Beautiful comfortable dress
This was perfect for my post-wedding brunch. Fit my 36G chest fine with a strapless bra. I will say it is not forgiving to rolls and lines, the bulge from my bra was very apparent from the back. Wear with great shape wear!

I loved this jumpsuit! It was very comfortable and has pockets. It was surprisingly stretchy. I would happily wear this again.

Beautiful for bridal shower
This was gorgeous for my bridal shower! When I first tried it on without shape wear, I actually hated it. Definitely do the shape wear. I'm 5'7, 36G, and didn't near a bra. I couldn't wear it all day because it digs into your shoulders but worth it for a few hours imho

Short ladies this dress is for YOU!
I am 5'7". I got this dress for engagement photos and it was perfect to take pictures in HOWEVER if I tried to sit down or take a step I would flash everyone. It is way too short and for some reason it creeps up at the crotch.

Gorgeous, just too small
I really wanted to wear this dress, but the 52r was too small for my size 16 body. It's extremely form fitting.

Perfection
Wore this dress for a summer black tie optional wedding. It fit perfect, and the straps are in a way you can wear a bra with it. I was feeling very heavy before this wedding, but this dress minimizes the stomach and fits on a big bust. very comfortable as well.

Perfect fit
I love this dress so much! It's a bit heavy so the straps definitely dug into my shoulders but worth it!! Tried it on at the Chicago store and was pleasantly surprised how great it fit. Perfect for a fall wedding. No bra needed.

Very pretty, runs small
This was sent to me because one of my backup sizes was unavailable to ship. If they sent me the size up, I think it would have hidden my stomach well because of its kind of thick material. I don't think I would have needed a bra. Really cool looking dress glad I got to try it on, thanks RTR.

Good for big busts, bad for big stomachs
This is probably the only tube top dress that I could pull off (36G). Need REALLY good spanx for this dress because you can see the entirety of your stomach. Love the color and it was very comfortable but my backup looked better so I didn't wear it.

This dress is stretchy magic
I love this classy dress - I wore the pink version of it a few years ago and I love this blue one too. I hate wearing black to weddings. It hits the curves perfectly. I rented the regular (versus long) - I'm 5'7" ~180lbs and it was nice with 2 inch heels. Will rent again.

Looks better on
Didn't end up wearing it, tried on a size 14 at the store and ordered a 16. Didn't fit over my chest and I was nervous about looking like I had armpit fat. That said, it's really flattering for hourglass figure and definitely worth trying.

Pretty
Walked into RTR the day before a wedding to pair with a black off the shoulder jumpsuit so I wouldn't have to repeat earrings. A little heavy but very pretty, very happy with this choice.

Love this dress - good for busty women
Wore this to a January black tie optional wedding and I loved it! Stretchy and heavy material fit my hourglass figure & 36G fine without a bra. I paired it with a navy clutch and nude heels. I'm 5'7 and the L was surprisingly a little long for my low heels. It's a little heavy and as other reviews said, I had a red mark from the straps for 2 days following. Honestly, worth it. I had no problem dancing the night away and would definitely rent again

Simple, classy, stretchy
Wore this for a black tie optional wedding. Put on a lot of weight this year, but along with spanx this dress doesn't show it (at least I don't think) I really liked that you can move the straps up or down depending on how sexy you want to look - it's really low cut if you move the straps closer to your elbows, or much more family-wedding appropriate if you move them closer to your shoulders. I'm 5'7 and in low heels the dress didn't quite hit the ground. Very comfortable too - this was a great rental!

In a sea of black dresses, this one stood out!
Walked into RTR Chicago the day of a rehearsal dinner and found this gem. I'm usually an XL in everything, but the L fit my hourglass figure. A lot of space in the bust, stretchy material, extremely comfortable! Great for showing off your legs. Perfect color for Fall. Paired it with nude heels, nude purse, and rented gold and white statement earrings from RTR.

Perfect for a friend's bridal shower!
Practice putting this dress on before the event - wrap dresses are very tricky! Tried on the large in store which fit but was very open on the chest, ended up wearing the XLR. Loved this and already ordered it for another bridal party later this summer. I definitely needed an undershirt/bandeau. Ended up safety pinning the dress to make it more appropriate. Great dress for an hourglass figure, and with an undershirt for someone with a large bust as well.

Looks great in pictures
Very comfortable. Obsessed with this color! Has some weird lines in the front and does not hide the stomach at all. I didn't love how I looked in person, but worked out in most pictures. Great for hourglass figure.

LOVED THIS DRESS. So many compliments, no one had anything similar.
Amazing color and I am obsessed with the flower detail! Much more purple than the picture shows. Matched perfectly with my boyfriend's navy suit. It's a fitted dress, not stretchy at all. Very tight in the bust. It actually didn't really fit my bust (36G), I could not zip when wearing a bra. But I just adjusted and it ended up working by showing more cleavage. Hides rolls well on the front, recommend spanx for the back.
