Did not wear
The corset part of this is strange with the kind of dress that it is. It makes you look top heavy so I did not wear it.

Did not wear
They sent me what appears to be an extra small instead of a large. I ordered a large because I don’t like my sweaters too tight. This could be a child’s size

Just ok - shapeless
Not my favorite- it was a little too shapeless and baggy. Loved the concept but maybe it just didn’t work great in my body type

Cute but too cropped
Cute but a little off on the fit. I ordered a size larger than what I usually wear because of reviews I read about it being too short in length but this made the arms too long. It still was a tad too cropped for my liking but otherwise cute sweater.

So cute fits great!
The cutest most versatile skirt! Love it! Wore to work with booties and a cute top. Fits like described and has some stretch - could wear to work or out to dinner with the hubs or for a night out with girlies. I liked it so much I bought it.

Fantastic dress
I typically wear a size 6 or 8 but in this brand I go up a size or two. The size 10 fit perfectly. This dress is amazing..no shape wear is needed and it is extremely comfortable and flattering.

A not so basic little black dress
I wore this for a Gatsby themed black tie optional party. I didn't want to do a gown and wanted to be comfortable. I also wanted something that I could maybe jazz up with jewelry and accessories. This dress was perfect. Fit true to size. Was able to wear my regular bra and without shape wear due to the thickness of the fabric. It is a great LBD that has a standard sheath shape with the gorgeous ruffles on the side. Very classy - think Breakfast at Tiffany's. This is a dress I wish I owned!

Lovely dress for the Hunt Ball
Very confortable dress with pockets. The dress is forgiving and hides flaws. It is a little long and you must wear heels. But it is an unforgetable dress that is elegant and unique!

Perfect dress for a fun casual party
I was the chair of a casual party at the museum in our town and needed something that was comfortable and that I could move into awkward positions. Before the party I was literally squatting on the floor and arranging silent auction items. I was comfortable all night and the dress was forgiving. It is definitely casual but a cute version of a classic sheath. Can be worn to work also. The 6 was true to size and stretchy.

Forgiving and Flattering Formal Dress
Loved this dress! It was perfect for a black tie function we attended. I have been trying to lose weight I gained from a pregnacy that ended in July so I have a lot of anxiety over clothes since I am still heavier than my normal size. This dress was super flattering and enhanced my waist but did not show any lumps and bumps. The draping is amazing. I could have gone done another size as the top was pretty big even with my big chest. I had to take up the larger strap with safety pins. I wore spans on the bottom but did not really need it. This was my first experience with RTR and it was fabulous! I felt confident even though I have about 20 extra pounds on me - that is a first! The dress made me feel better about myself. YAY!

Pretty dress but runs very large and needs a belt and accessories
The stylist at RTR are absolutely the best! I rented this and another dress for an event. The day before this dress was supposed to ship my stylist Serena contacted me to say the dress did not have the belt and did I still want it. She let me pick another dress and shipped me 3 dresses which I am soooo glad she did. This dress does not work without the belt. It runs really really large. I would consider going down maybe two sizes and I have a big chest and it still was really really loose and roomy. It is a great dress is you have a tummy you want to hide etc because you need no spanx to wear it. The material is really pretty and in the right size with a fab blinged out belt it would be really pretty on! I did not wear the dress to my event because it was way too big but I wore another great RTR dress.

Gorgeous color but short length and runs small
I did not wear this dress to my event but it is a beautiful color. The dress runs pretty small I would go at least a size up maybe 2. The biggest issue with the dress is the length. I am 5'5 and the dress hem hits above my feet before I put on shoes or heels. It looks odd at that length so I did not wear it. Get the long if you order the dress. Also one of the straps in the back had a slight tear in the chiffon. Thankfully I had another dress that worked perfectly thanks to RTR.
