. I didn't feel over-revealed in the chest either. Very comfortable. Easy to dance in. Received tons of compliments...even from complete strangers. Definitely recommend the dress.

I definitely got a lot of compliments in this dress. I feel like it was a bit long so it would be better for someone taller. It was great for the summer wedding I attended in it.

Height: 5' 6"

I rented this dress a size down because previous reviews said it ran large. The smaller size did fit but I would have much rather had my normal size so I think it is more "true to size." I definitely thought this was a fabulous party dress. I like the fabric, contrary to other reviewers. My only issue was that my chest felt a little over exposed. I have a D-cup and felt like all eyes were on those all night. So I would avoid if you have a larger chest- unless you are going for super sexy- then it would be perfect! Otherwise, loved the dress and thought it was super sexy and flattering on my Kardashian figure.
