Wonderful color.
A bit snug -- great to wear on a flat belly day!

Comfortable and flattering. Many compliments. One person said, "Oh, is that color back?" Hmmm.
One of the best fitting dresses I've rented. Stretchy but not cheaply constructed. Neckline was not stretched to death like most RTR dresses. Loved the sleeves.

A little challenging
I got this dress for a family birthday party. I ended up not wearing it because it was shorter than I thought it might be, and I would have been tugging it down all night. It is super sexy and shows off curves nicely. Better for a hot date than a conservative family gathering;)

Just fine.
Would love to see this in some other colors, FWIW.

Very good work dress, but...
Fantastic style -- the white border makes it a little more interesting than a plain black dress. The drawback is the knit is fairly thin -- it looked almost see through when lit from behind, and that thinness even lightens the color -- I spent some time trying to decide if it was really navy blue...

Good winter work dress.
Lovely neckline, but requires a strapless bra. This dress was a bit tight at the hipline, so it bunched and wrinkled a lot.

This was much more flattering in person than in the photo. Very sophisticated, and comfortable.
Fit nicely. One flaw was the shoulders were misshapened by the dress hanging on a hanger.

This was a surprising winner. Simple but classy. And warm.
I ended up wearing this twice. Once for work, again for a dinner date at a very nice restaurant in NYC. This dress was great because it's sexy without being ***SEXY MAMA***. The skirt and the modest cut out in the back made it interesting and chic. I belted it and wore it with long black suede boots. Survived a long business day that took me from train to DC to NY and back, and much walking at night in the city.

I ended up never wearing this. It looks much more fitted at the waist in the photo.
Honestly? Every time I looked at this I thought about Melania. I just couldn't wear it. I feel like those bell sleeves are for women who don't actually work.

Nice color. Fit well. Was complimented, but I felt a little like an elf.
I belted this and wore it with high black suede boots.

Wore this for the non-cooking part of Thanksgiving. It was appropriate for looking good.
I ended up tucking this in. It was very blousy to the point of being too much fabric but not covering the right places, and I'm really small on top. It was spot on to wear once for a dinner.

Great dress for an early evening outside wedding in the South. Very flattering. Danceable.
I sized down a bit, which was the right move for this dress. I'm small on the top. A size six would have looked too big. Lovely color. Perfect for the event. Traveled well.

This dress is both sexy and elegant. Perfect for a very special dinner.
It fit perfectly. The neckline reveals a lot of real estate; I gave up trying to make it work with any kind of bra, but it's snug enough and I'm small-breasted enough that I think it worked. And yeah, no underwear.

Loved this dress!
This dress is a size 4L. Fit like a glove and kept its shape for about 8 hours of non-stop movement. I wore very high heels, and the length worked well. This dress emphasized my curves! I wore a strapless bra, but probably could have gone without. The bodice is tight; if I had a bigger bust, I would have felt squished. I attended DC's RTR pop-up a week before, and that was terrific. The RTR stylist was very knowledgeable and gave me great advice, and I was able to try on a few samples that helped me determine the best size for the different designers, and took it from there online. I did NOT try this dress on at the pop-up, but did try on a few other Mischkas. As a business, RTR is brilliant, did exactly what it promised to do, and then some. Totally exceeded my expectations, and I spread the word with everyone who complimented me (which was everybody:)! Hope I have another opportunity to order again!
