Perfect for holiday parties!
Wore on Thanksgiving day and was a hit! Lovely material and great on the waist (note I have a small waist!).

Beautiful fit and material
I bought this to wear for everyday winter weekday dinners and drinks and I kept it for ages! Always got compliments when wearing. Looks great with black tights and boots as well as bare legged with heels. Great length (at 5"9 it came above my knees but was not 'short'). Note, if you're larger chested this will be very 'chest-y'. For me at a C it was great for social events!

The best summer bag!
Rented this thinking I'd use it once. Kept it for months. Here's why: First up it's yellow-yellow, no hint of lime green (which is good for me!) Secondly it's a nice size, (not one of those tiny bags that just fits a phone and a few cards) Third, it's just gorgeous. Got so many comments on it. Paired it with everything from a nice red dress on a night out, to a blue coat (pops so well there) and up-levelling everyday jeans. It's going into Autumn and I still can't let go of this one!

Great fit and beautiful flow
Got this yesterday and already obsessed with it. Nicer than I thought it would be. It's a perfect autumn dress with material that is flow-y but also warm enough. It's thick enough to wear with no bra if that gives an indication! Fits wise, I am usually a 4 and went for a 2 and it is the perfect size. But the reason for that is that the only place that's really 'fitted' is the waist - so judge the size by your waist size. If you have a smaller waist (like me), keeping it as your normal size or going one size down is a great move. If not then you may want to size up. Length wise, it's true to the photos here. I'm a bit over 5"9 and the length was spot on, exactly like you see in the photo on this page (long but not touching your feet). In short, a keeper!

Great travel / vacation / small beach bag
Such a great bag! Heads up it is not big - think space for a book, sunglasses case etc rather than a towel. Looked great, beautiful construction. Had this by my side for almost every day in Caribbean.

Such a great dress (sized down).
I just got this and wanted to review as I had been unsure about sizing (some reviews say size up and some say size down!). I am usually a 4 (and sometimes a 2) but only the 0 (size 36) was left so I got that... and it's a PERFECT fit! I would not size up. I am 5"9 and the just a little above the knee length is great. There is loads of hip room too. I do have a small ribcage, so take that into account when sizing as that's the area where this dress is really fitted to! Really easy dress to wear, planning on taking it on vacation and also wearing it around town for the next few weeks.

Great for the holidays!
I wore this a few times for end of year holiday events and it was a fun addition. I'm not usually into black or sequins but still liked it so if you are, then this is a nice one! It's a good fit on the shoulders but it is roomy inside aside from that.

These are a great fit, hug just right and get that smart casual look bang on. Plus: comfortable. I rented them for the holiday season after trying them on in the RTR store - and kind of want to keep them a bit longer!

Nice little black bag
I kept this one for a while and carried it daytime and for evening events. It's sleek, well made, and you can't really go wrong with this one. It fits more than you might expect (a slightly wider than average small bag).

So comfortable and easy to wear
I basically want to live in this dress these days (looks better in person than in the photos too). Before renting I read a review that said it feels like pajamas and I thought "what do they mean?" and then I got the dress - and guess what, it feels like you're wearing pajamas. The fabric is so soft and the fit so easy that it feels like you're secretly wearing laze-about clothes - while looking like you're wearing a pretty dress. And who doesn't like that? Buying this one :) PS: some reviews mention issues with the chest being exposed and needing to wear something underneath - I was happy to see I didn't have that experience at all (34C) so it depends on your body shape.

Nice dress, solid choice
Nice dress and comfortable fit. I was worried it would be too revealing at the front but it definitely wasn't. It wasn't a completely ideal fit for me - I might have been better in a XS - but I worked it out with the belt loop :) Wore it twice and got nice comments both times!

Not a fit...
I wanted to like this dress but it has such a strange fit I never wore it out. I read this in other reviews but thought it might still work - but no go. For context, I'm slim, small waist, average chest and it jut didn't work. Looking more closely it seems to be designed for a 'straight up and down' woman, with a larger chest size, so if that's you this dress might be made for you :). The material is nice and it's good quality.

Too big for me, but beautiful material
I loved this dress and wish I could have worn it - but unfortunately the fit is just wayyy too big. I could have sized down quite a bit for this - and might attempt it again with a much smaller size another time as it is gorgeous in person.

Loved it
So a little story about this dress... I used to own it in white. It was my favourite dress ever, had loads of photos in it all over the world - and one day it got left behind in an AirBNB rental... and thrown out by mistake (I know. I can't even talk about it). Elizabeth and James don't sell it anymore... and RTR was the one place that carried it. Sadly not in white (side note: RTR if you DO have this in white please let me know and I'll love you forever) but: Back to the red version of this dress - it's STUNNING. You won't regret this one: it gets heads turning but in an elegant way. I'm making the most of having this piece and wore it out to dinner, for drinks and it's a winner. Fit info: I have a small waist and wider hips and this feels like it's made to fit. I am usually a 6 or a 4 and I could also wear it in a 4 - but like how smooth it feels in a 6.

Perfect everyday bag
I adore this bag! Yes it is pinker than it looks in the photos - but I read that on another review so was expecting it. I've been using it pretty much every day since renting it and a) love it on a practical level (the pockets work perfectly, and it fits my small laptop too), and b) it's just beautiful and gets lovely comments.

An insanely beautiful dress.
I didn't expect to love this dress so much and got it as a back up - but loved it. It felt it it was made to fit. The waist was perfect (and adjustable), and the length worked perfectly (I am a bit over 5"9 so dresses often run short but this was spot on). I was a bit worried the cleavage would open up etc but no issues at all. The sleeve effect is great too. Material is beautiful in person, lovely feel. In short this one is grown up (professional friendly), but also fun. I got some lovely photos in it too, including some where I'm smiling more than the above! Would rent again.

Loose fit, nice color
Nice enough color and summer-y fabric, however I never wore this out as it didn't fit my body type (I have a very narrow waist) that well - it ended up looking a bit shapeless. I wear a 6 usually with the occasional 4 and even the 4 was way too large. Wish it had fit as it is pretty, and I'm sure it would fit other body types much better (I think someone with a larger bust size would love it more :).
