Didn't fit in the bust! Definitely not for women with breasts. I tried to get this to work - adjusting straps, unsnapping buttons, but there was nothing to be done. When it's too tight the fabric wings up so the top won't lay flat and looks even more ridiculous. The waist and hips fit well, so a larger size probably wouldn't help!

This dress adds 30 pounds. The large print with the length means your hips look MASSIVE. I'm pear shaped to begin with, but this cut should be flattering and instead with the large print just makes you look huge. I didn't even wear it, it was that bad.

Needs a camisole / full body spanx. The cut-out is just unnecessary and a strange part of the body to show- I mean the armpit side of the ribs is about as unsexual as it gets and not flattering. The cut is odd so it's not the most flattering from the side if you have a curved spine / butt that protrudes. It's not so unflattering that it's unwearable as there's good movement and the fabric is gorgeous, but don't plan on it for a date night if you want something more fitted! It's more airy boho than anything.

This dress ran large in the bust and tighter around the hips. I probably could have squeezed my hips into the size 4 and then the top would have fit in a more flattering way. As it was it was okay - but would have looked more cool in the right size. I love the slits and it's definitely a fun take on the little black dress that's sexy in an interesting way. Perfect for a show and then drinks out in NYC. I'd consider trying a smaller size for another event.

Mixed feelings about this dress. I wanted something to go work --> dinner date. I needed a tank under this dress because it was a little too busty otherwise. The big issue for me was that it's actually a "wrap dress" type thing. The fabric buttons on the internal part of the dress and can't be adjusted. The problem is the dress can leave you totally exposed because it's not wrapped across you very far - only to the belly button - it didn't reach my other leg at all. This means your paranoid when sitting down or in any windy areas that you'll be left naked up to your hipbone on one side. Otherwise the dress is a little voluminous - I solved this with a sweater that hid the wideness of the top. It's A-line so still flattering and the pleats work well and don't make you look huge. The fabric is wool so winter appropriate. The style is girly but professional. I felt pretty and conservative all in one without feeling like it looked old and stuffy or too sexy.

Wore a teal tank under so that it was daytime appropriate. Otherwise it's super low. Looks much better in person than in photos. The detailing are worthy of the price. The fabric and color are quality and the pleats don't add bulk. It's a flowy dress but somehow flattering in a modern chic artist type way.

Fit is slightly small in the butt and hips compared to other RTR size 6s. The print is awesome - youthful and modern with a little twist. The sleeves are a little more "flutter" than laying totally flat, but they're not too outrageous. The fabric is more structured but still lightweight - good for fall. Length is flattering as is the waist. The dress does crease with prolonged sitting.

Loved this dress. Perfect mixture of feminine, professional, and elegant. The dress isn't cut too low, it's not too short with slightly more length in the back, the print isn't too aggressive, and the skirt is flowy A-line without too much excess material. It's a more vintage cut that I think is underutilized given it's feminine, easy to wear, without being so A-line that it's super young. It's fitted in the waist and bust so emphasizes that you're a woman without being restrictive in the butt/hips making movement easy. Perfect for pear shapes, though great for anyone.

Fun dress. Great color, not too short. I loved the detailing on the waist and the waist was well fitted, slimming, and wide enough to lay flat. Also, it actually hits at the waist. A-line, so pockets didn't change the silhouette at all and just added to the fun. Con: It is extremely deep and does not lay flat over the bust. I'm a 32D, the back size would not change the ability of the dress to lie flat - I think maybe a B cup or below would be okay! Still, since I was wearing a camisole underneath, I was okay with the puckering of the top - but it's not a perfect look!

Fun party dress. The color shading is great for girls with more of a pear shape. Quality of the dress isn't great. The fabric is thin so expect to have the lines of your bra showing or wear a strapless backless bra. Not a huge fan of the line down the back of the dress, but I know it's the style - I find it a little skanky. Overall, I think the quality of the dresses by this designer are overrated - the fabric is very thin and the stitching isn't great, but it was a fun dress to wear once.
