Dress it up or down...Retro, sexy and comfortable!
The fit of the dress was perfect for me while still being able to eat (a lot) and stay comfortable! I chose a different dress for my event but I wore this on a date night by dressing it down with white sneakers, denim jacket, and red lip. Boyfriend was totally obsessed with me in it. Usually I struggle with the bust being large or the hips being too tight but this dress was perfect! I wish I could keep it.

Cute skirt. TTS
The 2 was pulling around the buttons at my hips which makes sense since my hips are a 4/2 but my waist is a 2/0. Still would have worn it but the occasion or right weather never presented itself. Sad to send it back!

Fun sweater skirt
Cute skirt. Nice that it kept me warm enough on a cool day. But the waist is not a true XS. It kept sliding down and requiring readjusting. I think it runs large because it didn't seem stretched out. Wore it to work and for a fun day out and it looked great in both settings.

Comfortable and classy (with a tank under)!
Good quality as expected, however I didn't love how wide the "neckline" was. I guess I wish there was more of a wrapping/overlap for the top. I had to wear a tank under (work conference) and it just didn't look quite like how I wanted it to because a lot of the black tank was showing. Perhaps I needed to size up? Hard to say since this is my typical size for this type of dress. But possible since the sleeves were just barely the right length.

Waistband too tight to wear :(
It's true - waistband does not stretch! At home, the waistband was snug. Wanted to wear this for a formal work event. After 4 days out of town for said event and starting my period, this was unfortunately far too tight for comfort (and I usually tolerate the discomfort for a great look!) and didn't even look flattering. Beautiful dress though. I may try to rent it again though when I can be sure that it will fit, as it looked great everywhere else. Really good for small-busted ladies!!

Comfortable, compliments, but consider tape!!
Was surprised this was 1) long enough for me to wear 3" heels and 2) still very gape-y up top. I'm a true 0 on top but a 2 on bottom & the shape of this dress works well if you have a similar situation! Very flattering as I was extremely bloated! Highly suggest tape if you don't fill out the top. I kept having to hold my dress when bending over and was limited on some dance moves :) My dress also seemed to have shrunk (see how the liner is showing in the photo). Great with gold or silver jewelry

Comfort + Compliments
Perfect for a work cocktail party! Rare to wear something so comfortable while getting so many compliments. I'm typically a 0 on top and 2 on the bottom so I was surprised this fit perfectly on top! I do wish it were a little longer. At my height, I'd have needed flats to keep it touching the ground. I went with a 3 inch heel but any higher would have looked goofy. Probably great for shorter ladies!

Solid dress, all-around
I rented this in S and XS (I have a short torso and wasn't sure where the cut-out would land on me). Wore the S and I would say it's TTS. Flattering fit and placement of the cut-out. The material was thick enough to smooth everything over and hold me in a bit. My favorite thing about wearing this dress to a bachelorette party was not having to carry a coat or jacket around all night. I was out and about comfortably in February.

Unique & understatedly-sexy dress for an outdoor semi-casual wedding.
This dress fit me well at the waist and in the length, however was big in the bust and a tad long in the sleeves. Not surprising though since many dresses with a deep V bust will be large/gape-y on me. Tape would have helped, but I didn't have any so I just tried to watch it and adjust throughout the night. I am a slight pear shape in appearance, but almost always 1 size larger on the bottom half. (The 0 wasn't available so I can't say if that would have a better overall fit or too small in the waist.) Long sleeves and a longer length were perfect for an October wedding, but the fabric was very breathable - ideal for a Southern outdoor wedding that time of year. The slit details and the deep-V made this dress unique and sexy. Unless you are super tall, I would wear with a heel... not a flat/mule as shown in the picture. IMO - that midi length can look frumpy on my average height and pear shape. But it was perfect and very flattering with tan leather cage heels/wedges!

Cute, unique & comfortable
I had planned to wear this to a concert, but changed my mind. It ended up being great for a bachelorette brunch the next day. It was comfortable and unique and is able to be dressed up or down, IMO. This dress runs large, which was surprising to me, since I find most Free People dresses run small. I usually wear a 2, so I ordered the 2 and 4, but I easily could have worn the 0.

Easy to wear, flattering & fun details
This dress fit true to size in my opinion. The shape was very flattering and the open area at the waist was an interesting detail without showing much skin (ie You can eat & drink freely in this dress without worrying about sucking in a food baby). My only issue was the zipper: the zipper pull would move up, but the zipper teeth were not actually closing. I found that if I very slowly and carefully zipped it up, that it would close just fine.

wasn't right for me
I rented this for a bachelorette getaway weekend I didn't end up wearing it for a couple of reasons. #1: Consider it to run a little large on top of you're small-busted. Even the XS was still gape-y in the armpits for me. #2: I disliked the shape/silhouette on me and I should have known better. I am petite/pear-shaped and always want to like this shape of dress, but typically stay away because I find it emphasizes the pear shape in an unflattering way (in my opinion). #3: It was overall too "preppy" looking for me with the buttons and the fabric. The fabric is much more substantial than appearing in the picture (not necessarily a bad thing overall) which made it less casual/more formal.

fabulous bag to complete an outfit
This bag was beautiful and added a nice finishing touch to the dress I rented. It came as an upgrade accessory. I liked that it actually had room for my cards, phone, lipstick, and keys - more than I can say for most clutches/bags.

Perfect for a spring wedding!
This dress is so unique and vibrantly colored. I ordered in sizes 2 & 0. The only downside to my experience was that the size 0 came without the liner, had a rip in the mesh in a very noticeable place, and was strangely too large on me compared to the 2. (The 0 was larger in the arm openings and length, as well as the waist hitting lower... Maybe it was mismarked?) Thankfully the 2 fit like a 2 should and was in great condition. It was very comfortable to wear and I got more compliments than I could count, which is saying a lot at a wedding of 25 people. I agree with the stylist notes: keep shoes and accessories simple with this fabulous dress. I wish I owned it and would probably rent again. This was my first RTR experience and the return process couldn't have been more simple.
