So short!
I'm 5'3" and usually when a dress is mini, it's usually perfect for me. But this was too short for public; it actually felt like a too long tunic. So kind of a weird in between length where it was too long with shorts or pants but too short for a dress. I didn't end up wearing at all.

Great colors and shape
Really liked this shirt. It's TTS and lays nicely. My only small complaint is the length. It's a bit long for my petite frame and I preferred it tucked in. Unfortunately, the material doesn't lend itself to staying put. But it's really minor and still a beautiful top. Would rent again.

A bit awkward but cute
This is probably better suited to someone taller. At 5'3" and wearing a 10/12, it didn't sit quit right - felt like I need 3" more in height or torso. But it was comfortable and I think still mostly flattering.

Size down
I loved this too even with the oversized look of my true size. The color was great and the style is perfect with a high waisted bottom. Looks put together but still very comfortable.

Slightly oversized
Very comfortable dress but slightly oversized. I don't think I could have sized down so I think it's true to size. It's just a little more trapeze like instead of the a line I was hoping for. But i still wore it multiple times bc the comfort and colors were great. .

Not quite right for hips
I wanted to love these. But the fit was just off. The waist was too big no matter where I tried to wear them - high rise or mid raise. Length was great and the structured denim was perfect. Perhaps these just aren't right for a pear shape.

Dinner en blanc
I ordered a size up for my back up per the other reviews but my normal 6 fit perfectly. Which was good because the 8 was definitely well loved. The 6 was in much better condition. It was a little short but not inappropriate or awkward. I wore it without a bra and no issues there either but I'm not well endowed at all. You could easily wear a nude bra and no one could tell I just didn't want to. It's a thicker fabric but still works at an outdoor event in the Southern summer.

Like wearing pajamas
This was very comfortable. I went braless with no issues. The double layer top makes eating easy to hide. I did have to use fashion tape to hem the length. I'm 5'3" and without the hem, the fabric pooled at my ankles. I found this TTS. I sized down in my back up but it was too tight on my legs and around my lats.

Very comfortable
This was an emergency backup as my original choice was too short. This length was perfect on my 5'3" frame for sitting outside. I rented this for Steeplechase, an outdoor horse racing event. The fit was a little snug on the shoulders but I have a more athletic upper body so I find this is the case with most dresses. It's a very comfortable fit but a thicker material so beware if you're wearing outside and it's going to be hot.

Great color!
I liked this dress a lot. The color is amazing and it's a soft lace, not itchy. It's a little tight but easy to walk in with a back slit. The length and high neck are really classy. I ended up wearing my first RTR choice instead of this one but would have been happy either way.

Perfect alternative to the LBD
I disagree with other reviewers to go up a size. My normal size 4 fit perfectly. I got a lot of compliments and I felt great in it. It's comfortable and you can move: I had no trouble lifting my arms over my head. It's a good length for petite girls as well. Great fall/winter dress.

So many compliments
Perfect fit. I'm typically a 4 and this dress was no different. It was a great length for my somewhat petite frame as well. I received so many compliments on the style and color.
